SEIZURE OF VERA CRUZ.

Acting upon the authority which is vested in the president a move has been made for the enforcing of the policy of the administration in it's in sistence upon the upholding of the honor and dignity of the nation, which leaves no question as to the firm de- termination which stands back of it. The first step towards the blockading of the Mexican ports has been taken and with sorrow must it be recorded that the seizure of the Vera Cruz custom house and other vantage points in the city was accompanied by blood shed and death. Yet it is almost in conceivable that even such a plan could be carried out without such con- sequences, however much it was hoped that it could be avoided.
 The action which has been taken must make it plain to Huerta that the United States means business. that it was not bluffing or disposed to quib- ble after sufficient time had been all lowed for reparation for the insult, but 1t also brings out the cold facts as to just what is involved in the shutting up of the coast towns.
 It has opened the way to the pos- sible development of a much graver situation. though everything depends upon the observance of the fine point upon which the entire move is based as to results. It remains to be seen whether the Mexican people will rec ognize the distinction which is being made between them as a nation, and the government which has been set up by HueTta. By his prompt action in accordance with his ultimatum President Wilson has shown that this country means business and demands justice, but it does not want war, though bloodshed adds to the difficulty of restraint

THE TOLL OF SOLITUDE

and had been to the lowest depths but she had been kind to Jim, and l she was-a woman. He murmured her l name and smiled in his sleep. l Next day the relief came The old 1 sheepherder hardly stopped to wei 1 come his brother worker, but strap
 ping the, gray blanket on his back
 and stuffing his pockets with bread l and bacon, started at once on his 4O- mile tramp to the settlement. It had never seemed work before i this 40-mile walk-but now his feet
 crept slowly. The gray plain had
 backs. yet he knew he had lett the sheep far behind. He mopped his | hot, dry face mechanically, grasped
 his heavy stick tighter, and struggled on. He shut his eyes and mumbled i and tried to run.
 | When night came he had to rest some, but he did not stop long to 1 sleep. for sleep failed to come, and he ! hungered for AusselsheH and the
 drink that would drive away these awful sights and sounds. It seemed as if his feet moved queerly-hls 1 hands clutched forward. His shaggy head bent further down. Still he tramped doggedly on through the 1 night; and the morning hSht 1ound him tramping blindly. his eyes fixed
 on the far-away trail that led to drink and freedom.
 "Whiskeyn fix me right. Always has afore. Won't it. Moll?" But even the broken utterances proved too much exertion, and silently he trudged on: It was late evening in the month Of September The ugly frontier village of MusselsheH looked almost attrac- tive in the moonlight. The low, wood- en cabins and sod shanties of it's one struggling street lay in an irregular
 row. It was past 10 o'clock. The three saloons were bravely lighted and
 from each sounded shouts and merri- ment.
 A dim coal-oil lamp placed outside to light thirsty travellers threw it's rays on the Red Bucket-the sign of MusselshelPs worst saloon Next door in the hovel of old MOl shone a soli- tary candle.
 All at once the noisy, drunken crowd within the Red Bucket became silent. The bleating of 8 sheep was heard at the door.

The crowd gazed a minute at their ] old companion. Then some one re- l marked: Call old Moll. She'll take l him in''
 Just another sheepherdar gone | nutty.' was the bartender's comment, as with d shrug he turned back to his 1 bar.
 ! And the drinking and rough amuse- ment went gaily on as if there had l been no interruption. But an ugly, wicked old bag Crooned over a crazy 1 sheepherder in the cabin near by.- 1 The Argonaut.

BEST TO IGNORE THEM.

The latest utterance of Leader Hay wood of the I. W. W. that his organi- ration is prepared to conduct a na- tional strike in opposition to the gov- ernment's plan for war, falls fat with the declared attitude of the president in the present affair. but 1t all too well voices the underlying strata of trou- ble and un-Americanisrn which psa-= wade the entire organization. such mouthpieces are capable of TO end of harm. but undoubtedly the szaaa- est blow which can bs dealt thsrn. un- less they persist to ths breaking paint, is to entirely ignore them. It should be remembered who Haywood is and let the entire statement sink into ep- liv;on.

ABSENT VOTERS.

That the problem of getting out the votes on election day is one with which each and every community is bothered, is no secret. Rare is the city, town or borough which does not al each election lament the lack of in terest which is revealed by the great number of stay at homes. Just how to overcome it is a question which has not been successfully solved though many methods have been adopted for causing a recognition of the fact that each and every elector should make the most of his privilege and that every vote counts.
 When it is found that those who are deprived of their rights by their in ability to be in or to get to their home town on election day deplore the loss of suffrage to such an extent that provision is made for overc0m- ing the distance either by voting by mail or otherwise, it indicates an in teresting situation. It shows that those who have the right to vote but are unable to exercise the privilege are unwilling to be deprived of it, while a larger number who can use it but neglect it fail to manifest an ap- preciation of an important possession. Enough is thought of the idea of per mitting the absentees their vote to se- cure the necessary legislation in Mis- souri, California and South Dakota, but what is more needed is to arouse civic interest to the point where every voter who can get to the polls will do so. A knowledge of human nature, however, indicates the task which lies ahead of such an undertaking unless there is recognition of individual shortcomings. It is from the lack of interest in elections that the advo- cates of compulsory voting get their strong argument

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Roof Gardens.

By consulting moving picture shows of senses in old Babylon and Ninevah we discover that people aforeume used to do considerable loafing and visiting upon their housetops. There was their sitting room, as it were. From thence also as the conquering hero marched along, they would occasionally drop a brick or jug on his head, showing that housetops had their use in war as well as in peace.
 In American cities roofs are ne glected, except in the instance of oc- casional hotel roof gardens.
 And now from Washington there comes a welcome suggestion. There it is proposed to make playground of about 5000 square feet upon the roof of the new addition to St. Patrick S school.
 If the city will not or cannot pro- vide adequate ground space Tn which children may play. why not confiscate the vast roof space of apartment houses, schools, office buildings and the laughter of the city's children up to the face of God?
 We must have children. Children must have place to play. This place ought to be outdoors. There are not enough parks, school yards and other ground plots To play in the streets is dangerous and brings every day it's toll of accidents and deaths from street cars, motors and trucks. Hence why not give the babies the roofs?
 Would 1t not pay any municipality to employ playground superintendents, each to have his separate roof herd of children and to teach them to play?
 And, for that matter. why do we not gardenize the roofs of our fiat build ings and use them for breathing spaces in summer for the families? There is great population that cannot go to the countryside, but must remain and work in the city during the heated season. Why not have roof gardens everywhere?

THE ONLY THING TO DO

When the stockholders of the New Haven system ratified the agreement which had been entered into between the department of justice and the chairman and directors of the system they carried out expectations. There was nothing else to be done under the existing conditions, however much the belief may exist that the public and business are not going to derive any benefits from the dissolution of the system.
 The action indicates that the plain open statement of Chairman Elliott surrounding the course which had been taken relative to the demands of the government had been given careful thought and that not only was conf dence placed therein, but it was real ized that the best judgment had been used in taking care of the interests of the road. It is but natural that a feeling should exist that better re- suits might have been obtained before court, but with a knowledge of the financial condition and the fact that the delay and expense of such a fight pointed straight to receivership, there was no alternative. Chairman Elliott has not neglected the inter OSAS tA IlS IodO III lIlS negotiations which have been conducted since the governments determination to ,regu- late the system was manifested He has gained some concessions and while he has been avoiding receivership he has likewise been concerned with some big financial problems. Though the mistakes and losses of the past cannot be forgotten it is, and has been for some time, the right period for the rebuilding of the important railroad system for New England and the ac- tion of the stockholders should give 1t the necessary start.

His dim, watery eyes gazed far past the gentle sheep to- ward the south. He was not reading This unlettered son of the plains knew no books. He was not 1aboring with hand or brain. He saw the crow, and vaguely wondered if it was worth while to bury poor old Spot. The dog-his only companion-was dead; what use to bother about grave besides 1t was too hot to move. So he sat still and gazed on into the hay distance.
 Strengthening is so easy. It causes no eXertion. Here he stayed, week Tn and week out, tending his master sheep. This was Old Jim the Sheep herder-the only human being on the deserted plain.
 For months he had not seen a human face. In fact the mild, quiet sheep were his only companions, as he sat through the hot day and idly dreamed of the time when, relieved by another herder. he should go south to the little village of Musselshell. He saw himself striding into his favor1te saloon and drinking and carousing with his fellows.

 Poor Spot-he was a good dog I'd bury him if I had a spade Jim sheep to water. They drank.

He tried to speak and felt a queer gurgle in his throat.

 All night he rolled in his greasy blanket, he looked toward the stars; but now no stars shone in the heavens. only white, twinkling sheep, and their 'Tbaa, baa" beat like waves upon his ears He rolled and clutched, and wondered that the silence had once troubled him. Silence was heavenly, but this everlasting sound
 At last he slept and dreamed again of the Musselshell and the lowly cabin where was the only sort of home he had ever known. She would care if he were sick. Old Moll the only female of the settlement was not a good woman. She was ugly and dissipated

THE REBEL ATTITUDE.

There seems little reason for be- Iievirg that the course which this country proposes to take to coerce
 Huerta will operate to bring about a
 union of the federal and rebel forces
 of that country though such is un-
 questionably the object of the defiant
 attitude which Huerta has taken. It
 has always been maintained that noth- ing would serve as a signal for the uniting of forces in the Mexican re- public like an invasion of Mexican ter ritory by this country. Even though this has not always had such an effect upon the patriotism of the people of that republic, it would undoubtedly turn civil strife to the defense of the country and at least find the factions defending the sections which they con- trol against invasion. Thus unity is likely to result only through chance to oppose a common enemy and such does not exist in the attitude of the United States
 Though the quarrel with Huerta alone. and not the Mexican people for whom friendship and sympathy are expressed, may be 8 fine point which it will be difficult to maintain, the declaration by the president that There can in what we do be no thought of aggression or of self ag grandizement'' is bound to have it's in- fuence in assuring Mexicans of his course and make it apparent to the rebels that it is a matter in which they are not concerned. It is a case, however, where this country and the rebels are now opposing a common enemy in Huerta, though neither is actuated by the same purpose or for the same object. The chances that the rebels will unite with Huerta un- der existing circumstances are slim.
