Among other editorial expressions
Of a patriotic nature given space in

vice is given to Mexicans on the sub
ject Of the I. W. W.:
The agitators of the Industrial
Workers of the World have done
much harm to the people OF Mexico
who have come here to seek work
and safety while the troubles in their
own unfortunate country are being
adjusted These socailed Organizers"
have been denounced by the United
States government as dangerous, and
working with our enemies, the Ger
mans, but because they induced many
Mexicans to join them in strikes and
Industrial disturbances, many OF the
big mining companies have adopted
the policy OF employing only Ameri-
can citizens, which has caused many
Mexicans to hunt in vain for work
Fortunately these American compa-
MES. having had close relations with
the men from Mexico, are more
foreign people and, If they refrain
from joining such disloyal societies
as the Industrial Workers OF the
World and attend closely 10 their
own business. our Mexican brothers
viii soon be able to reestablish them
selves Win the american companies
and the American people and will
soon be in a position TO command ex-
cellent wages as favorites over all
other foreign men We must remem-
Der that the people Of the United
States are at war; they are sending
their sons to battle. and those remain
ing here at home viii not take kindly
to the strikes and Industrial disturb
ances which are brought about by the
enemies of this country so as TO sac
rifice these men on the battle front"

Prisoner Gets
Ont OfCOWnty
Jail; Mystery
No One Seems to Know
How A. Sanchez Es-
capped; Several Theories.

Antonio Sanchez. held on = bur-
glary charge. has disappeared from
the county jail. search Saturday at
ternoon revealed. a number Of the
cries are advanced as to how Sanchez
got away. He might have found his
way into the general corridor Of the
Jail and into the east wing OF the
place. where workmen are still en-
gagged, the prisoner then getting off
in a crowd OF other Mexicans; he
might have been released by the
jailer, Buck Elliott, to a deputy and
not returned; or. as some courthouse
officers believe, he might have been
in the crowd OF prisoners that sawed
out Of the jail early In January.
At any rate, Antonio has disap-
peared in some way. In connection
with his disappearance, II was said
that when a deputy comes for a
prisoner. no receipt IS exacted By the
jafler. but a memorandum might be
made. If a prisoner Is released to a
deputy and brought to court for a
preliminary hearing or other proceed
ings and Is there released BY the
court. the jailer has no means Of de-
termining whether the prisoner es-
capped from the deputy or was re-
leased.
As to q prisoner escaping from the
Jail itself, there are several possible
ways; saving out, as has been done,
or slipping out during a gathering
Of visitors at the jail when door to
a row OF cells is opened, such as when
the Salvation Army holds services at
the Jail on Sunday. In the case OF
Sanchez, no one seems TO know how
he got away.
Provides a Receipt System
Chief deputy sheriff r E. Bryant
Monday compiled a set OF regulations
which, he said. would be enforced In
the county Jail hereafter. The fea-
ture Of the rules is that receipt
system as between day and night
jailers Is provided for. Mr.. Bryant
arranged whereby the day jailer
would deliver to the night jailer,
when the latter took charge, q list
of the prisoners. the night Taller TO
deliver a similar list when he goes
off duty.

MAYOR SAYS POLICE FORCE
TO BE CUT TO IS, MAYBE 20

The city police force. now number
ing 81 employees. including every per-
son in the service, will in all prob
ability be reduced TO 20 and perhaps
20, mayor Charles Davis said Mon
day. The budget for the police de-
partment calls for 80 employees, but
the mayor said It would be impossible
to grant this.
Slowness Of property holders in
paying their taxes is the reason Only
about so percent OF the current taxes
have been paid and retrenchment in
all departments is deemed necessary
The street department has already
been cut down to a minimum strength
and the mayor said that the policy Of
the council would be to eliminate a
man in any department whenever It
was found possible.
