WAR WITH MEXICO.

It has been evident to close observers for a long time that sooner or later the United States would likely get mixed up, of necessity, in the internal dissensions in Mexico, and this has at last occurred. It is indeed regretable that we have become entangled in this affair, and it is not improbable that the wiley Huerta has planned that it should be so in order to save himself from what seemed to be the utter innihilation of his forces and the assassination of himself if he fell into the hands of the rebels. In our opinion there has been but little choice between the two actions fighting or supremacy of the factions fighting for supremacy in Mexico, the federals, perhaps being the more intelligent faction of the two. But the Mexican people, as a rule, are not a peace-loving nation. a large majority of them would rather fight than work and they are not particular who they are fighting, either. If no other foe presents itself, they will fight among themselves, and this is what has been going on for some three years, to the great detriment of that country as a whole and the sacrificing of thousands of lives and the destruction of untold millions of dollars worth of property. The repeated insults to the United States has at last brought about what, no doubt, both factions desired—-practical intervention by this country. Now it is evident that the two factions will unite and join hands in fighting this country, and when the smoke clears away we may reasonably expect, that Mexico will be a part of the United States. But war never stops- where it is expected to at the beginning, and tills present trouble may mean much more before it is ended than the mere pacification of Mexico. It will probably mean, even if confined’ to Mexico, a long and expensive struggle and a guerrilla warfare on the part: of Hie Mexicans which will cost us, many lives and much wealth from our treasure chest. But Mexico is a very rich country in mineral wealth, and her acquisition would not be so undersirable if its treacherous ‘people could be exterminated. \Ve have always: felt that both President Tass and President Wilspn were to lie coin mended for keeping out of this embroglio,and i)o'» that it has seemingly come to a head where nothing but a warlike policy is possible, all patriotic citizens of the United States, reg.udidss of race, color or political affiliations, will join in upholding the President and his advisors in whatever policy they may deem best to further pursue in this matter.

Women In Politics Making For Better Race

By Governor HIRAM JOHNSON of California

WOMEN are responsible fop the new philosophy of government. This new philosophy is worldwide—-belongs to no party, no sect, no sex. This new phi-

losophy believes that the GOVERNMENT’S PURPOSE IS TO MA K E PEOPLE IIAPPI E 11, TO MAKE THEM BETTER. The only successful government is the one that succeeds in doing this.

THE ATTAINMENT OF THE BALLOT BY THE WOMEN OF CALIFORNIA HAS ADDED NOT ONLY A GREAT MORAL RESERVOIR OF RESOURCE, BUT THERE HAS ALSO COME A PROGRESSIVE FORCE, UNHAMPERED BY THE TRADITIONS OF PARTY THAT SOMETIMES MAKE MEN SLOW TO MOVE ON TO NEW THINGS. IF WE CAN BRING MEN UP TO THIS STANDARD, THEN PARTISANSHIP WILL DISAPPEAR IN THE CONSIDERATION OF BETTER THINGS FOR HUMANITY.

Only Way to Avert War Is to Be So Strong as to Discourage Attack

By Commodore A. V. WADHAMS, U. S. N., Retired

NO foreign foe can ever take the United States. We can never be subdued, but we can be very seriously injured, and great loss—in dollars and cents —can be occasioned us. We are all of us anxious for peace, but the whole history of the world is there to show that THE ONLY WAY TO AVERT WAR IS TO BE SO STRONG AS TO DISCOURAGE ATTACK. Without any idea of acquiring our territory other nations may find it to their commercial advantage to weaken and cripple us. THE WEAK ARE EVER A PREY FOR THE STRONG. We may be scrupulous in the observance of our treaties. OTHER NATIONS MAY NOT HOLD THEM AS SACRED. Anybody who reads and thinks knows that for the United States to enjoy lasting peace it must be strong enough to discourage envy and resist attack. In other words, WE MUST HAVE A STRONG NAVY. THE GREATEST WORLD POWER IS ENGLAND. HER NAVY MAKES HER SO. EVERY PAGE OF HER HISTORY TEACHES THE SAME LESSON. BUT FOR HER NAVY SHE MIGHT TODAY BE BUT A PROVINCE OF SPAIN AND THESE UNITED STATES WOULD NEVER HAVE COME INTO BEING. SHE HAS BEEN AND IS GREAT BECAUSE SHE RULES THE WAVES. WITHOUT HER NAVY SHE WOULD BE A FIFTH RATE POWER AND INDIA AND HER COLONIES WOULD BE TAKEN FROM HER. ■ Y.V

Vivisection Not an Aid to Science

By Dr. RICHARD COWEN of Royal College of Surgeons, London VIVISECTION OF ANIMALS AS A METHOD OF RESEARCH IS WRONG AND MISLEADING. THIS MUTILATION AND TORTURE HAVE LED MANY EARNEST MEN ALONG THE WRONG ROAD OF RESEARCH. FOR MORE THAN A QUARTER OF A CENTURY I HAVE PRACTICED SURGERY. I HAVE PERFORMED THOUSANDS OF OPERATIONS, YET CANNOT RECALL A SINGLE INSTANCE IN WHICH I OWE ANYTHING TO PUBLIC REPORTS OF VIVISECTION EXPERIMENTS. It is my deliberate opinioiNhat vivisection as a method of research is wrong and misleading. It is a TERRIBLE MISTAKE to think that disease in animals and in man is the same. ■ In an effort to find the cause of cancer ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND ANIMALS HAVE BEEN TORTURED in the List two years, with no resulting diseoverv. If the time used along thv BL(M)i) STAINED PATHS OF ANIMAL VIVISECTION hail been spent in studying the disease from a clinical point of view and its natural history in man it would not be necessary now to announce the disease incurable except by the knife.
