would try to realize the public nature
Of my office. | would try 10 look on my
self not so much as the head Of big

Hence. while neglecting no part Of the

good deal of time and thought TO the
human end.
] would try TO spread out the baA Of
my capital as widely as possible If /
needed billion dollars TO finance my
company would endeavor to get the
money from ten million different people
rather than from one hundred or one
thousand people.
For every stockhoder and bondholder
would be my friend he would have a
lively interest in the prosperity OF my
business And people generally would
talk of our railroad This influence
would manifest itself in many ways.
Railroad property is more exposed
than any other kind. and for its conser-
vation depends more on public sympathy
and cooperation.
1t also is dependent upon legislation,
and a farmer or country lawyer in the
legislature, if he owned hundred dollar

inclined to give me a square deal
| would set aside considerable sum OF
my profits for publicity / would hire
the best writers could secure and TALK
about my railroad in every newspaper in
my territory
| wouldn't lie, nor cajole nor boast,
but would constantly keep before the
minds of the people the public nature Of
my road, its value TO all forms Of busi-
ness, its nature Of public servant. It's
close connection with general prosperity.
It's aims, plans. and hopes. Thus | would
lake the public into partnership into my

| would see to it that every employs

voted to the affairs Of the road, telling
Of its finances it's business, news OF
every kind concerning its people, and all
the possible romance Of railroading
In fine, would conceive of my road as
a spiritual thing, and not wholly mate

money for investors and provide jobs for
workers, but TO serve the commonwealth
TO help realize democracy, to assist all

But few days ago Chihuahua fell.
Villa attacked the city that is the key
to Monterey and moved down and rout-
ed the Carranza army.
1t looks as if Carranza soldiers who hid
and protected Villa had been made the
victims of misplaced sympathy, but, as
we have said, that is THEIR business.
The matter may become our business if
press dispatches that Villa has sworn 10
lombard FL Paso should prove true.
But it happens that there are certain
newsgathering agencies in Mexico as well
as some natural resources, in which the
owners of these agencies are financially
interested, and when colored news reports
are demanded, the business of these agen-
cies is principally lying.
When we hear that Villa has begun 10
lombard Ell Paso we will believe it.
This fellow is century's deepest-dyed
villain and blackest cutthroat, but he
isn't fool, and isn't in the habit Of at
tempting suicide.
One thing that Villa holds very dear, in
common with the average individual, is
his neck.
The preservation OF it is his PARTTCU-
LAR business.
II we were in FL Paso the lies of mine
owning, railroad owning, ranch owning
newspapers and news agencies wouldn't
disturb us bit, realizing that raising a
cry for armed intervention by this coun-
try in Mexico is THEIR OWN PARTIC-
ULAR AND SELFISH BUSINESS.
The Detroit times., 1916-12-04
When Carranza Troops
Saved Villa, That. Too,
Was Their Own Business

It has been the position of this news
paper while there has been trouble IN
Mexico, that what may happen to take
place there between MEXICANS settling
matters that concern THEMSELVES,
their way, is none of this country's busi-
ness.
Villas raiders crossed the border and
attacked Columbus, New Mexico. and
THAT became, of course. OUR business.
Our troops were called into action and
sent in pursuit of Villa and his outlaws,
with instructions to get him, dead or
alive
II was quite generally expected that
Carranza and his followers would feel
somewhat grateful TO us should our eff
forts prove successful, but it was Car
ranzas soldiers who stepped in. just at
the time we were closing in upon Villa,
and turned on our troops to hide and pro-
tect that scoundrel
: The hostile attitude of Carranza'S 5
troops toward our own was our business.
and was made our business by emphatic
warning from Washington.
If Carranza's soldiers sympathiZed
with Villa, we felt at the time, that was
their own business.
We didn't see how we could very well
control their sympathies, even tho we
could not account for them.

Protests From Democrats
Pour in Over His Failure
to Aid Suffrage
WOMEN WILL WORK
IN OWN INTEREST

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5-Criticisms
of the Presidents refusal to indorse
the Susan b. Anthony amendment for
woman suffrage have already begun
to pour in at the White House from
Western Democrats, who have the is
sus to face in their States this fall
Miss Elsie Hill. one Of the ORGANIC
ers for the Congressional Union, has
returned from a trip through the
Central States. and brought with her
recital Of the way the Presidents
stand was being received there.
Western Democrats feel" said
Miss Hill, that the President would
be fNly justified by the Democratic
platform in coming out for Federal
woman suffrage. because the adoption
of an amendment to the Constitution
Of the United States is practically Z
State method. The representatives o.
the people in Congress first mus
adopt the proposed amendment anC
after that It must be agreed to by the
representatives Of the people in theil
own State Legislatures.
Suffrage and Child Labor.
And surely if child labor in The
States can be regulated by the cen
tral government why cannot tn,
question OF woman suffrage at leas
be submitted to the States? This IL
the question that Democratic voters
in North Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois
and other States have asked me oyei
and over again.
illinois women who are members
of Democratic organizations in tha
State have been coming to our head
quarters asking what could be done
to get the present Administration L
put the amendment through. They
say they do not see how they posi-
bly, can hold their political organiza
tions in line otherwise. Many of these
women want to vote for Wilson On,
Illinois woman. a prominent Demo
cratic official. has been trying TO ar
range an interview with Mr.. McCor
mick for a group of women 10 place
the situation before him.
! Working for Other Women.
This is the first time the womer
voters in Illinois have been confront
ed with a national issue The womeT
voters in that State realize that thel
are working in their own interests a.
well as that OF other women in tryinl
to secure a Federal amendment
Strong efforts are being made ever
now to take away from them as mucl
Of their political power as possible
The women in Illinois have enemie
at home to fight, while those in tn
other suffrage States cannot los
their citizenship unless they move :
some non-voting State.
I'm my campaign work in tn
West" said Miss HILL Il found gres
interest among the men on the stree
at open air meetings who wanted .

on the Federal woman suffrage ques
