President Wilson's address to the mem
bers of the New York Press Club on Friday
night possibly may have pleased those who
heard him In New York, but 1t did not create
any enthusiasm among the Americans In
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, who have
been suifering for five years from Mexican
aepradatipne and who expect to continue to
spAer from them until the United States OF
same other hatloh intergenea in Mexico and
established q Responsible government
Adverse comment on the Presidents lat
est ptteFance on Mexicans affairs was heard
ell over El Paeo yesterday, The tenor OF the
comments was to the effect that the presi-
dent had again shown his lack OF knowledge
of MeXicans and Mexican affairs and that he
had gone far out Of his way to offend those
who bellows that Intervention Is the only
possible solution by referring to them as
those who wish to enhance their Mexican
Investments IasG
Murder at Hachita
Last week a splendid young couple were
murdered at their ranch near Hachita by
Mexicans who are said to be Carrancista sol
diers, said an Eel Paso citizen yesterday.
Were they trying to enhance any Mexican
Investments while peacefully at work ten
miles north OF the Mexican boundary line
To-day Mexican raiders crossed the
boundary line near Fort Hancock and drove
on a lot Of CATTLE he continued. seThe only
reason they did not murder the unsuspucting
owner probably was because he did not
cross Il VII path. They would have killed an
unarmed American as Quickly as they stole
the cattle.
Were the people at Columbus trying to-
enhance Mexican Investments when they
We're murdered? Were the soldiers at Glenn
Springs engaged in a selfish commercial en-
terprise when they were raided and murder
cd by a big mixed gam of Carrancista sol
|diers and bandits? Is everybody along the
border interested In the exploitation OF Mex
leo? DO they all hold Mexican investments
which they would like to see enhance
through Intervention?
sAny person who believes such pihle is a
candidate for q padded cell. All such talk
is nonsense. Not one person In every hun
dred living along the border is interested in
of the people here sell nothing to Mexico
and they buy nothing from that country.
There are thousands of ranchmen along the
border who have always lived in daily dread
that they and their families will be murder
ed by Mexicans. All of these people know
MeSicans and Mexico. They know that the
Mexican trouble will never be stopped until
the Uni.ed States intervenes and does what
this country did for Cuba and the Philip
pines, what It is now doing for Hayti, Santo
Domingo, and Nicaragua. They know that
Mexico has been In practically constant tur-
mol since the days Of Cortez and they know
that ultimately some stable country will be
forced to stabilize Mexico. Can you blame
them for declaring that the United States
ought to do ii now?
Undoubtedly President Wilson thinks he
is doing the big, noble thing In talking the
way he does about the Mexican issue. He
doubtless thinks that because the Mexicans
of all Factions are now flocking together q
fine thing is being accomplished for Mexico.
He does not realize that this flocking spells
hatred for the United States instead Of love
for Carranza. He does not realize that soon.
er or later all these VilIistas, C~arrancistas,
0robocoistas, zapatistas, etc, etc, will begin
among themselves and that the peo-
pie along the border will continue to suffer.
The president does not realize that the Mex,
hate Americans with an undying hat
red and that many of them live their lives
an opportunity to kill Americans
hat all of them consider Texas, New Mex
leo, Arizona and California Mexican terri
.ory which is temporarily under the flag of
he United States. He does not realize that
n making these antiinteryeBtion talks he
IS giving comfort to the Mexicans, which
hey will abuse later on.
