The commonwealth recovered by

In the days when these things

there was no honesty in politics and
never would he. The thing was an
ttopian dream. II those In Office

change?
But the whole question bears a
different aspect now. A different
public opinion everywhere prevails.
Stealing of public funds, even If
covered up under contracts or in
any other way, has become Just as
disgraceful as stealing from bank

H. ton in Mexico between the

&sy ton IN Mexico between the
warning revOlutlOnists Of
that unhappy country and the con.
seGuent danger to American and
other foreign residents. our gov
eminent should be slow about
thrusting itself into the situation
by intervention and the invasion
of Mexico with troops on the
ground Of protecting American
citizens. AS long as the warning
factions show disposition to re-
spect the rights Of American and
other foreign non combatants, and
this seems to be the case as far as
such a revolutionary condition as
exists in Mexico will admit, there
is no excuse for intervention. It
is true that one or two Americans
have been wounded and there has
necessarily been some property
loss to those caught within the
fighting zone of the fierce battle
that has been waging the past ten
or twelve days in the City of Mexi-
co between the Madero and Diaz
combatants, but no wanton attack
has been made upon American OF
other foreign residents of the city.
Indeed upon the demand of the
United States Ambassador, as
much consideration has been shown
to foreigners as reasonably could
be expected under the circum.
stances by two frenzied revolu.
tionary forces.
It is said that the Mexicans, all
divisions of the warning revolu.
tionists, look with much disfavor
upon intervention in their affairs
from any source, and there exists
among them strong undercurrent
of feeling and prejudice against
this country and American resi-
dents because of a jealous fear that
the United States have covetous
designs on their country. The
landing Of United States soldiers
on Mexican soil, which in itself
would be a declaration of war,
would so infame this feeling that
much more danger than protection
to American and other residents
and their property would be the
immediate result.
This being true, as long as no
wanton attack is made upon Amer
lean residents and such protection
is accorded as the unhappy and un.
settled condition of the country af
fords, would it not be unwise, in
human, for the United States to
invade Mexicof-for that is what
