soldiery. flare Of trumpets. boom
Of cannon and pomp of ceremony
suggestive of supreme authority, but
In the actual handclasp of the two ex.
ecutives and in the exchange OF cour.
teous words which passed from lip to
lip there was simple but cordial infor.
malIty.
President Taft was the first to
speak. In simple American fashion he
assured President Diaz of his warm
personal regard and his high esteem
of the man who had accomplished 60
much. He WAS glad to know the Pres
ident of such a great nation; espe
cially glad to know the present Presi
dent who had made the nation great
President Diaz replied with equal cor
diality.
Both Presidents dwelt upon the har
monious relations existing between
the United States and Mexico. Pres
ident Taft declared that this meeting
was not necessary to make stronger
the bonds Of friendship; 1t merely
typified the strength of the bonds al
they already exist.
There were less than score Of per
sons permitted to witness the meet
ing Of the two executives. Even these
were excluded later when President
Taft and President Diaz withdrew
into an inner room of the Chamber Of
Commerce building, where the historic
meeting occurred and were only At
tended by Governor Creel Of the state
of Chihuahua, former ambassador to
the United States, who acted as In
terpreter.

shifted from time to time from this
thriving little American city across

table feast ever served on the Ameri
can continent.
1t was at this banquet that the more
formal and public expressions Of re
gard between the two executives as
the representatives of the people Of
the United States and OF Mexico were
exchanged.
The banquet also marked the end
of the day of International pageantry

"Our state has contributed no less
than six United States senators to the

congress, not including its own two
senators. Among these are Francis @.
Newlands, the exceedingly clever
statesman from Nevada. and George
F. Chamberlain. who was elected to
the senate as a Democrat in the over
whelming Republican state of Oregon
Both these national legislators are of
Mississippi origin, and so is Joseph

Texas.
Another son of whom we are
proud is Secretary Of War in Mr..
Taft's cabinet. and it is doubtful
whether there is any one of his Off

be considered. Baltimore American.
