Should Play Hands Off.
It is a good thing for this
country, thinks one of our exchanges,
that a good, level
headed man is at its head just
at this time, and that after
March 4 another good, level
headed man will take his place
instead of a firebrand like Roosevelt.
It would be an easy matter
to plunge this country in a
war with Mexico, which it is
estimated would cost the United

men for two years at least,
one third of whom possibly
would be killed or die of disease.
This or more is what intervention
would cost us.
For this reason we are glad
that President Taft, whose
treatment of the Mexican trouble
has been very wise, and Congress
has determined to move
Blowly in the matter. It would
be unwise for this country to
intervene whenever a revolution
may arise in the various countries
simply because American
capital is invested in them or
because some Americans are
residents of them. Americans
who may live in countries where
revolutions break out should take
their chances with other citizens
living there.
We agree with Senator Tillman,
Bacon and other high officials ot
the Government, that the situa
tion in Mexico is greatly to be
deplored, not only for its rff.-ct
upon the Mexicans, but for its
possible effect upon ourselves.
The greatest calamity that could
befall us in this connection
would be for a condition u> arise
that would require or provoke:
us to intervene and endeavor to
take charge of affairs in Mexico. ;
It would absolutely revolutionize
this government. The SpanishAmerican
War did more to overturn
and re vol ui ionize ou** institutions
than did the Civil War.
Senator Bacon says "if we:
went into Mexico it is very
doubtful if we stiould ever come
out of it If we were to attempt
thereafter to hold Mexico and
govern that country it could only
be by making it a subject colony, ,
as it could never become a part
of our representative govern- J
ment." The senator is right,
and for that reason the United
States had better keep out of
the Mexican mess, if she can
possibly do so. In interveninc
in Mexico we have much to lose
and very little or nothing to
gain. So we had better keep
out of the mess.
The Times had the pleasure (?)
Monday morning of witnessing
a resident of Fort Mill paying
over to^n agent a subscription
for a newspaper published in a
distant part of the country. This
transaction would have been
of little interest to the average
person and would not have
interested the publisher of this
newspaper, except for the fact
that this particular resident was
numbered among the few who
only a few weeks ago were
dropped from The Times' list for
nonpayment of subscription. The
agent was fortunate in collecting
his pay in advance.
The people of South Carolina
are due Senators Tillman and
Smith thanks for the part they
took in the passage of the Webb
bill, after it had been vetoed by
President Taft. We have seen
no record of how South Carolina's
represent Olives in the lower
house voted in the matter, but
feel confident that they also
helped rdong with the passage
of the bill.
