Iowa City Republican: The Repub-
lican has not been in sympathy with
the Wilson-Bryan policy respecting
Mexican affairs, believing that most of
the trouble could be avoided by recog-
nizing Huerta as president of Mexico,
but when that upstart flouts and in
suits the American nation it is time to
teach him and his ignorant hackers a
lesson. Right or wrong. with the flag
always, is the patriotic course and the
Republican believes that every Ameri'
can citizen should get behind the presi.
dent, Just as they did when Mckinley
directed agairs through the Spanish
American war.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: A boy
should be taught trade, a specially.
No matter how rich his parents may
be or how much he may be expected
to inherit, we all agree that substan-
tial knowledge upon which he can fall
back and earn living is an excellent
foundation for any young man. Bust
ness men and sociologists and all the
rest of the thinking world who know
enough about the vicissitudes of life
to do good straight thinking and come
to solid conclusions of life agree upon
,this-a young man who knows trade
or has been specially trained has some
thing more solid than bank account
underneath him. He can always get a
living.
Washington Times: At the end of 1t
all war may come; and If war, it may
we'll be doubted whether we will ever
get out of Mexico. The great northern
states are even now almost as much
American as they are Mexican. Eng
lish is spoken everywhere throughout
the territory; mines, railroads, planta-
lions, all kinds of enterprise, depend
largely on American capital and ener-
gy. 1t is altogether likely that this
section, at least, of the country would
be left American at the end of the
war; while the rest would have to be
held suzerainty that sooner or later
would insure it's establishment as some
kind of dependency Of this country.
Whether we like it or not, whether 1t
shall be good for Mexico or good for
this country, that is about what will
result if there Is now war.

QUESTION OF chipping RIGHTS.
How Near Must Warehouse Be to En-

Des Moines, July 24.-Dwight Lewis,
assistant commerce counsel, is working
on the preliminaries of a case to be
brought before the interstate commerce
commission involving rights Of ship
pers in matters of switching cars that
may be Of very great Importance. or
may revolutionize methods as between
railroads and shippers. A railroad at
Muscatine, having an Industrial track
to certain industries, but occupying a
public street by sufferance, declines to
place cars on this track for an indus
try situated across the street, when
such cars come from connecting
railroad, tho willing to set the cars
there when they come all the way over
the railroad operating the track. The
question raised. is that of how close
must warehouse be to a track to
entitle it to the use of said track as a
matter of right If warehouse ten
feet from the track is located ION the
track" is one fifteen feet away also ION

STATE LABOR BUREAU FINDS
FEW PROBLEMS WHICH PRE-.

SPECIAL INQUIRY As

Abuses in Factories and Other
Places Whore Women Are Employed
Danger Seen in Piece System
Method Of Labor.
special to Times-Republican

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 24-Iowa IL not yet
up against man yof the labor problems
which are causing trouble In the old
err states. Factory development has not
proceeded far enough so that child Ia
Dor, overworking, occupational diseas-
es, ventilation, ETC., have to be con-
sidered as a difficult problem.
The state labor bureau has been at
work recently having investigation
made in most Of the cities Of the state
Of the conditions Of labor, in places
where female help is employed, such as
laundries, restaurants and hotels. The
object Is to find out If there are con-
ditions existing which need the at
tention Of the state authorities. In
some of these occupations it is found
that very long and arduous hours pre-
vail, in others there is comparatively
small wage, in others there is too great
danger Of injury to health or morals.
But in most Of these industries. as
found in Iowa. the conditions are gen.
orally good, as found by the labor de-
partment.
Harm Of Piece System.
The factory inspection has already
disclosed the harm which comes from
adoption Of the piece system and
crowding Of labor. In practically every
factory is found at least one who is
exceptionally skillful in handling the
work, whatver it is, and her record is
set as the mark for all. More import
ant is it that the wage is based on
what the abnormally fast worker can
accomplish by a strain. Already Mrs.
Roukre has found that in some factor
les in Iowa the health of women en-
ployes is endangered by the close and
steady work. In few instances the
dust is detrimental to health and no
way seems to have been found for
preventing this.
But not until factories are more
common and the work is done by large
bodies Of ignorant persons will the fac
tory problem become acute in Iowa.
The work being done by the labor bu-
reau now under the authority Of the
state laws, is to prepare the foundation
for proper regulation Of all factory
work for all time.

his record? That is the question that
