Az ES, SIR said Mr.. Dooley, "Pm sthrong
FIR our Mexican policy"
what is it?" asked Mr.. Hen
messy.
q don't know" said Mr. Dooley. "In
gin'ral way it is to watch an to wait-watch
till some frind iv ours gets kilt, sind sharp
reprmand to our ally like Wei, | declare or
Tut, tut an thin wait till it happens again.
But it's goin' to come out all right in tn end.
Th' screty iv state, who has charge " tn
matter, was interviewed afther his throm-
bone solo at Chilicothe, Ohio, tn other night,
an he said he had not heerd firm Mexico FIR
a week, but he felt sure that whin he returned
TO tn capital he wud find that affairs were ap-
proachin' q happy solution. Amy day now |
expect to read: OWN to tn sthrict enforce
ment iv tn fugitive law tn last cause iv on
aisiness in tn state departmint over Mexico
has been removed be carredges to Calv'ry.
His name was Higgins an he come firm Hav-
erhill, Mass
"It's no good f'r we to go ragin' an tearin'
around because our little frind Pancho Villa
is so impulsive in argyin' with strangers
that ofthen whin coort martial has con-
dmned a white man FIR speakin' with a
Unreasonable accint in tn prisince iv tn
great liberator they have to go out an dig
him up to enforce tn sintince. Don't be
carrid away be rash impulse to punch
somebody in tn eye. Be a statesman like
Willum Jennings Bryan 1t is thrue that /
mesilf often feel whin / read tn news firm
Mexico that ought to go down to Chihoohoo
an take our good an great frind be tn scruff
iv tn neck an kick him all tn way to Eagle
Pass an thin hand him over to tn gov'nor
iv Texas while go acrost the sthreet to tn
grocery store an buy clotheSline. But
that's why / amt statesman. Ye don't
see Willum Jennings gettin' red in tn face
an poundin tn table over these thrifles.
No. sir. He goes serenely about his platform
Jooties an his lecture program is absolutely
unruffled.
Our relations with Pancho is most corjal
an just what ye'd want tn relations iv a gr-
reat civilized republic with wan iv tn most
notorious burglars now in public life to be.
We give him tn gun, he shoots tn prisoner,
an we apologize to tn powers. It's wan iv
the pleasantest alliances this counthry has
contracted since it took in tn mickrobe iv
inflooinzy. We're justly proud iv our little
frind, an he loves an RESPECTS us. P'raps he
holds us in too much awe an vineration, but
that is no more thin nachral in meek an
modest half breed who has gone into part
nership with wan iv tn most pow'rful ma
tions in tn wurruld
II hope tn administration won't be too
severe with him. thought | see signs iv that
in some recent remarks at Wash 'nton, an it
wud be too bad if the alliance was weakened
be autycratic methods. He shud be ruled be
kindness an love. There's no use in big
sthrong man like Woodrow Wilson bullying
this gentle soul. F0r instance what was tn
good iv sindin' this rough message last week
King iv England wants to know if We intind
to kill amy more iv his subjicks. l know
ye'er ixcillincy's tender heart too we'll to sug-
gist that ye do, but if it isn't too much throu-
BILE I'd like an answer collect To which
Pancho made tn followin' almost obseekyus
reply. None iv tn kings business or yeers
ayether. But if We have to know, yes. Sind
on some more ammynition, an be quick
about it, or I'll go over an take it away firm
ye.'
