The intention of tlie interventionist.'s
to make ail possible capital out of tlie
recent killing of a number of Amer
icans in tin- state of Chlliauliua is dis
closed in tlie luror now being ralaetl
over that unfortunate incident. The
bun! gi.tubers and boodle lords evi
dently recognize tbat this i» perhaps
their last opportunity to get a whack
t Hit- uncut Mexican pie and they are
ligurulively, going to raise heaven
and curUi in an enueuvui to force the
government into sending an .trim
lorce into Mexico tu smooth liic way
l"r their iiiueliiimuoiis i ue pi, s* re
ports indicate plainly enough that Hit
killing of those seventeen Americans
hus been made the pretext for u tre
mendous effort to force the admlnls
* lration to adopt extreme measures i, j
bringing the Mexican situation to u
focus by taking charge of the coun
try "until such time as it is sufe to
'ithdraw " as Senator Works resolu
tion puts it. This in effect will mean
that, in the event of American entry,
the troops of the United States will
not be withdrawn until such time as
the interested ones have secured what
they want. And that means about
everything ot value in the country that
t hey can get their hands on.
It is not believed, however, that the
administration will allow itself to be
bamboozled into doing something that
hould have been done n year or two
ago or not at all There are doubtless
i i . few good Americans who will not
grei with tin- view that matters
hould lie left to take their natural
' nirse in Mexico, especially now that
auditions are gradually assuming a
more settled state under the direction
i the Carranza government. We have
i ready become the laughing stock of
the world because of our vacillating
politics wllli regard to Mexico but to
liter at the present time will be slm
p. adding further cause for levity,
"sides disclosing clearly that our plea
f i umanftarianlsm has a far more
go ildf: purpose than appears on the;
- trfuoe We have admittedly made a
st sorry mess of things In our hand
p. ot the Mexican situation but It
si if evident fact that \ve cannot re
eerii tli< mistakes of the past by at
i..pting to do in the present what
e should have accomplished when
matters w-.r • ,n a far worse state than
hey are now To assume that the
killing f i fev Atr erlcans is a sufll
■ lent excuse tt force ourselves into
tlie country now, after we have stood
Indy 1 iv while ten and hundreds of
Americans and others whom we were
supposed to protect were ruthlessly
hiughiered during the earlier stages of
• revolution, is nothing less than
publishing to the world that we have
liven utterly cureless or regardless of i
ue principles of that lofty human!- I
i inanism we are so prone to prate of :
i.- the key note of our actions In deal
ing ' th others. Aside from an iii
i onsequential meddlng, we have left
Mexico to Its own devices for so long
inn to interfere at the present time
is simply to stamp ourselves as untrue
the things which we hold forth In the
■sight of mankind as the standards of
our conduct beside giving ample
ground for the surmise that we are
alter something more than the mere
pm ideation of the country.
CURING HYPHENITES
tSeattle P.-I.)
Occurrences of the past year in Am
erica give tlte president of the Uni
ted State* ample occasion for empha
sizing the obligations of American
citizenship.
The citizen who love* another coun
try better than America is alien to his
obligations und a conspirator against
the welfare of his fellow citizens. What
we have to do is to pursue such course
and exercise such judgment us shall
sustain tiie power and authority of
tills country und contribute to its wel
fare and support. No oilier measure
of conduct ts possible for American
citizenship. To do else is to destroy
our national hegemony und to make
of America a hash of conflicting na
tionalities oN doubt this is precise
ly the fate that some of the nations
of Europe would wish for us, and no
doubt this is precisely what will never
befall us.
The difference in .the attitude of
this union of states and the uttitude
of the average old world nation toward
its people is, in some respects, the dif
ference between grammar school and
i nllege discipline. The laws of auto
cracy leave no room for individual In
terpretation. liberty's law places the
obligation of citizenship largely In the
keeping of the citizen himself. The
lapse from such obligation that Eu
rope would punish by death, this coun
try endures in silence.
Tiie liberty of America is a Jewel
placed in the keeping of Its people,
and its neglect or misuse Is an Indica
tion that the Individual is not worthy
of the responsibility or tiie privilege
of Its custody.
v nation of one hundred millions of
people it is not surprising that a few
unworthy ones, a few misfits have
< rcpt in. It is rather the more surpris
ing that so few hate proved ufiworthy
>f tlte trust imposed In thbml
No nation In a time of peace ever
suffered the hold and Impertinent med
dling ,ot another J atlon, that thlrf
country hus suffered In the past year.
It has been a severe test of the na
tloiuil temper and of the nutional poise,
but we have followed the course of hu
mane and temperate and Intelligent
action. If tills has encouraged aliens
among ns to greater excesses, then the
temper of America lias been very
er 'iitl> misunderstood.
Hut our recent experiences have ini -
posed a closer scutiny on citizenship
and Its obligations. Political expediency
as too often Induced a benign atti
tude toward the different nationalities
\ inerlca We have been prone to
encourage the citizen of>feen birtli to
•ain ids old country friendship and
ifflliatlnn. The tireat majority of
these citizens are as loyal to our in
stitutions as the native born. They
j themselves would welcome a closer
ilheslon to the obligations of Amer
' .iii patriotism.
it is not as Germans, or English
men. or Frenchmen, or other alien
races, that We of this nation may en
dure and progress and retain our lives
ml our liberties, but as American cit
izens.
The president of the United States
h is spoken for the whole nation in
t *iis regard There will be no differ
ences of American opinion about it
The hyphen has been served with a
writ of restitution, and If it does not
move out it will be put out of com
mon use, and promptly.

SOME HINTS
ON BEAUTY
iIjos Angeles Times.)
A certain cx-popular acrtess is con
tributing beauty receipts to the wo
man’s pages of the newspapers. Blush
ingly, we admit a deep interest In the
beauty of women. Wherefore wo are
"nnt to scan these fascinating columns
that out of the fulness of our knowl
edge we may some day lend some
unendowed sister the benefit of our
advice.
The ex-actiesB begins by assuring
us that jov is the first requisite of
beauty, that and beautiful gowns, pre- j
ferablv rich and costly, since cheap j
clothes ever detract from beauty.
"Women.” says this lady, “pursue j
beauty In the wrong way. They try
to stimulate it with rougo and cos- j
metics, whereas they should secure
harmony of surroundings, artistic en
vironments and stimulate their beauty
ny joyous and artistic activities. Per
sonal beauty cannot flourish In unlova
l\ surroundings or cheap clothes. The
woman who desires to enhance her
personal appearance should clothe her
body in wonderful clothes. .
There is yards more of It, just like
that. \nd it all appears in the col
umns of a newspaper devoted to ’’The
People."
It explains so much that we had
never understod before. How justi
fied are those dear struggling wives
who shower daily reproaches on in
efficient hubbies. Well they know that
b> willfully failing to make slews of
money in their horrid businesses, they
are brutally denying woman her logical
pursuit of beauty In the only way that
can bring success.
.Vo wonder so many sisters bemoan
thr- awful necessity for sacrificing their
ihastity. How else can they secure
those wonderful clothes, those Joyous
ictivltles, those harmonious surround
ings The vet*y essentials of beauty ^
ire so often cruelly, shamelessly tie- |
rfied them by a despicably unsympathe- :
tic employer nr an impossible hus- I
aand.
And yet . . what of the artists'.’
What is that they pet slat In saying
,i bout the nude? We seem to remem
ber certain great ones foaming at the
mouth when some silly prudes harped
on the desirability of drapery. How
i ii ti have they assured the world that
beauty unadorned is the only real i
beauty, that a woman with any claims j
to beauty can only be depicted sans
even a wisp of chiffon if they are to
do justice to their subject?
These conflicting arguments are very
disturbing. But there is one thing
to lie said for the artists; their meth- i
ods are much simpler and less expen- ;
stve. And even the beauty specialist
prattles of art. Most any women can
afford the nude. That would obvlatcj
the annoyance of cheap clothes, any-!
I
way.
For our own part, we will never be,
guilty of condemning a woman to i
cheap clothes and inartistic surround-^
iugs. We shall recommend her to stand
firm for beauty and wear rich and,
wonderful clothes—or none.
