Martial law has been declared in Butte Mon
tana, as result of a conflict between two rival
miners unions and the state militia is in charge,
with United States troops camped not far distant
in the event that the militia cannot handle the
situation and keep the peace. Butte presents a
deplorable condition from the standpoint of labor.
It is family quarrel among the miners one fac
ton led by President Meyer, of the Western Fed
Grafton OF Miners and the rival faction under the
leadership OF President Mcdonald who has or
9af1zed new miners union in opposition to the
western Federation. At the first SIGN of an off
break President Meyer petitioned the Governor
OF Montana to send state troops to Butte to pro-
tect Western Federation members from attack

MAuDLIN sENTlMENTALITY.

furnished by the following from his

How sad commentary upon the

the spirit of the law begrudges a man

That Hon. Marcus A Smith still retains the
lconhdence OF a big ma ority of the democratic
Iparty OF Arizona has been abundantly manifested
during the whirlwind campaign of the Senator
during the past ten days Mark Smith has re-
tanned this confidence and loyal support, over a
long period Of public life, by of his able
and honest service to the people who have repeat
edly elected him orepresent them. In the Sen
ate of the United States are many such able men
as Mark Smith on the Democratic side who were
elected term after term to the House of Represen-
tatives and like himself are still serving their con-
stituents now in the Senate There is John Sharp
Williams, of Mississippi; Senator Clark of Ark
ansas; Senator James, of Kentucky; Senator
IShivey, of Indiana; Senator Stone of Missouri
These able democrats have all served long terms
in the House and Senate, and like our own Senator
from Arizona have for long years enoved the
confidence and loyalty of the people of the states
they represent. The opponents of Mark Smith
fail to point out single act of his long and use
ful public career which has not been for the best
interests of all the people OF Arizona. His enc 1
mes have searched the Congressional Record in |
vain for one single derelicton of duty and are fore

by libellous inuendos and irlsinuations
NJ ark Smith would never have been repeatedly re- +

had remained true and steadfast to the trust i'm 4

Editorial Opinion
REESE LING STATES HIMSELF
FOR DEFEAT

Reese M. Ling, candidate for Unit
ed States Senator, has a great many
personal friends in the Globe district
and 1t is probable that if the election
mad been held a week ago he would
have polled a considerable vote in
ella county. But Mr. Ling, in the
meantime, paid visit to this city
and to Miami and made ''vote-getting'
speeches including statements that
were wholly unjustified and without
any foundation in fact.
| Most Incorporate of the candidates
remarks was a charge that the min
ing companies recently curtailed their
1orces In order to drive working
voters out of Arizona and thus prevent
them from casting their ballots for
the 80 per cent bill Mr.. Ling must
have known that his statement was
untrue and if he was not aware of its
falsity he has shown himself to be
not qualified for the high office of
United States senator through his
very inability to keep himself inform
ed as to true conditions in his home

The working men know and appre
c1ate that the mining companies have
taken fair and upright course in the
present crisis brought about by the
european war; they know that every

men employed as possible, and they
know that it is the men with families.

ready to handle made the action of the military
tribunals the more indefensble.
Senator Borah recommends no action on the part
of Congress, but it is safe say the finding of facts
will be adequate. 1t is not likely that State authorI-
ties will soon again attempt such proceedings. The
findings of Senator Borah are of the value and
importance at this time because of the great strikes
which are on in Colorado and in the Calumet country
Conditions in these regions bad enough as it IS,
but to have them nr~de worse through military courts
would be intoerable. AS matter of fact, there is
small likelihood that the West Virginia authorities
would again make such mistake as they made
when they set the military courts in operation.
The findings by Senator Borah in this case are
illustrative of the fact that it is valuable thing in
such controversies to have the light turned on and
have the truth made known by an impartial tribunal.
The West Virginia investigation by a Senate SUBJ
committee had wholesome effect. 1t illumned
some dark spots that had long needed illumination.
Conditions in West Virginia today the better be-
cause of it. In the same way, the chances are that
a thorough and impartial inquiry into the Calumet
situation and into the Colorado situation would be
healthful

IS INTERVENTION INEVITABLE?

There has never been time when such calm con-
sideraton and lack of ingoism marked the American
attitude toward a foreign problem, as characterize
the presentday posture toward Mexico. There is no
zeal for conquest no ambition for glory, eager
ness to intervene. Almost everybody sincerely hopes
that the necessity for forcble intervention may be
avoided.
Yet it must be admitted that the march of events
carries farther from realization of such desire.
Its reported that the Presidents mysterious confer
ence with John Lind had to do with a consideration
of the probable conditions in Mexico in case of Huer
tas overthrow. There is first the question whether
the Carranzistas will be able to overtun the usupers
regime, and, after that, whether better conditions
may be expected under the new order.
The inability of Mexico to work out its own saliva
ton seems more and more apparent with the passing
of the months. 1t is not so much a question of
Huerta and Carranza of the Maderos and the Diazes
of Zapata and the rest of the leaders; it is rather
question of whether there are elements among the
Mexican people, strong enough and understanding
enough, to make the basis which to build nation
Without doubt, the world got somewhat errone-
Gus notion of the constituents that make up the Mex
can community, as result of the success of Por-
frio Diazs iron-fst policy. Mexico seems to have
very much less capacity, either for governing for
being governed, than we imagined when we judged
it by the era of Diaz.
That brings the inquiry, whether the outside
world is under obligations to provide an effective
government, if the Mexicans cannot; whether the
United States is to be expected to furnish Diaz
if one shall not rise up among the Mexicans them
selves? There is widespread disposition among Eu-
ropean governments and interests to assume that
such is our Obligation there is no little sentiment to
the same effect here. Between the two urgencies
intervention as an inevitable end comes closer and
closer in sight with every passing week Something
like stalemate appears to have been reached in the
military situation Huerta persistently declines to
be Starved to death. He exhibits vgor and capabil-
y that sharply contrast with the weak iresouton of
the Diaz administration before its fall.
If it be true that Lind has reported to Wilson that
there is little hope of Mexico taking of its
troubles, then, indeed does the United States face
the necessity for the most difficult and serious mill
tary operations in which it has engaged since the
war between the States.

DAYToNs NEW CITY MANAGER.

According to the census of 1910, the population
of Dayton, Ohio, was 10000. Its new city man
ager, H. M. Waite, formerly city engineer of Gin
cinnati is to receive a salary of Sl2,5OO a year.
This is only $500 less than the mayor of New
York is paid and it is three times the salary which
the average city approximating Dayton in size pays
10 its principal executive officer.
And yet Dayton does not believe that it is guilty
of act of extravaganza in recompensing with such
4 sum the man who is going to take over the man.
agement of its municipal government under the
new system which it is inaugurating. 1t is giving
Rim the power to save that much money for it, and
a great deal more. If he succeeds, Dayton will pat
itself on the back for having done the right thing
when it found itself forced to adopt extraordinary
measures after the staggering calamity which the
floods of last spring brought upon it. And if he
fails the responsibility is clearly defined that there
will not be the slightest difficulty in placing the
blame.
Large corporations pay to the men charged with
the principal responsibility for the direct manage
ment of their affairs salaries which bear some rea-
ton to the efficiency of those officers in using the
assets and opportunities of the corporations to the
greatest advantage. They do not pay such amounts
from philanthropy but because they expect to get
them back many fold. Dayton, which is under
taking to manage its own business in busnesslike
way, is doing the same thing. 1t is making an in
vestment which politically managed city of CORE
spending size would not think Of making, because
such city would not expect the return to which Day
ton appears to be looking forward with confidence.

THE STARVATION OF A NATION.

The cablegram from the Bulgarian Queen to the
American Red Cross offciary pleading that quick
and extensive aid be sent to the suffering people of
Bulgaria, is now followed by appeal from Gen.
Nelson A. Miles. General Miles has just returned
from extensive trip in the Balkan peninsula, and
knows the condition of the Bulgarian people thor
oughly
In all his experiences a soldier he declares, he
never saw such conditions as those OF the whole Bull
garan people The nation is literally starving to
DEATH 1t has nothing left means to buy, credit
not even real social organization through which
to seek help.
"If our people realized the misery of the Bull
garans, they would flood that country with relief"
declared General Miles.
1t is manifest that there have been no more press
ing appeals for national generosity than this
from the Bulgarian people. There can be no uncer-
tany of the needs; and there need be no fear that
money sent through the Red Cross will fail of its
purpose.

MONEY IN ELECTIONS.

Frank P Walsh head of the industrial commls-
sion, in recent speech at Kansas City, gives his
view of the expenditure of large sums of money in
elections. He says:
Il will undertake to say and do not believe
am overoptimistc when | express the thought that
within short time it will be as immoral and indecent
to spend large sums of money to have men elected
to public office as it is today to pay money to egis-
lators after they are elected"
1t would be desirable if the advance in thought
alluded to by Mr.. Walsh were to come. That the
tendency is in the direction he refers to cannot be
doubted Still, it would not be amiss for Congress
and the State Legislatures to enact adequate egisa-
ton to meet the situation. In spite of revelations of
campaign expenditures in past Presidential and Con-
gressonal campaigns, Congress has been slow to
remedy the situation by effective statutes.

SENATOR BoRAHs WEST VIRGINIA
REPORT.

Senator Borah of Idaho, as member of the sub
committee of the Senate Education and Labor Com
mittee that conducted investigation into the strike
IN the Paint Creek and Cabin Greek regions of West
Virginia, has made report to the Senate on the spe-
cal military courts tribunals which were in opera
tion while the strike was in progress.
The report is sweeping condemnation of these
tribunals which, everyone familiar with the facts
knows, dispensed sentences with high hand and
sent men to prison without a shadow of lawful au-
thoriy. The fact the civil courts were open and
