DAMFINO
MEXICANO

Just before the big war we
marched Pershing and a lot of sol
diers down into Mexico with the
avowed intention Of getting Mr.
Villa and Furnishing him for his
crimes against the people and inter
ests OF the U.S.A, but we did not
catch anything, except scurvey and
the itch, while Villa gave US the
horse laugh.
We put up a great bluf about our
Monroe doctrine, and stood before the
world as the wet nurse of all the
Latin American burlesque republics.
yet any one of US that ventures
across the southern boundary line Of
our own country tomorrow Is liable
to get his head blown off, to say
nothing about getting his pockets
picked.
Now another so-called govern
ment is asking for recognition, and If
1t is given there should also be given
with it a command that If American
lives and property are not properly
safeguarded we will go down there
and clean up the whole mess.
We need not worry about any seed
European countries may sow on
American soil, al the climate Is not
adapted to that kind of a political
crop. About the time it gets to rails
ing ten bushels to the acre a revolu-
tionary cyclone rips it up by the
roots. But, affording them protec-
ton, we are at least entitled to re-
spect from these opera bouffe re-
publics. Uncle Sam has had trouble
with Mexico long ago. They are all
republics de jure but despotisms de
facto, and insult the American flag
as an everyday pastime.
Our government has been starring
in the ridiculous role of Don Quixote
quite long enough and should now
give those cavaleros and half-baked
aborigines to distinctly understand
that they must not only work out
their own salvation, but show a prop
er respect to the greatest country
in the world, that has long been a
buffer between them and foreign foes
that would otherwise have eaten
them alive, sombreros, tortillas and
included.
