Warfare Up TO Date.

We have long had a suspicion that lighting
at the principal pleasure and the
main occupation of our Mexican neighbors but
it has remained for the stern and savage, not tx
say patriotic Villa to unite business and pleas
in a manner that believe to be unique
in the annals of warfare It seems that this
sturdy advocate of liberty has arranged with
a moving picture concern to make films of his
battles and to divide the profits that
pected to flow from their exhibition in the
United States and elsewhere. between himself
and his artistic partner. do not know, but
we presume that General Villa Will guarantee
that all picturesque charges Will be made in
good light and under other circumstances that
viii tend toward the making Of good photo
graphs and that all the killed and wounded
VIII fall in proper focus.
There Will be no doubt that these films will
be in demand and that the proceeds OF their
exhibition will help to pay the expenses of
carrying on the war. We in the Northern
public have had tendency to at cur
Central and South American neighbors lack
ing business enterprise. but sheer at
them longer. The means of making war
self-supporting is something that we would
never have devised. Just imagine General Lee
having a moving picture artist stationed on the
slope Of Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg to pre-
pare the picturesque aspect of Pickett's charge
for exhibition in Europe or fancy General
burnside doing the same thing at Fredericks-
burg. We people of the United States must
hide our diminished heads and adm that as
far as full appreciation Of the business pos
sibi7ties Of warfare is concerned. our southern
neighbors have beaten beyond the posi-
blty of competition.
As a matter of natural curiosity. however, we
would like know If monographs Will be In
stalled to record the sound of the firing. This
would help out the pictures considerably, and
incidentally 1t would let know how to pro-
nounce the of of the principal
characters in the Mexican administration

This is one of the planss in the Platform Of

developed wonderfully. Richmond has done
much in the last few years along this line, and
friends OF the movement are asking much this
year of council. With such things as school
appropriations, street improvements the Shockoe
creek problem and gas and water improvements,
together with the City hospital question, It IS
hardly likely that the Fairgrounds will re-
ceve all the increase needed to provide for
full development but the cause is one which
should not be allowed to lag.
Three million dollars will go long way, but
If it is to cover the wants of the city Of Rich
mond, IL will have to go very long way.
There is no doubt that the budget committee
of the finance committee. embracing Aldermen
Grundy and Grimes and Councilman Fuller, will
devote serious and faithful consideration to the
matter Of framing the ordinance and council
itself will feel its great responsibility before final
action.
