WYE are hearing great deal Just now OF the "e1-
VV ploiters Of Mexico" term which, it seems, is
being applied generally to Americans and other
foreigners who have invested their money time and labor
in the southern republic President Wilson, in discuss
ing Mexican affairs, has taken occasion to refer ne
ouentIy to the "expIoiters" declaring in his Detroit
speech he would not aid those who would exploit
Mexico.
In so doing the president implies that all exploitation
Is had and thereby casts odous reflection upon all
Americans good and bad alike, who have invested IN
Mexico His announcement indicates the president Is
unwilling to assist those conscientious Americans who
in all good faith and all fair dealing have contributed
so largely to the upbuding of Mexico Just as he IS IN
willing to protect another class of expoiters, the para
site concession hunting bbng class There are both
classes of Americans with Mexican investments, Just as
there are two kinds of exploitation benevolent and
vicious The president in his public addresses, however,
is prone to difeTenate if IN truth he recognizes
auy difference His utterances might be assumed TO
cal opponents who say the presidents attitude means:
HIf Won 20 into Mexico you go your peril; your
government and your flag not awaiting for your
protection"
Probably the president would not subscribe to such
an Interpretation Of his beliefs though Mexcans have
taken it for granted many of our citizens who have
sought protection under British and German flags ID
times of danger testify.
1t is not that the millions of dollars OF Amer1-
can capital invested in Mexico have, IN the man, IN
ured Mexico. On the contrary in the main, they have
tremendously benefited Mexico, both government and
people causing towns to be built where there were no
towns and furnishing employment to many thousands
of Mexcans who needed employment

~HE dog days are q period which
is given to the human race every
= summer in order that man may
have a foretaste of what is in store
for the sinner This period continues
for 40 days and nights, starting with
July 3 and ending with August II, by
which time everybody is reduced to
repentance and the wearing of sheer
tissue underclothes.
The annual visitation of the dog
days is due entirely TO the action Of
Sirius, the dog star, which encourages
the sun TO produce more heat than al
any other time Of the year. If there
were some way to suppress SIRIUS by
act of congress and prevent him from
melting the sun to murder, more peo-
pie would remain at home during July
and August. instead of canterinS of
TO some $50 a day summer resort and
idling away precious hours which
could be used in canning fruit There
probably is some good reason why
Sirius should be allowed to bob up
during the touring season and destroy
the happiness and inner tubes of in
offensive people, but science has never
discovered what il is.

the loans could be made through the

their financial embarrassment The

The dog days furnish an excellent
excuse for the tired business man to
leave home and recuperate in some
lonely spot. far from woman, where
he can fish in solitude and not be
interrupted by dressmakers' bills. On
this account there are some women
who would prefer 10 have the dog DAYS

reducing dish washing TO a minimum.

is TO come north in the summer to

duty of the government to put the flag OF the United
States behind investors IN Mexico.
president Wilson declared in his Detroit speech that
he would not stand for that principle and that he would
become the collection agency of investors in Mexico
"The American people, if issue is made between
the Republican candidate and Mr. Wilson on that propo
siton will stand overwhelmingly by the president"
This whole attitude, shown IN the quotations
above IS wrong exceedingly wrong 1t is not necessary
to consider the United States collecting agent for
American investors in Mexico any more than in Ger
many or in England The fact stands that it is
right to condemn American investors in Mexico as a
class and throw outside the pale of the respectful
consideration of their government than to apply the
same treatment to American investors In Canada or
Argentina
