it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de

The long top coats and one-piece
dresses which are worn under them,
strike one as being of most import

are also well represented. The coats
look so warm with their large high
collars that button snugly to the
neck. Many of them are made of
fur or fur cloth, which may be had
in such good imitations that only a
very experienced eye could tell the
difference. The materials for coats

It is trimmed with dull gold embroid

Among the very newest materials
are Bolivia cloth, a rich warm fabric
with a sheen; and burella, a soft open
weave somewhat like homespun but
but very much more attractive and
finer in quality. In addition to these.
there are the more well known wool

as well as many other fancy coatings.
A pleasing note in the development of
the new coats for fall is the use of
bright-colored linings. A very hand

showed when the fronts were rolled

with cerise.
. Like the coat in the illustration,
a great many models show the
straight closing down the front with
gracefully curved lines at the sides,
the back and sides are belted. Some
models, however, are, on the contra

no belt at all to confine the fullness

as the coat lengthens. Fur collars
are particularly good style this fall.
Hudson seal, beaver, kolisky, fitch,

used. Very often the cuffs are of
matching fur, too, but in many inst

Quilting a New Idea
A vevv novel idea that has been
brought from Paris is the quilted
effect on suits; and even waists have
heon made in this stvle. The quilt
ing is done by machine-stitching in
pretty designs rather than in straight
lines, and the effect is so different
from anvthinir else that it has been
very much admired. Satin and silk
suits are made with dep bands of
multinc at the edees of both skirts
and coats. Another way of using
the quilting idea is in touches on col
lar, pockets anil cuffs. Some quilted
waists are intended for sports.

In the minds of republican poli
ticians and editors there is consider
able confusion with respect to mod
ern American-Mexican history. Some
of them seem to think that the Mex
ican problem is the creation of the
democratic administration, that it is
a "Wilson problem." The truth is it
is America's problem, and it was as
much a Taf t problem as it has been a
Wilson problem, and in the event of
Mr. Hughes' election it would be a
Hughes problem. It is very likely
that as Mr. Wilson handled the prob
lem much as Mr. Taft did, Mr,
Hughes' method of handling it would
not differ materially from that of Mr,
Wilson.
Let us take a glance at the record,
Mr. Taft became president on March
4, 1909. Within twenty months 'after
Mr. Taft's inauguration, trouble in
serious form broke out in Mexico, and
during the balance of his administra
tion this trouble continued.
On November 8, 1910, there was
rioting in Mexico City. The Ameri
can flag was destroyed, the windows
of American residences and business
houses were broken. A street car
containing American school children
was stoned and the son of the United
States ambassador was assaulted.
These disturbances continued during
November 9th.
On November 10th there was riot
ing in Guadalajra. The American
flag was burned and windows of
American banks and stores were brok
en. These disturbances continued
two or three days.
On November 10, 1910, there was
rioting at various points in Mexico,
American consulates were wrecked
and the records of the consulates were
destroyed.
On November 18, 1910, the Madero
revolution broke out and from that
date there was general disorder in
Mexico.
On March 7, 1911, twenty thousand
United States regulars were mobi
lized along the Mexican border.
On April 13, 1911, Mexican forces
took Agua Prieta, opposite Douglas,
Arizona. In Douglas, Arizona, three
Americans were killed and five were
wounded.
On April 4, 1911, Mexican forces
again attacked Agua Prieta. Half
the town of Douglas, Arizona, was
under the fire of Mexican guns. On
that occasion seven Americans were
wounded. Governor Sloan of Arizo
na called upon President Taft for the
protection of Americans. The presi
dent replied declining to take mili
tary action.
On October 10 and 11, 1911, Mexi
can rebels attacked and captured
Juarez. One thousand American
troops patrolled the American border
and in El Paso, Texas, five Americans
were killed and seventeen wounded.
On May 12, 1911, Secretary of
State Knox sent to Mexico City a note
denying that the United States in
ended to intervene.
On March 29, 1912, rifles were sent
to the American legation in Mexico
City for the protection of American
citizens. American colonists in north
ern Mexico flocked across the border,
and there was great damage to Amer
ican property by Mexican mobs.
On April 14, 1912, the state depart
ment warned Madero and Orozco
against further outrages to Ameri
can lives and property.
That all occured prior to the pres
idential election of 1912.
On December 4, 1912, President
Taft, in a message to congress, de
scribed his Mexican policy, which was
practically the same as Mr. Wilson's
has been, and he called it the policy
of "patient non-intervention."
On February fl, 1913, there was an
uprising against the Mexican govern
ment in Mexico City. Many days of
street fighting followed. Several
hundred Mexican civilians were killed,
including two American women.
It was in February, during Presi
dent Taft's administration, that Ma
dero was killed and Huerta demanded
recognition; but there was no recog
nition of Huerta and no intervention
under the Taft administration.
On March 15, 1911, a few days
more than two years after Taft was
inaugurated and about two years be
fore his term expired, President Taft
addressed a letter to the chief of
staff and declined to do the very thing
republicans are now denouncing Pres
ident Wilson for not doing.
Following is an extract from Pres
ident Taft's letter:
"The assumption by the press that
I contemplate intervention on Mexi
can soil to protect American lives or
property is, of course, gratuitous, be
cause I seriously doubt whether I
have such authority Indeed, as
you know, I have already declined,
without Mexican consent, to order a
troop of cavalry to protect the break
water we are constructing just across
the border of Mexico at the mouth of
the Colorado river to save the Im
perial valley, although the insurrec
tos have scattered the Mexican troops
and were taking our horses and sup
plies and were frightening our work
men away."
On April 17, 1911, the governor of
Arizona sent a telegram to the presi
dent, reading in part as follows:
"As a result of today's fighting
across the international line, but with
in gunshot range of the heart of
Douglasf five Americans were wound
ed on this side of the line In my
judgment radical measures are need
ed to protect our innocent people ,
It will be impossible to safeguard the
people of Douglas unless the town be
vacated."
To this telegram President Taft
replied as follows:
"The situation might justify me in
ordering our troops across the border
but if I take this step, I must
face the possibility of greater resist
ance and greater bloodshed, and also
the danger of having our motives
misconstrued and misrepresented, and
of thus inflaming Mexican popular in
dignation It is impossible to
foresee or reckon the consequences of
such a course; and we must use the
greatest self-restraint to avoid it. I
cannot therefore order the troops at
Douglas to cross the border, but I
must ask you and the local authori
ties in case the same danger occurs,
to direct the people of Douglas to
place themselves where bullets can
not reach them, and thus avoid casu
alty." The only difference between the
Wilson policy and the Taft policy was
that Mr. Wilson called it "watchful
waiting," while Mr. Taft called it
"patient non-intervention," (See
Message 1912.)
On November 26, 1910, the Out
look, which became famous by reason
of the fact that Theodore Roosevelt
was its contributing editor, had an
editorial calling attention to "the
anti-American demonstrations which
have lately taken place in Mexico," in
which "great student demonstrations
were made, mobs broke windows in
buildings occupied by Americans, at
tacked newspaper offices favorable to
Americans and attacked street cars
containing Americans."
On March 25, 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 29, 1911, that Sen
ator Stone, a democrat, insisted that
President Taft be authorized to em
ploy whatever force might be neces
sary to restore order in Mexico. Sen
ator Root, now one of President Wil
son's most bitter critics, 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, repub
lican, and another bitter critic of the
Wilson administration, said that
President Taft would not ask for force
until our diplomatic methods had
failed.
It was on April 29, 1911, during the
Taft administration, that the New
York American (Hearst's) said,
"Through a laggard and chicken-
hearted president, American threats
of intervention have become the
laughing stock of the regulars and in
surgents alike."
It was in February, 1913, during
the Taft administration, that the New
York American (Hearst's) referring
to the Mexican situation said, "One
hundred or more of American citizens
have been slain," and it asked, "Does
anyone think that Germany would
have endured this outrage for a day ?
Does any man believe that English
warships would not already be bom
barding Vera Cruz for a similar out
rage upon English citizens?"
The Mexican situation under the
Taft administration was so serious
that in its issue of September 21,
1912, the Baton Rouge, La., Times
said: "The American flag is only a
rag in Mexico. El Paso, Texas, and
other border papers expressed similar
sentiments.
All of which goes to show that the
Mexican problem is an American
problem rather than a democratic
problem and that it was as much a
problem under Taft as it is under
Wilson, and would be as much a prob
lem under Hughes as under Wilson
or Taft.

THE REUNION
From the Peoria, 111., Journal
(Taft and Roosevelt shook hands
Oct. 3.) ,
TEDDY.
I know you. Bill, you can't fool me;
I've got your rotten pedigree.
You are a horse-thief and a crook,
I'm glad I handed you the hpok. i
If I were president again, j
I'd see you safely in the pen. i
I
BILL. !
I've got YOUR number, Theodore,
As I have stated heretofore,
You are a bluffer and a fake;
You only rave and belly-ache.
If I were president again,
I'd throw you in the lion s den.
BOTH TOGETHER.
For manner's sake I shake your hand,
But just for manners, understand.
Perhaps if we can fool the mob,
We BOTH may land an easy job.
Schmidt Asks $5000
Frank Schmidt, who was indicted
by the grand jury last week on a
charge of larceny, on Saturday start
ed action against Herbert Robbins to
recover $5000 damages for slander.
Robbins is the man who caused the
arrest of Schmidt because of the al
leged theft of 30 chickens. Schmidt,
in the action filed Saturday, alleges
that Robbins told neighbors that
"Schmidt stole 30 of my chickens."
Upon this the suit is based and
Schmidt will be represented by five lo
cal lawyers.
Team Fails to Appear
The first football game of the sea
son advertised for the Oregon City
Athletic club failed to materialize.
The club management scheduled a
game with the South Portland team,
but the latter called the game off.
Then a game was arranged with the
Overlook team of Portland, which
failed to appear at Canemah field. As
a last resort the team divided and
with other recruits played an exhibi
tion game. The score for the scrub
game was 16 to 3 in favor of the
team representing the club.
