WILSON AND LIND
 GROSSLY INSULTED
ssLunatic in White House. and .One-Armed Spy' only Two
 of Editorial CaIumnies.

Mexico City, March 2.-The Mexi- cans growing hatred of their sgringo, neighbors got a sharp hillip by Presd- dent Wilson's action in raising the embargo on arms for the rebels.
 The newspapers are vehement in their enunciations of the United States, with which country war, they declare. is inevitable They are also grossly insulting to President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, whom they car icature as pigs.s
 There has appeared on the street a new connie paper, the cover design Of which presents MT. Wilson as a sow ridden by a Mexican who is hanging on by a surcfngles showing the Mex jean co1ors and bearing the legend 100000 hembresp (2oo. 600 mem.
 WILSON AND LIND INSULATED
 The name of the paper is Mister Lind, which is Explained as follows in the ealL1tatory editorial
 ft-The name Of Mister Lind is a symbol; when it sounds in the ears of 9. good Mexican it seems as though a sinister bird passed Or a serpent missed. That name personif1es the common enemy. erstwhi1e hypocritica1 today ayowed. whom i've have on the other side of the Rio Bravo That sy1lalble those four sonorods lett CTS Lind would be for us a Biblical hand writing on the wall had we not faith 2 able to put a astraitjacket on the luna tice of the White House.
 We repeat, Mister Lind is a, sym bol. the incarnation Of the heartleas and Shameless trafncsceTB who have been born in Fdgopolis, of that vile mass Of rnercenaries who traffic dn the blood Of the races who have deserved we'll in the history Of Art, of Heroisn and of Sacrifice.
 esONE-ARMED SPY. t
 To say Mister Lind is eq1fva1ent though not referring to the one armed spy in Vera Cruz, to evolning in two words that legion of blond Cartlla- genians whose eruption menaces but odes not frighten US.
 For that reason is this paper called Mister Lind, flor it is to be the clarion calling us to watch the White Pig that would devour US Woodrow Will son; the tenporizer, the meticuIous, the unbalanced, who has traced no line of policy, shall see in these pages the reflection of our ationa1 senti- ment boiling with righteous Wratkf against his criminal conduct which is costing us so dearly. 7

KEYNOTE. -

Il am opposed to Statewide

1t is not democratic, and you
have Woodrow Wilson's word for
that. Local option gives the
power to every community to
decide for itself whether or not
it will license saloons. If Il
majority of the voters in CONF
munity are opposed to salocn>
they are abolished. IF Il ma icrity
of the voters are in favor Of
saloons. they are licensed. 1t Is
thus left to each community to
determine for itself whether il
will be wet or dry. and. most i'm
portant of all. when this matter

Cost Of Efficiency.

Ineficiency is one Of the prime
causes. of the high cost of living.
If you pay a man 40 cents an hour
for his work, and he loafs away two
hours day, which many do, you
actually pay him $500 for $40
worth of work. And then to make
up the loss you charge the so cents
to somebody else, and he passes
over. the debt to other people. Thus
one faithless man spreads wide the
loss, while everybody recoups by
charging him for his goods and
for his time.
( While shiftless work may make "a
demand for more work, it is at the
expense of everybody else, including
the worker. This is plain as a prac-
tlcal matter, but as moral question
it is easily discernable. Inefficiency
is dishonest, and dishonesty is costly
If man is paid for work which he
doesn't do, there is a loss that the
man himself must make good in
some way. He may not pay back
that day, but he will some day in
some way. If a man wastes the time
for which he is paid, and thinks he
makes by it, he is a fool Ohio State
