LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mere WiIsonism.

MT. Editor: What mystic. influence must a man have to expect that the ptople forget that it was he who for years was a fiery foe of organized la Dor, who proclaimed. and was the ad- vocate of the open shop, who. when professor at Princeton university in delivering an address to the students of that institution, said labor is standardized by the labor unions to give as little as he may for his wages? Again he remarks, that .abor of Ameri- ca is fast becoming unprofitable under present regulations, by those who have determined to reduce fc 10 a minimum. (Meaning OF course trade unions.)
 Read Professor Wilson's History of the Amerie NJ People in which he says:
 The Chinese are noretfo be desired as working men, if not as citizens, than most of the coarse crew. that comes crowdlng in every year at our eastern ports. I wonder at the state of mind of the foreign born citizens who have made up their mind to support this man. who a few years back. insulted them. Will they still decide to put him back where he is today Show him that some of that coarse crew he mecked awhile ago have become voters since the History of the Ameri- can People was written.
 As ! lave said. what mystic inf1u- .once must man have who gains the support of men who ought to know better? MT. Gompers has attacked MT. Hughes. on the supreme court de- cision of the Danbury Hatters' case The first decision in this case was handed down in 1908. The second de- cisiOn was in 1915. There was no con- nection between the two decisions and MT. oGmpers knows that MT. Hughes was governor of New York fin 1908.
 What had he to do with decisions of the supreme court at that time? MT, Hughes record in public life is one of upright integrity. As @ resident of New York state at that time, and I speak as a trade unionist. While governor of New York his record was good The one mark against his official acts, if it can be called a marx of discredit, was his veto Of the full crew bill. He viewed it as a bil! of importance, which it was. After it's passage, the railroad cars to each train, and the. trainman found himself worse orr than he was before
 The feebleness of MT. Hughes seems to be. he never learned the back steps the side step. and has not the talent to write totes
 As for the Adamson act which Mr. Wilson is getting so much credit for passing in his desperation for votes it will prove a hoax. Passed merely to checknate internal strife until after election MT. Wilson says the eight hour
 
 why not te consistent about it? Des- pite repeated appeals from post office clerks eight hour law has been vio- lated for months in that department Why does he allow Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson to continue this viola tion?
 MT. Wilson has had 4 wars with Mex leo. His first blunder was to banish Huerta; Huerta, Indian though he was. knew the Mexican peop.e, and would have made order out OF confusion, but for MT. Wilson's questionable tactics. Since that time he has fallen in love- and out again, with fifty-seven va rities of bandit chieftains. He first sought to serve humanity, by paying court to Villa and Carranza combin- ed, although Villa was his choice When the split came. and after courting Vi1- Ia, he in a short time turns again to Carranza, thus came about his second war with MeNiso. Villas wrath end ed in his raid on Columbus, N. M., some more of MT. Wilson's diplomacy. He tells us he has kept Us out of war, | and he has invaded Mexico twice The summary of Wilson's id1ocy in Mexico is too long to record here While he has been juggling the Mex ican question, during intervals he changed the democratic Jack-ass into a British lion, leaving the ears and tail exempt to deceive those with more hind-sight than foresight
 MT. Wilson, true to his traditions, selected men of his own stamp for his official family. the majority of whom were born, reared and educased in the south. MT. Wilson has taken pains to slight the veterans or the northern army in the past, and has been caustic in his remarks of those who dare ts | question his policies. What he failed to accomplish in the way of sarcasms, | he left for his war secretary to com i plete.
 The son of a captain in the Con l federate army. it comes natural for him l to try to besmear the heroes of Valley | Forge. The lessons Of his childhood have not been forgotten In their last | desperate plea for votes of the peo- pie they are now endeavoring to in | ject into the campaign, the foul and | malicious germ Of religious prejudices, | by appealing to the different sects | Here is a page torn from the history | of the dark ages. Worse than sedi- | tion itself. and from men who speak | of disloyal Americans.
