Quiet Reigns in Mexico City.

Mexico City, Nov. 14.-Sunday, to
which both the authorities and the
American residents looked forward
with more or less uneasiness, pass
ed without renewal of the demonstra-
tions of the last few days, and the
feeling that the end of the trouble
had come seemed general.
There was no relaxation of vigil
ance by the authorities and during
the day and night strong patrols of
police were on guard in the business
district and in the American resi-
dence section.
Dispatches from Guadalajara today
reported no violence last night. A
proclamation that any gathering of
five or more persons on the streets
would be dispersed by the police had
a quieting effect on the students and
the vicious element, and no disturb
ance was attempted.
Federal and state cavalry patrolled
the streets throughout the night,

This from Commissioner of Police
Owens after the meeting of the
city commissioners last night.
1t was the regular meeting of the
city commission, and after the rou-
tine business was transacted the
question of salaries for policemen
was brought before the mayor and
the board of commissioners.
The salaries of the policemen
heretofore has been $4,000 per
month, but by unanimous vote
of the council it was decided to
raise the amount to $500 per
month, and add two additional plain
clothes men, thereby reducing the
hours of duty to eight for each
shift.
Commissioner Owens was empow-
cred to select two men for the
force, and he stated last night that
they would be good ones. He said
that the people of the state had
twice expressed their preference for
prohibition, and that ne would see
that the police department under his
control performed their full duty.
In this he was seconded by the
mayor and every member of the
board
The mayor and TIE board of COM
missioners are in earnest in this
matter as Commissioner Dawson
said last night, "The time has come
when something must be done in
this matter, and l for one want
to go on record as being heartily
in favor of the cleanup movement
and make this a dry town in fact"
Another thing was called to the
attention of the commissioners. ann
was this: here are several people
operating business in the city un.

fecionery, in other words an occupa-
tion tax, and using this as a blind,

Hold on, Joubert, not so fast!
We said nothing about this pigs

be judged by the fact it had no

eminent, and the revenue collector
as rule is one who has a very
keen scent, and he has exceptional

County option goes farther than
the mere passing issue, important
as the latter may be. 1t is es-
sential democracy in government.
1t gives into the hands Of the peo-
pie control Of their own business.
It breaks down one side of the wall
that has grown up between the peo-
pie and their affairs. 1t strikes q
blow at the boss system Of party
control. It removes from the
counters of statewide bargain and
sale the health and welfare and har-
piness of the locality concerned
with a problem entirely local to its
own interest. It is a direct acting,
powerful instrument in the hands
of the people to bring back into
their possession, out of the hands
of the interests and the party eau
Gus, direct municipal control. 1t
is right in principle. 1t is efficient
in practice. The only serious OBJ
lection that can be raised to it is
that it lessons the influence of the
least desirable elements in our po-
lltical life-an objection which
should win for it the firm support
of all who desire the democracy of
direct, untrammeled rule by the
people.-Farm, Stock and Home.

A on SIDED I PAPER,
Protection For Workers Shocks
New York Tribune.
THE IDEA IS UNAMERICAN.

But the Great Advocate Of High Pro.
lection Sees No Wrong In the Gov.
eminent Providing High Dividends
For Selfish Manufacturers.
The New York Tribune Of Feb. II
has funny editorial on the subject Of
the Right to Work" 1t is not. OF
course. intended to be funny, but it is
a funny editorial for such paper to
print. for the Tribune is a high pro.
tectionist paper and thick and thin
supporter OF the Payne-Aldricb tariff
Yet here is what it says about the de-
mand made by the English labor par
ty that work shall be provided at the
public expense for every man who
wants it:
1.-The theory is that the world owes
every man living and If one cannot
find a private employer who wants
his labor and will pay him wages he
may demand employing of the state
as natural and inalienable right and
the state will have to give it whether
it needs his services or not"
If that is a fair description Of the
demands of organized labor. wherein
does it differ from the demand of an
American protectionist capitalist who
goes to Washington and says: Mr..
Aldrich. am in the manufacturing
business. and | can't make it pay
The Germans are getting all the con-
tracts. and can't get one. So want
a tariff that will enable me to put up
my prices 40 or so per cent and thus
continue in business?"
Speaking of the effect Of thus sub
sidizing labor in the city of Manches-
ter by means of public works to re-
! lieve unemployment. it goes on to say:
I'VE are Informed that S75.135 was
paid for work which under normal
| conditions would have cost $22,600-
| that is to say, the work cost the tax
payer more than thrice times as much
as it should have cost"
Is it necessary to 60 all the way to
| Manchester to find a parallel case to
this? Surely not. Is not the Ameri-
can consumer always paying out mon
| ey to the trusts that he would never
need to pay if the government did not
put into their hands legal weapon
with which to raise prices? Ex-Gov-
ernor Douglas of Massachusetts, has
shown that to put $2.50O.OOO into the
United States treasury as result of
our former duty on hides we put ST.
100000 of unnecessary profits into the
hands Of the beef and leather trusts.
And the same rule applies to other pro-
tected articles.
If. it is right to protect the unem-
ployed capitalists. why is it wrong to
protect the unemployed laborers? The
truth is that we have too much pro-
lection and too little economic free
dom for both labor and capital.
