Show Don't Blame Mexico Unjustly A DISPATCH says Mexicans do not like Americans, Ameri-cans, that the federal troops would just as soon kill an American as an 'insurrecto. Well, we ought to be fair. Suppose we had a little lit-tle civil war down in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, and our federal troops were to capture a detachment of rebels and were to find among the captives a percentage of Mexicans who had stolen ncross the line to help make war upon the TT,nted States. What would happen then? No Americans have any business across the line f'ghting for either one side or the other, and none ever went over for that purpose who did net understand perfectly their almost inevitable fato In case of capture. They are entitled to little sympathy from this side, for they went, not onl3 to fight a power friendly to us, but to do what. might eventually involve their own country in war. We must not expect Mexico to do what ve would not under the same circumstances. |
