Strike Violence.

(New Haven Journal-Courier).
1t is not edifying to read of strike
battles. 1t is even less edifying to
read as we have been forced to, of
riots due to industrial unrest in which
hundreds of women participated both
In contributing to the violence and in
melting the men to riotous acts.
Mother Jones is an example of the
trouble-mak a type as dangerous
as 1t is unloVely. When she said re-
Gently to a crowd of women in the
streets OF New York, you ought
to be out raising hell" wom-
en- became furies and, raising hell'
was thoroughly visualized. Her con-
tempt for GRITTY was too eloquent
ly voiced when she cried out against
the mayor and the police commits
sioner In these words: Freedom for
the working classes! And when
meet God Almighty I'll have him
damn them" 1t is such Incorporate
minded folks as Mother" Jones who
appear to have the power to make
customarily law-abiding people go out
and defy the law and the rights of
the public. There is but one way to
treat such people. They are offend
ers against society just as much ~
robbers or drunkards and as such they
ought to be treated. When the law
comes down upon such individuals
In the manner they deserve, strike
violence may lose its present rather
alarming vogue. Small patience
should be had with such.

was a great reform movement. 1t was
the breaking away from the old prac-
tees of Republicanism. 1t was the
split that marked the beginning of
the end of Republicanism as fostered
and nourished under the soothing
hands of Penrose, Crane & Co. 1t
was a complete reputation of all
those things closely associated with
that group, even to the Payne
Aldrich tariff. The entire nation,
with the exception of two states,
Utah and Vermont, Joined in the over
throw of this gigantic party. Now,
the Republican party, which has not
changed in complexion one iota since
1912, wants to come back. 1t wants
his great constructive administration,
en- administration that has put into
law all the remedial legislation adj
Nocated by the Progressive party
come back. The people of the United
States will not stand for it. Parker
has not joined the Democratic party,
Dor does he intend to do so. Neither
does he intend to desert the PRINCIPLES
formulated by the Progressive party
What he intends to do is try to help
the election of a man who is big
enough to see the wants of the COM
the needs of the hour. Wilson was
progressive enough to help execute
the reforms Of the Progressive party
He even fostered the good ideas the
Republican party had advanced for
years; but which it never ATTEMPTED
or even meant to carry out.
Down in New Orleans from whence
Mr Parker halls they hold every year
great Mardi Gras. People go there
from all parts of the United States to
take part in the festivities 1t is a
gala occasion, and all the merry
makers don masks. No one knows
who is behind a mask Beautiful
masks hide ugly faces, ugly masks
som etimes conceal faces that are
beautiful In the mind of John M.
parker the Mardi Gras and the Re-
publican party are closely associated. |
He says it is hiding behind mask. !
1t went to the Supreme Court of the |
United States to get it's mask, and in |
doing so 1t violated a tradition more |
than century old. In one hundred !
and twenty-five years it had been un
derstood that when a man assembled to
the Supreme Court bench, the highest
tribunal in the land, he was out of
political life once and for ALL Yet
the Republican party, afraid to take
any Of its real live active mem ers,
known from one end of the land to
the other, picked off Charles Evans
Hughes, a highly respected jurist, for |
Its mask. And it is behind this mask |
that it hides today, and no one knows
who is back of the mask and no one |
knows what will happen If the mask
Is removed in the White House on
March 4, 1917. That is one reason
why there are many serious minded
men who believe as does John M.
Parker. Let we'll enough alone"

BALLAINE OUT
 FOR CONGRESS
GREAT STATESMAN GOING TO USE THE GUGGS AND R. R.
 TO GET VOTES.

WASHINGTON, March 15. John E. Ballaine has announced his candi- dacy for election to congress in the following statement dictated to the United Press correspondent for the Gateway:
 q will be a candidate before the Republican primaries for the con gressional nomination in the Seattle district. My decision is prompted by threats of Steve Birch, manager of the Alaska Syndicate, by beasts (sic) of the Guggenheim lobby here in Washington and by the secret aid they are receiving here from a few men in Seattle, who are on the Guggenheim payroll, to the effect that the work on the government railroad in Alaska will be stopped with the coming of a new administration. They include in their threats hostility to the coal leas- ing laws. I will accept their chaI- lenge. I will make my campaign largely on the issue of devoting my time and energies in congress in sup port of the policy of a prompt com pletion of the mileage of the govern ment railroad in Alaska which con- gress authorized two years ago, and in addition I will try to bring about the authorization for the building of thousands of miles of railroads so that all parts of Alaska may be open ed to equal development for all Americans of every degree. I intend to be in Seattle in April, after the Alaskan legislation now pending is safely through, to enter actively into my campaign"

SAN ANTONIO, March 15-General Funston admit ted to the United Press representative this afternoon that Colonel Dodds with his cavalry probably crossed the border today ninety miles from Columbus"
 It was reported that the U. S. cavalry had engaged the Villa bandits shortly after crossing and the rors were persistent When asked to make statement on this Funston said: Such engagement would not be sur prisng" Continuing he declared; T hope the American people will appreciate the fact that the going will be very hard It will be a very difficult campaign and probably will be long one The operations will be in the most desoate country in the world Fodder and supplies must be carried to Dodd and for all the forces otherwise we should be defeated by nature before meeting Villa at all Villa prisOnrs taken at Columbus say that Villa and his followers have been living erked beef entirely The criticism for our delay in crossing the boundary IS unjust If we had continued the pursuit the first day we should have probably been surrounded by superior forces and been subjected to another Custer massacre We will at tain the end we seek"

DRESS REHEARSAL FOR

The last rehearsal for the Minstrel Show takes place this evening, and then the great thing will be virtually launched. The performers have kept the program very quiet. Never were secrets more securely maintained. They say, though, that some Of the citizens of our fair city will hear some things about them made public which will be sure to tickle. It can be said with first hand knowledge that the musical portion of the evening will be the best in Stewards expert ence. In this respect it may be said that Seward has perhaps, better tal- ent than any other town of it's size. Messrs. Sinclair, Moses and Lucas are vOcalists, for instance, who are more than a credit to the place.

 Fairbanks Guilty
One of Defendants in Serious Charges
 Must Suffer Penalty.

FAIRBANKS, March 15. - W. H. Woodbridge, who was indicted on the charge of rape and attempted rape, two different counts, has been found guilty on the charge of attempted rape. It is believed that the verdict was a compromise one as the jury was locked up with bailifTs for nine days. The actual time taken for get ting the verdict was three hours. The trial of Robert Jones on a similar charge starts today and the trial of Dan Callahan will follow it. Both are charged with rape of breed girls under age, the same charge of which Woodbridge was found guilty.
