MEXICO NEEDS PEACE.

1t is to be hoped that the prophets
of an early peace in Mexico are of the
true variety. The situation there has
now developed into serious one. For
some time the Mexican revolution, as
far az the actual fighting was con-
cerned, had all the aspects of being
joke of huge proportions. Such con-
ditions, however, are of the past. There
have been some real battles recently.
More are in prospect. Lives that are
worth something are being ruthlessly
destroyed. Much valuable property is
being damaged. In northern Mexico,
which has been the scene of the active
revolution, work in the fields has been
at standstill. Few if any crops have
been planted. And unless there is a
sudden stop to the struggle, the gaunt
and terrible hand of famine is sure
to stretch out it's fingers and gather
it's grim sheaves before many months
have passed.
And 1t does seem that if both sides
to the controversy really have the in
terest of Mexico and it's people at
heart they will make the necessary
concessions and sacrifices of principles
to bring about an amicable settlement
of their differences. 1t is difficult to
figure how either side can gain much
by continued activities in the field. It
does not seem possible that decisive
baltic can be fought which will give
victory to one side or the other for
many, many months to come. If the
struggle il continued until such bat
tie IS brought to a head, the devasta-
ton wrought on Mexico and it's peo-
pie, will be blow to the progress and
prosperity of that nation from which
it will take many years to recover.
AS to the possible intervention of
the United States. that seems to be
out of the question. The prospect of
such move properly has no friends
in congress, where the initiative in
that respect would have to be taken,
as has been evidenced by the develop
ments in Washington during the past
few days. Many warm-hearted
American, without approaching the
| conditions that exist. gets inclined to
be wrathy because the United States
does not jump in and stop the fray
and see to it that the revolutionists
get their rights. They point to the ac-
ton of this government in regard to
Cuba. But the situations are far from
being analogous. Mexico is a SOW
ereign state. Cuba was mere depen-
dency. The trouble in Mexico is pure
| ly personal to that nation and it's peo-
pie. All the United States can do is
to preserve strict neutrality in the
premises and see to it that the lives
of American residents in Mexico and
their property are safeguarded. But
the United States can use its good and
friendly offices to bring about peace
| between the revolutionists and the
Diaz party. That this country has been
doing that very thing, with President
Taft directing the way, is .s1ainly ap-
parent between the lines of the news

You add more heaps to your heaps of

You may hunt for pleasure in pastures

And forget your cares, but you never do.

The market weakens when you are Ill.

That makes you mightier, higher loom.

You may claim such joys as the favored

Proverbs XVII T.: %.
4[ot an exceedingly fine discernment
is needed these days by any one to
realize that there is an overabundance
of grouchiness among many people.
They seem to be as foreign to joviality
as is snow to the equatorial regions.
They go about their work, and their
pleasure, if they take any, with a sui
ienness that makes them anything but
enviable companions. In fact, a good
many of them do not know what real
pleasure is. It is actually a difficult
task for them to try to enjoy them
selves at anything. They are bored by
everything, or they make out that they
are, and that is quite as bad as if they
were, both for themselves and their
friends.
Some of this unfortunate class I'M
doubtedly assume such moods for the
effect that they think they will have on
others. They are grouchy and pessl-
mistic for a purpose. They look upon
vivaciousness as utter frivolity. They
think the more sober ways will attract
unusual attention to them. They be-
lieve that these characteristics will set
them apart from others and above
them; that they are indicative of a
superior intelligence and a superiority
in all things. Poor, deluded creatures.
Attention is assuredly attracted to
them, but it is not of the kind that they
would desire if they knew its sig
nificance. 1t does not border on re-
slect and admiration as they deceive
themselves into thinking. 1t resolves
itself either into contempt or pure un-
adulterated pity, that they should be
so afflicted.
On the other hand, the individuals
who are merry of heart-and may their
shadows never grow less-who are ever
looking on the bright side of things,
who are filled with a cheerfulness of
spirit on all occasions and even under
the most trying of circumstances, they
are the ones who enjoy all there is in
life to the full They are welcome
everywhere. They have favors of all
sorts extended to them without the
necessity and embarrassment of asking
for them. Their appearance at any old
place and at any old time is like ray
of sunshine piercing the clouds that
have scattered darkness and gloom
over the earth for the time being. Not
only is their joyfulness as good as medi-
cine, as Solomon says in the words
quoted above, but it is good for every
one with whom they come in contact.
It's a panacea for most of the ills to
which human flesh is heir. It's acquire
ment should be sought after by every
man and woman. In reality, it may be
called the Fountain OF Perpetual Youth.

| mantle explorers of centuries gone by
used to risk their lives and fortunes TO
find. The way to it is not blocked by

Age Aid to I,a,ymaling.

There is every reason in the world
says DR.. Robert P. Bush, "why a man
of 70 or 80 should become a member
of the legislature, either of the state
time and has better judgment. OF
course when it comes to war and
hardship it takes the youngsters"
Democrat and member of the assem-
bly, from Chemung county, DR.. Bush is
qualified to speak both of lawmaking
bodies and of war. He served through
the civil war and he served six years in
the assembly, beginning in 1886. He
was speaker in 1892 and 1894. He
says the civil war was nothing COM
pared to the present fight in the Demo-
cratic party over the senatorship.
DIR. Bush is the only civil war veter-
an in the legislature, and he is the only
member who clings to the old-fashion-
ed high-topped leather boots. He
wasn't particularly anxious to return
to the legislature, and he had no idea
he would be elected when he accepted
the Democratic nomination last fall.
The district is ordinarily strongly Re-
publican. But his personal popularity,
coupled with the Democratic landslide,
swept him into Office with a plurality
of more than 1000. and now he is
seeking to establish record equal to
that he made in the nineties. Despite
his age-he is 69--he is as lively as the
younger members. He has been a
nSnI0r since ne nTSL LOOK Ills seat, DuL
he can't help that. It's his natural
bent.
Up in Households, where he lives,
DR.. Bush is one of the leading citizens.
He practices his profession, but is not
particular about the fees. If a family
is poor, he tells them to forget it.
and they usually do. When he was in
the legislature before, he was physi-
clan to the lawmakers. At one time,
according to the report, when some
kind of an epidemic was raging in AL
bany, SO of his colleagues were under
DIR. Bush's care.
A firm believer in the saying that
when q man gets past so a little nip
once in a while doesn't hurt him." DR..
Bush is not a teetotaler. Occasionally
there appears on his office door up in
Households the words. "Gone to SulIi-
vanvalle; back in three minutes" Sui
| livanville Is IL miles away, but the
place DIR. Bush has in mind on such
occasions is only across the street, and
f, all Households knows 1t and appreci-
ates the humor.-Albany dispatch to
