CLEANUP DAY FOR MEXICO

General ObregOn insists time limit being fixed on
the American presence in Mexico This he knows will
never be consented to- and it is therefore evident he is
using it merely pTeteX to start trouble 1t is claimed
he is at the outs with CaranZa and desires to be the boss
Mexican Heis an intelligent man, and knows how utter
y hopeless war would be with America hence it fair
TO presume his intellect is working with the reverse
English it. 1t is a Of agree or take the conse
quences and it looks though that was what the Mex
leans are determined to have The situation has gotten be-
yOnd the power of MeXcans to settle for themselves and
it is up to this country to get busy and sraghten affairs
for them If the business Of doing this starts now,
much the better for it is only question Of time and
very short time at that until it will have to be done and
the quicker the better
The raid at Glenn Springs shows that Camanga is
able to control the situation were he willing, and
this seems at least doubtful
On the body of one of the raiders found commits
sion signed by CarranZa and seems highly probable that
gentleman knew of the raid and probably responsible
for it.
Another feature that shows his inabalty and unwi
ngness to do anything to bring peace to his country
the fact that he has attempted to bring about an
election and the establishment of the regular government
He prefers to lead as de acto president than to give up
his position to a regularly chosen president
1t may be claimed that under existing conditions no
election could be held government formed That may
be true but cannot be demonstrated until is tried He
has made no attempt to do this and should he do so it
might lead eventually to the better element getting to-
gether to put an end to the present anarchy.
Carranza will do it, and if there is again to be
a real government in Mexico it will only be after this
country has taken hold and set the government its
feet and then stands back of with the determination to
again intervene just as it has done in Cuba.
The cleanup day is near and ii General Obregon
forces it at he will to certain extent prove true

RESPONSIBILITY FOR UNPREPAREDNESS

The Oregonian contendng that the republican party
must be relied upon to carry out program of national
defense 1t says
GAS the cause Of sound money champoned by Cleve-
land taken up and carried to victory by his opponents
so must the Of National defense with which is
closely bound up the maintenance of American rights in
foreign lands and at sea- be taken up by the united Re-
publican party
This sounds queer when we reflect that after fifty
years of almost unbroken control during which vast sums
were spent upon military establishment have
army to speak of and coast defenses worth while The
experts tells this is So and all the o. p papers like
the Oregonan agree with that view Our navy is in fair
condition, only because Secretary William c. Whitney,
under President Cleveland laid the foundation for
and modern war-machine and got the work well
under way before he retired from office. Really why
should the country expect the republicans to do
work in the way of preparedness for national defense
than Mr. Wilson will do? Nothing in the past record of
the party may be pointed to guarantee of accomplish
ment while the president has a reputation for doing
things He put currency law through in one season.
after the p leaders had talked and schemed in that
direction for years His quick work in showing his tariff
revision trade commission and various other measures
through congress set mark for action that president
ever reached before in the history of the country.
Why not let Mr.. Wilson put through the cOuntry's
preparedness program when he has such clear idea of
national needs and is safe and rational even in the
opinion Of the Oregonian?

As to Peace in Eurone

Salem Ore, May 10, 1916.
Editor Capital Journal: Tn Monday
evening S Journal I read on the first
page in large letters the following
statement; "fPresident Wilson will not
move to bring European peace at this
time The veiled suggestion that he
do so in the German note was not
needed at the white house. 1t was
learned on high authority that acting
on the advice of the American EN-.
bassies in Lonlon and Paris. the ad.
ministratiOn will not make any peace
proposals until the promised great Of
fensive of the allies has been launched.
If the above statement is true then
what should we think of the president s
statement he sends to the central pow
ers once in a while: 8" For humanity
sake!"? If the president can do any
thing at all in bringing about peace
among the waring nations he ongit not
only trv to do something but do all he
can to bring this about and the sooner
the better for humanity sake.

THE MATTER MADE PLAIN

A puzzled woman writes the Capital Journal to give
"a real plain explanation of the Fourth Dimension so
just common folks can understand it." Of course little
riAe like that is dead easy for newspaper man and as
the request comes from lady and Salem lady at that
it perforce must be done While there is some difference
of opinion as to the matter the Capital Journal man
understands it, the Fourth Dimension is the residuum
derived from the inspssation of incOpOea nonenttes
It might be called also the intangible of phanas
magoria lusion or the seeming of the thing unknown
The lady can get practical illustration by sticking her
finger in pan of water and after removing it, close
study of the remaining hole will show to a nicely this
dimension We trust this will make the matter perfectly
clear to the puzzled lady and Justify her faith in the wis
dom of the newspaper fraternity.
