story.
In the second decade Of the nine
teenth century. when Ferdinand VII
of Spain destroyed the constitution
al regime and restored the absolute
monarchy. there was, SO people say,
a very wretched actor playing In q
comedy theater in Madrid. He was
not merely a bad actor; his inepti-
tude surpassed anything that the
public of the Spanish capital had
ever seen. When things were get
ting past the limit of endurance, q
plot was Matched to drive him on
the stage ere evening with fusil-
ade of p rnls- But the actor who'
in his \ psns no fool. managed to
get wind ok~what was in store for
him, and made arrangements to
avoid it.
Hiding Behind Slogans.
sLong live tho absolute monarchy"
he shouted, stepping forward on the
stage. .Down with the Liberals!"
And the audience in the theater fell
into abashed silence. Who dared At
tack Q man with such words on his
lipsr Any hostile demonstration
would have been interpreted as an
act. of treason to the king.
A device somewhat similar has
been tried with me by q number of
people who find II to their personal
interest to support tho present gov
ernment in Mexico. And 1t will, in
the future, be tried by many, very
many. others, by everybody in fact
who thinks 1t will help him along in
his business to win the gratitude OF
the ruling clique in that country by
rushing to its defense here.

Madrid. He is throwing mud at
people who speak his own language
