Where the u. S. Must Stand

w E don't think much of the occasional
w warlike editorial we see which de-
clares that our excursion into Mexico
should be followed by the subjugation of
the Mexicans and the annexation OF their
country.
We don't think that the few editors
in the United States who are taking that
tack have properly gagged the opinion
OF the American people
Public opinion. as we read il. very
largely endorses the attitude OF President
Wilson in this matter
We have a police job In Mexico. Our
army is down there to punish Villa and
his gang of desperadoes. to clean up the
ruffians who are making life miserable
and dangerous in northern Mexico and
over the border in our own homes. and
20 put an end TO q situation which has
been a thorn in the flesh to both re-
publics-Mexico and the United States.
WE ARE GOING TO CARRY 1T
THRU TO THE END. OUR COUN-
TRYMEN EXPECT THAT A THORO
JOB SHALL BE DONE, COME WHAT
MAY.
We hope there will be no interference.
But no matter-interfcrencc viii. be
brushed aside with hand as hearty
and as heavy as the hand that will wipe
out the Villa bandits. Other Mexisans
should understand this from the start
and stand aside.
If they don't. all the worse for the
Nexicans.
The American people do not banker
70 conquer their fellow men in the sister
republic They prefer to see them free
and independent We don't want to
seize their territory. The greed for the
sunny lands and the rich mines OF Mexico
may tickle the gixzards of the rich mo-
nopolists and the Hearsts, but no such
greed animates the mass of US
president Wilson has sized up public
opinion about right.
But he has not been unmindful OF
higher considcration--thc place of the
United States as a world power.
He knows that ii the United States
goes into a great war 10 conquer Mexico
and annex that country. we shall not only
take upon ourscli task that will car up
billions OF dollars and snuff out the lives
OF hundreds OF thousands OF American
soldiers, but that we shall thereby build
up . great wall between this nation and
the rest OF the world.
We will be so busy whipping Mexieans.

TREATMENTS BALL WAS
 SUCCESSFUL. AFFAIR
Large and Happy Crowd Was Present to Enjoy Annual Dance Given
 by Phoenix Fire fighters

The nineteenth annual ball given by the Phoenix Fire Department at Pat Iiclls hail last night was without ques- tion on eof the most brilliant happy and social functions which it has ever been the pleasure and privilege of local so ciety to participate in.
 The strains of the grand march were
 started promptly at nine o'clock the music coming flom the quintet of musicians which comprise the Besse orchestral Mayor and Mrs George l.. Young led the march and there were
 about sixty couples in line at this time. Within in an hour after the opening of the festivities. there were couples on the glassy floor enjoying the rythm of the lifting music. In point of attendance the ball somewhat
 eclirses all past efforts in this direc-
 tion and aside from the tickets used by
 persons present. there were something
 like one hundred more persons WEo
 purchased tickets and who were un- able to attend.
 All of the moneys derived from the sale of tickets will go for the benefit of the fund fer the sick and disabled firemen, and the proceeds of last nights affair will go far toward aid ing in this worthy work For a num- her of years past the ball has been held on Washington's birthday, and the affair has come to be looked on | as one of the seasons most pleasal! social gatherings.
 For the dance of this year, the nall was handsomely decorated. and this, combined with the handsomely goWned women and their radiant escorts. con spired to present an attractive picture 10 the on-loOker, and served to stamp on the memory of those present the recollection of an evening of unal- ! loved pleasure.

The young man had q narrow escape from cremation. but his companions made their escape before the fire department and the po- lice arrived.
 The department had a second call last evening to Third avenue and Me Kinley street. but upon arriving there were unable to find any blaze. Get your seat early at the "Y' for a Il Homo
