Mexican Problem
An Inheritance;

In the minds of Republican
politicians and editors there is
considerable confusion with re-
spect to modern American-MGx-
icau history. Some of them
seem to think that the Mexican
problem is the creation Of the
Democratic administrator, that
it is a Wilson Problem" The
truth is it is America s problem,
and it was as much a Taft
problem as it has heen a Wilson
problem, and in the event of
Mr.. Hughes election it would
be d hHghes problem. 1t is very
likely that as Mr.. Wilson hands
led tile prdblet1 much as Mr..
Taft did, Mr.. Hughes method
of handling it would not differ
materially from that of Mr..
Wilson.
Let us take a glance at the
record. Mr.. Taft became pres
ident OH Mrch 4, 1909. Within
twenty months after Mr.. Taft'S
Inauguration, trouble iii seriods
form broke out iii Mexico, and
during all of the balante of his
administration, this trouble con-

On November s, 1910, there
was iioting in Mexico City. The
American flag was destroyed,
the windows of American resi-
dences aud business Louses were

American scho6l children was
stoned and the son of the Unit
ed States ambassador was as

continued two or three days.
On November 10th there was
rioting in Guadala5ra. The
American flag was burned and
the windows of American banks
and stores wele broken. These
disturbances continued two OF
three days.
On November 10, 1910, there
was rioting at various points in
Mexico. American consu!ats

general disorder in Mexico.
On March 7, 1911, twenty
ihousand United States regu-
lars were modified along The
Mexican border.
On April 13, 1911, Mexican
forces took Aqua Prieta, bp
posite Dauglas, Arizona. In
In Douglass Arizona, three
Americans were killed and five
were wounded.
On April 4, 1912, Mexicans
again attacked Aqua Prieta,
half the town of Douglas, Ari-
IONA, was Under fire of Mexi
can guns. On that occasion
seven Americans were wound
ed. Govern " Sloan Of Arizona
called upon President Taft for
the p'o ectioti Of Americans.
The president replied declining
to lake military action.
On October 10 and II, 1911,
Mexican rebels attacked and
captured Juarez. One thous-
and American troops patrolled
the Ameri6aii border and In El
Paeo, Texas, five Amerieahs
We're killed and seventeen
wounded.
On May IL. 1911, Secretary Of
State Knox sent to Mexico City
note denying that the United
States intended TO intervene.
On March az, 1919, rifles were
sent to the American legation in
Mexico City for the protection
of American citizens Ameri.
can coloniSts III Northern MeXi-
co focked across the border,
and there was great damage to
American property by the Mex
lean mobs.
On April IA, 1919, the state
department watned Madeto and
Orozco against further odtrages
to American lives and property.
That all occurred prior to the
presidential election of 1912.
On December 4, 1912, Presi-
dent Taft, in a message to con-
gress described his Mexican pol
icy of 'patient non-interven-
ton"
On February O, 1913. there
was an uprising against the
Mexican g0vernthent III Mexico
City. Many days Of the street
fighting followed. Several huns
dred Mexican civilians were
killed, including two American
women
1t was in February, during
President Taft's administration,
that Madero was killed and
Huerta demanded recognition
but there was no recognition of
Huerta and no intel venlion
under the Taft administration
On March Is, 1911, a few
days more than two years after
President Taft was inaugurated
and about two years before his
term expired, President Taft
addressed a letter to the chief of
staff, and in that letter he de-
clined to do the very things
Republicans are now denounc-
ing President Wilson for not do
ng.
Following is an extract from
President Taft's Letter:
"The assumption by the press
that [ contemplate Intervention
on Mexican soil to protect
American lives or property, i;
of course gratuitous, because
seriously doubt whether l have
such authority 80. Indeed az

you know, l have already de-
clined. without Mexican con-
sent, to order a troop of cavalry
to protect the breakwater we
are constructing just across the
border id MeHico III the mouth
of the Colorado river to save the
tfit44terlal Valley, although the
instructors h&re scattered the
Mexican troops and were taking
our horses and supplies and
frightening our workmen
away"
On April II, 1911, tile COVER
nor OF Arizona sent a telegram
to the president, readingin part
as follows:
AS a result Of tg5ay'S fight
ing across the International line,
but within gunshot range OF
the heart Of Douglas, five Amer
leans were wounded on this
side of the line 4. In my judge
mett radical measures are need
ed to protect our innocent peo-
pile. 1t will be impossible to
safeguard the peorle Of Doug
las unless the town he vacated.
To this telegram President
Taft replied as follows:
Tho situation might justify
me in ordering our troops across
the border. :. bnt If 1 take this
step. | mu st face the possibility
of greater resistance and great
er blOodshed, and also the dang
er of having our motives mis-
constrewed and misrepresented,
and Of thus infianing Mexican
popular Indignation 1t Is I'M
possible to fOresee or reckon the
consequences Of such course;
and we must use the greatest
self-restraint to avoid it. [ can
not therefore order the troops at
Douglas to cross the border, but
l must ask you and the local
authorities in case the same
danger occurs, to direct the peo-
pie of Douglas to place them
selves where bullets cannot
reach them, and thus avoid
casualty.
The only difference between
the Wilson policy and the Taft
policy was that Mr.. Wilson
called it "watchful waiting" "
while Mr., Taft called it patient
non-intervenUion." (See Mes

NOT A FRIEND TO BE SOUGHT
Man Who Continually "Blows His
Own Horn" Is as General Prin-
cipe to Be Avoided.

Beware of the person who is contin-
ually telling you of the good he's do
ing.
Something about that man Is not
right.
He has some reason for desiring to
make you think him better than he is.
He either wants to work you into
something, or he wants to reach some
one else through you.
The man who does deeds of kind
ness, prompted by heart which is
right seldom tells Of them. He might
mention one to an intimate friend, per-
haps, but then only incidentally.
The man who gives, not because he
really wants to do so, but because of
some selfish desire. will never get
credit any higher than his own roof.
His desire for effect and his insincer-
ity make him n man to be avoided
never trusted
Look out for the man who wants you
to turn his grindstone.

There is loud chuckling in British
naval circles over the latest story !:
Somewhere in the North sea- a GER
tain iiotilla was ordered to proceed to
sea for gunnery practice. During the
practice heavy fog came on, and the
snip whose turn it was to fire did not
sight the target until within 300 yards
range. She Immediately opened FIRE,
and blew the target clean out of the
Wates. The senior officer of the flo-
lila, who is noted for his caustic
tongue, thereupOn made the following
signal to the vessel in question: IS. O.
70 captain of -: Why did you not
proceed closer and bite it?"
