The American Method

Not long ago some Europeans
were finding fault with the Unit
ed States because it did not
take more active steps in deal
ing with Mexico, active steps
meaning essentially sending
troops across the border to pre-
serve order.
There are different kinds of
international diplomacy, The
American kind as carried out by
President Wilson has saved this
country from a long, costly anC
appalling wal with a neighbor-
ing nation. European diplomacy
has failed to prevent one war,
which will be no slight one, and
it may not be able to prevent a
vastly greater one.
Judging them by their results
we prefer the American method,

Talks On Proposed Amendments

-
jefferson City, Aug. Is. The
second of the series of arguments
on the measures to be submitted
to vote at the coming election
was issued today by Secretary
of State Cornelius Roach. Those
wishing to vote intelligently on
Number Two should preserve
this article. The sole purpose in
giving these arguments is to
furnish information to the voter,
and the Secretary Of State is in
no way responsible for assertions
made on either side Of any sub
ject discussed,
The reasons given why Amend
ment No. , should be adopted
are as follows:
This amendment effects Kan
sas City alone. The %constitu-
tional limitation on debt-making
power Of the city to five per
cent of the value of taxable
property therein has always
been barely sufficient to enable
the city, rapidly developing, to
pay for necessary public work.
By amendment, in 1902, of the
Constitution, waterworks bonds
Of st. Louis and Of Kansas City
are excluded from such lnnita-
ton.
This amendment (No, . au-
thorizes the city to acquire, by
condemnation or purchase, such
public utilities as the gas plant.

only against the utility on ac
count of which they are issued
and will be paid out Of The

utility. Such bonds can not b.
issued without the assent Of tw.
thirds of the voters of the cit!

for that purpose. The posses

so, but will also operate as a
powerful protection against abus-
es and violations by private cor
porations of their obligations to
the public.
Those opposed to the measure
set forth the following reasons
why Amendment No. 2 should be
voted down:
(1) The proposed amendment
is too broad in its scope as to the
character and kinds of business
in which Kansas City or any
other city ought to be permitted
to engage.
(2) Excessive bonded indebt-
edness Gas would undoubtedly re-

.Watchful Waiting

For a considerable time the eX-
preston, "watchful waiting, O.
riginated by President Wilson,
was a source of mirth or deriSion
at the hands of newspaper para
graphers and even the more seri-
GUS workmen of the press. Nor
can it now be said to be happy
inspiration, either as to words
or a policy. Great things in the
worlds history have rarely been
achieved by a policy of waiting.
Not uncommonly another shib-
boleth of a copy-book type, ''be
up and doing" has made a
stronger appeal to the popular
mind, and has achieved results
worth recording.
Yet all the indications at pres
ent point to the conclusion that
President Wilson's policy toward
the Mexican republic, the policy
of watchful waiting, has come to
a happy issue. 1t was a chance
the administration at Washing
ton took and it might have re-
suited disastnously. But as events
have fallen out, it must be con-
ceded that the rightly policy, un-
der the circumstances, was
adopted.
It was a policy which possess
ed the high merits of democratic
forms. It assumed that the
Mexican people had a right to
solve their own problems, so Ions
as they did not infringe too
~carelessly upon the rights of any
of their neighbors, and that their
own interests would best be
served if they were allowed to
adjust their difficulties to the
best of their ability,
Current reports are to the eff
feet that the American vessels
of the larger type will be with
drawn from Mexican ports;
and also that the body of Offic-
ials known as the Federal Gov

Manhattan is the town that used to

Manhattan has marched steadily on
