WIZ do the MexIeans lac us?

WHY do the MeXicans hate us?
Primarily and fundamentally BE
CAUSE they are Spanish-lndian,
while we are Anglo-SaXon. Our char
acteristics are profoundly different.
Our ways OF looking at things are diff
ferent. WE DESPISE THE MEXI-
CANS. because they differ from us;
THEY HATE Us because we differ
from them.
We have sent them quantities Of
adventurers who have gone there TO
SHOW them how to do things They
think everything i'm Mexican methods
is a mistake: they will introduce real
American methods" But in a thou
sand ways American methods of bust
ness are ill-adapted to Mexican sur
roundings. and the attempt to force
them upon the country is pure folly,
No other foreigners who go to Mexico
make that attempt. Even the English
do not, and the Germans. the French
and Italians ADAPT THEMSELVES
to the conditions of the country as
far as possible. and not the conditions

head of cattle and horses, with an
estimated valuation OF ten million
dollars worth Of live stock, that all
depend more or less for range on
the forests and public domain, as
much Of the stock is grazed thereon
one-half of the time, at least, and
the remainder of the time Is fed in
the pastures of Idaho ranchmen.
The association has for its objects
better breeding and marketing, the
arrest and conviction Of cattle and
horse thieves and the projection OF
the cattle anu horse range In this
state. While 1t is the largest indus
try in the state of Idaho, affecting
the weals and woes of more people
in the Gem state than any other Of
her many and diverse industries, yet
1t has been the last to organize. The
swine breeders, the wool growers,
the dairymen, the bee men and the
farmers, the beet men, the miner,
the merchant and the manufacturer,
and the potato growers, and all the
other industries, are organized, and
now the cattle and horse growers
have a start upon one of the biggest
organizations in Idaho, with almost
unlimited possibilities for the flu
ture, on account of the force OF num-
bers of Idaho citizens who would
be eligible.
The coming convention is looked
forward to by the officers and pro-
moters of the Cattle and Horse
Growers association as one of the
most important factors in the cattle
and horse industry in the state, so
far as the future of the industry is
concerned, and expect and urge the
men engaged in the business to take
the time and trouble to attend. 1t is
anticipated that several hundred
growers and grazers will be present
and that quite little pure bred
stock will either be displayed or re-
presented by men engaged in the sale
of registered stock.
The grazing of cattle and horses
within the confines of the state is a
most important business factor, and
the convention of the men In the
business is sure to attract large
number of them to Pocatello on the
31st of the month. Federal and state
officials who have to deal with graz
ing affairs, have been invited to be
present. The 0. s. l.. is offering spe-
cial excursion rates for the conven-
ton.

WHAT AMERICAN WOMEN

The Denver Post is strongly up
holding President Wilson's weak and
vacillating Mexican policy--a policy
which has resulted in many AmeFi-
can men being murdered and Ameri-
can women being outraged before
the eyes of their husbands or Ameri-
can friends and then taken away to
become the mistress Of some bestial
Mexican officer. However, in the ma
gazine section of last Sundays Post
there appeared two-page article by
Miss Margaret Benton, Los Angeles
girl, in which she relates how she
was forced to submit to the desires
of Zapata, and to live with him as
his wife" for several months. Miss
Benton also relates instances of sim
liar misfortunes which came to other
American women in Mexico, of which
she has personal knowledge.
How any American woman, who
has any regard for her honor, can
uphold Wilson's policy after read
ing Miss Benton's story is beyond
our understanding. We regret that
space prevents us from publishing
her story in full, but following is a
paragraph which will give our read
ers an idea of the shameful outrages
and degTadations that have been
heaped upon American women in
Mexico during President Wilson .
policy Of ''watchful waiting"
Nearly one hundred American
women have been mistreated In Mexi-
CO since the United States forced
Victoriano Huerta to abandon the
last vestige of established govern
ment Mexico has had in six years.
How many met similar fates between
the outgoing of Porfirio Diaz in 1911
and the incoming of Huerta in 1918
no one knows, for many of them hid
their shame In the grave, and scores
fled silently to the United States,
there to try to pick up the threads
of their lives, broken solely because
thew were Americans and their gov
eminent would not protect them.
Some of these women. some of
those who remained in Mexico,
have known. Several have told me
their stories, and thru them / have
learned of the awful crimes perpe-
trated against others A few, like
myself. fell prey to the Zapatistas
thru whose country they had to pass;
still others met cruelties worse than
death because they happened to be
in northern Mexico when some wan
