The processes of Gen. Carrnnza's
mind are explicable only on the
theory ttait he believes the United
States to be a dangerous liar, or on
the theory that there is foreign in
fluence behind him urging him to
break with the United States. It may
be that both these things have con
spired together to create his entirely
foolish attitude.
It is natural for Mexicans to feel
the humiliating condition to which in
ternal political strife has reduced
their country, and that foreign troops
are necessary to li'unt bandits within
its borders. But as these troops are
there by the express permission of
the Mexican government, and as the
United States has given every assur
ance of its good intention toward
Mexico, nothing would Beem more un
called for than spasms of fear as to
the outcome.
Of course, one great and almost in
surmountable difficulty to any satis
factory dealings between this coun
try and Mexico is the Mexican's in
grained belief that every man is a
liar, and that the fairer a man's
promises and principles seem to be,
the bigger the liar he is.
Mexico lives by a finely balanced
system of falsehood, which is only
saved from complete collapse by the
fact that truth is thrown over so
completely that it does not exist to
tangle the sysem of doing business by
opposites by lies. No Mexican be
lieves another, except by accepting
the opposite of what he says. Thus,
the assurances of the United States
that we only want to get rid of ban
dits who are disturbing the peace of
the two countries, that we simply do
I not want any Mexican territory, that
I we should be extremely sorry for !
Mexico to create a situation which
would make intervention necessary,
because intervention must almost in
evitably lead to military subjugation
all these, the Mexican regards as
fair veils of lies to cover our ul
terior purpose. The American gov
ernment is dealing with an entirely
alien type of intelligence and moral
ity when it deals with the true Mex
ican. Pretty nearly as satisfactory
diplomatic intercourse could be had
with a tribe of Philippine head
hunters. The American Indian, in
his natural state, is a gentleman, a
monument of probity and honor, com
pared with the Mexican.
The other difficulty that of influ
ence bearing on Carrnnza to stir up
trouble here is not an imaginary
one. There are interests at home and
abroad that are jealous of our peace.
Particularly here at home there are
men who would count it worth many
millions to embroil us with Mexico.
They have tried evei-y device on this
side of the border to start a war;
now they appear to be working their
tricks on the other side of the bonier.
Thy are the real traitors of the
twentieth century. Who they are and
what they are doing- are matters
known to the government.
We shall now see with what skill
President Wilson handles the new de
velopment. All th war that Mexico
can make will be n border skirmish.
We shall not need to invade or sub
due her, but simply hold her. The
chief ularm concerns those Americans
in Mexico who have refused to heed
the frequent warning.? of the United
States government to lenvo that
country.

"Hat the rat" is the latest health
slogan. It is a more sporting propo
sition than "swat the fly" since a rat
is not as foolish as he looks.

"Roosevelt for Secretary of State"
