much if the U. S. would use its army
to police the unruly Mexicans.
The present congress had a notice
of this on Aug. II, when Hon. Pat
Harrison of Mississippi read to the
house of representatives an editorial
of Sen. Rob't LaFoHette of Wiscon-
sin. 1t follows, in part:
'The gentlemen who want war
with Mexico are the gentlemen who
have Mexican properties They
are a very powerful lot They own
most of the United States and a good
big slice of Mexico. They are our
captains of industry, our masters Of
finance. They own or control our
great newspapers. They are for
strong Mexican policy "a strong
foreign policy a big army, a big
navy.
"They pirate about patriotism
They clamor for preparedness
They have tried to plunge the coun-
try into a hysteria of fear that we
are going to be thrown into war with
Germany or England or Japan.
The TIMBER, OIL, coal and mineral
wealth of Mexico and of the Central
and South American countries are
most inviting. The governments are
poor; the labor is cheap as slave
labor.
There is just one risk and that is
a large risk. The governments Of
most Of them are weak. Revolutions
in many of them are frequent; prop
erty rights are insecure.
But a scheme has been worked
out by the masters of finance to
make foreign investments as secure
as government bonds. Just put the
stars and stripes back of them.
"These American investors in
Mexico - millionaires - are using
every instrument they control

WILLIE HEARST WANTS TO HAVE ONE FINGER
IN THE PIE AND THE OTHER IN THE PIE

IN THE PIE AND THE
The funny political stand of the
Willie Hearst family, newspaper
plutes of America, has been shown
up by the squabble between Chicago
trade union women and the silk
stockinged ladies on the Hughes spe-
cial train. The scrap started when
the local supporters of Wilson said
the Hughes train was millionaire
special and it showed that big bus
mess was behind Hughes.
The second round came yesterday
when DR.. Catherine Bement Davis,
lady boss of the swell train that is
carrying all the wealthy ladies in
their tour, said that big business also
contributed to the Democratic cam
paign fund.
But the first name mentioned by
DR.. Davis was that of Mrs. William
Randolph Hearst.
This was a shock to the election
dopesters who were not on the in
side, because only two days before
Mrs. Geo. F. Bass of Chicago, big
lady Democrat, had issued a state
ment that Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, moth
er of William Randolph, had donated
to pay for the Republican campaign
Hughes special.
And the Hearst papers are ham
mering Woodrow Wilson in a quiet,
steady way. why the difference of
opinion in handing out election
CASH." is the query of ignorant cleo
ton dopesteTs.
The answer of sO-called insiders is
this: The Hearst family thinks it
will have a financial leg on each side
of the political fence this year. When
the final result is in doubt, the Hearst
family wants a stand in with both
possible winners. Campaign dona-
