DEMAND THAT

Dear for federais.

City of Mexico, via Galveston, Tex,
May Sit is announced here that
President Diaz's resignation is again
put forward as an unalterable condi-
/ ton of peace by General Madero.
Henry Lane Wilson, the American
ambassador, and others here hear 9TH
erwise, but If the statement is true it
means war.
Ell Paso, Tex, May Sat the end Of
the first session Of the peace commits
sioners both parties declared that an
agreement would be signed within
three days.
The question OF the retirement OF
President Diaz Is to be discussed and
may be the one feature on which there
Will be the greatest difficulty in agree
ing, II 1t does not cause an absolute
break. The ~insurrectos will insist that
some assurance be given of the early
retirement Of Diaz.

Francisco C~arabajal General Madero
Is recognized as head Of the reyolu-
ton.
Madero received a telegram from the
City Of Mexico informing him that an
armistice had been entered into In the
states of Morelos and Guerrero and
advising also that the insurrectos had
entered into negotiations for peace.
He replied that he approved the armis-
tice, but denied their right to treat for
peace, tnasmuch as the peace commits
sion treating for all Mexico is now in,
session here.
The discussion Is now turning to
what will happen when the insurrecto
army is disbanded. The latest sugges-
ton from responsible sources is that
practically the entire Madero army of
5000 men surrounding Juarez is to be
taken bodily into the service Of the
federal government to be used In put
ting down any bands of rebels that
may not lay down their arms when
peace terms are reached. This move
has been seriously considered by the
federal and insurrecto leaders and is
expected to be a solution of the prob
lem Of restoring a state Of permanent
peace In northern Mexico.

Colonel Pancho Villa and Colonel Jose

of divisions Of the Mexican mounted
force, If 1t is created, and will direct

Salt Lake City. Oct. 3.=President
Taft spoke in the Salt Lake tabernacle
today to several thousand .told folks
gathered in the Utah capital in an
nual reunion. Probably the majority
OF them crossed the plains and the
mountains from the east before the
days of the railroad and the telegra phi
for when a request was made that all
who mad come west afoot or in wag-

sands of graybearded men and white
haired old women rose to their feet.
President Taft chose peace and the
arbitration treaties for his subject
and at the conclusion of his address
United States Senator Smoot an
nounced that he would not oppose the
ratifica ton of the proposed treaties
With Great Britain and France.
II am for the peace treaties with
the qualification suggested by Presi-
dent Taft that the American members
OF the proposed joint high commits

and confirmed by the senate, says
the Utah senator. Senator Smoot is
the fourth member of the senate to
signify his intention Of supporting the
treaties since the president began his
present trip
Tells Old Clock Story.
Mr.. Taft's address was largely like
those he has made before on the sub
ject of arbitration but he explained
in a humorous way his failure to un-
derstand the attitude OF those Who op-
pose the treaties.
Senator Taylor of Tennessee told me
a story said the president that I
think fits the case He said that he
once knew an old man down in the
mountains of eastern Tennessee who
owned an old clock. The clock was d
little peculiar. In speaking of its pc
culiarities its owner said:
:. That clocks useful because I have
to understand it. When the hands
point at 6 O'Clock and it strikes 4
O'Clock / know it is just 20 minutes
to O.
and continued the president, IT
don't exactly follow the logic of that
or of those who oppose the treaties''

the guest at breakfast of the local re-
ception committee and after it was

ceived telegram from United States

inability to be present and another

Of the Outlook Mr. Roosevelt dis
cusses statements which have been
made from time to time that he acted
in an unconstitutional manner and
usurped authority in connection with
the Panama project and he upholds
the regularity of the proceedings
throughout Mr.. Roosevelt says that
his message to congress set forth ia
full and in detail every essential fact
connected with the various phases of
the acquisition of the. Panama canal.
He adds:
THE simple fact was that when the
interest of the American people inn
peratively demanded that a certa in
act should be done and had the pow
er to do it, I did it unless it was spe-
clhcaliy prohibited by law, instead of
tllnIdIy refusing to do it unless l could
find some provision of law which rem
dered 1t imperative that I should do it.
In other words I gave the benefit Of
the doubt to the people of the United
states and not to any group of bandits
foreign or domestic, whose interests
happened to be adverse to those of the
people of the United States.
President Has Power.
In my judgment history had taught
the lesson that the president has very
great powers if he chooses to exercise
those powers but that il he is a tjrnid
and afraid of risks, he can, of course
manufacture ingenious excuses for
failure to exercise them. At a great
crisis in American history Mr.. Buchan-
an had shown himself to belong to the
latter type of president Mr. Lincoln
had represented the other type, the
type which gave the people the benefit
Of the doubt which was not afraid to
take responsibility, which used in large
fashion for the good of the peol e, the
great powers Of a great office.
