SCORES BAKER
AS SLANDERER
Roosevelt Sizes Him Up as EX-
quisitely Unfit; Amiable
Pacifist

Las Vegas. y. NJ, Oct. 24.--Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt here last night
after rapid-fire trip through Albu-
querque denounced Secretary of War
Baker for the latters reported COM
parison of Washington's soldiers with
Mexican revolutionists and criticised
the President for putting Secretary
Baker in the Cabinet in the first place
and for keeping him there after the
reported comparison.
When men occupy an improper and
unratriotic positlon ana seek to justify
themselves by precedents from the
past IT is almost impossible for them
To avoid misrepresentins the facts they
desire to quote in their favor the
Colonel said
"Mr. Baker is an amiable pacifst
who. / do not doubt. could render re-
spectacle service along other lines, but
he is exquisitely unfit for his present
position.
"Mr. Baker has been engaged re-
Gently on several occasions in the de-
fense of Mr.. Wilson. His effort is to
defend Mr.. Wilson's attitude toward
Carranza and the Mexican bandits gen.
orally by alleging that Washington and
his soldiers stood on substantially the
astute as Mr. Wilson. but he is more
sincere and straightforward.
HE certainly understands nothing
of efficiency in war, and ii is now ap-
parent that he regards all wars as
standing on the same level of infamy
and all soldiers as equally disreputable
Among his recent exploits was an
elaborate comparison of Washington
and his followers and soldiers in the
Revolutionary War with Carranza and
the other bandits who are responsible
for the present witches Sabbath in
Mexico.
This statement of Mr.. Bakers ac-
guessed in by the silence of Mr. Will
son." said Colonel Roosevelt, shows
that Mr.. Wilson in his heart believes
that Washington was no better than
Villa or Carranza; that the men of the
Revolution stood on level with the
ruisoreant crew who. during the last
three years and a half in Mexico, have
murdered Americans by the hundreds
and Mexicans by the tens of thousands.
These men have perpetrated every
species of outrage upon women and
children and have turned all Mexico
into a hell of starvation. disease and
misery; they have done this with the
active or passive assistance of the
american government under the lead
ership of MIR. Wilson and his cabinet
officer who now defends them by the
foulest slander on the men who made
us r nation"
Colonel Roosevelt said that the man
who professed such doctrines was
wholly unfit to stay in the Cabinet
and the President who retained him
was wholly unfit to remain President

Here is an apron that every busy
woman will want for while it is extremely
practical and protective it also is pretty
and becoming. The fronts are extended
to form the belt. The left side of the
belt is passed through at the opening in
the right and the ends are buttoned
together at the back. the one button and
buttonhole being all that is required to
hold the garment in place. The sleeves
can be made to the wrists or to the elbows,
or they can be omitted altogether. Here,
striped percale is shown but the ging-
hams and lawns and fabrics that are
used for sturdy working aprons all are
appropriate. If it is desirable to obtain
an ornamental effect it would be pretty
to make the apron of blue or rose color,
or the new yellow chambray and to
stitch with black, for stitching on con-
trasting color is much used this season.
