Why Not Give Carranza
A Chance; and, Meantime,
Keep Out of Mexico?

There is an American citizen over in
Chicago whom Villa did not get a
chance to shoot
This American citizen was in Mexico
last October, working in a mine, when
he was notified of instructions from the
state department in Washington, that
Americans leave Immediately for the
United States.
He complied.
The Detroit times., 1916-01-14

Here's the idea
Every red-blooded man in this country
knows what ought TO happen 70 Villa,
BANDIT. DESPERATE BUTCHER,
but at alb times INDIVIDUAL i'm his re-
lation 10 thi, country.
If this crime is his. the United States
can be satisfied i'm no other way than BY
HIS PUNISHMENT TO THE LIMIT OF
MEXICAN LAW
The state department has already
called upon Carranza TO see that Villa
gets it.
Should it transpire that Carranza cam
not cope with the situation TO the extent
of meeting our requirements then it viii
be time and more in order and more
JUST to brand him as incompetent and
let the administration stand the conse-
quences.
But even should he be able to cope
with the situation, the Mexican problem
will not have been settled.
Mexico's troubles date from the time
of the country's invasion by foreign capi-
tai for the purpose of exploiting her
and her people, and they will
not have been terminated until those eX-
ploiters have been forced of Mexican
soil and the LAND has been cleared OF
them.
Mexico's troubles viii not have been
terminated until the land is made to
yield for Mexicans, when the people are
free TO govern themselves. without a
GREEDY INTEREST FROM OUT
SIDE in their government.
The Mexican question remains still
one Of LAND.

in the Detroit newspapers about a boy
who was drowned while skating.
The boy had been warned that the ice
was very thin, but he went skating on
it, just the same
1t gave in and the boy perished before
help reached him.
Others had shown better judgment
and remained off the ice, so there was
no one near to aid him.
Word came from Mexico day or two
ago that is Americans had been taken
from train, stripped, stood up and shot
TO death.
This outrage, however, was not per-
petrated by the Mexican government
nor was it participated in by any of the
country's best citizens.
We have an idea there are citizens of
Mexico, the same as there are citizens
Of the United States and other countries,
who are sober-going, industrious, God
fearing and home-loving and who are
capable of looking upon an atrocity such
as the shooting down of 16 innocent men
in cold blood with a fitting sense of hor-
ror and with fitting regret for the acts
Of their countrymen.
This killing was the act of ONE
MAN; an INDIVIDUAL; black-hearted
desperate who is at large in Mexico
But
Have you noticed the way they are
carrying on down in Washington, those
senator's and congressman who look up
on this as the time of times to make poll
tical capital out of Mexico? (They indi-
cate to us that they may regard this as
their last opportunity.

they are yelling at President Wilson.

Rep. Sherman, Illinois, have both been

What do they mean, what are you GO
ing to do about Mexico?"
What has MEXICO done?

We don't believe that he is.
The state department doesn't think
that he is, anyhow.
The state department looks upon him

all as desperate and irresponsible as he,
and has warned everybody that that
part of Mexico where Villa and his fol-
lowers are plundering, burning and kill
ing is danger zone for outsiders.
But these Republicans in Washing
ton, and few newspapers whose own.
crs have railroad or cattle interests Of
some other kind of interests in Mexico,
cannot see it any other way than that
Z CARRANZA is responsible for what
VILLA has done.

neer, sent a communication to the
Levy Court today. directing the
bridge tenders to be careful in oper-
ating the river front bridge. Mr..
Greiner asked that the court instruct
the tenders TO examine the bridge

house be cleaned. In case of snow
or other materials being on the
bridge, he said IL should be cleaned

falling into the operating pit Mr.
Greiner also suggested that the bridge
be operated at least three times a day
and night during wet weather, i'm ad-
dition to the operations made neces-
sary by river traffic. in order that the
elements may not affect the machin-
cry of the bridge.
Special instructions are given to the
