According to my views you have
to do more than this to be forgiv
en-. You have to make amends.
Mere talk does not purchase for
giveness. Where anything is stol-
en- or got unjustly it must be re-
funded before forgiveness can be
expected, if the sinner is able to
refund.
~That is the way / understand it.
So you had better tell me what the
case was SO may look it up and
see what loss the defeated party
sustained and then you must re-
store his money to him or make
good his loss. If this be not your
view fear you are in error in sup
posing that you have got religion
and ARE a Christian.

It was when the mayor gave Har-
rington ride downtown in mis- auto
mobile yesterday morning that it was
decided to call on Nealon in an effort
TO prevail upon the former assessor to
Aeconsider his action in resigning the
Hresidency of the Mccarthy club in the
thirty-seventh district.
Letter Sent to Mayor
It was the following letter, sent to
Mccarthy last Saturday, that caused
such deep concern in the mayors office:
San Francisco. Cal, Sept. 2, 1911.
Dear Mr.. Mayor: AS / do not
favor your candidacy for mayor. I
deem it my duty to withdraw from
the presidency of the P. H. Mccar-
thy club of the Thirty seventh as
sembly district and therefore + have
forwarded my resignation to the
secretary OF that club
Very respectfully.
J. C. NEALON
The letter which Nealon sent to the
Mccarthy club reads as follows:
San Francisco. Cal. Sept ?. 1911.

sembly District-Dear Sir: I hereby

Mccarthy's most aggressive campaign

friends and secret societies in behalf of
the present mayor After Mccarthy
was elected Nealon's advice was much
sought after by Mccarthy. Immedi-
ately after his election. Mccarthy
called on Nealon and thanked him for
his great assistance. At that time
Nealon advised Mccarthy as to the best
way to run the Office of mayor, laying
special emphasis on the care Mccarthy
&hould take in the selection OF police
commissioners

c. NEALON, fromer assessor
and one of the most active
al supporters of P. H. Mccarthy
for mayor two years ago, has
retired from the presidency of the P.
H. Mccarthy club of the Thirty-seventh
assembly, district because he does not
favor the mayors candidacy for re-
election.
This detection is considered one of
the severest blows Mccarthy has suf-
fered during the present campaign, as
friend after friend of the campaign of
two years ago has deserted his camp.
e In his eagerness to patch UP a truce
with Nealon, who has been a power in
politics in San Francisco for many
years, Mayor Mccarthy yesterday morn
ing sought Nealon at his Office in the
Balboa building. The mayor took with
him his registrar of voters, E. c. Har-
rington, who has been an intimate
friend of Nealon for years. BY so do
ing, Mccarthy LED Harrington to vio-
late the charter provision making it
unlawful for the registrar to partici-
pate in politics except to perform his
prescribed duties.
Charter Provision Broken

atton reads as follows:

state department by Henry Lane VIII
son. ambassador to Mexico. and Col
Cecil Lyon, Republican national com
mitteeman from Texas, and heavily
interested in Mexican ranches, is so
torn asunder by revolution that the

able to cope with the situation.
American interests in Mexico are
now estimated by officials here at
$500, 900 900. England has conces-
sions amounting to almost $500,000-
600; Germany almost as much, and
France and Spain also hold large in

Washington, Mar Whether Pres
ldent Diaz. now in his eighty-hrst year,
lives or dies, his government is con
iunted with a most serious revolt
against his authority.
II is learned ON absolute authority
that European governments have init
mated strongly to the United states
that if Washington does not maintain
order and security Of property in Mex
leo, then it must reinquish that re-
spOnsibility to governments willing to
execute the work.
II Diaz dies, IL is feared condition
will arise that makes it necessary that
an effective American force be near to
protect American interests which
would be undoubtedly in peril.
Mexico Told in Advance.
Right here the significance of the
mobilization Of troops is forcefully
shown by the fact that Mexico was ap-
prlsed of the plans for the maneuvers
uelore they were put into effect. Am
oassador De Ia Barra of Mexico says
'nat ne and his government had been
consulted about the proposed maneu-
sers' and that Mexico had approved
them.

daybreak.
There have been placed on board
nearly 5000 rifles of the new Spring
field type, used by the army, and the

the same ammunition as do the wea-
pons of the army.
More than 10000 rounds of ammuni-
ton accompanied the shipment and
the officers on the big war craft
1t has been understood these rifles

Army of Invasion MobiIzing.
Washington, Mar. 10.-It Is learned
at the navy department that the scout

orders from Per sacola, F1a., to Tam

Tampico is one OF the few ports on
the Atlantic coast o. Mexico and is
500 miles south Cf Galveston. The
scout cruiser Salem also has left Pen

authorities to be an army of invasion.
