Lincoln Neb. Marsh .1. The pol-
icy ot the Wilson administration In
dealing with the Mexican situation
was warmly defended at the Bryan
birthday banquet held in thia city
tonight.
It was after midnight berore tne
address of Senator Robinson who was
the last speaker concluded his ad-
dress. Dofendlnj' the administration's
Mexican policy declaring .Secretary
Bryan was the originator of "watch-
ful waiting" and predicting that the
people will some day rejoice over the
warning against "woe and desolation"
that would follow Intervention In
Mexico Senator Robinson recited the
history of "ill-fated" Mexico from the
days of Maximilian v asserting that
conditions today are worse than ever
and that Mexico haa continually de-
clined through upheavals until today
the country is divided with Huerta at
the head of one assumed government
and Carranca and Villa attempting to
reign supreme in another.

Maximilian was benevolent; Ma

declaration 'It costa but 36 cents

Carranca Is like Madero. Villa is like
Huerta. His sagacity and aggres
siveneas have made him the master

Benton and- Itaui-h Kitted
I "The slaughter of Benton and
(murder of Bauch respectively British
and American just recently by this
'human tiger have alienated the
sympathy of the administration and
consigned the cause oi tne canstttu
lona lists to doubt if not to doom 11
the minds and conscience of all our
people. .
"With Villa in command In the
north and Huerta In power in the
south what hopa has Mexico? If the
constttutlonaltst'eause should triumph
the fate of Madero may become the
lot of Carranca. Villa probably will
dominate him or destroy htm. The
dark ages with all their horrors
tyranny usurpation and torture can-
not produce names more hideous In
all that Implies oppression and out-
rage than the names of Huerta and
Villa There is little choice between
these men. Huerta stands for the old
regime. Villa fights for Its destruc
tion." i
Senator Robinson predicted that
the cause of the constitutionalists
would be retarded. If not defeated
"by its lawless leadership which
seems to recognise no limitations
upon its own wrath.''
"The policy of our government is
Justified by conditions In Mexico"
Senator Robinson continued. "The
spirit of impatience which has
prompted some to -advocate armed In
tervention must be. restrained. Our
experience in the Philippines and the
whole history of Mexico warn us
against hasty or inconsiderate action.
Intervention means a long period of
occupation. It makes certain the sac
rifice of thousands of Uvea. It would
array all Mexico against the Ualted
States and unite all factions there
against our armies.
Let those wno criticise tne poney
of "watchful waiting anticipate the
results of armed Intervention. Let
them realise the many turbulent years
of strife that must follow; the blood
that must Inevitably flow; the homea
that must be made desolate; the al
most hopelessness of the problem ot
bringing order .out of chaos and ot
establishing a stable government
Mexico In principles unfamiliar to her
people.
"The character habite ana tradi
tions of the Mexican people underlie
their present struggle and confirm the
administration s policy to leave Mex
ico to work out her own salvation."
Huerta and Villa must however be
made to realise the aaoredness which
other nations attach to human life
and property. They must be in-
structed to look for a day when every
wrong Derpetrarnd upon a foreigner
in Mexico must have restitution.
We now celebrate the birthday ot
one who is in many respects the
most remarkable man of our times.
During the last twenty years Mr.
Bryan has bean the leader of political
reform in the United States. Many of
his principles have been written into
the law. He has stood for ueaee

likewise In the consideration of In-

that peace In Mexico In Ihe last ana-
