rHoUGHT-PRovoKINc ADDRESS
Hon. I. C. MeRae Complimented by a
Good Crowd.

The good crowd that gathered at
the courthouse Wednesday at IL
o'clock to hear the address of the Hon.
Thos. C. McRae, was a decided compli-
ment to the speaker, for it is one of
the hardest things in the world to
draw fair or carnival crowd away
from the attractions on the street t.
listen to speech. Then, too, little
publicity had been given to the meet
ing owing to the uscertainty of the
place and time. Mr.. McRae without
any effort at oratorical flights, deliv-
cred a thought-provoking address
dealing with the necessity of educa-
tion for the strengthening and perpe-
tuity of democratic government, hold
ing to the theme that the more highly
educated people the freer they are.
The reception given Mr.. MeRae by
Mena people was so hearty, that on
some future day when he will not be
in competition with other attractions,
he will again come to Mena for an ad-
dress.

F. OF |. WOULD GIVE
WILSON ACHANCE|
Urges That Truce of Six Months BE
Granted by Labor in Which the
President May Reduce the
Cost of Living.

New York, Sept. Suspension of
all strikes thruout the United States
and the declaration of labor truce on
the basis of the status quo for six
months or more to enable President
Wilson to bring about reduction in
the cost of living, is recommended in
a report of committee of the New
York State Federation of Labor, made
public here today.
The recommendations urge Ameri-
can organized labor to cease wage and
hour controversies in order to increase
production and restore normal condi-
tons. They express the hope that no
new strikes will be ordered except to
relieve workers from "intolerable op-
preston"
The committee was appointed by
> James ssiifiss p p H=lllana, president of the
federation, on July 20, and made its
report after comforting with represen-
tatives of industrial, commercial, man
ufacturing, financial, transportation
and other interests with a view TO de-
vising plans to lower the cost of liv-
ing.
Business men, it explained, were in
a state of apprehension due to rapidly
changing conditions since the signing
of the armistice and industry had
been disturbed and dislocated to a de-
gree neyar before experienced.
"Your committee is convinced" says
the report, that this condition is
wrong and cannot be permitted to con-
tinue unless we-and by we your
committee means not labor alone, but
the people of the whole United States
wish to invite disaster unparallel-
ed in history The people must be
given breathing spell. There must
be suspension Of struggling for class
and party advantage. All Americans
must bend their backs to the oars and
pull steadily against the storm-tossed
waters until our boat again rides safe
ly on the placid seas of prosperity"

CARRANzA BLANES
ALL ON AMERICA
Says Mexico Is innocent of Much for
Which She Is Abused-Cares Moth
ing for League of Nations and
Less for Monroe Doctrine.

Mexico City, Sept. "A defense Of
Mexico against foreign representa-
tions, particularly from the United
States. regarding the lives of foreign
ers and their property, was contained
in a message from President Carranza
read at the opening session of the con-
gress last night. Particular reference
was made in the message to alleged
injustices practiced against Mexicans
in the United States.
A long list of the alleged offenses
was given under the section of the
address devoted to foreign relations.
The message also defended Mexi-
cos neutrality during the war and pro-
tested against charges that the Mexi-
can government was incapable and un-
willing to protect foreign lives and for
eign property.
Objects to Punitive Expedition.
In connection with the recent puni-
tive expedition to find bandits who
were holding two America aviators
for ransom, the message said
This invasion constitutes a viola
ton of our rights. Serious and with
out motive was this violation that has
deeply wounded Mexican patriotic
feeling" Reference was also made TO
numerous crossings of the border by
American airmen
The message further referred to
request by the United States for the
the punishment of bandits and cites
numerous cases showing that the gov
ernment has prosecuted guilty parties
and has met with a great measure OF
success in dealing with bandits.
AS to Neutrality.
Speaking of charges of alleged un-
neutrality by Mexico during the war,
the message said:
THE republic of Mexico observed
the conduct of absolute neutrality but
certain governments have expressed
the opinion that the government OF
Mexico had not been strictly neutral,
although they were not able to affirm
or specify any act or omission u1i inc
part of the government of Mexico
which would implicate the violation of
neutrality judging in accordance with
the most exigent principles of interna-
tional law. treaties now In force and
universally established practices On
the other hand, the rights of Mexico
as neutral we're not always respect
ed as they were entitled to because
various units of the American navy
remained in certain exceptional cases
more than twenty-four hours In our
waters while there were kept at an
chor at Tampico vessels of war under
the pfetext OF protecting their fell
low nationals"
Carranze has little use for the
League of Nations, perhaps because
Mexico was not invited to join, and de-
clares that Mexico did not recognize
and will not recognize the Monroe doc
trine. He denounces Americas de-
mands in the oil field matter. but as
serts that Mexico is on good terms
with all the nations Of the world ex-
cept Great Britain.

rested Wednesday by Deputy Sheriffs
b. w. Teeter and Mack Hughes at
Cove ON the charge of jumping his
bond to appear before United States

the arrest and detention of Fuqua,
who came to Cove about three weeks
ago, and had worked himself into the
good graces of some people he met,

STRIKES BY LAW
Senator Robinson Sees Need of Pro-
tecting Public From Loss and Suf-
fering That Threatens-Men's
Right to Quit Not Disturbed.

Washington Sept. "A law to pro-
hibit strikes and lockouts of railroad
employees, and thus protect the public
from transportation tie-ups, was adyo-
caed today by Senator Robinson, Dem
ocrat, of Arkansas, in an address to
the Senate.
THE time has come, he said, when
Congress must protect the public
against loss of life and property and
widespread suffering which will inev-
itably result If the railroads should be
tied up by a general strike The right
to strike has heretofore been recog
nized by our laws, particularly in GER
tain provisions of the Clayton act
Those laws should be modified, and
strikes of employees ON railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce, should
be forbidden"
commends Cummins Bill.
Senator Robinson's address was in
analysis and commentator of the bill
by Senator Cummins, Republican, of
Iowa, drafted by the Senate interstate
commerce subcommittee proposing a
permanent railroad policy of private
ownership and operation of railroads,
under strict government supervision.
and with a committee on wages and
working conditions composed equally
of employers and employees whose rec
concentrations would be subject to
final decision of the interstate com
merce commission.
Mems Right to Quit.
while the right of the laborers to
quit employment for any reason is rec
ognized and preserved lin the bilD,"
said Senator Robinson, combinations
or agreement to hinder, restrain, or
prevent the movement of commodities
or persons in interstate commerce, or
agreements which have that effect, are
likewise penalized. II
The provision by law of fair tri-
bunal to settle disputes between rail-
roads and their employees is, of course,
a prerequisite to any plan fairly caIcu-
lated TO relieve the country from the
menace of strikes and lockouts that
will restrain or prevent interstate
commerce. 1t is indispensable to the
comfort and life of our people that
commerce be continued, and no system
which leaves commerce subject to the
VIII of individuals or /, organizations
among them can be justified"

LIQUOR GRAIN WASTE DENIED.
England Has Pick of Yankee Prod
uct for Beer.

An investigation made by the Associa-
ton Opposed to National Prohibitions
into the claim that 625. 900. 900 bushels
OF grain are wasted annually in the pro-
duction of whiskey. beer and other
liquors. reveals the falsity OF the state
ment, the association maintains. On the
basis of the last report of the Commits
sioner OF Internal Revenue II Is shown
that only 100000 bushels OF grain
were used. 3s,74s.Ss2 TO make distilled
liquors and about 55.000.O00 for fer
mented liquors. or 100000 bushels
less than had been claimed by the ad-
vocates OF national prohibition.
II Is stated also that much of the
grain used in liquor manufacture re-
mains available for food purposes, at
least 65 per cent. available TO feed cat
tie. The association finds. therefore, that
the total number OF bushels OF grain
actually consumed in making beer is
less than three-fourths OF l per cent. of
the grain production of the country.
Meantime, 1t is noted, the British Gov
eminent now having the pick OF Amer
lean grain, is allowing more and better
beer to its people, increasing annual pro-
duction by 20.0000O0 barrels more than
was made last year.
