"Who is John Hays Hammond, that the
Administration should await personal report
from him to determine the correct attitude
toward Mexico? To be sure, he may have
mining interests in Mexico, as the Tribune
reports. So he had in the Transvaal at the
time Of the jameson raid He narrowly
escaped being hanged then. Mr. Hammond
also has dabbled in Republican politics, is
known for his views on dollar diplomacy and
has been neighbor of Mr.. Taft's, in Massa-

'But has the United States Government no
official representatives in Mexico from whom
it can secure information through the regular
channels? Or are Mr.. Hammond and his min
ing interests in Mexico to be of paramount
Importance in the Administrations considera-
tion?''
John Hays Hammond is the high-priced
mining engineer of the Morgan-Guggenhei
crowd, and it will be on his advice that our
Government will act on the Mexican situa-
tion-it will be on his orders that our Gov
eminent may Interfere in Mexico and thus
involve us in bloody war;
At the time Morse, the murderer of help
less infants, was pardoned it was intimated
that John Hays Hammond was the man who
persuaded the President to grant the pardon
1t is fact that Hammond did visit the Pres
ident only few days before the pardon was
granted-it is fact that Hammond has been
a prominent man with Mr.. Taft's administra-
ton, and that Hammand approved Secretary
KnoX's policy Of turning our Department Of
State into Morgan branch office.
But few people dreamed that Mr. Taft
would insult and humiliate the entire people
Of the United States as the Administrations
organ, The Tribune, states he has done-even
Mr.. Taft's enemies did not dream that his
cowardice had reached the stage of making
the country's welfare second in Importance
to the Morgan interests-we never dreamed
that Mr.. Taft would make the opinion of a
freebooter like Hammond of paramount
Importance in the Administrations considera-

nations in bloody conflict
President Taft will not appoint Judge Hook
to succeed the late Justice Harlan, as has been
reported in official circles in Washington, but
will appoint his Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, Charles Nagel.
There was strong objection to Judge Hook
by the Progressives, because of some of his
decisions, but the President did not change
his mind about the man because of that reason.
Judge Hook upheld the Oklahoma Jim

facturer cannot meet the foreigners price
here, but can ship steel rails or other steel
products to Europe and meet his price there,
after paying freight from here there?
How is it that the Steel Trust cannot COM
pete here with the foreign steel products
made by cheap foreign labor, when it can
ship its products to the very home of the
cheap foreign labor and compete with the
same cheap foreign labor there?
The truth is, that the Steel Trust does not
compete with cheap labor, for it uses the very
cheapest labor that can be found.
The bigger number of steel workers are for
eigners imported by the Trust-the cheapest
foreign labor that the Trust can get-they are
brought over here and put to work in the
steel mills, where they are virtually slaves
from the time they enter until they are phys
ically wrecked, and then they are thrown on
the dump pile.
The Steel Trust has crushed out the labor
unions among its employees has driven out
the American laborers by the long hours of
hard labor that it exacts from its employees
1t works in the place of the American the
cheap laborer from Southern Europe, who
cannot speak even our language, and who
dares not disobey the order Of the padrone.
The Steel Trust gets the American labor
ing man to vote for high tariff on the plea
that it gives him better wage and prevents
his skilled labor being pitted in competition
with the cheap labor of Europe.
After the American laborer votes into office
those who will pass the high tariff bill, the
Trust sends to Europe and gets the cheap
laborer that the tariff is supposed to shut out,
and puts him to work at the American labor
er's job.
Thus the Trust gets double proft-it
enjoys the high tariff, and it employs the
cheap foreign labor

''The Tribune threw an interesting side

SPRAGUE SELEcTMEN
 EMPOWERED TO BUILD. BRIDGE
Town Meeting is Told That New Steel Structure Would Cost from $500 to $4,200.

A town meeting for Sprague was held on Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the hall at Baltic, called spe- cially to take action upon the building of a bridge over the canal of the Baltic mills at the foot of Depot Hill to re- place the wooden bridge there that has outlived it's usefulness. John o. Dono- van was appointed chairman and Town Clerk Arthur P. Cote was clerk After an extended discussion of the subject, vote was passed authorizing the se- lectmen to proceed to get bids and have the bridge built and to borrow such money as needed.
 This action was taken after repre- sentative of the Berlin Bridge com pany had explained what could be done in constructing steel bridge. He es- timated such a bridge as was wanted could be built for from $3,soo to s4,200 and that his company could complete 1t in from four to five weeks, because it had material on hand that could be used in the construction, taking it from some work that is being done in the western part of the state. The steel bridge he spoke of would be of the truss type, single span of 73 feet, with concrete floor. It would have a 20 foot roadway for horses and a six foot walk for foot travel, separated from the road by railing.
 Suggestions were made about a bridge of reinforced concrete, which would cost from $s,000 to $11,ooO. A concrete bridge, however, could not be built without building abutments in the canal, and this is objectionable to the Baltic mill people. who do not want the waterways width decreased. The steel bridge would go on the present foundations
 The selectnen are anxious to get a new bridge built as soon as possible At the present time travellers going tc Hanover have to go around through the mill yard and over two bridges belong ing to the Baltic mill, while the town has to keep three night watchmen or duty in the neighborhood of the old bridge.

ONE MORE MEETING ON POQUETANUCK SCHOOLHOUSE HaIIViIle People Have Big Petition Desiring to Rescind Vote to Rebuild
 on Old Site.

The residents of Hallville concerned in the location of new schoolhouse for the fourth district to replace the one burned at the time of the Lucas mill fire are to make at least one more attempt to have the new school house located more in the center of the district than if 1t were rebuilt on the old site. A petition signed by forty of the Hallville people has been given to the Preston selectmen call- ing for another meeting to rescind the vote taken at the meeting of Nov. 23, when it was voted to rebuild on the old site.
 The Preston selectmen have accord ingly called a town meeting for next Friday afternoon at o'clock, with the matter of resembling the vote and the purchase of a lot as the business to be transacted.
 The Hallville people have been dis satisfied with the prospect of rebuild ing on the old lot, as they claim the schoolhouse should be located nearer Hallville, as that section contains a good proportion of the children who attend school in the Fourth district
 The coming meeting will make the fourth or fifth that has been held in an attempt to get the matter of the schoolhouse settled.
