Our Policy Toward Mexico Should Aim to
Advance the Masses
| By BENJAMIN F. YOAKUM, Railroad President and Financiej
THE policy for Mexico should be constructive, not destructive. Tiie
American people will approve and support a great international con
structive policy for Mexico's future. The readjustment of differ
ences between this country and Mexico through diplomatic channels,
while Mexico continues under strict military rule without due regard for
the future welfare of the masses and for the fundamental principles that
the people of all nations fight for UNTIL THEY A HE FREED FROM
OPPRESSION, VILL NOT MEAN LASTING PEACE OR A
GUARANTEE AGAINST FUTURE REVOLUTIONS.
There are several important factors in solving the Mexican problem.
The solution is small homes owned by the people, with farm and trade
schools; the substitution of the plow for the gun; the establishment for
the masses of factories for industrial and domestic work. Thus the peon
age svstem will become extinct and the Mexicans become a pari of the
republic's futuro upbuilding.
Formulato a governmental policy, one with & definite purpose in view,
one that will gradually advance the condition of the masses through edu
cation and home owning.
There is another important factor in which a big economic question
is involved. The problem of the world's food supply is growing more diffi
cult, with respect to both price and quantity.
THERE IS NO SECTION ON THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING AS MUCH FOODSTUFF TO THE ACRE A3 THIS COUN
TRY DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE RIO GRANDE RIVER.
increase sales of American, products
in. China. Yet the tarfif law en
a-cte by his party at the behest of
the President, under whom Red
field serves, cut the duty on, tin
so that America is now buying tin
(rem China, for the first time in
our history. Wheai all its legisla
Mcu has tended to increase Chinese
sales iu the Unitd States, it is 'he
height of absurdity for any mem
ber of the present administration to
issue publicity statments about
its efforts to increase sales of Am
erican products there.
New type, a wholesome atmos
phere and a determination to be a
benefit to the community in which
he is living seems tc> be thei spirit
ejected into, the Wrangell Sentinel,
under the new publisher and editor,
J. \V. Pritchett. Leading his first
issue- with! "Wrangell an Ideal Lo
cation for a Large Paper Mill,"
this popular moulder of public
opinion, ha® st-ruak straight! from
the shoulder, informing the resi
dents of that city just what a fine
healthful little city they have cast
their lot in. He has announced
that he will make a strong local
paper, independent from politics, fa
voring Territorial prohibition1 and
paving as its prlocipJe the ad
v ntement of Wrangell.
A western Democratic paper says
'hat "Democratic! Apathy hasf been
Stirred by the Results in Maine."
before the Maine election we
were assured that there was no
"Dtmocratia Apathy." Wonder
what the explanation will bo after
the defeat in Xovemiber.
A man should always have the
courage and conviction to do what
is right, and wha* is for the inter
est of his principles, no matter
whether he represents a< corpora
tion or an individual.
There are many men who are
much better as clerksi than as in
teresteid partners. If you give then
t>owev !t spoils them. Many a good
man has been spoiled by taking
him ad a partner.
Ycu can't tell a good man; by
looking at him, nor can, you tell
him bv his refutation. You must
winter with him and summer with
bim. year in and year out, before
you know him.
It is we'll 'o be economical, but
it is coor policy to bold the reins
-o iis;ht on ones business! that it
prevents good results, orl pr&cludes
ihe possibility of dolngi business
economically.
