MEXICO'S RESPONSIBILITY

= Mexico has a provisional govern
ment. Carranza is the de facto
president of the republic, but martial
law, not civil, obtains throughout the
larger portion of the country. In a
large measure martial law as inter-
preted by the ~"greasers" is vindic-
tiveness which is always resented.
With the people thus constantly
stirred up almost to the point of
another revolution, Mexico's respon-
sibility is measured by Carranza's
ability to redeem pledges. Carranza
is not redeeming many of them.
Since the United States recognized
Carranza as the de facto president
of Mexico he has obtained guns,
ammunition and supplies, and valu-
able financial assistance. He needed
these to establish authority, but it
now seems that he is more or less
influenced by subordinates who have
axes of their own to grind. His con-
troll over his officers is not at all
military. Therefore, the time seems
to be fast approaching when Carranza
will find it necessary to convene the
Mexican congress to obtain needed
assistance toward making Mexico {
responsible nation.

This has been true both as to pre-
%paredness and as to our relations
with Mexico, the two themes he is
to dwell upon in the swing around
the circle.
The president has made but one
notable speech in which he sought to
deal with concrete facts. At Indian
apolis he abandoned his ipse dixit
style and tried to argue after the
manner of practical men. The joy
with which the republican papers
seized upon his unfortunate utter
ances should have warned him not
to repeat the experiment. He must
argue to be effective in his proposed
campaign. By using his prestige, the
president has greatly influenced opin-
ion, especially that of the democratic
side of Congress, in favor of prepar-
edness. But he did not accomplish it
by his message. Mr.. Bryan, who is
skilled in debate, tore his arguments
to tatters. The presidential assur-
ance that there was not even a re-
mote possibility of the country being
dragged into a war made it easy
for men who occupy the position the
president did in his pacifist message
of December 8, 1914, to deny the
need of enlargement of the army
and navy. We trust that the pres;-
dent may be able to undo the ef-
feet Of his 1914 message and also
that he may be able to prove that our
variable Mexican policy has been
national and consistent with our OBJ
legations.

The democrats are going to hold an
achievement banquet at Fargo on
Washington's birthday, February
22nd. The object of the banquet is
to bring into closer relationship the
democrats of the state and try
and stimulate a greater interest in
the principle and policies advocated
by the party. The Fargo gathering
is expected to be one of the biggest
affairs that the democrats of the
state have ever attempted. John
Brugger says that as this is leap
