there was very little interest taken in the club the club is not local ; there are other similar clubs in all of the large universities headquar ters being at columbia university in new york city in many of these clubs work in accordance with the purpose of the club is done in the towns or cities in which the clubs are situated but here the ob ject of the club is to allow the mem bers to come together to discuss po litical questions and to hear speak ers on questions of a political na ture the statement is often made that the college graduate is in the majority of cases ignorant of po litical affairs and also often indiff erent it is the college graduate who is expected to take an active and prominent position in the world's affairs and he should be ac quainted with the conditions which he will meet after his statement of the purposes of the club mr mickel presented professor stew art professor stewart before taking up the subject of his talk spoke of the importance of politics he said that politics needed more up right men to better existing condi tions the public schools the pub lic health and other things of vital interest to every man are involved in politics and it is only when the voice of the people is expressed that everything goes along as it should the speaker gave several examples of political fights in which it was doubtful whether any principle was involved and in which political greed was the most prominent char acteristic when professor stewart took up the subject of the mexican situa tion he gave the history of another mexican revolution similar to the present one this revolution took place between the years 1867 and 1876 and resulted in the adoption of a constitution similar in many respects to that of the united states a congress and president were elected diaz being elected presi dent with the exception of a few years diaz remained in his position until he was exiled during the pres ent revolution diaz maintained peace throughout the country by strict discipline but the people had little or no choice in the govern mental affairs and the government kept itself in power by armed force the man who dared to run against diaz was imprisoned there were no newspapers or other means of voicing the public sentiment but the people were gradually becoming restless under this subordination during the time of this superfi cial peace foreign capital was pour ing into mexico to develop the rich resources of the country the uni ted stales furnished almost half of this great britain was second and germany and france next in the
