BACK DETROIT

Continued from page ID
81 am standing pat" Johnson de-
clared when asked his position on the
strike. He refused absolutely 10 dis
cuss the matter. Johnson went imme-
dlately to the Bellevue tratford, where
he was Joined shortly by President
Shibe Of the Athletics, Manager Con
ME Mack and Manager jennings Of De
troit. The two managers left a short
time later, but Shibe and Johnson re-
manned in conference for several hours.
They refused to say what had tran
spired.
Jennings Waits For Nsvin.
President Nayin, owner Of the De
troit club, had not arrived, and until
he does arrive nothing can be accom-
pliShed. Jennings has haunted the rail
road stations, meeting every train from
the west. He wants to have u talk
with Nayin before the owner Of the
striking Tigers sees Ban johnson. It
was declared that Owners Moves Of
the Washington club and Farrell of the
New York club had been summoned
here for the conference and hat the
entire question would be settled by
these two men in conjunction with
Owners Navin of Detroit, Shibe of
Philadelphia and Johnson. This could
not be verified by Johnson, as he stuck
close to his apartments and refused to
answer any messages. Shibe made the
brief announcement that there was
nothing new In the situation.
Striking Players Gloomy.
At the Aldine hotel, where the De
troit players are stationed, there is an
air of gloom, and several of the players
have said ~confidentially that they
think they acted in rather a hasty man
ner.
The players got q tip from some
unknown source, strongly limited at as
coming from Jennings, that She entire
strike would be settled by a short sus-
pension of Cobb and by the punish
ment OF the ringleaders among the
strikers. The players Immediately held
an executive session, in which they
passed a resolution agreeing to stand
by each other, and II punishment WINS
handed out to M player and Others
were allowed to return to the game
without punishment that they would
stand together and all be pardoned or
all be punished. Almost Immediately
after passing this resolution cooler
heads prevailed, and the vote was re-
considered and the resolution was
abandoned.
Since coming here Ban Johnson has
remarked that Manager Jennings of
the Tigers apparently forgot he was a
representative Of the owners OF the
club and not of the players. johnson
also remarked sarcastlcally upon the
name in which Jennings lauded his
players and apparently failed to cen
sure them for striking.
Mack and Jennings at OfIs.
In some semiofficial quarters John
son is being quoted as declaring that n
baseball manager unable to handle a
crisis with moro tact than the Detroit
situation has been handled would be
much better off as a player.
1t was learned that Saturday was
the first time Mack and Jennings had
exchanged a word except on strict
business since Jennings was the nd
wiser of the Giants In the last worlds
series. During that series Jennings
was given the credit of telling Nc
Graw of the Giants that Home Run"
Baker was a yellow. With this infor-
nation the Giants were charged with
getting after Bakers goat

'DoYOuKnOW Mr.. BroWn?'

A young woman visitor was idly
summing herself on the porch of the
Washington Country Club the other
afternoon while her hostess for the
day was batting a golf ball around
the links. A young man approached
with the hesitant air of q stranger.
He tinidly inquired Of the young
woman II she knew Mr.. Brown. She
did not. But soon her hostess came
up. The inquiring young man had
seated himself near by.
Mary, do you known Mr.. Brown?',
asked the girl visitor.
Charmed to meet you, Mr..
Brown" smiled Mary at the strange
youth, who blushed and avefred he
was not Mr.. Brown, but looking for
some one of that name. Then silence
again reigned on the piazza.
A club member named John Scott
now came up.
John" asked the girl who had
made the error, do you know Mr..
Brown"
GLADE to meet you." exclaimed
Scott, advancing on the stranger
with outstretched right hand.
The stranger fed the scene.

COLONEL RoosEvELTs MESSAGE TO
HIS PARTY.

II matters little about me, but il matters
all about the cause ne fight for. II one
soldier who happens to carry the flag Is
stricken, another will take II from his hands
and carry on One after another the
standdrd-bedrers may be latd low, but the
standard itself can never fall.
There is not on the political field today, nor has
there been for years. man so capable Of attracting
support to himself by his own activities as is Mr..
Roosevelt. His enforced withdrawal from the cam
paign just as the climax is being reached may be q
very serious blow.
Whether 1t proves such or not depends upon
whether his place can be filled. No one man could
FIJI it. The leaders Of the . cannot iii it. The
great rank and file Of the progressive movement
can; and it is upon them that the duty Of filing it
falls.
He lies in the hospital. Messages Of sympathy
are pouring in upon him. But the message that he
would most like to near and which would most has
ten his recovery would be the news that the burden
ne has carried has been distributed; that every
OF his supporters has set himself to the task Of gain
ing converts to the cause this leader has so much
at heart.
Rarely has there been a campaign in which per-
sonal, private endeavor counted for so much as il
can in this one. Let the highest and the owlest
Of Progressives unite to carry the work on in the
open and in the home; and not only will Mr.. Roose-
velt be compensated for his suffering but the cause
will gain glorious victory three weeks hence
Every person who favors Mr.. Roosevelt; every
person who favors the Progressive platform; every
person who favors the humanization Of the United
States Government now owes it to his leader, his
party, and himself to set to work with redoubled
energy to make that victory secure.

THE BATTLE GOES ON.

From the hospital cot Of the Progressive leader,
in reply to the offer Of his rival for the Presidency
there comes the only answer that Theodore Roose-
welt could give.
The wounded Progressive captain gathers all his
strength to say, as we were sure he would say, mo
truce!"
Though he were on his deathbed, the last words
Of Theodore Roosevelt would be this battle-cry
I'VE emphatcaly demand that the discussion be
carried on precisely as if had not been shot. |
shall be sorry If Mr.. Wilson does not keep on the
stump and feel that he owes it to himself and the
American people to keep on the stump" For this
is not contest about any man; it is contest con-
cernng principles"
To spend for the cause to be spent for the cause,
to count his life nothing to the principles involved
in the struggle, this surely is the Progressive lead
er's indomitabe spirit all men proclaim. Must
it not be truly great cause which can command
such devotion?

WHY NOT TRY MUTTON?

While Secretary Wilson's plea on behalf Of
mutton does not excuse the oppressive conditions
surrounding beef at the same time it calls attention
to meat that is strangely sighted in this country.
Americans favor lamb and beef Many families
apparently consume no other meat or IL they do
vary their bill Of fare they demand anything but the
meat of the sheep. It is different in England, and
this may have something to do with the compar-
atively low price of beef in London. 1t does not
affect the exorbitant results of a high meat tariff
such as Americans are enduring but it illustrates
the advantage of more varied diet There is no
question about the nutritious quality of mutton but
in spite of this, also in spite Of economic attractions,
Americans are slow to cultivate taste for it,
Certainly IL they will have beef they must con-
tinue definitely to pay fancy price for it.

PORFIRIO DIAZ AND THE MEXICAN
SITUATION.

Dispatches Of this date declare that Porfrio Daz
is financing the newest revolution in Mexico;
luton, by the way, which in military way is appar-
emily more formidable than either that of Madero in
a corresponding stage Of its progress or the more
recent one of Orozco, which for time menaced the
Madero government most gravely.
Porfrio Diaz will never come back to Mexico
to take a personal part in any attempted reorganza-
ton Of the government. He is old and broken man.
But he is keenly interested in Mexico, and rightly
or wrongly, is as confident as ever that his own
theory of developing the country is the correct
His nephew, Felix Diaz, is a young man Of real
ability, apparently with the backing Of the Cientco
element The fashion in which Vera Cruz went over
to him, troops, gunboats and all, indicated clearly
that the campaign had been carefully prepared in
advance.
Without much doubt, a new Diaz will be the
agent of the old family and the instrument Of the
elements that have come to desire return to the
Iron-hand methods which seem, after, all, to have
been the only that could maintain order in the
country. II Porfrio Diaz, Of great wealth, is
behind Felix Diaz, it assures strong support from
the wealthy and conservative elements, and may
very possibly mark the end Of the Maderst regime
in short order.
Francisco Madero is man whose high ideals
and sincerely patriotic purposes deserved better sue.
for his efforts in behalf of his country He is
too much an idealist, perhaps bit too young and
untried Of practical things, quite to realize what
Mexico needs.

THE TAFT CLAIMS DEPARTMENT.

Some remarkable things are set forth in the
literature the Taft committee is circulating; things
that can inspire only amusement when contemplated
by people familiar with the facts back of them.
In an advertisement widely circulated over the
signatures of Chairman Hilles and Secretary Rey-
nolds, Of the Taft committee, this paragraph is pre-
ented:
"A lot Of money used to be needed every year to
pay the shortage in the Postofice Department. But
since Mr. Taft has been President HE has made the
Postoeice Department self-sustaning FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUN-
TRY"
In this excerpt the words that here are capital
lied we're italicized in the committees advertise
ment. "HE has made the Postoffce Department self
sustaining!" 1t would be interesting to know how
HE did it. HE has had about as much to do with
the active administration of any Government depart
ment as he would have had If ne had remained on
the circuit bench.
Yet this is typical of the claims department of
the Administration. 1t has claimed about everything
that was accomplished by Roosevelt, and it has at
tempted to make the public believe that reactonary
and vicious measures accomplished on the sole re-
sponsibily Of the present Administration were pro-
gressve and useful. II is not going down with the
country; it will not.
Another paragraph in this same advertisement
says that "Wu Tingfang, the great Chinese states
man, says that Taft did more than any other one
man to help create the republic of China"
Yes, indeed! Then why the long, unaccountable,
and inexcusable delay in recognizing, before the
world, that the greatest republic acknowledges the
newest and biggest republic, and welcomes it to the
family of progressive governmentsp
The Washington times., 1912-10-19
WHAT REGULATED MONOPOLY MEANS.

Because the Federal Government does exercise
the right to regulate railroads, fix their rates, and
otherwise administer their affairs, it is called upon
to review the treatment of railway employees, the
wages they receive, the hours they work, the number
Of men necessary to handle adequately the business
Of the railroads.
If the railroads were not regulated by the Federal
Government this would not be necessary 1t would
then be none Of the Governments business what
treatment or wages the railroads gave their en-
ployes, or how many employees they had.
So instead of regulated monopoly meaning en-.
slavement for laboring men, as Candidate Wilson
claims, regulated monopoly means greater justice
and larger freedom for laboring men.
Regulated monopoly means that its relations not
only with the consumer must be subject to SUPER
vision by the Government, but its relations with its
employees must also be supervised.

found by the experts in such mat
ters. Calendars and bulletins of
daily reference use are impaled upon
these salmon walls with push pins.
These push pins, however, are no
common or garden variety of glass
headed near spike. They, too, are
salmon tinted, a perfect match. So
perfect in fact. that there is a grow
ing suspicion that their purchase
was never made by a man. Mr..
Suter is .non-committal on the sub
ject. He says that he does not
know who purchased them, that they
were furnished by the department.

IMPROVING COURT METHODS.

The quality OF court procedure in capital cases
seems to be improving. A few years ago the Thaw
case dragged its Shiny length for months through
court records before a final verdict was reached In
the Becker on trial there is swftness with
out unfairness sensationalism. Both prosecution
and defense are being held to the case in hand and
speedy justice seems assured.
The trial judge has sturdily set up his judicial
powers to end the usual travestes on justice which
have been furnished by conspicuous murder trials
Now he has set up his authority with equal strength
against the risk of shocking miscarriage of justice
through letting in proof tnat Lieutenant Becker
accumulated fortune in few months on small
salary.
District Attorney Whitman firmly believes that
the bank accounts piled up by Becker while in COM
mand of the Strong Arm Squad" were properly
part of the evidence that Becker procured the mur-
der Of Herman Rosenthal.
Those bank accounts, and the amounts Becker
hoped to add to them if his power were not taken
from him by the impending confession Of Rosenthal,
furnished some of the motive for the murder Of the
squealer by Becker if the case of the people is
sound.
Justice Golf forbids the admission Of the Becker
bank accounts because he doubts that they are ad-
missible under the rigid rules Of evidence which
hairsptng court Of appeals is in the habit of en-
forcing.
If Becker is guilty of this horrifying crime the
public should pray that the verdict Of guilty may
not be overthrown on any Quibble. Justice Gof,
