Last Sunday evening our much es

was suddenly stricken with a com
plaint incident to an affection of the
kidneys, which caused him a consid
erable amount of grief and suffering
and it .was . only by; tLe aid of , the
lancet, of. the surgeon and. other ap
paratus that he was afforded relief
He is far from well and will require
much careful treatment "to get thru
with the difficulty. Let us all hope
that he may soon be himself again
and be able to be around. His condi
tion was so grave that Stewart Rough
had to leave the elevator to assist in
his care. J. G. Wunderlich, very kind

time during which Mr. Bates was the
worst.

day Evening Post of May 23, 1914,
and was written by Samuel G. Bly
the. - i
The Mexican paper asserted that
Wilson had expressed a desire to go
to Mexico to establish Mexican so-!
cialism constitutionally, and that he
can "be considered the real author
of article 27 of the Mexican ccn-,
stitution. .
The conversation was held on
April 27. 1914, Mr. Blythe wrote
"only a few hours after word had
come that Huerta would accent the i
representatives of Argentina, Bra- i
zil and Chile" in the trouble then i
existing.
Mr. Blythe quoted President Wil
son as saying:
"It is a curious thing that every
demand for the establishment ofj
order in Mexico takes into consid-,
eration, not order for the benefit of
the people of Mexico, the great mass
of the population, but order for the
benefit of the old-time regime, for;
the aristocrats, for the vested inter- '
ests, for the men who are respon
sible for this very condition of dis
order.
"All for Exploiters."
"Xo one asks for order because
order will help the masses of the
people to get a portion of their rights
aid their land; but all demand it
so that the great owners of prop
erty, the overlords, the hidalgos, the
men who have exploited that rich
country for their own selfish pur
poses, shall be able to continue their
processes undisturbed by the protests
of the people from whom their wealth
and power have been obtained.
"The dangers that beset the re
public are held to be the individual
and corporate troubles of these men,
not the aggregated injustices that
have been heaped on this vastly
greater section of the population
that is now struggling to recover by
force what has always been theire
by right.
"They want order the old order;
but I say to you that the old order
is dead. It is my part, as I see it,
to aid in composing those differences
so far as I may be able, that the new
order, which will have its founda
tion on human liberty and human
rights shall prevail." '
Mr. Blythe wrote that as a result
of his conversation with Mr, Wil
son, he could state the conclusion
that the policy of the president in
cluded "a settlement of the agarian
land Question by constitutional
means such as that followed in New
Zealand, for example, will be insist
ed on."
Reply by Wilson.
Mr. Wilson was not directly
Quoted in the conference to New
Zealand and there was no other
mention of that country in the ar
ticle. Mr. Blythe asked Mr. Wilson
whether in the event of successful
meditation, offered at that time, his
plans for the settlement of Mexico
would be carried out.
President Wilson was quoted in
reply as follows:
"I hope so, for it is not my in
tention, having begun this enter
prise, to turn back unless I am
forced to do so until I have as
surances that the great and crying
wrongs the people have endured are
in process of satisfactody adjust
ment. Of course it would not do for
us to insist on an exact procedure
for the partition of the land, for
example, for that would set us up
in the position of dictators, which
we are not and never shall be; but
it is not our intention to cease in
our friendly offices until we are as
sured that all these matters are on
their way to successful settlement.
It is a great and complicated ques
tion, but I have very hope that a
suitable solution will be found, and
that the day will come when the
Mexican people will be put in full
possession of the land, the liberty
and the peaceful prosperity that are
rightfully theirs."
