Professor Tells
Club Revolution
» in Mexico Paid
Ur. E. A. Ross, Former Ne
braskan, Says Customs
Still Hold Republic
Down.
o„e revolution that'paid was in
- exico. Dr. E. A. Ross, professor of
sociology in the University of Wis
consin, told the Lions club at a lunch
eon in the Fontenelle hotel yester
day. The people below the Rio Grande
are through with revolution, he de
clared, for they have received what
they fought for and are satisfied.
1! there is any further outbreak it
will come from owners of big es
tates that have been broken up into
small farms or from the oil corpo
rations, he asserted.
Hr. Ross, who formerly was a pro
fessor in the University of Nebras
ka. was greeted with the Nebraska
>ell and greeting some of his former
students launched into his subject.
“The Mexican people are still under
a number of handicaps,” he said.
“Their worst heritage is the stigma
of the Spanish conquest, when a few
thousand Spaniards mounted the backs
ot millions of natives. Work has al
v-ays been considered a disgrace by
the upper classes, and on any travels
there 1 amazed the natives by such
a little thing as carrying tny own
grips, instead of turning them over
to an Indian porter,
fp "The domination of men over worn
en is another handicap. However, the
women are so far morally superior
lo the men that they seem almost to
be of another race.
“There is no idea in Mexico of a
public official being a servant of the
people. This idea is only 175 years
old. having been originated by Fred
erick the Great. The Mexican idea of
a public official is a master. Official
graft is regarded as the regular thing
end the man who docs not.-take ad
vantage of his opportunity^(p-egard
ed as a fool. This is true also in
South America.
“In spite of all this heritage from
the past, the people of Mexico have
won a new self-respect through their
Uine years of revolution. They
face the future with hope and arc
no longer servile. They now have
a government formed on the basis of
labor. President Obregon is a Rort
of Abraham Lincoln. The labor unions
are strongly organized, with 900.000
members. Their ideas are pretty
much In harmony with those of the
American Federation of I, a bur.”

Every Car Is a Used Car!
t
Tf Preposterous is the idea that because an auto
is not brand new it is not a safe investment.
Good cars are all the time finding their
way to the salesroom floor to be sold as
SECOND-HAND. After a car has gone a
few hundred or even a few thousand miles,
it is still at its best, unless it has been
abused.
11 You can buy a good second-hand car of al
most any make from dealers and private
owners who daily list their cars in the
“Automobile” column in the “Want” Ad
section of The Omaha Bee.
If It will save you money—big money. Even

not start out now, with a good used car? ,
