Mi'. Mcars denies that the Hughes alliance lias attempted to inject the religious issue in the campaign and says it is the Mail Tribune that lias done it. The Mail Trilmiie has not appealed to the religious prejudices of its readers to secure votes, as local officials of tin; Hughes alliance have. The Miiil Trilume lias not produced a photoplay of fake scenes with the object of arousing religions prejudice, at the polls, as the national republican committee has. The Mail Tribune has not sent out circular letters seek ing to stir up religious sirue to muiience uic electorate, as the National Hughes alliance has. The Mail Tribune inerelv chronicled facts. lut it is not the appeal to religious prejudice that olfeiids Mr. Mcars or. the Hughes alliance it is the publicity. -Mr. Mcars floes not criticise the actions of the league or the national committee Mr. Mcars states that his "blood boils with indigna tion" over outrages to Americans in Mexico. But it did not boil enough to produce the steam needed to send him to the border in the militia. The social injustice of our industrial system kills more Americans every year than have been killed in -Mexico in the six years of revolution and yet Mr. Mcars' blood is not boiling over these wrongs at home. Four years ago Mr. Mcars' blood was boiling over the. rape of the republican party by Messrs. Penrose, names. Root, et al., and he stumped the county championing a pro gram of social reform that lias largely been enacted into law by the president. Yet today he has joined forces with the reactionary bosses he then repudiated to defeat the further realization of these reforms. If Mr. Mears isnt careful, so much blood boiling will produce a pimple. BLOCKADE, BLACKLIST AND LIVING HIGH COST OF To the Editor ol the .Mail Tribune: I have read your editorial In the Hall. Trillium entitled, "Injecting the Religious Issue." You state in your editorial that an attempt Is being made by the local Hughes Alliance to Inject the religious Issue In the Vomica! campaign. This is absolutely false. You are the one (hat Is in jecting the religious issue. You are the one that has raised the Issue. The w hole pollry of your editorials in tills campaign seems to stir up class and religious prejudice. The Hughes Alliance, both locally and nationally, is composed of men and women of all classes and all creeds. Than): tiod, we do not ask a man or woman where he comes from or what his religion is. We are American citi zens and we stand for American prin cipals, one of which is that no class or religious distinction shall have a place In our form of government. My blood boils with indignation when I hear of our American women being outraged in Mexico. Whether these women arc Protestant mission aries or Catholic nuns, or are the wives of American worklngmen, 1 am filled with indignation at these out rages nnd protest against it. They are American citizens, they are our women and ought to be protected. Uecauso American .men protest against these outrages on our women in Mexico, are they to be accused of stirring up class and religious Issues? Wo stand for religious liberty for all men and all women of all classes. A man or woman, who tries to stir up religious prejudice is an enemy of the republic. FRED W. MEARS. Chairman of Publicity Committee of the Hughes Alliance. LORM ANY, under stress of a war blockade which even GLORM vet fifty-odd years ago, is willing to pay enormous prices for sucii commotio les as can be delivered to ner einier bv ilockade runners or secret Iv through the neutral countries of Holland, Denmark, Norwav and Sweden. It is the juiciest plum that a Chicago meat packer or a tlown east dollar lord has spied hi a generation. I here s hundreds ol millions in it. Rut the allies, also see the plum and thev have their lird guns loaded against those whose mouths water to pick it. The mails for America are opened to get at, secret cor respondence between the blockaded Germans on the other side and the American capitalists on this side who are not satislietl with the high prices thev get tor loods and other necessities m America itsell, but long to triple their protits at Germany s expense. YV hen the correspondence reveals a secret blockade runner over Here tlie allies prolnbit tlicir subjects troni tloing business with him. J Ins is the I anions blacklist. The state department at Washington is deluged with bricks ol agonv and howls tor retaliation lrom meat pack rs, cotton speculators and others of that ilk whose greed sees niultirtoi'tunes made in a year or two, lading over the horizon. The common people of America should worrv. Tlie meat packers, for instance, tell us that the law of supply and demand is the reason we are paying so much ot our earnings tor beet and pork. I he supplv lor our Imgr population is low, therelore the prices are higher, hut ll a lot of that supply is permitted to go to (ierinauy, Austria, nulgaria and 1 urkev it s verv plain that prices will go so li i 12 li in this couiitrv that onlv the rich will be able to eat meat.

If you and L do ill our community suffers. lint it is useless U look f 'r for the rem edy. The real remedy is near at hand. It is we who are able to kill or cure. The wrong medicine kills the medicine that bears the out-of-town label. But the tonic that cures is the practice of "trade-at-home." Let us all each one of us from this day on practice and preach "trade at home." Railroad stocks which for months had been inactive under the threat of a strike, are from five to ten points higher today than the day the eight-hour law was passed just a little over two weeks ago. This is the real answer of Wall street and the investing public to the claims of the railroad presidents and man agers that the action of the president and congress was a blow at the prosperity of the country in general ami of the railroads in part icular. Wall street denounces Wilson for preventing a railroad st l ike, in t he onlv wa v it eoutil have oeeii prevented, charg ing him with tinning over the industries of the country to the labor unions. And then Wall street says by its acts by its pocket book acts that the thing the president and congress did added hundreds of millions to the value of these same industries. In the language of the New York World: "Cursing I 'resident Wilson is Wall street's favorite amusement, but capitalizing his statesmanship is its most profitable in-diislrv.".
