Letters From Readers
MeddIing in Mexico Mischievous and Mistaken

Editor Call: That SO many edi-
torial columns decry and deprecate
the constant, clamorous call to arms
OF the yellow press is cheering
sight to see" For American invest
ors in Mexican lands, mines, rail-
roads, etc, to clamor for armed in
tervention (Which, of course, means
war; seems to a sane man simply
suicidal Not only would such inter
vention be the signal for a general
looting and burning of American
property, but also probably for the
entire conhscation of real estate held
by the enemy, of which the expro-
priation of lands in the Balkan war
has been the latest example. From
the standpoint of American ethics
Mexico has as much right to work
out her own destiny in her own way
as had the United States during the
war of the rebellion, and as much
right to resent interference with in

From merchants point of view,
what can be more undesirable than
wantonly to offend good customers,
unless it be the wholesale murder of
those same customers?
As to the Monroe doctrine obliga-
tons, Monroe formulated that doc
trine with one intent-to keep this
country forever from the perils of
the European curse of militarism,
with its endless dynastic wars of
ambition. He never once had an
idea that his statement of policy in
volved the use of the army of the
United States as catspaw to pull
chestnuts from the fire for the sake
of European bond holders.
Lastly, there never was a good
war or bad peace"

Cookies Saucy Candor
Supplies Levity to the
Play

Cookie, with her quick wit and
saucy candor, furnishes to the
play the necessary amount of
levity and sparkle, and relieves
what might otherwise have been
felt to be the extreme moral ten
sion of the play.
The value of the play lies in its
interesting practical bearing upon
questions of current life.
A minor feature is the failure,
the criminal failure of the par
ents to bring up their daughter,
or rather to let their daughter
come up with no apparent regard
to the fact that she must some
time be a woman in the world
and could not always be a girl
in the home.
1t is rebuke to those parents,
fathers and mothers both, of
whom there are great many,
who make their duties to their
children secondary to other in
terests, and while attempting to
carry on their shoulders the
world at large leave their off
spring to take care of them
selves.
The more special point of the
play has to do with the indispo-
sition of mothers to instruct and
warn their daughters touching
questions of sex.
This matter is dealt with deli
cately, but frankly, as it should
be if it is dealt with at all.
Insinuations in such case are
worse than silence.
No reasonable member of the
immense audience gathered in
the Manhattan Opera house
could have been other than
grateful that the subject had
been publicly brought forward

Wilson Has Proved the
Trouble Is Not With
Education


1t is in the interest of the un-
disciplined and unphilosophical
to give the largest possible cur
rency to notion of that kind
and there is truth in the opinion
that a man may be educated
away from the concrete as we'll
as educated toward it; but, that
the trouble lies not in the fact OF
education, but in the method of
it, is abundantly demonstrated
by the kind of administration
that is being given to the coun-
try by the man that the people
discovered in New Jersey, and in
the classic shades of Princeton
university.
1t is not knowledge that spoils
people for practical efficiency,
but knowledge that has not been
carried through the digestive
process by which it becomes
converted into wisdom.

Some Pleasant Features
of Our National
Life

Just at this time when, as ex-
Senator Stilwell says, everybody
is calling everybody else a liar,
it is relief TO turn our thoughts
away for a moment from local
conditions and fix them upon one
or two pleasant features of our
national life.
We are learning quite to our
satisfaction that the country is
able to get along very comfort
ably under a democratic presi-
dent.
1t is a question whether pro-
fessional republicans and pro-
gressives are reconciled to the
fact, but the general public seems
to be, and that is more to the
purpose.
Judging from the conduct of
the present incumbent of the
Office it appears that man need
not have had long experience
in the intricacies and crooked
ness of political life in order TO
be able to handle himself intelli-
gently and to deal with large
questions of statecraft with
circumspection and efficiency.
1t is possible that the shorter
ones political career has been
and the less, therefore, he has
been touched by the taints that
seem to be an almost inevitable
accompaniment of political life,
the better prepared he is to serve
Z successfully the public interest.
The theory has also been main
tanned that thorough scholarship
and the possession of philo-
sophical cast of mind disqualify
one for mastering the concrete
orohlerns of administration

A GENEROUS reception was
n accorded to William Nor
ris' company of English
players Monday evening on the
occasion of their first presenta-
ton of Cosmo Hamilton's new
play, "The Blindness of Virtue" "
Although the applause was not
vociferous, it is much to be able
to say that the play was re-
ceived with a quiet and earnest
appreciation of the lessons that
were intended to be conveyed
and which were conveyed in a
manner full of spirit and dra-
matte power.
The Rector is a man of win
ming personality and with none
of that overcoating of clerical
ism that is so apt to spoil an
anglical clergyman for all utili-
tartan purposes
Archie is brand plucked from
the burning, but with so much
good stuff in him left uncon-
sumed that even the Rector was
in the end obliged to bow before
him in humiliation.
Effie is sweet young seven
teener, who had been affection
ately housed by her parents, but
who had been otherwise ne
elected by the father on account
of his professional duties and by
her mother because of her prior
devotion to household cares.
She had simply existed at
home, had never set her eyes on
any man but her father and the
gardener, and consequently fell
in desperate but innocent love
with Archie at first sight
The San Francisco call., 1913-11-13

and dramatically emphasized in
just the way it was done by Mr..
Morris company.
The public needs it.
The responsibility upon par
ents is heavy one.
Fathers are too much preoccu-
pied with business and mothers
are getting too busy with matters
that are not their concern and
are trying to regenerate society
at the top while neglecting it at
the roots.
We would congratulate Mr..
Morris and Mr.. Hamilton on the
solid value of their work.
