what they call intervention to be a

They misjudge the United States, and
disregard the absolutely convincing
. proofs that they are in error in hold

of this country in influencing the pub

FHE United States is unquestionabv one of the GREATEST
WORLD POWERS. She is great simply because she is
so vast and ricli and powerful and not because she has strug
gled for her position like the great powers of Europe. You
see, no nation is going over to tight the immense republic. But the
United States can make herself felt in international affairs because
she has a good navy and can make it stronger than that of any other
country whenever she likes without any great sacrifice on her part.
She can HIT WITHOUT BEING HIT BACK.
BUT REMEMBER THAT IF THE UNITED STATES IS GREAT IT
IS BECAUSE OF THE ENTERPRISE AND ENERGY OF HER RICH
MEN. OF COURSE EVERY AMERICAN WHO HAS WORKED HARD
HAS HELPED TO MAKE HIS COUNTRY RICHER. BUT. THE RICH
MEN HAVE DONE MORE THAN THE OTHERS. THAT IS WHY
THEY ARE RICH.
- The great business men and the great businesses of America are
the most wonderful and admirable features of the country. In en
terprise and efficient organization they set an EXAMPLE TO ALL
THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD.
Now, there is a determined effort to destroy or check the big busi
nesses of the cotintry. Believe me, if you destroy the big businesses
. of the. country you will ruin your country, and if you merely check
their growth you will CHECK PROSPERITY.
THE MOVEMENT TO DESTROY THE TRUSTS CANNOT SUC
CEED WITHOUT RUINING THE COUNTRY.
The trusts are the best thing that ever happened for America.
They are simply the climax of successful business and successful or
ganization. They mean that some great industry is conducted at the
LOWEST POSSIBLE COST WITH THE GREATEST POSSI
BLE EFFICIENCY. They cheapen the necessaries of life and" dis
tribute better products.

view the performance of this disin
terested office by one nation for a
neighboring republic in deep distress.
At the end of the tivil war Mexico
was occupied by French armies and
a monarchy had been set up there,
with a brother of the present emper
or of Austria as emperor. The invad
ers had considerable support among
the aristocrats, ruling officials, and
some church authorities, but the mass
es of the Mexican people were sub
merged and practically unrepresented.
Scarcely a month after the surrend
er at Appomattox Gen. Grant, with
characteristic promptness, decided
that ending the intervention in Mex
ico should be one of the objects of
placing a large army in Tsxas where
the surrender of the Conferedate
forces h"d not "been fully consummat
ed. He chose Sheridan for the com
mand and notified him by order dated
May 17, 18G5, that he had been as
signed to the Southwest. Sheridan
had hoped to share in the Grand Re
view in Washington a week later,
but Grant said the situation was ur
gent. His written instructions to
Sheridan were lengthy, but no refer
ence was made to Mexico. This part
ri r tt-t r i r -
of the mission was stated by Grant
only. He told Sheridan that he look
ed upon the invasion by Maximilian as a
part of the rebellion and that the suc
cess of the United States government
would not be complete until the
French and Austrian troops were com
pelled to quit Mtexico. At the same
time, as Grant told Sheridan, it would
be necessary to act with great circum
spection, for Secretary of State Se
ward disagreed with Grant as to the
concentrate of troops along the
border. Ne. " two years passed be
fore the inva. .3 were all out of Mex
ico. In his memoirs Sheridan describes
the careful tactics by which ho help
ed the Mexicans recover the full ter
ritorial control of their country, yet
without crossing the Rio Grande. The
silent pressure applied by Sheridan,
who had no less than three corps of
Union veterans in Texas, was effec
tive, but not finally until the begin
ning of 1867.
"I doubt very much," writes Sher
idan, "whether such results could
have been achieved without the pres
ence of an American Army on the Rio
Grande.'' It is safe to say that the
policy of the United States was de
cisive. This country acted with mag
nanimous friendship toward Mexico,
asking no return, and putting aside
the temptations that Louis Napoleon
and Maximilian suggested through in
direct channels. We wanted none of
Mexico's territory then when it could
have been had by helping the strong
against the weak and struggling.
Since then the United States has twice
had troops in Cuba, but not to "in
tervene" in the sense some Mexicans
give the word. W. :i order was re
stored our forces ' wrer withdrawn,
and the Cuban flag went up as the
token of self-government as long as
the people of the island refrain from
fighting each other or go into schemes
that would bring bankruptcy. The
United States has saved both Mexico
and Cuba from foreign territorial
ownership. Our "intervention" is not
another term for selfish greed, and it
is illogical as well as ungenerous in
our Mexican neighbors to view it in
that light.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
WEED'S LECTURE PRAISED.
OREGON CITY, March 5 (Editor
of the Enterpries.) I beg leave to
repeat in order to emphasize some of
the valuable suggestions made by Mr.
H. Evarts Weed, the landscape archi
tect, in his address at the High school
last evening. He referred to the ab
solute necessity for trees in the park
ing strips to make a city beautiful
and said that they should be uniform;
and in order to be uniform they shoul l
be planted under the supervision of
a Park Commission, nt a committee
of the council, but an independent
board. He showed streets surpris
ingly like our own, decorated only
with telegraph poles.- Oregon City
has wonderful scenic possibilities by
gift of nature but the planting of
trees has been so generally neglected
that little has been added to our orig
inal gifts, but instead handsome trees
are being frequently cut down and
almost none put out to take their
places. Rose hedges are" attractive,
but they do nothing to relieve the
glare of the sun on the sidewalks in
the hot days of summer. A park
commission with power to plant trees
could transform our bare streets in
to avenues of beauty.
Mr. Weed also called attention to
our unimproved parks, another gift
of nature, and of Dr. McLoughlin.
Only one or two are having anything
done to them and apparently only
three of the six have ever been
touched by the hand of man. There
is- no reason why McLoughlin Park,
now taking on new attractiveness un
der, the care of the Woman's Club.,
should be the only public beauty spot
in the city. Library Park, as it might
be called, is just now in chaos, resalt
ing from the erection of the library
building. Who is to put it in order
and make it a fit environment for
the building? The two parks by the
Barclay and High schools afford splen
did opportunity for simple landscape
gardening, in conjunction with the
adjoining school grounds. Who will
do if there is no Park Commission?
The school grounds Mr. Weed said
were "bad". He said this, I think,
simply because they are bare, cheer
less and characterless. Nothing in
them but the walks that cross them.
Here is a chance, not only for city
work, but for civic work. If the
children were interested in improv
ing their respective school grounds,
as children have, in so many places,
it would cultivate their civic pride
and lead them also to beautify their
own homes.
- Furthermore, why shouldn't the
children of Oregon City have a play
ground? In reply to the usual re
sponse that they have all out doors
to play in, what more do they want,
Mr. Weed replied, "Yes, but what do

planning for the welfare -of the child
ren and the beauty of the city? To
quote again from Mr. Weed: "The
city of Chicago shows an increase of
juvenile delinquincy of 11 per cent
in a recent year but at the same
time a decrease of 34 per cent in those
neighborhoods, adjoining the munici
pal play grounds." Here the whole
city can be practically in the neigh
borhood of a playground and juvenile
delinquincy can ba prevented before
it has well begun. A playground
could be installed for use during .the
coming summer when most impera
tively needed and would repay large
dividends, not only, in health and
pleasure to the children, but in en
hancing the attractiveness of Oregon
City as a place of residence and in
building up civic pride and virtue.
This city was intended to be the
most beautiful in the Willamette Val
ley. It only needs the active and in
telligent cooperation of its citizens
with nature to make it so. We are
certainly indebted to the city council
for bringing Mr. Weed and his views
before the people.
GEORGE NELSON JED WARDS.
BRUNS TELLS OF WAR
CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO, Feb.
20, 1913 Editor The Enterprise: As
the Mexican war news is heralded
through the columns of the newspa
pers throughout .the land in big
head lines depicting the bloody con
flct between the Federals and Rebels
for supremacy in Mexico it may be
of interest to the readers of the En
terprise so will endeaver to writs a
few items from this old town Cindad
Jaurez, Mexico, where I am at present
staying a few days.
Ciudad Juarez with its narrow
crooked streets lined mostly with one
story flated roofed doby build houses
and a few brick buildings, streets
crowded with motley -looking crowds
of Mexicans, sidewalks lined with all
kinds of hawkers and peddlers trying
to sell their wares, and numerous dis
ipating looking beggars . insistently
begging for alms, old looking vehicles
drawn mostly by Mexican burrows or
poorly fed Mexican ponies and occa
sionally you see an auto, thus, Juarez
represents a typical Mexican city of
about 15,000 inhabitants.
While here I tried to Interview a
number- of business people most of
whom coulj speak fair the English
language, about the Mexican war now
that a bloody battle is being fought in
the City of Mexico. People in this
city are greatly agitated and hesitate
to express their opinions as they dont
seem to know who is who or what the
war is t'.bout or how it will end. There
seems to be so many factions that are
hopelessly mixed and to keep on fight
ing until something better comes to
view seems to be their only salvation.
Juarez is a stragategic point Qt?xt
to the City of Mexico on account cf
its close proximity to the Unite"
States boundary line in case Uncle
Sam takes hold of the Mexican war
this city will be the place likely to
see some excitement.
The inhabitants of this city are
rather inclined to be mutual, yet there
seems to be a war like spirit develop
ing among the people. Frequently
little squads of soldiers are marching
througnt the streets to the soi:nd of
the patrotic fife niii drum corpse and
many parts of the city temuoriar?
garrison have been erected -vhere the
drilling of soldiers and th-3 receiving
of new recruits are going . dally. In
fact, thev are making every prepara
tion for war and'as Meic:i::s are
of a quick tempered excitable nature
a bloody conflict can be hourly expect
ed, hence the reason Uncle Sam is
rushing his soldiers alll along the
Mexican boundary.
Ciudad Juarez has barely recovered
from the late "battle of Juarez" that
was fought sometime ago. Many cf
the buildings about town still show
the effect of bullets and cannon balls
piercing its walks and were totally
wrecked by shot and shell crumbling
the doby houses to dust.
Ciadad Juarez is an interesting
town, business done mostly by Mexi
cans, but few Americans in business.
Most Americans you see are tourists
This town is one of the main tourist
towns of northern Mexico and is visit
ed annually by thousands, especially
sporting people, as this town is noted
as a spjorting town where you can
visit the horse races, "some of the
best" ever' day in the year. Bull
fights and fist fights are common.
Every Sunday a bull fight in the great
aerena with its usual horrible blood
curding acts of cruelty to both man
and breast takes place and it is not a
common sight to see on the streets
or elsewhere to see a full pledged
cock fight gong on surrounded by an
excited band of Mexicans and perhaps
a few Americans shouting their glee
