FOREIGNERS NOW IN A
PREcARIoUs POSITION

Mexico City, Feb. 12.-Americans
and other foreigners in the Mexican
capital found themselves in a pre-
carious position today. The foreign
residential and commercial district lay
in direct line with the artillery fire
of the federaIs and rebels. Many took
refuge in more important buildings and
found themselves penned in, while
heavy shells whistled about them,
tearing away walls and roofs
The sharp crack Of rifles and the
crash OF cannon could be heard n
some quarters OF the city almost al
day. The diplomatic representatives
protested an an armistice was ar
ranged so an envoy of the diplomats
could enter the rebel lines and confer
with Diaz. Although riding under a
white flag, the envoy was fred upon.
The bombardment, terrific yester-
day, reached a climax today. Diaz
shelled the very center of the business
districts to drive from the roofs of tall
buildings the federal sharpshooters
and silence the heavy cannon of the
loyalists. In the meantime the FIRE in
the opposite direction wrought havoc
In the residential district. During t.e
lull the foreigners. mostly British,

biles under white flags. carried the
women and children to section around
the American embassy. which is con-
sidered relatively safe. Both Madero
and Diaz evaded responsibility when
the diplomats protested and the battle
did not slacken.
All surrouning streets were occupied
by troops and throughout the morning
the whir of the machine guns was
continuous while infantrymen kept UP
q constant rifle fire.
From the Madero point OF view two
OF the most serious OF the days devel-
opments were the releasing by rebels

Would Put Fear Into Heart Of
Woodrow Wilson by Great Strike

'It is not the men who run the
railroads who are to blame" said
Carter. 'It is the big men of Wall
street back of them. They are the ones
urging the whole thing, upholding the
railroads in their stand. If it were
not for them the railroads would not
dare shoulder the blame for a strike"
Mr.. Carter and the adjustment COM
mtttee of the union discussed their
grievances with Messrs. Knapp and
Hanger for more than three hours to-
day, refusing to yield any points OF
their demands for higher wages and
better working conditions.
After the conference, Judge Knapp
said no statement would be made at
present though he emphasized that no
pessimistic inference should neces-
sarily be drawn from his conversation.

New York, Feb. 12.-Theodore
Roosevelt returned for the first time
in many weeks to the councils of the
progressive party tonight, to say SO
far as he is concerned there would be
nc compromise with the other parties.
Many conspicuous figures before
the progressive campaign last fall
gathered for the Lincoln day dinner at
abe National Progressive club. Two
thousand seats at the table were all
taken. Albert j. Beveridge, Oscar s.
Straus, w. H. Hotchkiss and w.
Bourke Cochran also spoke Demo-
cratic National Chairman McCombs
was present, as one of Roosevelt 5
guests.
In his speech Colonel Roosevelt re-
turned to the subject of the decision
of the supreme court of Idaho in the
election cases. and again voiced the
opinion that this decision constituted
IAN even graver offence against JUS
tice and decency, and an even greater
blot on the American judiciary than
the Dred Scott decision itself" The
court he characterized az 1.-THE mosI
potent instrument in this denial oi
justice.
Abraham Lincoln was no less
guilty than the three men whom the
supreme court of the state of Idaho
imprisoned for contempt because they
criticized, in less severe language than
Lincoln, a decision as indefensible
from every STANDPOINT of law and JUS
tice and popular rights as the Dred
Scott decision itself"
Colonel Roosevelt's address was per-
meated with passages from Lincoln's
writings and speeches. In Lincoln's
words, he replied to the critics of the
progressive party, likened republican
leaders to "the old, exclusive, silk
stocking whiggery,' which opposed
Lincoln before the civil war;" and de-
clared that the time had come for the
people to act as the court of last re-
sort. He said, in part:
"At this moment there has occurred
in Idaho decision by the highest state
court which, within its own limits, is
an even graver offence against justice
and decency and an even greater blot
on the American judiciary, than the
Dred Scott decision itself The reac-
tionary supreme court of Idaho has
played into the hands of the republi-
can machine of which it was itself a
part, precisely as Justice Taney and
the majority of the supreme court of
the nation in 1857 played into the
hands Of Presidents Pierce and Buch-
anan and the reactionary organiza-
ton of which he and they were parts.
MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.
''In Idaho the result was as grave a
miscarriage of justice at the election
as had occurred at the nominating
convention, and the court became the
most potent instrument in this denial

This is the sort of CUFF that in
jures the cause of true socialism.
There is scarcely an intelligent OBJ
server today who does not sympa
thize with socialism and socialistic
movements, but TO appeal to preju-
dice and hate, to see nothing in a
government armory, for example, but
a conspiracy on the part of capital
to shoot down workers, wearies and
disgusts any person of sense and
weakens any propaganda it is de-
signed to advance.
What we need is a party working
not only for a more perfect justice
but for Il better understanding be-
| tween classes-not a party to appeal
to discomfort and envy, and SOW
seeds of hostility and hatred which
can only delay the betterment OF
mankind.

Gould | but teach man to believe,
Could | but make small men to grow,
To break frail spider webs that
weave
About their thews and bind them
low;
Could | but sing one song and lay
Grim doubt, l then could so my way
In tranquil silence, glad, serene.
But, ah, this disbelief, this doubt.
This damned spot will not out.
Wouldst learn to know one little
flower,
It's perfume, perfect form and hue;
Yea, wouldst thou have one perfect
hour
OF al the years that come to you?
Then grow as Gcd hath planted
grow
A lordly oak or daisy low,
AS He hath set His garden; be
Just what thou art, or grass or tree
Thy treasures up in Heaven laid
Await they sure ascending soul,
Life after life-be not afraid!'
