Theodore Roosevelt has announced
that the people of Pennsylvania must
vote for Clifford Pinchot and defeat
BOies Penrose, who was nominated
for senator in the direct primary in
Pennsylvania. We confess we do not
have the greatest respect for Senator
Penrose but wonder why the voice
of the people" in a primary should
not stand when it is against Mr..
Roosevelt's man as we'll as when it
is for him.

public statements. He insists first,
as always, on the elimination of
Huerta from the Mexican govern
ment and the settlement of the land
dispute in Mexico in a way that will
give a more equitable distribution
of it and prevent it's exploitation by
foreign investors and Adventures.
In the meantime he has opened the
port of Tampico for the importation
of arms for the insurgents and is
allowing them every facility for
crushing the Huerta government and
seizing Mexico City.
The rebels sent no representative
to the peace conference and have re-
fused to be bound in any way by
its findings. They continue war and
the execution Of prisoners and other
inhuman practices. While it is prob
ably true there can be no lasting
peace in Mexico under the present
system of land monopoly it would
seem as though the president by en-
couraging rebel conquest of the coun-
try is making the terms of peace he
demands entirely impossible. If the
rebels succeed in destroying the
Huerta government it can in no way
fulfil any pledges it may make at
the peace convention. If the rebels
get into full power they will not be
bound by any agreements made at
the peace convention and will be at
liberty to conduct the internal affairs
of Mexico as they please.
For these reasons we see little
hope of anything more than a cessa-
ton of active warfare between the
Huerta government and the United
States and a possible decision by
the mediators that United States has
no right to maintain a force on Next
can soil. That will be but a small
part of what Pres. Wilson demands
shall be done and disgraceful de-
feat of the United States in Mexico.
We fail to grasp the wisdom of
the president in this matter. He has
pertinaciously held that Huerta can
not be left in control of Mexico be-
cause he secured his position through
and murder but he has
given every encouragement to Villa
to murder, contiscate and destroy
for the purpose of gaining ascend
ancy in Mexican affairs. Evidently
he has agreed to mediate with Huerta
but is doing everything possible to
put the control of internal and for
eign affairs of Mexico into other
hands than those with whom he is
trying to effect an agreement. Such
dealings may make for permanent
peace honor of the United States but
we fail to see it.
We believe the only justification
for the United States in Mexico is
10 bring an immediate stop to the
rebellion in progress there and. to
give the people of that country a fair
to select their own gov
ernment Then negotiations could
be opened with that government for
he solution of the land problem and
he protection of the submerged
30 per cent of the people of that
republic"

Some papers suggest that abolish

We give space TO a letter from
John w. Gordon of Barre in which
he expresses the opinion that news
papers should give all the ideas of
candidates for public Office as a gift.
Evidently Mr.. Gordon has never had
the active management of a news
paper and does not know the vast
amount of ideas political candidates
ask to have published at the expense
of the management. His own alb
stract he refers to was over four col
umns and it was impossible to print
that amount of material without a
large amount of extra time on the
part of the employees and they GER
tainly had all they ought to do with
out that This extra time would
have cost the Office quite large
sum of money and we feel that we
owe Mr.. Gordon or no Their candi-
date any such sum. The Caledon-
ian will give the political news so
far as it is able and express its Opin-
ions in the editorial columns with
out charge to any one. But if any
candidate wants to exploit his ideas
and advertise his virtues we shall
uniformly charge fifty cents an inch
for reading matter and thirty-five
cents an inch for display advertising.
This we think is fair to the candidate
and the paper.

MINNESOTA MINIMUM
WAGE ACT INVALID
Judge Declares Law Would Be
Immoral in Actual Working.

st. Paul, Nov. 24.-Court orders
were issued by Judge Frederick Cat
lin of the Ramsey county district
court to restrain State Auditor Sam
uel G. Iverson and members of the
minimum wage commission from ex-
pending further money of the state in
the work of the commission. Judge
Catlin's order suspends the commits
sions order fixing minimum wage
for women.
Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith
announced that the decision will be
appealed to the supreme court.
Judge Catlin in his decision said
there is no necessity for the minimum
wage law to protect the safety, health
or morals of women and children
workers. "The actual working of the
law would be apt to increase i'm
morality if morals are dependent upon
wages he says.
The law was held to be unconstitu-
tional by Judge Catlin on the ground
that it delegated legislative power to
in that commission a discretion as to
whether there should be a minimum
wage.
The second constitutional ground on
which Judge Catlin based his decision
is the abridgment of the right of in
dividual to contract The law inter-
feres with both the employe and the
employer, according to the court.

Germany that England and France

The paper says Germany thus far

attitude despite 'the fragrant viola.

and adds:
"The imperial German government
considers it of interest to learn what
position the neutral powers intend to
take toward the attitude adopted by
Great Britain and France contrary to
international law"
The German note declares that ad.

Britain has made to the declaration OF
London ARE of such a nature that

General Agui|af Praises Amer.
lean Methods.

Vera Cruz, Nov. 24.-The Mexican
flag is again flying over Vera Cruz
Brigadier General Funston and his
command of 5000 infantrymen and
marines, which was landed here April
80, got under way and General Can
dido Aguilar's men assumed charge OF
the city. The United States transport
Christobal, bearing the first con
tingent of the American brigade, left
the dock bound for home.
The evacuation of the city was eff
fected without any clash occurring be-
tween the Americans and the native
army. The Mexicans marched in on
the heels of the departing troops, but
no serious disturbance of the citys
peace was registered during their en-.
trance.
Residents of Vera Cruz who had
heard of threats made by followers of
General Villa and others opposed to
General Carranza that they would re-
sist the occupation of the city by
Aguilar's troops breathed more freely
as the Carranza soldiers moved nearer
and nearer to the center of the city.
General Carranza was quoted by
representatives here as being dis
pleased with the method used by the
Americans in delivering over the city
and as having criticized sharply the
failure to make a formal transfer of
the various departments.
Aguilar Raises Mexican Flag.
General Aguilar personally raised
the Mexican flag over the municipal
palace. A company of infantry was
drawn up in front of the building dur
ing the ceremony. A large crowd in
the plaza gave prolonged cheers as
the national colors were unfurled.
General Aguilar, in statement rela-
tive to the evacuation, said:
II am we'll satisfied that this day
has ended so peacefully. The Mexi-
cans are pleased to have shown, the
whole civilized world that Mexico is
cultured nation and are we'll satis-
fed with the whole affair.
II appreciate the efforts of the
American people and the government
which made it possible for the soccu-
patton to end this way"
General Carranza will not arrive
here for two or three days, according
to General Aguilar.
General Aguilar did not mince
words when through his chief Of po-
lice, Theodore Frezieres, he told the
residents of this city that any dis
turbance of the peace, whether it be
picking pockets or any of the other
graver crimes, would result in the ex-
ecution of the offending individuals.
The decree provides that all arms
must be turned in to the authorities
within twenty-four hours and that fail
ure to comply with this order will
cause the shooting of the one in whose
possession a gun is found.
On entering the city the Mexicans
found the saloons closed in accordance
with the order issued by General
Funston. This was heartily approved
and under new order issued the sa-
looms will remain closed until further
