Does Oil Control
There -was a grim irony in the tale
that was tcld about the j trouble at
.Tampico. 1
It began with oil.
Some months ago, the Constitution
alists were within an ace of cap

corn-
Tampico. One of our battleship
rnanders ordered them to cease firing.
Why? - v !
The oil wells were in danger.
It didn't seem to matter (how
many
Mexicans might be. killed; but it was
of supreme importance to save cor
poration oil-wells. 1
Consequently, when the Waters
Pierce gushers appeared to be in dan
ger of the shells of the Carranza-Villi
forces, the gallant American
mander called out, "Halt!
The Constitutionalists had to

and Huerta's sea-board city was sav

Later, we were told that our gallant
commander ran short of oil, and) land
ed seme of his bluejackets, in full uni
form, and in violation of Mexican
martial law, to get the oil.
A subordinate officer of the Mexi

his lights, and arrested these appar

It made no difference to Mayo that
the Mexicans at Tampico did noti have
any big ammunition nor twenty-one
big guns.
Probably, if he had required the lo
cal Mexican forces to fire off twenty-
one rifles, they might have done it
rather than have Mayo get any

But as the big guns were not

I am an American and! an ardent
Protestant. There is much in
teaching of the Roman v Carbolic

I believe also that Americans should
be on their guard against the politi
cal aggressions of the leaders in that
church. But I deplore the! use cf any

dered, would have been gladly and
promptly accepted.
As it was, our official lecturers on
The Prince of Peace could not be
placated by apologies. They demand
ed blood.
So, on account of the miserable lit
tle incident at Tampico, we began to
kill and be killed at Vera Cruz.
Which illustrates the horrible in
justice and wickedness of hasty war.
Vera Cruz had not done a thing to us.
Yet, when Admiral Mayo lost his
temper at Tampico dead men soon
littered the streets of Vera Cruz!
Consider the facts :
President Wilson refused to recog
nize Huerta's usurped and blood
stained government : he still refuses
to take the hand of the traitor and
the murderer of Madero: yet he goes
to war, killing Mexicans and causing
Americans to be killed, because
Huerta's government will not salute
the American flag.
In other words, Huerta's govern
ment is non existent , so far as Pres
ident Wilson can make it so : and be
cause this non existent government
does not salute our flag we go to war!
Could any thing be more indefen
sible? " 1
Now, my son, you can believe that
our battle ships had to depend upon
Mexico for supplies, if ycu want to.
That's your privilege. Likewise It is
my privilege to say that I don't be

The landing of those marines was
a deliberate proceeding intended to
bring on bloodshed. The oil 1 inter
ests in America and in England are
behind the whole business, just as
the Oil interests of the Rockefellers
are behind the Civil War in Colorado.
If. our government is so very sen
sitive about national dignity and
honor, why was, nothing done, when
Huerta's soldiers raided the pastures
of an American citizen Vergara, stole
his horses, and then enticed him a
cross the Rio Grande to kill him?
Was that non combatant Texan of
less value to our country than a few
gallons of oil, and 21 shots of blank
cartridges? ;
To Vergara's widow, to his rela
tives, to his neighbors, to his fellow
Texans, neither Wilson nor Bryan
gave any satisfaction whatever.
On the contrary, when Texas, mad
dened by the outrage and the bar
barous ' murder, forcibly regained
Vergara's mutilated body, it seemed
as if our President and our Prince-of-Peace
Secretary had half-a-mind
to make war on Texas. r
They made no demand on Huerta
at all!
Yet, when we ourselves are to
blame for landing uniformed marines

No Catholic priest could display
greater bigotry than you manifest.
The most ignorant member of that
church could not descend to coarser
speech than you use. No man of re

Well, now Bro. Enslin, ain't you a
pretty poke of pickeled piety to be
knocking The Yellow Jacket and
wishing it "could be barred out of
the mails"? You, a follower of Jesus
Crrist, who branded certain folks
snakes or vipers, and then you be
come shocked at The Yellow Jacket
because it dares to brand as enemies
of the country the sect who has burn
ed more people at the stake and but
chered more Christians than you ever
saw. The YellGW Jacket is not abus
ing Catholics. Mt is calling the peo
ple's attention, in a plain unvarnish
ed way, to the un-American doings
of the Romish hierarchy and if you
have any better or more fitting words
than we are using to do this dirty
job, we wish you would send us an
assortment by parcels post C. O. D.
and p. d. q. We need 'em. We half
way suspect that the toe-lickers have
a string to you. You say you deplore
the use of any such methods as we
use to uphold the cause of Patriotism.
How in the Sam Hill and forty little
red-eyed devils would you do it? . You
say you believe that there is much of
the teachings of the Roman Catholic
Church which is error. If you've- got
the intuition of a sucking calf, you
know it. Are you a married man?
Has God bless your home with child
ren? If so, what do you say when
the priests brand your wife an adult
ress and your children . as bastards?

Beloved, when a Romish toe-licking
bishop rises up in his pulpit and pro
mulgates a doctrine or rather policy
which practically says that what the
Stinger has been preaching is ever
lastingly right, don't it seem that the
time has come for everybody to get a
move on and make the thing unani
mous? Read what Bishcp Schrembs, of the
Pope's church says:
"Now, understand, there is nothing
in this wide world that is nearer and
dearer to a man than his honest reli
gious convictions. There is nothing
more sacred to a man than his honest,
sincere relations toward his God.
When you strike at these, ycu strike
at something that is fundamental in
that man's makeup, and he is a cow
ard, the worst kind of a coward, if he
does not manfully defend his most
sacred of rights, his most sacred of
liberties!"
iow Beloved, that is exactly what

line that has been- published since it

timent that surged in the rich red
blood of every, patriot who shed his
