United States Gives Warming.

Every true American viii echo the
sentiments of the administration as ex-
pressed in its ultimatum to Mexico. Il
has the true ring. one that inspires pa
triotism and causes the dweller under
"Old Glory" to feel proud of the gov
eminent that looks after his welfare no
matter under what flag he may be liv-
ing
The disturbances in our neighboring
country have been going on for a period
long enough for its government to rec
ognize the gravity of the situation and to
have taken more strenuous steps to pro-
tect the lives and property of all for
eigners living under its rule The
United States government is not ask
ing the impossible, for the note of As
sistant Secretary Wilson is equally APP
plicabIe to the federalists and the revo-
lutionaries.
1t is probable those now living on the
border will have an unpleasant time
from that class of irresponsible persons
who live by levying tribute on the real
worker, but the. knowledge that
Uncle Sam has keen eye on that sec
ton of the country is apt to make even
that class realize what it means if any
acts of vandalism are committed.
"A stitch in time saves nine" is a
trite old saying, and one that in this in
stance is a true one. The warning will
act as deterrent on possible outbreaks
in our sister republic, and it is probable
will have the effect of bringing the war
ring factions little nearer together. If
it does that and brings peace where
chaos now reigns, it will have accom-
plished great deal
The United States government has
been very patient in its treatment of
Mexican affairs. approaching the ter
rible responsibility of taking any action
that may lead to serious rupture. The
result has been hands off" policy that
has reacted on American interests. Now
leaders of rival factions will see to il
that no more depredations are commit
ted on this side of the border and that
the interests of Americans will be pro-
tected.
