THE disciples of the red flag
throughout the country became
severely agitated when the Amer
lean troops were sent to the borders
of Mexico by President Taft to
protect American life and property.
The locals in their various temples
resoluted scathing resolves on the
action of the president and had
resolutions engrossed and sent to
the senator's and congressman of
the districts in which the temples
were located. They not only shed
large Russian tears over the op-
preston practiced by President
Diaz of Mexico but smeared up
considerable white paper in de-
manding the withdraw of the
troops from the Mexican border" "
The local of Negaunee, Mich,
was particularly strong with their
resolution and among other things
said:

THOSE snobs and upstairs at the
Annapolis naval academy who re-
fused to dance in the same hall
with an intelligent American girl
who earned her own money and
paid her own bills, should be
promptly kicked out of this free
institution of public learning for
the maintenance of which we are
all contributing. Snobishness is a
disease for which America has no
place and evidently the authorities
at Annapolis can do considerable at
the present time towards retarding
its growth by kicking out the
bunch that insu1ted the young
lady and replacing them with the
makings of real men.

TRY THE TRUTH

George Ade says about every
other fellow you meet thinks he
could run a good hotel, and we
have come to the conclusion, re-
marks the Ashland CO., Gazette,
that about every one you meet
could run a fine newspaper Men
will take tie liberty to tell you
how to run a paper, when they
would not think of limiting to the
merchant how to conduct his store
or tell the preacher what to preach.
They pay good money for schools,
and don't know whether Johnny is
learning the rule of three or how
to hold a cigarette gracefully, but
when it comes to the newspaper,
there's where they all get off.
During the past week a friend
wanted to know why we didn t
try and run paper a little more
along the lines of how Christ would
run a paper. We don't know just
how that would be. In the first
place, if Christ was back on earth
we don't believe that he would go
into the newspaper business at all.
If our friend had wanted it more
on religious plane we could tell
him frankly that it wouldn't pay
There is not an editor or a preacher
that could tell the truth for thirty
days and stay in the community in
which he lived. If our friend
doubts this let him try telling the
absolute truth for just one week
and see where he lights.
We never were much to soft
soap" or "blarney" anyone; in
fact, our bluntness and honesty oi
speech has lost us many friends.
Tell the truth We believe there
would be a better understanding
with humanity, many times, il
people had the courage to do it.
A Kansas editor announced he
would try for one week and he is
still in the hospital. He didn't
get past the first day. The follow
ing item appeared in Monday s
issue and now the boys are getting
out the paper. This is what he
said: Married. Miss Sylvia
Rhode to James Cannaham, last
Sunday evening at the Baptist
church. The bride was an ordin-
ary town girl who didn't know any
more than rabbit about cooking
and never helped her mother three
days in her life. She is not q
beauty by any means and has q
gait like duck. The groom is an
up-to-date loafer, has been living
off the old folks all his life and
don't amount to shucks anyhow
They will have hard life while
they live together.

NATURALLY all the Democrat

NATURALLY all the Democratic
exchanges lay the failure of the
re-apportionment measure to the
Republicans. Every man who
voted against this bill is a traitor
to his party, be he Republican or
Democrat and it will be up to the
people to see that no more chances
are offered them to repeat the trick.

liberties to an oppressed people,
we'll remembering that our own
political freedom was acquired
through just such resistance to
tyranny as is now being practiced
by the Mexican government.
Ishperning Iron Ore in COM
menting on the matter lets out
some pertinent truths which meets
the view of the MINER to a nicely
and we hereby reproduce the Ores
comment. The Ore says:
These Socialists in America
have acquired political freedom.
They are enjoying the opportun-
tiles and privileges of the very best
kind under the sun. Here they
can wave red flags, screech against
the government under which they
earn the best wages they ever
drew, and where homes and temples
can be reared; where they can
carry guns, shoot robins, dynamite
fish and openly kick" against
every governmental movement,
every financial enterprise and be in
little danger of prison or the sword.
Their own political freedom
was acquired" by leaving Russia
and coming to the United States.
1t was secured by the price of a
ticket. Their freedom was ac-
quired" in the real meaning of the
word. Those who made it possible
for them, who fought real fights
and paved the way to real indie
pendence left this country for that
great and better beyond many
years ago, and they were not of
the red-fag type, either. They
were real men.
The American troops are on
the southern border of our country
to prevent bloodshed and the
destruction of property. That is
the duty of troops. Those who
signed the resolution and their
kind do not love troops. They
despise them. They do not like
law or its enforcement. They do
not love presidents, but they for
get that this is not Russia.
The troops will remain until
they serve the purpose for which
they were sent. There is just one
Social st in congress and he isn't
asking for their withdrawal. This
Negaunee Socialistic Temple out
fit had better go and join the
Mexican revolltionists if they
want to help that cause. If they
are so valorous and so anxious for
the success of the oppressed of that
country they can buy ticket and
get into the same sort of political
game they fled from Russia to
escape. 1t is safer fighting from
the library in Negaunee temple
than it is on the desert of Sonora
however, and the liberty" these
gentlemen acquired" they prob
ably consider good enough for
them. 1t cost them nothing and
they are going to take no chances
with it on any real field of battle.
That Negaunee temple is a
great thing in free America-in
the land that accepts the people
from all other lands, good, bad and
worse. A change should be de-
manded preventing the admission
of political cranks and criminals
and in insisting that none other
than the stars and stripes should
be hoisted. 1t is too good a
country and too good a people to
be so insulted."

ed for. President Diaz was far-sighted
enough to understand that nothing
would make for the ultimate welfare
of the republic so much rs a bounteous
influx Of foreign capital and foreigners
to direct it. So every law that has
been enacted in Mexico, and every in
depreciation of the constitution that
has been made, have tended to better
conditions for the foreigner and his
capital
In a nutshell. the constitution is q
splendid chart Of human liberty. Yet
to live according to its letter would
conduce neither to the best interests
OF the individual citizen nor TO those
of the nation as a whole. Diaz has
been the kind Of government Mexico
has needed, and he has supplied it.

in many places no one denies. That.
