The present revolution. II you will call

/ thieves and bandits has been trying to
stir up an insurrectIou Just across the
border. so that they could rob. steal. and
murder. if necessary. under the guise OF
'revoIUuonists They have a paper in
Il Paso published by a woman, which IS
continually melting 70 riot. and ought 20
be suppressed by our government in the

inferior beings. entitled neither TO rights
nor 70 courtesies as citizens or as men.
I IL IS no wonder that such treatment Is
sometimes resented, as Il ought 70 be-
Mexico has a strong government IN
President Diaz and q score Of worthy and
patriotic men whom he has gathered
around him IN the national and state
I Offices. who would be a credit 20 any
country Vice President Ramon Corral
IS also a strong. true man, and T. as
does not seem al al likely, Diaz should
die before his term IS out. tire best men
OF the country would rally around Corral
as his successor.
The Mexican army. II IS true. IS made
up largely Of drafted men. but e Is well
equipped, and has no reason 70 leave the
I present rulers 70 follow some broken
down soldier or politician whc might
among the people 70 get himself Into
power The truth IS that there have been
a dozen rIots IN the United States over
labor questions IN the last twenty years
which were worse than any sort OF il
surrection that Mexico has had in that
time

Tt IS true that the Republican candL-

eats with his knife. or al least 7 have
seen an account Of Il in tire papers" said
Henry H Heinrichsen. a lumber man. OF

on business and thought ne would run
down 70 Washington before going home"
Referring TO the incident, 4Ir- Heinrich
sen said that al our early Presidents ate
with their knives He said
I Washington. John Adams. Thomas Jef-
I ferson. James Madison. and James Non

knife. John Quincy Adams was the first
u President who ate with his fork And
his wife felt Il necessary 70 e-7lain 70
the guests ar the White House thar 'IIr.
y Adams had learned 70 eat with his fork
while in France. and that he couldn't
overcome the habit Andrew Jackson rs-
stored the republican simplicity of eating
with his knife. They all poured their
tea OF coffee into their sauce-s TO cool Il

when he was President could be seen
in the streets Of Washington early II

How 90 know these ilCidenIs2 Wen.
We must be ready 70 answer our political
opponents Il they should bring IN Jhs

the proper thing

% strongly IN favor Of Taft Bryan has
many followers. Il Is true, but not enough
70 overcome the Taft sentiment
There is only one source from which
trouble might arise. and that is with Ia
