Toward the close of the ordeal this
afternoon Col. Cooper began to show
signs of distress. Before time for the

THE NEE TING OF THE
PRESIDENTS
(From Goodwin 5 w el,lvl


Today our President met and
is being banqueted by the old
fighting chief Of the Mexican re-
public. From his capitol, the
Mexican president came to the
borders Of his country-a thou
sand miles-to do honor to our
President. He brought with
him the superb state service.
which is only brought out when
guests OF high degree are to be
entertained. Wealth and art
and taste were exhausted to
show to our chief magistrate the
esteem in which the chief
magistrate OF a sister re-
public holds our country.
and how anxious he is that
there may be a closer walk be-
tween the two republics. By his
act, the president Of Mexico has
placed every citizen OF this coun-
try under obligations to him.
But what a contrast between
the two presidents. The one
learned, accomplished, still
young and trusting implicitly
upon the ninety millions Of his
countrymen to hold up his
hands. The other seventy-nine
years Of age, a soldier bred, not
much educated, but with the
brain of a statesman, who
would fain make his people bet
ter, richer, wiser, happier, but
who knowes that of the fourteen
millions of his countrymen quite
eleven millions are grown-up
children or bandits. and that
only an iron hand can hold them
in check until, out of the schools
which he has established, there
shall emerge a steadier-brained
race; and that in the meantime.
while his hand is gloyed, the
people are never for a day per-
mitted to forget that it is an
iron hand.
And that land adjoins ours.
Along a part of the boundary
a river divides the two countries,
the rest of the way the Traveller
does not know when he crosses
the border. But how vast the
difference. And what made that
difference? On one side, kings
and priests ruled; the schools
were neglected; the civil govern
ment was subordinated until the
people degenerated and the mass
OF them became poems or rob
bers. On the other hand the
people ruled from the beginning;
when a new camp was formed
the school house was the first
Government; all religions and
creeds were protected so long as
they kept within thelaw; but the
church was never permitted to
usurp any junction of the state,
all opportunities and all honors
were opened alike to all, the
humblest as well as the highest;
from the rudest childhood men
have advanced to the highest
stations; with the result that
every citizen holds himself to be

CRIES THAT CANNOT
BE STTFLED

Spain. 1t may be necessary to
confine them, but when they are
shot the echoes of the guns that
killed them keep sounding on
and on; the cries Of the victim
for more freedom for the men
and women and children of
Spain also awake echoes that
go sounding on and on, and
the executions are but sowing
dragons teeth which, springing
up, make harvest of anarchy
and war. In our country, half
a century ago, some men, not
more than two hundred in
number, by impassioned appeals
brought to their standard the
people of eleven states and pre-
cipitated a war which cost 400, ?
600 lives and 1000 millions Of
treasure. After four years the
revolution was quelled. In any
otherland then ours it would have
been followed by wholesale execu-
ton and banishments, but there
was not one execution, not one
sentence of Punishment. Moth
ing like it before was ever seen,
but what was the result? That
region where the war ragged is
all back under the flag and
many who after the war sought
other lands in which to live, re-
turned and Joined in the work of
restoring the country and plant
ing flowers above the places
SCARED by the war. Next week
thepresident Of the whole country
will travel through that region
which was SO rent by war, and
his journey will be an ovation
all the way.
The men who still believe in
thrones and the divine right of
kings and priests had better
study that history and learn
the solemn truth, that where
there is a righteous cause in a
country for the people to lift up
their voices for more freedom
that cry cannot be stilled by
the chill OF the scaffold, nor the
menace of standing armies.
Russia, for a century, has
been killing and banishing men
and mountaineering out against
the tyranny of the rule which
has benumbed the best energies
OF their country. And it has
but resulted in making the ruler
OF that land a prisoner in his
own palace and the million of
armed men that stand guard
around his throne cannot as
sure his safety. Suppose a diff
ferent policy had prevailed and
the people had been called upon
to share in the responsibilities
OF making The laws and COVER
ing the country, how magnifi-
cen t an empire would have been
that of the Gar today? The
same is true Of Spain, and it is
most strange that those who
rule in those lands cannot see
what must be before real peace
and safety and pro sporty can be
assured, for the light from our
flag makes clear that the only
safety for a nation to rest upon
