preachers out of the churches and
out Of the country. The president is
in favor of letting the 100000 peo-
/ pie in Mexico who have not had an
! opportunity to do so, fight out their
! Independence the way we fought ours
Wherever you hear anybody say they
can't understand the presidents Mex
lean policy tell them to go and read
the Declaration of independence and
the Golden Rule
"The final touch about this Golden
Rule, applied in comparing men who
rape women, murder children and
torture wounded soldiers to the sign
ers Of the Declaration Of Independ-
cnce and the singularly humane sol
diers Of Washington, adds an ele-
ment of nauseaous hypocrisy to as
preposterous and ridiculous Islander
as ever was circulated about the men
Of the revolution.
II have no doubt whatever that in
this astounding statement Mr.. Baker
gives Mr. Wilson'S real views ex.
actly as Mr.. Lansing, in his famous
note of June last incautiously told
the exact truth about the acts Of Car
rama and the Mexican bandits gen
orally Mr. Wilson's attitude toward
Carranza can not possibly be justified
except on the theory that at the bot
tom Of his heart he looks upon all
soldiers as equally bad, and has no
conception that Washington and car
rama stand in opposite planes of the
moral and political scale.
almost Dissertation"
"Of course, from the STANDPOINT Of
patriotism, from the standpoint OF
any American citizen proud of his
country and his army, it is profoundly
unpatriotic, profoundly dishonorable,
indeed IT amounts almost to desecra-
ton to compare Washington's army,
the men Of Valley Forge who sacri-
feed everything for their country,
and showed singular humanity, with
the horde Of bloodthirsty bandits
who, now under one bandit leader,
now under another rayaged Mexico
and whom the president has been
backing and supporting in their muir
ders and outrages for the last three
and half years in Mexico.
The man who proressed such doc
trines is wholly unfit to stay in the
cabinet, and the president who re-
tains him is wholly unfit to remain
the president of the United states.
This statement of MI Bakers, ac-
Quiesccd in by the silence Of Mr..
Wilson, shows that Mr. Wilson, in
his heart, believes that Washington
was no better than villa or Carrauza;
that the men of the revolution stood
on level with the miscreant crew
who during the last three and half
years in Mexico have murdered
Americans by the hundreds and Mex
leans by the tens of thousands. These
men have pcrpetrated every species
OF outrage upon women and children
and nave turned all Mexico into hell
of starvation, disease and misery
they have done this with the active
or passive assistance Of the Ameri-
can government under lead of Mr.
Wilson, and Mr.. Wilson's cabinet Of
ficer now defends them by the foul
est Islander on the man who made u.s.
a nation
