SMASHES DEMOCRATIC
CONTROL BY SHIFTING

And now another Democrat has
"seen the light" According to the
Kansas City Star, State Senator Bur-
ton, Democrat, is the political sensa-
tion of the hour. He has turned
squarely against his Democratic
brethren and is voting with the Re-
publicans on important questions.
His vote gives the Republicans ma
jority of one, as the Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor always can break the tie. Ad-
ministration and lower house are Re
publican, but before Burton decided
to change sides it was blocked in the
senate, where gag rule was being
put in effect against the Governor.
Burton said he voted with the Repub-
licans because the Democrats were
unfair to the Republicans and were
playing politics in blocking Republi-
can legislation.
President Protein Harris of the
senate likened Burton to Judas Isca-
riot and Benedict Arnold for voting
with the Republicans. Burton de-
Tended himself in a hot reply. At
any rate Democratic control over the
legislature is definitely broken for the
first time in many years. =,

Thrift Week Gave Impetus to Sale
of u, S. Certificates.

That the people in the five states of
the Seventh Federal Reserve District
took National Thrift Week" seriously
is reflected by the sales of the 800 and

Illinois, Indiana, Iowa Michigan and
Wisconsin. According to reports from
the field men sent in from the states to
district headquarters, the total sales of
the certificates for the week endin g

| is class interest against general well
fare. 1t is subservience to class
| against courageous loyalty to all.
Every candidate for Congress, every
aspirant for presidential nomination
in either party, will be subjected to
the test prescribed by the radical
labor leaders. Class interest is organ
ized-general welfare is not.
"But even though unorganized, pro-
ponents of general welfare should not
be inactive. They ask nothing adj
verse to the proper claims of organic
ed labor. They ask nothing for the
people as whole that will not be en-
joyed by the members of labor unions
as well. True, the promotion of gen.
eral welfare is adverse to the inter
ests of those labor leaders who thrive
upon dissension, but every forward
step in national industry and enter
prise means more prosperous condi-
tions for all.
Zone of the definite issues present
ed by radical labor leaders involves
the proposed anti-strike clause of the
Cummins railroad bill That bill pro-
vides government tribunal to deter
mine controversies between railroads
and employees concerning wages and
working conditions, and then makes
it unlawful for either employers or
employees to undertake any action
that will interfere with interstate
commerce. The bill expressly reserves
to every man the right to quit for any
h,tt tnI
that will interrupt traffic. Some la
Dor leaders declare that if this bill
becomes law, it will be violated
The plan is sound, is just to both en-
ployer and employee, and will promote
the general welfare at the same time

that it secures to the employee a
better method of settling controver-
sizes than he has now. True, it will
deprive those labor leaders of some of
their power, and will place that power
in a government tribunal, but the in
terests Of few are scarcely to be con-
sidered in preference to the welfare
of all.
another issue is that of the right
of man to be protected in taking
employment even though he holds no
union card. 1t is the purpose of radi-
cal labor leaders to secure the election
of men who believe in the unioniza-
tion of all employments, including
the police and fire departments of ci-
ties and the clerical forces of govern
ment departments and bureaus. All
that is asked by advocates of the gen.
eral welfare is that man shall not
be deprived of his right to earn liv-
ing because he does or does not be-
long to a union.
"The issues are not only clear but
are vitality important, for they in

or of certain labor leaders. sin every

Villa Threatens Mining Com panies' Men With Death

PRICE PLACED ON HEAD
Mexican Authorities Offer 100000 Pesos For His
 Capture Or Death

FL PASO, Tex, May 24 - The Mexican State of Chihuahua today offered a reward of one hundred thousand pesos for the death or cap ture of Gen. Francisco Villa, bandit chieftain.
 Villa is reported to have demand ed 0,000,000 from officials of American and foreign-owned mining companies as his price for allowing out molestation. He accompanied his demands with threats of death and destruction unless they were met, dispatches received here said.
 Soon after the successful revolu- tion against the late President Car ranza broke out less than three weeks ago, Villa was reported to have laid down his arms and prom ised the revolutionary leaders he would retire from military and poli- tical activities.
 Later he announced that his prom ise was conditional upon the pro visional government at Mexico City carrying out certain guarantees apart from pledges of personal safety for Villa and large land grant.
 Last week he was summoned to appear before Gen. P. Elias Gales. revolutionary commander, to explain his action in making prisoner and holding for ransom an American official of mining company at Bo- quillas, but so far as known he did not obey the summons.
 What force he now has under his command also is not definitely known.

DENIES DU FONTS AIDED

WASHINGTON, May "A. - Eff teen thousand dollars in New Jer-- sey was the largest amount expend- ed by Gen Woods campaign or ganization in any one state, Frank H. Hitchcock, former Postmaster General and now managing Gen. Woods campaign for the Republican nomination for President, testified today before the Senate Committee Investigating campaign expenses.
 The second largest expenditure for one state, $12,500, was made in Maryland, Hitchcock told the com mittee. In New York and other states where vigorous campaigns were made Wood supporters in each state contributed the necessary funds without assistance from the campaign organization, he said.
 The greatest campaign expenses for all of the Presidential candi- dates participating were incurred in big primary fights such as those In Illinois and Ohio, Hitchcock declar- ed. He added that he had had noth- ing to do with these, as he had not favored making contests for the dele gations of those states.
 Hitchcock denied that the Du Pont Powder interests contributed to Woods expenses in Delaware. He said that the Michigan campaign was financed locally and that less than S10 GOO was SDent bV the local organ ization in New York State.
