THE INDUSTRIAL SLAUGHTER.

At this writing The Herald is not
informed what brought about the
trouble that resulted in the pitched
battle in the Trinidad district between
striking miners and state militia, but
whatever the cause we do not believe
it warranted the firing into the tents
of the miners, killing innocent women
and children-in fact, there can be no
justification. This paper has not been
in sympathy with the agitators and
leaders who brought about the strike
and who are responsible for the vari-
Gus killings, at the same time the wo-
men and children are not to blame and
should be protected
As stated above, the dispatches re-
ceived in Durango have not been ex-
plicit or given the facts in the case,
at the same time it is quite positive
that if the strikers had not interfer-
red with the rights of those working
and property interests no trouble
would have resulted. The strike lead
ers and union officials were very vol
luminous in condemnation of the mill
tia which put a stop to rioting and
killings. As long as the militia was
on the ground in force the strikers
behaved. The officers of the union
claimed there was no necessity for
the calling out of troops or continu-
ing them on duty. The pitched bat
tie of Monday and Tuesday disproves
this, and it is very certain that if the
strikers had remained away and at
tended to their own business there
would have been no trouble. The strike
leaders might as well realize now as
any time that the more trouble and
killings makes settlement that much
more difficult. True, the men are out
of job and none in sight with gem
eral industrial paralysis over great
er part of the country, men seeking
work in every state, are in sore straits
especially with the mines fully equip
ped with miners, and are becoming
desperate.
Still we say, there is no justifica-
tion for firing into the tents occupied
by women and children.

The growing value of the home
newspaper for advertising which has
chiefly been done in magazines is no.
ticeable in the big Chicago advertis-
ing agencies and offices of advertising
managers. ct used to be considered
good advertising to cry merchandise
by the public crier," said Arnold
Joerns, advertising manager of a Chi
cago corporation. Some merchants
think they have done all that is need
full when they have stenci,ed their
name and location on the fences, and
others are satisfied when they have
defaced the landscape with some bill
boards; but to my mind there is only
one way for retail merchant to push
his business and that is by telling his
story through space in the home daily.
The first thing is to have something
to sell and then to let the people
know it in such fashion that they
will come and buy. Using national
weekly or magazine pages is scatter
ing the force of announcement too
much except for specialized advertis-
ing campaigns. Use the paper that
the people you want to reach read,
and nearly everybody reads the paper
which is published in his home city,

The state pure food and drug in
spector of Tennessee says people ad-
dicted to the use of drugs in his state
spend an aggregate of $50,000 n
month to satisfy their craving. He
is beginning crusade against the
drug trafficers Under the anti-nar-
cotic law recently passed over 1900
permits have been issued to individ-
uals having the habit, and for whom
opiates have become a necessity of
life. The official says the United
States uses more drugs than China.
The problem presented by this sit
ua.ion is assuredly most serious, says
the Denver News. The underlying
cause, We believe, is the nerve strain
of modern existence, the pressure of
industry upon the workers. The in
creasing use of drugs is probably due
in some measure TO the withdrawal
Of alcoholic stimulant where prohibi-
tory laws are enforced. We do not
suggest this as an argument for the
liquor traffic, but rather as a phase
Of the problem in It's broader aspect
that, we think, will not be solved un-
til we are prepared to deal with the
conditions that create the demand for
stimnlants and drugs.

sLAMMING THE MANN ACT.

No one with trace of principle
disputes that the white SLAYER is an
unspeakable person, entitled to both
barrels, or worse. But justice is still
desirable, and for that reason such
high class publications as the Chicago
Tribune, Harper's Weekly and other
important newspapers are fearlessly
kicking the Mann act around, because
Of its obvious injustice. And certainly
any reasonable person will admit the
injustice of law which severely
Furnishes the man in the case, and
sets free the woman equally guilty
Besides which it has been proven that
the present law may be made a
vicious instrument for blackmail, and
an excuse for the shirking of local
responsibility. And in attempting to
do too much, the Mann act apparent
ly has failed in the purpose for which
it was originally intended. Most Of
the convictions so far recorded are of
the Maury Diggs type, and bearN nc
relation to commercialized vice, OF
that interstate commerce in women.
commonly called white slavery
But congress is slow to correct mis-.
takes; by abolishing the cantcen it
increased the drunkenness, desertions
and disease of the army, in the opin-
ion o. practically all army men. That
law was passed more than decade
ago, but there is no disposition to
change it. Suffrage may be new in
Kansas and Illinois, and dream in

The fraternities of Columbia uni
versity in the city of New York seem
to be getting on basis of honorary
fraternities, making scholarship rath-
er than social qualities the first re-
luisite for membership, says the En-
poria Gazette, and continues: To this
all fraternities in American colleges
must come eventually. Democracy is
growing. The aristocracy of much
college life must pass. There can be
no objection to fraternity based up
on scholarly attainments. But a fra
ternity based on mere social attri-
butes, becomes quite naturally snob-
berry. In Kansas, the legislature will
do well to make it impossible for stu
dents in state institutions to become
members of any fraternity--or other
organization, who shall not have been
in school at least one term-one year
would be preferable--and one shall
not have an average grade of at least
S5 per cent. When this is done the
objections to fraternities will pass.
For they will be based upon "the fell
iowship of kindred minds" which we
are authoritatively assured is a good
thing.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

This nation is virtually engaged in
war with foreign country and we
must all rally to the support of the
government. no matter what the mis-
takes Of the administration. 1t is
said one of the reasons for the precipi.
tation of trouble by the president was
a rUmor that the so-called powers Of
Europe, at least England, Germany,
France and Spain, were federating to
protect their citizens in the face of
the "watchful waiting" policy of Mr..
Wilson. The failure of the United
States to protect her own and foreign
citizens as provided for in the Mon
roe doctrine made that document alb
solute. Messrs. Wilson and Bryan
made no attempt to compel decency
by Villa and the latter openly insult
ed this country in replying to Bryan
demands and the administration stood
for it. At no time has The Herald
been in favor of intervention and We
are not in favor Of Intervention at this
time. Let the bloodthirsty Mexicans
fight it out until they get tired, but
see to it they respect the life and
property of foreigners. The Herald
has contented right along that the
administration should have landed an
army in both the north and south Of
Mexico with n statement from the ad-
ministration that so long as foreign
ers and their property were not mo-
Tested there would be no interference
on the part of the United States, but
that ample redress would be compell-
ed for any violation of this demand,
the guilty party, whether it be Huerta
or Villa, be held responsible and pun
ished for violation of such order. This
would not have cost the United States
much extra money as our soldiers are
mustered all along the Texas border
and no trouble to land 5000 in the vi
cinity of Vera Cruz, and would have
furnished the desired protection and
shown foreign nations this country
was determined to live up to the re-
quirements of the Monroe doctrine
which has been dead letter the past
year, or under the administration of
Wilson and Bryan.

Here is another excuse for abusing
old John Rockefeller. The Rockefel-
Ter Institute for Medical Research has
just received an endowment of mil
lion dollars from him to establish
department to be devoted to the study
Of animal diseases, and John j. Hill
has pledged $4,000 to it for special
investigation Of hog cholera. The
statement of the scope of the new de-
partment speaks of animal diseases
as important, not only because of the
economic and commercial interests,
but because of their close relationship
to human diseases. Very clearly is
the Importance shown from an econ
omic point of view by the estimates
Of experts of the department of agri-
culture as to losses from hog cholera
alone in 1912. The loss from hogs
killed outright by cholera in 1912 is
estimated at s60,OO0,0O0. The loss to
the hog industry indirectly resulting
from the disease was about $15,0O0,-
600 more. The cholera is most COM
mon in the corn states of the west
and south. The two other chief ami
NAL diseases are cattle tuberculosis
and Texas fever. Statistics upon the
annual losses from these two diseases
never have been gathered by the de-
partment of agriculture. They do not
cause anything like the number of
deaths that cholera does, but the loss
to the cattle industry through illness,
interference with reproduction and
making cattle unfit for marketing is
heavy. The losses run into many mil
lions of dollars year. The study
ef these two cattle diseases will, of
Course, be part of the work of the
new Rockefeller institute department.

Mexico City has, we believe, the
worlds greatest opera house. But,
like the well known revolution in
that section, it isn't finished, nor like
ly to be, with most Of the revenue
going for arms and ammunition. But
Mexico has battles and bull rings,
amusements more suited to their par
ticular brand of artistic temperament,

appreciate peace, and probably
