With Taft at the Wheel
The Nation is Safe.

1t is now proclaimed that United
States ambassador H. l.. Wilson, to
Mexico, obtained the original secret
pact made between DiaZ and japan,
which pact or treaty had been rati-
fled by the Mexican cabinet: that
Wilson held it long enough to have
it photographed; that he then pro-
ceeded to Washington where he held
consultation with President Taft
and Gen. Wood.
The document was in the shape
of several clauses, which were to
be part of a formal agreement on
the part of the Mexican government
to allow the Japanese commercial
line of steamships to have it's own
coaling station at a point on the
Pacific coast and to grant several
colonization rights in the states
along the western coast
The secret phases of the treaty,
those photographed by ambassador
Wilson-gave Japan a lease of a
coaling station and manoeuvre priv
| ileges in Magdalena bay, with the
alternative of a coaling station at
one other of the few scattered ports
down the Mexican coast"
The result of the conference in
Washington was the immediate de-
| livery to Senior Jose Yves Liman-
| tour, Mexican minister of finance a
message:
That message was in effect that
the United States government would
view as an unfriendly act the carry
ing into effect of the secret treaty;
that six days would be given to
President Diaz in which to abrogate
the treaty. If positive assurances
that compliance had not been made
with this demand were not given at
the end of six days the United States
government would take whatever
action it might see fit to defend it
self against the unwarranted action
of both Mexico and Japan"
Without waiting for a reply the
assembling of troops and warships
begun. The abrogation of the secret
treaty by Diaz followed
Those who have met President
Taft regard him as man who has
just the necessary, proper words for
each occasion. Unlike LaFollette.

not possessed, solely. of an iron jaw
and tireless tongue.
The one thing more than another
which has contributed to the great

that none but really great men have

The boy who is taught manly and
gentlemanly ways, is pretty sure
to grow up to be a gentleman. He
may need to be jogged-up a little
occasionally from getting careless
or from being thrown with bad as
sociates, but good teachings in
youth nearly always have their eff
feet. Along with such teaching it
is well enough to throw in hint
now and then about the effect of
associations. A good boy in bad
company gets the credit of being
bad, the same as did the lamented

Misrepresentation of the, arrange

sion, painful to witness, they point
ed out how Japan could invest the
Pacific slope with an army of
quarter million of fighting men be-
fore the United States could as
semble ten thousand for the defense
of that coast. Yet within a week
of the adjournment of congress a
perfectly equipped army of 10000
troops has been modified on our
remote southern border and is doing
patrol duty, and the ease and the
promptness with which the task
was accomplished demonstrates that
with our military discipline, and
transportation facilities, a army
of a hundred thousand men could
be Assem- bled and disposed of % as
to offer an effective defense of any

try is not capable and competent to
