TO MANAGE THE ZONE

During his sejourn in he Pana-
ma canal zone, Secretary Garrison
has studied the question of the
kind Of administration it shall
have. The existing commission Of
seven members will. it is snticipst-
ed, be abolished about the end of
next year. The public seems al
ready to have reached the conclus-
ion that Colonel Goethals, chief en-
gineer in canal construction, will
be governor of The zone. But there
are differences of opinion as to the
form of administration that should
be created.
Quite aside from his own rela-
tions to the case, Colonel Goethal
is of the opinion that there should
be one-man authority in the zone,
but there is earnest advocacy of a
commission plan OF administration.
with at least three members there
on. Mr.. Metcalfe, at present head
of civil administration on the 18TH
mus, recommends a commission.
A little more than a year ago
Congress passed a law for the oper-
ating of the canal end the admin
istration of zone affairs. This law
in fact, contemplates a one-man
government. Apparently the presi-
dent and, as well, a good many
congressman are inclined to favor
the commission plan. Perhaps Sec
rotary Gsrrison's visit will prompt
him to recommend a change in the
law.
Due credit will not be withheld
from Colonel Goethals in anything
relating 10 the Panama achieve
ment. AT the same time there will
always be a recognition of the fact
that a distinguished big four"
will share in the glory; the group
consists of army officers who start
ed the work and have been seven
years in association with it. All are
of the engineering corps.
These men rightfnlly share in
the honors. Colonel Gorgas is
mentioned as the man who made
the canal possible. Everywhere
the testimony Of engineers was that
human beings could not endure
the climate or resist disease long
enough to accomplish the work Of
building the canal. Gorgas accom-
plished wonders. It has been said
of him that he could make the
zone a health resort and drive
yellow fever off the face of the
earth. He is off for South Africa
on an important mission.
Galliard dug the Cnlebra cut,
mastering difficulties which, it was
predicted could be overcome.
He went to pieces physically on the
day when he declared his work was
finished; he lay unconscious in a
Baltimore hospital when the Gam.
boa dyke was blown up. Colonel
Silbert built the Gatun dam, great
est structure Of its kind in the
world. He built the double locks
IN the Atlantic side ard the great
spillway, and he created Gntun
lake. These three share with Goe.
thals the credit for the building of
the canal. Ely Expositor.

Furthermore, if the United States shall
be compelled to invade Mexico, the guns which
would be turned against our American sol

Finally, the proposal of the Administra-

livery loyal American citizen will be glad
to hear that the United States is to take
some definite and determined action in


take such action.
There has been succession Of empty ul-
timatums delivered with irresolution and in
decision, and received with Indifference and
derision, until the very word "utimatum"
has become joke, and the foreign policy Of the
United States may be said in truth to have
added to the gayety of nations.
Now at last the Administration at Wash
ington has announced that it will take action in
Mexico, and every sincere citizen who be-
leves this declaration will desire to see it take
the right action.
In order that the Administration and the
nation may take the right action, it is essential
that President Wilson should remember that
his particular position is that of President Of
the United States. He is not dictator in ex-
celsis of the Western Hemisphere, nor inter
meddler in ordinary in the internal affairs of
all Latin-American countries.
AS President of the United States his par
ticular function is to look after the interests
of the citizens of the United States, and not to
decide the governmental problems and cleo
toral complications of the citizens of Mexico.
The United States surely should inter
vene in Mexico, but it should intervene to pro-
tect the lives and rights and legitimate inter
ests of its own citizens, and should only inter
fere in the internal affairs Of Mexico in so far
as those affairs affect the lives and rights and
legitimate interests of the citizens of the
United States.
The necessity for some sort of definite ac-
INV ba Government Of ha cd Stato
is fully recognized.
Every civilized government assumes to
protect the lives and legitimate interests of it's
citizens, not only when its citizens are in their
own country, but also when they are engaged
in proper pursuits in other countries.
The fact that the Democratic platform
specially and specifically declared that
The constitutional rights of american citizen,
should project them borders and so whh them
throughout the world ndeoey american citizen residing
hapng property in any foreign country is entitled to
and must be sipen the full protection Of the United States
Government. both for himself and his property"
adds nothing to the obvious and imperative
obligations of our Government.
Every civilized and self-respecting gov
eminent everywhere guarantees to its every
citizen this much protection, with or without
specific declarations to that effect
For some three years a state of anarchy
has prevailed in Mexico Conditions of semi
savagery have existed there This situation
has been glorifed by the name of Revolution,
but it is not revolution-it is riot, robbery and
rapine.
Bandit bands roam the country, murder
ing and marauding The animating spirit of
this anarchy is not patriotism but plumber.
Federalists have been in control of the gov
elnment. and this state of anarchy has still
continued.
Constitutionalists have been in control of
the government, and the anarchy has not

The United States Should intervene in
Mexico to Protect American Citizens

clLlLeHS OF Lne UnlJeQ states nave Deen Killed,
and great deal of property belonging to citi-
zens of the United States has been destroyed.
The burden of this murder and destruc-
ton has fallen upon the smaller and less power
full citizens of the United States in Mexico.
These smaller citizens are not able to protect
themselves and their families and their small
accommodations, but have to depend, for the
safety of their persons and the safeguarding of
their property, upon the power and good faith
Of the government of the United States.
1t has been intimated by certain leading
representative of the Administration that am
moved to the defense of these unprotected
American citizens in Mexico by the fact that |
have property interests there myself.
| would not dignity this accusation with
an answer, except for the fact that it is desira-
bic to make the whole situation in Mexico abso-
utely clear, and to show that it is the plain cit
izen Of the United States in Mexico who chiefly
needs the protection of his government and
not the more or less powerful citizen.
The property in which | am interested in
Mexico is protected by hundred thoroughly
armed men. There have been numerous bat
ties between this safeguarding force and the
various bands of bandits who have attempted
to plumber the property, but in every one of
these battles the bandits have been defeated.
| can take care of myself and my en-
ployees and my property in Mexico and else
where Citizens with sufficient resources can
always do this
But the smaller citizen can not employ
standing army to give him the protection
which his government ought in honor and
duty to afford.
1t is the smaller and weaker citizen, there
fore, who is outraged insulted, robbed and
murdered
My plea is for the protection of this
smaller citizen of the United States, and for
the maintenance of the honor and dignity of
the United States, not only in the matter of
Mexico but throughout the world
At present, the smaller United States citi-
zen in Mexico is in pitiable state. He is sub
jected to insult as we'll as injury, for he is be
heved to be not only isolated and incapable of
protecting himself, but to have home govern
ment which is neglectful of his rights and
which is either unwilling or unable to protect
him.
The advice of the Administration at Wash
ington to the citizens of the United States in
Mexico to abandon all they have and flee the
country is not an exercise of the obligations
of the government, but humiliating disregard
of the duties and responsibilities of govern
ment.
The proposal of the Administration at
Washington to allow the admission of arms
into Mexico for the better alming of the Con-
stitutionalsts is an astounding evidence of
governmental fatuousness, feebleness and
folly.
The greater part of the bandit bands which
roam Mexico, marauding and numbering, call
themselves Constituencies or Revolution

SCHOOLGIRLS
Board Of Education Has No Back
to Eve Garb Problem on Its
Hands.

Boards Of education in other cities
may be having trouble over High
School girls dressing in extreme OF
immodest styles, but the Atlanta
board is perfectly satisfied with the
way the schoolgirls here dress" de-
clared Colonel Walter R. Daley, pres
ident Of the Board of Education. 20
a Georgian reporter Wednesday.
Our Atlanta girls are too well
trained at home and have too good
an example set them at school to go
to ridiculous extremes" continued
Colonel Daley" Both the Girls High
Schools here are entirely free from
foolish competition in dress. and the
board has never heard a single com
plant
Desire Culture, Not Fads.
THE girls realize that frtvolity and
lessons do not mix, and they are more
anxious to acquire an education than
to follow the fads and fancies Of
modern fashion.
81 am sure no set Of schoolgirls
look heater or sweeter than ours. We
have as fine a looking lot OF girls
as any school In the country, and
every one always looks nicely and
sensibly dressed. | notice that IN
Los Angeles, Kansas City and other
places the boards of education have
had TO pass rules against the girls
wearing slit skirts, tight gowns, hob
BILE dresses and other extreme styles
am sure such a problem will never
confront the local board, and, any
way, we are not going TO worry about
e until we come to It."
Girls Show Democracy.
schoolgirls should not try to out
dress each other A public school Is
supposed to be democratic, and while
all people can not be born equal as
far as brains and family are con-
cerned. the schoolgirl should not try
to more forcibly impress upon her
less fortunate schoolmate the differ
ence in their station in life by far
undressing her.
THE Girls High School graduated
fourteen fine young ladies last June,
and all had their graduating dresses
made exactly alike. That was true
democracy. and doubtless many a
young girl was saved a heartache over
the fact that her dress was not as
pretty as the other girls. Again l
may say that Atlanta has a sensible,
modest lot OF schoolgirls, and the
Board OF Education is proud Of ev-
cry one of them"
