"Your congressional jingo ts in
a ra because the President, of
the United States refuses to man
age the Mexican problem as the
jingo would have it done. Every
devil of 'em is on his head to have
Huerta kept in place and power,
and all of them are horrified a t
the suggestion of a recognition
of Carranza. Huerta does not
conceal the fact that his policy is
to keep 90 per cent of the Mexi
can people in state of hopelesn
and abject peonage that is infinit
ely, worse than African slavery
ever was in any of our Southern
States. According to Huerta the
most of the labor in Mexico has
no mission in this life b u t to
delve in the mine for the profit
of a few men who own the coun
try and have made "concessions"
to adventurous foreign capital
from which have been spawned
a hundred revolutions in Latin
America, and this good day Mex
ico "would enjoy political tranquil
ity if the dirty money, from our
country and Europe had not been
ventured to reap dividend from
revolution, war, rapine, murder,
and slavery.
Maj 19 John Sharp Williams
read in the United States Senate
and had printed in the Congress
ional Record a letter from an of
ficial of the United States station
ed in Mexico, from which I take
this passage:
'Weo Willie Hearst has a large
corps of men here making moun
tains out of molehills for the pur
pose of inflaming the public mind,
in order that his investment i n
lands in Mexico may be enhanced
in value. It is a rotten game,
and the majority of the newspa
per men here do not want to see
war.'
Then the writer goes on to say
that it would cost 200,000 Ameri
can lives and occasion an expend
iture of ten billions of dollars lo
overrun, conquer ana suojugate
the country. Here is his close:
'It would be cheaper to take
every refugee out of here, p a y
him rery dollar due, him, pen
sion Lim for life, and let his blat
ant mouth be head at home, a &
insufferable" a s that would be.
rather than engage in war.'
Mr William Kent, a member ol
Congess from California, express
ed an admirable sentiment in re
lation to Mexico. He said h e
liad money invested in mine down
there, that he had abandoned it
till queit is restored, and that as
he would not willingly sheds
drop of his own blood to make
the property profitable, he would
feel himself a coward to ask that
the blood of one single American
soldier be spilled in the affair.
There is a man a 'patriot, and
his are the sentiments of a good
Christian. If all the money ven
tued in Mexico were as clean as
his there would-be no revolution
down there.
Carranza and Villa may b e
very bad man; but neither is as
bad as Huerta and both asserted
that their mission in politics and
n war is the abolition of peonage
in their unhappy country. They
are agrarian, certainly, and they
may be visionary, but Anarchy
will keep its state in Mexico un
til their drerm is realized. ' Land
for the landless and letters for
the ignorant is their war cry. It
ought to appeal to every Ameri
can. --'
Centurhn ago Hernando Cortez
with his cruel band invaded Mex
ico and if there was any justice
there then it sloped to the utter
most ends of the earth at his ap-
Why not try a little justice dowb
there? It cannot turn out any
worse than the despotisms they
have had for hundreds of years.
was talking with a Senator in
Congress who has money ventur
in that country and he declared
that Mexico was not " ready for
liberty and justice and that I was
a dreamer. If I had not been a
polite man he would have said
what he thought, I was a fool.
When are they going to be fit
for liberty and justice? How
mauy lluertas will it t a k e to
murder liberty and justice into
them ? When I asked those im
pertinent questions he was cer
tain I was a fool and deigned me
no reply. Now, if I understand
Wilson's policies he is determin
ed, so far as in him lies the pow
er, that a dab of liberty a n d a
chunk of justice shall be purvey
ed for the Mexicain.

Byron's apostrophe to the Ori

desciptive of numberless pre
cincts in the fair, thejopulent, the
wonderful land beyond the Rio
Grande: "
'Know ve the land where the
cypress and the myrtle
Are emblems of deeds that ore
done in their clime,
Where the rage of the vulture,
the love of the turtle,
Now melt into sorrow, now
madden to crime?
Know ye the land of the cedar
and vine, , .
Where the flowers ever blos
som, the beams ever shine?
Where the light wings of Zep
hyr, oppressed with perfume,
Wax faint o'er the gardens o f
Gul in her bloop!
W here the citron and olive are
fairest of fruit,
And the voice of the nightin
gale never is mnte;
Where the tints of the earth
and the hues of the sky,
In color though varied, in beau
ty may vie,
And the purple of ocean is deep
est in dye; , i '-.
Where the virgins are soft as
the roses they twine,
And, all, save the spirit of man,
is devine' "
The "spirit of man" made a hell
of this clime in the East and ever
since the Spanish conquest hell
has abided in Mexico. Despo
tism, war, rapine, murder, and
slavery have failed to bring pros
perity or content. Let us try a
little liberty and a little justice
down there.
.They may fail, but they cannot
be more disastorus than a bloody
despotism such as Huerta heads."
