THE CLOTHING TRADE STRIKE.

UNDESIRABLE MOTION PICTURES

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the name OF fair play. for the sake

his speedy expulsion.
The second organization has just an
nounced through it's president. J E Brual-
tour. that no manufacturer marketing his
pictures through his organization would
stoop 10 such a degrading use OF great
invention.
Permit ne to say in connection with the
subject generally that the motion picture

Is vulgarly credited with. The crime Him.

BACKBONE.

1t seems incredible to Governor Cruce
of Oklahoma that the prizetight adver-
tised for tonight ut. Madison square
Garden can be permitted in New 1orh
City. He prevented 1t from beng heiu
in his state. and in the course OF thc
controversy which ensued ordered Out
the militia to support his views on pro-
fessional pugilism.
Apparently ii doesn't seem af all ih-
proper TO Governor Dix that this hsn'
should be held. To be sure, all the teS-
timony brought out by the inquiry u
the State Boxing Commission SHOWS
that the club conducting these Garden
prizefghts did not meet the require
ments Of the law as TO a license, and
therefore breaks the law when II gives
fights under a license improperly OD'
tanned. The Governor Of this state Is
sworn to uphold its laws. He signed the
nrizehCht law himself. though he knows
so little about II that he is quoted as
saving that il applies to various sports
other than boxing. He and his Demo
cratic administration are responsible TOT
putting the state into partnership WIZ
prizefght promoters. One Of the men
whom be appointed is trying faithfully
and decently to do his duty UNDER that
law. Another appointee Is forcing 8
deadlock on all questions affecting this
particular club. The Governor car
break the deadlock by filling the vacant
third place. and so end this scandalous
spectacle Of a prizefght clubs continued
defiance OF the states laws. Governor
Dix would not even have to call out the
militia TO enforce the law If he had
little Of the Oklahoma Governors spirit
and backbone

THE STATES AND INTERSTATE
REGULATION.

THE STATES AND INTERSTATE
REGULATION.
The fact that two Western Governors
made the recent decision Of Judge San
horn of the United States Circuit
Court. virtually subordinaung the state
regulation of railroads to the federal
regulation Of them the subject Of dis
courses at the Governors Conference
indicates how keenly the West teels
tIpon this issue. which has attracted lit
lie attention in the East. Governor
Aldrich Of Nebraska spoke sharply Of
judicial tyranny" and suggested that
the attitude of the courts called tor
radical and heroic treatment Ana
Governor Hadley Of Missouri expressed
his fear for the future Of the states.
their rights and authority. if the Su-
preme Court should uphold Judge San
born's doctrine that state regulation
must keep within such bounds as not TO
interfere with interstate regulation.
The subject is one Of such Importance
as to make the appeal from Judge San
born's decision one OF the great cases
before the United States Supreme Court.
No doubt the court will find a way to
safeguard the interests both Of the
states and Of the nation though the
problem is full of difficulties As II IS
now. regulation by the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission is more or less at the
mercy Of regulation by the state com
missions. as is shown in the case Of the
cement freight rates made in Texas.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
some time ago cut the interstate rates
on cement TO certain points in Texas in
order 10 give manufacturers Of cement
IL other states q market for their
product in Texas. The Texas railroad
commission replied by cutting the mira
state rates upon cement to such an eX-
tent that manufacturers outside of the
state could not compete with Texas
manufacturers in the sale Of the prod
net within the state. Thus Texas uses
its power to regulate commerce within
/ its borders so as 70 exclude q certain
portion Of Interstate commerce.

prRELY PLCKWICKIAN.

The Tribune's Ottawa correspondent
gives expression to the fear that the
grotesdue anti-American campaign being
made by the Conservative party in Can
ada will create bad feeling in this coun-
fry and may also intensity the existing
anti-American prejudice cherished by
The extremer Tories in Canada. Whether
any considerable number Of Canadians
will take seriously the extravagances Of
Mr.. Borden's snti-reciprocity campaign
we cannot say. But on this side Of the
border the public is so accustomed to
discounting arguments intended to hold
good only until the polls close thar II
attaches no weight whatever 20 TIE
present Conservative assault on all
things American. II sees that Mr. BOr-
den and his followers have had 10 appeal

no INTERVENTION IN MEXICO.

| NO INTERVENTION IN MEXICO.
II ought not to have been Necessary
! for the United States either formally or
informally to disclaim intention of in
/ tervening in Mexican affairs to the ex-
I tent OF securing the postponement Of
l the Presidential election and debating
It's result. II is a regrettable circum-
stance. inseparable from perverse human
nature. that a government cannot do a
GOOD act in appropriate circumstances
without the danger that presently some
body, either maladroit or malicious, will
urge the doing Of the same thing in al
together different and inappropriate cir
cumStanceS. The notion Of some folks
seems To be that because this country
interviewed in Cuba and exercised some
moral influence IN Panama therefore it
ought to intervene in Mexico. OF course
that is an egregious non sequitur. The
status Of Cuba and Panama Is alto
cether different from that Of Mexico.
They are 10 a certain extent dependen-
cies of the United States. in whose af-
NAV be the duty Of this country 10 in
tervene on occasion That is provided
for by treaty stipulations. But Mexico
is no dependency. but is as independent
Is the United States itself. and there is
no ground for our Intervention. unless.
Of course, in extraordinary circum-
stances when all treaties and interna-
tional relations are negligible, which we
DO not expect 10 occur.
II is gratifying, however, 70 know that
Mexicans realize the croundIessness of
the talk about intervention and apbre-
ciate the good faith Of this country, and
10 perceive that they are on the whole.
striving earnestly. honestly and intelli-
gently to maintain their moral a. well
as legal title 10 national independence.
II Is true that there have been some dis
creGitable incidents in the campaign.
There arc at the present time some dis
turbances in some Of the Mexican states,
particularly along the American border
places frequently chosen for outbreaks
with sinister design But on the whole
the republic is tranquil aid the political
campaign is creditably conducted. IL
was q most cOmmendable thing for Mr.
Madero 10 discountenance the proposal
which was made by some Of his over
jealous partisans that the election
should be postponed in order to i'm
urOve his chances Of winning. and we
nay now expect that no more tricks Of
any kind will be attempted but that The
campaign will culminatc and the cleo
ton be held IN q manuer befttins
Ration worthy Of seif-government
II is Of great Importance 10 the

which II suffered generation ago would
be a misfortune to this country. because
