WASHINGTON NEWS By Edward Keating The Republican campaign managers axe majking a desperate effort to dis credit. the cLCCd kibcr laiw which I had Uie honor to introduce in the House of Represertteitiiveo and which was forced tQ trough the senate by President Wd’tson after the cotton-jnlU lc/thy had dmetgincd that it had suc ceeded in pigeonholing it. The opponents realdze that this was one cf tine most popu lar pieces of legislation enacted by thte laet congress and that dt has drawn hundreds of thousands of Pro gressives to the Wilson banner. In crd .r to confrs: the publr'.c mind some of the Rejpaiibliccci papers are shouting that there is a “joker” in tine law. The reprjtf.ible| Republican leadens lvave refused to be parties to the fake but the “smaill-fry” pol iticians are very bo?y spreading the storyu Of ccunse, there is not a word of truth- in the yarn. The ch:sd labor bill was careflul’y drawn ar.dj every provdsden was scrutinized be fere be ing “O. K.’d.” Republicans Who Supported Bill. Suoih, eminent Republicans as Sen ators La Fcfllette, Ounmr.iiine,! Clapp and Ecra/li were among the dhaanp ions cf the bill in the senate. Do our Republican friends believe that those men -would enter into a con sp'racy to tunco td e cOldrep, of the cctumitry?

Sera'or Owen of Okla homa. most progressive cf Democrats Senator Join W. Kern of Indiana and Senator Joe Robinson, great law yers and great Democrats, were among thoc© who guided the bill through the senate. ■Would these men enter fmito a con spiracy to foist a cruel fraud on help 'lees c&i'lidren? And finally, wcu’d Prasildent Wil son, hems elf a great lawyer, tolerate such a vile fake? Cf course not. TT. e thing is un thin/katHe, and serve® to demonstrate tliat our Republican flniends Hind themsicCvee In a position where the truth/ will no longer serve them and ft/kvey must resort to falsehoods. Secretary Wilcon’s Statement. Secreatry cf Labor William B. Wil son (has prepared a statement In re ply to tlie Republican attacks' and he has sent, me a copy. It 4s bo clear and temperate that I am pres enting it herewith, os fioClows: “My Dear Mr. Keating: “The much talked about joker in the child labor law is supposed to be contained in that portion of sec tion one cf the act which reads as fo!Cows>: .“That no producer, manufacturer cr dealer shall sh*p or deliver for shipment in interstate or foreign commerce any article or commodity the product of any mine or quarry, situated in the United Stales, in wllTcih within fclDrty days prior to the time of ti e removal cf fudi product therefrom children under the ago of sixteen years have been em ployed or permitted to wedk, cr any art idle or commodity’ the product of any mill, cannery, wcrki-ihop, factery, or manufacturing establishment, sit uated in the Ujifiled States, in whUlcGi within thirty days prior to the re moval of euclL product therefrom children under the age of fourteen years hone been employed cr per mitted to work, or children between the agefi of feurteen years and six teen years have been employed or permitted to week mone than eight h.ours in any day. or mere than six days in any week, or after the hour of seven o'clock poet meridan, cr be fore the hour cf six o’clock antemer •idan. “No one familiar wdtli. industrial practices would for a moment imag ine that any pereon or corporation oj>crating a mine, quarry, mill, work shop, factory- or manufacturing es* ta/bitelinxmt would regularly store their product ftr thirty days in or der that they might employ child la bor, aiid fo the eeasonal industry of canning is Fef fcrtlh as -the best il lustration of the alleged defect in the law. It is asserted that all a canner las to do is to store his product for thirty days which he us ually does anyway, and then he can fluip it where he wdll. “The People who make that asser tion fail to realize the difference be tween a cannery’ and a warehouse. The warehouse may be situated un der the same roof as the cannery or under a separate roof; it may be only a foot away or it may be miles that is immaterial to thie law. “WILLIAM 1 B. WILSON, “Secretary cf Labor.” The Chicago Journal, the leading Willson paper In the state of Illi nois, in a recent issue hold this to “Mr. Keating divides with' Presi dent Wilson the honor of putting through* the child labor laiw.

Klais* Book Store Sanitary Soda Fountain All the Latest Drinks Candies Periodicals SERVICE j* Williams’ Livery PHONE, CENTRAL 19 CHANGE OF DATE A ROTTEN REPUBLICAN SHOW REPUBLICAN FILM TOO RAW TO SHOW “Watchful Waiting” Insult to President Shelved by Na tional Committee. IT DRAGGED IN RELIGION Picture Prepared by Hal Reid Showed Convent and Sisters of Charity in a Story Grotesquely Revolting. It was n remarkable piece of cam paign news the New York World let oose n few days ago—a story of dirty methods to bolster up the political ortunes of u floundering candidate. According to the World the Republi can National Committee had a mul :lple reel film prepared, entitled ‘Watchful Waiting,” to be distributed }y the committee and displayed under :lie auspices of, or by arrangement with, the various Republican State Committees. The Committees even lad prepared circulars advertising the jlcture to be sent broadcast over the xmntry to County Chairmen. According to this circular, the 'movie” story begins with the be rothal of John Martin to Marlon Loin mrd. Martin, a United States troop »r. Is called to Mexico, w’here he Is tilled by one of Villa’s followers. Jpon the death of her betrothed Marion becomes a Sister of Charity md is sent to Mexico to nurse wound •d soldiers. ‘‘ln the meantime,” says the circul ar, ‘‘the followers of Huerta shoot lown the American ting. Mr. Wilson organized a tleet of battleships, which ae sends to Vera Cruz to demand hut Huerta apologize and salute the American ting, but with orders to the United States murines to withhold Ire. “Sometime later Villa and Ids fol owers make n night attack on Coluin ius, N. M. Immediately follows the 2arrlznl light. Villa and his followers make an attack on the convent and Irag the Sisters Into the brush, leuv ng them to die. Marion, rather than meet sueh n fate, kills herself. “The heads of both the Protestant ind Catholic churches sent |>etitious :o Wilson, whose ears are deafened to their entreaties, and he sleeps peace fully at his desk. "Views of both Col. Roosevelt and Gov. Hughes will he tnken In con lunetlon with this picture, hut cannot jc described at tills writing.” Denounced by Reid's Own Friends That Him was prepured at a cost >f $35,000. and Its director, Hal Reid, years ago was sentenced to prison on a charge of assault on a variety ac tress. Ih» served thirteen months In :he Stillwater (Minn.) Penitentiary when he was pardoned and exonerated >f the charge. Some of Mr. Reid's friends, when told of his new photoplay, expressed themselves. In substance, as follows; “I do not believe that I have ever listened to anything that shows so much real rottenness In politics as tills Idea of the Republican National Com mittee.” “It ls_ tlie most disgusting thing I ever listened to.” “It constitutes n series of deliberate und studied Insults to the Nation's chief executive.” “I think It will go n long wny to ward heating Mr. Wilson,” said Reid to a reporter for the World. “First, I ■how Villa peering through the hush es. Then there is sub-title reading ‘Why didn’t President Wilson stop the war In Europe by putting an em bargo on all exports to all European countries alike, except on foodstuffs?’ “Next I show Vera Cruz. A launch filled with American sailors Is seen iipprouching the wharf. Then I show the wharf and Mexlcuns, armed, stand ing there. They fire on the boat I show the officer In the boat picking up NUW YORK WORLD the American flag riddled with bulk# holes. "And then I show the President asleep at his desk. I show that all through, a dozen times or more —the President asleep. I show It after the attack on Columbus and after Carri zal and after the nuns are attacked.” The motion pictures were taken near New York. Some of them were prepared at n studio at Cliffside, N. J. Some of the “Mexican” scenes were photographed at Sheepshead Bay, near Coney Island. Other pictures were taken at Rockaway Point —the Vera Cruz of the picture. “A Corker,” Says Colby. Everett Colby, as Chairman Will cox’s representative, was present at the photographing of a number of the scenes, lie called the film "a corker.” The day following the World’s ex pose, tlie film was privately screened for George W. Perkins, Herbert Par sons, James B. Reynolds, Candidate- Hughes’ confidential secretary. Chairman Willcox’s private secretary and other members of the Republican committee. A pow-wow followed. A couple of days later, an expurgat ed. denatured and devitalized edition, was thrown on the screen for menw hers of the Republican National Com»- inittee. They found the "historic facts” sadly less Interesting than the advance notices promised. They did. not even gaze on the picture of (* pseudo President Wilson asleep at Ills desk, while the toning down of the scene of the attack on the Catholic nuns had robbed It of any value us a thriller. • So the committeemen agreed that, for Republicans, "Watchful Waiting” was not a success, that Its defects could not he overcome; and that, the proper place for It was the shelf. So the “scene closes” with Chairman Willcox writing a letter to Hal Reid saying the film could not be used, but commending Reid for his zeal the zeal paid for with Republican money, which sought to drag religion into the campaign. A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG. Nothin# so forcibly reveals the des perate situation at the Republican Na tional Campaign Headquarters us their ittempt to discredit President Wilson’s Mexican policy by a “Movie” picture directed by a pardoned convict whose Idea of a “thrill” is a scene showing nuns being ravished ami whose con ception of patriotism is the President asleep at Ids desk. Hut after all the principal is respon sible for tlds agent. Hal Reid was on ly trying to earn the S.V>,OOO appropriat ’d by the Republican National Com mittee for a film which now stinks so loud they don’t want to get within smelling distance of it. And they ex.- cuse themselves by saying they never knew it would he so rotten ! The point Is tills—it wasn’t too rotten If they could got away with It. They were caught In the net of trying to "put It over.” They were caught in the act of trying to deny responsibility for ii Does anyone believe that Hal Reid went ahead with the faked film before be imd bad bis scenario (). K.'d by someone in authority at Republican* Headquarters? Everett Colby’s in dorsement. "It’s a corker,” is sufficient proof of tlds. That It was in execrable taste or even treasonable —what was that to this crowd which lias nothing to spend but money I The whole sordid affair is a tit parallel to the Rum, Romanism and Rebellion campaign which proved such a boomerang to die parties that started It. What can you expect of a party which campaigns on abuse, vilifica tion, slander, innuendo, and lies? We agree with the Brooklyn Eagle in won dering “If there wae anything In this him tlmt was not more than suggested by Col. Roosevelt In ills many attacks upon the President's Mexican polley?/ He has proclaimed President Wllsou* responsible for the conditions that he described. Other have done the same. In view of this, why should the playwright be blamed for adapting the material .to hi« medium? Can It be that the viliflers of the President had to see these tilings on the screen be fore realising how truly despicable this form of attack appears to most people?” The exposure of the character of 1 this putrid tllm should, says the Eve ning World, prove a sharp lesson to Republican campaign leaders. "The whole affair puts u stigma upon He- ] publican campaign methods.” j
