WHAT DOES MEXICO OWE Usp

While Congress is handling the
Mexican situation without gloves, it
might do well to ask itself, and es-
say to answer, question framed
somewhat thus:
What advantage has Mexico de-
rived, in the last five years, from
the United States putative leader
ship in American affairs? What
good has been accomplished for
Mexico, what trouble has been
averted, by reason of the efforts Of
the Washington government?
A survey of the period from the
beginning of the Madero revolu-
ton against Diaz down to date will
justify a serious inquiry along this
line. At what point has the I'M lu-
ence or the authority Of the United
States been exercised in such man
ner that it has bettered conditions
in the republic beyond the Rio
Grande?
At all times this country has as
sumed some sort of superior concern
with the doings of Mexico. But it
did not support either Madero or
Diaz. 1t lodged all responsibility,
under the Taft Administration, and
unloaded the burden on the present
Administration. 1t in turn has
watchfully wabbled through the Ma
dero, the Huerta, the Villa, and into
the Carranza phases. 1t sent an
army to the border-and tied its
hands. 1t sent a fleet to Vera
Cruz-and then brought it back
home again, at a cost of a large
number of lives, both Mexican and
American. It took up with Villa,
and then tossed him over to adopt
Carranza. 1t neglected the oppor'
tunity which was afforded by the
Aguas Calientes convention to get
behind the truly constitutional
forces of Mexico and restore the
form and substance of government
under the institutions regularly
provided for that country.
These questions are brought
sharply to attention at this time,
when it is impressed upon us that
five years of our policy of delibera-
tion have brought us to a pass
where a discredited faction in Mex
leo dares makes such an attack on
American citizens as that in ChihLa-
hua. Is it possible to hope that we
shall win or hold the respect or con-
fidence of other nations in the
Americas, by our policy toward
Mexico? Is it to be imagined that
the Pan-Americanism of which we
have been talking so large lately,
will amount to anything worth
while when our own leadership in
it is so feeble, futile, and farcical?

TRAFFIC. COURTESY FIRST"

The question of street safety is
largely a matter of psychology. No
amount of traffic regulation can be
effective in a community where the
public has not been taught to look
out. for itself when on the streets.
The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce recognizes this fact
when it adds to it's "Safety First"
slogan the injunction Courtesy
First"
The new admonition is especially
demanded in cities where the auto
mobile traffic is heavy. The courts
still hold the pedestrian has the
right of way in public highways.
The pedestrian who does not own an
automobile is apt to be insistent on
this legal right, which often is not
amoral right, because of changed
conditions. Every discussion of the
traffic question brings out COM
plants against those who try to
cross streets in front of automobiles.
Some pedestrians find a peculiar JOY
in; embarrassing drivers by such an
tics. &c., 50
The Courtesy first" phase of the
safety first" problem would be an
especially valuable phase to impress
upon school children. Children's
minds are open to an appeal to fair
play, and the ethical plea on the
score of courtesy might be more
efective than that for personal
safety. -..---.-

sweet-scented names for robbery
conquest and exploitation.
But there will be some embarrass-
ment for the jingoes who hOwled for
war with Mexico and demanded in
vasion by an army of 100000 AmeTi-
can troops. Wilson did call out
something over 100000 national
guardsmen-and has shown the
country that to have called out $780,
900 and sent them over the border
would have been a heaTtless slaugh-
ter of innOcents. The courageous
and willing gUardsmen themselves,
when they learned they we're not fit
for a 1O-mile hike in the semi-tTOp-
ical sun, have learned that Wilson
was better posted on their prepared
ness than the officers who have built
up such a big political machine in the
national guard.
But back home are fathers and
mothers who have their eyes open
and who will thank God for the quiet
man in the White House who had too
much lower jaw to be stampeded into
a senseless war by American specu-
lators in Mexican properties. And
the working class Of this country will
not damn Wilson for refusing to
stand for a war of conquest that
meant exploitation Of the working
class of Mexico.
In making an issue of Wilson's
Mexican policy the jingoes may bite
off more than they can chew.
