Omaha, Neb., April Is: 1t Is not
a nice thing to use evil instruments
in order to do dirty work." said Col.
Roosevelt in an attack tonight In
speech at the auditorium upon sup
porters of the Taft administration.
'It is an even less nice thing 10
throw the evil instruments aside wnen
they are broken and loudly make pc
lieve that they are not intentionaily
used" Col. Roosevelt charged that
the presidents managers with the
HELPLESS acquiescence OF Mr.. Tart
were relying solely upon the support
of the bosses who stand for what is
worst in our political life. There Is
not one state out Of ten in which Mr.
Taft would have any chance If the vote
were left to the people themselves
he asserted. Later on he said: Out-
side of the delegates that represent
either the unscrupulous use OF patron
age or else sheer fraud, Mr.. Taft's
strength would be trivial and indeed
negligible in the present contest
Tn the cotton region the season
is everywhere backward and In por-
tions Of the middle section the heavy
rains Of the past week still further
have delayed the progress OF the usual
spring operations" This is the state
ment made in the weather bureaus
crop bulletin just issued from WASH,
ington Wednesday. I'm Texas and
Oklahoma the soil appears to be In
excellent condition as to moisture
and similar conditions prevail over
the more eastern states OF the belt
In portions of the lower Mississippi
valley large areas are under water
from the severe floods and there Will
be much delay in the usual spring
work. In the winter wheat states west
Of the Mississippi the heavy snowfall
of the past winter has left the soil
well filled with moisture and the un-
usual snow covering doubtless proved
highly beneficial to the wheat plant
during the prevalence Of the severe
cold. In the winter wheat States east
of the Mississippi the snow covering
was generally lighter and afforded less
protection during the severe cold. The
soil is generally well saturated with
moisture and the favorable weather or
the past week has rapidly forced vege-
tation forward in all portions OF the
belt In the spring wheat region
snowfall was generally less than usual,
but good rains during the past week
have put the soil in good condition
and the weather was generally favor
able for outdoor work"
Mexico replied to the warning
note of acting Secretary Huntington
Wilson Wednesday night, declining TO
assume responsibility for Orozco's
acts, denying the right OF the Wash
ington government to deliver the ad-
monition contained therein. taking
exception to the communication d.
rected to Orozco through Consul
Letcher and deploring the making
public Of this communication in the
same note to which the. government
was required to make answer. The
reply was made public by Minister of
Foreign Relations Calero. 1t denies
the right Of the. Washington govern
ment to admonish Mexico for the rea-
son that 1t Is not based on any justi-
fable incident 1t denies responsible
ity by the constituted government for
acts committed in the territory in re-
bellion, while accepting full RESPONSE
bility for every lesser damage sus-
tanned by foreigners legally chargeable
to the government. A caution has
been issued to leaders Of the Federal
forces to insure proper treatment or
foreigners who may be taken as pris-
oners of war, at the same time 1t Is
asserted that no basis exists for sup
posing that any other course would
be pursued. Orozco is held to be ans
werable for his offenses only to the
Mexican courts and therefore, the re-
ply asserts, he should not have been
made the recipient Of diplomatic
communication.
