1t was so beautifully touching to see
Mr.. Roosevelt stand in the Boston arena
Saturday night, and say: II do not wish
this to be a campaign of personalities
between Mr.. Taft and myself" yet the
night before at Worcester, he referred
to the President of the United States
in these choice, chaste words, indicat-
ing deep respect for the Office of chief
magistrate of the nation
He exposes himself to derision and
contempt.
Such conduct represents the crookedest
kind of a crooked deal.
He says what he must know to be I'M
true.
He is trying to dodge the consequences
of his statement by deliberate misrep-
resentation of that statement
The grossest and most astounding
hypocrisy.
Mr.. Taft is guilty of deliberate mis-
statement of a great and vital fact.
There was time when no man could
refer to the official head of this nation
In such terms without insulting the
American people. There was a time when
the American people would have saw
agely resented the performance of which
Theodore Roosevelt is guilty.-[Spring-

Reign Of Bandits In Mexico.

From day to day the reports coming
out of Mexico and the stories told by
refugees reaching American territory
have been anything but reassuring to
the government at Washington. The
country is apparently overrun with
bandits even in sections not touched
by the organized rebellion under Orozco
and everywhere the anti-American feel
ing appears to be rising as reports filter
down about an impending invasion of
the American army and navy.
Tuesday AZ American refugees reach
ed Galveston by boat from Vera Cruz,
telling how they had been forced to
abandon all their possessions in order
to escape with their lives. They told of
the murder and torture of American
men and women. At San Antonio a
hundred former employees of the Mexican
railroad lines called on Brig Gen. Run
yon and offered their service in case of
Intervention. From the west coast
came frantic calls for help from no less
than 1000 Americans surrounded by
brigands, and a steamship was sent by
American interests to bring away those
able to get to the coast towns.
All Southern Pacific trains south of
San Bias were discontinued. The Mex
lean congress has authorized the in
crease of the army to $4,000. Meantime
decisive battle between the federal
and rebel forces in Chihuahua is ex-
pected at any moment.
