Shall We Have War
With Mexico?

There is at this time a strong
pressure being brought to bear
on President Taft to make him
interfere with military force in
Mexico. / have a strong suspi-
cion that this pressure comes
from big property interests who
have investments in Mexico.
If it becomes necessary for this
government to intervene for the
purpose of protecting the lives
of American citizens in Mexico l
do not know that / have serious
objections. / do have serious
objections however, to this coun-
try going to war with Mexico
for the protection of mere prop
erty rights.
Americans who invested their
property in Mexico did it at their
own risk. After the Mexican
people have settled the question
of who is to govern it will be
proper for those who have lost
property to ask the Mexican gov
eminent for indemnity, but it is
not a ground for this govern
ment declaring war on our neigh
Dor on the south. If so, then we
would have had no cause for COM
plant if any European nation
had interfered during the war OF
the Rebellion because the prop
erty rights of certain British or
German or French subjects were
being interfered with by the OPP
erations of the war.
No loyal citizen of the North
would have been willing to ad-
nit that any one of these gov
ernments had a moral right to
send their armies and navies over
here because the property OF
some of their citizens had been
destroyed, neither have we a
moral right to declare war on
Mexico for the same reason.
Of course if we send our army
into Mexico it amounts to a de-
claration of war. 1t is morally
wrong and it is economically
wrong. 1t is true that Mexico
is a weak nation. In a war il
will be no more a match for the
United States than a poodle
would be a match for an English
mastiff, bnt even a war with
Mexico will involve an expendi-
ture of hundreds of millions OF
dollars and the loss of a good
many thousands of lives. =
If it is merely loss Of prop
erty we could better afford to pay
the Americans for the property
lost than 10 60 70 war, just as i

would have been billions of dol
lars in the pockets of the people
of this country if we had paid
the southern Shareholders for
every slave if by so doing we
could have avoided the terrible
cost of life and property caused
by the war.
Of course the Shareholders in
their madness would not have &C
cepted such an offer, but what an
awful loss of lives and property
would have been averted!
President Taft is reluctant to
precipitate a war. 1t remains to
be seen whether he has the cour.
age and good sense to stand out
against the pressure of those
who have merely a selfish prop
erty interest at stake. Tom Nc

GREATEST IN THE WORLD
Its Stupendous Importance Not On
derstood and Realized Until It's
Construction is
Witnessed.

The people Of Keokuk who only oc-
oasionally visit Hobbies of the hotels
and occasionally meet visiting strang-
ers would be astonished if they should
be enabled to read the comments
made b. visitors to the city, guests
at these Lotels. on the ,featness of the
marvellous work being done here in
building the great Miss;.aippi riv.r
dam. Different views and ideas are
held by various individuals, but all
of them speak of it with surprise and
wonder.
AS single illustration of the inter
est taken and the comments made on
this enterprise, Charles Boyer, a
prominent business man of st. Louis,
who has been in Keokuk several days,
in the Hotel Keokuk lobby last night
showed the greatest interest in the
stupendous proportions of the labor
asking many questions of the details
of the work, its beginning and its
present status. While he had heard
much of it, he seemed not to fully re-
alize the greatness OF the enterprise
until he had spent a few days in the
city at which it is being built, had
heard the loud blast tearing the rocks
assunder and witnessed the strong
and skillful machinery and appliances
used in its construction. In his en-
thusiasm of surprise and marveling
he declared it wonderful piece Of
engineering with evidence of brain
and unparalleled engineering skill He
believed it the greatest weter power
in the world.
And this is only one of the many
who come here unprepared to witness
so great an enterprise.
It's stupendousness has been de-
scribed in newspapers all over the
country but 1t is not fully realized and
appreciated until the stranger comes
upon the ground and sees for himself
the power and magnificance of the
great undertaking, rapidly approach
ing completion.
