The Pooh-Bah Of Seattle.

If some of our city Mayors would
try to live up to the Constitution, in
stead of attempting to supersede it
and become and act panic-stricken, our
government, which is one of law,
would prevent occurrences such as the
recent outbreaks at Paterson or
Seattle.
1t seems strange that the practice of
these Mayors should have been to lose
their heads instead, and to defend"
our Constitution by forgetting that there
is one and sending everybody-right
or wrong-to jail. The Mayor of Pat
erson did this, and his colleague at
Seattle followed suit, only that the
latter added a twist to it that was as
novel as it was travesty on justice.
Instead of denying the right of free
speech to the members of the Indus
trial Workers of the World q w.
W., which was done at Paterson in
its zeal to uphold the Constitution, and
which to some so-called friends of law
and order seems the proper thing to
do, the Mayor of Seattle denied the
right of free speech to the critics of
the /. w. W., an equally high-handed
proceeding which will strike no friends
of law and order as correct. The panic
stricken Mayor declared a sort of mar
tial law of his own, superseded the
Constitution Gust as was done at
Paterson), substituted autocracy for
legal authority, ordered the suppress
sion of newspaper, and the closing
of the saloons, but just then, fortu-
nately. the courts stepped in and end
ed Pooh-Bahism by declaring that this
was a government of laws, which were
regulated by the Constitution.

THE OPEN FORUM


To the Editor: Why is the press ad
vertising Secretary Daniels as in the
position of explaining his speech In
Seattle, Wash? Is 1t needt1il that any
patriotic American, whether public
servant or private citizen should Tex
plain or seem TO apologize for denourc-
ing Socialism? Socialism. the greatest
blot OF this great and noble country.
which tolera tess with broad mindedness all
free speech and free thinking. and even
then puts the daily bread in the mouths
OF those discontinued aliens who have
sought shelter under its federation when
their own countries have elected them
as undesirables!
Is there, can there be any "explana.
ton or apology for true patriotism;
Defense of those principles Of our Con-
stitution and our faith in God as en-
blematic in our beautiful flag, above the
red flag of Socialism and anarchisn.

Debs for President; that party which Is

Surely any and every true American,

duty Of denouncing at all times and at

mon rebellion, for the United States to
join England and France to ask those
leaders to compose their differences,
but Buchanan's administration expressed
its disapproyal This government also
declined to admit European participa-
ton in its dealings with Cuba and re-
fused similar action in Colombia and
on the Isthmus of Panama.
To admit the British government
into joint Intervention would establish
a precedent under which it would be
difficult to exclude other European
powers from a like intrusion into
American affairs. If we mean to up
hold the Monroe doctrine, let us do il,
but not by halves. Would England
have welcomed an offer of joint action
or even of assistance from the United
States in the Transvaal or any other
difficulty?
What this government, however,
should do is to act jointly, in the case
of Mexico, with the South American
powers, precisely as it did some years
ago with Mexico, in giving moral
countenance to the Central American
states. The settlement of purely
American affairs is work for Amer
lean and not for European powers,
if the Monroe doctrine is worth the
paper it is written on!

Canada and Our Factories.

We absolutely agree with the opin
ion expressed by the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph that this move
ment of our manufacturing plants te
Canada in such numbers is becoming
too serious to be treated with in
difference or to be put aside by the
sneers of free trade or reduced tariff
advocates" a
Last year American manufacturers
shipped to Canada almost a million
dollars worth of goods a day. Or
these they had to pay duty. IT manu-
featured in Canada, these goods could
not only be sold there free of duty, but
they could be made cheaper and sold
in this country to advantage under the
proposed lower duties.
This is not all. In Canada the tariff
i not likely to change with a new ad-
ministration. Such changes there are
not directed by politics, but by bust
ness onditions-hence they are infre-
ouent. Another thing of advantage
to the Canadian manufacturer when
shipping his products to England or
British possessions is that he gets a
preference of some 30 per cent over
goods shipped from the United States.
These are the arguments used by
Canadians to entice our manufacture
ers over the border. They want all
the big establishments they can get,
while in this country the dominant po-
Itical party. by its tariif policy, is en-
couraging the movement The declara-
ton of Gov. Foss of Massachusetts, to
take his big plant to Canada is OF es-
pecial significance because he is very
prominent figure among his party-the
Democratic-which drives him out OF
his native country. Though a Demo-
crat he foresees disaster in the pending
tariff legislation. He is one who by
virtue of his high station got publicity;
but there are many others who are
going over unnoticed, because they are
not in the public eye.
We do not wish to be misunderstood.
This sad spectacle, to us, is not
question of politics. 1t is one of eco
nomic legislation alone, as applicable
to business and to the industrial con-
dition and future of our country.

Another Sacrifice Of Workmen's Lives.

spite all the safety laws enacted there

ing people than could have gotten out
quickly by the existing exits in the
Binghamton fire as that which caused
the great loss of life at the time of
the New York disaster. According to
survivors the stairs and fire escapes
were "packed"-a tangled mass of
ruin.
Let US hope that the safety laws
passed since the New York holocaust
but evidently not enforced-may lead
at least to the swift punishment of
those who are responsible for the many
deaths in tuesdays big fire. They de-
serve to be punished. The owners OF
that shirt-waist concern in New York,
who crowded their working girls into
unsafe quarters, escaped scot free. But
it is becoming more evident every day
that there is a necessity of making
an example of some employers whose
greed results in the sacrifice of their
employees lives.
What happened at Binghamton is
likely to happen anywhere. Conditions
still fall far short of safety. 1t ap-
pears that the lesson of that terrible
New York confagration was only half
learned.

Work for American, Not for European
Powers,

We understand that the government
of Great Britain has made, or contem-
plates making, an offer of cooperation
with the United States in the consti-
tutional rehabilitation of Mexico. We
also take it for granted that its inten-
tons are absolutely friendly. And,
finally, We know that Great Britain has
vast interests in Mexico to guard, and,
besides, it has one of its valuable COL
onies directly abutting upon Mexico.
But despite all this, the offer should
De declined, primarily because it is con-
trary to the long -established policy of
this country to enter into such ar
rangements with European nation or
to sanction any degree of European in
