BY WHAT RIGHT ?
Those intemperate and ill advised critics of President
Wibon’s course in the Mexican question base their whole
argument on the assumption that self-seeking Americans
know better what is good for the Mexicans than the
Mexicans do.
Of course, we don’t mean to say that there was ever
an exception to the rule that our neighbors are more
competent than ourselves to understand and direct our
own business, but we do offer the suggestion that such as
sistance is justifiable when enforced.
The world wags along on the opposite principle that
every individual has his own right to choose for himself—
choose he ever so badly. Though, ever since that day
when the greedy wolf found the lamb guilty of muddying
the stream from from which he desired to drink, this
principle has been subject to sudden and violent disrup
tions.
The Mexicans are a poor lo*t, they get excited when
they ought to be calm, they kill people when it is not wise
to do so; they interfere, in their family rows, with dear
friends who desire to remain among them because the
fruits of their land are luscious and—what more natural
»
than to send an army costing millions of dollars into their
land to oonquer and subdue them?
Pursuing the logical outcome of the illogical assump
tion that it is for the United States to spank them and
stand them in the corner, because they are all naughty—
what then? An interruption of our important constructive
legislation, a ruthless distruction of life, a wanton waste
of money and a nice little job which will keep us in the
conquering business for at least a half century?
And what will this country get for its pains? Good
pickings foe adventurers and some more large private
fortunes.
Is it worth the price—not merely of blood and money
but of our ideals of justice and decency?
Can we accept it that the nations, even yet, are no
more developed and enlightened, than the greedy wolf
who spied that fat and juioy beast in the stream and lost
no time in finding an excuse for surrounding it?
What have we been working toward in all these cen
turies, if we are to go back to principle that might makes
right?

STAGE-STHUGX GIRL

Young Alberta Nix Ran Away
from Macon and Rehearsing
For Musical Comedy Show.
Atlanta, Os.—'Th* alep-fathcr of
pretty 14-year-old Alberta Nix, who
rhn away from her homo In Macon, (la.,
a fortnight ago. to Join a muaical com
edy ehow, which haa been rehearsing
at the Atlanta hotel, came to Atlanta
yesterday to carry her back to her
mother, who had written her two let
tar begging her daughter to return.
Th* step-fat her, UC. Richards. of
152 Columbus street, Macon, who U
engaged In the railroad business there,
securod the address of young Albortn
from Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein. of Macon,
who were In Atlanta *Tu*sday to get
Virginia Dew Is, th* sister of Mrs
Goldstein, another young Jf |rl wl 0
ran away from home In company
with Alberta.
When the girls first came to Atlanta
they stopped at the Empire hotel, but
the show people secured Alberta* Nix
and persuaded her to Join their com
pany. and took her over to the At
lanta hotel, 32 Houston street, where
they hnve been holding their rehear
sals.
When Richards called at the Atlanta
hotel Wednesday the show people
blocked his efforts to see his daughter,
and tried to force him away without
seeing him. Finally, he secured an
audience with his daughter, and one of
the show girls, ‘'Dot” Hrnith, accomppn
nled him with his daughter to police
headquarters to get the chief to settle
the matter. Night Chief Jettt was on
duty when they arrived.
Chief Jett told Alberta that she
would have to return to Macon with
her stepfather that night, and it was
then that the other show girl gave
vent to her temper, bleaslng out the
chief and the step-father.
Chief Jett, however, stood firm In
his decision and put the young Nix
girl under the charge of Matron Bon
nefeld, until the next train left for
Macon. He advised her that If sho
had a home, and a mother, she had bet
ter return to It and not be following
any show.
•T>ot” Kmlth, the show girl, returned
to the Atlanta hotel and, In the course
of an hour, she came back to polleo
headquarters accompanied by the en
tire show troop. All beatelged Chief
Jett to let the young girl accompany
them, but to no avail. They claimed
that they had been paying the young
girl's board, and had carefully watched
over her the entire time she was under
their charge.
Chief Jett refused all of their plead
ings, and then, the troop turned its
attack upon the atep-fßther, threat
ening that they would have the man
ager of the hotel block his taking the
girl back home, as her week's board
was not paid.
The girl and her father returned to
Macon on one of the night trains last
night, and the show troop left on its
tour of Georgia this morning, minus
her services.

WAS A SECOND CHARGE.
An old negro was recently brought
before a justice In Mobile, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. It seemed that
Mose had fallen foul of a bulldog
while in the act of entering the hen
house of the dog’s owner.
“Look here. Mose." the justice
said Informally, "didn’t I give you ten
days last month for this same thing?
It was the same *ien house you were
trying to get Into. What have you
got to say for yourself, anyhow?"
Mose scratched his head. “Mars
