Jailbnds Marching on Washington.

All doubt as the character of the visitors which
Washington will be forced to entertain when Coxeys
army arrives was dispeIled at Masson, Ohio, yes
terday when the army began its march.
dispatch from that city reads: From shanties
along the railroad tracks outside the city limits from
the Socialist Hall and from the city prison the men
gathered Police authorities released all Migrants

the army" No doubt other towns along the route

in the march to Washington truly cheerful pros
pect for the people of this city.
Immediate steps should be taken by the District
authorities to prevent far as possible a continual
ton of such unwarranted and reprehensibe action
should not tamey submit to having the Capital made
dumping ground for the undesrables of other cities
The oncoming host OF hoboes should be warned
in advance that a colder welcome awaits them here
than that accorded TO CoNeys first army twenty
years ago If this does not result in materially re-
be given authority swear in as many extra police
men as are necessary, have them meet the army at
the District line and drive them back Meantime
pressure should be brought bear the authorities
of towns along the route of the army not only to
keep their criminals locked up, but to recruit
their jals from the army's ranks wherever there is
provocation.

the problem much easier to handle later on.

and the lesson will not be lost on the rest of the
precious tribe of arrogant cutthroats. Mexican fed
erasts constitutiona1ists bandits, whatever they
choose style themselves, have been ardily taught
the respect due superior nation which has invited
insults and indgnties by long permitting murder
and outrage along its border. Let hope, too that
we have made some progress toward retrieving our
fading prestige with nations OF our class
1t would be a deplorable mistake to order the feet
to back The sight of it will complete the lesson
the Mexicans have to learn Then let us be watchfu

committed The bodies OF murdered citizens of the
United States and other countries should be recovered

Tolls Victory Doubly Assured.

| While President Wilson had already won his hight
for the repeal of canal tolls exemption the Mexican
incident as may now safely be caracerized cannot
fail to increase the Senstes majority for repeal II
the vote had been taken yesterday before the news
came of Huerta's backdown, the recognition OF
patriotic duty of giving the Presidents policies unre
served support while he dealing with an entanse-
ment with foreign power would have given repeal
an overwhelming majority Even as, the situation
stands today. the attending the Presidents
wisdom and rTnness in handling the Mexican problem
must have him permanent support in his efforts
to safeguard the nations reputation for fair-deang
with foreign powers which are its friends
Incidentally, those opponents of repeal who ven
ured the misunderstanding not believing it them
selves-that President Wilson had used Mexico to
gain votes for his tolls policy put to the blush.
The feet movement was not timed correctly for that,
and besides it was Admiral Mayo who precipitated
action
The tolls fight was won on its merits. One by one
the arguments of the exemptionists have been shat
tered There is not one left. The finishing stroke
the almost unanimous sentiment expressed by
delegates the Baltimore convention, putting their
candidates needs and urgent appeal ahead of one
plank in their platform approving policy which is
expressly forbidden in another plank.
With the Surrender to Great Britain" ghost ex-
posed and the sacred platform wall stiied; with
the highest testimony showing that the treaty forbids
and was intended to forbid the exemption, though
this is conceded in the repeal BILL and with the
plain prohibition in the Baltimore platform of the
exemption subsidy emphasized, it is difficult to imagine
what arguments the Senate exemption orators can
invent. Quite likely speeches have been prepared
which will never be delivered.
And in the meantime all reliable information coming

in favor of the Presidents policy while frequent
exposures of attempts manufacture sentiment in
opposition being made. Evidence in black and
white OF this campaign of Misrepresentation was
given TO the Senate on Wednesday by Senator Kern,
of Indiana who read telegram from newspaper
to its correspondents ordering them to exert their
efforts to expressions condemning the Presi
dents course.
Such methods adopted to bolster up tottering
wrong must necessarily fail, and it is right that they
should.
