as you might say. In other words
the general lokal sentiment seems
to be to let the outside world tend
to its biziness and we'll tend to
ours.
Jed Peters, our intelligent school
teacher, thinks that we ort to have
more literary news in the Bugle
than we have, but we think Jed is
rong about this. Most Bingville
folks wouldn't know a literary
news If they saw it. Jed must re-
member that the average Bugle
reader amt as smart & don't possess
as much human intelligence as he
does.
Then there Is others of our sub
scribers who complain becuz we
don't rnentchion their names in the
Bugle oftener than we do. But
this amt Our fault. We would be
glad to mentchion you if you have
did ennything worth while. If you
have did sornethink notorious why
don't you let us know what it was
ii.stid of keeping it to yourself and
then finding fault becuz we don't
1t? If you want your
name nnentchioned commit some
think and then let us know what it
was.
In spite Of the fackt that Bing-
vile folks Is allus willing & reddy
to criticize the Boogle we observe
that most Of them continue to take
it and read II yr afer yr without
paying a red cent on their back
Subscriptions.
What we need Is fewer sujjest-
shions about how to run the Bugle
and more back subscripshions.

Personal MentChI0n

Cid Smalley damaged one of his shoes
considerable tother day. He had to,
being as he had bunion on his foot
and In order to wear his shoe he had
to cut a hole In 1t to let the bunion
protrude through SO 1t wouldn't pain
him so. Too bad to Spite q good shoe
like that
Late Whittacre while carrying two
pals of water from his watering trof
to tho horses tother day had his foot
to slip on him, and fell, spilling the
water and shaking hisself up a good
cal. LATE says II he haddent fell how
ever, 1t wouldn't never occurd to him
to lead the horses to water instd of
carrying 1t to them.
Little Willie Henderson ernd five cts
tother day for carrying wood for Wild
ow Miller, and then spent all the cts
at Hen Weathersbys store for candy,
which he ct right off and same made
him so sick that Doc Livernore had
to be calld s. Willie's father had to
pay SO cts for Docs perfeshional SER
vices, SO that the candy was purity ex-
pensive after all.
Miss Sary Ann Whittacre's face is
sweld up with toothake until it looks
SO ridicklus that it's almost laffable to
others. Sary Ann says she would let
Doc Livernore pull it if she could only
git up suffishent courage.
Amaziah Witherow, while stropping
his razor tother day, accidentally cut
the razor strop right in two. This
put Amaziah out turrib1e, being as he
had went and bought the razor strop
new only wk or two ago.
Brad Hinsley says he has turrible
time to keep his feet warm this winter.
Brad wears 8 prs of wool socks on his
feet, but still he says the cold gifts

cold we can't imagine unless its poor
circulashion.

"Out Of Is. 900 children in the

''Of those 7.OOO.OO children who do

not only prevent them from getting to

ishment Of the farm prevent the exist

go to!
MANY children are killed each year
walking railroad tracks to school. Why?.
They have no roads to walk on. Many,
children each year have no schools to
10 to. Why? The roads are SO bad
there Ia no profit in farming. no money
for schools. no progress. ne growth. no
ambition. Hundreds Of thousands of
children yearly have to do with a little
schooling. n little part Of a term at
school. Why? Because father needs
their help on the farm. He isn't max

Dead to Stay Dead

Senator Wesley Jones evidently takes the pro-
gressiyes for great bunch Of suckers.
The voted-with-Aldrich-10 100 and-steen-tm sena-
tor says the sops thrown to the progressves by the
national committee crooked schemers who met in
Washington this week should bring loud acclaim of
JOY from all who voted the republican ticket and
they should hasten back into the party fold.
But Wesleys illusion will be dispelled as usual
just as soon as the people get chance to VOTE
The rotten old reactionary machine may throw out
al the sops it wants to but no one has any conf
dence in the sincerity Of any program it might pro-
pose.
If the national committee which met at Washing
ton had resigned in body and called the people
to make new one there might have been some rea-
son for justifying movement to reorganize the
waterlogged old party that is fast sinking with it's
load of reactonaries like Jones, Guggenheim Smoot
ct al.
But no real reformer will ever go back to associa-
tions with the men who stole the Aberdeen conven-
ton and stole the presidential nomination for Taft at
Chicago.
It will take some real evidence of spirit, of
confession of past sins and repentant spirit at least
the part of the Jones crowd before the people will
take any stock in them again. The republican party
is q dead one and in it's case we don't believe
there can or ever will be resurrection day.

nature of crimes But perhaps never has such rea-
son been given as that offered by the who stole
the Mona Lisa All thoughts of self personal fin
ancial gains submerged he says and in stealing
the painting the thought uppermost in his mind was
the shonor of Italy" To avenge supposed insult
to that nation by France, when Napoleon removed
art treasures manuscripts and statuary from Italy
to France the Mona Lisa cut from its frame and
returned to Florence, he declares.
Here is something new at least in the way of ex-
plantations for the commission of crime. Here is
man who risks his life, perhaps and who is willing
to sacrifice his liberty for the sake of work of art
Truly he is either vandal with original ideas of JUS
tficaton or fanatic, whose efforts in behalf OF his
native country will be ill-rewarded

Garfield Articles on Mexico

'sWe ought to have everything from Alaska to the
Panama canal'
This is common expression of Americans heard
almost daily on the street in discussion of the Mexi
can embrogo.
But the series of articles in The Times by II. B.
Garfield show the difficulties of this accomplish
ment, as far as Mexico is concerned.
Undoubtedly the Western Hemisphere would be
better off if Uncle Sam did have domain the
whole thing, but he hasn't. And far Mexico is
concerned she does not want him to have. Mexico
has inflammable population that would be diff
cult of assimilation if the United States did take
the country and annex it, 1t would take couple OF
generations at least to put the government in many
sections on stable foundation and it could not be
done until modern education had chance to do its
work.
If Mexico wanted to be annexed it might be diff
ferent But until she does, Mr. Garfield points
out, it would be very expensive job in men and
money for Uncle Sam to mix up in her troubles.
President Wilson is to be commended for maintain
ing the sshands off, attitude.
It is to be hoped he will be able to continue the
policy When Mexico comes knocking at the door
Of the American nation for admission it will be time
for us to go down and pacfy the rebellious hordes
that are now at each others throat
