Tho Way to Carry Out tho Presidents
Mexican Policy.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. There
10 but one logical and effective way OF
carrying out the Presidents Mexican
policy. Mexico must be strictly Isolated,
shut of from the rest OF the world no
person allowed to leave or enter the coun-
try on any preteIt and no commodity
exported or imported. except arms end
ammunition. Perhaps poison might be
added TO tho imports permitted. II this
were done, In short time they would
have killed OF each other, Ike tho XII
kenny cats; most OF the helpless nom
combatant women and children would
have starved 10 death and the country
would he clean and ready for occupancy
by whatever enterprlsins colonizers our
Government might favor al the moment {;
japanese, for instance, or Germans.
OF course there are slight practical dim
cultiss II involves some inconvenience
and expense to us and the rest Of the
world, but what Of that in the face OF
its ideality? We should have 70 establish
tho closest kind OF a blockade along the
whole Mexican coast line. which would
call for the addition OF several hundred
light draught vessels 10 our navy and
about 100000 additional sailors and
marines We should have 10 build elabor-
ate fortifcations not only along our Mex.
lean frontier but along their southern
boundaries also; and we should have to
garrison these lines with efficient soldiers
az a police force. say about 100000
men But again, what OF that" Think
Of the noble end IN view
II Is unfortunate that the President
has only a bit moro than two years in
which to put this plan into practice. II

tary whose weakness and unfitness have
been known to him for years, and whose
incapacity has become more extensively
apparent with each day that has passed
since he undertook the duties OF an
Office he can never fill. Because of
this most unhappy circumstance the
President must chain himself to the

The GIorifcation OF Ign ORANGE

At a quasi judicial proceeding in this
city held ostensibly for the purpose OF
reaching a wise conclusion on a grave
question OF public policy this startling
ejaculation was lapuched upon the I'M
offending air:
Let us thank GOD that some OF us are
stll making mistakes"
The grateful worshipper of error was
n presiding genius Of the pretended
quest after truth He had just had
some real truth, scientific truth, thrown
at him. not mockery OF truth con
cocted to aid demagogic politics, but an
immutable law Of human society, the
law Of supply and demand, which ne
artificial agency, not even the United
States Government, can stem or alter
any more than 1t can reverse OF annuI
the procession of the equinoxes.
OF course, Mr.. JOHN Il. LENNON, who
made this precious utterance, did not
really mean to admit that he was max
ing mistake. The mistake was on
the other side and con sisted in beiev
ing that there was any natural law
that he could not override. II truth
came into collision with his theories, Sc
much the worse for truth. As fol
gratit for error. 1t was due only
for such quasi-mistakes az fitted II
with his ideals. In his view the mis-
take of differing from him was the un
pardonable sin.

OF first principles is quite characteristic
of the times. The leader" Of uplift Il

jecting all experience and setting NJ
