A uFxIOAN,s REGRETs.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
/ deeply regret that terrible act of
savagism done at Santa Ysabel; and all
honest Mexicans regret 1t, too. We
feel ashamed that such acts are COM
mitted in our country; it is q disgrace
to humanity that such assassins were
born
The American people are very
patient indeed to sitter such outrages
as the one Just committed, but 1 think
it is because most OF the people are
educated and thinking people, and
they see that it is not the blame OF all
lHexicans It is known by every con-
scious citizen that the government Of
the United States is using and has used
a policy contrary to the traditions and
aims OF the natural good hearted
American people
have Just seen Mexican women
weep for sorrow and shame over that
massacre. and I have heard nothing
but words OF condemnation from the
Inns of several educated and honest
Mexicans with whom ] have talked re-
garding the affair. / never dreamed
of such things in Mexico; still we have
savages in the 10th century.
I think several must be blamed for
this massacre besides Villa and his fol-
lowers. Carranza has big share Of
blame; the Carrancista chiefs, Trevino
and Obregcn. and many other CON-
handing officers are to be blamed. too,
for being so apathetic in the discharge
Of their duties. They all waste precious
time in useless trips and banquets. and
leaving the affairs OF vital Importance
10 the last. But there is still some
todv else to be blamed with the big
eest share Of responsibility, and that
is nresident Wilson. I don't care to
know to what causes II IS due, But his
policv toward Mexico has not been
honest since the beginning That IS
the truth; he may have been misled or
he might have his projects in mind
If he has been nlisied II makes no diff
ference anyhow, because ne should be
well acquainted with analrs OF suca
trauscendentaI Importance. II IS his
duty. He has committed acts OF great
Injustice toward my country he mas
contributed in n very large scale 10
bring about the present state OF
anarchy. and he is to be blamed iron
nv point Of view to great extent,
for the present assassinations and Tor
thousands OF other crimes committed
on many other innocent victims; he
has ALWAYS taken sides in the political
strife of Mexico, he has always helped
one of the contesting parties and he
has ALWAYS chosen the more worthless
leaders. He even chose vita tne worst
OF all criminals in the WhoIe NOrlu'
an one time That is shame.
President Wilson has used MS power
full influence in the wrong way IN
stead of Interfering in the purely ma
floral business Of Mexico, he should
have used his influence IN sales 1aEo-
