ravenously. and very little was left
for the birds to feast upon. In the
afternoon baseball game was played
between the Junior and Senior girls
teams. The Junior team won. It
being the first defeat of the Senior
girls team since they organized in
cir Freshman year.
After the game, part of the crowd.

Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1916-07-07

The war on which the United
States is about to enter with
Mexico was forced upon US by that
country, That fact is so obvious
as to admit of no rational dispute,
There have been years of insult
and outrage met with forbearance,
and the utmost tolerance has been
shown to chronic disorders.
Even when there had been a
massacre of Americans for the
sole reason that they were Ameri-
'cans, we asked nothing except
that the offenders be punished,
and the request was in vain.
When a night attack had been
made by an armed force across
the border, a town burned and
citizens and soldiers shot, we
asked only to be allowed to capture
the alleged bandits who had
committed the outrage, but in
pursuit Of that endeaver our
troops have been treacnerouslv
slauphtered by the order of the de
facto government.
There is nothing left in dealing
with Mexico but complete sub
iugation Of the country, such as
will leave no possibility Of renewed
disorders there or the manner Of
annoyance it has so long given us.
To this end the land must be
brought under the sovereignty Of
the United States. That is the
only solution Of the problem.
The Mexicans have been given
repeated assurance that the United
States had no lust of conquest and
would not, through wanton force,
annex their territory to its own.
Beyond that this country has
given Mexico protection from
Nreign aggression and used every
95ssible influence, every moral
deayor, to bring it to the estab-
Ament of orderly constitutional
government, but nothing has
awaited to make its people either
trust or respect US, and they have
demonstrated utter incapacity for
self-government. The only solu-
ton Of the Mexican problem is !

LET 1T BE CONQUEST.

American control. Everything
else has been tried without avail,
and that is the only means to in
sure peace and prevent the con-
slant recurrence of such annoy
ances as has troubled us in the
past.
Mexico has been a continued
source of trouble to this country
and a constant menace to our
peace with other lands. Its dis
orders, its insults and outrages
are intolerable, and since it has
forced us to war in order to put it
right no mere palliative for the
evil should be applied, but a
remedy administered that will be
thorough and enduring.
No evil will be done Mexico
should the United States control
it, but on the other hand there is
no sort Of doubt that it would
greatly profit by such change in
its political condition. II Texas
and California had remained parts
Of Mexico they would have had no
development, but in the seventy
years that they have been portions
of the United States they have
experienced wonderful growth, and
the same is true in slightly less
degree Of all the great expanse of
country in the Southwest that
became ours by the treaty of
Gaudaloup-Hid following the I
war with Mexico in 1916.
The Mexican people, especially
the oppressed lower class, would
soon learn so to appreciate Ameri-
can rule that they could not be
induced to go back to the old
condition. The people of Vera
Cruz, though they resisted the
landing Of American marines two
years ago, regretted their de-
parture because of the good order
they kept and the improvements
made in sanitay and other con.
ditions.
Mexico has marvellous natural
riches that should be developed
and conserved and that will never
be possible while the country re-

mains the arbiter of its own
destiny.
During the 300 years that
Mexico was under the rule of
Spanish viceroys it kept quiet.
Its state was one of stagnation in
material respects. There was no
progress, but there was no internal
strife. Authority supported by
military force was respected and
obeyed, The American revolution,
the Eupheaval in France and the
revolt against Spain led by Simon
Bolivar in South America, con-
tributed to produce unrest in
Mexico, and after long struggle
The country in 1924 established its
independence, but with independ-
ence came violent disorders and
this condition has known no con-
tinued cessation except for the
period that Porfirio Diaz ruled,
that again demonstrated,the need
OF a strong hand to keep the
Mexicans quiet.
Diaz kept order in Mexico and
the country fourished materially
under his control. Railroads were
built, mines opened and the oil
resources developed, but Diaz knew
nothing of democracy and the
rich flourish at the expense Of the
poor. There was no progress
other than material, no popular
uplift.
American governmentcould pre-
serve quiet IN Mexico, as the Span
ish viceroys did and as Diaz did,
and it would besides this provide
bene6clent popular government
that would mean the elevation of
the masses.
With the plain fact in view that
the United States cannot tolerate
nor in safety permit Mexican
methods to continue and that the
people Of Mexico would greatly
benefit by being brought under
control, why should the
war that Mexico has forced on us
terminate otherwise than by &C.
complishing the proper result?
When congress declares war,
as it perforce must do, there should
