A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.

Nothing so fOrcibly reveals the des-
perate situation at the Republican Ma
tional Campaign Headquarters as their
attempt to discredit President Wilson's
Mexican policy by Movie" picture
directed by a pardoned convict whose
idea of thrill" is a scene showing
nuns being ravished and whose con-
ceptiOn of patriotism is the President
asleep at his desk.
But after all the principal is respon-
sib]e for this agent. Hal Reid was on
ly trying to earn the $4,000 appropriate
ed by the Republican National Com
mittee for film which now stinks so
loud they don't want to get within
smelling distance of it. And they ex-
cnse themselves by saying they never
knew it would be so rotten! The point
is this-it wasn't too rotten if they
could. get away with, it. They were
caught in the act Of trying to ''put it
over" They were caught in the act
Ct trying to deny responsibility for it..
Does anyone believe that Hal Reid
went ahead with the faxed film before
he had had his scenario O. KID by
someone in authority at Republican
Headquarters? Everett COlby's in
dOrsement, Its q corker," is sufficient
proof of this.
That it was in execrable taste or
even treasonable-what was that to
this crowd which has nothing to spend
but money! The whole sordid affair
is fit parallel to the Rum, Romanism
and Rebellion campaign which proved
such a boomerang to the parties that
started it.
What can you expect of a party
! which campaigns on abuse, vilifca-
| ton. SANDER, innuendO, and lies? We
| agree with the Brooklyn Eagle in Won
dering ''if there was anything in this
film that was not more than suggested
by Col. Roosevelt in his many attacks
upon the Presidents Mexican policy?
He has proclaimed President Wilson
responsible for the conditions that he
| described. Other have done the
same. In view of this, why should the
playwright be blamed for adapting the
material to his medium? Can it be
that the vilifers Of the President had
to see these things on the screen be-
fore realizing how truly despicable
this form of attack appears to- most
peoples"
The exposure of the character Of
this putrid film should, says the Eve
ming World, prove sharp lesson to
Republican campaign leaders. 1.-THE
| whole affair puts a stigma upon Re-
publican campaign methods"

square deal for the farmer led him II
make research abroad, and out of his
efforts grew the International Insti-
tute of Agriculture at Rome. This
Institution does for the staples Of agri-
culture of the world what the Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce does for
the products of the American manu-
facturer.
Through his connection with the In
ternational Institute of Agriculture
Mr.. Lubin became interested in the
rural credit systems of Europe and
led the movement which resulted in
the passage of the Rural Credits by
the Wilson Administration.
Just before departing for Italy, re-
Gently, Mr. Lubin authorized an inter-
view of 1000 words in which he gave
his opinion of those acts of the Wilson
Administration which directly affect
the farmer, his home and his market.
This interview has been furnished
without cost to every leading farm
paper in the United States. If the
farmer does not read it in his farm
paper it will probably be because the
Editor does not care to use his COL
umns for discussion of economic ques-
tons and government policies that
vitality affect the interest of the farmer.
Mr.. Lubin said: "In the applica-
ton of business methods of distribu-
ton, America, until the present Adj
ministration, was about $50 years be-
hind Germany and several decades be-
hind the rest of Europe. And yet in
the very thing in which America is
backward, she should lead the world.
She does not, because a clique of spe-
cial interests dictated public opinion
and controlled legislation through the
bosses of the Republican party. So
cleverly have they worked that the
average man is hypnotized, his criti-
cal faculties dulled.
"President Wilson is neither fooled
! nor led by this crowd. He is tire
less, patient, far-seeing. He has a
historic sense of the past sympa-
hetic sense of the present and u
p-ophetically spiritual sense of the fu-

WHAT THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY
DID TO AVERT STRIKE DISASTER

Before consulted with them (the railway execu-
tives and the representatives of the empoyes) made
myself acquainted with the points at controversy
The first thing told both sides was that stood
for the eighthour day. We believe in the eighthour
day because does better work within eight hours
than he does in extended day. said the rail-
road executives: "You are asking that the result of
the eghthour day be predicted and the prediction be
arbtrated The reasonable thing to do is grant the
eight-hour day not because the demand it, but
because it is right and let get authority from Con-
gress appoint commission to observe the results
and report in order that justice may be done the rail-
roads in respect Of the cost of the experiment"
That the proposal which they rejected and
which Congress put into law, proposal which made
to them before conferred with it, which urged upon
them at every conference, and which when the
side rejected and the other accepted Congress
and asked Congress enact did not ask either side
whether it suited them, and requested my friends in
Congress ask either side whether it suited them
learned before the controversy began that the whole
temper of the legislative body in favor of the
eight-hour day:
In the House of Representatives the plan was
passed, sanctioned, by vote which included sew
enty Republicans as against y-four Republicans In
the Senate the Republican members held conference
in which they determined put obstacle in the way
of the passage of the bill. Now, this because the
proposal was reasonable and was based upon right

ROBINS DECLINES TO MEET
MRS. FUNK IN DEBATE
Brilliant Woman Progressive Support
ing Wilson Had Challenged Hughes
Convert to Match Reasons.

Raymond Robins, who was chair
man of the recent Progressive Ma
tional Convention in Chicago, has de-
clined the challenge of Mrs. Antoin-
cite Funk to-meet her in public debate
on the reasons why Progressive voters
should be asked to vote for Charles
r. Hughes when President Wilson
Is in the field. In his refusal Mr..
Robins Indicated that he would de-
cline all offers to match logic with
opponents on the question of Pro-
gressive activity in this presidential
campaign.
Mrs. Funk is a lawyer in Chicago
and was one of the prominent leaders
of the Progressive movement so long
as Colonel Roosevelt remained at the
head of it. She and Mr.. Robins
fought side by side for Progressive
principles and she was one of the
most active campaigners for MIR. Rob-
ms in the Senatorial campaign in Illi-
nois two years ago.
Mrs. Funk now is a member of the
Associate Committee of Progressives
cooperating with the Democratic Ma
tional Campaign Committee. She puts
her challenge to Mr.. Robins on the
high ground of public service, asking
that her former associate submit the
case of Wilson VS.. Hughes to popu-
lar juries.
In her letter to Mr.. Robins, Mrs.
Funk said:
"In 1912, endorsing the Progressive
party with my whole heart, I left be-
hind me a tradition of middle western
and New England Republicanism
and when the end came in the Audi
forum last June, I followed Theodore
Roosevelt to the door of the Republi-
can camp with faith that the Republi-
can party of 1916 was in somewise
different from the Republican party
of 1912 that he and you and I con-
demned and I waited for sign that
would point the new way. 1t did not
come, but events momentous in their
import did transpire and against my
inclinations and traditions and against

And then I show the President

The motion pictures were taken
near New York. Some Of them were
prepared at studio at Cliffside, N. j.
Some of the Mexican" scenes were
photographed at Sheepshead Bay.
near Coney Island. Other pictures
were taken at Rockaway Point the
Vera Cruz Of the picture.
"A corker," Says Colby.
Everett Colby, as Chairman Will
cox's representative, was present at
the photographing of a number of
the scenes. He called the film "a
cOrker." .
The day following the Worlds ex-
pose, the film was privately screened
for George w. Perkins, Herbert Par
sons, James B. Reynolds, Candidate
Hughes confidential secretary,
Chairman Willcoxs private secretary
and other members Of the Republican
committee. A pow-wow followed.
A couple of days later, an eXpurgat-
ed, denatured and devitalized edition
was thrown on the screen for men,
bers of the Republican National Com
mittee. They found the historic
facts" sadly less interesting than the
advance notices promised. They did
not even gaze on the picture of a
pseudo President Wilson asleep at
his desk, while the toning down of
the scene Of the attack on the Catholic
nuns had robbed it Of any value as
thriller.
So the committeeman agreed that,
for Republicans, 'Watchful Waiting"
was not success, that its defects
could not be overcome; and that,
the proper place for it was the shelf.
SO the "scene closes" with Chairman
Wilcox writing a letter to Hal Reid
saying the film could not be used, but
commanding Reid for his zeal - the
zeal paid for with Republican money
which sought to drag religion into the
campaign.

MOORE URGES EVERY
THING TO PREPARE

ATLANTA, Ga. June 22.-The i'm
portance of financial, Industrial AMI
commercial preparedness was urged by
Wilmer Z. Moore, of Atlanta, presi-
ldent of the Southern States Life Insur-
aace company, in a speech before the
huntsville tAla.) Chamber of Com
Ioerce, and which has been highly
praised by the newspapers throughout
the country.
Mr.. Moore urged general line CT
education in behalf of thrift and fru-
gality. He pointed out that thrift is
not righteousness, but knowledge of
the right way to spend. He argued
that the South needs money in sucn
volume, and at such cost as will make
possible the large use of the real es-
tate loan, which he termed 1.-THE Mas
ter Builder
Mr.. Moore deprecated the inability OF
tie people of the South to fully take
advantage of its wonderful resources.
This is due, he pointed out, to a lack
of money for constructive and devel-
opment work, and the lack of money is
a result of the absence of frugal habits
and practices Of the citizens as a
whole.
To prove this condition he quoted
scme figures. He showed of the seven
billions of savings of the people of
the United States the South has only
the meager total of two hundred and
thirty millions. While the average saw
irgs deposits is $423.9 in the New
England states, it is only $17702 in the
South. The amount of savings per
capita of population in New England is
$z53.65, in the South $3.50.
