WORDS OF Caution
FROM President
-
ROOSEVELT WARNS OFFICIALS
NOT TO EXCITE ANGER OF
JAPAN OR RUSSIA.
Says Friendship Now Exists with En-
tire World and This Peace Must
Be Preserved by Observance Of
Declaration Of Neutrality.

Washington, March 11-After con-
ference with Secretary of State Hay,
President Roosevelt yesterday issued the
following executive order respecting the
observance of the proclamation declar-
ing the neutrality of the United States
between Russia and Japan:
Call officials of the government, civil.
military and naval, are hereby directed
not only to observe the presidents pro-
clamation of neutrality in the pending
war between Russia and Japan, but also
to abstain from either action or speech
which can legitimately cause irritation
to either of the combatants. The govern
ment Of the United States represents the
people of the United States not only in
the sincerity with which it is endeavoring
to keep the scales of neutrality exact and
even, but in the sincerity with which it
deplores the breaking out of the present
war, and hopes that it will end at the
earliest possible moment and with the
smallest possible loss to those engaged.
Hard to Avoid Offense.

infiames the susceptibilities of the

cOmbatants to anything in the nature of
an injury or slight by outsiders. Too
often combatants make conflicting
claims to the duties and obligations of
neutrals, so that even when discharging
these duties and obligations with scrupu-
lous care it is difficult to avoid giving Of
Tense to one or the other party. Tos such
unavoidable causes of offense, due to the
performance of national duty, there must
not be added any avoidable causes.
Friendly with All.
F'It is always unfortunate to bring old
world antipathies and jealousies into
our life or by speech or conduct to ex-
cite anger and resentment toward our
nation in friendly foreign lands. But
in a government emplaye, whose official
position makes him in some sense the
representative of the people, the mischief
Of such action is greatly increased. A
strong and self-confident nation should
be peculiarly careful not only Of the
rights but Of the susceptibilities of its
neighbors, and nowadays all Of the
nations of the world are neighbors one
to the other. Courtesy, moderation, and
self-restraint should mark international,
no less than private, intercourse.
''All the officials of the government
civil, military and naval-are expected
so to carry themselves both in act and
in deed as to give no cause for just Of
Tense to the people of any foreign and
friendly power, and with all mankind WE
are now in friendship.

for the position. President Diaz. in the
meantime, had been watching his protege.
Senor Corral. closely, and last spring,
when the Congress created the Office Of
Vice President, he was selected fo- that
post.
He is regarded as a strong man. and
one who will be a worthy successor to
the venerable President. who is now "a
years old. While it has not been official

tire from Office in the spring. Il Is gen

made his long-deferred trip to the United
States and Europe.
Senior Corral is q determinedly progress
I've man, who has won the hearts of all
Mexicans during his public career. He was
identified with the progressive develop
ment OF the State OF Sonora. both as Sec
Rotary OF State and Governor. Mexicans
and foreigners alike attribute the rapid
advances OF that State TO his able admin
istration, following in the wake of Gen.
eral Torres's long term OF service in that
position. To these men, more than any
others, is due the magnificent city of
Monterey.
Mexicans IN st. Louis are pleased that
he should have been honored by the Pres
ident, and all speak Of him as the next
President. Senior Corral is not a soldier.
but has been 4 close student OF affairs. he
IS a pleasant. affable man. a diplomat and
statesman. In general appearance he
somewhat resembles Judge Parker. the
Democratic candidate for President. His
features are somewhat similar to those
of the distinguished New Yorker. but his
short gray hair detracts somewhat from
the likeness. When this was mentioned to
him on his visit here, the distinguished
Mexican smilinsly replied:
II feel greatly iattered that any resem-
blance between Judge Parker and myself
should be noted, Is I have a very high
regard for the distinguished gentleman"
The fact that Sonora Corral Is to be-
come the first lady OF the Republic also
Is especially pleasing to the Mexicans. as
she is the descendant OF one Of the oldest
n most ar;stocratic families in Mexico.
She is q daughter OF former Governor
Escalantes of the State of Sonora. and is
a niece OF the famous Mexican General
of hat name. She is a social favorite
throughout the Republic. and will upon
the ~ascendency of her husband to the
presidency add much to the social side OF
life in the Mexican capital.

Senor Don Ramon Corral. Vice President
Of Mexico. is a man OF striking personality
and has long been identified with Govern
ment affairs in the Republic.
He first came into prominence about
fifteen years ago, when he was Secretary
OF State for Sonora. of which Monterey is
the capital. He attracted the attention Of
President Diaz by his progressive methods.
and upon the retirement of General Luis
Torres from the governorship to accept
the position Of Commander in Chief Of the
Government troops in the military district
| OF Sonora. Senior Corral was selected as his
successor.
He served two terms as Governor Of
| Sonora. when he was called to Mexico
City by the President and appointed Gov
ernor OF the Federal District Of Mexico.
This was seven years ago, and for four
years HI was under the direct observation
of the President, with whom the Governor
advised on all important questions.
The President would first ask Senior Cor
raj for an expression of his views on the
question. then give his own. and, invariably
they agreed. Three years ago. when a
change was necessitated in the Interior
Department. Senior Corral was selected for
the portfolio of Minister OF the Interior.
which position he still retains. but which
he will resign as soon rs his successor is
decided upon for this Office.
The resignation OF the Office Of Minister
OF the Interior for Mexico indicates that
he will. probably early next spring. succeed
General Diaz as the Chief Executive of the
Republic. It has been known for several
years that President Diaz desired to retire
from the Office he has SO long filled. but
there was strong opposition to his retire
ment, especially among the foreigners,
who have made large investments there.
and It is largely due to this influence hat
President Diaz occupies the highest Office
In the land to-day.
It has also been an open secret that
President Diaz was casting about for a
suitable man to succeed to the presidency
for several years. Several men have been
mentioned as his probable successor,
among them General Reyes. Governor of
Sonora: Ramon Limanteur. Secretary OF
the Treasury, and others. but the foreign
influence was strongly brought to bear in
the case OF several aspirants. while Cen
eral Reyes incurred the displeasure OF the
President, and Senior Limanteur, because
he was born of French parents in the
French Consulate, was declared Ineligible

Its silence that which It undoubtedly IN
tends, namely. perpetual bondage for the
Filipinos, the remedy is in their hands.
We could have donated to Spain a number
Of millions and annexed Cuba with equal
Justice, and less suspicion Of imbecility
than we displayed in acquiring the Phil
ippines. But we have don't our duty to
Cuba We have left her to work out her
own salvation-to take her place In the
march Of civilized nations. Shall we for
bid the Filipinos to hope for independence?
Shall we prevent their building up their
own civilization and try to force ours up
on them?
Civilization is a growth. not q dis
guise: every race must work out its civ
~ilIzation in its own way.
COLONIES.
Our duty to the F1lipinos demands a
promise Of Independence. But our own in
terests demand that We be relieved OF the
Filipinos just as soon as they are reason
ably prepared for self-government. A
colony-holding nation Is ever subject to
expensive wars with other nations and
with its colonies. This necessitates strong
garrisOns and powerful naYies, and draws
heavily Upon the treasury. And history
records no instance Of q nation receiving
from her colonies anything like an ade-
quate return for the blood and treasure
spent. England's national debt was dou-
bled by the revolt Of the thirteen colonies
1t had cost her much to secure.
The American expansionists, following
the European argument. allege tina an
nexation of the Philippines. must promote
progress. foster m mt Industry
and introduce the leaven Of civilization
into a backward and inferior race. The
evidence Of history is to the contrary.
Certainly the claim will not be made that
we can ever get back the money that has
been taken from the pockets Of our tax
payers n wasted on tine philippines.
And it is a like concern that but two
classes Of our people can hope to be bene-
fted by holding the Philippines. the class
which is always hunting for special Gov
privileges and the class which
seeks to make Of ofiiceholdinK a means of
livelihood. The latter class in the Philip
pines comprises some officials Of whom A
