4 Nearly two months ago, DR.. John

conditions in Mexico.
He had just returned from that coun-
Try, where he had gone to make thor
ough investigation of the revolution.
= He said that unless the United States
Withdrew its troops in the near future,
war with Carranza was inevitable.
We now appear to be on the threshold
Of that war.
We are told that the government has
been pleaded with to bring our men back
INTO our own land and that the answer
has been mot before November"

That this was a pre-arranged plan TO
bring Americans into Mexico there is
much reason to suppose.
That it was known TO American capt.
talists in Mexico, those who know most
about Mexican affairs believe.
The newspaper men of the Hearst pa
pers were near the spot, several days be-
fore the raid occurred.

sionaires, who kept Diaz firmly seated
through many long years and who clam

Huerta, can now be benefited by an

Carranza may be a scoundrel CDR.
Slaughter says noD, but he has institut-

The concessionaires have been ham,

Under the new Carranza system, cleo

That will never do.
The Mexican people might become pos

Say 1t To His Face
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915, by Frank Crane)


1t is mighty good rule to say of any
man behind his back only what you
would say to his face.
Most of the exaggerated abuse the I'M
just criticism, and the hostile denuncia-
ton in this world is due to the fact
that the victim is not present.
The trouble with undertaking is that
the muckraker is talking to a third
party, the public, while the party of the
second part, the accused, is out Of hear
ing.
always have felt an uneasy feeling
when reading diatribes against Rockefel-
Ter, Carnegie, ct al. /; not that these gen.
tlemen need my sympathy and are not
amply fortified by fortune against the
whips of the envious, but that instinct
lively rebel on principle against hanging
any man unless he is among those pres
ent.
There may be times when you are
convinced that Jones needs his face
slapped and Smith ought to be kicked,
and perhaps These punishments ought Of
right to be inflicted, but it is good plan
to wait until Jones and Smith are there.
Preachers and lecturers say things of
worldlings they would not think of say
ing to the face of any given sinner.
Newspapers sometimes abuse their great
power by attacking those who cannot
reply.
We would save a deal of wrong in this
world if we would simply be just
And we would avoid deal of injus-
tice if we would keep always in mind
that every man may have some justif-
cation for his acts, and ought to be al
lowed to state it before he is condemned.
Sharp and bitter words, Favored with
scandal, have terrific carrying quality.
They are easily remembered. They are
willingly repeated Escaped from your
lips or pen they fly to the ends of the
more than you can recapture the spent
stenches Of a glue factory SO be care
full how you utter them.
Besides, the fatal facility for saying
hateful things grows on one. The cursor
is always interesting no matter how we
oathe him. He gets ready audience.
And it is not long until he is the best
hated man in the community
When you are prompted to say any,
thing unpleasant about anybody, stop,
look, listen" Ask yourself if it is ex-
actly the thing you would want to say
to his face.
You might ask yourself also if it is
any Of your business And if you are the
proper Judge Of his actions Also if you
really understand what you condemn,
and if you know all about the circum-
stances.
1t costs nothing TO hold your tongue.
And sometimes it is the most excellent
thing you can do.
If you must say II, say it to his face.
