TO INSURE PEACE.
We have been told much of late of the sweetness of peace.
For a nation there is something very much sweeter. That is
not to be afraid. The only way for a nation not to be afraid
is to be prepared for whatever may come.
We have had a new example in the great European war
that in an emergency the greatest nations will violate their most
solemn and sacred pledges and agreements with impunity.
The only way to be safe is to be prepared to meet such viola
tions. The United States should have a perfect navy, its peo
ple should be universally trained, at least in the elementary
courses of war.
It should not rest until the limitations of submarines and
of aeroplanes is reached; it should exhaust chemistry and me
chanics to have at its command every means of destru. tion.
It should have some* more things especially important. It
honld have fields prepared to make it possible for every ear
nest man to find employment.
Such dispositions should be made as to enable the United
States to produce every needed thing that can lx* produced by
mechanics and chemistry. There are plenty of reasons for this.
It would make us independent of all other nations; it
would give to Americans the work of production; it would save
to us millions of dollars that are now annually sent away.
There should be such laws passed as would at once stop
-trikes and at the same time secure absolute justice to employee
and employer. It is baby talk to say that such laws cannot lx*
rained.
We should have such a merchant marine as would remove
■very obstacle to trade between out own and foreign countries,
: ml do all our own carrying trade on all the world’s oceans, in
American ships, to give us closer relations with foreign powers
and place us in every way in the very forefront of all the na
imis! of tlie earth.
-:o:
WHY NOT BUY NORTHERN MEXICO?
A treaty is in progress with Denmark for the purchase of
her three little islands on tin* outward border of tin* West In
dias. subject to the approval of the people on those islands.
A commission is now in session to try to determine the dif
ference between the Mexican government and our own. Why
would it not be a good time to propose tin* purchase of northern
Mexico by our government, subject to the approval of the peo
ple in that territory? To make the northern line of Mexico the
southern line of the United States the tropic of cancer. It
would take from Mexico probably six hundred thousand square
miles of territory, but it is in that sparsely settled region that
all her revolulions are hatched; it is a source of weakness rather
than strength; it is a constant expense rather than revenue to
her, the sale would reduce the border line by two-thirds; with
peace established Mexico cbuid make nothing out of it for a
century to come; a perpetual menace to her peace would be re
moved by the purchase.
Whv should a senseless pride make her cling to it? The
purchase would insure peace between the two republics; it
would be a good place to turn the tide of immigration which is
soon to begin to pour toward'our shores from Europe, into — it
would be better for both countries.
It would save to Mexico all that she now has that is of any
value to her and the money she could obtain by the sale would
enable her to set all her industries in motion. The line would
be above Ma/atlan on the Pacific and Tampico on the Gulf of
Mexico. j

expense; it would secure to us the harbors on the west coast of
Lower California; it would give us no end of cactus and some
mines. The proposition is worth considering by both countries.
-:o:
The Democratic campaign managers should not be disap
pointed over the course of the Progressives in going back to the
Republican party. In the Progressive platform of 1912 the
Progressives adopted a tariff plank that was identical with one
previously adopted by a Republican convention. In the differ
ences thai exist over the tariff question, we find the fundamen
tal difference between the Republican and Democratic parties.
A Progressive who believes in an “America First” tariff could
not do otherwise than go back to the Republican party.
-:o:
A certain Judge Hudspeth, of New Jersey, has been at
Washington, talking most optimistically about the re-election
of Wilson. “We await tranquilly,” he says, “the result at the
polls in November.” This recalls the familiar line which comes
from a prison on the eve of an execution. “The doomed man
was wholly calm,” the reporters always say.
-:-:o;
When the small Democratic campaign orators and newspa
pers are telling the ]>eople of the beneficence of the eight hour
lew, they ought to add that under the Democratic tariff revis
ion the great question, when business again becomes normal,
will not be a question of hours, but a question of getting some
thing to do at any price, _ _ _ .
