The World Stands Aghast.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 24, 1913:
Special to The New York Times.

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 23.— The Enquirer editorial will say to-morrow:
    The ghastliness of conditions in Mexico has been further enhanced by the slaughter of its deposed President and Vice President.
    The death of Francisco Madero, whether the result of accident or of duplicity and premeditation, discloses either the utter inefficiency of the Huerta Government or that it has not yet had time to grasp firmly the reins of law and order. The world stands aghast at this further evidence of lawlessness and anarchy in the rich Republic of the South.
    There is nothing in the present condition that would warrant intervention on the part of the United States.
