Excerpt from Barbarous Mexico

The action of President Taft in mobilizing the troops was taken without regard for the wishes of the American people and without due explanation to them. The action of the troops in seizing revolutionist supplies and arrest ing revolutionist recruits is not only against every tradi tion of political liberty upon which this nation is supposed to be based, but it is unlawful and criminal and punish able under the laws of the States by fine and imprison ment It 18 not a crime against any federal or state law to Shlp food, or even arms and ammunition, into Mexico with the open intention of selling them to the revolution ists. It is not a crime against any federal or state law to go from the United States into Mexico with the open intention of joining the revolution there.

Excerpt from Barbarous Mexico

And why has this thing been done? To maintain a chattel slavery more cruel than ever existed in our Southern states. To uphold a political tyranny a hundred times more unjust than the one against which our men of seventy-six revolted. If the policy of the Taft ad ministration be permitted to continue these purposes will be attained. Already the revolution has received such a set-back that, though it win in the end, many good and brave men must die who otherwise might have lived. The purpose of this book was to inform the American people as to the facts about Mexico in order that they might be prepared to prevent American intervention against a revolution the justice of which there can be no question.
