WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
 MEXICO

V. Blasco Ibanez, the famouse Span ish novelist says that what is the matter with Mexico is chiefly a brand of militarism based on disorder and thriving on loot. He makes clear that this is what has ailed Mexico for a long time. And in this country par tisans of the administration have pie tured the Carranza government as a noble movement for the uplift of the masses; they have declared that all those who would not believe this were tools of the exploiters of Mexico. To people of common sense it has been clear for a long time that what Mex ico needs is, as Ibanez puts it, "a public opinion that will end the rule of the gum" There are alleged states men in this country who want the United States to aid, abet and foster what has been going on in Mexico, and yet cross the seas and the conti- nent of Europe in order to undertake mandate in Armenia in the interests of suffering humanity.

A SUCCESSFUL GENERAL

By the way, Senator Harding's campaign manager proved himself mo slouch" in the big game. Avoid ing unnecessary conflicts and antag- onisms, fighting all the time for his candidate and against no other aspir- ant, following the policy of friend ship for all and entangling alliances with none," the Ohio leader kept his candidate in a position to take advan- tage of the deadlock which arose at Chicago, and which he had predicted all through the preconvention cam- paign. That Mr. Dougherty is and will continue to be one of the direct ing generals of Republican harmon izing and unifying and recongnizing all elements of Republicanism with in and without the state of Ohio will be continued. It was William Me- Kinley who said: s1t does not pay to keep books in politics." The Harding ledger account with all Republicans starts even, and the credits and debits upon it will depend upon the future service of individuals and elements to the party and country.

ON THE JOB AGAIN

Delivering labor" to the Democra- tic party is the regular biennial job of Samuel Gompers and the coterie of fellow Democrats now have man. aged to get control of the machinery of the American Federation of Labor. Being a strong partisan Democrat, with son on the administration pay roll and having been the beneficiary of all sorts of political and personal favors at the hands of the admins. tration, being, besides, an alien-born advocate of the un-Americanized cove nant of the League of Nations, it is not surprising to note that MT. Con- pers is rather more enthusiastic than usual this year in his efforts to hand over the labor vote' to his fellow Democratic politicians, doubtless there is ample warrant for the state ment of the New York World, Demo cratic organ, that no matter what happens at San Francisco MT. Com
 pers and his coterie will be against the Republican ticket in this cam
 pa:gn as they have in all previous campaigns, no matter what the can
 diGates or the issues. But it is pret. ty clear that when MT. Gompcrs has made his usual partisan fight for the Democratic ticket, and has been lick ed along with all the rest of the ad- ministration snouters, he will be of about as much value to labor as a Washington lobbyist as a last years birds nest It is high time that Re- publican labor uniOnists, of whom there is a vast number, should begin to make trouble for Mr. GOmpers in his attempt to use the power and influence committed to him for an
 other purpose for the furtherance of his own partisan and personal ends

"TURN OF THE WHEEL AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
 AND BIC FEATURE NEXT

Geraldine Farrar, Americas most famous and popular native artiste, makes her debute as Goldwyn star in a superbly staged play "The Turn of the Wheel" modern picture, a story of today, tffording her a role filled with splendid dramatic oppor- tunities.
 Her role is that of a beautiful wom- an of today, risking her all to estab- fish the innocence of a man condem- ned to death for mysterious mur- der. She is supported by cast that can we'll be billed "All-star."
 Miss Farrar knows her Monte Car To we'll. Several times she has sung in the gorgeous gold theatre in the famous Casino building, as guest of Prince Albert of Monaco, and some of her happiest operatic memories are connected with the tiny princi- ranean. For the first scenes in "The Turn of the Wheel' the broad ex- panse of the terrace has been simu- lated, and one of the notorious roul- cite rooms has been exactly dupli- cated, so that even Miss Farrar's most critical inspection was satisfied.
 In "The Turn of the Wheel her role is that of beautiful woman of today, risking her all to establish the innocence of 8 man condemned to death for mysterious murder. The production stands for all that is won derful and magnificent in the silent drama,
 On Wednesday and Thursday nights wall be shown the first Devid Wark Griffith production to be released under the banner of the United Art ists Corporation, Broken Blossoms" It is his supreme achievement, a drama of profound emotion, equisite delicacy and overwhelming force.

A SINGULAR REPORT

What is called the report OF the
lnterchurch World Movement on
the steel strike Of last autumn is
now published at great length. The
reason for such action is not very
clear unless II Is to be associated in
some way with the recent an
nouncement attributed to William
z Foster that there would be a
renewal OF the strike at some COM
paratively early date. At any rate
the controversy over the steel strike
is now renewed and with the back
ing of various persons whose names
are cited in the evident endeavor to
give support to the conclusions
reached.
And yet there is reason to be-
lieve that the public VIII not be
, moved by these names, but will
rather heed the substance OF lne
4 document. 1t was out VI sympathy
with the steel strike and refused to
support 1t las autumn and It would
probably pursue the same course
again. The report admits that such
was the case, and attempts to ex-
plain the fact by citing various rea-
sons which are alleged as due to
public fear or prejudice. As re-
needles for the existing situation
In the steel mills. the chief sugges1
tions put forward are the adoption
OF the eight-hour day, the recogni-
ton of the right of collective bar
gaining, the creation of minimum
wage commissions and the introduc'
ton of voluntary arbitration. From

Much discussion has arisen about

to make preferential rates on goous

rail and thence by American ships to
foreign countries. BY allowing Il
lew rail rate for goods so shipped.
shippers are encouraged TO, route
their freight by American lines, thus
helping TO build up our merchant
marine. Getting empty cars west
to supply the need OF industries TO
ship products east. has always been
a problem and by this arrangement,
cars can be brought west loaded I'm
stead of empty. Great Britain. Ger
many and Japan have used similar
means to build up their ocean ship

AS one ship operator said, Even
II Section 2S of our new Merchant

It gives our sea lava teeth whcch
