MEXICAN SITUATION

The bandits in Mexico are hay
ing rather jolly time OF 1t ar
resting Americans, turning them
loose, and arresting another batch.
Our foreign policy for many
years has been such that the peo-
pies OF other countries have held
our government in more or less
contempt-generally, more! We
have rarely taken up for the rights
OF our citizens abroad, The few
instances, such as the RalSul
case, only make more glaring and
obnoxious, the rule. Especially
is this true in Latin-American
countries. We well remember
during the Spanish-American war
of numbers of American citizens
claiming British citizenship in
Mexico, where the sentiment was
pro-Spanish, because their own
country would not protect them,
We have had a foolish and
groundless superstition for the
last twenty years or more in re
gard to offending Latin-Amerlcan
opinion. We have leaned so far
backwards that we have actually
toppIed over into their supreme
derision and contempt They
have learned that to maltreat an
American citizen brings no pun
iShnlent or repriSal.
The fact IS, our government mas
never understood the Latin-Amer-
lean character. 1t is peculiar in
that it only respects strength and
force. Fear is the prerequisite to
their confidence and esteem; and,
we would add, even to their attec-
ton. They do not, and never
have appreciated the dlslntereSted
benevolencc OF Uncle Sans pol
icy. They misconstrue it for tear
and weakness.
We have often been reminded
OF the old Aesop fable OF the
grandsire and the little boy drlv-
ing the donkey laden with yeSe-
tables to market. First they we're
laughed at because both were atoot
when they had a strong animal TO
carry them. SO both got on the
staggering beast and were rebukcd
by the next group for so oyertaN-
ing the poor animals strength.
Then the little boy got off, and
they met a crowd OF women who
rallied at the old man for letting
the wee little boy tire himself out
on the long and dusty road So
the grandSirc dismounted and the
lad rode the donkey. The next
crowd they met happened to be
elderly men who waXed indignant
because the sturdy youngster let
his aged grand-dad travel atooJ
while he was comfortably seated
astride the Jogging animal THUS
it is. says wise old Aesop-"in
trying to please everybody, YOU
please nobody !"
And thus it has been with the
United States and all Latin-Amer-
lea. We have tried to please every
little Republic that had prcsi-
dent and a corporars guard, anC
not a single one OF them is on
friend today. They attribute tC
us the vileSt and most selfish OF
motives. and even spit on tn,
Monroe Doctrine, to which they
owe their very existence today
The fact is. as minated, pol
icy by which we could malntalI
our own selt-respect, would secure
the respect Of others. Perhaps

gameness and spirit and threatened
to score more than once.
Practically all the ground gained by
the local boys was done by the forward
pass, while on the other hand the Win

use anything except line plunges al
though they made several good gains
on end runs. q

STOLEN BUGGY LOCATED;
SHERIFF GETS CONFESSION
Deputy Sheriff Does Some Shrewd
Sleuthing and Locates Buggy Stolen
In Maysliek NeighbOrhoOd.

Deputy Sheriff Elmer Applegate
Monday located a buggy which had
been stolen from Mr.. Sam Whalen,
we'll known farmer OF the Alayslick
neighborhood and obtained from the
colored man in whose possession the
stolen buggy was found, a confession
as to its theft.
The officer had noticed a certain COL
ored man in the Mayslick neighbor-
hood had been driving a strange buggy
for the past several weeks and he ad-
vised the man from whom the buggy
was stolen. The owner of the buggy
had offered a fifty dollar reward for
its recovery and he and the officer
went to the negro's home. The buggy
was identified by the owner but the
negro denied the theft.
Finally the owner of the buggy
agreed that he would not prosecute il
the negro would return the buggy, pay
the fifty dollar reward and tell the
truth. 1t was then that the negro made
the confession, paid the deputy sheriff
the fifty dollar reward and returned
the buggy. The buggy had been re-
painted and otherwise camoflaged.

BETTER BUSINESS
TREND CONTINUES
SAYS WALL STREET
Business Looking Up Considerably
Says Expert Advise From New
York City Stock Mar
kets Center.
A New York dispatch says:


The trend toward better business in
Industrial and commercial circles has
undergone no apparent change during
the past week. Railway car loadings
remain close to the peak and plainly
would be greater if the roads could
furnish and move larger number of
cars.
Thus the excess in the demand for
freight cars as compared with the sup
ply October 10 was, according to the
American Railway Association, 156,OO0
cars. The effect naturally is to re-
strain the movement of certain kinds
of tariff, such as grain, and to restrict
the mining Of coal.
Nevertheless. this situation is not as
yet extreme and is considered to have
its compensations. Steel products are
moving in an amount approximately
equal to current production and all
essential needs OF customers are re-
ported to have been met.
Soft coal production is slightly
higher, finally having risen above the
10, 900, 900 tons a week level, and the
showing down in the grain movement
has had a supporting effect on prices
Some well posted quarters consider
that the transportation situation is
scarcely more difficult than is usually
the case when the heavy seasonal
movement OF freight is under way.
As for the steel industry the output
is continuing to run slightly above Il
per cent. OF capacity and mills appeal
to have an accumulation Of orders suf
ficient for a number of months ahead
The scarcity created by the strik'
shows signs OF disappearing.
Coke and pig iron prices are lowe
and the premiums offered for tn,
prompt delivery Of steel products hav,
about disappeared. Railroad mills ar
working on the orders booked prior u
the October increase in prices.
With respect to farm products tn
movements OF the week were some
what irregular. Cotton pushed ahea,
to new high records, the Decembe
future selling at about "a cents
pound.
The strength Of this commodity
attributed party to its impressibe sta
. tietical nosition md nar-t1y IN IN
fact that trade buying has been stron
due both to the clearing up of tn
Near Eastern situation and to bette
activity in the dry goods trade.
