Criticise Position Taken by Speak
er Clark The 3fexican Situation.
(Special to The Caucasian.)
Washington, D. C. March 22, 1911.
President Taft returned on yester
day from his vacation trip in the
South. It was announced upon his
return that he would not ask Con
gress to do more than ratify the Can
adian reciprocity treaty, and then to
act on the reports made by the tariff
board as to the difference in the cost
of production here and abroad, and
to amend the general tariff law,'
schedule by schedule, in accordance
with the facts developed.
This declaration of the President
has caused wide discussion among
the Democratic Congressmen and
Senators who are here and the new
members who are arriving every day
for the extra session. Indeed, it may
be said that somewhat of a conster
nation has been created in the Demo
cratic ranks. Almost as many. dif
ferent views are being expressed as
to the Democratic position as there
are separate Democratic members of
the House and Senate.
Senator Bailey has just issued an
interview in the shape of a manifesto
or a defy to his opponents and crit
ics in the Democratic party, declaring
that he opposes this policy and also
that he opposes the policy of Speaker

pawns in the hands of these Demo

a few drinks of cheap whiskey and a
few cheap cigars for their pay. The
only Northern carpet-baggers who
were a part of this conspiracy were
those who acted as the agents and
associates of these leading Democrats.
The two factions in the Democrat

wrong, and the voters will probably
decide next time that both are
wrong.

Neither Harmon nor Wilson are
in good standing with the organiza

begins to look as though the Demo

need not be alarmed by the reports
of an American invasion which have
been spread in various quarters by
irresponsible persons.
There will be no move toward the
Mexican border unless outrages so
flagrant as to call for the presence
of a protecting force occur. Even In
the event of such an outbreak Presi
dent Taft would not think of acting
without the consent of Congress.
The President felt that it was his
duty as Commander-in-Chief of the
Army and Navy to prepare for an
emergency, so that If Congress should
be called upon to act its orders would
be carried out with the greatest pos
sible speed.
How long the troops will remain
In Texas will depend entirely upon
development in Mexico. The United
States Government has determined to
give President Diaz every possible
chance to restore order In his Repub
lic. President Taft has determined
that this Government shall fulfill its
international obligations in stopping
the smuggling of arms and ammuni
tion across the border when it is
known that they are to be used for
purposes of war. The enforcement
of the neutrality laws called for the
presence of many additional troops
and was one of the causes of the re
cent army movements. Having car
ried out its obligations in this , re
spect, the United States would feel
free to act further If the necessity
might arise.
President Taft is hopeful that this
necessity will not arise. But so long
as there is a possibility of danger, he
will keep an adequate force near at
hand. - .
Mexico has made no protest against
the presence of troops In Texas. Such
a protest , would be regarded as un
diplomatic Inasmuch as the troops
are on American soil and must re
main on American soil until Congress
shall otherwise direct.
President Taft repeatedly has as
sured the Mexican Ambassador, Ut4
De La Barra, that the Mexican Gov
ernment need feel no alarm over the
movement of troops. He has sent
the same assurances to the City of
Mexico. These assurances are In line
to maintain the friendliest of rela
tions so long as such relations are
possible. :
There is every reason to believe to
night that the troops will remain in
Texas for at least fonr months. Mean
time they will not be idle. The mo
billzatlon of the army will be taken
advantage of to impart Invaluable
training to the , officers and men of
the regular establishment and to the
general officers of the State Militia
organizations who will be . sent to

Just before the House convened.
