COL. ROOSEVELT
APPLAUDS SPEECH
MADE BY HUGHES
Particularly with the Exposure
of Folly of the Wilson Mex
lean Policy, He Says.

New York. July 31.-"It was an ad-
mirable speech and wish to call at
tention TO the following points," said
, Colonel Roosevelt. in statement is
sued inter the Hughes notification
meeting Tonight.
II am particularly pleased with tho
exposure of the folly and worse than
folly of NJ Wilson's Mexican policy
and of the way in which this policy
had brought humiliation to the United
states and disaster to Mexico itself.
Moreover, | am very glad of the
STRAIGHTFORWARD manner in which Mir.
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr.. Wilson has covered this ma
ton by the manner in which he allowed
foreign powers to gain the impression
that. although he used the strongest
words in diplomacy. they were not to
be taken seriously.
| Just before coming in to listen to
Mr. Hughes characterization Of Mr.
| Wilson'S failure to protect the lives
and property of Americans in Mexico
and on the high seas, I happened to
look up John Fiske's critical period OF
American history and was struck by
the following two sentences:
| "A government touches the loves,
| point of ignominy when It confesses its
| inability to protect the lives and the
property of its citizens
| "a government which has come to
this has failed in dscharginE the pri-
mary function of government and
! forthwith ceases to have any reason
for existing
MIR. Hughes has pointed out In his
speech. with self-restraint but with
emphasis. that II IL precisely this pri-
mary function which Mr. Wilson's ad-
ministration has failed to discharge and
that il is precisely this point of iE-
nominy to which he has reduced the
| nation ONcr which he is urnsi lnnt -

MIR. MERLE MacALLISTER,
Editor, The Vermont Advance,
Burlington, Vermont.
My Dear Sir:

recall that when met you few weeks since asked
if would write for the Advance brief article giving my
for voting against the Rural Credits bill told
that would give pleasure to DO So and now comply with
your request.
Lest my position be misunderstood let at the out
that have abiding faith that the farmers of Vermont
need that fiber of makeup is loyal to
their interests This being the case deem only necessary
simple story to my part OF the labor performed
in the formulation of the Rural Credits BILL
This bill was introduced the January 3rd and
referred to the Committee Banking and Currency of
w am nsrac spent s nara 1Gu a ah
be of the greatest possible help to the farming interests of the
South and Far West known to everymember of the Commit
tee on Banking and Currency.
It true that in the earlier consideration of Rural
Credits bill in the committee it the unanimous opinion of
that committee that the bill could be of no real value to the
farmers of the East 1t confessed by every member of
the committee that its Investigations conclusive that
point and that there reasonable expectation the
the friends Of the bill that it could be of any practical bene-
fit section of the country east of Ohio Indeed it
not expected that would be of much value in Ohio In
diana and Illinois, The for this obvious the
rates for money on farm mortgages in the East and Middle
West from to cent Passing south Of the Ohio
River and west of the Mississippi however, the rates for
which is not discuss this communication
increase until 10 cent rate is reached in sections
the Pacific Coast
The fact that the East would not be benefited by this
urged against the BILL every member
Committee Banking and Currency aboed with desire
tighten the burden of the farmers in the States where
IRENE rates of interest prevailed
There came time however, in the considerations of the
committee when the question to exemptng the
DondS issued der Rural credits bill from
OF taxation placing them on parity with U. S. Government
bonds.
Whether it would would not be right to say that the
State of Vermont other State must prop
erty within its borders question upon which the
members of the Committee Banking and Currency divided
Under the provisions Of the BILL any moneyed Vermont
invest his funds in this Rural Credits paper and laugh
the assessors when they ask him contribute his share the
support of the schools highways and other expenses con-
Quoting State and municipal affairs.
During all the discussions of this by the Vermont
press not the slightest mention so far as recall
been made this taXcXempton feature of the Rura Credits
bill Every Vemoner understands that when you take the
burden taxation from class of people burden
is Immediately transferred in very large measure back
of the farmer.
