Colorado fifty years ago who would take the stand that armed Intervention la Justified by civil wars and the imagined peril to American lives and property blinds himself to the facts that only since Cus ter massacre has the United Slates Government attempted to guarantee life and property safe from Indian marauders fore that time claims for indem nity for lost lives and properly were given absolutely no recog nition at Washington If you did not like the risks in Colorado it was your business you were told to keep out Now that a somewhat similar situation has arisen In Moxico it Is for the United States to submit to her own prescriptions of the Indian days If the American suffers nervous debility in the Mexico atmosphere lot him seek more agreeable surroundings but once there ho has no to as sume the part of physician The Government of the moment is the government Whether ho likes to castigate as the butcher is for his own enjoyment The man who controls the Government seal is the uppermost authority in stale Who he is or howhe came there may disturb somebodys democratic ideas but his right to be there is solely and manifest ly a responsibility on the Mexican people alone Until

last Friday alter- noon an alarm of fire was sounded at WaterWorks which was respond ed to very promptly by tho Firemen and in an incredible short two reels were on the scene followed by a big crowd people lor the dense volume of smoke arising in St Pat ricks Ward indicated considerable danger There was a slight hitch in turning on the water but within four minutes after the alarm was sounded two lines of hose were playing on fire which was consuming the dwell ing of Niagara street- Some time aftr dinner Mrs Tra- vl03 was getting ready to go oat for the afternoon when she observed a smell of smoke She went down cel lar and all through house but could nothing wrong She then went locking tho house Neighbors saw smoke issuing from the windows and and gave the alarm but when the Firemen ar rived the had secured a strong hold on tho interior thebuildlng especially at the rear Despite the hard work of the Brigade by the house was completely gutted The contents that were sav ed were badly blistered by fire and water The efficiency of the fire ap pliances was practically demonstrat ed The loss to the building is esti mated at about with insurance loss on contents about t700 with no Insurance The fire is attributed to a defective chimney I Mr Travlos who is a traveller for a Toronto lumbering concern was absent from home on his usual busi ness when the fine occurred How inconsiderable is the risk run by foreign residents is best understood from specific Illustra tions Equipped with passports from the generals of both camps our manager and two men recent ly made a trip from the United Slates border two hundred kilo meters to Monterey by utilizing a handcar on the strips of railway still loft intact Again and again they were hailed by troops but their passports were all sufficient and courteous treat ment met them at every hand It was a terrible journey in the na ture of the case but their com plete helplessness was never made an excuse for insult or in terference Similarly two of our men In an auto made a journey to Monterey through the thick of the and were as kindly treated as in times of peace If occasionally the moun tain bandits an element which both sides employ in their cam paigns and who are not repre sentative of the Mexican people at all become obstreperous and assail foreigners Mexico proper must not be held in blame for their acts any more than the Washington Government was wil ling to be held for the depreda tions of the Indians on the West ern plains The cases are exactly analogous i I 11 In m mm J Doors of King George Hotel PHONE Unmolested Travellers Mr Lukes competence to speak of Mexico and to outline a future of prosperity and national dis tinction cornea from a close per sonal knowledge of the country its people their endowments and handicaps and the numerous signals of political and social awakening How far his views of Mexican differ from longdistance surmises may be accounted for by this typical piece ofhfa own experience When the Madera revolution was approach ing its most active stage Mr Lukes by his wife and a party of Canadians made a journey from side to side of Mex ico passing through the thick of the disaffected districts asso ciating with federals one day and rebels next and never con sidered it worth while to carry a revolver Although without any title to especially considerate treatment the parly was not once molested and found the peons courteous industrious and in courteous industrious and in the case of servants conspicu ously honest The officers- of the company established at Monterey have passed in and out of Mexi co in automobiles and even in gasoline handcars meeting fed erals or rebels at every turn and finding only ready recognition of their passports It seems to me only a duty to straighten out the mass of inac curate unjust information and suggestion by which the people of Canada and the United States estimate the Mexican as a san guinary vindictive shiftless creature with no ideals and tal ents worthy of his magnificent opportunity Wo have been fed on newspaper scraps and editori al guesses We have been worked up to believe ourselves in some way sponsors for Mexican moral ity and a substantial body of American opinion would noisily endorse a campaign of occupa- No Foreign Antipathy Such a campaign on the part of the United States could rely on but one plausible excuse the des truction of the lives and property of American citizens Though any such misfortunes have been carefully guarded against by the President Wilsons Attitude

American press and public are de termined to force a crisis even if imagination be their only evi dence How painstaking are the rebel and federal forces to avoid even the appearance of foreign antipathy may be judged by the treatment of our extensive pro perties representing Ave million dollar investment during the at tack on Monterey in October last By merely raising British flags to distinguish oun buildings we escaped with about Ave hundred dollars damages while the rest of Monterey lost fully ten millions the destructive fire of the rebel attackers Our American em ployees quit the city at the begin ning of hostilities- why I do not know Probably because the Gov ernment at Washington possess ed a conviction that Americans were in peril Scarcely anyone else held the same conviction but that did not matter Those who had not means for transpor tation were furnished with tick ets by their Government as a loan of course The Canadians English and Germans remained on the spot attended to busi ness until shooting commenced and then kept within doors until the rebels were in possession of the city when they emerged to affairs just as they had left them Ono day we looked

Presi dent of Mexico forms an instance where a highly praiseworthy mo tive in a private citizen some times produces an impractical and mischievous piece of inter national policy It is a quite le gitimate proposition that the head of the Mexican republic shall be choserYby the local for tunes of war or any other means the Mexican people permit but he shall not bo chosen by a bal lot of American people or their Chief Executive No one who knows Mexican conditions thoroughly would deny that had General secured States recognition as backing for a generous foreign loan he could have raised an immense army and swept the country It is idle to aruc that would have stifled responsible government and have roestablished the Diaz autocracy The day for a Diaz autocracy has gone by Public sentiment in Mexico has been working its way to the light Re forms are demanded and must be granted no matter who holds the reins the United Stales Gov ernment insists on the continu ance of civil war until a candi date fastidious ideals steps in to the list of leaders the experi ment will play havoc wiltfthe true interests of the country Let me repeat the personal history or character of the chief official of Mexico whoever he may be at the moment is the sole concern of the native people who permitted him to reach the position It not the business of any other na tion whether far or near I am very optimistic in regard to the of if it is let alone I say that knowing thai no country having such splendid natural advantages can fail to be acceptable to the people of the overcrowded countries looking for new settlement Mex ico will likely get the next redis tribution of the worlds surplus population It was during the last fifty years that the United States was made great through the
