A Uio convention of .Mexican army leaders now in ses

seeks fundamental change, the faction representing the de
mands and welfare of the peons, is in the majoritv. Jf these
demands, voiced by Zapata and Villa, are not met, the rev

ceive official recognition and become' the law of the land.
Carranza has not shown himself, from the verv first,
in sympathy with the agrarian revolt. Pompous, stiff and
formal, deeply impressed with his own importance, his
desire seems chiefly to have been office, not reform. The
radical program proposal, that rallied the revolutionary
loaders to his banner, has been changed by success to a
conservative one. "What else could be expected from a

half century, reached a point where it became unbearable
and the revolution is the result.
Villa has repeatedly shown his sympathy with the aims
and ideals of the revolution. Time and again he has defied
the conservative Carranza and ruthlesslv confiscated and
subdivided among the people the huge estates in the states
conquered by his military skill. Chihuahua and other
states testify to his administrative ability. A born leader,
he has recognized the cancer afflicting Mexico and ruth
lessly played the surgeon.
Zapata in the south has played he same role as Villa in
the north. Ruling Morelos. a creat airrieultural state, he
has joined revolt after revolt, sustained by the people of
ins uistrier. 111s attacks extend to the suburbs of the cap
ital itself, but all efforts to conquer him have failed. He
openly stands for the poor peons, demanding beneficial
results at once, even at the expense of so-called "vested
rights." Tn a manifesto recently issued in the Voz do
Juarez (Voice of Juarez) of Mexico City he sets forth the
aims of the revolution as follows :
This rjirnrlan revolution Is not being fought to gratify tho ambitions of
o.-.o person, ror a group of porsons, nor of n political party. It Is of n
useper crinin. nnd has Metier alms. Thn man nt iim rinirU u-n lumi-v
nd full of misery; he had been exploited beyond endurance, nnd at last he
tcok up arms tc win the bread which tho rich In their greed denied him;
to obtain powepslon of the lands which were In the grasp of the selfish proprietors-
rnd to recover his mandhood which tho slavo driver so long had
outraged, l'e embarked upon revolution, not to win Illusory political rights
lilch fall to provldo food, but to procure a bit of ground which would
yield him breed, liberty, a homo, independence, nnd a chance to get ahead.
Those who think that the establishment of a military government, that Is,
a despotic r.oernment, will assure the pacification of the country, aro Badly
mistaken. This can bo accomplished only by rendering every clement of
tho old regime Impotent, and by creating new Interests closely united
with tho (evolution, sharing Its dangers and Its prosperity.
Tho greater part, If not all of tho territory, which must be "natlonol
Ucd" represents land wrested from small proprietors with tho cbnnlvanco of
tho Dlai dictatorship. The second aim is tho restitution of fheso lands to
their orglnal Individual owners, and tho indigenous communities or1 pueblos.
This great act of Justice will be followed by presenting thoso who never had
anyimng-wun a portion of tno lands confiscated from tho accomplices of dls
tatorshlp, or expropriated from tho spendthrift heirs of tho old land-robbers,
who do not even trouble themselves to cultlvato their Inheritance.
Thug will the hunger for land and the appetite for liberty, vhich arc felt
from on, end of tho republic to the other, be s&tlefled. '
This will hi tho formidable rrolv n thn Kirarari nt li lamfa r.rn.

maintained & system of. exploitation wnlch would scarcely have been borne
by tho most unhappy serfs of the Middle Ages.
Tho country wnnts something more than the vague promises of Senor
Kabela, supplemented by nothing better than Senor Carranza's astute
silence. It aims to break nt once with the feudal epoch. It alms to de
stroy at one stroke the relations of master and serf, of overseer and slave,
which obtains from Tamaullpas to Chiapas and from Sonorn to Yucntan.
Tho masses of our cop!; desire to live under conditions of civilization,
to breathe the air of economic liberty which they liavo never enjoyed, and
which will remain unknown to them If they leave In authority a tradi
tional "Senor" of the old regime, disposing according to his pleasure of
the person of his laborors, held down by pitifully Insignificant wage, anil
brutalized by poverty and Ill-treatment.
"Administrative reform" for those who have no share In government,
"liberty of the press" for those who do not know how to rend and wrlto,
"freedom of tho ballot" for thoso who do not know the candidate, "correct
administration of Jtisilcc" for those who never employ a lawyer theco demo.

lost their charm for tho people of today. They huvo como to realize that
with elections or without them, with suffrage or without It, uith dictator
ship and a gagged press or with liberty or the press, alwa ami under all
conditions they continue ruminating on their bitterness, enduring their
hnrdshlps, Stirling as best thoy can their never-viidlng humiliations.
On this account the agrarian revolution, distrusting the elilofii who
hnvo taken to themxelves the airs of conquerors, has adopted the Im) pre
caution to requlro that all tho revolutionary rhleftalns of tho entire countr
shall participate In the naming of a president ad Interim for calling the
elections, for It Is clear thnt upon the ad Interim president depends the
future or the revolution and the fate of tho republic. What more just
than that nil the Interested representatives of a nation In nrins should
unite In the designation or the functionary to whose keeping hall be en
trusted the Tabernacle of revolutionary promises and the Ark of the
Covenant with the yearning people? Why this fear on the part of the
so-called Constitutionalists to pass through tho crucible of reolutlonar re
vision and to render tribute to tlif democratic principle of free illscuiuslon
of a candidate to represent all the people?
