fiUERTA,S MURDER
OF THE PRESIDENT

There are very few Americans who can find it in
their hearts to admire Huerta, the new provisional presi-
dent of Mexico. That is why the popular American YER
dict as to the death of Madero and Suarez the other day
was that it was cold-blooded murder.
Much of suspicion was attributable to the we'll
known Mexican system of shooting down ptblic men
upon the pretense that they were killed while trying to
escape. 1t seems that the deposed president and all of
the members of his personal and official family fully
understood that they would be made victims of the pro-
cess known as "ley de fuga," which meant that they
would be killed as fugitives. r.
But to the recent acts of Huerta, more than any
other thing, did the American public look in determining
whether or not these depos d officials and their followers
were inhumanly murdered by the government.
~Huerta does not stand in the light of an ideal hero
before the American people. He was commander of Ma
|dero's armies, the trusted military head of the late I'LL
fortunate president. 1t is hard to escape the conscious
ness that in finally bringing about the arrest of Madero,
without previous warning of his disloyalty, he played the
part of an infamous traitor. His motives may have been
patriotic, but his method was nothing less than treason.
That is why it is hard to believe that Madero and
Suarez were not murdered by design of the provisional
president and in pursuance of a subterfuge that has be-
come traditional and almost lawful among Mexicans.
