AMERICANS SHOULD BE

citizen may be there should be
enough respect manifested for
this government that that citi

If the Mexican
cannot guarantee protection to
reputable citizens of this coun

their daily tasks then this coun

themselves. Two instances have
happened within the last few
days when American citizens
were captured by bandits and
held for ransom, and that within it

We believe that the ultimate
result of it all will be that this
government will have to send
tioops into Mexico and hold it un
til a stable government is estab
lished, just as they did in the
case of Cuba. We do not want
it as a part of this country, but
the continued unsettled condi
tions down there are a continual
meance to the peace of this coun
try.
The percentage of educat
ed people in Mexico is so small
that they are incapable of furnish
ing a staple government, and
they should be taken charge ox
and educated and given a stable
government until the majority of
the people reach the state a
which they are capable of gov
erning themselves, just as we are
doing in the case of the Philli-pines.
