SAWDUST AS A DIET
A Critic of the New Tariff Finds
Adjustment Painful Process.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mayo. Mitchel's idea for central
employment exchange TO bring the man
less Job and the iobless man together 20
Is. as you say, worthy conception. but
when there are many more jobless men
than nanless Jobs the best employment
exchange will be absolutely useless. What
we will then need are soup kitchens and
free lodging houses.
Perhaps the story OF the horse deals-
who in hard times had found a new food
--sawdust-for his horse Is apt az pres
ent. lie claimed that Just as the horse
food il died.
So. perhaps it may be with our beloved
country. The new free trade tariff may
be just the thing for Us. but before We
get used TO it most Of us may succumb.
Every one has been told that the rcduc-
ton in the tariff will reduce the price of
most commodities, and il was reasonable
10 suppose that all purchasers would wait
until the last minute to see how large a
reduction would take place on whatever
they were compelled TO purchase. This
hesitancy on the part of buyers general
Is the cause Of the first general slacken-
ing in trade. The second and more Ear

Months may pass before serious en-
croachment takes place. as industrial

by stroke OF a pen. and conditions SUCH
as outlined usually take place gradually.

ASSISTING REBELS
The Alabama Case Is Cited as a Warn.
ing in Mexico.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Since President Wilson mas an
nounced that the embargo against selling
arms. etc. to the MeXicans will be raised
nv mind has gone back TO the period Of
the Civil War, and it seems to mo that We
are creating conditions against which we
vehemen.ly and successfully protested at
that time.
During that war We contended that tho
South was I'm rebellion, and We protested
TO England against assisting the rehc's,
and subsequently claimed that she should
respond for the damages our commerce
had sustained by reason OF her assist
ance. We all know that she was obliged
TO answer for her assistance in n large
sum Of money.
To-day there is a rebellion in Mexico.
Huerta is de facto President OF the Re-
public OF Mexico. IL not dc jure Prcsl-
dent At least he has Congress with
him and his government has been recos-
nized by certain foreign governments.
Does he not stand in the same position
that Mr.. G.incoln's government stood? II
so. il would seem that the neutrality de-
carcd by Mr.. Taft should be maintained
II We are 10 escape from the charge OF
inconsistency. But Mr.. Wilson's reasons
for raising the embargo. II he is correct
ly reported. are that IL will assist the
rebels in ovcrthrowing Huerta's govern
nent In other words, Mr.. Wilson is pro.
ceedng openly to do exactly what We
claimed England was guilty Of.
Have We not established a preceden; in
the matter OF the Alabama 3 depredations
that can most successfully be urged
against Us later In other words. will
not the raising OF the embargo provo a
very costly boomerang?

MORE ENTHUSIASM FOR
PARTY THAN FOR 70 YEARS
Muskeson County Sets a Pace
That is Being Kept up in
Other Cities and Counties.
COUNTY and DISTRICT COMMITTEES WELL
ORGANIZED

Et Governor Osborn Is Eioquently
and Effectively Presenting Repub
iican Issues For State and Nation.
Before an audience that filed every
inch of seating and standing room and
which extended outside the doors into
the street and on the sidewalk, Chase
s. Osborn, former governor and present
republican candidate, made most elo-
quent appeal in behalf of Republican
policies and Republican nominees. 1t
was the most enthusiastic audience that
has greeted political speaker in 20
years.
The foregoing paragraph was taken
from the Muskegon Daily Times with
reference to Mr.. Osborn's recent visit to
the city, and that meeting in Muskegon
is typical of the greetings that are
being given Ex-Governor Osborn in
other cities and counties.
Not since the campaign of 1875 have
the Republicans of Michigan shown
such determination and such unity of
action in behalf of their party and their
candidates as is being evidenced this
fall. Republican county and district
committees throughout the state are
effecting better organizations and are
planning to do their work more thor
oughly than since that national crisis
of eighteen years ago.
The enormous state tax put upon the
people by the present democratic COVER
nor, the losses that have come to our
state through democratic national mis-.
management and the furti er extreme
burdens that are being threatened for
Michigan has created desire to return
to Republican administration in state
and in nation such as has not been
shown since the last unhappy experience
with democratic control.
1t is therefore not to be wondered
that Chase s. Osburn is being greeted
by the most enthusiastic audiences that
have listened to political addresses for
twenty years.

will quell any more for this year.
Jacobs and his father have left for

Coshocton, o., to Investigate. Before

son would be obliged to lose this SEM
