Of course the bea of this event upon the affairs of the Unitec States will be secondary only to its bear- Ing upon the future of Mexico itself For the first time since the overthrow of the autocratic Diaz, a succession to the Mexican presidency that has been both peaceful and constitutional has been effected. The will of a majority of the Mexican people has been politically ex- pressed without recourse to arms or in- trigue. In this case the majority will is proven to be a distinctly liberal will, Calles being the champion of labor and the small farmer. Beyond being a personal triumph for Calles, his election and inauguration is a tribute to his predecessor, the retiring president, Alvara Obregon. Obregon came in as a conqueror. In office, however, he did not seek personal aggrandizement and the perpetuation of his own power, In- stead, he worked to make possible the return by his people to constitutional methods of self-government. In the Northern view it now seems as if the long nightmare of warfare and dark plotting in Mexico were ended. It now seems as if the Mexican people, rather than Mexican politicians, were in power. No development outside of this country itself could mean more to the United States. This is true for the average citi- zen, who wants no more than a “square deal” in Mexico or in other foreign coun- try, whatever would-be exploitationists and concessionaries on this side of the bor- der may think about it. The Star has faith now more than ever before in the future of Mexico, and in the ~ future of amicable and profitable business ' and other relations between the citizens of ‘ that nation and the citizens of this one. They're Different YWAY, there’s to be a test of the female in high office. “Ma” Ferguson, governor-elect of Texas, is of the homebody sort.

This is a good starter and almost enough to keep congress busy for a few weeks tackling Muscle Shoals, the world court, foreign affairs, tax reduction, a public building program, and lot of other measures pending.
