CITY OFFICIAL
WILSON'S Wilson has shown some of the spunk of which he is capable
SPUNK in emergencies, when he issued instructions that the battleships
of the United States woudl remain in the waters of the Mexican coast until
rhey received orders from him to leave them.
Huerta's demands that all foreign ships leave the Mexican waters within
the period of six months will be ignored by the American government, and
the chief executive will run his navy as he determines is best for the country
at large.
Neither Huerta nor any one else can boss the American navy, but that
navy's commander in chief. Wilson has determined upon the policy that he
will assume and he has given the Mexican authorities notice that his ships
will remain where they are as long as he sees fit to keep them there.
Such a declaration from the chief executive of this nation amounts to
throwing down the gaunlet at Huerta and his faction, and means that the
Mexican leader will either have to make good on his threat or back up on
his own statements. He is hardly likely to admit that he is the cause of the
strained diplomatic relations that exist between him and the United States;
but any move that he would make toward the exclusion of the American ves
sles would be but a declaration of war a declaration that even that piratic
murderer would hardly dare to make.
It is pleasing, however, to notice Wilson's prompt action in the matter
and his ready determination to brook no interferance from the Mexican chief
tain as to the management and direction of the American men of war.
So long has the United States tolerated conditions that the trouble-ridden
country assumes that it will dcf-so forever and that th eleaders of that state
may play freely with the Americans or American forces who are there. But
there is a commander-in-chief in the U. S. who has determination enough
in his make-up to put a quietus on any
state, and to say that he will assume
management of the navy of the United
that the Mexican president may impose.
There is also another feature to this declaration on the part of the presi
dent, and that deals with his announced policy of non-interferance. Should
the Mexican government, at the expiration of the period, declare that the
American vessels would have to leave
rest in the president's hands as to whether these United States could longer
brook the intolerable attitude of the pusillanimous chieftan and accept from
him the instructions as to the disposal of the navy at a time when the lives
and property of the citizens of the country are endangered.
From indications that have been forthcoming in the Washington dis
patches it is apparent that he will ignore the attitude of Mexico ,and that any
consequences that result will be upon the head of the leader who starts the
trouble.
The developments in the situation
strained relations that exist between
have grown so tense that it seems but
the attitude of peaceful suggestion will
more definite will have to be done. What that is, of course, rests with the
president, and is a subject that has probably been discussed in the councils of
the nation.
MOLALLA'S Many of the visitors
CELEBRATION the Portland, Eugene & Eastern were astonished at the
metropolitan way in which that little city entertained the vast throngs that
had gathered there for the day's fun.
A program that was interesting and entertaining occupied the attention
oi the crowds throgh the morning and afteroon, and the thousands that were
fathered there from all parts of the section of the state found not a dull
moment from the time that they arrived until they left late in the day.
Molalla has started out to be a city. It has al lof the ear marks of one
now. It has a bunch of enterprising boosters who are constantly thinking
up new schemes for the improvement of tVe city and for the advertising of
its resources to the outside world. The center of a vast territory unexcelled
in natural resources, there is no reason why it should not, in time, become
one of the thriving communities of the state. '
