The Independent likes to give credit
to whom it is due. We like the man.
ner in which President Wilson is han
ding the important matters that have
been brot before him. The country is
especially well pleased at the dignified
and effective manner in which he has
handled the very delicate Mexican sit
uation. Of course, this country could
send an army over into the greasers'
country and eventually annihilate the
rascals, but thousands of our country
men would be certain to lose their
lives, to say nothing of the cost finan-
cially. If the president keeps up the
good work, there is little question but
what the people will demand his re-
election. Unlike his predecessor, the
president seems to be in sympathy
with the masses.

TOWN AND CITY AFFAIRS.

Business men are realizing more
than ever before that town and city
affairs, so long considered politics,
are their affairs, the business extends
outside the walls Of their factory,
warehouse, store or Office, into the city
hall. They have learned that manu-
featuring and craftsmanship are not
the only elements entering into their
success, the city laws, police and fire
protection, water supply, insurance
rates, rate of taxation, labor condi-
tons, and thousand and one other
things that make up metropolitan con-
ditions are vital. Wherefore, they are
now giving attention to these matters.
Businessmen are naturally the most
deeply interested in good government,
in keeping the city clean, healthful,
and attractive and seeing to it that
business methods and management
are given.

Thirteen-year-old Kathleen Simon, a
Saskatchewan tot, has been sentenced
to serve ten years in Canadian pris-
on for numbering ten-year-old play
mate last summer. The little girl had
become angry because her companion
persisted in striking her with the head
Of prairie chicken, and in a fit of
temper struck her across the head
with spade. She continued to strike
the PROSTATE form time and again
with the spade, hardly knowing what
she was doing. The judge explained
that at first he thought of sending her
to the reform school, but disliked to
have the little murderess associate
with young girls sent up for lesser
crimes. The judge could do little less
than he did, yet the chances are that
Kathleen will emerge from the prison
at the end of her term hardened
criminal beyond all hope of redemp-
ton.

With eggs so high, it's wonder
people do not raise more chickens. Our
own county could supply Chicago, if
farmers would cultivate hens instead
of grain. Every lot in town should
have chicken coop. The birds grow
like weeds, rarely get sick, pick up
their living in bugs and grass, and ask
only for a little grain. The hen is a
cheerful creature, and sings about
her work. Omelets should not be the
rich mans luxury.
