Kansas City, May 31.--An open
pocket knife was thrown at Colonel
Roosevelt here as his motor car turn
ed into Twenty-third street during a
Memorial day parade.
Wether by accident or design, the
knife struck John McGrath, the colo
neTs secretary, on the arm and fell
outside the car. It was found in the
street after the parade had passed.
| Colonel Roosevelt was standing
bowling in his motor car when the in
cident occurred.
E. c. Shell, a member of the Ameri-
can legion, was walking by the side
of the car, part of the escort. Sud-
denly Shell heard something strike the
machine. He glanced downward and
saw an open pocketknife at his feet.
Shell picked up the knife and handed
it to policeman. The officer looked
into the crowd, but it was so dense
he made no effort to make an arsest
Il think the knife was thrown by tall
man wearing a brown suit and straw
hat that / saw in the crowd when I
turned around" said Shell.
Roosevelt Didn't Know Of It.
Colonel Roosevelt did not know Of
the incident and no report had been
made to the police in the afternoon.
According to Shell, the knife had a
wooden handle and one blade.
A speech by Roosevelt was the prin-
cipal event on Kansas City's pro.
gramme for the observance of Mem
orial day. The former president ar
rived from Chicago. Plans of those

Roosevelt was given tremendous
welcome and his progress through the
streets was a continuous ovation.
In the hotel lobby scores Of school
girls were craweded, and as the colonel
entered they sang 1.-THE Star-Spangled
Banner and America" Roosevelt
stood spelbound until they had finish

"You delightful persons" the colonel
addressed them. "Id gladly have

Kansas City put on fag-waving.
ear-splitting demonstration that for
noise and numbers has been eclipsed

his chariot wheels al day long. "Old
women of both sexes" is what he
called them. Each time he put them
on display the populace staged a bed
lam that sounded like the noise of
1912 all over again.
In his formal Memorial day address
the colonel sandwiched in several off
hand speeches. T. r. brought out
one new phase Of the preparedness
question. 1t was that national de-

We have not sufficient horses for our

Our machine guns are pitifully few IN

Standing Loyalty by the government

we are to be blind to the refusal to
take measures that would have mill
gated, if not prevented the present
situation. Why we are even told that
there is a dearth Of ammunition for
cur troops. But what have We done
for Mexico IN the meantime? On
March IA, 1912, President Taft placed
an embargo on ammunition and guns
going into Mexico from the United
States. On February 3. 1914, this EN-
barge was taken off by President Will
son. On April 81, 1914. at the time
of the Vera Cruz occupation, Mr.. Will
son restored the embargo, and on
September 9, 1914. he changed his
mind and again lifted it. On October
p, 1915, when the A. B. C. Confer
ence was in, session, or soon there
after, he again restored the embargo
on ammunition and guns consigned to
everyone in Mexico but Carranza and
his followers. This was done to aid
the irreconcilable Carranza against
Wilson'S old ally, Villa. And now
look where We are.

FOR HONEST ADVERTISING

The honest advertising movement
ought to be greatly encouraged by the
manner in which the honest advertis-
ing laws Of California are enforced.
AS a class the merchants Of Wheeling
have not been accused Of STOPPING to
the receptions that are practiced else
where for the sake Of attracting
little more trade. The activities Of
the California State authorities, how
ever are OF interest in showing the
scope Of the laws OF that State. 1t
started when the State sealer OF
weights and measures contended that
selling sugar at less than cost as a
bait to induce other trade was VIC
lation Of the advertising laws. The
application, however, to any cut-rate
store is causing great deal OF In

A DEPENDENT NATION

War with Mexico would present
few readjustment features for the
United States, but in the impoverish-
ed condition the Mexican republic
finds itself in it Is impossible to con-
ceive OF her conducting either often
sive or defensive warfare for any
length OF time. Her financial posi-
ton Is not to be spoken Of in the
same breath with that Of this coun-
try. The amount Of the present Mex
lean external debt, together with in
terest in default, is in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000, most Of the bonds
being held in France and England.
That the country would be able to
get assistance through loans from
other nations is not considered prob
able The United States, which would
be the most feasible place for seeking
a loan under existing circumstances,
would be cut off by the war, while
Europe has its hands full financing
hostilities there. The amount Of Mex
ico's interior debt is reported to be
something in excess Of $4,000, 900,
and the general impoverished condi-
ton of the people and the country as
a whole would initiate against the
successful notation Of any large IN
ternal loans.
In commerce and trade Mexico Is
almost entirely dependent on the
United States. One OF the most strik-
ing features Of the analysis Of the
trade between the two countries is
that Mexican imports from the United
States are principally made up Of the
necessities Of existence, while the
American imports from Mexico are
not essential. One Of the most i'm
portant American imports from Mex
leo Is slsal grass, which Is obtained
almost solely from this source. But
a stoppage Of the supply would merely
necessitate the substitution Of manila
hemp. which commands higher price,
In the manufacture Of binder twine.
Other commodities in which Ameri-
cans are largely interested are cop
per, hides and cattle, and the alb
sence Of these imports, trade repre-
sentatives say, would restrict bust
ness to some extent. The coffee trade
also would be affected. although in
less degree, as moderate proportion
OF American coffee imports come from
Mexico.
The establishment OF an effective
blockade Of Mexican ports would pre-
vent the importation of contrabrand
goods into Mexico, including arms and
munitions Of war. The constant bandit
warfare carried on among the popu-
lace has undoubtedly exhausted much
OF the munitions to carry through a
war for more than short period.
