THE BIG STTCK

1t has been intimafed to Carranza
in unmistakable terms that Uncle
Sam has not abandoned his custom of
loving peace above all things, he has
not forgotten how to handle il nor
lost the use of his good right arm.
This is a suggestion of the dernier
resort and shows to what extremes
the patience of the United States has
been driven by the persistent Obsti-
macy of the rebel leader 1t means
that the duration of the watchful
waiting period is dependent upon the
course pursued by Carranza with re-
spect 10 the negotiations for a peace
full adjustment of Mexican troubles,
and that unless he alters his tactics it
Will come TO an end. What the United
States government will do then is
what it has been trying TO avoid from
the beginning. forcible interference
between the warning factions of the
Mexican republic.
What form such interference will
take will be left to the war depart
ment. since any departure from the
present policy short of retirement
means war. and whether the Mexican
factions unite or rema II separate the
war must necessarily be prosecuted
against both. The United States did
not hand out this intiI1ation of more
forcible measures entirely of its own
volition. II is understood that South
American peacemakers suggested it
as a last hope of bringing Carranza
To terms.
From this it may be assumed that
unless Cafranza comes into conference
and manifests a disposition TO aid a
/ peaceful settlement other nations
/ would approve forcible measures on
/ the part OF the United States Wheth-
er SO or not it is apparent the United
/ States Will take them when it be-
/ comes necessary.

GOT HIS DUES.

Upton Sinclair has been getting
what is coming % him and his stripe
at the hands OF the New York courts.
For attempting TO annoy John d.
Rockefeller for his attitude in the
Colorado strike he was given the
choice of three days in Jail or a fine
of five dollars.
To arouse sympathy Sinclair chose
the former and started a hunger
strike, but his wife, having a keener
appreciation OF the absurd paid the
balance Of his fine after he had
served two days and secured his re-
lease. 1t is probable, however. that
the agitator did not come out of incar-
ceration a sadder and wiser man.
While possibly susceptible to sadden-
ing influences it would be impossible
to make him wiser, except that he is
wise in the way of turning mis- disrep-
utable methods into money.
Sinclair has the reputation of be-
ing an agitatOr for. revenue only. No
one suspects him of a sincere desire TO
lead his fellowmen to a better life.
II his books sell he is content.

letter that is written in good faith by
disinterested party. Take the mat
ter of pOstOffice appointments. Well
receive here perhaps 1000 letters all
alike, with different signatures. I'm
supposed to believe that 1000 differ
ent men have sat down and composed
that letter because of their belief in
the fitness of the candidate who in
reality had the copies distributed for
signature. An ordinary petition with
the same number of signatures at
tached would have carried vastly more
weight because it would have been
honest-wOuld have been just what it
preten1ed to be-"
I got still more interested in the
proposition of duplicate letters to SEN
atOrs and made the rounds then of
about a dozen senator's offices, asking
either the senators or their secretaries
how much good such letters did the
senders or the candidate they are
supposed to boost. Some said they
did more harm than good. because
they are both an annoyance and a
fake. The COncensus of opinion, how
ever was simply this: A thousand
duplicate letters use up a great many
more stamps than one good argu-
mentative letter from a person free
from selfish motives. and do little if
any more good.
SO those who are in the habit of
writing letters TO their representa-
tives in congress can take the result
of this little investigation for just
what they think il is worth.

A BAD SYSTEM.

We are attracted by an expression
i'm the Dayton News to the effect thai
the day Of exorbitant rewards for ex-
pert service is passing and that the
great demand Of the future will be
for better average men. The express
sion reflects an impression which
must exist in the minds OF all who in
diligently observe the trend of the
times.
The world is getting away from in
flation and slowly settling upon a
sound and permanent foundation. The
rakeoff is being eliminated from le-
Ultimate business and confined to it's
proper sphere. the poker table. En-
terprises which pay extravagant sums
in salaries will be eventually reduced
TO this basis through the demands Of
public sentiment and the operation
Of law. 1t is impossible to earn the
salaries paid in some instances with
out levying unjust burdens upon the
patrons. Big business of various
kinds. from life insurance to rail-
roads. which supply what are regard
ed as the necessaries, can pay the
enormous salaries their heads receive
only by Overtaxing the public and the
time has come when the public is be-
ginning tc rebel against the imposi-
ton.
The piling up of vast fortunes is
accomplished by the same means.
The consumers are the contributors
and suffer from the establishment
OF standards of profit which have no
excuse for existence beyond the power
to make them. That power is the
menace against which it is sought TO
protect the public by the enactment
of laws which will curb trusts, restore
competition and reduce costs TO a fair
basis.
The public is becoming tired of
making sacrifices in order that a few
| individuals may draw enormous sala-
: ries AMI accumulate big fortunes The
system is wrong and cannot exist
much longer if the will OF the people
is to rule.

The arrest OF Mrs. Carman for the
murder Of Mrs Bailey was anticipated
By all who have followed the story Of
the Freeport tragedy. Circumstances
point strongly to the guilt Of the doc
tors wife and 1t will require positive
evidence TO the contrary to remove the
assumption.
That Mrs. Carman was jealous Of
her husband will not be doubted. The
presence Of the dictagraph found In
the doctors office and connected with
the desk in Mrs Carman's room is
conclusive evidence that she was sus-
picious OF her husbands relations with
other women who called at his office
ostensibly for treatment. and where
there is suspicion in a wOman's mlnd
there is jealousy and "a desire for re-
venge or despair in her heart. Add
TO this the contradictory statements
made by Mrs. Carman As 10 her
whereabouts at the time the crime
was committed and the duplicating
statements Of other Witnesses and the
daughter OF the accused and the state
has a strong case of circumstantial
evidence.
Mrs Carman is. however, woman
OF unblemished character and enjoys
the respect and confidence of the COM
munity in which she lives. Mrs. Car
man positively denies that she is
guilty or that she had any knowledge
that the crime was to be committed.
She also denies having known Mrs.
Bailey and the statement is made that
the night she was murdered was the
first time Mrs. Bailey had visited DR..
Carman's office.
It would be unjust to PREJUDICE a
woman Of Mrs. Carman's character or
TO doubt the sincerity of her plea of
not guilty. At the most she is an un-
happy woman, not a hardened Grim
insl If she shot Mrs. Bailey she did
il under the impulse of a sense of
wrong and injustice which prompted
her 10 believe that the act was justi-
fed in defense of her home. of her
honor as "a wife and of her response
bility as a mother.

THE TARIFF BOGEY.

The country is not being deluged
with foreign products as a result of
the revision of the tariff This must
be disappointing 10 calamity howlers,
but il is a cold calm fact.
Imports for the first eight months
of the new tariff have increased less
than nine per cent over the CORE
spending period a year ago and there
is nothing to indicate that American
manufacturers have suffered from il.
ON the contrary expert figures show
a much larger percentage of increase
for the same period.
Unfavorable as this condition is for
the hopes of the opposition it con-
firms the conclusion the American
people had reached that the tariff
was a DOGGY which as a factor in pol
itics might be destroyed without Sc
riously affecting their welfare. The
results so far show that the burdens
imposed upon them by the old pro
tective tariff were unnecessary.
If the opposition expects to make g
campaign in 1916 it will have TO find
some new and vital issue to attract at
tention from the people.

tightwads are worrying. Instead of
seeing how every penny Of this outlay
is bringing dollars direct and indi-
rect profit-direct in multiplied crop
yields. bettered industrial methods.
more efficient citizenship, indirect in
a million fine by-products-they are
plotting how TO ho5ble the institutions
growth and how TO extract more tu-
ition out of students from other
states.
Upon this issue Wisconsin's voters
must soon pass-whether graciously
to serve the cause Of freedom and
enjoy both the prestige and profits
Of leadership or TO be narrow, stingy
and mean.

MIR. LANG OR MIR. KELLER.


incident to the proposed anneXa-
ton of a wholesale division to the
city market.-one word more.
County Agent Bordner in an effort
10 justify the move takes the position
that it will reduce prices to the con-
sumner in the retail division.
We are at a loss TO know exactly
how it is to be done-by what appli-
caticn of the law of supply and de
mand he hopes 10 reduce prices in
the retail market by reducing the
supply without reducing the demand
even more?
To us at least, his argument fails
to hold water. The original theory
OF the market was that by bringing
the consumer and producer into di-
rect contact, eliminating the middle
man. even an even division OF what
would otherwise be the middlemans
profit. would make produce CORES
pondingly less expensive to the one
that buys. and to like extent more
profitable TO the one that sells.
Can anyone imagine how a whole
sale division. where convenient sales
can be made in bulk at wholesale
prices. is going TO induce any producer
10 sell for any less at piecemeaI than
he did before? The whole scheme from
every logical viewpoint. seems TO be to
get producer and retail merchant to-
gether and eliminate the consumer,
instead OF retension or improvement
OF the old order.
We are bound TO repeat that it looks
like an underhand fulfilment of the
campaign promise of Mr.. Lang. pres
ident OF the council. that the city
market Will be cleaned up" and a
quite equally undetermined reputation

that the market is 10 be improved"
