Great God How much lower must

AS feeble excuse for his fourth
paper protest, Mr.. Wilson pretends he
is waiting to hear from the country,
as though go days ago he had not heard
from Maine to California the angry de-
mands of his countrymen that these
gross outrages cease
The truth is, Mr.. Wilson is for peace
at any price, disciple of the man who
made him, Bryan. He is a writer of
nicely turned phrases just as Bryan is a
spouter of them, and like him incapable
of action as his Mexican muddle clearly
proves.
If Mr.. Wilson will call Congress to-
gether he will find out what the peoples s
representatives think about the matter.
This many able statesman in all parties
think should at once be done. But Mr..
Wilson, like Mr.. Taft, does not believe
in the capacity of the people to manage
their own affairs, and so prefers to do
the job himself.

FEAR ROOSEVELT COUP
Republican Presidential AspiraH.s
Anxious Over Convention.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Friends of
candidates for the Republican Presi-
dental nomination are becoming
alarmed over information that reach
;es them from various parts of the
country that a definite and apparent
ly concerted movement is on to make
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt a factor
in the party's National Convention
next year. There is nothing thus far
TO show that the Colonel has entered
the list with the object OF capturing
the nomination
The understanding is that it is in
tended to place his name before the
convention with backing of dele
gates formidable enough to give him
a say in the ultimate selection Of the
standard bearer, but without the in
tention of nominating Colonel Roose-
welt himself
In spite. Of this understanding men
here who are actively interested in
the candidates. of Republicans with
Presidential ambitions are apprehen-
sive that the Colonel will enter the
convention with the object of captur-
ing the prize if the opportunity Of
fers. They are of the opinion that
in any event his position will be
somewhat similar to that he assumed
in 1908, when those who opposed the
candidacy of William II. Taft for the
Republican nomination were confront
ed by the slogan attributed to the Col
onel IF you don't take Taft you've
got to take me-"
The worry of the friends of candi-
dates has been increased by trust
worthy information that Senator
Jones of Washington, Republican, has
written letter in which he indicates
that Colonel Roosevelt will enter the
Presidential primaries in that Pacific
Coast State and that he is bound TO
win Overwhelmingly. According to
