MUST KEEP GET OF MEXICO.

Ex-President Taft Says Intervention Would Mean Catastrophe. Washington. February 28.—William Howard Taft, in an address before the National Geographic Society, last night, spoke a word of warning against intervention in Mexico. The former president said: ’ The situation is in such a condition that! it will be improper for me to com-' ment on it, except to say this: That those who lightly look forward to intervention are either utterly regardless of the loss of life and the expenditure of immense treasure, or else they don't know what armed intervention on the part of this, government in Mexico will mean. “Those of us who have had experience in the tranquilizing of a tropical country, with a people not very different from the Mexicans, who take naturally to guerrilla warfare, and who would rather fight than work, that is, would rather fight and run than work, know the difficulties that an army would have to meet to accomplish the only purpose that we would have in going in, to-wtt the bringing about of law and order. “It would involve the garrisoning with a sufficient force of every town. It would involve the organization of columns to chase the guerrillas intoj their mountain fastnesses and across trackless desert, plains and the subjugation of fifteen miilion of people. No effort ought to be omitted to prevent a catastrophe like this.” File your mortgage exemptions between March 1 and May 1, with the county auditor. In order to take advantage of this exemption, remember, you must re-file each year.
