BR OF THE ASSOCTATED PRESS, MEMB) Fe eo VOLUME 60. a «NO, 21,214 THE MOMENT TO MAKE IT CLEAR. AVING denounced the Boston police strike as “a crime against civilization,” President Wilson takes a further step to remove ~ ‘all doubt'as to his attitude toward the unionization of police. His telegram to President Brownlow of the Board of Commissioners of the District of Oplumbia is explicit: “ram desirous, as you are, of dealing with the police force in the most just and generous way, but I think that any asso- ciation of the police force of the Capital City, or of any other great city, whose object is to bring pressure upon the public or the community such as will endanger the public peace or embarrass the maintenance of order, should in no case be countenanced or permitted.” On Wednesday of this week a distinguished Republican, Elihu Root, condemned the Boston police strike as a chajlenge to the Con- stitution of the United States, the one hundred and thirty-second apniversary of which the country was that day celebrating. Said Mr. Root: “This Constitution provides for a free, popular govern: ment. Under it we have a democracy in which all the people have their part in government. Every officer, legislative, executive, judicial, military, is the servant of all the people— not of any class, not of any group, not of any calling, not of any rece, not of any religion, but all. And that is fundamental © our democracy, “Now what does the police strike in Boston mean? It means that the men who have been employed and taken their oaths to maintain order and suppress crime, as the servants of ail the people, are refusing to perform that solemn duty unless they are permitted to ally themselves, affiliate them- selves, become members of a great organization which con- Lad ilnd"hersas SATURDAY, SEP EDITORIAL PAGE TEMBER 20, 19 Join This tains, perhaps, three per cent. of the people. Now, if that fe done, that is the end, except for a revolution. Government cannot be maintained unless it has power to use force.” No thonghtful American is a Republican or a Democrat on the question to whom public servants in the United States owe first * allegiance. Loyal Americans of all parties draw together and stand united and firm against the menace which revealed itself in the faithlessness ef the unionized police of Boston. This is an issue which transcends all other issues and erases all party lines. For it involves the fundamental guarantees of public erder and security upon which the Nation has built its institutions ‘and based its hopes. That organized labor is itself impressed by the seriousness of the issue raised is apparent in the confusion and contradiction of statement coming from labor leaders who try to face both ways. A week ago President Gompers of the American Federation of “When policemen accept charters from the American Federation of Labor it is with the distinct understanding that strike action will not be resorted to, and no obligation is assumed which in any way conflicts with their oaths or duty.” Yet two days ago President Gompers’s secretary, who repre- sented his chief in Boston, declared before leaving that city: “ “The American Federation of Labor is 100 per cent. ‘Ddehind the strike of the Bosion police force.” Can Mr. Gompers reconcile these statements? Or is the attitude of the Federation toward unionized police; We forbid you to strike, but if you do strike we're with you? New York learned yesterday that agitators have been busy among the city’s employees trying to organize clerks and office workers, as well as police and firemen, into unions whose first move is to he effiliation with outside labor forces. {The city does not depend upon its office employees tbr safety and order in the sense that it depends upon its policemen and firemen, But it relies upon its office workers to keep in motion municipal machinery absolutely essential to public welfare. If these office workers abandon their duties at the call of an authority other than that of the city they break faith with the city and leave its govern- ment inoperative. To them applies what Mr. Root says of all public employees who ‘@te “servants of all the people.” If they fail the public they deprive “government in the United States of its power and thereby strike at ‘the Constitution of the United States, Jooteesd “Meyor Hylan meets the situation with a prompt order directing ty t heads to get rid of agitators and trouble makers in the city Increase of pay for city employces is already under consideration. ‘The justice of a general advance is admitted. The Board of Kstimate end Apportionment is studying the payrolls. Now is the time, therefore, to make clear the public’s rights in the matter. Whether policeman, fireman or office worker, the city demands that the employee upon whom it depends shall give it his undivided allegiance, pever desert it at the bidding of outsiders and deal with directly in the adjustment of all claims.

Probably he's made money in stocks or war supplies—a lot of people did—or something, be- cause they don't get up early in the morning.” “Servants tell you all this—seeing as you haven't met the people them- selves?” asked Mr, Jarr. “No, I think they've mé¥ed from the country on account of servants leaving. They have a nurse for the child, but they are trying to get ser- vants.

(The New York Evening World). | No. 88—ZACHARY TAYLOR, Who Made Good Against Impossible Odds. © was a grim old farmer and Indian fighter, and the Administration at Washington picked him out as the “goat” to bear the brunt of a war which promised to be unpopular. He was Zachary Taylor, a man who knew little of political trickery and who cared less. It was Taylor} way to go straight ahead at any task assigned to him and to do it to the very best of his mighty power. That is how he happened to make good at a job which seemed foredoomed to fail, and how he became a national hero and a President instead of the butt of @ governmental mistake. Here is the story: The squabble over the Texas-Mexican boundary in 1846 led to our war with Mexico, James K. Polk was President of the United States, He feared the blame of his political foes for starting so unpopular a conflict, and he sought to shift some of the blame by sending Zachary Taylor to the Mexican border with a pitifully inadequate force of troops—most of Entered Mexico With Small Army. them untried. Taylor belonged to the opposing political party, By choosing a repre- sentative of this party to lead our forces into almost certain defeat Polk played a clever trick. But he had picked out the wrong man to play it on. | Taylor had been told to go to the border, not to cross it. Should he } cross it without orders and be routed the blame would be his, not the Ad~ ministration’s, Not being a fool, T: to advance a step until he had ministration into giving him definit . Then he tore in, “Tore in” is the only fitting phrase to describe his moves. With his mere handful men he invaded Northern Mexico,-thrashed one Mexican army after an- other, any of them far larger than his own, captured every Mexican city and stronghold that stood in his way and proceeded to make himself the master of all the north part of Mexico, Nothing could stand against him. ‘The story of Taylor's unbroken line of victories spread through th United States, fanning the nation to patriotic zeal and winning tremendous popularity for the grim old General who was making good against such tremendous odds. ¢ Polk's crafty plan had miscarried. The war was becoming popular and Taylor and Taylor's political party were reaping the glory of it. To offset this the Administration sent Gen. Winfleld Scott to Mexico at the head of a powerful army and supported by a war-fleet. Scott, acting under instructions, superseded Taylor in command. He took all Taylor's best soldiers and most efficient officers, leaving the old man with only about 5,400 men. Of this 5,400 the majority were raw recruits who had never smelled pow der and who scarcely knew their drill, They were newcomers from the training camps at home. With his “scratch army" poor old Taylor was enéamped on the moun ‘ tain plantation of Buena Vista when 20,000 Mexi« ; - cans surrounded him. These men were the pice Wen’ Vietory a | of Mexico's Army and were led by Mexico's Great Odds. foremost General, They hemmed in the small Omrmmmmrrrnw) American force on every side, There seemed no chance for escape. Taylor was a wise old soldier. But “defeat” was one word whose means ing he had never been able to learn. He. refused to surrender and he gave furious battle to the mighty Mexican assailants. A two-day battle followed, in which Taylor won a glorious victory. Thé number of Mexicans killed was about as many as all the American forces engaged. This crowning triumph made Taylor the idol of his countrymen. He had made good. And, as a reward, he was elected President of the United States. What to Do Until The Doctor Comes By Charlotte C.

Immediately after the ceremony the girl fainted and failed to regain consciousness, The autopsy revealed no organia lesion, and death was due to simple heart failure fol« lowing great mental excitement, It has been demonstrated that muscular fatigue and mental emo« tion have led to sudden death in persons of absolutely sound health, and for this reason so apparently simple a thing as “a fainting spell” {s really a serious matter, pression from foul air, loss of blood, and so on. ‘The preliminary signs are extreme blanching of the skin, which becomes cold and clammy; a sensation of diz- ziness, blurred vision, noises, general relaxation ani unconsciousness, Complete unconsciousness from simple fainting may prove fatal in a few minutes, Prompt action may prevent the faintness from going into that condition of profound sleep front which there is no awakening, ‘Therefore instant aid must be ren- dered, This consists in removing the subject at once to fresh, pure air, loosening all clothing as quickly as possible, overlooking no bands, gar- ters, tight shoes, &c., and placing the body flat, head slightly lowered to permit the flow of blood to the brain.
