Gaynor's Unfortunate Position.

Mayor Gaynor. invited to appear before
the alder1nanic graft inquiry in New
York, refuses to attend. short Of being
formally summoned. on the somewhat
remarkable ground that the aldermen be-
ing themselves, as he asserts, guilty of
grating in the matter OF street news
stand privileges. are not fit to conduct an
inyesti CATION into police corruption. This
of course, il not calculated to strengthen
his position. however. Il may reflect upon
the aldermen. II Is undeniably true that
the aldermen owe It to themselves and
to the community to clean their own
house II they would gain credit az inves-
tigators, but Is 1t the business of the
mayor, requisitioned as witness, and in
a position to tell much that Is of value
in the publication Of local conditions. to
take exceptions to the court before which
he is invited to appear? Indeed, the at
titude Of the executive Of New York
from the beginning OF this Rosenthal
police graft affair has been extremely
unfortunate, and it Is calculated to de-
stroy much il not all Of his prestige. He
resisted all attempts on the part of the
aldermen at the outset to start an inves-
tiSation of police corruption and yielded
TO the demand for a called session for
that purpose only when threatened with
mandamus proceedings. Meanwhile he
had written a letter to Police Commits

Roosevelt, Past and Present

Secretary Stimsons name is mentioned
in connection with the republican guber-
material nomination in New York. The
suggestion is made that the Roosevelt
ians would be embarrassed by the eulo-
gies Of Mr.. Stimson that their chief
delivered in the campaign of two years
ago
But that is a mistaken notion. Those
eulogies have all been recalled. When Mr.
Stimson was working with Mr.. Roose-
welt he was all right, and one of the
most deserving of men. Now that he has
parted company with Mr.. Roosevelt he
is all wrong, and entitled to no praise.
Take the case of Mr.. Taft. When he
was working with Mr.. Roosevelt he was
a model public servant, capable far be-
yond the rule of men. Mr.. Roosevelt
exhausted eulogy in recommending him
as his own successor in the presidency.
Now that Mr.. Taft has policies of his
own as President, and insists on wearing
his own hat, he is all wrong, and the
public welfare demands his retirement
from office. 1t does not embarrass Mr.
Roosevelt at all to hear his eulogies of
Mr.. Taft quoted now.
Take the cases of the bosses. When
genheim were working with and for Mr..
Roosevelt. they We're not BOSSES but lead
ers. and all right. Mr.. Crane was offered
the secretaryship of the Treasury. Mr..
Penrose was thanked for the half-million
Roosevelt majority produced in Pennsyl-
vania in 1904 partly through the aid of
the Standard OIL Company. When in
Cincinnati on one occasion. Mr.. Roose-
welt met Mr.. Cox by arrangement, and
spent an hour in pleasant conversation
with him. And Mr.. Guggenheim was
spotless until he ceased to play Mr.
Roosevelt's game
Now these men. and others, are not only
injurious to our politics. but enemies of
society. Mr.. Roosevelt has branded them
with his displeasure. and asks for their
destruction. When they refused him fur
ther support they revealed their unworthi-
ness, and the only adequate punishment
is loss of place and influence.
And the striking thing about this busi-
ness is that it is perfectly well known
to all Rooseveltians They agree with
their hero. Service for him Is a badge
of honor. Service against him is positive
proof Of baseness. Bosses become lead
ers, and leaders are degraded into bosses,
as they turn toward or from the chief
among ten thousand and the one alto
gether lovely.
The third party Is not a party. properly
so-called, but an obsession. Things
such things as here recounted-that
would injure, If not ruin, Mr. Taft among
republicans, and Mr.. Wilson among
democrats, positively help Mr.. Roosevelt
among the so-called progressives

The Mexican Crisis.

The dilemma of this government with
regard To the Mexican situation is un-
deniably difficult. There are 10000 Ameri-
cans in Mexico who are exposed to death
at the hands of the fanatical insurgents
and whose protection cannot be guar
anteed by the Mexican authorities. The
United States has undertaken to send them
arms for self-defense. but there Is no
assurance that the weapons and ammuni.
ton il shipped over the border will
reach their proper destination. Far more
likely is ii that these munitions will fall
into the hands of the insurgents and
thus only aggravate the situation. IL
the United States respects the integrity
OF Mexican soil and abstains from in
tervention these 5000 Americans may be
massacred. perhaps not in one general
movement, but i'm the course of raids and
local disturbances. in which IL is assured
they will be the especial objects of ami

Of labor and stand for provision for the
future. Indeed, 1t is known that good
many OF these people have not even the
necessary funds to get out, for trans
portation is expensive and In many cases
the Americans, accompanied by their
families. would have to travel several
hundred miles before reaching railroads.
So. while it was easy for the government
to say leave at once" 1t is by no means
easy for our people in Mexico to obey. and
they can hardly be blamed for remaining
and taking their chances on the re-estab
lishment of order.
However often they may have been
warned. it is still the duty of the United
States to do its utmost for the protection
sary to the extent OF an Intervention that
may precipitate a long and expensive
conflict Not even the possibility that
intervention might not save these men,
women and children would justify the
government withholding its hand when
all chance of their protection by the
Mexican authorities has passed. For the
United States to rest supine while It's
people were being slaughtered in an ad-
jacent country for the lack of stable
government there would be a blow at
American prestige in this hemisphere
from which it might never recover.
In the handling of this delicate ana
dangerous question the American admin
istration has thus far been tolerant ana
wise. proceeding cautiously and with con-
sideration for Mexican sovereignty ana
with due regard to the possibilities OIL
long-continued trouble following inter-
vention tremendous pressure has been
exerted upon the government to SEND
our troops across the border to restore
order Vast interests are at stake there,
interests that necessarily exert a power
ful influence And yet the administra-
ton has thus far held aloof from any
act which might lead to war. 1t is the
hope of the country today that this crisis
may be safely passed without interven-
ton and that the lives of those Ameri-
cans who are now exposed to peril may be
spared. But it is assured at the same
time that If they are harmed and ane
American flag is dishonored south of the
Rio Grande the United States will not
hesitate in the assumption of task
which the national honor demands, how
ever costly it may prove to be in execu-
tion.

The Bumper Crops.

The Department OF Agriculture's esti-
mates Of this seasons crops reach fig
ures that are really overwhelming in
their immensity. Yet, although records
are broken in practically every case, SO
accustomed are the American people to
the tremendous agricultural totals that
it is doubtful whether these statistics will
very deeply impress the country. Some
exceedingly valuable deductions are pos
sible however, from these returns, es-
pecially if they are later verified by the
actual harvests. in terms of acreage and
averages 1t is a vitally important ques-
ton today whether the soil of the United
States is being worked To fun advantage.
a record breaking crop may be the re-
suit of especially favorable climatic con-
ditions. or IL may be due to an enlarge
ment of the area Of cultivation. or to the
development OF greater degree of pro-
ductivity through more intelligent meth
DDS. Thus the crop statistics call for
later analysis that may lead to highly
significant conclusions.

republicans of Vermont stood together
last week the democrats would have
been. as for long there negligible
quantity. The republicans of Maine
made a strenuous effort to get to-
gether yesterday. and measurably sue
ceeded. They wiped out the democratic
figures of two years ago. and substi-
tuted figures of their own. Not the
hgures that for years ruled in the
state. but encouraging ones, all things
considered.
But we are told that the union OF
forces is now to be dissolved, that the
supporters of Mr.. Roosevelt will set up
their own standard for President and
gather under il at all cost. If they do
Mr. Wilson should carry the state.
There is nothing to show how numer-
Gus the so-called progressives are. but.
whether many or few. every one OF
them appearing at the polls in No
Nember will be so much to the good

knows his allies. and is profuse in
complimenting their platform and pur-
poses. In a large measure he is lean
ing upon them.
To state issues is ascribed the re-
suit. John Barleycorn. in particular,
was again in evidence. And yet ma
tional issues were introduced into the
campaign. Gov. Marshall appeared on
the stump and declared that protection
was unconstitutional. Speaker Clark
followed, and said that the democratic
party was pledged to a tariff for reve-
nue. only.
Strange talk to a constituency which
has always indorsed protection when
the issue was raised. and was led for
years by James G. Blaine, William p.
Frye, Eugene Hale, Thomas B. Reed and
lists. Although not a manufacturing state.
Maine has seen In protection a policy
of great national value. and on that
account has supported it,
Mr.. Taft's weakness as a candidate
is along the Canadian border, and
grows out of his reciprocity record.
But why should republicans turn from
him. and to either Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.
Wilson. on that issue? Mr.. Roosevelt
was consulted about the pact with
Canada, and indorsed 1t. while Mr.. Will
sons party in Congress voted to make
the pact a law.
Mr.. Roosevelt. after approving a I one

Our Attitude in Mexico.
rom the Philadelphia Press.


Americans legally resident in Mexico
are entitled to protection in life and
property. That fact must be recognized
by even the most extreme opponents
of any action on the part of the gov
ernment at Washington which would
disrupt the friendly relations happily ex-
listing between the two countries.
Until Mexico ceases to justify her
claim to be regarded as civilized state
that protection will be accorded to
Americans as well as to all other for
eigners by her government. But If her
government proves impotent to discharge
that most important national obligation.
with the result that American property
Is destroyed or plundered and Americans
are killed then our government will have
no alternative but to take whatever steps
may be necessary to enforce respect for
our citizens and our flag. Our people
would not tolerate for a moment any
other course.

The Mexican Situation.
From the New York Sun.


Mr.. Taft is committed to the sound
constitutional policy OF referring to Con-
gress the question of Intervention and
its inevitable sequel, war. Every good
citizen should encourage the President
to adhere to 1T no matter what the pres
sure upon him may be to intervene in
Mexico for any reason in his capacity
as commander In chief OF the army.
Only Congress has the, power to declare
war and the broad implication is that
the President has no right to make war;
An unjust war upon Mexico would be
the crime Of the century, and 1t would be
costly to this country as
well as to Mexico. Above all things,
honorable dealing with a weaker nation
in the throes Of widespread popular
movement for It's oetterment requires
that the United States keep its hands of
and permit President Madero to use the
opportunity that Ia now within his grasp
to save awakened Mexico.
