X a communication. 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.

THE WRONG MEDICINE
A community is no better than the men and women who live in it. 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.".
