Never in the world would I have sent
negro troops into Mexico, and left those
brutes a free rein to glut their passions on
peaceful Mexican toAvns.
In other Avords, if a President isn’t afraid
of a “Catholic vote,” or a Money-lust influ
ence, he Avill track the law, and do what’s
right, even when the other party is Aveak.
When Doctor Woodpile Wilson’s talk about
“valor” petered out into an attack upon the
weakest foe in sight, he Avas playing politics,
in the hope of getting a second term.
But you will ask, “suppose Carranza had
refused ?”
In the first place, it is unfair to take it for
granted that high-minded gentlemen such as
Generals Carranza, Obregon, and Gavina
will not properly respond to a proper request.
In the second place, Villa's raid did not
justify a “punitive expedition” of such mag
nitude, nor Avould repeated raids have war
ranted the policy Avhich is meant to restore
the tyranny of the Capitalists and the Roman
priests.
Our attitude should have been that of de
fending the border, not that of practically en
dorsing the revolution which Avas started in
the blood of President Madero, by Archbishop
Mora, Felix Diaz and Huerta.
If our Government overthrow’s the Consti
tutionalist Carranza, and alloAvs Felix Diaz,
and De la Barra to again set up the Huerta
despotism, then Ave become moral accomplices
in the black treachery and the atrocious
crimes of Archbishop Mora, and General
Huerta.
President Wilson is headed in that direc
tion, and therefore the Catholic prelates have
ceased to denounce him.
Wilson's 2nd-term boomers have already
selected a 4th degree Knight of Columbus to
make the Key-note speech, at the Democratic
National Convention; and that selection is
ex-Governor Martin Glynn, of Tammany
Hall, Ncaa t York.
