HOPELESS BRIGANDAGE AND ANARCHY.
The wild Indians on this continent at first were friendly to
the whites. Had there been any sense, discretion and com
mon honesty and justice in dealing with them, they always
would have been friendly. But a war of extermination was
waged against them from Massachusetts bay, Delaware bay,
Chesapeake bay and the Gulf of Mexico clear across the con
tinent to the Pacific.
We have never wronged the Mexicans down on the border,
but for very nearly four years now it has required about half
our army to be stationed there to stand guard, and that has
not prevented the killing and plundering of Americans on
both sides the boundary, and the race beyond that border
have effectually demonstrated that most of them are bandits
and murderers, or peons ready to do anything the active ban
dits and murderers want them to do.
ff it is our business to guard that border and let the vio
lence go on. then in the interest of justice and the taxpayers
of the TTiited States it would be right to sliorten that border;
say make it from the mouth of the Rio Grande on a straight
line (o Mazatlon. That would shorten it one-half. If that
would not do. make the border the isthmus of Tuhauntepec.
That would reduce it from 1.200 ro 2.000 miles.
To do that it would be necessary to put several of those
brigands out of commission and to convince the rest that it is
a losing business to try the patience of the United States too
long: that it is a somewhat daugerous business to murder and
plunder the citizens of this country.
At this writing President Wilson still has faith in and is
dealing with Carranza, though he has tried to break his cov
enants repeatedly and has shamefully shirked his plain duty
from the first.
He ought first to have an ultimatum served on him, and if
he treats that in his usual wav. then move in earnest and give
the world the reasons and invite the states of South America
to come up and help restore order to Mexico.
If anything of that kind is started there should be a force
so great >ent at first as to make the business a quick one. Xo
four and a half to one as in our war with Mexico before. That
costs too many lives and too much money.
And when it would be over Mexico should pay the bill.
The situation there as it has been for six months past is
simply intolerable. And as it is not fair to our country and
to the peaceable Americans on the border or within Mexico
Itself; neither is it fair to otbei foreigners in that country,
and it is the plain duty of our government to move, or give
the world notice that we have withdrawn the Monroe doctrine
from Mexico.
Our government forced France to withdraw her army from
that country when Maximiliar, was almost secure on his
throne. Was that to turn the country over to hopeless bri
gandage and anarchy?
The peaches are not all killed yet. They are in full bloom,
as may be seen on the cheeks of most of the Anchorage girls
on any of these cool mornings.
With the arrival of several cargoes «>f lumber, expected this
week, there will be renewed activity in the building line, as a
cumber of new buildings have been contracted for and will be
erected as soon as the necessary material arrives here.
National politics is now occupying the limelight in news
paperdom, and will continue to do so until after the Democrats
renominate President Wilson at St. Louis next Wednesday.
The Allies and Teutons are again attacking each other with
hammer and tongs and some decisive battle will likely soon
result along the war zone.
