Mexico in 1906 was under Porfirio
Diaz-the United States under firm
and unflinching protection of the
Oyster Bay noise. The late E. II. Hair
riman was building railroad Just
south of the Arizona line in Mexico,
and in recalling these facts beg to
ask, did Roosevelt attempt TO protect
the rights of Americans and their
property then?
The writer was division engineer
on this railroad construction, and it
might be of interest to know tnat
spent the years 1906-7-S-9 in the
southern Republic, so from first
hand knowledge speak of tho "firm,
unflinching protection" granted us
under both Roosevelt and Taft.
In October, 1906, small bands of
bandits began raiding and killing men
at work on the railroad. These were
small raids, nevertheless they were
OF sufficient Importance to interrupt
the work. We ,.rnealed to the Amer
lean Consul at Guaymas, who simply
told us that his advice was to get out
of the country, leaving our interests
and property TO take care of them
selves. To shake all responsibility,
the Consul said that Diaz was going
to put the whole section under mar
tial law, and that if we did stay it
was at our own risk.
Surely this was great comfort in
being an American citizen. So Harri
man, in order to continue the work.
was forced to pay the Mexican gov
eminent for thirty-fve soldiers to
guard each engineering camp. Do
you think Hartman would have stood
for this hold-up had Roosevelt been
willing to demand of Diaz protection
for American citizens?
Things went from bad to worse.
and on Saturday night, Dec. %, 1906,
only eight kilometres from my camp,
Il little snipe of band of bandits
rode into Torres. just east of Quay
mas, and murdered twelve women
and children and prominent Italian
merchant (Which reminds me of the
Monroe Doctrinc). What did the Big
Stick do? Nothing. What did he do
when the same band killed an Amer
lean contractor and his son. and what
did he do when they killed mail-car-
riers, engineers, mining men? Well,
you guessed right-hc didn't do
thing.
early in 1907 conditions grew so
bad that the construction work had
to be closed down. beg to ask, do
you think Hartman closed down this
line without asking again and again
for protection of the United States
government for his men and prop
erty?
Pray, what did the all-doing Roose-
welt plan for the future? Mexico was
n riot during Taft's Administration.
What did he do? But let me ask an
other question:
If Roosevelt and Diaz couldn't pro-
tect us ten years ago, how could you
expect Wilson, who had never charg-
ed San Juan, to do much in protect
ing American life and property with
The Republican members of our pre-
sent National Congress voting to pro-
hibit American travel on the high
seas? AMERICAN ENGINEER.

when she proposed that he should send
1t to q dealer in New York to fix its
value he accepted the proposition. Miss
Bedford privately wrote the dealer to
fix a price she named herself, and this
she paid the artist.
Now and again he came in from his
sketching tours to see his child, and
every time he came he offered to re-
lieve Miss Bedford Of her charge She
invariably declined to be relieved I'M
less he insisted on his right to take his
baby to himself, and the longer the re-
mOval was put off the more difficult it
would be for Miss Bedford to give UP
the child. But the father would not
accept of the lady's hospitality, and
this made it awkward. If he would
have made his headquarters at the
house when not out painting it would
have been much pleasanter. for the
child was constantly fretting for him.
Finally when he began to get some
return for his pictures Miss Bedford
proposed that if he would make her
house his lodging place when not out
sketching she would permit him to pay
nominal board. After much bag
Cling as to the amount, the lady de
claring what he proposed to pay moth
ing less than robbing him. a compro-
mise was made, and for the rest Of the
summer a room in a wing Of the house
was at his disposal whenever he chose
to use it.
The truth is nat1lra was workine, in
Miss Bedford, the artist and the little
girl to make the three one They were
becoming necessary to one another, and
a time arrived when the woman found
it out. One would suppose that her
antipathy to men in general would
have at least troubled her at finding
herself in a position to succumb. But
it did not. The child stepped in to
render that a thing Of the past. One
day when Miss Bedford was on one
side Of the baby's crib and the father
on the other, he trying to unwind the
| little ones arms from his neck that he
| might go forth to sketch, Miss Bedford
| said:
There's no use In our making our
selves uncomfortable and troubling the
child any longer. You won't propose
to me, that l know. IF the mountain

God knows"
There was something woeful in the
words.
81 Think Miss Bedford went on,
that you had better let me take the
baby to my house."
L don't care to part with all that is
left which I and my wife loved to-
gether,"
A tender cord was touched in Miss
BedfOrd's breast. She forgot her no.
ton Of hating all men in this IN
ion Of a living man with a dead WO-
man, cemented by their child. She said
in a kindly voice:
1T need be only a temporary sojourn
if you prefer it. till you can make other
provision. You can come if you like
Have you had a breakfast?''
No"
DO you know where to get one?"
ono"

you IRE very kind, but I can man
age without your help, I think. The
baby
Yes, the baby. You viii not let your
pride stand in the way Of your baby.
Certainly you will carry her to my
home"
"Of course"
He took the child from her arms and
together they started for the house.
On the way he gave her a brief expIa-
| nation Of the situation. He was an
| artist and, like most artists who have
not made q name, very poor. Not being
! able to keep up a home, he and his wife
| and their child started on O sketching
tour, camping here and there, the hus-
band painting landscapes. The wife
had died, and the husband, not having
any other abode, stuck to his tent. 1t
was d pathetic story, and Miss Bed
| fOrd's horror for man-at any rate this
particular man-melted before it.
When they reached the house she said
| to him:
1T Is in your power to do me a kind
ness. Sit down to the same breakfast
table with me and your child. I shall
enjoy every mouthful you eat more
than you can conceive"
He gave iq to this way Of putting it.
Miss Bedford placed herself between
him and his child, and it is question
able which she the most enjoyed help
ing, the man or the child. He had
managed to get the simple food re-
quired for his little girl For her he
would take what did not belong to him
or accept 1t from strangers, but not fol
himself. He was very hungry and ate
a great deal, his hostess pressing hin
to do So After he had finished she
said to him:
"You have done me one favor; nov
I wish you to do me another Leave
the child here with me while you make
your sketches. You are welcome tt
come here to see her whenever 70,
ike, and you may feel privileged t.
take her away when you can provid
for her"
The artist could scarcely conceal Thu
relief this offer brought him. "Since
have only tent for her." he said, &c
have no right to deprive her of tn
comfort you can give her"
"And you have no right to depriy
me Of the happiness I shall have Il
taking care Of her.
An hour later the artist kissed hi
child and took his departure. The ten
disappeared, and nothing was seen O
man or tent for several weeks. The
