PRESIDENT WILSON'S
MEXICAN POLICY

Pensacola Journal: Harper's
agement and policy. is rapidly fore
ing recognition as a vigorous expon-
ent and mouIder of progressive pub
lie sentiment. In its current issue
it voices the idea, so often expressed
by the Journal that American eX-
ploiters in Mexico have no right to
expect this government to act either
as an armed guardian or a collection
agency for their interests in that
country. Harper's, however, puts it
in much better and stronger terms
than the Journal has ever been able
! to express it and We take pleasure in
quoting from one of Mr.. Hapgoods
editorials as follows:
One of the current ideas of the
time, taken for granted by most peo-
| pie, is that man has a right to go
/ into a half-civilized country in order
to make money by speculative invest
ments, and then, if political condi-
! tions in that country interfere with
| his money-making he has the right
to involve his own nation in war to
protect his sO-called interests, thus
| forcing his countrymen to interrupt
their useful activities, and spend
! their money and their blood and
! brutalize their civilization for the
sake of looking after his dividends.
This is not President Wilson S
view His conduct of the Mexican
situation has been remarkable for
patience, and for a firm but tactful
adherence to those general principles
by which his whole life and thought
are guided. AS he has stated public
| ly, he wishes to act mot in the in
terest of any person or body of per-
sons who may have personal proper
ty claim in Mexico. Those foreign
newspapers which have been calling
! his policy in Mexico amateurish may
imagine that their own conduct OF
the Balkan affair and other compli-
cations in Europe and Asia is profess
sional; but they will have hard work
| to convince enlightened Americans
that professionalism of that sort is
superior to amateurishness of the
kind that President Wilson is exhib-
iting.'
Aside from some of the critical re-
publican opposition which hesitates
at nothing to cast reproach on the
democratic administration; the
Hearst papers, which always find il
easier to lie about good man than
to tell the truth when the truth is
distasteful to Hearst; the manufac-
turers of arms, armor plate and gun
powder-aside from these-the Viii,
son Mexican policy meets with the
unqualified approval of the American
people and of humanity all over the
world.

SENSIBLE SUGGESTION

St. Petersburg Times: The Tam
pa Times notes that I'VE have had
lots of fun" discussing the matter of
the redistricting act and the folly of
the legislature in providing for the
creation of the new district five
months after the general election, so
that the new districts will not be in
existence when the new representa-
tives will have to be elected. and we
have argued that the new represen-
tatives will have to be chosen accord
ing to the old district lines.
The Times thinks all of that is very
specious and looks correct ito a man
up a tree''--but it doesn't view
things from that altitude. There is
another view, taken from the level.
1t is this: Suppose we elect three
members from the old districts and
one at large, as by the present rule.
BY provisions of the new redistrict-
ing act those old district lines will
be abolished and there will be no
congressman at large authorized, on
theh very day that the terms for
which these new representatives are
chosen commences, to-wit: on March
4, 1915, and the new district
ing provided by the act of 1913 will
go into effect on the same day, MAX
ing four districts with lines entirely
different from the present three and
no congressman at large.
The situation that would confront
us would be this: We would have
four representatives preparing to
commence new terms for districts 60
ing out of existence upon the very
same day that these men claim to be
commencing to represent them. And

The sad death of Mayor Gaynor,
while at sea last Wednesday, from
years ago, will serve to clear the po-
litical atmosphere in New York.
There is only one ticket against the
Tammany aggregation and John P.
Mitchell, the fusion candidate will
doubtless be the next mayor of New
York. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that Tammany will be defeated by a
tremendous vote. If the decent peo-
pie of New York would come out and
vote, there would be no doubt of the

One of the beauties about commits
sion government with the initiative

people want anything done they do
not have to wait for it Indefinitely.
They can just step out, get busy a
little while and it can soon be record
ed that the thing they strive for
came to pass. Pensacola News.
Maybe so, but we would rather
watch it for awhile in a neighboring
city before seeing II tried in our own.

The arrest of Schmidt, real or pre-
tended priest, in New York, on the
charge of murder, and the discovery
of clues, linking him to other felon-
les, instead of causing the condemna-
ton that some inconsiderate people
are expressing for the Catholic cler-
gy, should call attention to the fact
that. this is the first time in many
years that the name of Catholic
priest has been linked in America
with the commission of any great
crime. If you don't believe it, search
the records, and you can see for
yourself.

Its the Stars opinion that if the
state elects four congressman and
sends them to Washington that they
will be allowed to take their seats
without any dispute. Congress itself
is not likely to make any complaint
if the people of Florida are satisfied.
