AND STILL MEXICO.

And still Mexico-though Mexico is
not still. The problem is there and will
be for many years.
1t is not within the power of President
Wilson, or any other man, or any mum.
ber of men, to change Mexico for at
least two generations.
The United States can and may take
charge of that country and try to govern
it, but it will still be Mexico.
Mr.. Wilson may eliminate Huerta but
what next?
Any other Mexican president will still
be Mexican.
What Mexican presidents have been
history proves, and nothing better can
be expected IN the future. Huerta has
been only emulating the example of
Diaz, the dictator.
Just now with their country torn by a
half dozen separate 'rebellioDs'. with a
government" which everybody knows
was baptised in the blood of the assasi-
mated Madero, with the whole country
practically in state of anarchy, the
Mexican people are united in only one
sentiment, "Death to the gringo."
1t is becoming evident that President
Wilson expects to starve Huerta out,
for want of money. It is also becoming
evident that this policy may be success
full. But what then? Will the rebel
factions unite? Will the present sup.
porters of Huerta agree with each other
or with the rebels?
In other words is there any possible
hope that Mexico at the present can
become self.governing country? And
if not what follows?
The prospect is not pleasant, but it
looks to US as inevitable. The United
States must step in and govern that un.
happy country until it is able to govern
itself. And if this is the inevitable, it
might as well be doue now as to wait
until there are more assasinations and
brigand rebellions.
Perhaps the very hatred of the United
States might act as the best possible
means of bringing the MeAicans to their
senses in case of our forcible govern.
ment 1t acts that way sometimes.
The whole world is looking to the
United States to make peace and good
government in Mexico. President Viii

ed in some way soon. That he will do
the very best he can, everybody believes;
but he is human and it would take
superhuman power to make a Mexican
other than Mexican.

THANKS.

Next Thursday is the annual day OF
Thanksgiving and it is we'll that we
sometimes stop and size up the blessings
that fall to our lot, even while We realize
that perfect happiness is impossible
even though one had the full power of
governing himself and his environments.
In fact it is very questionable whether
in that case, we would be as able to
provide for ourselves as we'll as is gener.
ally provided for US.
In this annual balance sheet, men
are prone to emphasize the apparent
misfortunes rather than good fortune.
Sorrow seems to be stronger than joy.
We miss the missing more than that
which is present. We are constantly
hunting Tor the one lost sheep, and for
getting the ninety and nine that are
safe within the fold.
We judge ourselves by comparisons,
but we are always making such compari-
sons with those whom we think are
better of than ourselves, instead of look
ing below where the most of humanity
live.
When one considers that majority
of the people that live on this globe are
in constant struggle to barely live,
with almost none of the things that we
consider necessities, who do not even
know Of most of the things that go to
make n home as we understand it, and
such as we enjoy. that in itself proves
how, muchswe have to be thankful for.
Every individual has his or her own
troubles; because these troubles are
personal. because no one else can share
them, we naturally think that ours are
the worst. It's ones own tooth that
hurts when It aches, sand yet at the
same time there are thousands Of other
molars rebelling in thousands Of other
mouths. II you happen on Thanks-
glving to- be without the toothache and
can enjoy your turkey without the ac-
comparing pain, b happy, and thank

arc suffering with the toothache and
have no tuSkey anyway.

who threatened to attack the consul

Mr.. BRYAN called upon the Secretary

II became necessary TO send mill.

something almost naive about Mr..
BRYAN's communication that there
would appear to he ample authority
and precedent for doing so to prevent
killing of or Injury to the Consular
representative Of this nation, whom
proper Mexican authorities are unable
TO protecn"
General BLISS thinks there was
narrow escape from intervention. But
Colonel +. w. SIBLEy. commanding the
Fourteenth Cavalry. an old Indian
fighter and border veteran. was equal
to the occasion. BY appointment Gov
ernOr CARRANzA met him on the inter.
national bridge at Eagle Pass, and
gave guarantees that the consulate At
Piedras Negras would be protected and
the rights Of American citizens as
surel, Accordingly he despatched n
patrol to the town, not only to guard
ELLSWORTH but to discipline those In
surgrnts who had got out Of hand.
Governor CARRANzA also made 4 formal
apology fer what had occurred.
