INTERVENTION NOT DESIRABLE

The duty OF the United States toward
Mexico Is too plain and simple, seemingly,
TO admit of our going wrong, unless we
blunder criminaly. Primarily. II is-keep
out OF Mexico. IL II can be avoided. There
can be no excuse or justification FOR the

constitute one of the legitimate chances
which one must accept when he risks his

another matter. But We haven got to

FUo,T,vEs LARGELY IMITATION.

Not one in fifty Of the Americans, men or
women. who poured out OF Mexico In
March had ever seen fight between fed-
erals and rebels, or bandits, had ever been
in the slightest personal Jeopardy. had ever
been threatened. insulted or even legiti-
mately scared. Some of the stories these
folk told when they got back to the States
and which were printed. were ridiculous.
They were harmful, for they helped spread
the belief in the States that no Amei-
can was safe in Mexico, that the Mexicans
were slaughtering and torturing Americans
by scores ana that a general and whole
sale massacre Of Americans was imminent
at any time.
An examination of the State Department
records In Washington probably Will show
that there exist not more than three or
four authenticated cases-this eliminates
hearsay evidence-wheren Americans have
suffered violence, or death, since the Ma
dero revolution began nearly two years
ago. There is a big difference between
killed American and scared American.
And Il ia the realization OF this difference
that should help a good many folk who are
careIessIv and loosely chattering about
intervention to understand why the United
gates hasn't interviewed In Mexico, and
wbv IL won't, on the present face OF the
returns.
What is there to intervene ABOUT! IL Is

and completely balled up when he tries TO
answer. 1t is a curious and somewhat re-

two months ago that MaderO VIII not be

dead weight among the citizenry before

merchants, business men have come out in
support Of the government. The Importance
of this influence is not to be discounted,
particularly among population which al
ways has taken It's cue as to conduct In
public matters from men OF superior educa-
ton and wealth. The better thinking
people began to appreciate that the country
was drifting on the rocks Largely because
of their passveness in allowing the machi-
nations OF the agitators and irresponsible
mischief makers to go unchecked.
Other things woke them up. In March
there was an unnecessary and sensational
stampede across. the border by Americans
from Mexico City and other parts OF IN"
republic. The whole thing was rather silly.
