INTERVENTION AT HAND.

Sioux City Journal: President
Wilson's decision to use the full
strength of the militia on the Next
can border involves a practical APP
plication of the preparedness princi-
pie. The administration aggressive
policy may or may not eliminate in
complete Intervention. 1t probably
will. The decision rests with the
Mexicans. There is so little central
lied power in Mexico that no one can
say positively what they will do. Ev-
cry index points to trouble between
the Mexicans and the American mill
itary expedition now in Mexico, rs
well as to continuation of the raids
of irresponsible bandits across the
border. Either development must
mean Intervention by the United
States.
Gen. Carranza recently demanded
that the United States withdraw the
troops sent into Mexico for punitive
purposes after the Villa raid on CO.
lumbus. At the time the troops went
in Gen. Carranza was assured that
they would be withdrawn as soon as
their punitive purpose had been ac-
complished. Since that time the con-
tinuance of lawlessness near the bor-
der has caused the administration to
decide to leave the troops in Mexico.
Although a formal reply to this eff
feet has not been sent to Gen. Car
rama, he received it in substance in
the democratic platform adopted at
st. Louis the other day. The Mex
lean plank of the st. Louis platform
was written by President Wilson. 1t

PRoGREssIvEs FOR HUGHES.

PROGRESSIVES FOR HUGHES.
Register and Leader: The declar-
alton for Hughes by Charles Sumner
Bird, so conspicuously identified
with the bull moose movement, in
Massachusetts, undoubtedly fore
casts the decision of the bull moose
leaders the country over, for they
are all of republican antecedents and
lin this emergency their leanings are
decidedly republican.
Mr.. Bird recalls that five months
ago he declared publicly that either
Roosevelt or Hughes was the logical
candidates, and he named Hughes
first. He now says:
81 stand in this national election
as I stood last November in the
state election-in favor of the ANAL
gamation of republicans and progress
sives upon liberal platform and for
! a progressive candidate. I, and the
newspapers which I.control, the Bos-
ton Advertiser and the Boston Eve

stantially, for the principles fol-
which we have worked. hope, and

Republicans of Massachusetts, will
bury their hatchets and work, sin
gle-mindedly, to defeat this demo
cratic administration which, as SET
it, is a menace to business prosper.
ity, industrial efficiency and ade'
quate military preparedness.
Nobody who has noted the tone
of the eastern newspapers can doubt
that Hughes is going to be tremen-
dously strong with the progressive
wing of the party, at the same time
that he is accepted by the stalwarts
as one of them.

An attempt Immediately to pay
National Guardsmen on the Mexican
border $50 a month was defeated to-
day after a bitter debate in which
it was charged the proposal would
make mercenaries of militiamen.-
Washington Special.
1t must be broad vision that can
see in a proposition to pay men who
ordinarily receive from $50 to 500
per month in peaceful pursuits the
greed of mercenary in accepting
$50 month for service in the army.
Possibly the fact that members of
congress get 1925 a month, when
some of them are not worth. one
tenth that amount, is responsible for
$50 many mercenaries being in con-
gress; for so many men being there
who are willing to serve special priv
ilege to perpetuate themselves in Of
fee. Whether it is wise or not to
pay militiamen $50 per month may
be open to debate, but it is an insult
to every volunteer soldier to say
that he would be made mercenary
by stipend of $50 per month.

That is what we call rot. A mans

months has been preaching that the
paramount issue before the people is
the retiracy of the present demo-
cratic administration. He knew that
his acceptance of the progressive
nomination for president would not
contribute to that result, hence he
choose to stand by his country in
stead of by his party. When ones
loyalty to friends forestalls his 10y

part company with the friends. All
men are not big enough to do that,
but Roosevelt is. 1t is likely the ed

appreciate such a course.
