THE GREATEST OF REApJUsTERs
[From the New York Evening Pos

From the New York Evening Post.1
We do not see why there should
have been any stir in the senate over
the discovery that President Wilson
has completely reversed himself in the
matter Of the proposed child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr.. Wilson described this legis-
lation in his Unconstitutional Govern.
ment" as unconstitutional and "ob-
viously absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost bounda-
ries Of reasonable and honest infer
ence," and making 1t possible. II sus-
tanned. for congress to legislate over
every particular of the Industrial Or
ganization and action Of the country"
That, we must confess, has also been
the Evening Posts view. But the
Evening Post and Senator Borah are
old fogies, dating back to the time
when 1t was the custom to have fixed
beliefs and principles and stick to
them.
The senator has evidently not read
Mr.. Wilson's letter in explaining his
change Of front on the tariff commis-
sion-that It is only a narrow man
whose mind Is stupidity closed to new
ideas, who does not alter his opinions.
BY this test Mr.. Wilson is obviously
one Of the broadest minded men this
country has ever produced, for he has
changed his mind to date on the initia-
tive, referendum, recall, woman suf-
frage, the tariff commission, tariffs for
revenue only, a permanent diplomatic
service beyond politics, the merit sys-
tenn In the civil service. the proper
place of Tammany Hall in the scheme
of the universe. child labor legislation,
preparedness, Bryan, continental ar
my-but why continue? 1t Is long
enough list to prove that Mr.. Wilson's
political views are not tossilized By
any fear Of inconsistency.

similar to those in other southern

able to get away from all traditions,
and three of the four will have entire

able to design and construct buildings

He kept US OUT
OF WHAT WAR?
DisIngenuous to Boast That It's
Through Any Act of Wilson
We Are Out Of the Euro
pean Contest.
RATHER SHOULD BE BLAMED
FOR MEXICO BELLIGERENCY

During tho Present Administration We
Have Seized Mexican Port and
Sent Our Entire Army and Militia
to Fight Mexlcans While Armed
MsSfcan Forces Have Invaded Amer
lean Soil and Fought Battles Against
Our People.
Sometimes you hear men, sensible
men, too, say, "I'm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept us
out Of war;"
Ask such men short question. Ask
them, "Out of what WARP"
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of the
European war? No. He has himself
in a formal address to congress spoken
Of the European war as "a war with
which we have nothing to do, a war
whose causes do not touch u.s." How
could Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of war
with which we have nothing to do and
whose causes do not touch US?
Did he keep the rest Of the western
hemisphere out Of the European war?
No independent nation on this side of
the world is involved in It; the only
people in it are the colonies Of Euro
pean powers and they had no voice in
their fate, for they were automatically
at war when their mother governments
went to war. Who kept Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Peru, out of the Euro
pean war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
NTr ~ r
with Mexico? No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Mexi-
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war. In his term we have seized a
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Mexi-
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with
in our boundaries.
President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico during that
time. No Mexican cities were seized
by Americans and no armed MeXicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was in the White House. Yet Mr.
Taft never thought Of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept us out Of war with Mex
leo. He put an embargo on arms so
that American weapons would not be
sent across the boundary. and he re-
fused to interfere in Mexican affairs
When he left Office Mexicans liked
Americans. and Americans were safe
In Mexico. Since he left Office Mexi-
cans hate Americans and Americans
dare not remain in Mexico. Did Mr..
Wilson keep us out of war with Mexi-
70? Not If words mean anything.
Mr.. Wilson did not keep us out Of
the European war. and he did not keep
us out Of war with Mexico.
Out of what war. then? Detroit

Cause Of Labor Exodus From the South
Out from Savannah, Ca. recently
there has come a strong wailing pro-
test against the efforts Of some north.
ern agencies, which the writer Of the
protest claims are Turing the colored
laborers north at an alarming rate.
Draining the south Of Negro workers,
the letter says, and to It Is due the un-
settling Of labor conditions. Be this
as II may. let no one be deceived as
to the exact cause of the great exodus
Of colored people from the south. says
N. b. Dodson. In this connection
many injustices to the race must be
borne In mind. and among them are
lynching. segregation. low wages and
the political cruciflxion Of the colored
voters of the south. The generation
Of young. educated colored men Of the
present will no longer continue to sub

Jones Is Fourth Expert to
Die a Martyr to Cause

Washington, Oct. 20. = Lewis NJ.
Jones while engaged in rescue work
at the Barrackville mine, is the fourth
government expert to lost his life in
an attempt to save entombed miners.
Jones lived in Pittsburgh and was born
in Cleveland.
Director Manning OF the bureau
said to-day that Jones death was a
great loss as he regarded him as one
of the most able men in directing res
cue work.
Jones had been an important fac
tor in the development of rescue
work" said Director Manning. He
died martyr to the cause, like three
other rescuers OF the bureau have died.
Under the chief mining engrineer of
the bureau, Mr.. Jones had charge of
the experimental mine of the bureau
at Bruceton. Pa, and in this capacity
developed many safeguards that are
not only saving life in the coal mines
to-day, but will be instrumental in saw
ing thousands of lives in the future.
The fact that tho death rate among
the miners last year was the lowest in
the last sixteen years emphasizes the
worth of Mr.. Jones efforts"

Greek Situation Confused
The situation in Greece remains ex-
tremely confused. News dispatches
from Athens, long delayed in transmits
sion and recording the development of
the situation there only up to Wednes-
day night, report turbulent conditions
in the Greek capital. Greek reservists
there are said to have taken the law
into their own hands. despite the pres
ence of strong contingents of entente
marines. with the Greek authorities
doing virtually nothing to control
them.
King Constantine is reported to have
told the British minister at Athens
that the allies. having deprived him
of all power and recognized the pro-
visional government of Saloniki, had
better address future proposals regard
ing the course of Greece to the Veni-
zelos revolutionary government.

other party entered the mine and
brought them out. All quickly re-
covered except Jones who had ap-
parently died in the mine.
