THIS is POLICE DUTY, Ell PASO AND JUAREz

by reason thereof, We have troops and marines in
Nicaragua where they been for six years without
bringing on war. And so the record goes. There is
plenty of precedent for the present movement into
Mexico.
Mexicans, if they apply ordinary common sense
to this situation in light of all the United States
and its people have suffered by of the dis
turbed conditions Mexico and in light Of the infinite
patience the Americans have exhibited-Mexcans will
accept this situation without protest, and will
welcome the use of American cavalry to nd Mexico
of one of the worst characters that defied its
soil one of the worst to MexicOs peace and
his band of assassins which has been having things ali
its own way despite the earnest though ineffective
efforts of the Carranzs government to put him and
them out of the way.
If Carranza and his people accept this situation
in reasonable and friendly way, there will be no
Intervention in Mexico The present movement with
few thousand men is not in any to be called an
intervention It is not ordered in hostile warlike
spirit and it should not be received IT rests with
Csrranza and his people, and the people of Mexico
whether the expedition shall carry out its announced
purpose unmOested whether, by foolish resistance
the Mexcans themselves invite general intervention
with the inevitable long period of occupation of the
whole country, and the assumption of the general
management of Mexican affairs by the United States
government That will be the inevitable result of
foolish hostile acts by the people or the de factO
government of Mexico.
The present armed expedition is peaceabe eXpedi-
tiOn, nothing than police force sent to catch
criminal and to bring him to punishment That is the
only rational way to look at it.

sequences state of might lead The MexcanS
will consult their own best interests if they lift no
hand against this present movement, which is taken
in all frendlines and without the slightest desire to
interfere in Mexican internal affairs to encroach
upon Mexican sovereign rights.
The movement of troops into Mexico at this time
has ample and abundant precedent. The Herald has
on various occasions in the past urged such move
ment with view to helping to clear up the Mexican
situation by removing the most active causes OF inter
rational friction The Herald has always fought against
general armed intervention unnecessary, but this
paper urged that small force of American troops be
sent into the Mormon colony country at the time the
great exodus was ordered that they might be pro-
tected as well as American and foreign industrial
properties and that railroad communication might be
kept open in that district The Herald again urged
a punitive expedition at the time of the Santa Ysabel
massacre, for the reasons and with the same
purposes control the present emergency movement
And The Herald from the first urged more drastic
for the protection of Ell Paso Douglas NO
gales, and all border points, than used until the
last few months began to show changed disposition
at Washington and the troops began to return fire
across the line as should have been done from the
beginning.
The Herald has heretofore published a list Of ap-
proximately 1875 occasions on which American troops,
marines or bluejackets have been used foreign soil
to protect American and other interests placed IN
jeopardy by reason of lawless acts revolutions
None of these military and naval movements meant
war or was so construed by other countries

The Cabaret Is A Playground For Married Men
Neat French Device To Keep Ruralitiies In Town

T4HE cabaret is playground for
married men who have left home
in order TO avoid being talked to
death. It is also frequented by large
quantities Of married men who could
stay away from home for nine months
at a time without being missed by
anybody except the booze solicitor
The cabaret is a neat French device
for preventing the rural patron from
leaving town with money on his per
son. There is something about the
atmosphere. as well as the fauna and
flora, OF the average cabaret which
makes a prodigal son out Of the vii
Iage Croesus. Every few days some
thirsty. kiln-dried retired merchant
from an inland town will stumble into
a cabaret with the intention of buying
a lemon soda and enjoying the scenery,
but will be made so mellow by the mu-
sic that he will throw 70 cents or
dollar away with the utmost unconcern.
This is one reason why no married man
should be allowed to visit our large
cities without being accompanied by
n square jawed wife with high ideals
and brawny muscles.
The cabaret consists Of a large room
full of smoke. three-legged tables and
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1916-03-10

Of perfect ladies who smoke cigarets
and drink everything in the laboratory,
thus proving cOnclusively the accuracy
of the Darwinian theory. 1t is a great
shock to an unsOphisticated country pa
iron to enter a cabaret for the tIrst
time and see somebody's wife or sister
or daughter dragging at a cigaret and
trying to look like a woman. Man is
so constituted that he reserves the
right to smoke all OF the cigarets man
uafctured. without being put out Of the
church. and insists that woman shall
confine her dissipation to chewing gum
and setting bread.
The cabaret is a good illustration OF
freedom as eXemplified in our laws and
customs Sometimes people who have
visited a cabaret and returned home
sober are inclined to think we have
to much freedom in this country. There
is a well-defined suspicion that We are
OVERRIDING the freedom business. This
will result in closing down the decent
cabarets along with the vile ones, after
which everybody will be happy.

The action of the president today Acknowledges

that has guided The Herald for than five years
in its discussion of Mexican affairs and relations
with Mexico The president has now done what the
Washington government under both Taft and Wilson

ne has ordered limited force of troops into Mexico
for specific purpose without making it act OF
war The very fact that the president does this thing
without the of congress (Which alone charged

duty-and he or his predecessor might have taken
similar timely, drastic, and necessary action at any

directly ordered any positive and effecual movement
for the protection of Americans the border or IN
Mexico for to be positive and effectua any response
to armed raids from across the line be unlimited
by the boundary line, either to shots fired across

punitive expedition pure and simple, and cleanng-up
expedition for the benefit of the Mexcans much as
for the satisfaction of the demands of primary justice

That phase of the movement must be kept IN mind

border. This expedition is not for revenge, and 1t is
not in any aggressive upon Mexican sovereign
rights. There is thought in anybody's mind that
it will be necessary to occupy any foreign territory for
any length of time. The national entity Of Mexico
is to be fully respected
