as per Mexican law-and again the American
Cardinals ragged, and touched up the animals
below.
Carranza required the parish priests-lustv,
strapping bachelors-to take wives or Get
out-and once more the American subjects Of
the Tiber Harlot CRASHED the teeth of MUIR
derous resentment.
Apparently, the noise frightened our peda-
gogue President. If the Catholic vote united
with the German vote against him, he would
not be able to crafty his amiable beautiful,
but naturally aspiring young wife, aoith d
term Of her Darn as First Lady Of the Land.
At present, she is merely serving out. as il
were, the term of the first Mrs Woodrow
Wilson; and while she is doing it with the
grace and dignity, she naturally feels that She
could do still better with term of her own.
At all events, there was sudden rights
about-face IN Wilson's attitude toward Cars
rama; and he began to make motions like
man who felt that it was incumbent upon him
to show fight; and who, by way Of prudent
preference, had selected for his attack the
smallest man in sight-as the heroic Nathaniel
Wrinkle did, in "Pickwick Papers,"
Generals Carranza and Oregon were
straining every nerve to bring order out of the
chaos precipitated upon their country by
Archbishop Mora, Felix Diaz, General
Huerta, and the American Ambassador
General Washington toiled at has task
SEVEN YEARS.; and the beautiful little
city in which lies the pastorate of the Rev W.
r. Foote, was the first to be named after the
Great Pilot who weathered the storm of our
Revolutionary War.
The obstacles met by Carranza and Obre-
gon were not very unlike-th met by WASH
ington and Greene; because, where the
American patriots had to contend with hired
Hessians from Germany Indians fired by the
British, Tories acting under bandit leaders,
and treason among the Catholic officers Of
the Conway Cable, the Mepicae patriots have
had to contend with the hireling Villistas Of
American capitalists and priests, the bandit
bands of Zapata, and the instruction led by
the pet of Archbishop Blenk and Cardinal
Gibbons-Felix Diaz.
Our Government had full notice that Felix
Diaz was in New Orleans consulting with
Gibbons, Blenk and Mora, yet it made no ef-
forts to stop him when he passed from New
Orleans to the Florida coast on his way to
Mexico, via Cuba.
Has General Carranza no right to cons
plain? Is our country to become vipers'
nest for Roman Catholic conspiracies against
Canada, England, and Mexico?
No sooner had Felix Diaz landed in South
ern Mexico, than the Hessian Villa pulled off
his little raid in New Mexico, where General
Pershing was conveniently blind, the subor-
dinate officers dancing at wedding, the
sentinels sound asleep, and the army rifles
locked up!
We are told that Villa killed 10 citizens of
Columbus and destroyed property worth sew.

without asking Mexican leave. Our marines
were promptly released, and the fullest
apology rendered to Admiral Mayo; but he
declined to receive it, and made the imperious
demand for salute to his flag.
In consequence, 10 Americans fell at Vera
Cruz, 300 Mexicans were killed, the Mexican
seaport was held, and the punitive Funston
kept there, until the foolish adventure had cost
our taxpayers nearly ten million dollars
Then the troops were withdrawn, without
having accomplished anything constructive,
or beneficial to mankind
We did not get the salute to Mavo's FLAG.
and we did not bestow any additional lustre
upon the Golden Rule.
Struggling against difficulties that try
mems souls, Generals Carranza and Oregon
have been consecrated-as Washington, Green
and Harry Lee were-to the establishment of
independence and Home Rule for their native
land
After SO long a time, President Wilson
recognized Carranza: that is, he pledged our
Government to know him, respect him, and
treat with him as the acting governor Of an
independent State.
This official recognition Of Carranza placed
him on the same legal footing as the Cover
nor-General OF Canada, the President of the
Republic Of Columbia, the President of
Brazil, and the Emperor of Germany
Pray, realize the deep importance of
THAI!
What happened, Immediately afterward?
The Roman Catholic Cardinals, Arch

the most inflammatory abuse of President
Wilson.

Bishop Ben Kelley, Of Savannah, took his
cue, and vented his wrath in the Savannah
papers-telling lies about the situation, as
usual
Congressman James Gallivan, of Massa-
chusetts (4th Degree Papal Footkisser)
rushed into print to say that, if the President
had recognized Carranza without having Sc
cured guarantees satisfactory to the Roman
Catholic Church, he and other Knights of
Foreign Footkissery would force Congress

Secretary Lansing fastened to publish a
statement intended to satisfy the enraged
Catholic Big-wigs, and which qoouZd have

But church which was burning Mexican
