Told in a Little Space

Francisco I. Madero was inaugurated President of Mexico Monday of last week. It is gratifying to see that the country has so soon become tranquil again and shows no signs of further trouble. This is in contrast to conditions in South America where revolutions are more or less perennial, or at any rate, are not slow to arise. The uprising against Diaz seems to have been a genuine protest against dictatorship a protest brought about by the growing intelligence of the people and a growing desire for a more democratic government. Fortunately this desire for a greater measure of popular rule seems to have been combined with an increased capacity for exercising it.
