THE MEXICAN PROBLEM
Much lias Inca said and written about the M'-xican situa
tion, \vliic*li lias be* n a thorn in the side of tin* two last admin
istrations at Washington.
liven man on the si root has a solution, which, if adopted,
he believes would dispose of Hie vexatious problem for all time.
Tlics< solutions vary from establishing a strong patrol!
along the border, thus preventing the Mexican.- from crossing
the line, and allowing the people smith of us to fight among j
themselves t*> if ir hearth- emit ill, to the invasion of Mexico!
by a strong American force and annexing tlx* whole country.
These two proposed solutions are extreme. There are
many who advocate mor< moderate steps, maintaining that
peace can be maintained with the southern republic without
resorting to extremes.
For seven or eight years tin* American government has
adopted middle of the road policies, atld the situation today
is more acute than if ever lias been.
It is apparent that the Mexicans can not be depended on to
recognize a policy of forbearance.. If they are to respect the
American republic and people, tin* only method to be used is a
show of force si * overwhelming that even the most ignorant
peon of Mexico will Ik* made to realize that Mexico is far trom
strong enough to resist the big country to the north once it is
really aroused.
It is wrong, however, to suppose that the conquest of Mexi
co would be an easy task. The Mexicans have been fighting
among themselves so long that while the material from which
tlx* soldiers are made is poor, the long service in the field has
made really good soldiers of them. Added to that the ditticulty
of the country to lie traversed and the intimate knowledge of
it- formation posst ssod by the Mexican, would make an inva
sion by American troops a task of great danger.
It is apparent. Iiowev r .that something drastic must by
done if this count r\ i- to rid itself «*f tlx* trout.I ■ on the I aid *■•.
It affairs are to be allowed to drift along as they now are, it
means <ndh-- trouble and complications.
The fear has been expressed that if ever the l liited States
attempts to conquer Mexico, it will Ik* the signal for an attack
by Japan. It is a possibility which is not without foundation.
Fnder these conditions it would appear that now, while the
rest of the world', including Japan, is at war, is the psychologi
cal moment to strike, and once and for all settle the Mexican
problem, even if a war of extermination is necessary.

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOURS?
♦
Up in the morning at 6 a. m.
Out on the lawn breathing the fresh air, smelling the roses
and listening to the birds sing in the nearby trees.
Breakfast at (i:.*iO; a little coffee substitute, a piece of
toast; a dash of violet perfume.
At work at 7:30 a. in., singing like a lark and feeling well
disposed to all tin* world.
Throughout the morning cheery smiles, handshakes, glad
greetings, joy, wit, birth and laughter.
Noon, more joy at the club and another dash of violets.
Afternoon, supreme joy happiness, excruciating delight.
Supper, dash of roses, quail on toast and a glass of nectar.
After the supper, the opera, brilliant company, sparkling
wit, the movies, a dance or two, taxi.
To In d at 2 a. m.
The next day a repetition of the first.
This is the way we don’t spend our time. How do you
spend yours?—Tacoma News.
Cordova is to have a Fourth of July celebration. How
large it will be and how vigorous will depend upon the contri
but ions made to the general fund which is now being collected,
it is up to the people of Cordova to supply the funds with which
to make the wheels go round, and from the start made yester
day the Fourth this year in Cordova will be .one long to be re
membered.
Authors have joined the American Federation of Labor.
\IP uvi to i ad >mne of tin- modern drivel one is inclined
to hoist the come-in sign to the day of the strike when these
unionized writers will abandon their typewriters for picket
duty. Perhaps some strikebreaker will produce real literature.

The Burnside mixed up with the wire again yesterday, and
the latter came out second best. However, we are hoping the
■ able ship soon will be back in drvdock, after which we can
asonably expect a period of uninterrupted communication
with the outside.

Perhaps we should be -glad' that President Wilson’s
rhetoric does not lead to war, but there’s an otfset in the fact
that it leads to foreign contempt.

W ilson says he wants the support of no hyphenates. It is
iow up to Hughes to make a similar declaration. If he doesn’t
he won’t get the support of Teddy, and that will mean much to
him.

A sound citizen can “think America” in other terms than
shrapnel and fire balls. Patriotism is not necessarily disagree
able without the smell of saltpeter.
