MEXICO THEN AND NOW.

In the midst of the Mexican trou-

some months, this editorial appeared
in the Indianapolis News Of April
.. 1912. fairly showing the sitJ2-
ton which is today little changed:
"Since the trouble in Mexico began
to grow acute. there has been a
difference in regard TO the attitude
the United States should maintain.
From certain sources, nOticea bly,
those interested partly in Mexican
property. but the greater extent in
iingoism. there comes the demand

What would you have done Mr..
Candidate Hughes that your repub-
lean party did not do at that time
Col. Roosevelt is as severe as Hughes
in criticising Wilson nut offers no
solution. Candidate Fairbanks says
we should have recognized Huerta.
Sen. Sherman. sent out by the re-
publican national committee. says
we should intervene and declare war
and he pleads for protection of
property interests.

ed secret investigation people of subnor.sl in
teligence by the police. This inspired by an n
quest into the death persons at the hands Of
Negro religious fanatic and his wife. The recommend
ations were in brief:
That an investigation without publicity be conducted
by the police and of subnormas be reported
through the police 70 the judge of the county court
That the practice of releasing such characters arrest
ed in quasi-criminaI warrants be discontinued
That an examination of them be made by the most
scientific medical experts obtainabe.
That a committee be appointed to make an investi-
CATION of all vicious criminal subnOrmals.
The suggestion has given rise to a good deal OF hu-
rnorous comment outside O Chicago but it is wise
and constructive suggestion nevertheless worth adopt
ing in any city however small The irresponsible per-

unexpected way Thorough medical examination of all
suspected morons half-wits would result in min

some Of them would be operated on surgicaly, with
the consequent elimination of vicious characteristics.
Others would segregated. still others, considered
harmless would simply be registered and given sort
