GOVERNMENT OF
MEXICO TOTTERING

VERA CRUZ, Mex, May 19.-Dr.
Aureliano Urrutia, Huerta's former
minister of the interior, called 'Huer-
ta's secret executioner," is refugee
here. General Funston is protecting
him.
Urrutia said: "Many have been ex-
ecuted secretly in Mexico the past
year but do not know how many.
| have never kept count. Senator
Dominguez, who criticised Huerta in
the senate, saying that the criticism
was his last will and testament, was
killed. But the story | took him to
the sanitarium and cut his tongue out
before the shooting, is lie. | was
minister of the gubernacion and re-
sponsible for executions, but only
obeyed orders. Huerta ordered US to
shoot Rendon, the Maderista sena-
tor. We carried out the orders, as
there was nothing else to do"
When asked who killed Madero, he
said: 81 know nothing except that
the guards shot him when his friends
tried to rescue him."
Urrutia declares he fled because
there was plot among the people to
kill him. There is plot against 9th
er cabinet members and Huerta, he
said. He is certain the whole govern
ment is breaking down and expect the
people will soon rise and kill the
Huerta leaders.

who has awakened to the responsible
ties of his calling, must have In MS
heart an abiding faith in the ultimate
working out of the great scheme or
the trial of humanity. He must have
the courage of his convictions, be ever
ready to fight, quick to forgive ana
forget, a skin like rhinocerous, an
unfaltering love for his brother man
as a whole, and an untiring pen.
Then, if he wills, he can die confident
that he has had some small share in
the progress of his age. If he is less
than that he would better go back to
his nets or his spade and pick. The
same is true of the preacher and the
teacher.
But we believe the most powerful
factor for good or for evil today is
the press. An united press can make
or halt war; can denounce injustice,
and Justice rules again; can soothe q.
populace or stir 1t to deeds.
And today the press of this country
is pointing to the everlasting truth of
the gospel of Jesus Christ. 1t is not
presenting it in creeds or from narrow
or selfish angles; it is taking it up in
sledge hammer logic, and the minister
that is awake feels that he is no longer
alone. He has a powerful and never
sleeping ally; his work is supplement-
ed, filled out, strengthened; he feels
that the prayers of Christendom are
being answered, and his heart Is glad.
The press and the pulpit are natural
allies; they should pull together and
communities would be blessed.

clear, and it will confront every SEN
ator and representative on election
day.
Instead of promoting peace and
good will between the United States
and Great Britain, repeal would tend
to destroy the confidence and friend
ship that should exist. Millions of Am
orleans would feel that Great Britain
had insisted upon an absurd and I'M
Just construction of the Hay -Paunce-
fote treaty in order to deprive the
United States of substantial right.
The effect of this feeling would be
Injurious to good relations between
the two countries. A demand would
be made for the abrogation of the
treaty. with or without England's con-
sent.
The advocates of repeal and sur
render of American rights are playing
with fire if they think they are re-
moving causes of irritation between
the United States and England. They
are stirring up flames of resentment
in the hearts of the American people.
No nation can attempt to wrest from
the United States its complete and
absolute control of the Panama Canal
and expect TO retain the confidence
and friendship of the people OF TINS
country.
