PRESIDENT TAFT's WISE MOVE

The action of President Taft in
sending the United States troops to
the border in Texas some weeks ago
was rather severely censured in some
quarters, but since the developments
OF yesterday and last night most ev-
eryone is pretty we'll satisfied with
the position taken by the chief execu-
tive. There is little doubt but that
had not the troops been on hand the
Mexican insurrectos and possibly the
federals would have wandered out OF
the reservation in their anxiety to
get shot at their enemies and that
would have meant trouble, serious
and of doubtful solution. That the
president had some inside information
on the conditions in Mexico is prob
ably fact, and 1t was probably infor-
nation Of such a character that he
was compelled to keep his reasons
for the sudden and unexpected move
a secret from the people at large.
Had the American troops not been
so close to the scene of action, it is
very possible and highly probable that
there would have been many citizens
Of the United States killed and a great
deal Of property Of American interests
destroyed, and that on American soil.
: It is a fact, probably, that. If the
United States is compelled to take q
hand In the matter that peace will
follow quickly, as We would be no re-
;specter Of persons in enforcing the
neutrality laws Of the world, but would
strike at what appeared to be the seat
Of trouble, whether it was insurrecto
or federal. 1t is to be hoped that
there will be no necessity for inter-
vention, but If the necessity does
arise your Uncle Sam is on the ground
ready to look out for our interests,
and the United States soldier is we'll
known for his ability to finish any
thing that is started.

GOOD REASONS FOR DELAY.

Minneapolis Journal: The initia-
tive and referendum is either a great
and necessary reform, in which case
it will press its way to the front re-
gardless of obstacles, or else it is q
fad that will pass. At the present
time there is mixed feeling about it
which brings it to a vote in many leg.
islatures, but succeeds in enacting it
in but few. Its opponents will argue
from this that the people themselves
are afraid of it, when it comes to an
issue. Its advocates will as certainly
argue that the reactionaries and SER
wants Of privilege are making their
last stand and will soon have to give
way.
Whichever is right, no harm can
come from discussion. II debate has
the effect Of making more citizens
study forms OF government, It will
have added to the stock of knowledge
which is necessary to the maintenance
Of sound public opinion, without
which no republic can long exist. Pre-
cipitancy in adopting this or any 9TH
er change of the forms of government
is not necessary. We have gone along
quite a distance under representative
institutions. They are in no danger
of breaking down. Some state legis-
latures are under cloud, but clouds
are not cataclysms and occasional
corruptionists in public life are not
the forerunners of social anarchy.
1t is an sxiom that in our govern
ment the people can have what they
want, but that our government was
purposely and wisely arranged so that
it could not be changed without due
consideration. Due consideration has
never yet been accorded by advocates
of the initiative and referendum. They
show a disposition to railroad their
measure through. They are meeting
with just the kind of obstacle they
ought to meet with, the determination

on the other hand, the attorneys for
the state have rather let the bars down
and are admitting a lot of testimony
they would object to, and that sue
cessfully, if they had trained at
torney On the other side. 1t appears
from the newspaper reports that
Deitz will possibly be able to estab-
lish a reasonable doubt" which is
about as much as could be done by
anyone under the circumstances.
