 EDITOR ENTERPRISE: -- Nogales is still holding it's own with any and ali other towns of it's size, as lively as it can be, but there are many prophets Some one has said that there are ten thousand historians to one prophet. Everybody, through memory, can look back, recall the past, live over their joys and sorrows, recount their hopes and fears, their successes and failures, and then make history of their varied experiences But who can look for ward for year, week, month or q day? Who during our great war, for instance, could see day into the fl- ture2 Among the most sagacious men of the time, ninety days" was
 the time allotted to see the end of 1t.
 Who knew what kind of property
 would rise or fall, or in what way to save q fortune or make ore? Con-
 tractors, of course, fattened on the
 government, and got rich without
 wisdom or merit and thousands be-
 came extremely poor without folly or fault, and there was not one prophet
 among all the people who could fore
 cast events or warn us what to do or
 avoid, or teach us the path 10 safety
 and success
 Let any one, however, listen to the
 conversations oi fifty people and he
 would discover at least forty-fye, ii
 not forty-nine, who think themselves
 prophets. Each man seems to know
 exactly what is best for everybody else
 and how their affairs should be con
 ducted. Perhaps this is owing to the
 fact that eyes and ears were made to
 deal with the world outside of their
 owners.
 Burns noticed this tendency to ob-
 jective criticism and lack of subjective
 introspection and expressed it in the
 lines, made immortal by their truth

Even the 8 ride by rail from Havre to Paris will ' supply him with good stock of ms $ lerial for reflection. While going over J that route I was struck by the ab t sence of fences and by the extent of !. the forest growth The difference in h hue of lcng plats on meadows and hill n side alone showed the different grains, ' roots and vegetables that were grow b ing, while inc long and uniform lines Tt of trunk and stem in the tree groups, t. whether large or small, showed that .

 he The contrast between our forests oi U United States and those of the coua- = tries above mentioned IS so marked to that the American who loves a tree ed cannot help j sense of shame on ac- n E'a count of the wanton destructivenes5 n. of his countrymen in their treatment ice of the magnificent growth which man lat tied our hills and decorated our broad =. plains. In appreciation or the pro W ducts of the soil the Europeans are yet eat our superiors.
