"an insidious attempt to ally our gov

"The call to a campaign for national efficiency comes with an equally bad grace from those representing a party whose polie-y has swept the American Hag from the ports of the world, shut the United States up in a deadly provincialism: deadened the inventive genius of th: people, and closed to them the doors of that opportunity which, in the days of democratic ascendency, l.efore the dominance of the republican party, had ever remained open to all. To that democratic party which has never departed from the faith of the fathers, which has believed in government by the whole people, not by the privileged few. all who care for real self-government must render their allegiance. "For the re-election of that man who has re-established in four years that freedom the nation nearly lest under its republican obsession, they must work; for that party whose four years of wisely constructive legislation seem almost miraculous in contrast with republican inefficiency and inaction they must win an opportunity for vet greater work. I believe it to be the duty of every tru; American to defeat that partv which reviles and despises that America and that Americanism which refuses to bear the republican brand; which demands protection for privilege anil denies it to the mass of people; whose success would mean the defeat of all the ideals, all the hpes, all the aspirations of our beloved country, and which we of the democracy are united and resolved to sustain."

Tin: limit or i:it'konti:i:y. (Memphis Commercial Appeal.) Kngland seems determined to
force the hand f the United States. This country has been repeatedly imposed upon. Pres't Wilson's indes of protest have been courteously received and as courteously ignored. The most flagrant , violation of neutrality has been reported to the

All of this occurred in less than a mile from Carabao i ! island, which is American territory, j It seems almost impossible to un- j derstand how the Hritish govern-: merit will seek to defend or in any ; way justify this holding up of an American ship in American waters. ; Under the international neutrality ' laws Kngland would not have had the right to hold up a German ship, ' as long as she rested in American j waters. ; If a vessel of the enemy Is im-; inuiio from such procedure, how can j Great Rritain possibly explain this ; act of .depredation. America is aj netral nation. American waters are ,
neutral waters. American ships are neutral ships. This is decidedly a high handed piece cd' business which should be handled in a drastic a ay by Sec'y Lansing. The Hritish lieutenant made thisentry on the steamer lag: "Hoarded at :):?.0 a. m.. 8-11-1 H, examined and passed." This officer, if the report of Gov.Gen. Harrison is correct. had no right whatever on the deck of the steamer. She was in waters over which this government has sole right and exclusive jurisdiction.
There have, from time to time. ;
been reported similar cases of interference by P.ritish vessels with legitimate Philippine trade. Hut as far as known there has been no other act as flagrant as this last incident complained of.
This war, as all the world sorrow-i fully realizes, is altogether extraor-j dinary. but. even so. it cannot be j held to ahrogate ne-utral rights i either on the high seas or within ' neutral territory. Possioly there was I a mistake in this case, or. perhaps an over-zealous commander, went' beyond his instructions'. This would ! be easier to believe had not the same offense been committed so j many times before. . Kngland must call a halt and end j such violations of neutrality. !

The truth is it ; Am n- a s probU-ni. and i: was a- much a Taft problem as it has '.e,, a Wi'.-n-i problem, and in the event of Mr. Hughes- !.-.ion it woald a Hughes problem. It is very likely that as Mr. Wi's.vi ha ndb'd the problem much as Mr. Taft dil. Mr. Hughes method of handling it would iot differ materially from that of Mr. Yil-"n.

I hat all occurred prior to the presidential election of l ;12. On December 4, 1 f 1 1 President Taft. tr. a messa.ee to congress described his Mexican polity, which was practically the same as Mr. Wilson's has been, and he called it the policy of "patient non-intervention."

It was in February-, during President Taft's administration, that Madero was killed and Huerta demanded recognition; hut there was no recognition of Huerta ami no intervention under the Talt administration. On March 15. 1911. a few days more than two vears after President Talt was inaugurated and about two years before his term expired. President Taft addressed a Utter to the chief of staff, and Jn that letter he declined to do the very things republicans are now denouncing President Wilson for not doing. 1'ltO.M T.UT'S LIJTTIIIl. Following is an extract trom President Taft's letter: "The assumption by the press that I contemplate intervention on Mexican soil to protect American lives or property, is of course gratuitous, because I seriously doubt whether 1 have such authority Indeed, a.s you kno. I have already declined, without Mexican consent, to order a troop of cavalry to protect the breakwater we are constructing just across the border in Mexico at the mouth of th Colorado river to save the Imperial valley, although the insurre-ctos have scattered the Mexican troops and were taking our hr.s s and supplies and frightening our workmen away." On April 17, 1911, the governor of Arizona sent a telegram to the president, reading in part as follows: "As a result of today's lighting across the international line, but within gunshot range of the heart of Douglas, five Americans were wounded on this'side of the line in my julgmcnt radical mea-sure are needed to protect our innocent people It will be impossible to safeguard the people of Douglass unless the town be vafri." To this telegram President Taft replied a.s follows; 'The situation might justify me in ordering- our troojs across the border. . . . but if I take this step, I must fa e the possibility of greater resistance and greater blood.-h'-d. and also the danger of having our motives misconstrued and misrepresented, and of thus .inflaming Mexican popular indignation It is impossible to foresee or r- kon tho consequences of such a course; and we must use the greatest self-restraint to avoid it. I cannot therefore order the troops at Iouglas to cross the border, hut I mu.-t a.-k you .md the local authorities in case the same dange" occurs, to dirct the people of Douglas to place themselves where bulb t s i a I, -nat reav h them, and thus avoid casualty." The only difference between the Wilson policy and the Taft policy was that Mr. Wilson called it "watchful waiting." whil. Mr. Taft called it "patient non-intervention." Sec message 1912.) Tili: OUTLOOK SP11KS. n November 191h the outlook, which became farr-on by reason of the fact that Theodore Itoo.-evelt was its contributing editor, had an editorial calling attention to "the antiAmerican demonstrations which have lately taken pi....- jn Mexico." in which "great student demonstratiops were made. mobs broke windows in buildings o-cupied by Americans, .it -tacked newspaper ofhees favorable to Americans and attacked street cars containing Americans." "on March Un. 1911. the Outlook said that 'events in Mexico are very- confusing." and on April 22, it declared that Mexico presented "a serious state of affairs." It was on April J9. 1911. that Senacor Stone, a rfrrnornt, insisted that President Taft be authorized to employ whatever force might be necessary to restore order In Mexico. Senator limit, now one of president Wilson's m"st hitter ntjs. said that a threat of force would be "to reverse the policy of the United States and take a step backward in the path of civilization." Senator Lodge, republican, and another hitter cntnof the Wilson administration, said that President Taft womlj not ask for force until our diplomatic method.; had failed. It was on April 9. 1911. during the Taft administration, that the New York American Hearst's) said "through a buggard and chicken-hearted president. American threats of intervention have become the laughing stock of the in.vjrgenLs and re-ulars alike." AN AMKKH'AX PUOHLIIM. It was in February. 19 1';. during the Taft ad minist ration th.vt the New York American (Hearst's) referring to the Mexican situation, -aid "One hundred or more of American citiz-r.s have been .-bun" and it a.-k'-d "Does anyone think that errnanv would have endured this outrage for a day' Does an;, man believe that English warships would not already bombarding Vera Cruz for a similar outrage upon Fnghsn ltizer.s?" The Mexican situation under the T.i'd administration w-ts so serious that in its issue of September Jl. 191-'. the Baton Rouge. Lt.. Times .-aid: "The American Hag, only a rag in Mexico " 111 'p.uso. Texas, and "ther border paP'-rs expressed similar sent i men ts. All of which goes to show that the Mexican problem is an Amen -an problem rather than a democratic problem and that :t was as much a problem under Taft a-s it is under Wtl-on. ari l would be as mueh. a problem under Hughes as urid.-r Wilson or laft.
