Personal Prattle
By John J. Carney
Contributing E ditor

"Mr. President, before the subject is
passed over and the resolution laid
upon the table, l wish to express my
entire dissent from the assumption
which seemed to me to be carried in
the expression of opinion on the part
OF the senator from Missouri. Grant
ing that injuries have been done to
American citizens which ought to be
redressed, that wounds have been in
f1icted, that lives have been taken, that
property has been destroyed, it does
not follow, sir, that we should begin
the process of securing redress for
those injuries by threat of force on
the part of great and powerful ma
! ton against a smaller and weaker ma.
ton. That, sir. is to reverse the pol.
icy of the United States and to take
step backward in the pathway of civil
ization.
There is no reason whatever, sir,
to assume, if injuries have been done
Of the kind described, that the gov.
eminent of Mexico is unwilling to
make due redress upon having those
injuries and claims for redress pre-
sented to her in the ordinary course
of peaceful negotiation; and the pas
sage Of such a resolution as has been
described, equivalent to a declara-
ton of war, would be to preface the
ordinary demand-the demand which

leo in their distress, a just sense of
the duties that we owe to that friendly
people, and the duties that we owe
to the peace of the world must forbid
our asserting to or yielding to any
such course" Meaning the course
provided for by the Stone resolution.
Again, in April, 1914, when reso-
luton was pending in the senate to
give President Wilson the power to
move the navy into Vera Cruz for the
purpose of resenting an insult to the
flag, Senator Root rose and inveighed
against the injustice of the sugges-
ton and unrighteousness of the pur-
pose, as will be seen by the follow
ing from page $685. of The Congress
ional Record, April 81, 1914:
"The course which is proposed is
the forcible armed compulsion of the
people or some Of the people of
friendly nation, the armed, compulsion
of government which think we all
are agreed is an existing de facto gov
ernment, having in it's control the
greater part of the territory of Mex
! ico-the armed compulsion of that
government to make amends to the
United States for an insult to it's
fad.
what is the justification"
And after other observations the
senator continues:
I'VE can not justify, sir, upon con-
fidence which we all have in the Pres
ident. We must justify upon grounds
which commend themselves to our
consciences, to our intelligence. to the
conscience of the American people,
and to the deliberate judgment of the
civilized world"
Then proceeding the senator said,
characterizing the resolution brought
forth from the democracy demanding
action:
"It is intervention, technically, but
it is war in it's essence that we are

ditions.
The present administration inherited
a situation in Mexico that was hor.

lawyer settles his cases out of court,

the country he dare not be rash or
do the attractive, dramatic, impulsive
thing when the burden of his act
Placing Party Above Country
Since the New York state republi-
can convention, the metropolitan
press, Of reactionary tendencies, have
accepted the keynote speech of for
mer Senator Root as the tocsin Of the
presidential campaign this year. and
their tone has been taken up by most
Of their two by four echoes through
out the country. It is almost incon.
ceivable that the eminent chairman
Of that convention would deliberately
make a political plaything out of a
possible long and bloody war, as we'll
as stultify his record in the United
States senate.
Yet this is just what this distin.
guished statesman did when he pro-
ceeded to arraign the Wilson admin
istration on the ground that it has
failed to protect the lives of Amer
leans in Mexico by declining to de-
clare war against that country, and
charged that the conduct of the ad-
ministration had been so supine as to
be worthy only of condemnation and so
lacking in courage and so wanting
in craftsmanship as to call for it's
immediate ousting by the American
people.
A glance at the files of the Con-
gressional Record reveals the. degree
of turpitude to which a political exig-
ence will drive such an eminent citi-
zen. 1t will be remembered that five
years ago this month seven American
citizens were murdered just this side
of the Mexican border line near Doug
las, Arizona, and eleven others were
wounded, and Intervention was then
strongly demanded.
The Record shows that on April II,
1911, Senator Stone, of Missouri, now
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, introduced a resolution in
which he sought power Of the senate
to direct President Taft to consider
the atrocities which were then being
perpetrated in Mexico, and to stop
the offenses that were then being
committed, and intimating that the
result might lead to the right of en-
trance into Mexico to establish order
by force.
This resolution was bitterly opposed
by Senator Root, as will be seen by
referring to page 452, Vol. AZ, part l.,
of the Congressional Record, of April
20, 1911, which quotes the senator as
saying:
