THEIR OWN* BED
It was bound to «ome—the de
mand of American financial inter
ests in Mexico tliat the United
States government should compel
that country, at the poini of the
bayonet if necessary, to pay for the
damage inflicted upon them by revo
lution since the uprising against
Diaz began.
Evidently these people fail to
read the sentiment of the American
public aright. National pride, pres
tige and obligation demand that the
rights of American citizens in for
eign countries shall be protected.
But the national intelligence ions
ago perceived that the greed of
some of these Ameerican interests in
Mexico had a great deal to do with
the iuclting of at least the earlier
revolutions which have brought the
republic beyond the Rio Grande in
to its pjesent condition.
And American capital has not
gone into Mexico blindly. The men
who provided it did so for personal
gain and with their eyes open. No
body knew better than they the 'risk
they were taking. It would be mani
festly absurd for a man who took a
risk in the Yukon region and lost
'•o look to the government for re
imbursement. Yet a chance in
Alaska is fully as good if not bet
ter than one in Mexico.
There is an old saying that the
man who makes his own bed should
not complain because he has to lie
in It. ^ .
It is said that the war is costiug
$27,000,000 a day. But somebody
get« the money.
Whatever may be said of the
Mexican revolutions, they art not
prod-iced by cranks.
- President Wllsou may find the
Mexican reports "exceedingly r»
assuring" on the ground that chaos
is Mexico's normal condition.
That special "Wilson tax, so far
aa the "war" part of it is con"
cerned, is probably psychological
also. ' '
Germany has added wool of all
kinds to the contraband list Who
can suggest something that
couldn't possibly be used in war?
The announcement that the
Uulted States will sell no discard
ed army rifles at present inspires
a hope that it may keep its war
ships, too.
Now ensue the days wheu who
ever started the custom °f
serving minced turkey on toast is
deemed guilty of an act not hostile
but unfriendly.
If the government sets up a
merchant marine of its own it will
open a new field of usefulness to
Mr. Daniels' "right and left" re
form.
Any rich old fellow who has
been sued for breach of prom
ise could have told the Kaiser
that the "mere scrap of paper" ar
gument wouldn't work
Chinese eggs are invading the
country by way of the racific
coast. But Alaska's cold storage
kind ought to be strong enough to
meet them.
Just at this time the conclusion
of the Lick observatory astrono
mer» that the nebular theory of
the creation of worlds is wrong is
not creating much excitement.
