Thc men who fell under the Ameri can flag at Vera Cruz are martyrs. They obeyed intelligently and willing ly the call of their home land for a Anal service, and in the nilli of the gods, their loyalty and their labor are both elements In the meal of final good to humanity. The cost of main taining peace has been great, but it ls better that we should suffer this much If justice and righteousness will eventually triumph. rt,il,> . u ?>,>?.-u 1 ll V ? ni, inn* BilBnBIi We see no occasion for excitement over the dispensary proposition. This paper has opposed the holding ol an election for it is snld on all sides that the outcome ls a foregone conclusion in tuvor of no dispensary, and to have an election would be unnecessary. However we feel sure that Supervi sor King means to do what is right. He feels the responsibility placed up on his shoulders and he wishes to have the petitions checked over by men whom he cnn trust and who have the confidence of the public It ls unfortunate if he and Mr. Har ley had any misunderstanding about the personnel of the membership of the committee to check over the lists, and we are convinced that Mr. Harley felt that he had grounds for thinking that he was to have representation on the committee, or that he would have | been notified to the contrary. Hut that is a matter entirely In the prero gative of the supervisor, and we be lieve that he has capable and good men in charge of the work. We trust that any misunderstanding mny he eradicated, and that the personal matter between these two. If there 1B any such, may not enter Into the | controversy. Mr. Klug is not a lawyer and at the meeting some time ugo he stated that any agreement he would make would be subject to conference with his at torney, bul lie declared his wish and intention to abide by the law and to do nothing one way or tho other which would not have full guurantec of the law. Confiding In that statement, we feel that Mr. King will not order the elec tion if lt is made clear to him that such a proposition would be unlawful..How ever, we cannot see any harm in thc request of Mr. Harley to look over the lists. If each of these gentlemen would get the other's view point they might arrive at some agreement mu tually helpful and mutually agreeable.

RIGHTS CONSERVED BUT THAT IS LIMIT Tar Heel Congressman Def i LS Labor Union Exemption In th'; Anti-Trust Law Washington, June 13.-"There is not a provision In the anti-trust bill which can be tortured into meaning that violence, coercion or intimidation are authorized or countenanced,'" said Representative Webb, ot North Caro lina, chairman of the House judiciary committee, in a statement today re garding the House omnibus trust bill now pending In the Senate. " He gave the oliiclal version of the development of the labor exemption clause. "The framers of the Sherman law," Representative Webb Bald, "never In tended to place labor organizations and farmers' organizations under the ban of that law. The existence of a labor of farmers' union never has been un lawful and it is not unlawful to day, hut lt was desired to place in the statutory law of the country a recogni tion of the rights of these organiza tions to exist and carry out their law ful purposes. "After the original section 7 of the anti-trust bill was drawn, certain rep resentatives of labor contended that the section did not give labor all lt was entitled to. Finally we agreed to add to what had already been provided in the lubor plana as adopted in the Baltimore Democratic convention that organizations, orders or associations or their members should not be held illegal combinations in restraint of trade under the anti-trust laws. This added nothing material, but seemed a pretty good compromise proposition. "This does not give labor, framers or fraternal organizations any more than they are'entitled to under the law today, nor any more than the Federal courts throughout the country have held them entitled to. This provision will protect them from dissolution un der the anti-trust laws, but does not protect them from penalties tor vio lating the criminal laws of the coun try.

June 13.-The principle of Woman's suffrage was endorsed here today by the General Federation of Women's Clubs after a twenty years fight by the suffragists to break down the federation's constitutional bar on political and religious subjects. The motion was made by Mrs. E. G. Dennis ton, of San Francisco, chairman of the resolutions committee. There were seconds from all over the house. When the question waa put there was a chorus of ayes but scattered nega tives were plainly heard. The resolution follows: "Whereas, the question of political equality of men and women is today a vital problem under discussion throughout the civilized world. "Resolved, that the General Federa tion of Women's Clubs give the cause of political equality its legal support by recording its earnest belief in tho principle of political equality regard less of sex."
