No matter how much the people Of
the other parties may disagree with
President Wilson's policy they will
have to take off their hats to him as a
man OF sincere and sturdy purpose as
his stand for toll charges for Ameri-
can vessels brings him in direct oppo-
sition to the Republican leaders and
to many of his Democratic colleagues.
His speech asking for the repeal Of
the free toll act was direct and digni-
fled and free from threats or any
melodrama. 1t was the act of a man
actuated by the highest principles of
craftsmanship and showed spirit of
independence that has marked his
whole course since reaching the pres
idency. His statement that America
could not afford to lightly disregard
and violate her foreign treaties is per-
haps of a higher order of statesman
ship than that which has heretofore
been made a laughing stock of the for
eign powers. He is making his stand
on broad lines which should appeal to
| all people regardless of party Presi-
dent Wilson is right with regard to the
tolls. There can be no argument in
view of the high and lofty stand taken
| by this country with regard to it's own
policies. America cannot afford to go
on record as disregarding any treaty
with any nation. This nation holds an
enviable position with all European
powers because it has been regarded
as a nation of right and equity. When
the present treaty expires with Great
Britain it will be time enough, to
change disagreeable features in the
next treaty.

State wide prohibition is bound to
come in this state and it is pretty GER
tain to be the real issue for this fall.
From all over the state, from vets and
drys alike, is coming agitation for
state wide dry campaign. Drys want
it for the reason that it will prevent
to a large extent shipment into dry
territory. Vets want it because they
believe that all towns and cities with
in the state should be on common
basis A great deal of the clamor is,
of course, coming from dry towns and
cities adjacent to wet territory where
the DRINKS are loaded up in wet ter
ritory and carried over by interurbans
to be dumped on dry communities for
their care. Twin Falls fortunately has
not been SO affected, but nevertheless
will line up for state wide prohibition
in order to help other dry communi-
ties. The legislative tickets of every
party will of necessity have to come
out of the brush on the question this
fall.

EFFICIENT INDUSTRIAL EDUCA
TION.

The building of Gary, Indiana, was
nine-days' wonder. At the behest of
group of steel magnates a city grew
up like magic on the open prairie-a
city with factories, houses, public
buildings, well-paved streets, water,
electricity, and all the rest of it, lit
orally built to order. The nine days"
have passed, and the wonder of the
towns becoming has well-nigh been
forgotten. The people who are now
talking about Gary are the educators
discussing the interesting way in
which this industrial city is teaching
the children of the workers to be
ers, not merely boys and girls who
play at working. How this up-to-date
system of practical industrial educa-
ton is the realization of one mans
ideals is told in an article reprinted
from The Hardware Age by American
Industries february. We read:

many of our school systems, but work
which called for actual, practical re-
suits, for the production of things
which were of real value-work which
demanded that the pupils learn not
only the manual efforts which were
required to produce a certain article,
but which included the cost of that ar

WORK AT ORCHARDS
Season of Activity Commences at
Deep Greek.

With the advent of spring, or what
seems to be spring, the work at the
Deep Creek orchards began several
days ago, and is being pushed as rau-
idly as possible. e. l.. Macvfcar, the
new manager of the company, spent
several days upon the tract last week
comforting with d. Fl. Downer, the ex-
pert horticulturist in charge. The
pruning has been completed, and the
work of cultivation is now under way
Trees are being put out on the Read
er place which was purchased by the
Deep Creek company last fall. The,
new tract is only two miles from Hol.
lister, due west. Four camps are now
in operation, and as the weather set
ties down, other camps will be in
stalled until the full seven are in use..
Mr. Macvicar states that most of the
effort of the company this year will
be concentrated upon the care of the,
trees already in, and that no large
amount of new work Will be under
taken. AS the company now has al
most three thousand acres of orchards,
under it's control, and the trees are,
arriving at the age where they need
continual attention, it will require an
immense amount of labor to handle,
the work The damage to the trees,
during the winter by the rabbits was
lighter than ever, probably due to the
concerted effort which has been made
to eXterminate the pests by the farm
ers upon the tract. The Deep Creek
company was foremost in the fight
against the rabbits, and used large
quantities of the poison in the vicinity
OF their orchards. The orchards are
all fenced in, and the fences have
been watched carefully all winter.
The Deep Creeks reservoirs were
filled several days ago, and the waste
water has been turned into the Sal
mon River Canal company's system to
furnish the settlers with water for
domestic use and tree planting.

the side of patience and forbearancey

AN IMPRESSIVE SPECTACLE.

American battleships passing
through the Panama canal from the
Atlantic 10 the Pacific is an imposing
ture. Gov. Goethals has told the
president the canal is ready for all
but the two largest ships Of the At
lantic fleet and the president is pre-
pairing to give the order for the move
ment
As there is no special occasion for
using the battle fleet of the Atlantic
IN Pacific waters the transfer will be
purely in the nature of a demOnstra-
ton for whatever effect it may have
on the Mexican situation or any nation
OF the far east which may be impressed
by il. Though strictly moral in it's in
fiuence it is expected TO be as effective
as though Of more physical charac-
ter.
The fleet moving l,esurely through
the canal. lifted over the grades by
the locks and moving inland through
channel which only a few months
ago had not been completely excavated
will be an inspiring spectacle and will
illustrate how the facilities of trans
portation may be substituted for an
increased number of battleships
With the canal IN operation this
demonstration will show that the
American navy can maintain con-
tinuous patrol of the coastline of the
United States without dividing its
strength. If any nation in the east
has designs upon the United States it
will realize that the task of carrying
them out has become more difficult
with the addition of the canal TO the
defense OF the country

a CONfPLEX sITUATTON.

1t is purely a political game in Mex
leo with war on the side. Huerta is
holding out against elimination. Car
rama is playing for a place, and Villa
-ha is just lighting and in a receptive
mCo1 for anything that may fall to
him.
In it's salient features there Il little
difference between the politics of the
United States and that of Mexico, ex-
cept that the people Of the former
have stopped going TO war over it,
They got their fill of political warfare
in 1875. In Mexico the people are
in a somewhat similar state Of transit
tional stage which we OF the United
States have obtained. In such pc
RODS Of national progress political adj
venturers prosper, or at least flourish.
The welfare OF the people is submerg-
ed in the welfare of the individual
That is what is happening to Mexico
now. The leaders of the various fac
tions have no patriotic desire to see
their country peaceful and prosperous
and no interest in the people which
are not secondary TO their interest in
their personal ambitions. True pa
triotism is unknown among those who
are now in leadership and power. 1t
has been a minus quantity since Diaz
was exiled and Madero murdered.
So the United States and other ma
tons having a friendly interest in
Mexico have these various elements
to deal with. and they must be dealt
with separately, each according to its
characteristics. II Huerta is disposed
of through the mediation now in prog
ress or by other means Carranza re-
mains an obstructing problem, with
Villa and others in the background.
1t ia a complex situation which
might be successfully dealt with by
going into Mexico with an amy large
enough TO crush all opposit on and oc-
cupy the territory. but tina would be
contrary to the peaceful potcy of the
, United States. The Anne { can gov
eminent does not want to AIRY war
| into Mexico. it wishes TO h ng peace
to the distracted country.
That means a slow and tedious pro-
cess of diplomacy, perhaps not slower
than invasion. but much less exciting
and much less harmful TO all con-
cerned

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
THE CITIZEN SOLDIER.

In times like these we turn to the
basis of all governmental support-to
the citizen soldier, TO the national
guard" AS a rule these citizen sold
iers are not held in high esteem.
Why? Well, there are a number of
reasons. We see them march and
drill on the streets of the cities; we
see them so to the annual encamp-
ment. and we complain of the bills
made for their sustenance, and we
cuss them when they obey orders in
cases of emergency and fire on other
citizens who are engaged in the vio-
lation of the laws. Plainly we don't
think much of them. Let a detach-
ment Of regulars march through the
streets and our hats are off and we
talk about the army and its splendid
personnel; but when our own home
boys go swinging by the kids boot
and their friends jeer. It's a shame.
If you Will just remember every war
we have had that amounted to any
thing was won by the citizen soldiers
Don't laugh at the militia and the
volunteers. Who bore the brunt of
the awful impact of southern rebel
lion? You know, if you will think
bit. And who first went up the bloody
hill of san Juan? Don't laugh at the
citizen soldier. You may know him
and that is probably the reason that
you do not think highly of him as
sOldier-but can il be said that any of
us truly know any other individual?
Men are men the world over, and at
heart men are strong and firm and
true. When the citizen soldier goes
out 10 do battle for the country. the
stay-at-homes sheer, and the mem
bers of the regular service speak con-
temptuously; but ii has happened be-
fore and it will happen again that the
regulars thanked all their gods for
the coming of the citizen soldiers, the
men who came at the critical time
and changed defeat TO victory, fight
ing like veterans.
Hats off TO the militia to our broth
ers and sons the men who compose

GROWTH OF \ GOOD WORK.

Operating in conjunction with the
charity organization society at Indi-
annapolis is a vacant lot cultivation
and home gardening committee that
has been showing some surprisingly
fine results for several years and
points the way for similar benefits
in other Indiana cities. With the
coming of the spring season, too, at
tentiOn to this branch of helpful en-
deavor is most timely, and may en-
courage emulation in scores of other
places where the same opportunity is
at hand.
Under the Indianapolis committees
plan, vacant lots are assigned to
worthy people. The committee pays
for the blowing of these lots and also
furnishes seed when necessary to
those who cultivate them. All the
vegetables raised go TO the people cul-
tivating the lots. The records of the
committee for the last IA years show
that the vegetables raised in each
year amount up to $4,000 in value.
Schools and other institutions have
been aided in the cultivation of va
cant lots. In this way the work is
spread to individual homes by the
children. Because of the lack of en-
ployment last year, the committee eX-
poets an unusually heavy demand for
gardens. me reports for the last four
years show that the work is gradual
ly increasing. Two hundred and
twelve vacant lots, 226 kitchen gar
dens and 1872 flower gardens were cul-
tivated last year. Six schools and 16
settlements were assisted. The num-
Der of families assisted was 1,120, and
the number of children assisted was
1850. The work was carried on at
cost OF $502.35.
Just now the committee is receiv-
ing subscriptions to help in the work,
together with donations of seeds and
permission of owners to utilize va
cant lots about the city. The cause
is admirable because ii is a form of
helpfulness that really assists those
who need help to help themselves.

BACK TO THE MIDDLE AGES.

The American forces occupying Vera
Cruz found a touch OF medieval times
in the old fortress Of San Juan de
Uloa. When the ancient fortress was
entered il was found TO contain some
four hundred prisoners. most Of whom
had been incarcerated for political Of
lenses.
on the ramparts are cannon which
have stood there for more than two
hundred years and are partly eaten
away By rust. Evidently they have
not been fred or disturbed since Cen.
Scott occupied the island on which the
prison f. built in 1S47. Within the
prison walls stands a tablet ito the
memory Of the American soldiers who
died at San Juan de Uloa island, 1857.
The whole structure and its contents
speak of the past and the unhappy
prisoners found there are examples OF
the preservation of ancient customs
and traditions.
Among the unfortunates were men
who once had been prominent in the
affairs OF Mexico. but who have been
imprisoned so long that they have
been forgotten and their identity and
relation 10 the living world can be es-
tablished only by prison records and
written history. These men have been
in prison so long that their minds are
blank and their bodies so enfeebled
humanity demanded that they be sent
TO a hospital.

constructed that it was impossible for

This relic Of the Spanish inquisition,
inherited in spirit and practice from
the conquerors of Mexico, has been
perpetuated by each succeeding ad-
mlnlstration and until me accession OF
Nadero there IS no record OF any
thought of abandoning it. Madero was
shocked by what he found there and
prisoners. but troubles OF his own
stayed them and his death put an end
"a possible rescue from the govern
menS.
When the United States took posses
sion OF Vera Cruz in the name Of peace
and humanity they assumed a respon-
sibility they had not anticipated. but
have not hesitated in the performance
of their plain duty. Three hundred of
the prisoners have been released or
transferred TO other prisons and the
remainder will be sent TO hospital or
otherwise cared for.
II there we're no other reason for
American Intervention in Mexico the
fortress prison of San Juan de Uloa
furnishes an ample one. That within
the second decade of the twentieth
century such evidences of the middle
ages can exist is unbelievable. Mexico
needs a purging and if it cannot be
administered peacefully let it be done
in the next best way
