for the United States senate on the
ballot. The Democrats had G. E. B.
Peddy, fusion candidate barred from
the ticket because he participated in
the Democratic primary. This af-
fected the 10000 Texans who voted

brought against e. B. Mayfield, Dem

| M UNICIPAL elections in England,
lvl which were taken as indication
| of the results in the coming general
elections, turned out very badly for
| the laborites, usually classed there as
| Socialists. They lost 149 seats which
| they had held in London and about
$50 seats they had held in 80 boroughs
| outside the capital.
Cuba also had elections and the
| Liberal party scored a sweeping vic
tory, increasing their representation in
the lower house of congress so much

] imperiled. 1t is worthy of note that

DRESIDENT OBREGON Of Mexico
Ia got rid of one of his most danger
| GUS enemies last week. General Muir
guia, leader of the latest revolt, was
| caught asleep in a church at Tepe-
huantes and within a few hours had
been court-martialed, condemned and
executed by a firing squad. The haste
was explained by the fact that he was
seeking legal restraints to prevent an
| immediate trial. 1t was felt in Mex
leo City that Murguia's death brought
appreciably nearer the general paeifi-
| cation of the country.
THREE notable men died last week.
| l. Father Bernard Vaughan, famous
Jesuit preacher and brother of Card
inal Vaughan, passed away in Eng
land. Thomas Nelson Page, we'll
known American author and former
ambassador to Italy, died In Virginia.

sylvania Railroad company and chair
man of the Railroad Executives asso-
citation, was found dead in a private
car at Philadelphia.
THE mixed claims commission,

D ECENTLY the federal railway Ia
IN Dor board rendered a majority
opinion rejecting "the living wage"
| theory advanced by spokesman for
railway unions. If given strict appli-
cation, it would give common laborers
! ;y,iy Of oh N
hour. and as a step toward this the
/ maintenance of way men asked a 49,
| cent minimum. The labor board, in
creasing the prevailing rate 2 cents
an hour. granted a minimum ranging
| from % to 81 cents an hour. 1t was
in connection with this decision that
the living wage opinion was given,
| the board asserting that the wage
theory of labor if given application
would wreck every road, and if ex-
tended TO other industries. would car
ry them into communistic ruin" Sam.
uel Gompers, Edsel Ford and William
Randolph Hearst all assailed this
| view. Their attacks rolled Ben w.
| Hooper, chairman of the board, and
he retaliated with singing state
ment. He gave Mr.. Gompers credit
for sincerity, marveled at the attitude
of the Hearst papers and poked fun
at young Ford. He continued:
Zone of the expert economists who
| presented the matter to the board for
the employees stated that this would
throw monkey wrench into the in
dustrial machinery and that the
theoretical living wage should not be
established all at once. but the mini
| mum should be made As cents per
hour. This would likewise create a
deficit of several hundred million dol
lars.
