To Buy Arms for tho strikers.

1t Is very hard to realize the point
Of view Of a labor union which sub
scribes $500 or any other sum to buy
arms for the striking miners now In
open instruction in the State Of Colo
RADIO. Sympathetic subscriptions for
the relief Of strikers and their fami.
lies or for the purpose Of aiding q
strike carried on within the law are
understandable and unobjectionable.
But the giving Of money to arm men
for war against the Government of
their State is not merely wicked: 1t
Is so foolish as almost to pass belief.
The donors cannot expect that the
money will do the miners any good.
Surprising 1t should aid them In Offer
Ing little more strenuous opposition
to the forces Of order. that would only
mean more suffering for the men them
selves-more misery. more bloodshed.
more destruction. more misguided men
to punish when order IL restored.
Surely the makers Of the gift cannot
imagine that the strikers will be al

over law and government. But II they
are to lose. why make the loss any
worse than need be?
There is a terrible responsibility at
taching to any aid or comfort Of what
soever kind accorded to these men.
Any encouragement given to them Is Q
blow at our whole system, at civiliza-
ton. Whether the support takes the
form OF loose talk. physical assistance
or financial subsidy, 1t is crime
against the people and crime against
the strikers themselves. The struggle
about Trinidad has gone beyond the
possibility Of federation In any degree.
1t Is plain. common anarchy animated
10y malignant hate. The destruction
of the mines by the men Is suicidal
frenzy. the aggressive movements
against the State troops are treason.
Peace must be restored before any SEN
timent save indignation can find room
to express itself. Citizens who are
banded against the Government with
arms In their hands have no rights.

Late but Effective.

Whether the good order that was
maintained during the Franklin statue
public harangues yesterday is to be Mt
tributed to the presence Of large de-
tachment Of police and the enforcement
Of intelligent regulations keeping the
streets open for ordinary folk, or to
the non-appearance of women speakers
having q peculiarly disturbing effect
on street crowds. the fact remains that
for the lrst time since the operations
Of our naval forces In Mexico began
Park Row was q decently comfortable
place throughout the noon hour.
The rowdies whose indecencies and
assaults were invited previously were
kept in seemly behavior. and the young
men whose perverted sense Of humor
contributed largely to the tumutuous
scenes Of previous days were repressed
to conduct almost good. The rather
ostentatious display Of locusts in the
hands Of capable looking patrolmen
probably was responsible for the ref
ormation Of the crowd.
Had there been trouble the police
were prepared to suppress 1t. There
fore there was no trouble. In other
words. the adequate preparations made
by the authorities to have the police
perform their duty Of preventing dis
turbances Of the peace were effective.
There has been no doubt Of the ability
Of the police to control this particular
nuisance. All they needed was the
orders. When these were issued, they
acted with their usual efficiency Why
were the orders so long delayed?

The evil play may do certainly lives

product OF the theatre as The Lure"
is put into book form. It would be
interesting to know what service was
rendered TO literature or the stage by
the preservation of the first Of its de-

preserve to posterty the fiction made
from the alleged moving pictures Of the

hibited in Berlin on the ground that
they were "overrealistic." Thus does
literature blend with the theatre.

The Treaty Violation Complained

Aside from the point he raises with
respect to the treaty Of Guadalupe Hi
dalgo (1s4S), that the United States
Government should have given Mexico
notice Of the impending invasion Of its
soil at Vera Cruz (notice Is nowhere
provided for in the treaty.. President
HUERTA has rendered the American
people "A service by bringing Article
XXII. to their attention. II begins by
saying that "If (Which il not to he
expected. and which Con forbid) war
should unhnppily break out between
the two republics. they do now. with a
view to such calamity, solemnly pledge
themselves to each other and to the
world to observe" certain rules gov
erning the prosecution Of the war.
Merchants of either republic then
residing in the other are to be allowed
to remain twelve months II dwelling

dwelling nj the Senports, to wind up
their affairs. during which time they
are to enjoy the same protection "as

are provided for:
THE officers shall enjoy liberty on their
paroles. within convenient districts. and
have comfortable quarters: and the COM
