The MESSAGE.

The message of Gov Osborn to the
special session was a somewhat re-
markable document. In it he referred
strongly to the condition in the coun-
try and said it was not unlike the
conditions in France just prior to the
French Revolution and that the only
way to avoid trouble would be by CIV
ing the people all the power they
want.
His reasons for thus treating the
questions, he said afterward. was that
vote being taken in the University
of Michigan last week showed Eugene

measure was already in. Senator

duced at the extra session was du-
plicate of the first one and also iden.

Americans Asked to Quit Mexico.

President Taft and cabinet are pre-
pairing a proclamation urging all Am
orleans to stay out of Mexico during
the present revolt. The real sgnifi-
canoe of the proclamation is the Off
cial recognition of the fact that the
insurrectionary movement in Mexico
has attained to such proportions as
to cause it to be regarded as fairly
balancing power and influence with
the Madero government. For that
reason its issue is likely to be re-
garded with strong disfavor in the
City of Mexico. No such proclama-
ton was issued during the Madero
revolution.
