A Yankee in the Far East

Up in the interior of our country we don't look upon the Mexican situation with the same passionate interest that they do down here on the border-in El Paso, for instance. Here is a town of sixty thousand. A magnificent city, with everything that goes to make our modern civilization desirable. A city of sky-scrapers, a million-dollar hotel (the one I'm stopping at), with still others that would do credit to a city twice its size. Splendid stores, residences, and railway station, and forty-five miles of fine macadam streets-a city of gimp, go, and bang-a city to make an American citizen proud of his country.
