High arid'Low Treason.
Why "high" treason? Because atone
time there were two kinds of treason
high and low. Certain types of mur
ders were considered more horrible and
reprehensible than others. For in
stance, if a man killed bis wife or a
wife her husband, if a master was
uiunlered by his servant or a prelate
by one of his subordinates, the crime
was looked upon as. being particularly
outrageous because of the specially in
timate relations between sTayer and |
slain and was called "petit treason."
But If a man killed or tried to kill the |
head, not of a family, but of the state [
—the "pater patriae"—he was guilty of [
"high treason."—London Spectator.
THE CHEERFUL FACE.
Next to the sunlight of heaven
is the cheerful face. One glance
at this face lifts us out of the
shadows into the beautiful
bright and warm within. A host
of evif passions'may lurk around
the door, but they never enter •
and abide there. The cheerful
face puts them to shame and
flight.
CLAIMS WILSON
M NOT KEPI
OUT MB
Washington £>. C. November 1—
"i)emocratiq speakers throughout
Lb« country have the eMnotntery to
k<?ep 011 claiming tliat the President
hag keot 113 out of war." TMti
pix-poBteroua claim has mot fooled
the people oi the Unite|d States,"
declared) Representative Julius Kah
of .California, ranking minority
member of the House Military Com
mittee, In a statement herq today.
If anyone douots that we made
war on Mexico at Vera Cruz askk
ihe mothers! and fathers "of the
beys whw( were killed on the
streets of th3* Mexican seaport.
"Ask the wives tundj mothers an,d
sinters of the Mexicans who yore
k ilfd at Vera Cruz whether we
were at war with Mexico,
""Ask the relatives of thies eight
»een Americaa civilians who were
butchered at Santa Ysabel. "
"Ask the relatives of the United
3*ates soldiers who were 'treach
erously slain, at Carrfzal.
"Ask the mothers and sisters' of
hosewhot were slaughtered in the
riid at QolumbuB, Now Mexico,
whether we w>eoi§ at war with Mex
ico.
"Ask the citizens Qf Brdwnsville,
Red House Ferry, Progeso and Loo
Pel.idas whether; tlio President 'has
kept us out of war.'
"Ask the women and. childJren
who were threatened withl death, at
Tampieo by; an inSuriated Mexican
mob. 1
"Ask the thOusnds of American
citizens who were called upon, to
abandon their property] jn,1 Mexico
and to return, forthwith to th$ U
nited States whehter the President
has kept us out of war.'
"Ask the hundreds of those '.re
fugees who are in, the United Stages
toflav, oractically penmiliea and! in
want who were forced to leave
their oroperty and homes in; Mexico
because the Wilson, administration
refuse? to give them the protection
to whita they were Justly entitled
"Asit thn thousands of. peaceful
M'-xicans whoi have suffered famine
during 'wiatohful waiting.'
"An£. finally, ask th© wives and
children, the dependent mothers,
fathers and sisters of the 150,000
National Guardsmen who are 'en
camped on the Mexican border
whether the Prseident has kept us
ou» of war with Mexico.
"In 1912 thai Democratic plat
form proclaimed this high 'Bounding
doctrine:'
" "Tlie consntuuonaj rigni^ vm
American, citizens should protect
tV-m on ou.r borders, andi go with
the u tnrougjiout the world, and
every American citizen, residing or
having property; in aijy[ foreign
country is entitled to and must be
giveu the full protection of'the U
nlted States Government, both for
himself and for his property.'
"After several years o^ 'watchiful
waiting' Secretary of State Lansing
sent a leter to the head of the'de
facto government oij Mexieq in which
occurs this remairkable language. .
" 'The- progress of the revolution
In Mexico; Con*'nuous bloodshed
and disorders ha-yfe marked Its pro
gress. For threg years the Mex
ican Republic has been torn with
civil strife; lives a? American and
other aliens have beexij sacrificed;
vast properties developed by Amer-.
lean capital and enterprise have
been destroyed oij retderedi nonpro
ductive; bandita have been| permit
f»d to roam at will' through thfif
territory contiguous to the United
Sta-ei and fo seize, without punish
ment, the property of Americans
while the lives of citizens of the
Uniteed States who venture} to remai
in Mexican territory or to return
there to protect their lnterest.1
hare been taken, "and In soma cases
barl-arously taken, and thei murder
ers hare neither been apprehended]
nor brought to» justice.
" *lt would be tedious to. re
count instance after instance, out
rage after outrage, atrocity after
atrocity, to illustrate the true na>
ture and extent of the widespread
conditions of lawlessness and; vio
lence which) have prevailed. Not
onlv were these mu'iiders) character
ized by ruthless brutality but un
civilized acta of mutilation were
p"-X.evtrated.'
"This is the indictment of the
Wilson administration in Mexico by
its own Secratary of State."
