Everybody has heard the

Is not yet run, it is easy to

The men and women who
have already started their

IS easy to war on a faction but
serious business to war on a
united people. Not yet is Mexi-
co for war and never has Presi-
dent Wilson been for it. Time
is needed for two developments
"a crystalIz,ng Of Mexican SEN
tlment and the preparation of an
adequate American army. Pom
pey once told the Roman Sen
ate that he had to but stamp his
foot and call into being an army
that would crush Caesar. Time
came when he was told to stamp.
He stamped both feet but could
not gather together an army ade-
Quate to the task of putting
Caesar down. We have Just
such Roman senators as Pom
pey. lhey are mostly IN editor
ial chairs. They told how easy
it was to recruit Continental
army, but advertisements in
their own papers showed that
Americans wont recruit until
America is attacked. Millions
for defense-a handful for war
of conquest. Thinking now that
America is to be attacked the
youth of the nation is ready to
march to the nations defense.
G m m a nder-in-c chief Woodrow
Wilson needed that development
of ugliness on the other side of
the border before he could see
an army equal TO the task of
successful invasion of a country
almost as large as the United
States in acres and having fifteen
millions of people of Indian and
Spanish blood.
The Arvada enterprise., 1916-06-29

Again President Wilson has
won a great victory with foun-
tam pen in securing the release
of our soldiers from the Mexican
prison. Writing fluid is much
cheaper than war equipment or
human blood and Mr.. Wilson
certainly is an economist in the
two latter commodities, much to
the satisfaction of the American
people as a whole. Of course
such victories are odious to Mr..
Wilson's political adversaries
and especially to Charles and
Teddy. Such examples of in
efficiency and weakness" are
indeed very disturbing to them.
They haven't had time to catch
their breath as yet, but when
they do it is dollars to a tin
nickle that we will find that Mr..
Wilson has sacrificed another
big slice of honor and we will be
told how if Mr.. Wilson had
only done it the way | did it in
the Alaskan boundary case" or,
as | hypnotised lions in Africa"
it would have saved the nations
honor. Sutiiceth to say, how
ever, the Mexican government
respected this govern ment
enough 70 grant its demands
when it was given its choice of
granting them or fighting. But
now, we again hear a roar from
the strenuous one-''It should
have been done three years
ago. Well, possibly, but how
about our "prepiredness?' Mr..
Roosevelt in four years spent
$500, GAO, 262. %, for our army
and navy, Mr.. Taft spent in
four years S52l, S54, S13. 80 for
the same purpose and Mr.. Wilson
in three years has spent 1894,
400, S3G. %. We arise to inquire
when did Theodore's enthusiasm
for preparedness" begin, be-
fore or after?

detrimental to the best interests
of the town. If as is claimed
Oberon has a spring of such i'm
portance should it not be worth
at least a casual interest by the
people of Arvada? The Idaho
Springs Medical Company is
mailing out thousands of circu-
lars over the United States and
in those circulars appears the
name of Arvada as an objective
point relative to the springs.
This fact, if for no other reason
should entitle the promoters of
this enterprise to a respectful
hearing. If there is ground for
skepticism as to the analysis of
these waters there is an oppor-
tunity for that skepticism to be
removed. If it is removed. then
according to the best medical
authorities there is every reason
to believe that these waters fur
nish the nucleus for an institu-
ton that in time would mean
much to Arvada and vicinity.
Surely we should not be averse
to anything that would tend to
bring more people to our town
or that would help in any way.
If we cannot give it financial
support we can do no less than
give it our moral support. Mind
you, the Enterprise does not say
that there is no room for doubt,
but 1t does say that if that doubt
can be removed there is every
reason for believing that it can
be made a success. All we ask
is that we find out Just what
there is to it.

Woodrow Wilson did not send
American soldiers to Mexico to
be slaughtered in ambush. He
did not fight because someone
had his thumb on his nose. He
waited and is waiting to see
what MeXico's intentions are.
He did not enact the role of a
bully or a fool. He had Vera
Cruz in his hands and the City
of Mexico at his mercy. We can
take them both next week. 1t

laying politics aside and enter
ing into the true spirit of Amer
icanism? Is it possible that
they would jeopardize our ma
tional integrity by specializing
upon the political effect of war
with Mexico? Do they not real
iZe that every utterance which
can be construed as a criticism
upon the administration only
Weakens the cause Of American
ism and gives the lie to all of
oar boasted claims of patriotism
At a time like this all politics
should be laid aside and the en-
envy should be given to under
stand that there are no traitor
Gus hearts who would be guilty
of sacrificing our country's hon
or upon the altar of partisanship
or political preferment. If. as
these partisans would have US
believe, the Mexican situation,
regardless of what the outcome,
means defeat for Wilson. they
must at least give President
Wilson credit with having a de-
gree of patriotism that is willing
to make that sacrifice upon the
principles that he believes to be
right. Remember that thru it
all you have yet to hear one COM
planning word from Mr.. Wilson.
He realizes, evidently, that up
on him rests the responsibility of
this government to humanity
and to other nations and he is
acting according to his best
judgment regardless of what eff
feet it may have upon his poiti-
cal future. He realizes that
many criticisms are being made
for political effect, but he is not
even attempting to justify his
acts to offset the storm of abuse
coming from his opponents.
Mr.. Wilson is too big IA man and
is too busy with international
affairs with which he alone is
the most familiar, to listen to
the PACK of cheap politicians now
swapping at his heels. The sage
of the supreme bench will have
to offer something more than
criticism to the American people
before they turn from Mr.. VIII
son to him as a safe pilot of the
ship of state.

| REYBER COLORADO EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION

Ex-President William II. Taft
is the one Republican Of promin-
ence who has not allowed him
self to be stampeded by Roose-
velt's war dance or Mr..
Hughes attempt to WELD the
'scalping knife" on his adver-
sary, Woodrow Wilson. Mr..
Taft is a Republican-and al
ways has been Republican,
but he is also a man Of dignity,
who would not stoop to the level
of the cheap politician even to
get his party back into power.
Mr.. Taft's experience as govern
or of the Philippines and later
as president of the United States
have given him a breadth of un-
derstanding which is useful to
him in sizing up the Mexican sit
uation. He says he does not
want to see war with Mexico
unless the honor of our nation
depends upon it, as it means the
sacrifice of the lives Of the flow
er of American manhood. That
it will mean the occupation of
every Important city in Mexico
and a prolonged and hazardous
warfare with bandits in the
mountains, much the same as
was experienced in the Phillip
pines. He says our difficulties
with Mexico have ariZen largely
thru mistakes, but in his opinion
the greatest mistake on our part
has been unpreparedness. lnas.
much as Mr.. Taft was the last
president preceding President
Wilson and preparedness could
not be expected to be brought
about in three years, this is in
deed very honest and frank
admission from the Republican
side of the fence. and it comes,
too, from a very conservative
and highly respected American
citizen and statesman, who is
not allowing his partisanship to
deter him from giving an un-
biased opinion.

Loyalty To The President
In Time OF War

80 ~ W al
Although we have nothing to
retract in our former criticisms
of President Wilson as to his
Mexican policy, yet should war
result from the the present crisis,
it is the duty of all good Ameri-
cans and citizens to give their
earnest and loyal support to our
chief executive. War could, and
should have been averted with
our sister republic south of the
Rio Grande, but should an armed
conflict come, let Americanism
for the time being stand supreme
over partisanship. At such a
time apprehension should not
be encouraged. Loyalty to the
flag and our country does not de-
pend merely upon the politics of
the President. No matter as to
how we may differ as to causes
that have led to the present con-
dition in Mexico, and the means
that might have been used to
prevent the same, the President
should be upheld by the solid
support of the American people
in time of war.
