HATRED OF THE GRINCO

Americans should not forget, in considering the
present unhappy complications In Mexico. that
throughout all the Latin republics south Of the Rio
Grande there is an abiding hatred Of them, the
Kansas City Journal observes. This animosity II
not always openly expressed. especially when
Americans possess visible means Of resentment
But It always exists. The character Of the Mexi
can IL complex and strange He is an admixture
OF odd races and he is Influenced by many active
characteristics. Proportions vary greatly as the
scale descends from the pure Castilian to the frog
lodyte Indian, and there Is every conceivable
combination Of mental and physical elements In
the Mexican makeup. But there 10 one unchang-
ing and uniform quality common to all. and that
Is distrust, fear and dislike Of Americans.
II one were to seek leaven that might bring
homogeneity OF interest and purpose to majority
Of all those Of Latin blood. he could find nothing
more potent than firing the powder of hatred
toward Americans. And this Is the thing which
we must take very seriously into account at this
time. Insurrection is chronic condition among
Mexicans That is their somewhat strenuous
method of playing politics" They do not take
their International differences nearly seriously
as we suppose Their political battles fought
with rides, it is true, but their sentiments are
highly volatile and are subject to quick change.
If, therefore, we in America witness the somewhat
pleasing spectacle of our own people laying aside
at moments notice their political differences
and all getting behind our president in common
cause we must consider that to very great ex-
tent the Mexicans will take the same kind Of
action.
