COLONEL KOOSEV KLT in his .-uppfihi-ad speech at

nnii'tlcr of Anierii'iins in Mexico its iUTcssorv to the crime.
I'lii' stunt? charges in an tnilictiiient would lead to trial for
murder.
As Everett Colhy, the progressive leader who twice
nominated Kooseveit, says of these intemperate charges:
"I am trulv Korrv to sen Mr. Kooaovclt kIvo way to bis passions and in
diilM In such iinruKtrained, exclled and hitler tirades aKlnat the president.
What he says Is not true. It is net Just. It in Inexcusable It is resonted
troin one end of the country lo the other.
"Colonel Hnosevclt. In his word to the urOHrnsslves, b.-ivk lie wishes thorn
to do Iheir port In removlns the "moral stain" which Mr. Wilson's ad
ministration bus -f listened upon the country. I deeply regret to sno and to
fuel obliged to sav that Colonel Hoosevelt has Joined tin) historic lihelers of
our presidents, lie takes his position by tho side of thoso who described
CeorKe Washington ns "a man whose name was a synonym tor political In
Iqultv, and who bad legalized conniption"; with thoso later partisan assail
ants of ureal presidents, who dufceiibcd Jefferson as a maniac and Lincoln as
personally dishonest.
"There outbl lo be some limit to parly rancor and personal hale; and I
deeply deplore Ihe fact that a man who has rendered surh services to the
nation as Colonel ltoosev?ll sho'iid descend lo such vulnar attaekB upon a
man, who Is not only loved by his countrymen, but admired by tho world as
few uieu In our history have been loved and admired."
Mexican outrages against Americans have been fre-
iiient fur t hirty years yet it was never deemed necessary
to plunge the nation into a war or conquest on uecouin oi
them.
Under lfooseveli's own administration the "humiliat
ing" incident occurred frequently of American citizens
taking out cert il'icates of registration from the British con
sulate at the C'itv of Mexico to secure protection to their
property. !
In 1911 rresident Taft wrote the governor of Arizona,
who had telegraphed him that unless the American govern
ment acted, the people of Douglas, Arrz would have to
vacate the town:
"1 cannot order the troopa to cross the border, but must ask you and the
local aulhorilies In case the ilauKCi occurs uBalu, lo direct the people ol
1)oukUi:i lo place themselves whero bullets cannot roach them."
l7p to 191.1, when partisanship began to assert itself,
nil the leading republicans backed up the president's Mex
ican policy, which was simply a continuation of President
Tail's policy. Senator Knot declared that even a threat of
force would be "to reverse the policy of the United States
and take a step backward in ihe path of civilization." And
Senator Lodge and e-I'rcsideut Taft openly supported the
president.
The Mexican problem has been .a national, not a party
problem, ever since the passing of Diaz. Able and honest
men of both parties have agreed and disagreed over it
have agreed and disagreed with their own party heads over
it. It. should be dealt with by the people as it has been
dealt with by our president thoughtfully, conscientiously.
jusl ly.
IJut no one expects honor or decency irom iwtoseveit
the Villa of American politics, who is as disloyal to his
government as Villa is to his, and whose trip to the border
is that of the copperhead, to stir up discontent, disten
tion and disloyalty among the people at a time of national
crisis, and foment treason among the troops of the United
States against their commander-in-chief.
What else could one expect from a man so shameless as
(o fake heroism at the battle of San ,Juan, in which' he
never participated; to boast of shooting a Spaniard in the
back at Keltic Hill, where there were no Spaniards; of one
who, to dodge paying taxes, swore that he was no longer
a citizen tif New York and the next month swore he was
to run for governor; of a president who at the dictation of
Wall street set aside the laws he swore to uphold to permit
the steel trust to absorb a. rival: of tin explorer who "dis
covered" a South American river, which-had been cruised
by Spaniards for rubber for over lf0 years; of a states
man who pledged et'ernal faithfulness to the progressive
principles and then basely betrayed his following to the
very men whose corruption he had loudly denounced.
Roosevelt is evidently disgusted with the anaemic, col
orless, flabbv campaign made by Hughes and is "putting
a punch" in it that is sending it tottering to its final col
lapse and will leave linn without a rival lo lead tho 0. O.
1 in 19''0. on the principle enunciated by IJarnuin that the
public likes to be humbugged.

1 I'OKTLAM), Ore., Out. 21.- In the
name of "all progressives by' princi
ple and conviction," (iainbridao Colby
of New Vorlii foremost leader of the
progressive party. Saturday night
nominated Woodrow Wilson for presi
dent of Ihn United States, before an
audience of 1,000 in the armory.
Mr. Colby was Introduced by Wil
liam llanley, progressive candidate
Tor L'nlled States senator from Ore
gon In 1 13, as the man .who twice
had nominated Theodore Roosevelt at
Ihe progressive party national conveu.
(Ions in 1912 and 1910.". This led Mr.
Colhy to offer an apology and to name
for president tho man who Is now
recognized as tho true exponent of
progressive principles.
PitHlict.sl'tinniinous I-Uei-t ion.
"I want to say," continued .Mr.
Colby, "there ncvor has been a nomi
nation that will he followed so soon
by an almost unanimous election.
"I am supporting President Wilson
for re-election because be is the fore
most progressive In the country to
day. I cannot understand how any
progressive principle and convlcilon
can do otherwise. The President's rec-
ford of progressive achievement const!.
lutes a claim on progressive support
which no true Progressive can Ignore
or fall to heed, and I seriously ques
tion whether our party, bad It pre
vailed in the 1912 election, could
have accomplished half as much.
1 PriHli'cssive Legislation.
"Thirty-one separate and distinct
planks of our 1912 plalform have
been translated Into law by the WI1
'son administration and all the major
principles for which, as a parly, we
progressives have stood and fought,
are now effective statutes. 1 have no
time tonight, but it is sufficient
merely to call their impressive roll.
"How can any progressive hcsl
.tate? How can any progressive re
fuse his support to such a president
on such a record without being false
to his profession as a progressive?
"Remember, my frlends( It Is the
part of tho Independent In politics to
approve and support, as well as to
protest and revolt. We revolted In
1912 against conditions that, had be
come Intolerable in our public life.
It is agrcoable in this election to find
Dial wo can, with right good con
science and entire consistency, throw
our strength as progressives to sus
tain an administration that has been
honest, patriotic and efficient.
T. 1!. Not a PiwRwwivc.
"And I say this notwithstanding
tho fact that the great man whom
tho progressives were wont to delight
to honor has taken a different course
and has advised u to combine with
the republicans in this election.
"I had assumed that Colonel Roose
velt In his speeches would have some
thing to say to tho progressives, ex
plaining his refusal longnr to con
tinue the fight for progressive princi
ples. You progressives distinctly re
call his pledges, delivered In 1913,
that I win or lose, whatever tho out
come. I am with .ou, and 1 am
for this cause, to fight to tho end.'
Hut I find that ho now Is not n pro
gressive at all, but Is n repentant re
publican. WINon Has lli-nnght 1rosporlty.
"His wise and progressive legisla
tion has brought about an unpara
lleled prosperity throughout Ihe na
tion, a prosperity falsely attributed lo
the war In r.urope, hut In reality due
to such enlightened progressive meas
ures as the currency act, the federal
trade commission law, the rural
credits law, and tho agricultural edu
cation act. to mention only a few of
the achievements' of the Wilson
administration.

They do this in the OWL fac

work careful work. It takes an in

the proper degree of mellowness.
