THE REAL ISSUE.
By Mary /. Geffs.

ny Mai IL ''li9'
What is the real, bedrock issue of
this campaign?
The working men who arose at the
back of an audience being addressed by
William Howard Taft four years ago
and asked "What is a working man to
do when out of employment and stray
mg?" stated the issue.
He stated it fairly and squarely and
put it mp to the candidate for president
in a way it had never been put up to
a candidate on a capitalist ticket before
There was no lodging it, and the vast
audience and the starving man awaited
the candidates answer. They say the
perpetual smile faded and the candi-
dates face took ON an expression Of
seriousness as he gave the only answer
he could give, and the one that should
never be forgotten by the class to whom
given. He said, God knows!'
An apology would be due the public
for springing this ancient story at this
time but for the fact that it is not
among the things ancient that are past
and gone. 1t is the living soul of the
issue of this campaign and it is press
ling for am answer today with even
greater force than four years ago
It should be the slogan Of the socialist
party in this campaign. since tine so.

Massachusetts, Mill Owner Was
Subpenaed Regarding Law

ARE ACCUSED
Alleged Plot to Discredit Unions
Investigated by Boston
Prosecutor.

Boston, August 2S.-Intcrest in the
investigation of an alleged conspiracy by
mill officials to sccrete dynamite in
Lawrence during the general strike
there last winter centered today in the
report of the Suffolk county grand jury
which is expected in a, short time. Dis
trict Attorney Pellettier today ques
toned many witnesses, among whom
were several mill officials.
Opinions differ as to whether the in
vestigaton influenced Ernest w. Pitman
of Andover, a prominent contractor, to
kill himself yesterday Pitman erected
two of the large mills in Lawrence, and
was questioned recently by Pellettier re-
garding any knowledge he might have
had of the distribution of dynamite in
that city. He was to have been wit
ness before the grand jury.
The investigation by the grand jury
was based on allegations that dynamite
was purchased in br near Boston, and
sent to Lawrence for distribution in GER
tain places. 1t has been further alleged
that an attempt was made to lead the
public to believe that the explosive was
to be used by the strikers to damage
mill property and thus cast odium upon
the unions.
Pitman was given the third degree"
by Pellettier and then subpenaed. He
went home and shot and killed himself,
although his baggage, packed for a long
European trip, was on a ship. Pelletier
admits Pitman's disclosures were sensa-
tional. The district attorney says mill
men have been implicated in the dyna-
mite planting"
John j. Breen, former school commits
sioner of Lawrence, was fined $500 for
planting" the dynamite. In court he
refused to testify.
Since then Pellettier has been working
on the case. Already he has examined
before the grand jury Postmaster Louis
S. Cox of Lawrence, liver Sjostrom, treas
urer of the United States Worsted Co.;
George Kunhardt of the Kunhardt mills
and Charles Walker, treasurer of the
Atlantic mills.

The Los Angeles Examiner says
that between $15.OOO,OOO and $780,
O00, 900 is a safe estimate of the
total expenditure in Los Angeles
during the year ended June 3Oth by
visitors from elsewhere. This esti-
mate does not include expenditures
by those who came, during the year,
to make Los Angeles their permanent
home. The minimum of SIS, ,000.-
600 may be quoted by the most con-
servative and truth-loving of our
citizens without endangering his
accuracy. The general correctness
of the estimate is supported by the

The American government has
a far more tangible reason for in
tervening in Mexico than it had in
Cuba. This is not a matter of a
mere annoying disturbance along
our border. 1t is matter of the
protection of American lives. Our
intervention need not be for the
restoration Of order in Mexico but

the combatants that the rights of
American citizens, legally acquired
must be respected even in time of
war.

it must have stamped upon the
bale the correct weight of the bale.
There is an allowance, however,
made in the weight of hay accord
ing to age. Three per cent shrink
age is allowed for hay six months
old and five per cent for over six
months. By thisit can be seen that
hay sold in Arizona must carry with
it certificate as to its age, just the
same as a loaf of bread.
Fresh meat must be sold by
weight and must have a delivery
ticket accompanying the delivery of
the sale. The sale of fish comes
also under these provisions. Butter
must be sold by weight and when
sold in packages or cartons the pack
age must have printed upon it the
pounds and ounces or fractions
thereof in avoirdupois weight. A
srinkage of 2 and % per cent is al
lowed on all such packages and car
tons. Coffee and tea when sold in
cans or packages must also have the
net weight of the tea printed upon
the package.
Where any commodity such as
-four, rice, beans, barley, bran, corn,
potatoes, onions, seed, ham or bacon
is sold in bags or containers of any
kind each bag or container must
have the net weight of the commod-
ity stamped or printed or plainly
marked upon the package. The
provisions for the sale of lard are
equally strict. The net weight of
lard sold in the can or container
must be plainly marked thereon.
In the sale of vinegar or sweet
oil the bottle or can must be plain
ly marked, giving the amount Of
fered for sale.
The sale of soda crackers or dried
fruit. when sold in boxes or other
containers, must have the net weight
of the article plainly marked on the
package.
The penalties provided in the bill
for any violation thereof are from
$500 to $3.50.

THE TIME HAS COME TO
ACT

The same sentiment with respect
to the outrages heaped upon Ameri-
cans in Mexico, as expressed in the
resolutions adopted by the mass
meeting held in Stafford last Sunday
night, seems to be rapidly spreading
over the country. Regarding the
situation the Arizona Republican
says:
There is a general and increas-
ing belief that this country should
undertake vigorously to protect
American citizens in Mexico. 1t
does not matter whether it is done
by formal intervention or by
the simple process Of sending ia
to Mexico sufficient force of
American troops to protect Ameri-
can property and lives at such points
rs the Mormon colonists, where
there were large groups of persons
and property.
1t is not to be expected that
every American and every American
interest could be given immediate
protection. A dispatch from Wash
y i
ington on Thursday night stated,
Everything short of Intervention
has been DONE" 1t may be peril

ually accomplished? What has

notified that he had been renomina.
ted for president, in his reply to the
speech of notification Mr.. Taft said
regarding Mexico:
Our Mexican neighbor on the
south has been disturbed by two
revolutions and these have necessar-
lily brought strain upon our rela-
tions because of the losses sustained
by American citizens, both in prop
erty and in life, due to the lawless-
ness which could not be prevented
under conditions of civil war.
The pressure for intervention
at times has been great, and grounds
upon which, it is said, we might
have intervened have been urged
upon us, but this administration has
b. en- conscious that one hostile step
in Intervention and the passing of the
border by one regiment of troops
would mean war with Mexico, the
expenditure of hundreds of millions
of dollars, the loss of thousands Of
lives in the tranquilization of that
country, with all the subsequent
problems that would arise as to it's
disposition after we found ourselves
in complete armed possession.
THE TAFT IDEA
In order to avoid the plain con-
sequences, it seemed the course of
patriotism and of wisdom to SUBJ
ject ourselves and our citizens to
some degree of suffering and incon-
venience and to pass over with only
a protest and a claim for damages
even those injuries inflicted on our
peaceful citizens in our own territory
along the border by flying bullets in
engagements between the govern
ment and the revolutionary forces
on the Mexican side.
1t is easy to arouse popular indig-
nation over an instance of this char
acter. 1t is easy to take advantage
of it for the purpose of justifying
aggressive action, and it is easy to
cultivate political support and pop
ularity by warike truculent policy,
but with the familiarity that we
have had in the CARRYING on of such
war in the Philippines and in Cuba,
no one with sense of responsibility
to the American people would in
volve them in the almost unending
burden and thankless task of en-
forcing peace upon these $4,000, 900
of people fighting among them
selves, when they would necessarily
all turn against us at the first mani
festation of our purpose to inter-
vene. am very sure that the
course Of self restraint that the ad-
ministration has pursued in respect
to Mexico will vindicate itself in the
pages of history.
HOPES MADERo is WINNING
II am hopeful that the present
government is now rapidly subduing
the insurrecGon and that we may
look for tranquility near at hand.
The demonstration of force which
felt compelled to make in The early
part of the disturbance by the mobi-
lization of some $1,000 or 10000
troops in Texas, and holding maneu.

effect and, as our ambassador and
