This country lias no more right to in- 1 terfeare with their war than they ' would have to interfere with a trouble; ' nmnm? the nonnle of Texas or anv f( ? . other State. When the Mexican trouble broke out, the United States ( was full of hot-heads whose voice was ' for "armed Intervention" by this coun- 1 try, not for any justice in the cause, " but simply for the sake of getting into a war. Since then this country has lieen given opportunty for stber re- 1 flection by the ev?nts in Europe and ' there lias l>een an entirely revised es tiniate of an impulsive rushing into ' war. Mexico has needed weeding v out A satisfactory job is being done and it will be accomplished without ? the sacrifice of American life and money. A slaughtered hog weighing 300 *' pounds will bring more today than a 500-pound bale of middling cotton.

Then into the hide of the uu- r suspecting elephant, The Record i>ops 1 its stinger. "At that* time there was Theodore Roosevelt in the White 11 House, Republican majorities in Con- ?' gress. and the Dingley tariff on the '* statute book."
