WA H WITH MEXICO ?
For many months war with Mexico
ban hern a threatening probability.
It may not come at once. The do
facto government may find a way of
escape by meeting the demands of our
Government, fully, or by temporizing;
but sooner or later war will come
Conditions in Mexico make war inevitu
ble.
Mexico has never had a strong gov
ernment, except when some dictator
like Diaz was at the head of affairs.
As a republic it has been a complete
failure. Thirty-seven per cent, of the
population is Indian. Forty-three per
cent, is mongrel. Only twenty per
cent. iH pure-blooded Spanish. The
ignorunce of the people is dense. Illit
eracy is well-nigh universal. It has
been a moral and political impossibility
to weld so many mixed peoples into a
national unit of any strength, especial
ly into a republic. The bayonet and
the bullet rather than the ballot have
determined political isaucH in Mexico
aince it won its independence from
Spain. The only authority the average
Mexican respects is the sword. It is
out of this national and racial weak
ness that the raids across the American
border have come; und these will con
tinue until there is a better and more
atable government to restrain them.
Carranza has not been really hostile to
the United States, hut is powerless to
check the lawless doings of his quon
dam military associate, Villa. These
marauding incursions into our territory,
since they cannot be prevented or pun
ished by any government now existing
in Mexico, or likely to exiat there soon,
must ultimately force this country into
a war of self-defense.
The war that seems impending is un
welcome to right-minded Americans.
It is contrary to our national ideals and
spirit. We wish to help, not to hurt.
As a nation we covet no Mexican terri
tory. Relieving in liberty und self-
government for ourselves and all the
world, we have no ambition for con
quest. We have noenmiticH to grutify
against the Mexican people. We pity
them, and would gladly aid them in set
ting up a real republic. What we shall
do in Mexico in the way of fighting
will be done reluctantly and under pro
test. Our armies will go down into
that troubled land acruss the Rio
Grande because the United States must
protect the rights of its citizens.
The war, if war should come, will
not be uh short as some aro inclined to
think. Thu large territory to be cov
ered, the scattered nature of the pop
ulation, their guerilla methods of fight
ing, together with climatic and topo
graphical conditions, will make the war
a protracted one, and many brave men
will fall before a final victory shall be
achieved.
Of course, the American arms will
finally triumph. Hut what then? We
have repeatedly assured the Lutin-
American republics that wo were not
bent on any acquisitions to our terri
tory. But when poor Mexico lies bleed
ing at our feet, what terms shall we
demand of her as peace conditions?
Shall it be a money indemnity, a cession
of one or more of the northern Mexican
states, or a protecorato over the whole
country? The purpose of the war, when
it comes, will be for our self-protection.
We cannot stop short of this end. llow
far must we gojto reach it?
Noth.—Since the above was put in
type assurances of a pacific character
have been received by the State De
partment at Wa-hington, and it seems
that a clash of arms may be averted
for the present, at least. What the
near future may develop remains to be
The Dawson News tells about a visit
mude u few days ago by a party of
Terrell county farmers to Dale county,
Ala., for the purpose of investigating
boll weevil conditions in that section,
and adds:
"This is the third year that Dale
county has been infested with the boll
weevil, and the Terrell eountians found
that already cotton in the lowlands
near creeks and swamps has been en
tirely destroyed, white the plant on the
uplands has not been molested as yet.
Last year, which was the second year
of the weevil's visitation, very little
damage was done, but the farmers of
that Alabama county are nlarmed over
the outlook this year, and are paying a
cent upiece for picking the weevils
from the cotton. Dale county is 120
miles from Terrell.”
The big manufacturing concerns at
the North controlled by Republican
money are getting ready to work their
old campaign racket by laying olf their
workmen, and thus create a “hard
times” condition for which the Demo
cratic Administration may be held re
sponsible. During the past week the
Dul’ont Rowder Works at Wilmington,
Del., laidotl three thousand men, ami
it may bd expected that other thou
sands at other manufacturing centers
will receive blue slips before the day
of election. SuO> is tUc WMMtf ol

Hon. Hugh Dorsey, candidate for
Governor, opened his campaign on
Saturday last, speaking at Alma, Ba
con county, to a crowd that packed the
court-house to its capacity. He has
made speeches since at Canton and
Dallas, and at each appointment great
enthusiasm was aroused. In fact, this
able and eloquent young Georgian is
setting the woods afire wherever he
goes, and each day that passes brings
fresh recruits to his already strong fol
lowing. The opposition may combine
ami chicane against him as much at it
pleases, hut it can’t beat him.
If President Wilson could be persua
ded to lighten the load he has been
carrying by throwing overboard his
bumptious Postmaster-General and his
grouchy Comptroller of the Currency
he would have smoother sailing in his
present campaign.
Hon. T. E. Massengale, over at War-
renton, claims to he the “original Dor
sey man." We call you, “Uncle Dosh;’’
—The Herald beat you to it by a couple
of wpeks. .Still, there's glory enough
to go around, and we cheerfully divide
the honor with you.
Al! Regret Judge Freeman’s Retire
ment.
Mfriwi'thnr Vindicator.
Judge It. W. Freeman, of Newnan,
Judge of the Coweta Circuit, announced
Monday that he would not lie a candi
date to succeed himself. He had in
tended until a few days ago to make
the race, and would have been elected
without opposition. After mature de
liberation, however, he concluded he
had been on the bench long enough and
decided to return to private life.
Judge Freeman was appointed by
Gov. Terrell in 1904 to succeed Judge
T. A. Atkinson, and lian been twice
elected by the voters of the Coweta
circuit. He ranks as the best trial
Judge in Georgia, and his retirement
is a calamity to the circuit over which
he has presided so ably and impartially.
He is a man of judicial temperament
und grpat ability. In addition to this,
his character is without blemish. He
is absolutely fearless in the discharge
of duty, anil his administration has been
a great blessing to this circuit. The
writer has been associated with him as
an official for the past thirteen years,
and to him the retirement of Judge
Freemnn is a personal sorrow. This
association, so pleasant, to be broken
so soon, is a source of deep regret to
us. We know of no official who has
more richly earned the plaudit of "well
done” than the clean, able and impar
tial Judge of the Coweta circuit.
Carrollton Prop Pn»HH.
There was surprise in political circles
this week when it was announced that
Hnn. R. W. Freeman, of Newnan, would
not offer for re-election, und that his
place as Judge of the Superior Courts
of the Coweta circuit would be sought
by Solicitor J. Render Terrell, of Green
ville. Judge Freeman has served on
the bench with marked ability for a
number of years, and won the reputa
tion of being one of the best Superior
Court Judges in the State. It is under
stood that he will devote more time to
a hank in which he is interested, and
will also form a law partnership with
his son, Hill Freeman.

The Walthall Reunion.

Turman, of Scotland,) came to Georgia
and made their home in Elbert county,
where they raised a lurge family.
Capt. F. L. Walthall, of Jackson, Ga.,
is also a descendant of Edward Walthall.
Among the descendants of the brothers
remaining in Virginia are the family of
Gen. Edward Cary Walthall, of Missis
sippi. and that oi' Henry B. Walthall,
of Birmingham.
