Misgivings About Mexico

Has.eAnarchys now gathered such
Roadway in Mexico as to battle even
the united power of Diaz and
Madero? This ominous question
seems to have suggested itself to
many an American editor as he COM
pared the rose colored daily dis
patches about the peace negotiations
with the contemporaneous reports
Of battles, brigandage, the murder
OF foreigners, and warnings to
Americans to take their families out
OF the country, which continued to
pour in from various sections in
spite Of the fact that an armistice
had been officially proclaimed by
both sides. Thus "the most sinister
phase 0 f the situation" in the
opinion of the Cleveland Leader. is
the swift sliding down into bri-
gandage, the easy relapse into cha
otto and anarchistic conditions, land
the lack of any informed and reso-
lutte public opinion in a grave crisis"
These things "cause deep distrust
of the capacity of the Mexican
people for orderly and efficient self
government. The gravest fact
revealed by the civil war, is ''the in
competence and decentralization. not
merely of the government, but of
the people behind the government.
The idea of intervention by the
United States seems preposterous
and yet Unbelievable pressure, de-
clares The Wall street Journal, sis
being brought to bear on the adj
mlnlstration, on congress and on
newspapers to bring about such in
PREVENTION, and the motives for such
pressure are of the most sinister
character 1t goes on to say:
About all that Mexican hates
worse than an American is two
Americans. The fact is there and
it is as we'll to recognize it, because
1T means that every Mexican would
JOIN arms in resentment at American
interference. We could unquestion-
ably settle the domestic difference
IN Mexico; but we would have iob
on our hands which would make the
campaign in Cuba look like summer
picnic. The only parallel in modern
history would be the British inter
vention in Egypt in 1882 with its
tremendous chain of consequences
Nothing could be easier than getting
into Mexico. The problem of oct.
ting out again would appal create,
administrations than this country
has ever produced.
This ought to be obvious. but
self interest will blind itself to anv
thing. Our investments in Mex;ce

do not forget that England expected
to bring the Beers to terms at first

country at the opening OF the war
of rebellion, which lasted four years.
We read that Senator Jones is in
quandary about how to vote on the
reciprocity bill now pending before
the senate. We wish he did know,
but it is not surprising that he is in
doubt. 1t is -perplexing question,
enc which legislator should not
vote upon without serious consider
alton. Mr.. Jones' hesitancy shows
strength instead of weakness; and
the fact that he has been and per-
haps is now in doubt inspires conf
dence that when he does vote (if he
hasn't already it will be on, the
right side. 1t affords us some con-
ISOLATION to find an intelligent
doubter who has all the points in
the case forcefully presented to
him for we, too, are in the same
doubtful mood. 1t seems to us that
reciprocity would be beneficial to
large majority Of the people of
both countries and but very few,
if any of our industries would be
injured, but the question is too COM
plex for us to decide to our own
satisfaction.

Events in Mexico are whirling so
fast and furious that one should be
up in an airship over the field to
make editorial comment. From our
long range view point when writing
four days ahead of publication it
seems quite possible that Uncle Sam
may have to send his troops across the
border to argue the case with pow
der and ball. The relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico
are somewhat similar to those exist
ing between England and South
Africa at the opening of the Boer
war, though South Africa was an
English dependency and therefore
the legal right to interfere was not
so much question to be deter
mined as is the case. between the
United States and Mexico, but

New York Not Extra Dry"
\ New York dispatch says:

A New YOrk dispatch says:
Mayor Gaynor a few days ago
wrote to the pastor of a Brooklyn
church: II will give $40 for
evidence of traffic in liquor on Sun
day in any barroom.
The mems club of Grace Presby-
terian church in Brooklyn set out to
earn the $40. AS a result of their
detective work they reported that
in two out of eighty-four saloons
visited liquor was being sold over
the bar. Of the eighty-four saloons
six+y-seven were doing business less
openly. The club lays claim to
having qualified for collecting $40
of the mayors money.
Every one is interested at this
time in crop conditions throughout
the northwest, says the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange. w. F. Gwin, gene
raj manager of the exchange, says,
''the situation throughout the entire
northwest indicates that compare
lively little damage has been done,
outside of the Yakima valley, which
seems to have suffered quite severely
from frosts. Such damage as has
been done in other districts seems to
be confined to early varieties of fruit
and is very difficult to estimate at
this time. So far as the general
apple crop of the northwest is con-
cerned. there is nothing to indicate
that it has been seriously injured,
and the outlook is for a large crop
for the season of 1911"

Is the climate Of the country
changing? 1t showed in Vicksburg,
Miss, on Wednesday for the first
time in the history Of the city,
and the worst that the state of Wash
ington has suffered this spring is
frosts which did little if any harm.
They say that in prehistoric times
the hippo wallowed in the Hudson
river and polar bears sported about
the Amazon. At any rate all the
good climate seems to be coming
this way and the bad climate going
somewhere else.

are unquestionably large probably
twice as large as even those of Great
Britain. They include mines, rail-
roads concessions, and other valuable
developed and undeveloped projects,
to say nothing of banking interests
of most extensive character.
added to these influences are
the manufacturers of warlike stores
of all sorts, who would revel in an
opportunity to supply the United
States on terms like those extorted
during the Spanish War. They
know, if the public does not, that it
would take quarter of million
American soldiers to occupy Mexico
effectively, with all that this implies.
Besides this, the inevitable polit-
ical complications with other
countries are to be feared. Every
Latin Republic to the south would
be in blaze. The temptation for
European infringement of the Mon
roe Doctrine, with the hands of the
United States tightly tied in Mexico,
would be enormous. AS for the cost
of such Intervention, the military
part of it might be represented by
the land operations Of the Spanish
War multiplied by ten; while an in
definite occupation of Mexico would
make the millions spent upon the
administration Of the Philippines
look trif1ing by comparison.
"The condition is critical, and
every lover of peace and good order
should be alert to seize the first
wretch who attempts to throw a
match into such powder magazine. !"
