THE MEXICAN PROBLEM
EDITOR ARDMOREITE:

Ed IOlt ARDMOltEl r.
In common with all your readers
| / have been both Interested and
pleased with your editorials on the
Mexican situation. The scream Of
the eagle is music to American ears,
and little patriotic fervor is heath
ful for the national spirit
But | am afraid the patriotic Amer
lean does not every time look on both
sides of a question 1t is fortunate
for us that this matter is in the hands
Of men who are not only in possession
OF all the facts. but are sobered and
cautioned by their sense of respon-
sibilty
We feel some times like we would
ike to go down there and clean out
the whole greaser outfit, and we are
ready to believe every wild story that
IS told Of outrages against our cit
liens.
But if we will examine everything
carefully and calmly, we will find that
there has been no want of duty on
the part of those who control the
course of our government, and no out
RACES that are not of "A personal ma
turc, such as can be settled without
international complications. No doubt
several Americans have been outrag-
ed, and some have been killed, but
none of these things can be tortured
into cause for war. They are or
such characters as other nations set
tie without a resort to arms. When
an American citizen is robbed, muir
dered or otherwise maltreated in an
other country the utmost our govern
mcnt can do, unless the wrong was
committed by the government of that
country, is to demand that the per
petrators of the outrage be dealt with
according to the laws of that country.
From this standpoint there has been
only one incident in Mexico that call
ed for drastic action on the part of
our government The insult to the
flag by some of Huerta's soldiers at
rampico. was something that demand
ed quick action, and our government
did not long delay a fleet of war

and land force was also placed there,
and We kept Vera Cruz for many
months until the bandit who had per
mitted the insult was driven from pow

Injuries inflicted upon citizens Of
one nation by individuals of another
nation are always dealt with by the
government Of the country where the
outrage is committed, and are not con
sidered cause for war, unless the gov

COUNTY COURT

Madill, Okla, March 1S.-The board
Of county commissioners of Marshall
county received the new $4,000 court
house from the contractors Wednes-
day. The building is a three-story

After the majority of the voters of
the county had decided in favor OF
the court house, the matter was ap-
pealed to the state supreme court
where it was finally favorably adjud'-
Gated. One of the last opinions hand
ed down by Judge Stillwell Russell of
the state supreme bench before his
death, was the opinion that the cleo

VOLUME OF LEGISLATION.

It has been said that the pendulum
of public thought moves from one
extreme to the other Whetncr tnat
is true or not, We know that an ca
treme in volume of legislation is
reached at this time. Former Pres
Sdent William Howard Taft who
keeps his hand pretty well on the
public pulse, stated this week in a
speech that Go, 900 different laws have
been enacted in the pasl five yeors.
Congress has yielded to the public
demand for legislation. The public

and every imagined evil by means
of legislation Men have ceased 20
look to themselves, to their own in
telligence, to solve their problems
The country Is full of agitators. Ey-
cry industry, it seems, is requiring
legislation. We have so many laws
that no person can keep up with the
mill and tell what has been turned
out
There is just one hopeful sign on
the horizon. Nearly all of the legis-
latures of the different states are in
session this winter and out Of hat
number it is claimed that INT five
have gone to radical extremes in
legislation.
When the farmer was selling what

prices became high there was de

Every man you meet is looking
for a remedy to correct some evil
In seeking a remedy he goes TO his
legislature or resorts to the initia-
tive. In national arairs he is pound -

they do not believe are right. They
are Of the opinion that if they do
not yield TO popular demands, that
they will be replaced by man who
will
We need to be protected from our
selves. That protection lies within
ourselves. 1t lies in contentment It
lies in ceasing to look to the govern
ment for everything We imagine we
need to complete our happiness. We
need to realize that the government
has only what the people give it. 1t
produces nothing. 1t merely spends
what it collects from the people.
Cities are not making the rapid
growth they made few years ago.
Big enterprises are not being pushed.
Men of wealth do not know which
way to turn; they fear confscation
by radical legislation
II is doubtful if these tides in hu-
man affairs can be stopped, but they
can be checked to some degree by
public men and by the press. We
must look to ourselves more, and TO
legislation less.
