THE MEXICAN SITUATION.
IT looks as If Uncle Sam would even
tually have to step Into Mexico
and, after, In a nice way, explain
ing to the Mexicans the real signifi
cance of the Stars and Stripes It will
then bo up to Uncle Sam to take Mex
ico under his fatherly and more expe
rienced governmental guidance.
Mexico should rightly belong to the
United States It Ib part of our conti
nental body, through which the arter
ies of tra'lo circulate. Mexico hns vnst
undeveloped resources there Is much
American capital already Invested
there this should be protected and
conditions made possllilo whereby
Mexico could bo thrown open to sys
tematic American development.
There are far more reasons why the
United States should welcome Mexico
into the statehood family thnn there
were for tho mixing Into the Philip
pines, Porto Rico or Cuba.
The fact of the building of the Pan
ama cnnal with American capital Is
sufficient reason alone.
The Panama canal is the result of
American brains, capital, energy and
perseverance It Is the birthright of
succeeding American generations and
it Is up to the present generation to
protect that birthright.
American sentiment seemB to be In
favor of the acquiring of Mexico and
the Indications nro that President
elect Wilson will prove to be the man
of the hour.
No matter how political vlows may
differ concerning Roosevelt, It is safe
to Bay that were he president during
tho culmination of the Mexican trouble
tho United States would have stepped
In long ago, for two reasons, If no
others first that Teddy would have
seen his opportunity and second Ted
dy likea the fighting game,
President Taft, perhaps, saw tho op
portunity perhnps he did not but
anyway, Its too late for him now.
Will Wilson act? The chances are
he will, and quickly, too.
The preBS dispatches slate that the
Turks and Allies are resting. The Al
lies will probably be called Into ac
tion before the Turks unless some spe
cial occasion arises because Thanks
giving and Christmas are a long way
off.
Mayor Stecves and gentlemen of tho
council the columns of The Capital
Journal are open city attorney sal
ary, etc., etc. you know. If when
how soon Isn't there any answer
or does this continued sllonce mean a
veiled admission that you were wrong?
It hns been decided that there will
be no donkeys In tho Inaugural pa
rade at VaBhlngtou on March 4th.
Wise decision. In view of the har
mony, unity, organization and sweep
ing victory which characterized the
recent Democratlo landslide there is
no need of continuing the donkey as
tho Democratic party emblom.' It
should bo loaned to Roosevelt until
again needed.
