CAMPAIGN FUNDS

The public never knows how much
money is contributed to the Republi-
can campaign funds. What is re-
ported by the Republican National
Committee is merely a drop in the
bucket, which they reported at little
over 100000. The real Republican
campaign money is that which is tax
en- up secretly from the great money
masters of the country and which no.
doubt is far in excess of $25,000,000.
Take the vote of Indiana for instance,
Roosevelt and Taft received $4,000
votes in Indiana in 1912. Mr.. Wilson
received $4,000 The figures this
year are, Wilson $4,000 and Hughes
100000. The $4,000 votes that came
over to Wilson came from the Pro-
gressive vote of 1912, so that leaves
the Republican vote of 1918 minus the
$4,000 progressives who went over to
Wilson in 1916 only 100000 votes. So
the Republican party must have car
ried over $4,000 negroes from the
South into Indiana and voted them
there. Everyone knows that the Dem
ocratic party has not enough million
aires from which to raise great cor
ruption fund if it even desired to dc
so, so the claim of the colonization of
negroes in such States as West Vir-
ginia, Ohio and Indiana are therefore
well founded. The Republican Ma
tional Committee did their utmost to
swing the State of Ohio back into
their column but the Wilson flood was
so overwhelming that it swept all be-
fore it.
AS our election system now stands
it will be easy in the future to ship
negroes from the Gulf States up in
to, the close middle western States.
The Congress of the United States
should pass law requiring that ev-
eryone who wishes to vote in No
vember should be compelled to regis
ter before June 1st, and that no ma
tional political conventions shall be
held in this country until after June
LIST, so by this means it would be very
difficult to transfer these negroe
voters from one part of the country
to another. before nominations are
made, as there would be no national
organized, and furthermore,
the Republicans could not fry so much
fat out of the millionaires before the
candidate is nominated. This law
should be passed at once for purifying
our elections.

OUR PROTOCOL
WITH MEXICO
United Saskatchewan Commission to
Consider Border Agreement
Finishes It's Work

The commission appointed by the
| United States and the de facto Car
rama Government of Mexico, to try
and arrive at some definite agreement
in the protection of the border and
other matters, closed it's deliberations
at Atlantic City, N. j., last week. The
commissioners signed protocol,
which it is said in general way had
President Wilson's endorsement.
The protocol in brief provides that
he control of the border be left To
the respective governments, each to
patrol its own side. The United
States. troops now in Mexico under
ieneral Pershing to be withdrawn
within forty days after the Carranza
government approves of the agree
ment reached by the commission, but
the United States reserves the right
TO pursue across the border any ban
dit force that crosses the international
line into the United States.
Lane Defines U. S. Position.
After the protocol was signed Sec
rotary Lane issued a statement defin-
ing to certain extent the policy Of
the United States Government toward
Mexico. He stated that he believed
Gen. CarranZa a strong man and that
he should be given a "full chance,
adding that Mexico will either do
right without our help or with it. This
is her choice"
The statement follows:
"The full policy of the United
States with reference to Mexico is not
to be stated in a phrase or in any
protocol or series of protocols. We
are to come out of Mexico just as soon
as we can 'decently and in order, and
because we have other use for our
troops who are there. But this is only
beginning to policy which will
make a Mexico we can live with.
"The border troubles are only SYM
ptoms. Mexico needs system treat
ment-not symptom treatment. She
can give it to herself and we hope she
will. We shall reserve to ourselves
the right to treat her invading ban
dts as they should be treated, chas-
ing them to finish, if necessary. I'M
less Mexico gets right into shape to
do this herself, This will serve Mex
ico's interest as well as ours, and it
will be the strongest possible deter
rent to raids.
Says U. S. VIII Help Mexico.
eve will help her to get into good
shape if she can understand that we
mean to be her friend. She cannot be
sick and strong at the same time. The
world wants a new Mexico where the
poor and ignorant will have a better
chance. To this extent the world is
with the revolution. The world has no
sympathy with exploiters, but it has
great respect for rights that are vest
ed and we shall go along with the
world in protecting such rights. But
revolution must not mean anarchy.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION

President Wilson's recommendation
for railroad Legislation in his address
to Congress will be practically thu
same as those embodied in his spe
cial address last August, when a ma
tion-wide railroad strike was pending
In his special address the Presidefit
made six specific recommendations
Two providing for an eight-hour day
as legal basis of work and of wages
on railways and for a commission t.
observe the operation of the law, were
embodied in the Adamson act.
The others, which remain Enacted
upon and which will be renewed by
the President, are:
Immediate provision for the en-
largement and administrative reor-
ganization of the Interstate Commerce
Commission along the lines embodied
in the bill recently passed by the
House of Representatives and now
awaiting action by the Senate; in or
der that the commission may be en-
abled to deal with the great and va
rious duties now devolving upon it
with promptness and thoroughness
which are with its present constitu-
tional means of action practically
impossible.
Explicit approval by the Congress
of the consideration by the Interstate
Commerce Commission of an in
crease of freight rates to meet such
additional expenditures by the rail-
roads as may have been rendered nee
essary by the adoption of the eight
hour day and which have not been off
set by administrative readjustments,
and economies, should the facts dis
closed justify thei Increase.
IAN amending of the existing Fed
eral statute which provides for the
mediation, Cancellation and arbitra-
ton of such controversies as the pres
ent by adding to it a provision that'in
case the methods of accommodation
now provided for should fail full
public investigation of the merits of
every such dispute shall be instituted
and completed before strike or lock-
out may be lawfully attempted.
"The Judgement in the hands Of the
executive of the power, in case of mill
itary necessity, to take control of such
portions of such rolling stock of the
railroads of the country as may be re-
CURED for military use and to operate
them for military purposes, with au-
thority to draft into the military SER
vice Of the United States such train
crews and administrative officials as
the circumstances require for their
safe and efficient use.2
Acknowledgement Gregory said at
a recent Cabinet meeting that the
Government was fully prepared to de-
fend the suits to test the constitu-
tionality of the law and he supposed
railroad brotherhood officials woaid bc
represented by counsel.

No Wish to Intervene.

The purpose for which this commits
sion was formed was to exert one last
effort toward making Mexico a posi-,
BILE neighbor under the Constitution
alist Government. We do not wish to
be forced into intervention or any
other course until this opportunity has
been exhausted. To this end we must
pass from the border matters of irri-
tation and immediate concern to the
conditions of Mexico which affect the
lives and property of our nationals,
These must be made secure-as secure
as is possible in a country where
among the masses of the people there
is a deep distrust of us. Then we ask
that, with our help or without it, Mex
leo feed herself and drive out disease.
There will be no little banditry if
Mexico gets to work
"The miseries of Mexico must be as
suaged. Her poor, naked, starving, dy-
ing poems call out for help. They do
not wish constant war, and only per
cent of her people are actually in the
war, but all are suffering. We cannot
maintain our self respect or be true
to the highest dictates of humanity
and see these people suffer as they do
because OF the chaos that has come
from civil war.
Only Two or Three Hurdles Jumped.
"This country is pacific, but is not
pacifist. 1t will fight willingly when
it can fight for something worth while
and must fight. 1t is our business to
make the occasion impossible, to make
the duty unnecessary, if this may be.
And SO, through many weeks, we have
striven to get upon a basis that will
prepare the way for a new Mexico
one in which Mexicans and Americans
and others can live with some assur-
ance of safety. But this is a long way
off yet.
eve have jumped only two or three
of the hurdles. We can see the way
out, but it is not always possible to
persuade others that our way is the
right way, though the proposed re-
duction of the new export taxes on
ores and bullion and the postpone
ment of the decree as to forfeiture of
mineral lands, as well as the agree
ment reached with refernce to with
drawal of troops and border control,
are all indications of the growing de-
sire of the Constitutionahst Govern
ment to meet those standards which
the United States and the countries of
Europe have right to expect"

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
