like you nor consider you interesting

stinately refuse to bend the knee before

you could never win that minority would
make you wretched.
We get out Of this world exactly
what we put into it; so pause a mo-
ment and see what you are putting
into the world,
First. a belief that you are hatred.
That In itself Is an absurdity. 1t
takes a lot more mental exertion and
more sustained effort tnan most people
are capable Of to really hate anybody.
Most persons are infinitely more inter-
ested in themselves and their W af-
fairs than they are In yours. You would
probably be surprised to learn what a
very small area Of their minds you
really occupy.
You say You long to compel respect
and to make persons obey you. That
Is the dream of tyrants, and ultimate
end Of all tyranny Is a tumble in the
dust.
You are using the wrong weapons.
If you strike, you will be struck. IL

about you. If you show your raw spots

cover them.

A, New Day In Mesico?

Following Immediately on the
prompt military action taken Sunday
night at Ell Paso, Tex, to safeguard
endangered by shots fred
from the Mexican side Of the Rio
Grande, the announcement made yes
terday In Washington that the Ad-
had called on the Car
rama Government to safeguard. citi-
gems Of the United States In Mexico
may indicate a new policy on the
part Of this country with regard to
the property and persons Of its people
abroad.
Ever since President WILSON IN
dertook the guidance Of our relations
with our next door neighbor on the
south Americans in Mexico have been
unable to make out exactly where
they stood. Whether their citizenship
was q distinction imperllling their
safety or a distinction conceivably
advantageous in the protection Of
their skins has been problem they
have been unable to solve. Whether
their material interests, lawfully &C
quired and legally held, were a re-
proach to them in the opinion Of the
has been the subject
of animated but discreet debate by
many Americans in Mexico.
The quick suppression Of careless
rifiemen in Juarez and the reported
warning to CARRANzA to take care OF
Americans may herald the coming OF
q new dispensation in Mexican affairs
II It does the Administration mag
count on public support in exact pro,
portion to the degree In which 1t Is

ward Mexico.

Doctrine lie not, a. II 10 described In
the amended covenant, an "interna-
tionai enga cement" or regional I'M
derstanding." It IL not a part of In
ternational law. It Ia not an agree
ment between the United States and
any other nation, American, European
or Asiatic. 1t Is a policy Of the
United States, to be applied as the
judgment Of the United States die
tates, OF such times as the United
States deems wise and in the manner
which at the moment seems best
adapted to conserve the interests Of
the United States.
To subject the Monroe Doctrine to
the wisdom, generosity. judgment or
self-interest Of any Power other than
the United States would be to de-
stroy It. To permit the initiative for
Its application to pass from the ex-
elusive political Jurisdiction Of the
United States would transform It
into q new and untried thing. To al
low any Power or combination Of
Powers except the United States to
interfere In Its Interpretation would
rob us Of II. To describe It as an
international agreement or a ere
gional understanding" is to mlsrepre-
sent 1t, and to include such mlsrepre-
sentative phrases in an ofIlcial docu-
ment betrays gross unfamiliarity with
the Monroe Doctrine or a plan to de-
ceive the people Of the United States
or the people Of other nations.
These facts Senator KNOX brought
out with great clarity. His definition
Of the Monroe Doctrine was cogent
and explicit; his exposure of the dan
ger that menaces It was exact and
convincing; and no higher duty rests
On any American to-day than to make
clear to his countrymen the menace
Of international innovation that is de-
signed to rob US Of the protection the
Monroe Doctrine has afforded to the
tranquility, the progress and the very
life Of the republican Americas.

Safety and Sanity on independence
Day.

The fact that we have come victo-
riously out Of the war does not con-
stitute a valid reason for blowing
men and women and children to pieces
with gunpowder on the Fourth Of
July. That Independence Day can be
celebrated joyfully and appropriately
without examining the hospitals with
victims Of toy cannon has been amply
demonstrated in the last few years.
The sound Of hearty cheers for the
heroes Of the past and the present Is
more fitting on the national birthday
than the explosion Of firecrackers or
the discharge of firearms. The world
has had enough of gunpowder.
Mayor HYLAS, sensibly refusing to
be moved by the thoughtless demand
for temporary reestablishment Of
unsafety and insanity next month,
has issued a proclamation telling the
police to enforce the laws and call
Ing on the public to obey them. He
will not consent to a return to the
lncendiarism which once marked the
celebration Of the nations birthday {:
he wants to go to bed at night undis-
turbed by the thought that because
|ths law was ignored several scores Of
citizens must end their days minus
hands or arms or eyes. II anybody
gets hoarse singing patriotic songs or
cheering popular heroes no perma-
nent injury will be done. but the child

to shut the eyes to fact. We do not
have to suggest the grave injury that
would have been done to the good
will and standing of any corporation
by refusal OF its directors to join
other Americans in financing the Red
Cross. Everybody knows that popu-
lar vengeance would quickly have
impaired, perhaps destroyed, the busi-
ness OF any corporation that did not
support that great movement.
The Commissioner ruling is out OF
sympathy with popular feeling and at
variance with the facts and the In
tent Of the law. II should be revised
to bring It into harmony with justice
and fair dealing.

Long Island Twins.

/ The chance Of being born a twin,
according to the most recent Stats
tics Of this prolific city, is in about
40; that is, in every $50 visits Of
the stork he arrives once with
double gift. The chance Of new
born child to live to the age Of 80 Is
/ In. IS. In the case of twins
gambler would lay $500 to at their
birth that both would not survive
eighty-nine years. Therefore, multi
plying $50 by $500. 1t would seem
that the chance Of finding a pair Of
twins alive ut the age Of 80 is 1 In
100000. Therefore the distinction Of
the twins Of Sea CHI, Mrs. MARIA
HAwxHuRsr BANKS and Miss ELIZA
beth HAwxHuRsT, Is great. Stretch
ing the odds not unreasonably, they
are ladies In million.
The birthday of these fortunate
twins has taken the place on the
calendar Of Long Island Of the an
nual celebration which attended the
birthday Of the Muncy twins until
the death of Twin SAMUEL in 1914.
These brothers, born on Christmas
Day in 1918, lived together, after be-
ing widowed, until death separated
them, their last birthday together be-
ing their ninety-ffth. Theirs was a
remarkable case, for the chances at
birth against both living to the age
Of 95 were more than 100000 to 1.
Long Island Is fortunate in having
the Hawxhurst twins to succeed the
Muncy brothers as evidence Of the
salubrity Of the climate. The Mum
cYs advertised the ozone Of the South
Side; Sea CLIFFS atmosphere is cele-
brated by the sisters whose added
years became 17s on Monday. OF
course everybody who has travelled
Long Island knows that every town
is ''the second healthiest place in the
world. the doctors say but here is
proof Of 1t.
The island has received a good deal
Of unwelcome publicity In recent
years as the hunting preserve Of I'M
happy wives. Husbands with false
social notions moved there only to be
shot. The cases Of the long lived
twins offset these sad histories and
point a moral. II you wish longevity
do not move to Long Island and
abuse your wife. Be twin, inhabit
Nassau or Suffolk, and live we'll into
the nineties.
