More Light on How General
Huerfa Recruits Mexican Troops

for two months. Whereupon the ire
pressible medical students held another
demonstration Of JOY because school
was out" If President Wilson were to
order that all the clerks and secretaries
in the postoillee department. for in
stance, be formed into military COM
pany and were to be drilled, he would
cause similar CONSERVATION to that
which followed such an order by Huerta
the other day. Huerta's order extended
to every government Office in the capi-
tai and every day on some of the many
drill grounds around the capital some
company of white-handled, tender-footed
young clerks may be seen hiking OF
swinging guns in the hot sun.
It was some months ago that
Huerta ordered that the 1000 city
policemen in the capital be QUILTED
with rifles, organized on a military
basis and drilled daily. There is
nothing in the world milder than a
policeman I'm Mexico City, and the
idea Of being converted into soldiers
did not appeal to them, especially as
It didn't mean any increase in
salaries. There was some talk of
strike and it was even said that. in
retaliation, the police force had join
ed a plot against Huerta, but these
projects died down and now, any day.
companies of policemen, carrying
rifles and ammunition belts and look
ing exactly like soldiers may be seen
marching away to some suburban
drill ground. All of these Soldiers"
which Huerta has gained by militar-
izing the government departments
the schools and the police. have yield
ed him an increase force of perhaps
5000 fighting men in the capital. And
the beauty of it is, they don't cost
| him anything, aside from the expense
for uniforms and rifles, for they re-
ceive no army wages nor rations. in
| all these matters Huerta is profiting
| by the mistakes of Madero. During the
ten days of fighting in the capital be-
fore Madero was overthrown, every
policeman disappeared from the
streets. There we're 1000 of them at
the time, a greater number than the
soldiers engaged on both sides, and
whoever had been able to gather the
policeman together and control them
would have been able to hold the
capital. Huerta doesn't intend that
the policemen shall go in hiding, il
he is forced to defend the City OF
Mexico.

Editorial Opinion
nm CONGREssMAN
BUTLER DO RIGHT

BUTLER DO RIGHT?
From the West Chester star.
The Star does not believe that Repre-
sentative Thomas S. Butler, by his vote
against sustaining the President in his
Mexican policy, properly voiced the
wishes of his constituency IN Chester
and Delaware counties. While we all
are opposed to war, these counties have
always been intensely loyal to their
country's interests and have proven
their LOYALTY on all occasions by
promptly responding TO the first call of
duty, and il is further attested in the
history of the nation and its famous
battles for the honor and the welfare
of the nation
The congressman did not even repre-
sent his party, as on the same vote the
Republican members were lined up
strongly with the majority. Even
"Ifncle Joe" Cannon. one of the vigOr-
Gus exponents of Republican principles,
declared that this was a time when
every man should stand by the Presi-
dent.
President Wilson has been strongly
opposed TO war all along, and so Wig
orous have been his peace methods that
he has been severely criticized by many
of the people of this nation. The vast
majority of our one hundred million
population have probably been "waI
crazy" and this frenzy was Hndled by
the many atrocities that have been per
petrated on American men and women
in Mexico. The President acted as q
safety valve" as long as he could.
While we live in peace-loving com
munity. there is no doubt but that the
sentiment of our people is with oul
President. II seems 10 us that Con
gresham Butler should have considered
this widespread sentiment when he tool
the action he did in the halls Of Con
gress. We cannot help but admire an,
praise an attitude that would prevent
the shedding of human blood and thu
sacrifice of noble men who are Away
ready to respond to a call to duty whel
their country's honor is at stake. Blu
/ there are times for the opposite action.

The meeting at the courthouse last
night was certainly tribute TO the
honor of any city. As General Carr
and Mr.. Southgate said at the opening.
IL was not a prohibition meeting, but
really an Indignation meeting.
(, There lis a campaign In Virginia at
this time for prohibition and the old
cry is being set up that prohibition
does not prohibit . In support of the
allegations about the conditions in
dry States and especially in North
Carolina the Richmond Journal, the
organ of the vets, sent a cores
pondent to Durham ITO. write up the
town" He interviewed many citizens.
including Mayor Brogden and other Of
ficials. Every one denied ever saying
what this press agent of the LIQUOR In
terests put in their mouths. To sup
port still further his charges against
prohibition. this correspondent said
the express office at the union depot
had been enlarged since the city went
dry" to accommodate the package
trade In liquors, that the jail had been
enlarged and recorders court pro-
yided to care for the increase in the
violations of law under prohibition.
These ISLANDERS on the fair name OF
the city were continued until n pic
ture OF anarchy was drawn in Durham
n
papers with these UNANIMOUSLY false
articles were circulated all over vir-
ginia-
People from the Old Dominion began
to write letters here to ask what
was the matter with Durham" II was
then that General Carr. MFR. Southgate
and others called the indignation
meeting not only to show that pro
hibition does prohibit" but also that
the reports about Durham were false.
with over $50 representative citizens
present on a short call, the sentiment
of the people was never more forcibly
expressed The resolutions adopted
will be circulated in Virginia but only
parts OF the many excellent speeches
will reach the readers. II the people
of Virginia could have heard those
speeches last night and Witnessed the
unusual applause and enthusiasm they
would realize how things have been
nisrepresented to them One Of the
strongest points of the evening was
in the statements of speakers that
similar tactics were used In this State
In maligninE and abusing those who
favored prohibition or even did their
respective duties in the enforcement
of prohibitive laws.
There has been such public
meeting in this city for years as the
one of last night to protest against
the fa1sehoods published about Dur
ham in Richmond and the speeches and
resolutions indicate how the citizens
stand. not for prohibition alone, but
also for the honor of their city and
the respect for law.--Durham Daily
