THE INDUSTRIAL UNREST
During this period of social un
rest, and at a time when so many
self-styled political economists are j
announcing panaceas for .the discon
tent now spreading over the entire
world, it is well to study some of
the practical plans suggested, al
though we may wisely repudiate the
great mass.
The Gazette has on several occa
sions 'directed attention to t';<r fact
that laboring men who own or are
paying for their homes are seldom
found in the ranks of those who are
keeping, the world disturbed. Such
persons are loth to lose time, as
they make their calculations upon
the amounts they will receive
monthly and cut their cloth accord
ingly*.
The man, however, whose estate
is pn/his back, with no certain place
of abo.ile, and whose wont it is to be
an itinerant, who repudiates all re
sponsibility. has hut little to lose in
walkouts. But the man who is
struggling to pay for his home, or
who has emerged with the title in
his possession, is generally a good
citizen, and seldom found in the
ranks of strife-breeders.
We have at times suggested that
more interest should be manifested
in the formation of building asso
ciations for the( benefit of those
who may desire to own homes.
In this day of a plethora of money
a few dollars saved each month
would enable mechanics and won -
ing men generally to take stock in
such organizations, borrow money
and eventually purchase homes as
many in Alexandria have done dur
ing the past half a century. Many
others not having families could
take stock in such associations, and
the dividends declared would in r
f?w years prove more satisfactory
than,.in. many other investments.
The Washington Herald yester
day propounded the following ques
tions:
"Isn't industrial unrest more a
matter of the possession of perso
nal property than anything else?
In the smaller cities the working
men own their own homes' They
pay taxes just as their employers,
do and in many instances own more
property and pay more taxes than
the employer who is struggling to
make a hard-pressed business come
to a success. Home owners,
whether of the so-called laboring
class have a different outlook on
life than do those who? own no
homes. They have stability, a sense
of pride in the community, a stren
uous antagonism toward ''direct
action." In the bis; cities on the
other.hand, and in the large indus
trial centers, too few working men
^tre. home owners." .

FRICTION WITH MEXICO
?According to dispatches printed
?
today, another American has been
r^rr7;'-* ?
jmurdered in Mexico. This -ri latest
announcement coming at a time
when the United States is already
aroused at the defiance of the neigh
boring country incident to the ar
rest' of Consular Agents ^Jenkins,
another;.?subject of the-' jjLJi$t|d
fStates, has added considerable "fuel
!to the flames.
It has been suggested that Mex
ico, so far. has not been guilty of a
'casus belli, and until she is judg
ment should be suspended and the
;State Department allowed to Handle
.the matter in a diplomatic manner.
It has been suggested that '"the
Mexican Government's reply to our
State Department in the Jenkins'
vase'is1 );ound technically as'a state
ment of international laAV. , A; qon
sular agent does not, in the ab
sence of special compact, enjoy.- im
munity from arrest for crime or for
iffenses against the government of
Jte foreign country in which he is
-esiding; and if Jenkins was in <;oi
'usion with the bandits to prefer \ a
''alse claim against Mexico, we can
not and should not protect him. If.
n addition, the effect of his con
spiracy with the enemies of the
varraiiza administration was to dis
?redit and weaken it at home and
ibroad. the latter has still another
ipparently good reason for refusing
o interfere. The plea- thwt the
ase is in the hands of the local
uthorities at Puebla, and that/the
vfcxican Constitution forbids the
President to interfere in the affairs
'i the various'states, .sets up.rfi df
'??nse which we .have often made
k * ' V
arsflves, but which sincerity. .jon
he part of Mexico which does not
ft en allow, its constitution to stand
V the way bf dictatorial action."/
?Friction with Mexico is, chronic.
Vhile that country has ever been
nfe.sted with irresponsible bands.
;c have preferred to believe the
ovenmeht proper prefers to settle
isputes with the United States in
neighborly manner.
Many years ago a native of Mex
?o became a citizen of the United
'?tates. He printed a paper some
here in Texas. Like some knights
f the quill, he supposed it was his
?rerogative to attack everything in
i>."ht. One of his first, targets was
the Mexican government. He later
visited the land of,, the Montezumas
.? : *' . f '*? ' ' " ? ' ' " * ?'
and- distributed - copies- of--his---paper;r
He was arrested when he appealed
co1 Uri rtetf^SWtfe 'for projection'/'
After - "wrt'HanfreV orf 'notes" ft"'became "j
apparent that this country had no \
case against Mexico.
