Senators who are investigating the murder
of American citizens in Mexico have figures to
show that more than 500 have been killed since
1910, and no PREPARATION has been obtained in a
single instance. This is surely condition Of af-
fairs which calls for drastic action and congress
seems determined to compel the Mexican govern
ment to make adequate amends, but the method
of procedure has not yet been arrived at. While
we do not want to declare war that dirty little
country and sacrifice the lives of more of our boys,
such action may yet be necessary Princeton

Like the kind Of town you ike,
You needn't slip your clothes IN grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's knock at yourself when you knock

Lest somebody else gets ahead.

Your town will be what you want to see,

VIENNA PAPERS DISCUSS
ILLNESS FOR FIRST TIME

VIENNA, Oct. 6. (By the Associated

yesterday, for the first time, editorial
comment on the illness of President

The Volksblatt says:
'"rhe spirit of the Master walked

we hoped for salvation did not see him,
nor did he grasp his mantle. He now

THIRD TICKET NOT
EVEN POSSIBILITY
IN CITY CAMPAIGN
Voters Have Change to Pick
Winner From Even Dozen
Candidates Ward
Rallies May Arouse Interest

There'll be no third ticket in the race
for city offices.
Therefore the campaign will be waged
on the issues now before the people, or
on such issues as the candidates them
selves may raise as the campaign pro-
crosses.
The Citizens League ticket started
out with rather unusual platform,
which was supplemented by statements
from the candidates as to their stand
on several questions.
j, j, Williams, as Is his usual wont
these IS years past, laid low. like Brer
Rabbit, but subsequently came along
with an almost Identical platform, to
which he also added several declara-
tons as to his stand in answer to uues-
ions asked by a group of women vo-
tiers, by the city school teachers and
The voters, therefore, or those Of
them who are not controlled by the
city political machine, Which Is ready
to back Mr., Williams to the limit, will
have to make up their minds from the
personal and political records of the
candidates, which will be the more apt
to keep their campaign pledges.
The campaign, which Monday begins
the fourth week before the election
promises to be enlivened to some ex-
tent by several ward rallies, at which
some of the candidates on either ticket
are expected to begin to get down to
concrete facts, and get away from the
glittering generalities which have
marked their public utterances thus
far.
As matter OF fact but one public
rally has been held, that of the Citi-
zens' ticket, week ago at CASTOR
park, The Williams ticket was held
no rally vet except those for workers
at headquarters. Several are TO be held
this week for both tickets and the pres
emit outlook Is that some OF the charges
which have thus far been only limited at
may be- talked right ont In meeting.

at It's regular meeting Monday voted to

opening Of theaters, pool and billiard
parlorS and similar places on Sundays.
Officers Of the association refused to
allow publication OF the exact text OF
the letter, but intlmated that the ques
ton of Sunday baseball was not in
cluded.
The matter first came UP for informal
discussion at the weekly meeting Of the
Methodist Pastors association week

for that organization.
The candidates have been called upon
to amplify the declarations in their plat =

the suffrage leagues was presented ia
them and was cordially Endorsed by
candidates on both tickets,

THE settlement is highly satlsfac-
tory, There is greater value in II than
appears at first sight"
With dramatic suddenness in the
quiet Of the London Sunday afternoon
II was announced to people waiting in
Downing street that the great railway
strike was settled, and that the strik-
ers would resume work as quickly as
possible.
The terms are in the nature of a
compromise. The national union Of
railwaymen agreed to call off the
strike, and the government consented
to renewal of the negotR tions, and
the continuance of the existing wage
scale for another year, instead of six
months as previously offered, and the
establishment of Il minimum wage of
81 shillings while the cost of living Is
ITO per cent above the pre-war level.
The settlement was the result Of n
long conference yesterday between the
trades unions, including representatives
of the railwaymen's union. and Premier
Lloyd George and Andrew Bonar Law
i'm the famous conference room In
Downing street Prior to this there
was a cabinet meeting.
II is conceded on all sides that the
settlement Is the outcome Of the mod
crate, but determined efforts Of the
executive OF the transport workers
federation and men like Arthur Hen
derson and John Robert Clynes. who
throughout have set their faces steadi-
ly against the idea Of a sympathetic
strike until every possible avenue Of
mediation had been explored
