OUR MEyICAl POLICY
BASED ON HUMANITY
How the President Has Upheld
a Small Nations Right to
Control Its Affairs.
RESISTED WAR PRESSURE
Determined That Americas Sister He-
public Shall Be Permitted to WORK
Out Its Problem Of Freedom
and SeIf-Government

"president Wilson's faith In demo-
cracy. and the unselfshness Oh tne
United States in international aeal-
ings. have been strikingly expresseu
in his Mexican policy.
1.-THE Presidents demand for mexico
ls-Justlce."
The larger phases of the relations
of The United States with Mexico
during President Wilson'S Admins
@ration as well as an interesting ana
complete narrative Of events are pre-
sented authoritatively in the Mexican
chapter Of the Democratic Nauonal
Text Book, from which these quota
tons are made:
1.-TWO considerations have animated
the President in the formulation OF
his Mexican policy and have compelled
his adherence to 1t throughout his Ad-
ministration, namely:
"The firm conviction that all ma
lions, both the weak and the power.
full, have the lnvloIabIe right to control
their Internal affairs.
mThe belief, established upon tho
history of the world, that Mexico VIII
never become a peaceful and laW-aoid-
Inc nelehbor Of the United States un-
til she has been permitted to achieve
a permanent and basic settlement OF
her troubles without outside Interior
ence..
1.-THE Mexican problem In its pres
emf form has existed for the American
Government ever since our frontier
was extended to the Rio Grande. When
the people maintained the peace 1t was
because they were forced to do so, and
not because justice reigned in the
land. Thus II was that the history
Of Mexico, like the history OF every
aspiring people, pressed upon Presi-
dent Wilson's consideration the truth
that no permanent good relations
could exist between this great North
ern Republic and the one Immediate
" South Of us until she had been left
free to put her house in order, how
ever painful that process might De
and whatever the demands It might
make upon the forbearance Of the
United States"
"There was a powerful pressure for
war-a terrible war-by WelI-armed
powerful nation against an unarmed,
bankrupt people exhausted by five
years of civil strife, but who still re-
tanned enough Of patriotic feeling to
unity them against an invader. It
was the old, old question whether the
United States should impose a peace
on Mexico; whether, for the sake OF
the interests Of a few of It's citizens,
It should permanently suppress Next
cos upreaching toward freedom and
self-government."

The Morning Coffee.

The morning coffee brings de-
light to workingmen and men
with titles: it soothes their hearts,
restores their might and warns
again their faded vitals. | often
rise at break OF day, to find the
prospects badly bore me, and to
my Billiken ! say, Il dread the
work that is before me. | don t
feel equal to the strain of writing
bughouse rhymes and stories
Thus do | murmur and complain.
while combing out my morning
glories. But when I've drunk
about pail OF Mocha, intermixed
with ava. no longer do | rant
and wall that LIES dismal
Balaklava, The tasks that scared
me now look good: no more my
fearful spirit crieth: | do not need
to knock on wood. and I'm as
husky as Goliath. The old-time
poets fondly dwell on wine as
bringing Joy and laughter; but
coffee warns YOU ust as we'll, and
no remorse will follow after. The
good dark drink will cheer your
life and make you filter for Your
labors, and you won't want to
beat your wife or prance around
and lick the neishbors.

other things which are desired.
