Attacks Mexico Policy.
aIofs the Presidents course In Mexi-

deal TO say.
1.-THE situation In Mexico today is
indescribable,p he said I'VE know
that over $50 OF our own citizens have
from time to time been murdered; we
know that countless others have been
injured in different ways and have no
apparent remedy or redress
Senator Borah said that 102 men
were executed in four days during the
French Revolution. which was suppos.
ed to be "the peak Of human atroclty in
the history of the race"
st was only to be excelled upon
the American continent, and In sight
of the American flag, where 1855 were
executed in four days." said Senator
Borah.s
There are some things which are
dearer to me than peace.
II It were necessary again to send a
vessel Of war to Vera Cruz, or 10000
troops to the border,lI would send them
with this message: We are now here
not to acquire Mexican territory or to
destroy the Mexican Government. but
to see that wherever upon the face of
Gods footstool an American citizen Is
found, whether the Government be
weak or strong he shall be protected.
Do you think the warning factions
of Mexico wuold not heed such a
statement?
This mistreatment Of American
citizens in Mexico is due to the fact
that there has passed into the Mexican
mind a firm belief that we will not pro.
tect our citizens; and Issay whatever
criticism shall come to me from those
who love peace more than they love
honor, that the flag that will not pro
tect its protectors Is a dirty rag that

THE POOR EDITOR.

Few business men have more to
contend with than an editor. The
only means the editor has of making
a living for himself and family is by.
selling space in the columns Of his
paper. Hisnewspaper columns are
the same to him asthe shelves of idrs
goods are to the merchant. No one
thinks OF asking the merchant to give
him the dry goods from his shelves,
but few they are who hesitate to ask
the editor to give them a few columns
free in his ~paper.-Elkins Inter.
