The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-09-28

Mr.. Wilson'S Reasoning. his
first speech in defense OF the Wilson
Adamson wage increase bill, Presi-
dent Wilson declared that the con-
troversy was simple indeed, that It
involved question OF wage increase
and question of the eight-hour day.
Il do not regard the question of the
principle Of the eight-hour day ms
arbitrable," he asserted. But, he
said. the question OF an increase Of
wages is Admirable. Mr.. Wilson
made no attempt to explain, however,
how It was that holding the view
that the question OF the eight
hour day was not, and that the
question of an increase of wages was
arbitrablc. he proceeded to have Con-
Eress pass a law which increased
wages from twenty to twenty-five per
cent and which does not accomplish
the eight-hour day, or affect in any
way the length of time railway en-
ployes shall labor. Mr.. Wilson said.
labor is not commodity" Anu
then he went on to cite the eighty
cent gas case" which was decided by
the supreme court, gas being, OF
course. a commodity, and the decision
is in no way pertinent to the railway
controversy. Moreover. he grossly
misrepresented the decision.

The National View

CaITanza Tells Truth. General"
CarranZa has furnished to the press
copy Of communication he has adj
dressed ITO the governors Of the va
rious Mexican states In which he con-
firms the accuracy OF these dispatches
regarding the New London confer
ence. Carranza gets mixed up re-
garding the political parties, It Is
true. and charges that the Republi-
can papers have been misrepresent-
ing the New London conference, but
he goes on to say, II assure you that
Inc Mexican commissioners arc fol-
lowing my instructions and are only
discussing the withdrawal OF Ameri-
can troops from our national terri
tory" That is precisely what has
been asserted in these dispatches and
what the Republican press generally
has asserted. II is the Democratic
papers. publishing reports inspired
by the Wilson administration, which
have asserted that the internal az
fairs of Mexico were being discussed,
that 4 broad program for rehabIlI-
tating Mexico were being discussed
ana eifecting the reforms OF which
the unfortunate republic is so sorely
in need. has been under discussion.
Once more Carranza confounds his
benefactor. Woodrow Wilson. and
makes perfectly clear what critics OF
the administration have all along as
serted, that the Mexicans as repre-
sented by Carranza will not brook
any interference by Mr.. Wilson and
that the New London conference is
merely subterfuge to tide over the
Mexican situation until after the cleo
ton.

Wilsonites Challenged M
tional Woodrow Wilson College
Mems League, of which William II.
popularity known as big Bill" Ed
wards Is the head, has been making
boasts which are received with ex-
treme sceptlclsm by the Hughes Ma
tlonal College League. The latter or
gani2atlon has been casting reflec-
tons on the accuracy of big BilI's"
claims, to his great indignation. The
Hughes League no wcOmes out with n
challenge to Edwards to prove his
statements, offers TO prove its own
and proposes that "any reputable
audit company" be chosen to audit
and report on the original enrolment
cards OF both leagues. The Hughes
League is perfectly willing that the
public should know the facts. pro-
vided those facts are indubitably es-
tablshed.

Roosevelt and Women. -Col. The
odore Roosevelt has written William
Y. Wilcox heartily congratulatlng
me chairman on his having estab-
lished Woman's campaign commit
tee of the Republican national com
mtttee. Col Roosevelt says, in part:
1T is especially significant Mt this
time' when women are playing so
prominent part In problems Of ma
tionaI Importance, in industry, the
professions. preparedness, American
ism and many others, that the Re
publican party should recognize their
power and influence in the political
life OF America" The woman's com
mlttee is not by any means the only
auxiliary Of the Republican national
committee. One of the most active
instrumentaltties of the Republican
campaign Is the Woman's Committee
OF the National Hughes Alliance. of
which Miss Frances Kellor is the ex-
tremely efficient head. This commit
tee issues a weekly bulletin which is
model OF high class and effective
campaign literature.

Gus trick has been played upon him.
We leave the peeyed and inpeccable
statesman to grapple with his own
troubles. What we are chiefly inter
ested in is the campaign methods of
our statesmen, for which the govern
ment pays the bill. The revenues
which come ultimately from the peo-
pie support a gigantic printing Office
in Washington which systematically
prints campaign propaganda, in the
form Of speeches, for u statesmen,
and the United States postofice de-
partment distributes this propaganda
free Of charge. The cost Of printing
25,000 copies of a speech on thick pa

These are not parallel or applicable
