THE MEXICAN SITUATION
The proximity of Mexico to the
United States and the much over-worked
Monroe doctrine makes the 'J. S. gov-
ernment's relations with that revolutiona-
ry rent republic quite complex, and the
assumption of certain implied responsibil -
ties places a burden upon this govern-
ment that is irksome and without par-
allel in the annals of modem warfare,
and perhaps too much is expected ol
this nation in the premises.
YOUNG AT FIFTY
Are we to get rid of the obssession of
old age?
We have been in the habit of think-
ing men or women at fifty, and perhaps
our *lv'nlring and their own has hadtmuch
to do with their growing old before their
time.
A man at fifty should be at the very
prime of his powers. He should have
twenty-five or thirty good years work
ahead of him.
Recently a number of eminent Ger-
man scientists, artists and others gave
ihier opinions on this subject.
One said a man at fifty is not even
beginning to grow old.
Another stated that the man of fifty is
of higher superior intellectual worth.
On account of his reliability, steadiness,
rational living he possesses countless
physical and moral advantages over a
younger man
The president of the Royal academy
Although Americans have been sum- asserted that artis's do the r best work
marily executed by millitary authority or
both sides, it is evident, with possibl>
one exception-that of Vergara—the
victims were fortune hunters or advent-
urers who had taken upon themselve:
the hazzards that are apparent to any
sane person who goes into Mexico at
this time, or even remains there after the
warning message issued to all Ameii-ans
in Mexico some time since. That of it-
between^he ages of forty and fifty.
What right thinking and living, sans
and wholesome exercise, elasticity, pe.-
enial interest and constant occupation a
congenial tasks, the normal man or woman
should be useful, happy and hale up to
eighty, ninety or even the century mark.
There is every reason to believe that
the future man and woman will be so.
Why cannot we as individuals antici

the guise of millitary exploitation, and
nobody knows the conditions that abound
and the dangers that beset foreigners in
that revolutionary accursed country bet-
ter than those who are going thene, and
thtre are hundreds of Americans who
go into Mexico and assume the risks vol-
untarily. and when one of these venture-
some ones runs the guantlet the Jiagoes
of this country wail themselves hoarse
for armed intervention and criticise severe-
ly the Washington govomment because
it does not sacrifice thousands of other
Americans in order to appease the rath
of jingoism.
The Benton case, even though he
was wantonly murdered by that chief of
living murderers—Villa—is not sufheien1
grounds for a declaration war, although
England demanded this drastic measure
as the means to prevent it from disre-
garding the Monroe doctrine in its de-
(nand for reparation. He was not a cit-
izen of the United States and had no
special claim upon us for his protectioi
then it is evident that he went to Vilk
of hit own volition, knowing his charac
ter and disposition and subjected himsel.
to the danger that beset him, and it i
therefore less obligatory upon us to make
such streneous demands upon an irre-
sponsible de facto government as to pre
cipitate hostilities.
It should be the duty of all American
rlfijHii to avoid all risks of inolving thi
nation in war, if they really are good cit
izens, or if not, and assume such risb
without regard to consequences, they
deserve little consideiaton.
As the Gazette sees it, there exists
only one just cause for armed interven-
tion. That cause is a marcenary one,
in the interest of humanity. But under
the present age of intellectual attainmen
we ought to be able to solve the prob-
lem peacefully. It is evident that both
contending factions are incapable; that
the leaden are only a lot of Latin-Amer-
ambitious bigots and despots who
are seeking more power and self agrand-
isement than the blessings of good gov-
ernment for the revobbooary accursed
people of benighted Mexico. This could
be accomplished by the united action of
the great civilized powers of the world
refusing recognition of any authority es-
tablished by millitary despotism and de-
nying aid to that force from any source
whatsoever.

OKLAHOMA'S WANTS
Oklahoma always wants the best the
market affords. We want that because
our people are entitle to it. Eugene
Xerr of the Muskogee Times-Democra
sizes the situation up correctly when he
says:
"Every representative Oklahoma sends
o Washington has an advisible 'cash
value' as an advertisement to his State.
People throughout the country, and es-
pecially in the East, look upon that com-
nunitv as big which sends big men to
the National Capital. Just as a reputation
for having strong athletic teams will lure
students to a college, so young men will
be drawn to a State whose people dem-
onstrate entei prise and intelligence by
jiving to the councils of the Nation men
,vho rise above the ordinary in govern-
•ient aflairs.
"In selecting United Slates Senator
lext fall this fact should be taken into
consideration by the people of Oklaho-
ma During the 1912 presidential cam-
paign, no Democratic speaker was in
greater demand than Senator Gore,
with two exceptions, Woodrow Wilson
and William Jennings Bryan. Thous-
ands of letters from all parts of the coun-
try poured into headquarters demanding
the services of 'Oklahoma's famous son'
In short Senator Gore's reputation is es-
tablished; it cannot be taken away.
It probably would take years for a new
man to reach a similar position, in fact,
but few of our representatives ever ac-
quire more than local tame and do little
else than go to Washington, attend to a
few routine matters and draw their sala-
ries. People do not connect their names
with state they represent, for who cares?
"A big man is always an advertise-
ment—and the best in theworfd—to his
State; a little man never. And besides,
is it not true that a Senator whose pow-
ers are recognized throughout the nation,
is better able to get what his State wants
than a man who is not admitted to the
room where the throne stands
ONE YEAR OF DEMOCRATIC RULI
President Wilson has now servet
one full year in the White House, anc
no president has ever entered that Whit<
House who has been so persistent anc
agressive as he, in fulfilling the promiae;
made to the American people by the
Democratic convention which nominater
him in July, 1912. Furthermore, there i
no parallel in the world's history where s
ruler of a great nation has made such ;
profound impression on the civilization o
the world in so short a time as one yea'
as President Wilson has. He has prob-
ably made a few trifling mistakes as n
man is perfect, but he has not made an
serious mistakes and the entire countr
gives him credit for absolute sincerity,
honesty,, patriotism and masterly states-
ship. The most glorious of all, howeve",
is the fact that no corrupt or questiona
ble deal has been put through congres
during his administration, and you ca>
gamble on it that if any such deal shoulc
get through congress, it would promptlj
receive the veto of that great incorrupti-
ble statesman who presides at the White
House.

.. , . The theatre management oivs to its
jinion was quoted a leading dramatic
r patrons the duty of seeing iha'the ineiu
ritic in New York city had been ex-
uded from certain theatres by the
nanagements. and the court sustained
ne rights of the managers to refuse ad-
ussion to whomsoever they chose for
hatever reasons. Thus, in general, a
,ieatre proprietor, before the law, s
.eld to be engaged in purely private
.•uterprise which he may conduct as he
ees fit. He may cancel performances
„t his pleasure.
The view of the law is that the sa •
>■ a tlieatre ticket by a theatre is the
issuance of a mere license to attend a
.erformance, and this license may be
rsvoked by the management. liven
tfter the holder of a ticket has been
tmitted to the theatre, but before he
ms taken his seat, the management
nay revoke the license and require that
he holder of the ticket leave the thea-
-r. If he refuses he may be lawfully
jected, provided no more than neces
.ry force be used. The holder of the
icket who is refused admission may
oly recover the cost of his ticket and
uch expenses as he was put to in reach-
jg the theatre—in other words, his
nrect financial loss. In a few cases,
.here a patron was ejected without
dequate reason, damages were allowed
or tne insult offered, but this is uoi
(cnerally done, especially where the
mnanement had auy reason for revok-
ing the right to attend the performance
vhich the ticket holder has purchased
If, through a mistake, a patron i:
.iven a ticket calling for the wrong
t at or gets into the wroti^ seat, he
nay be required to change to another
eat, and if he insists and causes a
listurbaoce he mav be forcibl> removed
Juiess he becomes disorderly, however
le may not be tjectad from the thea
ere.
While a theatre is a orivateenterorise
the state may, nevertheless, exefcise a
*ide degree of control. It may censot
.ne entertainment offered through prop-
er officials. Thus a moving picture
louse may be required to show its
ilins before an official censor and se-
cure his approval before displaying
tnem to the public. Sunday perform-
ances may be prohibited, safety and
sanitation iusisted upon, etc.
In some states the legislatures have
r-gulated the tight of a theatre to re-
iuse to sell tickets to whom it will In
tacb states the rights of the theatre go-
ers are increased by the privileges and
rights granted by special law. In not
a few states this legislation has beeu
aimed to prevent any discrimination a
<aiost negroes, an 3 where state legis-
latures have so acted the courts have
enforced these laws. Illinois, for in-
stance, has specifically enacted that no
theatre may deny admission to anyone
Because of race or color, or bar from
tbem any class of seats. Where such
a statute exists, the theatre management
oo longer bas the broad right of refusing
admission to whom it will, which was
spoken of above.
The activity of the ticket speculators
is a phase of this question that is of no
little importance to the tbeatre-gomg
public. Law makers and theatre man
agers have joined in efforts to stamp
out this evil, yet not with complete
•nccess. That the judges have not all
looked upon ticket speculation as ao
evil is shown by the following quotation
from a judicial opinion:
"The sale of a theatre ticket at ao ad-
va«h.s upon the original nut chase price.
