Pennsylvania.

The unexpected Roosevelt sweep OF
Pennsylvania gives substance, hitherto
lacking. to the threat Of a populistic
platform and a third term presidential
candidate as results OF the Chicago con-
vention. The popular interest in the
verdicts to be rendered on the new issues
by the republicans Of other states not
yet on record is at once pushed to the
point Of highest intensity.
The Roosevelt vote in the keystone
state was large, and taken in con-
nection with the general republican situa-
don is impressive. That ii will be used
with some effect in states where delegates
TO Chicago are yet to be chosen Is GER
tain. Both Mr.. Roosevelt and his cam
paign manager will spread their own in
depreciation of the victory far and wide.
Local factionalism played its part. The
republican organization has been unpopu-
lar for some time. Two years ago Mr..
Dalzell had close call for reelection to
the House. He Is the organization's
abest representative in the Pittsburgh
section of the state. Last year the or
ganization was defeated in Philadelphia
by combination of insurgent republicans
and democrats. which was another ex-
picSSiOH VI d new OTQer OF lnlnRS.
On Saturday, therefore. the organization
went into action in bad shape. It was
supporting Mr.. Taft. and of course the
Taft cause took on the color Of that sup
port. A vote against the organization
was a vote against Mr.. Taft, and a great
many votes of that kind were cast. Mr..
Roosevelt profited by the whole OF the re-
publican disaffection.
But was Mr.. Taft otherwise condemned
His policies have received approval in
Pennsylvania. In no state Is protection
stronger; and Mr.. Taft is a protectionist.
The peace treaties negotiated by the
President were warmly applauded in Phil
adelphia. He was hailed there as an
agent for the worlds good. In no other
city were expressions on the subject more
enthusiastic. Both the lay world and the
religious world gave testimony to appre-
citation OF his initiative in a cause Of such
wide concern.
Still. Notwithstanding this. Pennsylvania
records herself against Mr.. Taft, and will
appear at Chicago in opposition to his re-
nomination. Mr.. Roosevelt is her choice,
Mr.. Bryan has ever proposed. and three
times she has declared against Mr.. Bryan
by enormous majorities on account of his
radicalism.
As convention time approaches the gen
eral situation grows in contradictions and
confusion. Old divisions widen, and new
ones appear. Whether they will defy
treatment when the convention meets Is q
question which goes to the very root OF
the republican party's existence.

The Warning to Mexico.

This government has served notice upon
both the government and the insurgents
In Mexico. in terms which admit of no
misunderstanding or evasion. that the de-
struction Of American property must
cease that American lives must be safe
guarded and that 1t will hold Mexico and
the Mexican people responsible for the
sacrificing or endangering of American
lie or the damaging Of American prop
erty or interests within the neighboring
republic
Acting Secretary Wilson's note to Am
bassador Wilson, which he is directed to
convey to the consul at Chihuahua for
the information of the chief insurgent in
the field, sets forth state Of affairs
which amply justifies the peremptory
nature Of the admonition. For some time
conditions in Mexico have been becoming
more seriously complicated, to the end Of
threatening the complete collapse of or
ganized government south of the Rio
Grande. American citizens with large in
terests at stake on the other side of the
boundary have not unnaturally looked to
this government for protection when they
found that the authorities at Mexico City
we're unable to guarantee them immunity
from injury. The United States has been
considerate of and patient with President
MaderO. taking into account his difficulties
and hoping that he would establish and
maintain a stable organization sufficinS to
give protection to all interests. But, on
the contrary, conditions have grown
worse instead of better during the last
six months, until there is a constant fear
of disaster occurring within Mexico rem
dering American Intervention imperative.
1t does not necessarily follow that the
note just sent to Mexico City will lead to
a crisis. Assurances will probably be re-
ceived from Madero that the utmost will
be done to safeguard American life and
property. The most difficult phase of the
situation arises from the refusal hereto
fore Of the revolutionary forces to recog-
nize the representatives of the United
States as authorized agents of communi-
cation, inasmuch as the United States has
not recognized the belligerency of the
anti-Maderists. 1t is, OF course, too much
to expect Orozco to conduct diplomatic
negotiations without giving some as
surance of recognition in return; but it
will be possible at the same time to con-
heed the American warnings is calculated
to work to his disadvantage.
From the thought of actual Intervention
In Mexico the great majority Of Ameri-
cans shrink. Crossing the border in force
to put an end to an intolerable condition
of anarchy seriously affecting American
interests would mean the assumption of
a heavy burden Of responsibility and a
task certain to tax the powers of the
United States severely. The hope is well
nigh universal that this government s
note of warning will have the good eff
feet of causing both sides in Mexico
henceforth to respect American rights.

From the Baltimore Sun.

anniversary for Americans to celebrate
The author of the Declaration of indie
pendence has left deep impress upon
our national life. Wise, learned, intense
ly patriotic, democrats may well look to
him for inspiration. The addresses at the
celebration In New York were full of the
spirit of true democracy. Gov. Wilson,
Gov. Dix. Mayor Gaynor. Mr.. William J.
Bryan and Senator O'Gorman in their
speeches expressed the sentiment that
animates the democrats Of the whole
country. 1t Is an EZRA of good feeling
among democrats. Minor differences are
laid aside; the east and the west, the
north and the south are Of one mind re-
garding the main issues.
