CLEVER, BUT SOPHISTRY.

Clever indeed was the seemingly plausible way in which
Mr. Phander Knox, who secretary of President
as cabinet sought to demonstrate at republican banquet
at Ptburg Thursday night that the Wilson national admins
raon did not inherit the present Mexican trouble from the
Taft regime and that Mr. Taft had proper chance
nze Huera and thus possibly have avered future compca
lions.
His version, however, is sophistry
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Knox said:
What Mr. Wilson inherited from Mr.. Taft was an
outstanding, unanswered diplomatic request to the de
facto government at Mexico city for definite
ances for the security of American rights and the ad
Justment OF American claims preliminary of
American claims preliminary to the consideration
OF the question of recognition. What Mr.. Wilson
did was to repudiae the policy of his predecessor in
this and in all other things and create situation
that made the adjustment of American rights mpos-
sibe
The revolutions with which the Taft admnistra-
ton had to contend of comparatively short dura
tion while there has been in Mexico practically ever
since Mr. Wilson came in and refused to recognize
Huerta continued anarchy There time
during the Taft administration when there was in
Mexico city government recognized in large part
Mexico and conducting its foreign relations with the
world. Huerta, who came in so shortly before Presi-
dent Taft went out recognized by twenty-odd
countries, as recall it, including practically all if not
ALL OF the great powers of Europe that Mr. Taft left
the Mexican situation with Mexico pacified and with
the strongest who has appeared since the days of
Dlaz in power
Whether the time brief or otherwise in which Mr.
TAFT could have made determined stand regarding Mexican
ctons toward Americans whether or no the had time or
lid not think he had opportunity to recognize Huer the fact
that in the crisis which developed American
alrs IN Mexico were concerned Mr. Taft did act with
lther precision or promptness.
And thus the longer the Mexican chaotic situation con-
lnued the worse grew until when time for Mr. Taft
hand the elns OF to Mr. Wilson he also
transferred the troublesome and weghy Mexican situation
y that time grown to great dimensions
PRESIDENT Taft as man has and president had many
mrabe Qualities but during his tenure of office as
mel executive OF these United States he characterized as
demonstrating prompt and decisive action any emergency
dlven due time to think ove he might have acted right
most cases OF international completely but whether that
M tendency was fault or otherwise, the fact remains

n0YNE'S FAME Ma.
TlONAL
The Courageous States Attorney
Would Make an Ideal Candi-
date for Vice President.

Maclay Hoyne IL the one Democrat
in the West who has attracted the
attention OF the country on account Of
his fearless administration of his great
office.
The New York states attorney has
frequently attracted nationwide at.
tention by his attacks on grafters.
Chicago, the central metropolis Of
the country, holds the attention Of the
American people to greater extent
than any other city.
That Is why Maclay Hoyne is today
a National Character.
His fearless prosecution of crooked
policemen, who believed themselves
to be all powerful, has won for him
a place in American politics that will
grow with time.
This was only one Of hundred vic.
tories won by him for the cause Of
right and justice.
Illinois could have no stronger can.
didate for National honors to offer
to the Democratic party at st. Louis
next summer.
There is no Illinoisan named in any
party for high national preferment
! now, whose record can at all compare
with that Of Hoyne.
He has done things.
And what he has done has been for
the public good.
Wilson and Hoyne would be an in.
vincible combination.
