' WTTH CLKAX HANDS E iTCEPT a few, the congressmen and senators of the United States are In accord with Pres ident Wilson as to Mexico. Ex cept a few,-the people of the United States are massed solidly behind the president in. toll Mexican policy. In Portland, one of the few assails, caricatures and cartoons the presl cent. - No higher example of Justice and humanity. has ever been set than is the patient effort of Woodrow ' Wilson with the Mexican people, Hta leadership has been such that whatever mar be the final resort, the acts of the United States Involve no selfish purpose or cover no ambl tlous design, r. We are not seeking territory south of the Rio Grande. At Mo bile. President Wilson said:. "I want to - take . this occasion to say that the . United States will never again seek one additional foot of v territory by conquest." The ideals " of this ustjourirere never morepe fectly expressed. The. traditions of this original experiment In self gov ernment were never more sacredly cherished than in this utterance of , the statesman .who is successor to Washington Jefferson, Madison and Lincoln. .: As a nation, we stand on the banks of the Rio Grande with clean hands, t We are not aggressors. Wo are not on the Mexican border for purposes of Invasion, aggression and exploitation. We are not there with cannon colonels and cavalry. : '"We, have sought and are seeking peace and stability In Mexico, not the torn and bleeding Mexican peo ple. We have opposed Huerta, not for ourselves, but for the safety of self government and freedom on the Western Hemisphere. We are op posing Huerta, not for the American people, but to prevent assassination and bloodshed from becoming a suc cessful means of transforming gov ernments and overthrowing consti tutions and republics among the weak nations of our continent and on the continent of South America. ' ' We have not sought to change the Institutions, the customs or the pur poses or Mexico, what we have done has Tieen to-bold up Huerta and his unspeakable conduct to the execration of civilization and by ex posing, him and his desperate and bloody associates to the blighting scrutiny of mankind to forever con demn their crime against constitu tional government and the people of Mexico, There was need for some strong hand - to check Huertalsm. There influence in behalf of the torn and mutilated republic. With firmness and yet with gentleness, with power and t yet with marvelous patience, with determination and yet with an almost parental tenderness - the United States through its chosen leader has brought an arrogant and defiant conspiracy to bay, checked en armed, despotism in its mad career, and Is ultimately to restore constitutional government to. an en slaved people and probably without firing a shot or sacrificing one American life. ' What other course should we have followed? Those who criti cize must take the alternative of recognition of the assassin and ap proval of his present regime of ty ranny, or insist upon armed inter vention... The last soldier of the war of 1812 died eight years ago, and a century after that conflict, we are still paying pensions to 199 wid ows. Fifty years after the rebel lion, there are still 462,000 Civil war pensioners on the federal pay rolls. The , cost or the Civil war was so stupendous that If the gov ernment had paid 410,000 apiece for the slaves and then freed them as a means of, averting the conflict, millions would have been saved. Yet, every assault on President Wilson's V Mexican policy is insist ence that we should Invade Mexico, mow down all opposition with shot and shell, bombard all cities that resist, police the country, guard the British oil lands with American trnrvne and Mihlln thkra mwh... from three to ten yeara. It is known that the war depart ment In case . ot hostilities figures tn a Mexican army of at least 600, 000, and at least three years with the sons of American mothers under arms in Mexico. It would mean the racriflce of thousands of American 'vcs, the expenditure of millions of money, and. JbV future distrust and enmity of every nation in the hemisphere. It would mean the payment of .pensions to survivors for 100 years to come, and would mean empty sleeves, wooden limbs, new made graves, vacant chairs, .. sad dened homes and sobbing mothers all over the United States. It is the cruel way. Woodrow Wilson's is the Christ ian way. It is the civilized way It is the way by which to stabilize progress and bless' mankind. MEN IN TUB DARK T HERB ought to be sympathy with the mayor's effort to found a work place for the sightless. They need employment. They ehould be given a chance... To such of them as, have little initiative and slender resource, eternal darkness is an almost fatal handicap. There are things ' they can be taught to do. There is productive effort in which they can learn to fill a useful niche In human affairs, and escape thereby' the dreadful monotony of an enforced and L de moralizing idleness. There is a way by which they can Join .the - grand army of the world's workers, and by the pro cess reach the delightful realization that, they are not dependents but self - supporting and self - reliant atoms In the great social order. There is service they can render from which they can gain main ten ance and escape the melancholy al ternative of asking alms by flaunt ing their defects in a bid for sym pathy on the streets. In a properly balanced . clviliza tion, whenever it shall be reached. the maimed and halt will not have to ask for charity on the street cor-, ner. The great human heart of that beautiful time will mark tin sparrow's fall and take note of the man who limps or the man who gropes. Even now, In such measure as we pursue our own affairs to the neg lect of the maimed and marred are we near or far from a Tamerlane or an Ingomar. Whether we are as -Christianized as we - boast our selves is tested out by the reckless ness with which we crowd our thoroughfares with those who ean- not live without alms. Mayor Albee exalts his high of fice when he leads a movement In behalf of those who are In the dark. It will be creditable to him and an honor to his city if the plan shall meet with a successful outcome. - 1 AMERICA'S ECONOMIC ASCEND ANCY. RITING in , tn Century Mag azine two or three months ago a British publicist de clared that If the question were submitted to Canada as to whether or not she should annex the United .States, there would be a vir tually unanimous vote ' in favor of annexation. He added, however, that the economic result would be the same If the United States an nexed Canada. The forward pace of the people of the whole continent would be the same as that of the United States. And this Is because Canada lacks geographical and eco nomic balance. The artificial bar rier which extends across the Do minion's southern border forces transportation to follow unnatural lines. Rivers, lakes and valleys along this boundary flow north- and south. The natural outlet for Can ada's traffic during certain seasons is by the southern route. Eastern and Western Canada are separated by 1200 miles of infertile country. The demands of physical geography decree that all this vast region be part of the" same nation, and, ac cording to that writer, this will be the Inevitable outcome, despite the unwillingness or indifference of the congress at Washington or the hos tility or blindness of the parliament at Ottawa. This robust talk will remind Eng lishmen, Canadians and Americans of the san.ityw.fio often and so elo quently expressed on this subject by Goldwin Smith. Canada can have no future of which its people can be proud except in political union with the United States. Until recently the Dominion's growth has been comparatively slow. Its ad vance, indeed, did take a spurt In the decade ending with 1911, but even then Its gain was only 32 per cent in the decade, whereas the United States has often passed this mark in ten years. And the United States, too, the larger country, in making this proportionate increase, was compelled to add much more to Its population than was Canada. Moreover, In making .this 32 per cent increase Canada had a great and rapidly .expanding country on its southern boundary, to draw upon. While the Dominion's growth has been large in the past ten years, It has been much smaller than was expected, and it has been a grievous disappointment to the government at Ottawa and to the land boomers in Manitoba, Alberta, British Co lumbia and Saskatchewan. " An im mense emigration has , taken place from the United States acrqps the border, as we have repeatedly been told by the premier and the minis ter of the interior, but the compara tively, slow rate of Increase shows that many Americans' make only a short stay In the Dominion.' . ,. The truth Is, as astute Canadians realized generations ago, the crown ing blunder In their career was the refusal of their people to cast their fortunes with those of their neigh bors to the southward when the parting of the ways came in, 1776. Had ' the fourteenth colony Joined the other thirteen at that time, in setting up a government of its own, all Its subsequent history ' would have been changed for the . better, With a larger aggregate area than the 'United States, its ' population, instead of being only 7,000,000 as compared with 92,000,000 for the United States, would probably be at least 20,000,000 by this time. Montreal would be more populous than St Louis,; Toronto would be far in the lead of Boston, and Winnipeg would have left - Portland out of sight. by this time. , Had the four teenth colony . been predominantly English, as the others were, in the aggregate, it ' would have . Joined them, and all of North America would have stood shoulder to shoul der in the battle for liberty. ' But Canada was predominantly French, having been under the British flag only since ,1763. They Catholic French knew that George III was granting them privileges in their religion such as their neighbors to the southward, where ' all faiths were to be on an absolute equality. would never concede.' Taking that narrow view of the situation French Canada's decision was natural! Nev ertheless she sinned against the light, and from-the consequences of that blunder millions of English as well as French Canadians have suf fered to this hour. VICE AND MENTALITY JtTDGE OLSON of the Chicago municipal court in' an address before the purity congress at Minneapolis discussed the con tributing causes of vice. He based his opinion on statistics gathered by the Chicago vice commission, sup ported by records furnshed by other sociological workers. This study showed that ignor ance and mental deficiency took more womeninto the underworld than any other cause. Most of them entered the life before they were seventeen years old. Concerning a Chicago house, run by an able and Intelligent woman, Judge Olon eald It was reported that- this woman had among the Inmates In her house, grad uate ot well known women's colleges. Our Inquiries showed that not a single girl In the house had passed the gram mar school grades; nearly all admitted having diseases, and It was plain that ome were feeble minded. All claimed to have entered the life of prostitution at early ages before seventeen. If this "high class" house had Inmates it of whom were Ignorant, most of whom were diseased, and many of whom were feeble minded, what could be expected of the minor houses .in the slums. When the Chicago morals court was established an inquiry was be gun as to the ages 'at which fallen women brought into court had left school. Since April last 8548 cases have t)eenK handled and the school records of 564 women secured. Of 54 girls who passed through the court in April only two passed through the fifth grade. In May there were 87 and 1; in June 94 and 1; in July 48 and 1; Jn August 58 and 2; In September 90 and 4; in October 63 and 4. Only one high school graduate was found among all the women who passed through the court In seven months. A New Yorkjprobation officer was quoted to the effect that the major ity of girls 16 to 20 years old com, ing under her observation have a mentality of not mare than 9 or 10 years. Of 144 girls examined at the Wisconsin industrial school 65 per cent were found to be men tally deficient. Mental deficiency occurs in all classes of socJetyruT 'lt Is Caused more often by' infectious diseases. Drink, tuberculosis and lack of nu trition also contribute, but the he reditary defectives are In the large majority. This classy said to form 75 per cent, of the total, seldom de velops ..mental Intelligence beyond that of the normal child of 12 years. Judge Olson's program for sup pressing vice is' comprehensive. He says, the subnormal child must be located and properly cared for. The mentally, mdrally and physically diseased, both male and female, must be segregated for purposes of sanitation. Legislation should pro vide for their care and custody. If necessary, they should be isolated in farm colonies, the sexes In sepa rate Institutions. There should be publicity of facts concerning the social eviland dis semination of knowledge pertaining to social diseases, sanitation and standards of living. Public school teachers should be equipped for pre senting to children facts concerning the origin of life. And while all this is being done a relentless war should be prosecuted against men and women who commercialize vice. It Is worthy of note that Judge Olson did not attribute any girl's downfall to low wages. He Is un doubtedly right in saying we have tolerated a system which preys upon the mentally deficient. : ' ., . t ; THE'GREAT SPEECH By Dr. Frank , Crane. r Was only 20 tons; 477,000,000 tons I will be produced ; this ; year.
