Mexican Manifestations.

There IL nothing especially alarming in
the reports Of q spread of warlike feel
ing in Mexico. the alleged clamors Of the
people for a chance to strike at the
hated "gringoes." the proffer of services
to Provisional President Huerta described
in the dispatches from Mexico City. and
other apparent tokens of militancy against
the United States south of the border.
For these manifestations of q lingo spirit
in Mexico do not affect the present
status between the two governments The
exodus Of Americans from the troubled
country continues. without panic and
with no present indications of disaster call
ing for the Intervention directly limited
at in the official warnings sent out to
representatives Of the State Department
in Mexico. The negotiations are at a
standstill. II resumed, these negotia-
lions must lead to an Improvement In the
situation rather than to anything to the
contrary. In other words, we have every
thing to gain from a reopening Of the
dealings between Mr.. Lind and Senior
Gamboa, and nothing to lose. So that
short Of direct outbreak Of Mexican
resentment upon American citizens. call
ing for active Intervention in reprisal,
these activities in Mexico which are de-
scribed in the dispatches must be taken
as merely of political character not af-
fecting the immediate chances of peaceful
settlement. They may, 1t Is true. stiffen
Huerta in his refusal to heed the Ameri-
can proposals. but seemingly he is In no
present need Of such encouragement, be-
Ing already stout In his resistance OF

clever avoidance OF the constitution, which

Labor's Most Important Task.

Labor's day, established by law, is eel
ebrated throughout the country today.
II is day OF more than relaxation from
work, for 1t has acquired an institutional
character significant Of the endeavors Of
the workers to raise themselves to a
plane Of effective citizenship. to become
a factor in the management of the affairs
of city, state and nation. This Is not
however, indicative of purpose to trans
form the labor organizations Of the coun-
try into political forces. The day turns
national attention upon the immense in
fuence which those who work with their
hands exert upon the fortunes of the peo-
pie collectively.
Just at this time there is more i'm
portant problem within the range OF
labor's effective attack than that offered
by the organization known as the Indus
trial Workers Of the World, comprising
an unknown number of disconnected ele-
ments. headed by radicals of the most
unsafe type intent upon establishing a
new doctrine of collective ownership and
management. They are the worst foes
that honest workingmen have before
them today. creating prejudice every
where against trades unionism. seeming
to align the multitude Of toilers against
the law, whereas in fact the body Of
American workers today must be rated as
strictly law-abiding and as contributive
in a most wholesome manner to the con-
duct of our affairs in accord with the
principles Of equity and order.
1t behooves every organization of work
ingmen today to go upon record. wher-
ever opportunity is afforded, as hostile to
-
irrespective of the particular form Of the
organization or its specific title. Great
strides have been taken by the american
workingmen toward independence of posi-
ton. Remarkable wage advances have
been secured through cooperation and
union. Conditions of working have been
immensely bettered. Strikes have occur
red, through unfortunate circumstances,
and here and there as a result of bad
advice and leadership and the lack of
effective means of adjusting disputes
without suspension Of work. But the
general tendency of organized labor has
been in the direction Of peace and pros
perity, and it is of vital consequence that
the good opinion of the country, won by
the workers through adherence to the
doctrine of cooperation with the employ
ing class, should not be destroyed by the
unchallenged actions of group of agita-
tors Who, having nothing at stake save
their own personal liberty. are now bust
~ at work seducing workingmen from
their true allegiance to join an organiza-
ton which is certain to lead to incessant
turmoil and ultimate loss of much that is
substantially of benefit to the laboring'
classes of America.

War,

Secretary Garrison declares that the
United States is not prepared for war
Chairman Hay Of the House military
committee declares that It is. And there
you are
II not sooner, certainly at the regular
session Of Congress these two eminent
authorities will again clash. Secretary
Garrison will deal with the subject ir
his annual report, and Chairman Hay
will have occasion to deal with the re-
port.
Until recently, Mr. Garrison was a law
yer in practice in New Jersey. It was
the success Of the democratic party last
year that brought him into national life
He had espoused the cause of Mr.. Will
son, and was remembered when the lat
ter in March came into his kingdom
Had Mr.. Wilson been defeated, Mr.. Gar
rison would not have been called to pre-
side over the War Department.
Mr.. Hay, too, was bred to the bar.
His equipment Is in that line. But hav-
ing developed taste for politics, he
sought and obtained Office. He has been
a member of Congress for sixteen years.
and Of the military committee the great
er part of the time.
In point Of fact, then, here are two
lawyers, neither Of whom has ever stud
led the art OF war, or seen a days serv-
ice as a soldier. in positions of great in
fuence and Importance as respects army
matters at a time when there are ru-
mors Of wars, and a war may come.
Are we prepared il war should come!
The two lawyers differ. and we must all
take sides.
Mr.. Hay has one advantage. He has
been talking with soldiers about war and
its equipment longer than MIR. Garrison.
He has sixteen years to set against Mr..
Garrison's six months. In the matter OF
talk and conferences he is a veteran.
He has heard SO many descriptions Of
how to set a brigade in the field he
could probably almost do the thing him.
self.
But Mr.. Garrison, although but raw
recruit, has been in capable hands since
enlistment, and. being a bright man,
must have learned much. For weeks
he has been visiting army posts, and
breathing the atmosphere of the barracks
and the parade ground. What he has
just proclaimed, therefore, must repre-
sent his inspection of our army estab-
lishment.
All should welcome the debate. The
subject Is not political, or sectional. When
man, for Uncle Sam, and should fit him
for action with all the men and money
he needs.

A Nyless City.
From the Cleveland Leader.


Cleveland is being hailed far and
wide as the "fyless town." Cities that
could not see anything serious in
'.swatting the fly" are looking this way
with envy. Others. like Boston and
Washington. which did not begin the
crusade early enough in the season.
are being encouraged to make better
start next year. OF course. Cleveland is
not hyless. But during the present
summer 1t has suffered less from this
dangerous little pest than ever before.
Indeed, the contrast is most striking.
Where flies formerly swarmed in
homes. Offices, shops. stores and res
taurants. today but few can be seen.
The restaurants and places In which
food is exposed for sale are guarded
with special care. for the public has
learned to shun those where there Is
laxity in this respect. And now comes
the health officer with the statement
that Cleveland is freer from contagious
and communicable diseases than ever
befoHe In its history.
