Now that Mr. Wilson is to be trusted with the reins of government mand his attention, and that is the pacification of Mexico. We are well aware that the Mexican problem presents great difticul- may and can be overcomé, and as time goes on it ‘becomes more and more apparent that it is up to the United States to overcome them. The truth of the whole matter is that Mexico is suftering from the same misrule from which we freed Cuba—the decadent Spanish rule. Mexico is a republic only in name. Not the first principle of popular rule has ever prevailed in that country. The, forces that have always con- ‘With misrule and oppression on the one hand, and sullen hatred and resentment on the ) other, it ig small wonder that she has been in a perpetual state of unrest and turbulance. 5 ~ President Diaz was the only ruler in her history who ever mafntained a semblance of order, and he did so solely by the use of the mailed hand. Since his day poor Mexico has seen naught but anarchy. Anarchy pre- vails there today—anarchy and wholesale brigandage. Argue as we may against the idea of intervention, the fact is daily becoming more apparent that it is the only solution. That enlightened America should sit idly by and make no effort to remedy the intolerable state of affairs prevailing there, is inconceivable. Mexico is a blot on the ‘Western civilization, and only Wetsern civilization can erase that blot. Of course every American wishes that the redemption of Mexico may be accomplished by peaceable means if possible.- But the progress being made in that direction appears to the average mind as neglible. The matter seems no nearer a solution today than it did fifty years ago. From the days of President Buchanan until today, every president has had the same difficulties to contend with there. Each has had his vex- ing “Mexican question,” and it is remarkable how similar have been the circumstances that each has had to face. Not only the present generation, but the unborn generations of the future of that unhappy land demand of us that we confer upon them some of the blessings that our forefathers bequeathed to us. « Twenty years ago Cuba was in as pitiable condition as Mexico is to- day. We have remade and rehabilitated her, and today she is enjoying that peace and prosperity which her natural advantages merit. We can do the same for unhappy Mexico. We should do the same for her. But will we do it? In a recent issue of the Bemidji Pioneer it was stated that the Bemidji team received an unfair deal and that the game was of a pugilistic nature. It might be added that it was the closest thing to it that has ever been seen on the Fosston floor and it was not started by the Fosston boys. ‘We have always tried to hold our sportsman'ship above reproach and we have been successful in doing so. W have always been proud of the clean playing that our boys have exhibited and our pride in them has not diminished in the least. Our teams go into a game to win, but it has al- ways been our motto to do so by fair means. In contrast, Bemidji teams have made the reputation to win by fair means or foul, but to win. Their basketball boys seem to be peeved because they didn’t live up to their repu- tations to the fullest extent. However, only the slightest hitch kept them from doing so—they didn’t win.—Fosston School Notes. Ouch! We can understand a business man having the interests of his home city at heart and consenting to become a candidate for a public office at the insistence of his business associates and friends, but we can’t under- stand why the individual who is always kicking like a bay steer over ““con- ditions” doesn’t get into the race and get elected so he can have things to suit himself and everybody else. We admit, we can’t understand. There’s one thing that can be said about the present municipal cam- paign and coming election and that is there are no candidates sending any of their henchmen to other candidates and telling them to get out of the race or threats of injuring their business. That doesn’t “go” in Bemidji any more, for no one is going to stand for that sort of a game thirty seconds. We know some persons in Bemidji who we believe would borrow a knife and then kick because the knife was dull. b Yes, the days of the *“put it over” bunch are passing in Bemidji and clean officials, sound business judgment and the right spirit are to reign in the future. Every citizen of the city of Bemidji is entitled to his own opinion. Maybe the whistle on the machine has frozen up. Can't hear it very plain for some reason.l We'll bite. What is the matter with it?
