That’s quits : item to th- effect
that our old i'rir.r.d l’ar.rie Vitla

Tho end of Villa is not immediate
ly in sight and it is quite safe to say
that every day that tho ViKa i tiasa
continues, tho danger of interven
tion loading to war increases.
I’OBSibly and indeed very prcbably
Villa will thou have succeeded in do
ing what he has been wail paid to
»lo, for it is dollars to doughnuts
that the men who framed up the
banditry of Villa, the border out
rages wem those who have been urg
ing in their longing for American
intervention that they ths more
surely fasten their reeking grip
upon the spoils they have acquired
in Mexico,
And now comes Charles Herron
konwn of old in this neck of the
woods with the toga of the sage
wrapped around him wisely foretell
ing that the immortal Roosevelt
will be the republican nomination.
Possibly Herron has had access
to secrets of the party which are de
nied commoner mortals, but really
it requires no prophet to foresee that
if Roosevelt is not himself nomi
nated, he will control the nomina
tion of the republican::.
Roosevelt is the one man that
knows himself and speaks out ac
cording to the knowledge that lie
thinks he has. And because he
does and because ho appears to
know, ninny listen to him. At least
in nil tho republicans, stand pat or
insurging, he alone never lost liirn
,lf in the clouds of up-ilfting bo
wild -rmcr.t or in the mazes of de
spairing reaction. He knew where
he was at all the time, and because
he did and because most men dr.
not, ho is likely to bo the choir ■
even against the feelings ai d senti
ments of the greater portion of th
party.
The republicans are suffering from
a condition of office hunger. Of all
the pangs that official defeat brings,
none equals that of the office hnngrv !
holly. That gnaws 1 : the worm;
that dteth not and burns like the :
tire that is not quenched. These ii. ;
their agony turn towards loaders
for consolation and are anxious to |
center their lio|>es upon any charla
tan just so as lie can give them con-:
solution and even cure by faith To,
what leader may they tirn then who I
lias tho certain confidence in him- j
self that Roosevelt shows? To what
man of them all may they turn to find
one who diagnoses with tho certain
ly and proscribes with the positive
confidence that does Roosevelt?
Roosevelt does not split hr irk
nor feed the hungry republicans
upon elevating maxims of sententi
ous philosophy, nor argue with the
skill of a scholiast upon some nar
row platitude.
Roosevelt may be wrong. Roose
velt may be hopelessly in error
Roosevelt may be an unadulterated
humbug. Roosevelt may be a feign
ing hypocrite. Roosevelt may be a
political mountebank and a charla
tan. But Roosevelt will admit non-?
of these things. He says with no
uncertain voice ‘‘I know", and be
cau.iO he says it not unccrta'nly and
people hear him report it with em
phatic confidence, they believe he
does know. Becaues he beards the
lion of opposition and declares that
it can be conquered; while the rest
are discussing ways and means of
conquering, he has already set forth
declaring that he will conquer and
knows he will, the republican party
turns to him as the savior for them
all.
_f
Whon the Pacific Mail went out
of existence many and elaborate
were the requiems that newspapers
and officials wrote upon its demise
[Tears if!le tears of which no one was
jin doulit as to the moaning, fell free
ly over the mourning pages and
[mingled with blackness of the in’;
adding to the melancholy of the oc
casion. And one and all of these
undertaking scribes referred with in
dignation to the fact that the base
slayer of the great and good com
pany was tlie Seaman's Act.. The
hands of the Act were stained with
the blood of a just corporation
which with the help of God and
Chinese sailors had kept old Glory
fluttering in the breeze among tin,
sampans and the "them spicy garlic
smells" that make up the east.
And Manager Schwerin with his
eyes swollen with too much ween
ing, poor dear man, repeated again
and again that his company was
consigned to an untimely grave bv
reason of the rents made in its sac
red body by the felonious Seamen s
bill.
Schwerin was the Mark Anthony
who strove to rouse the masses
against Brutus Furuseth and the
rest not exactly on the public forum
i but in the highways and byways oi
our national literature as expound
[ ed by the Frisco Examiner and the
Chronicle. There he preached his
funeral oration upon the body of
Caesar Pacific Mail. He came to
bury tiie defunct corporation not to
praise it; the evil that men do lived
after thorn and the good was oft
interred with their bones, so let it
be with the dead coolie nianneo
Pacific Mail. And then ho enlarged
upon the utterance and showed
where tlie daggers of the conspirat
ors hail violated that sacred corpo
ration and the blood had rushed
out of doors, good Oriental blood,
"to be resolved if Uncle Sam so un
kindly knocked or no".
That's ancient history. The mob
didn't rise to Mark Anthony
Schwerln eloquence. On the con
trary they enjoyed his discomfiture
because they knew he was feigning
But still the echoes of his allega
tions were echoed in the kept press
and that Madam has been weeping
herself to death over that untimely
victim of .“legislative and labor
hate”.
What is then one’s astonishment
—and what will Madam The Kept
Press have to say when here Is the
Oriental Alliance Steamship Co
about to place a fleet of transpacific
liners on the routes to the east man
ning it not with coolies but Amer
icans. and flying the flag that was
supposed to have been, hauled down
for ever? Have they never heard of
the Seamen’s Bill? Have they never
heard of Mark Anthony Schwerib
and his funeral oration? Have they
not read of the mournful obse
quies as reported by Madam? And
i s it possible that they also court
tlie death that befell the Pacific
Mail, whose untimely lot set the na
tion a-weeping?
There's an article or rather the
beginning of a series of articles in
the Scientific American on Industrial
Preparedness. The writer who is an
efficiency expert says that they must
demand co-operation and not con
scription. Any time that co-opetn
tlon is demanded and obtained as
something which must be given,
that time it is no longer co-opera
tion but conscription. And thut’s
just what is intended.
These are great days for those
with a preparedness bee in their
bonnets. But they arc likely to have
others discussing preparedness be
sides themselves and' their class.
There are many kinds of prepared
ness, but so far all that have re
ceived attention and have been men
tioned are preparedness to aid the
rich man, aid him in holding what
tie has or In getting more.
But suppose the workers wake
up and realize their immense
strenth and proceed tp organize to
get more of the product of their
labor. How about It? What about
that brand of preparedness? Thoro's
an Industrial preparedness that
seems to '•ft' r improved conditions
to those who really need ir And
it is a pro*,: ledness that^is to re
ceive more and mere attention as
time goes on.
The election of Danie'. Hoan.
socialist, mayor of Milwaukee shows
if it shows anything that radicalism
may be side tracked but it cannot 1 e
destroyed. It's really the most sig
nificant of the happenings in the
tecent election. Not that it will
bring about the millenium, not that
it will improve the condition of the
workers, nor that Hoan will insti
tute any other policy but a reform
policy favoring the tax payer, espe
cially .the small tax payer. It will
have nothing revolutionary about it,
but will he highly respectable and
bourgeois as all those things are,
I usually.
But it directs attention to tin
fact that although things are
booming and democratic prosperity
is real enough in the east for the
employers, the democrats have no
cinch on position. In fact the entire
election reports indicate that, the
people have no confidence in demo
cracy any more than progressivism,
that those who are ultra radical
among the little business men pro
ceed to join the socialist party while
those who are not, line up with
the party of big* business, the repub-i
licans.
Even a Wilson could not revive
for any length of time a partv |
j which has been moribund these j
I score years. But Wilson did very j
well.
Every person has taken a shot at
secret diplomacy and sighed for the
administration or official who would
play the game open and above board.
And not without very good reason.
If there lias been anything well
proved by a variety of green, white,
red, blue and yellow books issued
officially by the belligerent nations,
it is that secret diplomacy was one
of the most important means
whereby this war was possible.
It was to be the glory of the
the Wilson administration and ot
America that secret diplomacy was
to go, and that there would be per
mitted to the said secret diplomacy
none of the right to build the pit
falls for the nation, that had been
j built by It in other countries.
And here are ambassadors, wise
^ men and diplomatic, urging that the
| I'nlted States code he changed be
I cause all nations know it. The
dotit take the stand that they can
i know it and bo damned—that the
I'nlted States is not playing a game
of cards when playing at diplomacy,
I but has a cause right, just ana
honorable which it cared not should
all men know—nay, that it would
welcome if they could undeystanu
as well as know it.
Instead there is the same anxiety
for the diplomatic moves to be secret
that the other fellow know not
whereof the government writes—
that it would welcome if they could
understand as well as know it.
Instead there is the same anxiety
for the diplomatic movc3 to be secret
that the other fellow know not
whereof the government writes—
that diplomacy is a deadly danger
ous game the moves wherein an
other nation mu3t never know, be
cause all nations are potential ene
mies.
Queer, isn't it, that after all the
loud-voiedc remarks about secret
diplomacy the i'nited States repre
sentatives betray an anxiety to play
.it in the same way and for the same
purpose as the other nations—that
international distrust Is the rule
that must be recognized without
exception, and the cardinal policy
is to conceal the facts, not to make
them know lest in their cunning the
country be wronged by other na
tions.
The easiest thing in the’world i3
to be high-minded on paper.
