WANTS AMERICAN'S IN MEXICO
TO SPEAK VP
The following editorial, entitled
'Americans Here Must Not Be Sil
ent," is taken- from El Heraldo De
Mexico, published in Mexico City
The editorial was clipped from the
Mexican paper by Stanford Leland
whose present home is in Mexico and
who sent the article to his father, F.
M. Leland, at San Francisco. Mr. In
land then forwarded the editorial to
his mother, Mrs. C. Lelapd ot this
' city. The article is reproduced in
the Courier to show the Mexican view
-field by certain Americans now resid
Ing in the country across our south
, ern border: '
"The issue is plain, the Unes are
drawn and the banners unfurled and
whoever has not declared himself
wholly and passionately againBt in
tervention has aided and abetted the
dark forces that are thrusting it on
the American people.
"Every American must make his
mind up as to whether his nation is
to become an empire or remain a re
public; and every American must de
cide whether or not Mexico shall con
tinue to be a free people, working out
Its own destiny according to the spon
taneous laws of its own nature, mak
ing the costly and yet tutelary mis
takes that are the stepping-stones by
which a tree people finally mount to
solidarity and creative peace.
"The interventionists have seized
upon the crudest and striking facts
of a difficult situation, and have con
certed them into weapons for their
unholy cause. They have taken lit
tle truths and have swollen them In
to monstrous, appaling babbles to
dazzle the eyes of the uninitiated.
They have not scrupled at inventing
lies; they have appealed diabolically
io mat who name or patriotism, so
akin to the mob spirit and that needs
but some skillful sjmrk to send it
devouringly forth on the ways of the
world. They have appealed to that
Pharasaical spirit that sees the
mote in another nation's eye, and
that becomes frenzied to remove it,
though the beam In its own eye Is
as visible as moon and stars. The
Interventionists have neglected not
the vilest instrument for their pur
poses, embracing even the unspeak
able Hearst, and in their lust for em
pire and blood they have incurred
sins that somewhere, in heaven or
on earth, will be repaid them a hun
dred fold.
"They have not been silent. And
their most determined and most an
cient opponents, the liberals and the
democrats, have spoken out, too, and
have again .given testimony that in
every nation, even in one so mistak
enly famous for Its money-craze as
he United States, there aro masses of
people who are not slaves of Mam
mon, but who hold at their hearts
the torch handed to them from Jesus
and Milton, Rousseau and Lincoln.

ent ones? Half may be classified as
