WHAT PUBLICITY WILL DO.

Publicity can do for US what the

road did for Saul; it a save us
from ourselves. 1t is the search

poses and methods. IT can save ma
lions, states and parties by uncover

to love light rather than darkness.
They are coming out of their secret
places to give their side of the case
to the common, people.
Professional reserve is blinking in
the sunlight of publicity, 1t thinks
it may be able to stand it eventually.
What a blessing to mankind if minis
ters, doctors and lawyers would daily
let their credentials and records be
known of all men, so that publicity
could point the way straight to the
right door in the urgent hour Of
stress and need.
The medical association have a
greater horror of getting into print
than they have of transmitted infec-

TUESDAY, JUNE A, 1912.
MORE TAFT

Once more President Taft has COM
mitted the error of needing and deal
ing with the insurrectionist leader
Orozco, in relation to the safely of
Americans in Mexico. Again he has
made the mistake of warning Amer
leans to leave Mexico5 because Of the
threats of Orozco, instead of de-
handing that the Mexican govern
ment should either guarantee the
safety of foreigners in that country
or give its consent for the United
States to send troops into the coun-
try for the purpose of protecting the
foreigners sojourning there.
Cuba has wisely consented to the
landing of the United States marines
to protect foreigners in the island,
and congratulates herself upon the
arrangement, which permits her to
devote her entire military forces to
the suppression of the negro rebel
lion.. Mexico would do well to adopt
a similar course. With claims
amounting to millions of dollars al
ready piled up against their govern
ment on account of the massacre of
foreigners during the Madero revolu-
ton, the Mexicans should welcome
the presence of United States troops
as a guarantee against further out
RACES upon the foreign population
of their country. With the immense
SUNG Of foreign capital invested in
the republic and the large number of
foreigners residing there, Mexico
has a responsibility which must
weigh heavily upon a country so torn
by internal war. 1t is plainly APP
parent that, in the event the federal
governmtn should not be able to pro-
tect these foreigners, the respective
countries represented will be COM
PEELED to take steps to protect their
own people.
The first TO take such a step doubt
less would be-or, at least, should
be-the United States. Thus it
would appear wiser and saner to in
wife this country to protect its own
people and their interests, as we'll as
other foreigners, in the republic, be-
fore any such necessity may arise.
That President Taft's policy in
dealing with the situation has been
weak and without satisfaction is ad-
mitted by many thinking people.

Strength In Second Ballot.
Up in Michigan, 1t is said. some of the
leading politicians of the party are out
working for delegates for Marshall, and
that they are lining some of them up
for him. It is the belief of the friends
of the governor that he will ge num-
Der of votes from that state.
It is not likely that Marshall will
get many more delegates on the first
ballot than those of Indiana alone. but
it is on the second ballot that they ex
pect him to make a good showing.
They say that If he can get the two
hundred votes on the second ballot that
they figure landing for him he will have
made such a showing as will make the
other candidates sit up and take notice.
| This showing, coming just at this
| time. is in the nature of a surprise to
some of those who have been predicting
! that the governor would not get any
/ where with his candidacy. The gov

| s now more firmly confident of 1t than
| ever before.
Keynotes Tonight.

will make plain his views on some OF

! jects 1t will be interesting to watch
| the result and see how the speech
| takes over the country. If 1t meets
| with the approval of the political lead
| ers 1t may mean much to him in the
way of support at the convention. If.
on the other hand, il does not meet
| with approval. some of the other candi-
dates and their friends probably will
jump on 1t and show it up. Up to this
| time. however. nobody has openly at
| tackled Marshall on any proposition that
he has advanced. This fact is pointed
to by some of his friends as proof that
democrats all over the country are
keeping themselves in line in this way
SO that they may be in position to Mop
