How the President Has Upheld
a Small Nations Right to
Control It's Affairs.
RESISTED war PRESSURE
Determined That Ameriea's Sister Re-
public Shall Be Permitted to Work
Out lts Problem Of Freedom
and Self if-Government

"President Wilson's faith in demo-
cracy. and the unselfshness Of the
United States in international deal
ings. have been strkingiy expressed
in his Mexican policy.
1.-THE President's demand for Mexico
is-Justiee."
The larger phases OF the relations
Of the United States with Mexico
during President Wilson's Admins
tration as well as an interesting and
complete narrative OF events are pre-
sented authOritatively In the Mexican
chapter OF the Democratic National
Text Book. from which these quota
tons are made:
1.-TWO considerations have animated
the President In the formulation OF
his Mexican policy and have compelled
his adherence to II throughout his Ad-
ministration. namely:
1.-THE firm conviction that all na-
tions, both the weak and the power
fui, have the InviolabIe right 70 control
their Internal affairs.
1.-THE belief, establishes upon the
history of the world. that Mexico will
never become . peaceful and iaw-abid-
ino neiohbor Of the United States un-
I'll she has been permitted to achieve
. permanent and basic settlement o.
her troubles without outside intsrfer-
eneo.. .....
"The Mexican problem in its pres
ent form has existed for the American
Government ever since our frontier
was extended to the Rio Grnnde. When
the people maintained the peace 1t was
because they were forced to do 30. and
not because justice reigned In the
land Thus II was that the history
Of Mexico. like the history Of every
aspiring people. pressed upon Presi-
dent Wilson's consideration the truth
that no permanent good relations
could exist between this great North
ern Republic and the one Immediate
ly South of us until she had been left
free to put her house In order. how
ever painful that process might be
and whatever the demands 1t might
make upon the forbearance Of the
United States"
''There was q powerful pressure for
war-a terrible war-by . weII-armed
powerful nation against an unarmed,
bankrupt people exhausted BY dve
years Of civil strife, but who still re-
tained enough Of patriotic feeling to
unity them against an invader. It
Was the old. old question whether the
United States should impose q peace
on Mexico; whether. for the sake Of
the interests Of q few Of its citizens.
It should permanently suppress Mex1-
cos upreaching toward freedom and
self-government."

TRADES ASSEMBLY WANTS
PRIMARY LAW CHANGED
Declare Candidates for Office Are Designated in the
Party Assemblies By Professional Machine Poll
tcians; Judge Hynes Speaks in Advocacy
of His Contempt of Court Bill

Organized labor Of Denver, by unani-
nous action of the Trades and Labor
Assembly, went upon record last Sun
day as favoring an amendment to the
primary election law that will abolish
the state and county assembly feature,
thru which the professional politicians
are enabled to designate the party can
didates. This question came up in a
report submitted by the Legislative
Committee of the Trades Assembly, rec
ommending that such action be taken.
1t was partly induced by reason of the
Denver County Assembly having desig-
naterd as candidates certain so-called
labor men who could not be supported
by organized labor, and for this reason
no Endorsements of any candidates in
the primary election were made.
Work of Scheming Politicians
When the primary law was intro
duced in the legislature during Governor
Shafroth's administration there was no
assembly annex to it. However, over
the protest OF the governor and others
who strongly advocated election reforms,
the seheming politicians were successful

The Colorado & Southern employs about
200 shopmen at Denver and about 25 at
Trinidad. The Colorado Midland and the
Moffat roads also are part of the move

Joint Movement Abandoned.
Labor leaders representing the shop
men first undertook to get the rail-
roads to meet their demands as a unit,
but later abandoned the joint movement
and now are holding conferences with
the individual roads. The shopmen say
they will not make their next move un-
til reports have been received from each
of these roads-thirty-t three in all. Then
they will report the results to o. H.
Wharton of st. Louis, president of the
railway section of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. and will decide what fur
ther action they will take.
Must Give so-Day Notice.
Attorney General Farrar recently ruled
that the shopmen are not directly in
volved in the operation of the railroads,
are therefore subject to the rules and
regulations of the state industrial COM
mission. and consequently must give

The situation involves approximately
1000 men in Colorado, more than 5000
of whom are in Denver. The Rio Grande

day schedule for five years. The Moffat
road also has an eight hour -day shift in
its shops. These roads will be asked
only for the wage increase and the
standardization of the wage scale.

WALSENBURG, Colo, Sept. l2 -
President John McLennan and District
Vice President Mike Livoda of the Unit
ed Mine Workers have been meeting
with great success in organizing the
coal camps of Huerfano county during
the past two weeks. The miners every
where in the Southern field are anxious
to join the union, and both Huerfano
and Las Animas counties will no doubt
be solidly organized by the end of this
year.
Last week unions were organized in

When fully organized the miners un.

No serious opposition to the organiz-
ing campaign has been shown by the
mine superintendents or owners. They
appear to have accepted the inevitable
establishment of runions in southern
