JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.

The death OF James Whitcomb Riley
removes the sweetest and most typi-
cally American singer. Riley came
from the great west. He was Ameri-
can born, American trained and edu.
Gated. His spirit was the spirit Of ne
people among whom he lived, and his
poetry told of their daily life. AS
Mark Twain was the great American
novelist, so Riley was the great Amer
lean poet. AS the stories and quaint
humor Of one revealed the inner-life
and the inner-thought Of the masses
OF the American people, so the poems
Of the other reflected the laughter, the
hopes, the dreams of the sturdy Ameri-
canism Of the west Critics of kind
may not class Riley among the worlds
greatest poets, but for generations his
songs will be read and laughed over
and cried over BY millions of real
people.

FOR WORK IN MEXICO.

Nothing seems 10 be clearer tEan
that the United States must sooner Or
later assume the responsibility OF
Mexico and bring about the restoration
OF order.
In all probability the European war
is the only thing that has prevented
sharp demand upon US BY foreign
countries long before this. Germany
and Great Britain are not accustomed
to allow their property to be destroyed
and their citizens to be murdered,
without vigorous protest. With far
less provocation they have at other
times been insistent upon summary
action. For over three years we have
allowed condition Of anarchy to exist
at our very door. We have interfered
only to make it worse.
We used our influence to destroy the
only stable government in Mexico. We
furnished arms to and gave recognition
to a bandit, murderer, and ravisher
of women, and finally equipped him
with weapons with which to kill our
own people. We have invaded Mexico
with loud demands for a salute 10 the
American flag, and after wasting the
lives of our soldiers have retrqhted
incloriously without securing a salute.
We have seen American business men,
the finest types Of our citizenship,
murdered in cold blood, while quietly
going about their own affairs in Mex
ico., We have seen our own territory
invaded, American. homes burned, and
American men and women killed. We
have invaded Mexico, proclaiming our
slogan, villa dead or alive" and aow
after a few weeks our forces are
stopped and are beginning to with
draw without Villa either dead or alive.
Our whole course has been such as to
make us objects Of ridicule and con-
tempt. No dirty greaser can fail 10
believe that he can insult American
