TROUBLE IN MEXICO

overthrow of the Carranza regime,

concern, save that it is indicative of
continued disorders in the republic to
the south Revolutions in Mexico
have become so much the order of
things, that no surprise need be oc-
casioned by any sort of political de
velOpment in that country
During the last ten years Mexico has
been so torn with internal strife,
that the country has long since lost
its credit, and stability as a nation.
The Diaz, Madero, Huerta, Villa and
Carranza governments have risen and
fallen, and now General Obregon

that this warship movement will not
result in any action similar to the
lamented Vera Cruz incident in 1914.
Continued disturbances in Mexico
constitute repeated evidence that
the United States eventually must in
tervene in Mexico, establish a stable
government, and impress upon the
Mexican people, through force of
arms, if necessary, that constituted
authority must be respected. 1t is
plainly the duty of the United States,

an active hand in affairs in the south.
however difficult may be the task.
Punitive expeditions, such as that
following the Columbus, n NJ, mas
sacre, can have only temporary and
perhaps, in the end, unwholesome eff
feet. Though the American govern.
ment may hesitate to Go so, it be-
comes more and more evident that
Intervention is the only permanent
solution of the Mexican problem.

1t is indeed unfortunate that the
advantage has recently been taken at

Commercial club to promote dissen-

gatherings, whether it be political
or of religious nature.
Under rule of the club, politics

Toay Of this firm was one of the most
genial of men always a smile on his
face radiating from genuine Christian
soul. Some of the present day old folks
must remember when he was laid away
to his final rest, how all the Sunday
schools turned out regardless of the
biting cold weather to pay last tribute
of love to him. Philip Allied, Sr, the
other member of the firm, was likewise
a man of honor and untiring worker

was obtained with as little ceremony as
the former; for at that time it was just
as legitimate an article of merchandise
