HOPE FOR MEXICO LIES
IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

"If the American troops ever oe-
cupy Mexico City," declared DR.. B. L.
Sleeves this morning in commenting
on the situation south of the Rio
Grand border, "Ameriean institstions
viii follow them, and the blessings of
American schools will create stable
government. American schools in
Mexico viii be able to do more good
than bayonets but the bayOnets must
go first
DIR. Sleeves, who is a captain in tke
Third regiment, o. n. g., believes
that "the problem of Mexico" is the
white man. s burden ON this hemisphere
and that it must be faced first or last
in a. firm manner. cit is only when
the United States takes a firm hand in
the government of Mexico that order
will be brought out of the chaos there
If America goes into Mexico and estab-
fishes a stable government, the poor
landless Mexican will be given the
only square chance he ever had of get
ting land to live upon, and of getting
an education for his children.
sit is true that Americans will go
down there and settle and find oppOr-
tunities for development of the coun-
try. Peace, sanitation, and eduea-
tion will follow the American people
and give Mexico the chance her people
have been fighting for so long
"It ought not to take so very long" +"
DR.. Sleeves stated, "to restore peace
throughout Mexico, establish firm
government, and introduce the Ameri-
can school. While many Americans
would undoubtedly benefit in a com
mereial way, the Mexican himself
would be benefited the most. 1t is
not like occupying q territory far dis
tant from our shores. Mexico is con-
tiguous and will eventually form part
of the great United States of America.
In few short years, the Mexican will
grow up as loyal citizen as any,"
DR.. Sleeves believes that the United
States should go on to Mexico City
quickly. He believes it is necessary
and that it will come to pass eventu.
ally.

Chickens that in the aggregate are
valued up in the hundreds of dollars
