THE TROUBLE IN MEXICO

Editor Herald: A cartoonist in a
newspaper pictures the United States
as an eagle, with an extremely vicious
look, threatening Mexico, represented
as a little rooster standing on a smok-
ing bomb. This is silly. Why should
our republic threaten the Mexican
revolutionists, who are only trying to
throw off an intolerable tyranny and
make their country republic in fact
as well as in name? 1t will be the
height of wickedness if Uncle Sam
steps in to coerce the Mexicans into
continuing to live under a tyranny
which would not be borne by Ameri-
cans for a single day. LIBERTY.

KANSAS AND PROHIBITION

Editor Herald; Speaking of Kansas
people riding around in automobiles
and of their presenting such show
of wealth, reminds me that if they
continue inforcing strict prohibition
laws as they have during the past few
years it won't be long till they will be
sailing about in airships and dropping
silver dollars down on some of the
states, where they are needed, to feed
drunkards wives and children on,
while the hui oands and fathers serve
out pri-on sentences or lie around
saloons. w, S. BURROUGHS

Editor Herald: The members of the
butter and egg trust met yesterday
and decided that eggs were too high
and reduced the price cents per
dozen.
1 respectfully call the attention of
District Attorney Fredericks to this
fact and to the fact that such trust
exists and that the case is fully COW
cred by the Sherman act and the Cart
wright law. If he wants proof let him
visit the cold storage warehouses and
see the millions of pounds of butter
and dozens of eggs that are held for
higher prices. Or is he under such
obligations to "the interests" that the
people cut no ice? Let us wait and see
if he acts SOLOMON TEMPLE.

THE CASE OF FRED WARREN

Editor Herald: There are so many
interesting paragraphs and communi-
cations to the Letter Box that one is
tempted when taking up the morning
Herald to trespass on time intended for
other matters. But after all the Letter
Box discussions and the interesting
editorials are so gratifying to those
interested in the important subjects of
these stirring times that it pays for
the time spent.
The editorial remarks about Social
lists and what they want to do can
but command respect, coming as they
do from the organ of another party.
Such were the pleasant thoughts
suggested by reading lately the good
things in The Herald. But 1 should
not be true to myself If / put down
my pen and said no more. / must ex~
press disappointment when / came to
a paragraph which in a few words an
nounced such an important matter as
the fact that hero and martyr, Fred
d. Warren, had to go to Jail. 1t was
not surprise, the writer being famil

tempts to find him guilty of viola
tion of law. The first accusation
against Warren was dismissed for
want of evidence to sustain it. Then
came an order from Washington to
reopen the case; and later a trial by
jury, not of his peers, as is lawful,
but composed wholly of Republicans,
some of whom were opposed to him
before called to serve on the jury. He
was sentenced by a judge who said
when this case was presented l was
in doubt whether there had been
violation of law. 1 am still
in doubt" but submitted to the de-
mands from Washington and passed
sentence. Instead of a speedy trial
the Warren case had, by the prosecu-
ton, been postponed again and again
from May, 1907 until November, 1910,
when the appellate court, after a de-
lay of many months doubtless wait
ing until after election), decided that
Warren must go to Jail.
That a man who unselfishIy devotes
the best years of his life for the
emancipation, or, if you please, what
he considers to be for the emancipa-
tion of the producers of all wealth, the
men, women and children of the coun-
try, should be by a partisan jury and
Judge condemned to pay fine of $500
and to go to prison for six months
must, it would seem, be a matter of
great interest to every voter, and, in
deed, to every resident lest he should
have to suffer the same injustice. And
could not The Herald, that evinces so
much sympathy for the widow and
orphans, and a disposition to be just
to political opponents, find something
to say in condemnation Of the un-
precedented and unconstitutional con-
duct Of the Warren case, for which not
the Democrats, but Republicans and
the Republican president, are respon-
sible? NJ. v. LONGLEY.

A MUNICIPAL NEWSPAPER
MITNIclPAI- nemsnaner snch as h,

MUNICIPAL newspaper such as has been
~ proposed for Los Angeles might or might
not be a good thing. Its influence would
be limited unless it were entertaining enough to
cause good demand for it, and some of those who
propose it seem to have an inadequate idea of the
amount of money, the extent of equipment and the
large force of workers needed TO collect, prepare
and verify the matter and make it interesting
Then suppose there should be slump in the
reform movement and the old machine forces
should regain control. They could adopt ord.
nances as they pleased to govern the conduct OF
the paper. Not only would it have within it large
graft possibilities for few men but it conceivably
might be made an agency for Misrepresentation
and force to entrench bad officials in power.
If Philadelphia and Denver have municipal
papers it does not appear that they have accom-
plished much Philadelphia is still in the complete
grasp of the worst machine in the country. 1t
