OUR MEXICAN POLICY

The complicated Mexican situation seems to be
summed up in the following statements
Since the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz by Madero in
1911 there have been, according to a statement made
by Henry P. Fletcher, American Ambassador to Mexico
before the rules committee of the house of represen
tatives least PIT Americans killed in Mexico 1877 of
this number having persisted since Carranza into
power while, during the PERIOD there have been
murders of Germans Spaniards, and but one En-
glshman has been killed, and in that instance an
apology made and it was accompanied by the ex-
PLANTATION that the party murdered had been mistaken
for an American. In response to inquiry to the
number of Mexcans who bave been tried and convicted
in connection with these PIT MURDERS the ambassa
dor replied that he was unable to recall any
From the foregoing facts it seems clear not only
years have had genuine contempt for our foreign poll
ey with reference to the protection of American ct
zens but alsothough we regret to have to admit it
that such opinion seems to have been fully justified
by our ngcontinued policy of mere "watchful wait
ing" Moreover it must also be admitted that even in
our watching have been frghtfully negligent
since, according to the ambassador never until within
the last few days has government taken the trouble
to make up list of Americans known to have been
murdered in Mexico and the list presented is
admittedly incomplete In other words our government
has not only failed to afford any effective protection
whatever to its citizens in Mexico but it has also
failed to take the trouble of keeping list
our citizens murdered there.
Obviously something must be done at once which
will cause Mexicans to have wholesome respect for
ill.,
not necessarily mean Observation-Disclosures England
nor Germany Spain have ha& to intervene to pro-
tect their czens-but it DOES that the Mexican
government and every sugle citizen and resident of
Mexico must be given 20 understand and for all
that there meting out of swift and complete justice
that there is metng out of swift and complete justice
whenever the salety rights of Americans in Mexico
are infringed.

HUMOR

IF one has humor in his makeup, he is the dar-
Hing child of luck; for the trouble life can rake
up slide off like water from a duck. If humor's in
your composition, you laugh where other fellows
swear, and adventure condition can ill
your bosom with despair. All, me, pity some poor
mortals who cannot laugh at their own grief;
you cannot make them think that chortles bring
to troubles quick relief. They're always
prompt to laugh at others, they the fun in
neighbours cares; they laugh when they behold
their brothers go falling down nine flights of
stairs But their own griefs another matter
there's nothing humorous in that; they hand out
grevous groans and splatter al! kinds of tears
around the flat 1t is not humor that inspires you
if you ha-ha at others woe, while your trouble
only tires you, and makes the well known briny
flow. If you can laugh at your own troubles, you
have true humor in your heart, and you look
on woe as bubbes-you have a salve for every
smart
