WAR WITH MEXICO WOULD BE UNFORTUNATE
The Wilson administration seems to be displaying wisdom and
conservatism in dealing with the Mexican situation. So far they
have failed to recognize the unstable and despotic government set
up by Gen. Huerta, who if reports are true, had Madero and his
associates murdered and usurped to themselves the powers of Gov
ernment.
It seems that our government realizing, that Huerta is unable
to restore peace or maintain a stable government in Mexico, has
sent Governor Lind as a personal representative of President Wil
son, to confer with the American Embassy at Mexico City with a
view to opening up negotiations with Gen. Huerta for the purpose
if possible of arranging amicable settlement of Mexican affairs. If
the mission of Governor Lind is misconstrued by the Mexican
government, and resented as an interference to embarass the pres
ent Huerta regime, Uncle Sam might be called on to cross the Rio
Grande to bring order out of chaos. Such a course would be dis
astrous to Mexico and cost this country many precious lives and
millions of dollars, and divert the attention of the American people
from the necessary reforms that the democratic party is about to
put into operation.
The conservative Spanish-American press is advising a peace
ful solution if possible. Mexico is a country of wonderful unde
veloped resources. It is said to be the greatest mining country in
the world. Considerable foreign capital is being used to promote
her industries and their enterprises are being greatly embarassed
by the present state of anarchy existing in the Republic.
It is claimed that a concerted action by the “Interests - ’ is be
ing made in connection with the opponents of the Democratic gov
ernment in the United States to bring about war. They figure
that the strong arm of Uncle Sam would soon restore order in
Mexico, and while he was doing that it would divert the attention
of the American people and their representatives from the much
needed tariff and currency reforms that is not very pleasing to the
“System” that is bent on plundering the people.
Mexico is no small country. It is larger than Great Brittain,
France, Germany and Austria put together. It is 2000 miles long
and from 130 to 1000 wide. In 1893 it contained 12,491,373 peo
ple. One third of these are native Indians, about one half are
half breds, with a mixture of Spanish and Indian blood. The
others are largely Spanish, who represent the higher class.
In the Mexican army there arc many Japanese officers, and it
said that the present government is offering very liberal concessions
to Japanese settlers. It may be, should our army invade Mexico,
they would also have to contend with the little "brown men” as
well as the Mexicans. At any rate it would be no small undertak
ing. And just at this time when the Democratic party, reinforced
by the strong hand of our great President, is endeavoring to wrench
this Government from under the dominion of the trusts, it would
be quite unfortunate to engage in a broil with ou; neighbor across
the Rio Grande.
Governor O’Neal, of Alabama, has announced the appointment
of Congressman Henry D. Clayton to fill the vacancy in the United
States Senate caused by the death of Senator Johnson. It seems
that Governor O'Neal has disregarded the advice of the Democra
tic leaders in the senate by appointing Mr. Clayton without express
authority from the Alabama legislature.
It is feared that he will not be seated. The Democratic mar
gin in the Senate is small and this complication coupled with the
fact of the serious illness of Senator Culberson might jeopardize
the tariff bill in that body.
Our friend Col. Robert N. Hardeman, of Jefferson, has an
nounced as a candidate for congress from the tenth district. Col.
Hardeman is able and clean and has many friends in this section
who wish him success.
Judge Carl Vinson, of Baldwin, has also announced. He too
is favorably known here. We suspect there will be warm times in
the tenth when the political pot begins to boil. The redoubtable
Thos. E. Watson will no doubt take a hand and when he cannot
stir up something interesting, there is simply nothing doing.
Decidely the most important legislation that has come up be
fore the house this sessian was the tax equalization bill. The vote was
taken last Tuesday and stood 85 to 85. It was untied by Speaker
Burwell, who voted in favor of the bill;
Governor Slaton sent a very strong message to the house
Monday morning in favor of the bill, and again calling attention to
the depleted condition of the treasury.
The entire press of Georgia mourns with the big hearted,
genial Hal Stanley, our popular labor commissioner, in the tragic
death of his son, who was killed by lightening, some few days ago
near his home in Dublin.

We desire t<> call tlic attention of
our readers to the strong article on
‘Womans Suffrage”eopied from the
column in the Macon Telegraph,
edited By .James Calloway. This is
the best and strongest presentation
of theqnestion that we have yet seen
The gist of it all is ‘‘that the bal
lot for women will strike at the un
ity of the home. The Stress is
placed on the fact that God intend
ed for man and wife to be as one.
One in mind while two in body.
Sam Jones said ‘‘.Man and wife
should be as one, and when they
are not the devil is to play ’.
The experience in Ancient Rome
with this fad it does not seem would
be very reassuring to our milit ou.
