The only difference between the

On November 26, 1910, the Out

of the fact that Theodore Roosevelt
was its contributing editor, had an
editorial calling attention to "tl1e

Arizona sent a telegram to the pres
ident, reading in part as follows:
CAS- a result of today's fighting
across the international line, but
within gunshot range OF the heart of
Douglas, five Americans were wound
ed on this side Of the line. * * *
In my judgment radical measures are
needed to protect our innocent peo-
pie. x x * 1t will be impossi-
bic to safeguard the people of Doug
las unless the town be vacated"
To this telegram President Taft re-
Piled as follows:
"The situation might justify me in
ordering our troops across the border
* u * but if | take this step,
| must face the possibility of greater
resistance and greater bloodshed and
also the danger of having our motive:
misconstrued and misrepresented, and
of thus %inflaming Mexican popular
Indignation. x 1t is inn
possible to fOrsee or reckon the con-
sequences of such a course; and We
must use the greatest self-restrain1
to avoid it. I. cannot therefore order
the troops at Douglas to cross the
border, but | must ask you and the
local authorities in case the anne dan.

ploy whatever force might be neces-
sary to restore order in Mexico. Sen
ator Root, now one of President Will
sons most bitter critics, said that a
threat of force would be "to reverse
the policy of the United States and
take a step backward in the path Of
c~ivilization.' Senator Lodge. Repub-
lican, and another bitter critic of the
Wilson administration, said that
President TAFT would not ask for
force until our diplomats methods
had failed.
It was on April %, 1911, during the
TAFT administration, that the New
York American (Hearst's) said
Through a laggard and chicken
hearted president, American threats
Of intervention have become tho
laughing stock of the insurgents and
regulars alike

The Mexican situation under the

that in its issue of September p, 1917.
the Baton Rouge, La, Times said:
The American flag is only a rag IN
Mexi>o." Fl Paso. Texas, and other
border papers expressed similar sem
tlments.
All OF which goes to show that the
Mexican problem is an American
problem rather than a Democratic
problem and that it was as much a
problem under Taft as it is under
Wilson, and would be as much a
problem under Hughes as under vii
son or Taft.

letter he declined to do the very

Following is an extract from Presi.

BROTHER AND SISTER
CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY
ANNIVERSARIES

Last Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. II. j.
Savage entertained a company of re-
latives' at their home, the occasion

evening was spent in a social way,
card playing being the diversion of
the evening.
During the afternoon ID. w. Wood
gave Mr.. and Mrs. Savage and his
sister an auto ride, which took them
over a large part of the county.
Henry and his sister received q num-
Der of nice presents and these little
tokens of friendship and esteem they
will prize very highly.
Miss Savage has been here on a
three months visit with her brother
and her cousins. the Campbell famil-
les, but will depart Saturday of this
week for her home in Lincoln, III.
Her visit in Audubon has been one of
pleasure, and having become impress
ed with the manner in which things
are done in good old Iowa. she is re-
luctant to leave but business requires
her presence at home. The Republi-
can joins a host of frinds in hoping
that the Savages will live to enjoy
many more birthdays.

into execution a pleasant surprise on
them last Friday evening when seven
ty-four of their old neighbors and
friends, mostly from Cameron town
ship, went to spend the evening at the
Farnham home, five miles north of
town. When they arrived Mr.. Farm
ham had already retired for the night
but on learning what was taking
place soon appeared in his Sunday
I"duds." The friends had provided
themselves with plenty of refresh
ments which were served at the prop
er time. At a late hour all of the
guests departed voting the Farnhams
most agreeable folks and right royal
entertainers.
