MEXICAN GORE
Assailed the Administration Because
1t Does Not Recognize Govern
ment by Assassination

Washington, Jan. 17.-Interven-
ton in Mexico as the only result of
the present policy of the United
States, was predicted in the House
to-day by Representative Gillet, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts, during
q war speech in which he assailed
Secretary Bryan.
Recognition of Huerta early in the
Mexican trouble, Mr.. GilBet said,
would have offered the best chance
of quieting the disturbance.
When the war comes,'' said he,
1t will be no excuse that the Secre-
tary of State has delivered brilliant
speeches in favor of peace. An emo
tional and oratorical glorifcation of
peace is not sufficient atonement for
d policy whose legitimate and logical
result is war
Il think when our Secretary of
State accepted that distinguished po-
sition We had a right to expect from
him painstaking and assiduous de-
yction. His ante-room ought to
have been throngei with those ready

than that he should read interna-
tional law lectures and deliver chau-

requires earnest and persistent ap-
| plication.

looking them up a bit and finds that
they have prosperei greatly under
American rule in comparison to their

light of that prosperity and protec-

servative element among their peo-
pie is not in big hurry for inde-
for the United States if she cut away
from many of the 5000 big and lit
tie bodies of land that owe her al

would be good thing for them. In
fifteen years the number of school
houses in Porto Rico has increased

multiplied FIVE times and the death

Washington, Jan. 17.-Defance OF
administration disapproval OF the
postoffice appropriation bill because
the provision exempting all the
2 400 assistant postmasters in the
country from civil service, was Yoic-
ed in the House debate on that meas

Postoffice Committee. He attacks

superflous appendage to the repub
lie" and "a gang OF political repro
bates and society degenerates that
we ought to wipe out of existence"
Mr.. Moon said he had received
letter from Postmaster General
Burleson saying the President did
not approve the section regarding as
sistant postmasters.

.RADIUM RESOURCES
SHOULD BE RESERVED
Colorado People Can Hardly Oppose
Government Aid fOp Cure
of Cancer

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE re-
ported opposition OF the people Of
Colorado TO the governments plan
to withdraw from further apprOpria-
ton the radium-bearing lands upon
is hardly credited by Representative
Foster, chairman OF the House COM
mittee On mines and mining. II is
the purpose of the government to
have the carontite ores in these lands
mined and the radium extracted for
the treatment Of cancer and other
malignant diseases in the hospitals
of the country. The fear is eX-
pressed that If this step is not taken,
these deposits will become the basis
o. private speculation and that the
Iaiium, when obtained. viii be sold
at almost prohibitiye prices. This,
ii is claimed, has been the manner Of
exploitation so far, and the result is
that the United States. although hay-
ing almost a world monopoly of the
radium-bearing ores, has less radium
for the treatment Of its hundreds Of
thousands of sufferers from cancer,
than any prominent country of
Europe.
In statement issued today, Mr..
Foster said: In view of the tre-
mendous humanitarian problem in
volved, | cannot believe that the
good people of Colorado will oppose
plan which seeks to stop the ter
rible rayages of disease that is
+ levying a toll of $1,000 human be-
| ings every year in the United States.
find it impossible to believe that
any considerable number of the citi-
zens of Colorado can be back of any
such movement, unless they have
been woefully misled by a few.
IVES all remember yividly the
sinking of the Titanic with it's loss OF
1,500<lives and how the great, sym
pathetic heart of this republic beat
faster lin those anxious days. Al
that time, any demand for relief that
might have been made would have
been overwhelmingly met, by Colo.
RADIO and by any other state Of the
Union, for a great calamity knew nc
state lines.
The deaths from cancer each
week in the United States represent
d tragedy as great as the sinking o.
the Titanic-ffty such tragedies in {
years time. We could not save the
| victims of the Titanic, but Colorado
has, within her boundaries, on ths
public domain, a mysterious magic
power that gives every evidence O
its ability to stop this continuous anC
ever increasing death roll from can

Some OF those who are opposins
the withdrawal OF the land declare
that suffering humanity will not bs
deprived of this great boon if pri
yate parties exploit these ores Well

we can only Judge from what has
happened. It was less than year
ago that the bureau OF mines made
the discovery that tens and tons OF
this precious ore had keeh shipped
from Colorado TO Europe and that no
radium had ever been made in the
United States. In the year 1912,
sufficient Of this carnotite ore to
make nine grams OF radium, the
cream of the deposits, vas shipped
10 Europe, while the total radium in
this country at the present time is
less than two grams. We shipped
this wonderful carnotite at iron-ore
prices and then our surgeons bought
the radium back at diamond prices.
We are now making raiium IN the
United States, but | understand that
most of this too is going 10 Europe.
have just heard o. contract with

surgeons of this country who have

MUST SHOW VOTERS
Vague Promises viii Not Bring
Republican Victory.
With lis Present "standpat' Leader.
ship the People Are Not to Be
Blamed for Their Distrust of
the Organization.

1t strikes the Republic that the vot'
or would like to know what ground
there is for supposing that the Repub-
lican leopard will change its spots, If
the people decide to return its leaders
to power, as Senator Borah recently
promised. The signs of any such
turning toward an unwonted virtue
are difficult to discern.
In congress the leadership Of the
party has not changed. James Mann
heads the Republican forces in the
house. He is the same Jim Mann who
has trained with the regular Republic
an machine ever since the Fifty-fifth
congress. He. was faithful and true
in the days OF Cannonism; he stood
pat when the leadership which Sen
ator Borah says wrecked the party
was actively engaged in managing It.
In the senate, Root, Lodge. CALM
ger. Penrose, Smoot and all that is
left Of the old guard continue to head
the party and the Republicans OF
Pennsylvania have nominated Penrose
for another term. Gallinger has an
nounced that he will be a candidate
for reelection in New Hampshire,
Joseph Foraker is asking Ohio Re-
publicans to send him back to the
senate after a prolonged vacation, and
Uncle Joe Cannon has his hat In the
ring.
There is a quartet-Penrose, Gal
linger, Foraker and Cannon-who evi.
IDENTIFY believe that the Republican
party of the future is the Republican
party of its present leadership and
also the Republican party of the past,
which kept them in Office to do the
bidding of protected monopoly.
Is there any reason for accepting
the rosy predictions of the senator
from Idaho against the Judgment OF
these old foxes of Republican politics?
Is there reason for thinking that
Senator Borah's hope is more sub
stantial than the recorded fact that
Penrose is the Republican candidate
for the senate in Pennsylvania?
If there is any such reason, the pub.
Usher accounts of the senator's speech
fail to reveal them. All of the evi.
dence available points to the conclu-
sion that the Republican party today
is the same organization 1t was IN
July, 1912, when 1t stood on it's record,
now repudiated by the reorganizers.
The men who are protesting an in
tentlon to reform the Republican party
are the men who wish to see it in
the saddle in Washington, and, making
all due allowance for the sincerity Of
Senator Borah, they are to be judged
by their evident motives.
OF course, having taken sound
thrashing, they premise to sin no
more, but before they are believed by
anybody they should bring forth fruits
meet for repentance. UP to date their
overt conduct gives no evidence of a
change of heart.-St. Louis Republic.

Wilson His Own Cabinet.

Mr.. Wilson has been his own for
eign minister, as he has been his own
cabinet. The Mexican policy is his
policy. He must accept blame for
whatever happens, and to him will be
accorded the credit If he brings about
peace without having forced his own
country into war. He has put his i'm
press upon the state department. as
he has upon all the other departments
of the government. He controls con-
gress. He dominates Washington. He
is the most masterful figure American
politics has known-as determined as
Jackson, but with the persuasion and
tact that were foreign to Jackson's
nature He has done things. Among
the men to whom the White House
Is background there is no more in.
teresting study, none with nature
more perplexing, none whose future
defies prediction. Time will deliver
the verdict.-Century Magazine.
