TAFT'S DELINQUENCY

Taft's attitude In the Mexican mat
ter, permitting American citizens to be
slaughtered, American women to be
outraged, to say nothing Of the prop
erty losses of citizens of this country,
can be accounted for on no patriotic
grounds, In all the blunders he has
made, his friends try to excuse him by
saying that his motives are pure; but
that ne is a poor politician; which
doesn't "go" with men who have any
"saveyi" for always they have seen a
motive to serve some special interest,
and they concluded that he is either a
confirmed bone.head or is without re-
gard for the public weal--usually both.
But there is no politics in this Mexican
issue, the pure motive excuse is barrel
by the facts, and the only reason that
can be assigned for his supiue inactivity
is that he has been restrained from pro-
tecting American life and property by
some unrevealed pull mixed up with his
dollar diplomacy Ely Expositor.
