No Effort Ought to Be
Omitted to Prevent Ca
tastrophe Like Inter
vention In Mexico
@ by American Press
By Former President WILLIAM H. TAFT Association.
THOSE of us who have had o\:>erieiu e in ilic tranquilizing of a
tropical country, with a people not wry d liferent from the Mexi
cans, who take naturally to guerri .1 warfare and who would
rather fight than work—that i>, \YOl 1,1) I'ATUF.l! FIGHT AND
BUN THAN WOKK—know the lieu s that siu army would have
to meet to accomplish the only purpo? t w. vould have in going in—
to wit, the bringing about of law and order. It v,on .1 involve the garri
soning with a sufficient force of every town.
It would involve the
GUERRILLAS INTO THKFU MOUNTAIN FASTNESSES AND
ACROSS TRACKLESS DESERT PLAINS and the subjugation of
fifteen millions of people.
w *• n
I DON'T KNOW WHEN WF. WOULD GET THROUGH, I DON'T KNOW
HOW MANY LIVES IT WOULD INVOLVE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
IT WOULD COST, BUT I DO KNOW IT WOULD DE A DRAG ON US,
AND THEN WHEN WE HAD COT THE THING DONE THE FUTURE
WOULD STILL BE DOUBTFUL AND STILL EE A CHARGE AND A BUR
DEN UPON OUR GOVERNMENT AND UPON OUR TREASURY. I DO NOT
SPEAK THUS POSITIVELY WITHOUT SOr.'E KNOWLEDGE OF THE
SUBJECT. NO EFFORT OUGHT TO BE OMITTED TO PREVENT A
CATASTROPHE LIKE THIS.
California Agitation Symp
tomatic of Ominous
World Situation
By the Rev. SIDNEY L. GL'LICK of
Doshishj University, Japan
itation is but one symptom
of an OMINOUS WORLD
SITUATION*. Recent decades have
brought east and west into closest
contact. Races and civilization, for
ages self sufficient, proud, ambi
tious, determined, are now face to
face.
Hie fundamental postulate of
California's anti-Asiatic poliov is
correct. WE CANNOT TOLER
ATE A SWAMPING IMMIGRA
TION, overturning our democratic
institutions or bringing economic
ruin to Caucasion laborers or farm
ess. But in seeking to carry out
her policy California has erred, for
she seeks to settle an international
matter in the light of local inter
ests. Her anti-alien bill was need
less, humiliating to Japan and
shortsighted.

NO SLUMS IN NEW YORK.
Verdict of ?.n Expert After a Search
Through the City.
I bu*e n .iile nit amazing discovery,
it is tike result ol' three diys and
tiUlus <>l v'in^ to and fro in New
York— sot > tun .' ii. :itiil sometimes
\vit!i a w i I tit tmt **ynic-jll detective.
Anil the a Hazing i in I disconcoriug dis
covery is t . Is: There are no slums in
New York.
You cat) Hlid crime ami criminals;
you can liinl vice, poverty. drunken
iii ss. disease, but you cannot Bud a
slum—such slums as blacken and
fester in Antwerp, Genoa, .Naples,
Paris. Loudou and many auother old
world city. The reason is that you
r.in: ■ i a without tilth, and
New York is a cleau city. Neither
crime nor poverty uor crowds make a
slum. You must have tilth ns well,
uuii that is what New Yurk hasn't got.
I looked for It east and west and
north, from river front to river front.
Everywhere, anywhere, were crime,
vice, mean poverty. Everywhere
thieves, rogues, outcasts, men and wo
men isolated from their kind by sin or
mere suffering, but no slums.
Dirt, of course, is relative, but the
tenements—even the old nests of low
houses lined with lire escapes—were
habitable human dwelling places. And
the niyht going detective declared he
could show me nothing worse. I want
ed to see the fetid caves where wretch
edness lay moHuing on garbage heaps,
tlx- windy garrets where it starved,
and there were no fetid caves.
In the old streets and the dingy
courts of l'aris you can still tlnd hun
dreds of them; you have but to walk
pceringiy through the street of the
Three Gates or the street of the Iron
Pot; you have but to go into the
suburbs that lie outside the fortifica
tions—for year by year the centrifugal
force that stirs in every great ag
glomeration of human atoms has
thrown Parisian beggnrdoin Into that
dreary circumference. _
Hut in the washed and lighted un
derworld of .\>w York there are no
slums. There is not one slum that
half deserves the name. Wretched
ness all you please; hunger In the
streets and on the housetops. It may
be, but none of those gangrened holes
of filth without which no real slum
can exist.
I speak almost with the decision of
an expert, for I spent many years
prowllngly Investigating the slums
that rot and blacken the surface of
Europe from Moscow to Lisbon.—
Vance Thompson in New York Sun.
Smallpox.
Smallpox nppearid to have been first
described by Khusses. an Arabian phy
sician living about not) A. t>. It was
introduced Into southern Europe in the
time of the crusade* and slowly spread
into the more northern regions. In
1517 it was carried from Spain to San
to l>c!!iiug" and thence to Mexico,
where it is saUl to have swept off
of the natives. It spread
rapidly all over the new world and
whole villages, and even tribes of In
dians were carried oft by it.
