Mexico's Crisis.

y SOleIrl1lty uneQudled since tne eN-
plosion OF the battleship Maine in
Havana Harbor in 1898, falls upon the
people of the United States as the dis
patches from Mexico City set forth
with more and more dishcartening de-
tail the terrors which the apparent in
stability and weakness and powerless-
ness of the Madero administration
have let loose under the swift fury of
he Diaz and Reyes factions
To President Taft the people of the
United States look with an intensity
OF appealing confidence that a people
must feel, when at a time OF gross dis
order in a near country. where hun
dredS and thousands OF our citizens
have their homes, their wives and
children. and the property on which
they and theirs must subSist. The peo-
pie Of the United States who four
years ago chose William Howard Taft
for their chief servant have not yet
discharged him OF his service. That
another man has been chosen TO be
chief servant when the present ser
vitorS time OF duty expires; that a
Democrat is to replace a Republican
in the Presidents Office: that another
party'S policies are to guide the gov
ernment instead of the policies of the
party now dominant, neither lessen nor
enlarge the responsibilities that lie upon
President Taft and those conditions
do not lessen the confidence and the
need Of the people in him and for him
President Taft is still the President
of the United States.
That he may preserve to the end of
his administration-that his successor
may preserve to the end of his admin
lstration-the general peace to which
the United States has been a willing
party, is the will, the prayer OF all the
men and women of the United States
who give even momcntary heed to the
tremendous ills that every step from
this day forward must mean. That
he may preserve the national honor
and dignity, which are as holy as
peace. is their equally earnest will and
prayer.
For the United States to preserve
peace and honor and dignity during
the revolutions in Mexico has been
hard. To preserve peace and honor
and dignity may now at any time be-
come impossible With utter trustful- /
ness, with no care or thought of par
tisan preferences, with no concern for
the change of men which the govern
mcnt OF the republic provides every
four years, the people look to the Pres
ident of the United States to defend
them 1t is time for wisdom to pre- |
vail, certainly; but wisdom. unless |

For the greater part of the day
Knowles pored owe the papers of the
past few weeks, many of which
chronicled his life in the woods,
! which he left in caches to be taken
by friends.
Knowles entered the wooGs, naked
and with no food of II kind, ncar
the King and Bartlett camp on Rang
eley Lakes, August A. After just two
months, almost to the hour. he en-
erged on the shores of lake Mcgantic,
clad entirely in deer skins. Because
he feared the displcasure of game
wardens for killing a deer in the
wood out of season. Knowles dared
not leave the woods in Maine, but
| crossed the CanaGian line. In the
party that met him we're some of
the game wardens. who assured him
that they would overlook their duty
In recognition OF his feat.
In the whole sixty days Knowles
/, did not see a human being. A rude
hut of boughs provided him with
shelter, and ANIMALS that he killed
with his hands and rude weapons
provided him with food and clothing
lie found his problem of food less
pressing at the outlet than that OF
clothes. His chief implements were
of flint. This material he used in
making his first tools, and from ii
he obtained the device which enabl-
ed him to kindle fires. BY his feat
Knowles proved his claim that the
mar of today Is just as able to exist
as our primitive ancestors We're with
ont modern civilization.
