Rebellion Against Monopoly's Slavery "Where were the people when Madero was overthrown by a handful of disloyal troops?" asks the Muncie Press, in an editorial article taking exception to the Palladium's recent editorial article on the Mexican situation. The Press believes the troubles of Mexico are caused by "a fight for power between two or more factions of military adventurers." That turned out to be the case when Madero overturned Diaz. Madero roused the peons to his side in that revolution by promising them that he would cause the land laws of Mexico to be so amended as to give them the opportunity to become land owners. Backed by the aroused peons he succeeded in ridding the country of Diaz. Once in power, however, Madero adopted a compromising attitude towards the peons and the land question. Madero, himself, was the son of one of Mexico's greatest landowners. He eventually allowed his self-interest to overcome all other feelings of dealing justly with the great downtrodden masses of Mexicans, most of them living under conditions of actual slavery, and threw his influence against real land reform. Naturally, that course alienated from Madero the forces that had enabled him to attain the presidency of his country. He had no other course to take than to rely upon the interests he had antagonized in his dash for power, the landowning monopolists, to maintain him in his position. The peons rallied to other leaders and waged relentless rebellion against their arch betrayer, Madero, and the system of slavery and oppression he now defended. Madero, however, was a poor tool for the monopolists. He was too big a mark for the peons' resentment. And, pray, when was the traitor and betrayer ever retained long in a position of trust and responsibility by

those who profited by his dirty work? Madero was killed by the land monopolists of Mexico because, without the peons' backing, he was a poor and weak leader for their cause. In fact, his being the leader of their cause with his later history of rank betrayal weakened the land monopolists. A man of blood and iron and inhumanity like Huerta was more to their liking. And besides, such a change might weaken the insurgents by removing forever one of the great targets for their hatred and undying enmity, Madero. Call the Mexican peon-insurgents brigands, robbers, thieves, murderers, if you like. They are all that and possibly more. But they are these things because they have been driven to them through rank oppression. If the farmers of our country were deprived of their lands through process of laws drawn up by legislators working in the interests of a monopolist class ; if they had to work for the new owners of their old lands at a mere pittance and could not leave those lands because they were chained to them through a debt system that made them virtually slaves ; how long would it be until our erstwhile farmers would be in open rebellion against such a system of oppression? If that happened in the United States there would be an explosion of wrath and resentment that wTould rock the rock of ages and make the present Mexican rebellion appear like a lovers' spat! The land monopoly in Mexico is responsible for its internal troubles. Our government has demanded that peaceful conditions be restored. But they haven't and they won't until the cause for disturbing conditions has been removed. Taft, as president of the United States, proclaimed that the Mexican government forces, the monopolists, should have the right freely to import arms and ammunition, but that the insurgents, the peons in rebellion against the enslavement of themselves, their wives and children, could not import the means of warfare. In other words every opportunity was given the monopolists to maintain their sway by KILLING OFF the enemies of monopoly ; every possible obstacle was thrown in the way of those who were fighting for human rights. The Palladium's suggestion that President Wilson should revoke Taft's order and allow the insurgents to have free access to supplies of anns and ammunition was offered in good faith. Our criticism of him if he does not do so will not be founded upon partisan political considerations. We will simply feel that he, like his predecessor, is surrounded by false advisors and treacherous agents of monopoly, which is international in its scope and sympathies, and that a continuation of a Mexican policy founded, as in the past, on the idea of granting the Mexican forces of monopoly the sole right to import arms and ammunition will be due to a misunderstanding of the terrible basic wrong that is being perpetrated upon the bodies and souls of millions of poor peons and their families.

VALUE OF SILENCE Kansas City Times. If the Democrats can let the Republicans do all the debating on the tariff they will show real cleverness. It's hard to make a really effective and indignant protest when nobody is answering in the debate.

SOCIAL CERTAINTIES

"COMPETITION" By H. L. Haywood ONCE upon a time a soul, dwelling in the vast regions of the Unborn, approached a great archangel with the request, "Sir, I have a consuming desire to be born into the world that I may

enter into the game of life." The benevolent being looked with keen but loving eyes upon the young soul and smiled a deep smile. "Your request is a confusing one," he made answer, "do you not know there are three worlds wta-rein each the game is played ia a way peculiar to itself. Which world do you choose?" The eager soul was nonplussed at this for a moment then replied, "If it really be as you say then it will

be reasonable for me first to look into these three worlds and watch the three ways of playing the game that I may choose therefrom which I prefer." Feeling the wisdom of this request, without more ado the arch-angel winged his way toward a world rolling in space, the soul, eager and curious, following close behind. After a great while they approached within sight of the first of the three worlds and seated themselves on a cloud to watch the humans beneath them as they were hard at work playing the game of life. It chanced that a new inning was about to begin; at each of the bases the player was in position and the umpire stood behind the pitcher ready for the signal. On the bleachers and in the grandstand a large throng sat in orderliness and array. The young soul observed that all these persons, players as well as spectators, looked very much alike. All seemed of the same height, everyone's hair was of a flaxen color, and all were dressed in uniforms, spectators as wt-11 as players. There seemed to be no variety In appearance or action anywhere. Then the umpire cried out "play ball!" The soul looked for the pitcher to wind himself up for the delivery but he did not move; instead, the umpire took hold of the ball, threw it toward the catcher and then sped past home plate and caught it himself. Likewise in some mysterious manner he snatched the bat on his way past and struck at the ball. This strange procedure was kept up to the immense surprise of the young soul throughout the inning. Not a player moved except when the umpire lifted him like a sack and carried him about. Neither did the spectators show any interest; the umpire had to do the rooting and the shouting and thus keep the whole thing going. The players were like so many painted and ticketed dolls standing about, motionless as trees. The arch-angel interpreting aright the look of inquiry addressed to him by the soul said, "These are the people who do not believe in individualism or in competition. You will find their game rather dull; let us proceed to the next world." So they winged their flight through space until another planet hove in sight and then seated themselves as before to observe the game. In this world matters were very different indeed. No regularity or order here; all was shouting and noise and confusion; it was more like a battle-field when the melee 'has grown so fierce the men no longer heed their officers. At last a lull occurred and it was apparent that a new inning was about to begin. The spectators did not here sit quietly in orderly rows, they surged about like a wild mass in and out among the players bowling over the policemen and their clubs without much ado. The soul also noted that the players differed in size from the hugest human giant to the merest pigmy; some were as brawny as mountaineers and some were as thin as rails and as weak as kittens. But soon the game began and its going was like a great roar from the stock-yards. The moment the pitcher threw the ball every individual there began to run about and shout and yell and try to hit or catch it. In the furore, the soul saw at last how the big players with their strength ran about the bases and threw the weaker one to the ground and stamped on them and tied them with ropes so they could not move. Then the big ones did all the playing until they began to fight and quarrel, all the time swearing and raving at the men tied hand and foot because they did not get up and play. The big players fought so furiously that at last all but one or two of them were knocked out and the game had to stop; there were not enough players to keep it going. Noting the instinctive shrinking of the young soul as if he were repulsed and horrified by the scene the archangel said, "These are the folks who go in for competition and individualism for all its worth. They play without an umpire." Without awaiting a reply he arose and plunged into space, the young soul following, and sped through the depths which seemed to grow lighter and brighter as they went. Finally, after a great flight, they came near to the third world, where they stopped as before and prepared themselves to observe the great game as there played. The young soul, keenly observant, noted here conditions very different indeed from those found in the two former worlds. lie saw plainly that the players differed considerably among themselves and yet were well balanced any pretty equally matched. Up and down in front of the spectators passed guards in natty uniforms keeping everybody in order. "When some over-enthusiastic fan leaped to his feet and began to upbraid the umpire he was quietly subdued. And as for the umpire, he kept the game in order but he did not play. The players took care of that, straining every muscle and nerve, eager, electric and active they flashed about the diamond as if they could not contain the exuberance of spirits that possessed them. Whenever a player began to take advantage he was ordered to the bench by the umpire and heavily fined. Each player had his right in the game; and the game had its rights with the players. "This," exclaimed the young soul, with enthusiasm, "this is the game I desire. Here is competition and individualism, but competition and individualism in the bounds of the rules of the game. The game is protected against the players and the players are protected against the game." But when he turned to the arch-angel that mighty personage had already disappeared in the far heavens; he knew very well that any sensible young soul would vastly prefer this to any other way of playing the game of life, so he had left him there. Wise archangel!

The Theaters

"The Man From Home," written by Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson, is the play being presented this week at the Murray theater by the Francis Sayles players, who have been having a successful engagement here this summer. The performance last evening was given in a creditable manner and drew forth from the auditors more applause than any other attraction given by the players while in the city. Mr. Sayles as Daniel Voorhees Pike, the lawyer from Kokomo, Ind.. was very pleasinc. Mr. Sayles gives an excellent interpretation of the part and last evening was. greeted with applause upon every appearance. The play strikes a humorous blow at the folly of international marriages, a theme that is handled without gloves from the rise of the curtain until is fall. The four acts are laid in the Hotel Regina Margherite at Sarrento, Italy, and the chief figure, the young lawyer, of Kokomo, Indiana, taken by Mr. Sayles, stands out with particular brilliancy by the reason of his foreign setting. True republicanism seems to be the underlying spirit of the entire piece. It is certainly refreshing. The three new members of the company made their first appearance last evening. K. .T. Wohlfkeld is seen to good advantage in the part of Mariano. Mr. Wohlfield attended Purdue university and is well versed in the languages. His engagement with the company will add greatly to its success. Michele was taken by Guy Harper, another new member. The part of Horace Granger-Simpson was well taken by Del Sherrard, another new member of the company. Mr. Sherrard will be remembered by many theatre-goers here, as he has appeared in stock in this city before. He has a pleasing personality. He seems to be thoroughly at home in his part and gives a creditable interpretation of his lines. Joseph Schafer, who is fast gaining in favor with the public, does his part, that of the Grand Duke Vasila Vasilivitch, in his usual meritorious manner. Carl Adamson is taking two parts this week. He first appears in the first act as Ribere and later takes the part of Ivanoff, an escaped convict. Mr. Adamson has the knack of fitting himself to most any part assigned him. Miss Worth, leading lady, is seen this week as Ethel Granger-Simpson. Her costumes are much more attractive than usual. Miss Leroy and Miss Eyferth are well suited to their respective parts. J. J. Flynn is seen to good advantage as Lord Hawcastle. Matinees will be given Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Next week "Brewster's Millions" will be given. E. R. T.

NEVER GIVE ALL THE HEART

i -

Never give all the heart, for love Will hardly seem worth thinking of To passionate women, if it seem Certain, and they never dream That it fades out from kiss to kiss; For everything that's lovely is But a brief, dreamy, kind delight O never give the heart outright For they, for all smooth lips can say, Have given their heart up to the play And who can play it well enough If deaf and dumb and blind with love? He that made this knows all the cost. For he gave all his heart and lost. Yeats.

You're stron enough to wash the Fels-Napthi way. It's easy on the woman, easy on the clothes." Easy on the woman; easy on the clothes! That is the Fels-Naptha way of washing. Fels-Naptha Soap does away with all the hard and disagreeable part oi washing. Little rubbing, no steaming suds to bend over, no keeping up fire to boil the clothes, no nauseous odor from cooking soiled garments.
