...people have the coarseness and the utter want of finer sensibilities, to joke about it. The average sentiment around College this afternoon seemed to be, Well, it's about time he did something or other; or, the damn fool! did he expect to go on living on nothing...
Mexico's failure is explained simply enough by her utter lack of tradition. In government, above all else, the past is of supreme importance.
