THTETY-SIX YEAES AGO From Thursday's Dally One of our old time residents re marked today that St. Patrick's day was not what "she used to be." the remark being called for by seeing t he few green ribbons and shamrocks that were being worn.

The old resident stated that on this great and glorious celebration of Ireland's patron saint that Governor James E. Boyd, the first democrat ever to be elected governor of Ne braska, and himself a son of the ould sod was here for the day and a great parade marched through th main streets of the city with a great nias meeting at the Waterman opera house, then standing where the Jour nal building is now located. At that tim there were h'ir""l- nf the Irish descendants living ' : t and they made the occasion one of the most notable. The Evening Jour nal on that day was printed in green ink and the printers, while not all Irish assisted in the celebration. As our informant was sipping a coca cc !a today, he stated "on the big day of the celebration a man that called for beer was looked at .iscant" and it is really no wondei there ir- no real enthusiasm nowdays.

W. E. Thomas Tells of Condi tions From Kis Observations Many Hear Address. Flom FrJtlay.8 railv Rev. William Evans Thomas, spoke last evening at the First Methodist church in this city on the present day problems of Mexico, declaring that he had every hope of the present sit uation in Mexico righting itself and the differences between the govern ment and church being straightened out amicably. Rev. Thomas was foi five years pastor of the Union I'rotes i tant church in Mexico City. I The trouble there stated, he said, 'over a law passed in 1917 which rul ed that all ministers and priests must 1e Mexican born. There are a few : exceptions, in the case of a consrega 1 tion of foreigners, which are allowed c nion Protestant.

Two idols sev eral hundred years old of an ancient rain god were shown; one made of volcanic glass. The knives which were used in the human sacrifices in these ancient religious practices for cutting out the hearts of the human victim were also made of this vol canic glass. According to a noted his torian the Mexican civilization has been destroyed three times, the last bein:? by the conquest of Cortoz, vho burned his ships that his Spanish i soldier tould not return. It was stateci that the reason for the differ- was that Mexico was colonized for its gold and wealth with a consistent policy of exploitation dowa through its his'ory and our country was set tied bj people who came wifh the de sire to find God. Rev. Thomns stat ed tne Mexican people are not an in feric r people naturally, but, dem onstrated by the work of v.ven the most ignorant of them, they possess great r ative ability. The unrest and unsettled condi tion of today in Mexico are not a sud den upheaval, but a gradual growth of protest against the oppression of the masses. The first great revolt to establish the present ideal of govern ment was through the influence of Mexicos great Indian general in the middle of the last century. He has .been called the Abraham Lincoln of Mexico. This revolt was broken and its effects temporarily lost, bu the constitution adopted in 1917 again decreed, the separation of church and state. The government was not strong enough to enforce its decrees however, and it has onty been recent- sides of the Rio Grande, but the Mex ican government is not against re ligion. It does say, however, that all peoples must obey the laws whether they be Protestant or Roman Catho lic. Rev. Thomas said there were many priests who would obey the law if the church would allow them and that many Roman Catholics helped him in his work in Mexico City. A group of Roman Catholics even were ready to purchase him a car for his pastoral work, when the law went in to operation last August. The govern ment is making valiant efforts to es tablish a real system of schools. Dur ing 1926 it established one thousand new schools and had placed within its budget finances for one thousand more new schools during 1327. It is making a real effort to break up the 'rreat estates and form small holdings real needs of the people. There are many magnificent cathedrals in Mex- ico; even in a very small village one will be found often costing more than ( & quarter or a million dollars.
