THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1914. 9 HOPE FOR MEXICO IN REPUBLICAN RULE Administration Change Here Is Only Cure, Declares Henry Lane Wilson. DEMOCRATS' ACT BLAMED Ex-Ambassador to Republic Here on Visit Says Recognition of Huerta Would Have'Blocked Mob's. Reign in South. "There is no hope for Mexico now until a Republican Administration comes into power in this country com mitted to the support and recognition of a government in Mexico strong enough to establish law and order!" Such is the opinion of Henry Lane "Wilson, for four years United States Ambassador to Mexico, who spent yes terday in Portland. The future gov ernment In Mexico must be along the plan of that of Porflrio Diaz, Mr. Lane says, for the reason that 80 per cent of the population of the country to the south can neither read nor write and have no conception of constitu tional government. That American intervention in the present Administration is almost in evitable Is feared by Mr. Wilson, owing to the policy of the Democratic Gov ernment. He dreads this, believing it would mean that the United States would have to remain in Mexico and face no end of trouble and expense. Mobs Said to Control. Mexico today is under the control of three armed mobs, said Mr. Wilson. "By this I mean that there is wide spread chaos In Mexico," said Mr. Wil eon. "The intellect, wealth and in dustry of Mexico are at, the mercy of 65,000 bandits. Part of these are un der the leadership of Carranza, who made himself head of the government without the approval of the vast body of the people, and who will not bo able to maintain himself in power. "Another element Is headed by Villa, whose barbarous methods and mon strous crimes have given him a pe culiar celebrity in the unfortunate sit uatlon that exists. Villa has murdered more than 125 persons with his own hands and is responsible for the slaughter of thousands of innocent per sons. He is bitterly anti-American, though for the purpose of obtaining arms and ammunition he makes a pre tense of being pro-American. For plundering American estates when he was a subordinate general in Madero's army I had Villa arrested and court martlaled. He escaped a year later from the penitentiary at the time- of Madero's overthrow. I tell you that any government established by him will result In a reign bf terror and cannot be permanent. Zapata Also Termed Bandit. "Zapata, the leader of the third ele ment. Is an Indian bandit unable to read or write and Is responsible for the absolute destruction of Industries and properties of two states. His fol lowers are simple freebooters. It may be said with certainty that he is op posed to any regularly constituted gov ernment in Mexico City. "These three elements' now are in control as a result of the mistaken in termeddling and adventurous policy of this Government. By the recognition of the government of President Huerta, who, whatever the defects of his char acter may have been and whatever view may have been taken of his part in the overthrow of Madero, stood for 'established governmental methods, law, order, protection of property and thu industrious laboring classes of the country, peace would prevail through out Mexico today. Wilson's Act Condemned, "The Wilson Administration, by rec ognition of Huerta, would have saved the sacrifice of over 100,000 Mexican lives, the impoverishment of all Amer icans residing in Mexico and the crea tion of claims amounting to more then $200,000,000 for which this Government must ultimately become responsible. Also there would have been no direct expenditure by our Government for extraordinary military and naval opera tions of an amount equal to one-third that proposed to be raised by the re cent revenue bill. Mr. Wilson went on to say that th hope of Mexico lies in a Republican Administration in the United States which would support a strong central government In Mexico. He asserted that it was his belief that such a gov ernment could be established by the better elements in Mexico, without In tervention. if the people rere certain of the '-moral and financial support of the United States. Democratic Plan Attacked. It is foolish to speak of a constitu tlonal government in Mexico, contends Mr. Wilson. "The majority of the people in Mex ico are Indians, who have no more con ception of the meaning of the word democracy than would Zulus or Hot tentots," he said. "Their conception of liberty Is license. They live to loot, and loot to live. Any government set " up upon plans supposed to have been recommended by the Wilson Adminis tration would have as much chance of enduring in Mexico as the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor If built upon quicksands. "The American people have been taught the Mexican question by events, In the beginning a great many honest people believed President Wilson s pol icy, as far as they could understand It, was Justified by the situation and that eventually it would prevail. The re verse has been true, and in the recen campaign the Mexican question un doubtedly cost Democracy thousands if votes. this rock cut an average depth of 12 feet which reduces toward the Milwau kie Cemetery, where a cut of five feet is made to lower the grade. The fill is for about 300 yards, the material com ing from the rock cut and the earth cut in front of Milwaukie Cemetery.. A roadway of crushed and screened rock is being placed on the fill and a steam roller is working it into a com pact mass. Just north of the Johnson Creek bridge a concrete retaining wall on the creek has been built for a dis tance of 200 feet to hold the roadway fill and prevent the water from wash ing out the earth. When finished the roadway will have a hard surface to the Multnomah Coun ty line. This mile of road always has been one of the worst in Clackamas County, but is important, as it is used by practically all of Clackamas Coun ty in reaching- Portland. It is also a part of the East Side Pacific Highway between Portland and Oregon City. It was expected that the Improvement would cost about $10,000 at the start, but the rock work proved more ex tensive than was figured on, and the cost may run up to $16,000 before the improvement is finished. The county has improved the road south from Milwaukie to Oregon City at heavy cost last year, so that the East Side road to Oregon City will be a well Improved highway when finished. The Clackamas Improvement ends at East Seventeenth street In Sellwood, which is unimproved and in a bad con dition.

Commlasfoser Contends He Should Re ceive $263.25 trader Provision of Act Governing Election. On the strength of a provision In the recall amendment to the state constitu tion providing for payment by the mu- icipality of the campaign expenses oi candidates sought to be recalled. City Commissioner Dleck has presented the City Council with a bill for $263.25, be ing the amount he expended in defend ing himself against the attacks of the recallers. In the recent opinion of the State Supreme Court, in which the recall mendment was held to be operative, the statement is made that the pro vision for payment of campaign ex penses needs further legislation. Com missioner Dleck contends that the fur ther legislation mentioned may be enacted by the City Council as well as the State Legislature. He says he be lieves he is entitled to a refund of the expense he was put to to defend him self against untruthful statements re garding his action in conducting toe affairs of the public works department. City Auditor Barbur gave notice to all candidates yesterday that they must file statements of their expenditures in compliance with a provision of the elec tion laws. None of the candidates in the recall election has filed such a statement as yet. The law requires the filing of the statements within 15 days after the election. The election was held October 27. This makes tomorrow the last day for the filing of the state ments. NEW ROAD NEARLY DONE CLACKAMAS EPEXDS f 12,000 OJf MILWAUKIE OUTLET. Cuts and Pills Bring: Grade to Average f a Per Cent for Hard Surface Strip of One Mile. Clackamas County Is spending more than $12,000 in rebuilding the Milwau kie road between Milwaukie and th Multnomah County line at Sellwood when completed 'It will be a hard-sur face road, the grade being not more than 2 per cent. Archie Mason, Portland contractor, has the work well advanced, although It will be some tim before the Job will be finished and th road opened to the public. An entirely new road Is being built, starting irom tne steel bridge over Johnson Creek and extending a dls tance of one mile to Sellwood. Th heavy work consists of a deep cut through a rocky bluff Just north of Johnson Creek, where the rock was blasted for about 200 feet for the roadway. Then there is a fill north of METHODIST PASTORS MEET Plans to enforce Prohibition Law Discussed by E. A. Baiter. The Methodist Ministers' Association of Portland met yesterday morning In the First Church. Rev. M. T. Wire read a paper on "Christianity and the European War. E. A. Baker, representing the Antl- Saloon League, spoke on the plans for the enforcement of the prohibition law and the expediency of having a state wide campaign or revivals. He also emphasized the necessity of obtaining proper legislation regarding prohibi tion. A legislative committee was ap pointed, Including Rev. C. O. McCulloch, Rev. Hiram Gould and Rev. C. C. Rarick. The association will draft resolutions of sympathy as a memorial to the late Bishop Charles W. Smith, former bishop of the Methodist Church in Oregon, whose death took place In Washing ton, D. C, October 31. ATHLETIC TALK SCHEDULED Dr. George J. Fisher to Speak Y. M. C. A. Tonight. at visit San Francisco and San Diego at the time of the opening of the big ex positions in those cities. This is de signed to be the most -pretentious ad vertisement of the Rose Festival and the biggest lure for tourists to route their way through Oregon in 1915 that has ever been ' devised. The excursion was decided -on yesterday at an en thusiastic meeting of the Royal Ro sarians in the Commercial Club. Not only Roya 1 Rosarians will be permitted to go on the special to Call forma, but arrangements will be made, as before, to allow a number of non members to accompany the excursion party. Committee to Arrange. Hy Eilers is chairman of the commit tee on the excursion. A committee of 2T will be appointed at once by Prince Regent1 W. J. Hofmann to work out In detail the plans for the excursion. A rallying call will be sent to Ro sarian members of Seattle. Spokane, Tacoma, Pendleton and Eugene, Salem and other cities of the Northwest re questing them to Join the party if pos sible on its southern trip, in its "all white" Royal Roearlan special train. Hundreds of columns were written about the- Royal Rosarians In' the newspapers of California and the United States in their trip two years ago, and motion-pictirfc films carried the name of the Rosarians and the Portland Rose Festival throughout the world. Because of the excursion at that time thousands of visitors were at tracted to the Rose Festival the fol lowing Summer and innumerable tour ists were led to route their way through Portland for the Festival. The striking results of the former trip had much to do with the decision to make a second and greater trip. Party to Leave Sfit Month. The Rosarians will leave Portland so as to arrive in San Francisco Decem ber 31, and at that time they will take charge of the dedication of the Oregon building at the Panama-Pacific Exposi tion. A day will be spent in Oakland also. D. O. Lively. George L. Hutchin. C. C. Craig and several other Rosarians now In San Francisco will be attached to the party at that place and taken on to Southern California with it. ' On New Tear's day the Royal Ro sarians will participate in the celebra tion of the Tournament of Roses in ' Pasadena, and thence they will go to San Diego, where they will visit the Panama-California Exposition the sec ond day after its opening. Besides the drill team, the Rosarians ill have with them on this trip the band of 24 pieces, under the manage ment of E. E. McLaren and the direc tion of W. H. Boyer. Palatial Train In View. The finest special train that has ever gone out of the Northwest will bj ar ranged for the trip. The cost of the -excursion will be $62.50 for the round trip the rate that will be in effect for ordinary accommodations on the regular trains to and from the exposi tion cities in 1915. Throughout the trip Oregon and the Northwest, the Portland Rose Festival and the urgent suggestion to tourists to route themselves by way of the Northwest on their return trip will be given prominence by the Rosarians. It is believed that the excursion will win attendance to the Rose Festival and swing public attention toward the beautiful Northwest better than any plan that has exfr before been carried out to advertise the Rose Festival and the Northwest. Dr. George J. Fisher, president of the Physical Directors' Society, now in session In Seattle, will speak to Port land T. M. C. A. members tonight. A supper will be served at 6:15 o'clock and the address will follow. The general theme of the meeting will be A New Conception of Ath letics." A volley ball tournament has been scheduled.
