Mexico and the Fair.

There are those who will censure
Gov. Hobby for his notion that THIS
country should intervene IN Mexico
and that Mexico should not be per
mitted to exhibit her resources AT
the Dallas Fair. We are inclined 10
the notion that It would have been
mutually good for Texas nd Mexico
to establish more amicable relations
through the Fair and yet the atu-
tudc of President Carranza toward
his country for the past three OF
our years has been enough 10 Jusu-
fy permanent contempt for him and
deep seated suspicion of his mo-
ives, however. II he couid be in

oolishness OF his former conduct.
