on the Mexican table-Inside. and

an important part in Mexico's strug-
gles. in the rise and fall of Monican
governments. Monday: Spain Over-
thrown.
ly W. M. “ADOBE.
NBA Service Writer ...“.
Cortes conquered Mexico with a
small military force and a great
deal of religious duplicity.
It has been told how the sagacious
Spaniard. inflamed against the
mighty Montezuma tribes whose
gods and whose priests were hostile
to the gods and priests of the Astecs.
and how the splendid Tenochtitlan
fell before the combined attack of
these enemy Indians and the Span-
ish forces.
The glory that Cortes captured
for Spain burned for three centuries,
only to be snuffed out by the same
force that lighted it-religion, and a
village priest named Hidalgo.
Spain‘s early administration of af-
fairs in Mexico was wise. Mendoza.
the first Viceroy sent by Charles V.
in 1535. was a moderate man. just
and generous. He protected the ln-
dians from abuses to which the.
Spaniards were disposed to subject
them. and stimulated agriculture, of
which the people already had con-
siderable knowledge.
lipid Conversion.
Spanish government was establish-
ed on a firm base. and this was
aided by the religious orders. Men
of high character set themselves to
bring the newly conquered region
into the bosom of the church. The
lndians flocked to the standard of
the cross. The rapidity of the con-
version was phenomenal.
Associated with this early conver.
sion to Catholicity. and illustrative
of it. is the story of the Virgin of
Guadalupe. the nation's patron
saint. On the site of the present
shrine of‘the Virgin. near old Mexi-
co City, there once was an altar
built to the mother-god of the tribes,
Tonantsin.
It. is related that Juan Diego. n
passwt. had several visions of the
Virgin at this place. and that she
gave him roses which she took from
the barren rock to offer to his blah.
op as "a sign." According to the
story. a spring of healing waters
gushed from the earth where she
stood.
Further. when Diego arrived at’
the house of the bishop. inside his
blanket. and upon it. he found
painted a picture of the 3on Math.
er. This picture has been widely
coIed. and in every home in Mexico,
no mettm how poor, b a reproduc-
tion of the likeness.

throw of Spanish power took its seat
among the Creoles. as were called
the children of Spaniards born in
Mexico. Though these were of pure
Spanish blood they were not consid-
ered fit for offices of trust and im-
portance. Spanish blood ruled, and
that meant that the man who held
office must have been born in Spain.
This discrimination against the
natives showed alike in church and
state. Of the early bishops of
Mexico. 26 of 33 were Spaniards.
The people who professed the
faith of the church were unable to
reconcile themselves to the fact
that to be a. governor, either clerical
or governmental. one had to be a
Spaniard.
Wealth and Luxury.
“1th the acquisition of vast prop-
erties. and subsequent luxury. a
change came over the very quality
of the clergy. In the 17th century
the beneficial influence of the religi-
ous orders began to wane. simply
because the priests bad, for the most
part. become vain and worldly. and
so wealthy that in some cases their
estates extended 100 leagues.
It was largely the influence of the
religious orders by which Spain
mounted to a strong pedestal of
power in Mexico. And. It, was the
influence of the same orders. and
the example they later set. that led
to the downfall of Spanish rule in
that country and the creation of a
republic.
The Dominicans. who had long
been the dominating power in gov-
ernmental affairs. themselves fur-
nished a powerful reason for the re-
volt. Through the Inquisition they
had stirred up hatred for the exist-
ing regime.
While the people were suffering
the most abject poverty. the religous
orders lived well on great estates.
built great monasteries and church-
es and. through the law of tithes.
galned wealth that well might have
been applied to the development of
industry.
All these things linked to stimu-
late the uprising of the people which,
in the latter days of the 17th cen-
tury, waited only a leader to sweep
the country.
And. with the 19th century that
leader came. a simple village priest.
Miguel Hidalgo y Castillo. who late
on the night of Sept. 15. 1810.
sounded the famous "grito do Dolor-
es." the cry of independence that
rushed across Mexico like a swift
flame.

Behold the iii-page sports supple-
ment! Is all America playing?
It is? Playing hard because it is
working hard. The harder it plays
thc‘harder it works and vice versa-
There is no better barometer for
gauging a country's moral status
than the manner and magnitude of
its sports. Also there is no auror
indicator of the health of its indust-
ries.
Sport knows no class—the grand-
stand of a baseball field is the great-
est fraternity house in the world.
The chief economic value of any
sport is the leveling of class barriers:
ii is the common ground. the camp-
moetlng of good fellowship.
The ancient Greeks behaved that
physical development was essential
to mental perfection. The fact is
obvious. As for the influence of out-
door sports on the moral stamina of
a people there can be no dispute.
The poisons of passion disappear un-
dcr the sky. Who can hate for long
in the open? Jealousy loses its edge.
disappointment turns to hope. we
learn to endure our troubles.
Besides. there is the wholesome-
ness of fair competition. Sport: de-
velops our sense of fair piey—iustice
reigns supreme on a ball field. at a
tournament. It fill” no politic.
Brawn against brawn. brain against
