Our Duty In Mexico,
It is inconceiyable that any true
American could want war for war's1
sake. We are not that kind of a
people, and our interests do not lie
'? Rllt WP ATP Win- I

fronted with a situation in Mexico
which is calculated to exhaust the j
patience of any person with an
ounce of red blood in his veins
It is time for us to stop quibbling
and do some real acting. Our
States bordering upon Mexico are
raided with impunity by the outlaws
and cutthroats who infest the
northern section of that country.
Our citizens are murdered or outraged
and their property- stolen or
destroyed. The defacto Government
of Mexico is not only powerless
to prevent these forays, but we
have every reason for the belief thai
the authorities are making little, if
any, effort to check them.
Everv American citv or town on
the border is in constant danger of
invasion by the bandit followers of
the Mexican leaders. No home is
safe from the destroyer, no feminine
heart is ever devoid of the constantly
incueasing fear of the brutal
ravisher. Under these conditions
the duty of the United States is
clear.
The citizens of our border States
are our own people, they are our
own flesh and blood, and their interests
are our interests. They are
entitled to the protection of the
whole nation, and as a nation it is
our duty to afford them that protection.
The Government of Mexico will
do nothing. It therefore is up to
us to do something.
We have waited for five years for
the restoration of law and order in
Mexico, and conditions are infinitely
worse today than they ever were
before. The future holds out no
hope of anything but unlimited and
. unbridled brigandage, an impossible
condition for this country to longer
tolerate because of the constant
menace to our own people and to
our own interests.
A sufficient force of American
troops should be sent into northern
Mexico to restore normal conditions
throughout that whole region, and
another force should be sent to the
border to afford ample protection to
the people of those States.
General Funston has asked for
10,000 National Guard troops. He
should have the whole 129,000
members of the National Guard.
And if they are not enough for the
service required, then volunteer
' regiments should be raised to supply
his every demand.
And if the Mexican Government
and the Mexican people do not like
such action, and offer any united
opposition to the cleaning up of this
territory, then a great volunteer
army of half a million or even a
million men should be spread over
that country like a blanket, and not
a man should be withdrawn until
every bandit has been hung or driven
from the country, law and order
restored, a stable Government established,
and the Mexican people
themselves demonstrate their ability
to govern themselves in a manner
acceptable to other nations.
We do not covet a foot of Mexican
territory. We do not want any
trouble with Mexico if it can be
honorably avoided. But conditions j
in that republic have reached the !
state where nothing but American
bayonets and shot and shell will l>e
a ^ * 1 j 1 i
or ine sngni avau.
They should get it, and without
an unnecessary hour of delay. And
they should get it in such quantities
and with such force as to forever ,
breed a wholesome respect and fear i
in the heart of every Mexican for
the power and might and justice of 1
the United States.
That is our opinion as an American
citizen who loves and is loyal to
his countrv.
We have the most complete stock
of furniture in this seetion and our
prices are right. Ask for votes.
