From all reports old Diaz, for years
president OF Mexico, has either ruled
the roost long enough and has come
to think he is an absolute monarch, or
he has become a mere tool for the great
Interests that rule this country as well
as Mexico, though they pursue less
open and brutal methods here in get
ting what they want 1t is about time
the American people were waking up
to some Of the iniquities that are COM
ing to light along the southern border
Of our country in which the courts are
the catspaw of some high in power. 1t
seems rather peculiar, too, we have to
thank few little socialist papers for
the expose of the old skunk's govern
ment in pursuing its political patriots
to this side Of the line and getting our
courts to aid in the dirty work and de-
ny them the rights Of the meanest
criminals on earth. We doff our cady
to these socialist papers for the nerve
they exhibit in exposing deviltry in
high places with no hope of reward
unless 1t be that of being railroaded
to Jail and their papers squelched.

Another PIutOcratic Use for the Flag

so often disgusted the country from
that aristocratic source.
Bot TO the Point at Issue
But the point at issue is the use Of
the American flag, the flag about which
capitalist PARROTS are so extremely par
ticular, on this occasion.
Four years ago the whole country
roared with indignation because work
lngmen inscribed some burning truths
on the stripes of the American flag
under the infamous Peabody admins
tration in Colorado which had prosti-
tuted that flag in the service of the
Guggenheim trust that is now engaged
in stealing Alaska. For this treasona-
BILE crime these workingmen were
thrown into bull pens and outraged
beyond expression.
Now the sclons of capitalist aristoc-
racy, the epauleted upstairs Of the
navy, wrap a painted harlot in the sa-
cred folds of the American flag and
placed her on public exhibition. What
now think you of "Old Glory" the
stars and stripes of the sacred en-
blem, and the sacred" use to which
they are put by the patriots themselves
who are ready at any moment to shoot
down a wOrkingman who dares to
even intimate that the flag, the Ameri-
can flag, is not the emblem Of freedom,
justice and every virtue that adorn the
character Of civilized nation2
The American flag has in this in
stance been worse than prostituted by
this patriotic gentry of naval Newport
In this saturnalia that would shame a
Bowery dive, the same gentry who
claim that Socialism would destroy
morality and disrupt the family rela-
tion, and what will be done about it,
What punishment for treason will be
meted out to these offenders?
The flag under plutocracy has been
made to hide foul immortality, as dem
onstrated conclusively in this scandal
in the naval circles of Newport.-Ap-
peal to Reason, June 4.

Trickery One ofG.O.P. Strong Points

Nothing seems too absurd for the G..

on the floor of the house by Represent

as ornaments by the poor, it levies a

one for the head of the State Central or
Executive committee who is similarly
identified. We take it for granted that
Mr.. Hanley is an able man, a student,
if you will, and just the kind of man
who courts success in whatever under
taking he engages, but the representa-
tive of no corporation of such maRni-
tude as the Gas Combine, the Big
Telephone Interests and such like
should have the destiny of the Demo-
cratic party of the state of Ohio in his
hands, for that would mean its defeat
this year and for many years to come.
With the chance that the Democracy of
Ohio seems to have this year TO win a
decisive victory, the rank and file of
the party should not permit any en-
tangling alliances on the part of the
delegates to the state convention or the
members of the state and executive
committees in the selection of their re-
spective committee officials. We do
not uphold the attacks on representa-
tive public men by the newspapers,
but there is an old saying to the effect
that where there is so much smoke
there must be some fire, but If there is
no fire in the Hanley preserves there
should be no smoke, and if there is no
smoke, then the Scripps- McRea scribe
is barking up the wrong tree.

One of the Roosevelt 'policies" re-
vived recently by President Taft is
causing considerable newspaper COM
ment. 1t was his attack upon Social
ism in his address at Ada, repeated
later in a speech at Jackson, Mich.
The washingtonlstsr (Rep.) expresses
its belief that "the presidents warning
against Socialism" comes none too
soon," and remarks that what recent
ly occurred in Milwaukee may occur
elsewhere"
Mr.. Taft seems to have jumped to the
conclusion that he will win popularity
by following the exsmple of Roosevelt
as a declaimer against Socialism.
Neither he nor Roosevelt have awak-
ened to the fact that Roosevelt is today
the biggest asset of the Socialist propa-
Randa. The more Roosevelt ranted
about Socialism the more rapidly So
cialism spread throughout this country.

Wapakoneta Democrat, June 8.

mighty questionable way to establish
his fitness for such high honors.

League newspapers took shot at thu
candidacy of Hanley the other day, anC
the fusillade pricked the skin of the
Daytonian all over in spots. 1t wen
so deep that Hanley published a card
in the Dayton News over his own sig
nature in which he defended himsel,
against the attacks of the newspaper
correspondent, and he had sufficient
pull with the management of the News
to have an editorial defense of his life
published in the Saturday edition Of
that paper. All of this goes to establish
the fact that Edward Hanley is not
senatorial timber, at least not of suffi-
cient heft to satisfy the Democracy OF
Ohio this year. The fact that Mr..
Hanley was once poor boy is one OF
the strong points in his favor for any
position he may desire to attain, but
the fact that he is connected in a way
with the conduct of the affairs of the
Miami Valley Gas company precludes
his getting into the race for senatorial
honors on the Democratic side of the
fence at this particular time, and it
should also preclude his retention at

Another Magazine Feels the Pressure

A few of our readers who subscribed
for the American Magazine, supposed
to beyond the reach of the deadening
fingers of plutocracy, are now wiser
than they were. 1t has followed the
footsteps of McClure's and the rest.
Readers of the American who be-
came deeply interested in John Ken
meth Turner's articles on "Barbarous
Mexico have been puzzled at their
sudden and unaccountable stoppage.
Mr.. Turner's explanation is published
in the June issue of the Appeal to
Reason, of Girard, Kansas. In sub
stance it is, to use Mr.. Turner's words,
because the editors of the American
Magazine found themselves face to
face with "a power whose might they
had misjudged and which threatened
to crush Them" The serious arti-

surprised? When Lcrimer was elect

it was plain that some powerful influ-
ence had been employed.
1T would be we'll if every guilty
man could be brought to account, but
something must be done to protect the
Senate for the future and to make
practically impossible the purchase of
another senatorial seat"

Aping Roosevelt Mutton for Socialism

better than to have President Taft give
them a little public attention. They
have already responded gleefully to his
remarks at Ada and in Michigan, and
promises of "more to follow" are made
literally.
In his speech at Jackson, Mich, Mr..
Taft declare that "the Republican party
had shown itself capable of dealing
with great questions effectively and
wisely" the inference being that the
Republican party alone is capable of
dealing with Socialism, which he des-
ignated as that problem than which
we had no greater in the history of the
country" Apparently Mr.. Taft is so
blinded by partisanship that he cannot
see what must be very plain to all
thinking minds-that the Republican
party of today, with its trusts and its
tariff extortions, the monopoly of all
national resources, is the mainstay Of
Socialism.

Chairman Simmons of the "stal-
wart" state campaign committee, was
inclined early this morning to the
opinion that Egan would win, but
that was before the returns had been
footed. He claimed the nomination
of the two congressman and Of the
whole state ticket.
Chairman Richards OF the 'pro-
gressive" committee at Huron claim
ed Vessey's nomination by not less
than 1000 votes but would express
no opinion on congressman. 1t was
the impression at those headquarters
that johnson would win for state
treasurer because he was running
strong in all counties reporting. The
rest of the state ticket, Richards
claimed for the "progressives."
Richards himself was defeated for
the state senate in Beadle county by
George Wright yer a hundred votes.
Returns on congressman today re-
moved all doubt of the nomination of
Burke and Martin, as, with about
$4,000 votes reported, they have a
lead of 5000 or more votes. The to-
tails are, Burke 15.435; Martin, TO-
1920 Schrader, 1890 and Thorson

that Thorson is low man, whereas
many expected him to be the highest.
