greater inducement to murder more Americans
and destroy more American property.
Furthermore, if the United States shall
be compelled to invade Mexico, the guns which
would be turned against our American sol
diers would be the guns which the govern
ment of the United States had put into the
hands of the Mexicans
Finally, the proposal of the Administra-
ton at Washington to install one or another of
the contending Mexican factions in control of
the Mexican government offers no prospect
either of peace to Mexico or of protection to
the citizens of the United States.
Any one faction installed in power would
Immediately encounter the armed opposition
of every other faction throughout the country
and the operations of these other factions
would be leveled with peculiar vindictiveness
and virulence against all citizens of the United

faction in this Mexican complication and OPP
posing the other factions.
The United States should intervene in
Mexico, but there is only one course that it can
pursue, either honorably OF effectively, either

own citizens, or with sufficient repressive eff
feet on the state of anarchy prevailing in
Mexico.
That course is to occupy M exico ard
restore it to a state of civilization by
means of American MEN and American
METHODS.
That course is for the United States
itself, not some incompetent and unrep-

peace and order and civilized procedure
in Mexico for the proper protectio1 of our
own citizens and or the best benefit of all
honest and Worthy Mex can citizens.

efficient organized government, capable Of pro-
tectlng Mexican citizens and American cltl-

may then retire from Mexico whenever such
retirement shall seem to be in accordance with
