BY Edward keating,

From Colorado.

of the United States to use the
armed forces of thi; country
against Gen. Vitoriano Huerta.
AS my readers can readily under
stand, l cast that vote with ex-
treme reluctance. l hate war
and all it's trappings. | would
not tear dozen American boys
from their mothers arms and sac
rifice them on the bloody altar of
Mars for everything Of value in
Mexico.
But-sometime the paths leads
across sanguary battletields. and
nations which would fulfill their
destiny must tread that path with
resolution and courage.
l knew, and every man in Con-
gress knew, that Wilson and
Bryan would not unsheath the
sword except as a last resort, and
so when the President told us
that the time for action had ar
rived we rallied to his support
eravely but with genuine loyalty
and fervor.
Of course, there were some ex-
ceptions-scme men could not
put aside their partisan passions
and become patriots in an hour.
They indulged in carping criti-
cism of the Presidents course.
and outlined, with many pom
drous plattitudes, what they
wjuld do were they in his place.
The Tories of the Senate even
suggested that it might require
week to amend and debate the
Flood resolution, and under the
rules of that august body there
was no way to throw and tie"
them.
Then the President proved him
self worthy successor of 'Old
Hickory" and while the Tories
talked and talked and talked, he
ordered Fletcher to seize the GUS
tom house at Vera Cruz, and thus
prevented Huerta from securing
the shipload Of war supplies
which he was expecting from
Germany.
TACTICS OF THE TORIES.
The country applauded and the
Tories were confounded, but they
continue to snarl at the Presi-
dents heels, They appreciate
that he is handling a very deli
cate situation, but instead of adj
vising and sustaining him they
are seeking to render his position
as difficult as possible. We are
told that treason consists of "giv-
ing aid and comfort to the ene-
mics of ones country" If that
be a correct definition many OF
these Tories are approaching the
line which divides Senatorial
privileges from disloyalty to the
nation and, in my humble judg-
ment, some Of them have crossed
that lire. .'ii,.>
Back of the Tories looms the
figure of Big Business. Big BUS
mess has big investments in Mex
leo. 1t owns great ranches, i'm
mense smelters, rich mines and
valuable concessions of one kind
and another. Big Business ac-
quired these holdings under the
regime of Portfirio Diaz, who
gave the lands Of Mexico to a
few favorites and endeavore6 to
make the masses Of the Mexican
people slaves.
