Mexico Murder Map
Theodore Roosevelt, in a powerful speech delivered at Phoe
nix, Ariz., October 21. 1916. indicted the Wflson administration
ftt iu vacillation and timidity in dealing with Mexico. He charged
that Americana had been the victims of "murder. t8
plunder"; that the government at Washington- afforded them no
protection whatever, and that "neither the promises and menaces of
President Wilson nor the pledges in Democratic platforms were
worth the paper on which they were written or the breath expended
in uttering ihem." . . ,
The conditions depicted then are ihe conditions, intensified,
existing today. ,.,
Over three years ago on June 20. 1 9 1 6 Present Wilson
through his Secretary of State, admitted that there had been cor
tinuous bloodshed and disorder in Mexico and that Americans had
been barbarously murdered and vast properties developed by Amen
can capital and enterprise destroyed.
Six year ago August 27. 1913 President Wilson specifi
cally promised to protect Americans and "vigilantly vatch the for
tunes of those Americana who cannot get away, and 00 the same
date instructed the American Consul General and consular agent
in Mexico "to notify all officials, military or civil exercise author
ity, that thry would be held strictly responsible for any harm done
to Americans or for injury to their property." , ,
"These were fine words," said Theodore Roosevelt. Excel-
But'ley meant nothing absolutely nothing- Words, words,
Since they were uttered the situation has gone from bad to
W0"A map has just been prepared and submitted to the State
Department end to the Senate Committee 00 Foreign Relatkms which
shows that 551 American lives have been sacrificed to Mexican
lawlessness during the Cananza regime. Of this number 1 23 mem
bers of the military forces of the United States American soldiers
and sailors were killed!
This graphic presentation called the Murder Map of Mex
ico" has created the most profound impression at Washington and
throughout the country. It emphasizes strikingly Theodore Roose
velt's indictment of the administration in 1916 for Its weakness and
vacillation in dealing with problems across the border.

Are Your Teeth
in Bad Shape?
If you have a had tooth, perhaps
what you need is a W"ld crown to
cover H. II some teem
ore missing, lliey Can
be replaced by what
is called bridgework,
which means thai new
tcoth are fastened in
bv attaching them to
other natural teeth in your mouth.
Or maybe you need artificial
plates, which can be made so
natural looking that it is not easy
to tell tham from real teeth.
The best place to hnve this kind
of dental work done is at an office
where) Registered Dentists use the
E. R. Parker Svtm, because these
dentists make special arrange
ments with out-of-town patients,
so that fswar visits are required
and you don't have to call so often.
Prices ara always reasonable,
and no charga is made for exam
inations and advioa. There are
twenty-four E. R. Parker System
offices in different cities, the near
est being at
