WAR

DrOugnt TO bear upon Mr.. 1a1U
by the Morgan railroad interests,
the Standard Oil interests, the
Guggenheim mining and smelt-
ing interests and others, togeth-
er with Mr.. Taft's political in
terests leads one to conclude
that war with Mexico is inevi-
table. The cause leading up to
a condition in Mexico which max
es Intervention by our govern
ment nigh impossible can very
justly be laid to the President of
Mexico, Mr.. Madero-to Mr..
Madero's ignorance. ,s1r. Madero
was not onto his job. This is
what he did. or rather permit
ted to be done: He permitted
l.. Gueterro DeLara-whom his
predecessor, the butcher Diaz,
strove for years to hang-to en-
ter the City of Mexico, and with
old Mother Jones to organize in
dustrially the workers of the
Federal city. In the Federal
district Of Mexico there are great
cotton industries and mills be-
longing largely to United States
capitalists. The worke ers in these
mills received formerly IS cents
day out of which they paid 80
cents week to their matters for
the use of shacks to live in. And
as result of the organization
by DeLara and Mother Jones
eight thousand of the cotton
workers went on a strike, and by
doing so have crippled the cot
ton industry to the extent that
dividends from the same are
seriously effected.
President Madero must have
thought that he could serve two
masters; serve the common peo-
pie and the master class. He
was shown, however, that he
cannot please both sides; he was
shown that he has yet to learn
that the only way to deal with
labor troubles and labor agitat-
ors is the way that President
Cleveland, ,Steunenberg, Peabody
and Crazy Horse" and others
did. He has yet to learn that if
he permits labor agitators to in
terefere with profits which
should accrue to American citi-
zens that he is furnishing cause
for US, his northern neighbor, to
jump on him all spraddled out.
President Madero should have
known that our President has
had a chip on his shoulder for
some time; that only short
time since he was looking toward
Cuba seemingly with the thought
that he could get it knocked off
in that direction. He should
have known that if our Presi.
dent does not suceeed-mighty
quick-in starting a foreign war
that his chance for re- nomination
for the presidency is very slim
indeed. Mr.. Madero. l think,
should have known that it is an
old and favOrite trick with the
ruling class to involve q nation
in foreign war when the people
become discontented with the
prevailing conditions. This is a
trick Shakespeare tells of, the
advise of one of his retainers to
Henry vi, to declare a foreign
war in order to divert attention
from the rotteness of his Court.
Napoleon understood this secret
and united the discontented
French people by inaugurating
a foreign war.
If President Madero was up
to. date he should have known
that the politicians of the United
States understand that they have
about reached the limit of the
peoples credulousness; that the
people can no longer be fooled
by tariff, reciprocity or fool
dinner pail talk.
In 9 foreign war the rich, the
ruling class, lose nothing. They
