MEXICO


Villa is again in eruption, and his forces are threatening
important cities and industries in Northern Mexico. This should
end. If Carranza is not capable OF doing it, someone else should
undertake the task, France and England have many millions OF
dollars invested in Mexico, and these countries protect their
people in every quarter Of the globe. Our Monroe doctrine
prevents them from interfering, and it is up to lis to do the
necessary police duty.
We have %temporzed with Carranza too long. He is a
Mexican, and therefore not to be trusted. He hates the United
States, and therefore not to be loved. 1t is little less than scan
daous that we should permit at our own doors such a reign of
terror as exists in Mexico. We claim to be cock of the walk
and the whole thing on this continent, and we should make
good or confess ourselves unequal to the task, Had it not been
for the war Pershing would have settled things in Mexico by
this time. We have many Pershings in the service of the United
States, and many more who will serve if necessary. Bandits like
Villa and Zapata should be run to cover and suppressed. They
are a menace to this country, and a scandal to our civilization,
They succeed because they are permitted to succeed. But there
are sons and grandsons Of the men who followed l.aylor TO
Cerro Gordo and those who stormed C~hepultepec, who can make
the Mexicans pay some regard to decencies OF international
obligations as well as to domestic tranquility, Mexico has been
a fostering sore on this country for so long that patience is
exhausted, and something drastic and effectual must be done,
or we will stand disgraced in the eyes of the world. Our Monroe
doctrine is going to stand, but we cannot afford to have it
made ridiculous by a lot Of mongrel bandits who thrive on theft
and plumber, and live by robbery and spolation.

VENGEANCE.

BY CLARENCE DOUGLAS MOORE.
A monarch heaped pain upon the earth
And death and orphanage and widow
hood.
He poured out seas OF guiltless ruby
blood
To stain the affairs he profaned in
mirth
He trampled under foot the sacred
worth
OF temples pure where sanity tokens
stood:
And prayed Almighty aid to swell
his flood
Which strove to merge the gasping
world in dearth.
The Lord, offended. lifted high his hand,
And frowning down his bolt Of ven
geance hurled
Upon this monach's head; made him
release
His cherished crown and flee his faith
erland,
Then turned him faceward to an out
ragged world
That scorned him as the murderer
of OAaCe.
