Washington, July 22-An attempt by
Senator all of New Mexico to force the
Senate to en1nciate a strong policy of
protection for American citizens in
foreign countries, today. precipitated a
lively debate which demonstrated APP
probation on the part of senators OF
the gravity of the Mexican situation
and the necessity for determined
stand by the United States.
Denunciation of the policy of delay
on the part OF the Taft administration
was emphatically pronounced by Sena-
to all and blamed by him for the pres
ent critical situation which, he said,
could have been prevented by a stern
Ell national policy. This declaration was
approved by Senator Lodge of Massa-
chasetts, who expressed disappointment
that the new President and new sec
rotary Of State had not inaugurated Il
different Mexican policy. That the DELHI
cacy of the situation was keenly APP
preciated was evinced by the insist
ance cf many senators. led by Sena-
tor Bacon, chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee, that any proposed
pronunciamento be deliberately and
seriously considered before being act
ed upon.
Senator Fall called up his resolution
which would commit the government
20 full protection of the Constitution
al rights" of American citizens in for
eign nations. That the resolution was
directed against Mexico. Senator Ba-
con declared, could not be concealed,
and in moving to refer it to the foreign
relations committee he asserted that
words are very serious things some
times and this is one of the times.
Senator Works of California. asserting
that the Fall resolution constituted
declaration that the United states was
prepared to make war on Mexico II
Americans there were not protector.
urged that no hasty action be taken.
Senator Fall averred that every act OF
his had been prompted with the earnest
desire to prevent war, and that he mad
vainly sought to bring the former admin
istration to a realization of the fact that
stern Mexican policy would have pre-
vented rather than precipitated war. The
American policy of delay in Mexico was
responsible, he declared, for the present
critical situation, one which he intimated
, might yet demand intervention.
Action on the resolution. today. was
prevented and it went to the calendar
for future disposition.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. ~.
Would you, sir, recommend a
man for mayor of this city who
had betrayed his own father? No.
sir, you would not, and neither
will l., even though he be my
own son.
And the portly, gray-haired
man who is known in Terre
Haute as DR.. w. H. Roberts, a
pioneer physician, brought his
fist down on his desk with a
thunderous thump that made
the inkwell jump and the pens
clatter to the floor.
The old doctor has just thrown
his hat into the ring, with a
platform of law enforcement, to-
gether with the initiative, refer
endum and recall, and other pro-
gressive principles.
His Gown blood" is Dom Rob-
erts, political lieutenant to Craw-
ford Fairbanks, the biggest
brewer in Indiana, who has mil
lions invested in big corpora
tons.
Fairbanks became boss of the
county administration at the
last election through the work of
his lieutenant, who is democratic
county chairman, and is known
over the state as a shrewd poll
tician.
Roberts, jr., has announced
that he is going to get the dem
ocratic nomination for mayor at
the spring primaries.
81 am for a wide-open town,
but / will throttle the big cor
porations which now boss the
city," he says.
So the millionaire brewer is
depending on Roberts, jr., again,
and that aspiring politician on a
platform protesting to be against
corporation rule is going to try
to carry out the wishes of the
owner of one of the city's biggest
corporations, a brewery.
Several years ago, "Old Doc
tor" Roberts, with a fortune at
his back estimated ut 100000,
started in to make the apple of
his eye a celebrity in the en-
cheering world. Young Dom
was graduated from Rose Poly
technic at Terre Haute with high
honors. He became a contractor
on public work, and at one time
was city engineer.
He lost scads of money, and
his fond father supplied more.
Then he promoted a traction line
which has never been built, but
which took many dollars out of
the pockets of investors, and
finally hopelessly involved Rob-
erts, jr., again.
Failure in engineering endeav-
ors swamped him with debts.
The old doctor came to his res
cue time and again, for more

Tacoma, WASH, Feb. 10.
Editor Times:
I am citizen and taxpayer of
Tacoma, and L am, for that reason,
very much interested in the munic-
ipal ownership of all public utili-
ties, especially street railway and
telephones. My idea is like this:
If the city is not financially able
to build and operate car line on
account of the bonded indebtedness
being too near the legal limit, why
could not the city issue certified
Gates of stock to resident property
owners of the par value of $1.09
each. Hundreds and even thous-
ands of willing buyers would avail
themselves of such stock certifi-
Gates, buying from $1.0O up to 800
worth of shares, these shares to be
assessable and become interest
bearing only after the first car line
is built and fully in operation.
Then the holders of these GER
tificates should be paid a reason
