The popularity of President Will.
son is slipping a bit, at least in Tex
as. Down in the Lone Star State
they like a little req blood mixed
with dignity and lofty ideals in the
chief executive of the nation. While
nobody wants war with Mexico or
with any other country, nearly ev-
erybody wants an exhibition Of at
least an indication of little back
bone when occasion demands it.
The former school master and the
editor of the Commoner are very eX-
cellent gentlemen, but they are not
a strong team when it comes to in
ternational questions that require
courage and prompt decision. One
cannot help but wish occasionally
that Theodore THE Terrible" might
occupy the presidential chair for fif-
teen or twenty minutes, at least dur
ing some of these troublous times.
If Teddy were in the white house
there would be no necessity of war.
The warning factions in Mexico
would accord citizens of the United
States the treatment to which they
are entitled and not a word from
the white house would be necessary
And why? Because they would
know that any other course would
not be treated from Wash ngton
in a manner that indicated that the
president of the United States
thought he was dealing with pink
tea party or an afternoon session of

First a man announces that he is
in the hands of his friends, and
then he announces that he is a can
didate. Politics being as it is, why
is it that a mans friends always ad-
wise him to become a candidate?-
Sioux City Journal.
A mans friends always advise
him to become a candidate because
they know that is the kind of ad-
vice he wants and if it is not forth
coming he will be their friend no
longer. Did the Journal editor ever
advise a friend not to run? If not,
he might try it and get some valu-
able experience.

WILSON AND TEAMWORK.

Moore's successor in the state de-
partment must be Wilson man.
That is to say, he must be capable
of what Mr.. Wilson calls teamwork.
He must take the Wilson view of
things. The law and the precedents
must be read in the light Of Mr..
Wilson's situation and desires.
Mr.. Moore could not accommodate
himself to these requirements. He
took office without other obligations
than to advise according to his
knowledge and judgment. He was
recognized authority on interna-
tional law and diplomatic usage, and
as such was called to place. His po-
litical views did not enter into the
equation. 1t was the lawyer who
had specialized that Mr.. Wilson had
in mind.
When Mr.. Moore discovered him
self incapable of teamwork he retir-
ed-the proper step in the premises
Just when he had the first inkling
that he was in the wrong pew is not
known. Some persons think it was
soon after he began work. If so, he
deserves credit for delaying his de-
parture until he became satisfied OF
where his duty lay.
1t is asserted that president
should have under him in discharg-
ing his diplomatic duties only such
men as he knows, and knows to be
in agreement, or willing to come to
an agreement, with his policies. And
yet no president should hold himself
superior to the advice of men in
position to advise him.
Much depends, of course, upon
confidence born of acquaintanceshiI
and afiliation. For example: Sup.
pose Mr.. Wilson's first thought hat
been of the Mexican situation, even
then very grave. Suppose he had
known the American ambassador
and suppose the ambassador after
investigating the situation had rec
commended the recognition of the
Huerta government as the best way
out of a bad fix. Should we not
have seen Mr.. Wilson take that step?
Would not his confidence in his
friend have induced him to follow
his friends advice? Very likely,
notwithstanding his detestation OF
the manner of President Huerta' s
accession to power.
But the man whom Mr.. Wilson
found in the Enthusiastically at
Mexico City was personally a
stranger to him, and moreover re-
publican. Henry Lane Wilson had
no influence with Woodrow Wilson
His opinion of the Mexican situa-
ton went for naught at the White
House, Notwithstanding his famil-
iarity with the business and his
knowledge of the Mexican officials
He thought the recognition Of Huer-
ia by this government would serve
good purpose both for Mexico and
the United States, and so recon-
mended. And at that time Europe
agreed with that judgment; and a
good many Americans now do.

The Burlington Hawkeye says
that "bust the trusts" is vigorous
phrase for a political platform, but
when effort is made to put the dec
laration into law many unforeseen
difficulties are encountered. "It is
little like trying to raise corn by
legislation instead of blowing and
planting" the Hawkeye adds.

C. A. Weaver Of the Des Moines
Capital was known as something Of
a poet when he resided in Webster
City during the early years of his
editorial career and his friends here
will be glad that he is cultivating
his abilities in that line. His latest
effort, which appeared in the Capt.
tai, is as follows:
THE germ of spring is in the air,
Although you may not see it there
At last reports the poet was
still among the living, which bears
strong and irrefutable testimony to
the forebearance and forgiving spir-
it of Capital readers.

on the charge of gambling on a
Great Western train, on complaint
of Judge Lee, were fined $25 and

the order of Judge Lee to the rail-

There is a crank at Eagle Grove
who thinks city councils should be
limited to the meager powers enjoy
ed by kings of old. Just hear him
croak in the Eagle Groves Times: In
the time of the long ago principle
was laid down that"just governments
derive their powers from the con-
sent of the governed" This princi-
pie has stood the test of many gen.
erations whether applied to Kings
of England or to members of the
city council. Therefore we are ask
ing, where is the justice in allowing
six gentlemen afflicted with paving
tits to sit in council and lay down
laws involving the rights of a hun
dred or more property owners in
this small village without consid-
ering the consent of the governed?
1t is nothing new in warfare in
such countries as Mexico for the
men in authority to capture prom
inent or rich people and demand a
ransom, as Villa is doing. This
looks outrageous to us, but Villa
must have money in his business
and must get it in some way. Such
countries as the United States, Eng
land, France, ETC., can borrow all
the money they need to carry on a
war, but Villa cannot do that and
it is nothing new for him and men
in his circumstances to demand ran
som for the return of a rich mans
son. And If the ransom is not forth
coming there is not a shadow of a
doubt but that the victim held will
be killed at the appointed time. This
step is an absolute necessity to
make other rich men who have sons
respond promptly to the demands Of
the rebel chief under similar cir
cumstances. If war in this country
is what Gen. Sherman says it was,
what do you suppose he would say
of it in such a place as Mexico?

THE Virginian' Coming.

Lancaster theatre-goers have a
treat in store for them soon, for in
the cast of 1.-THE Virginian" which
comes to Hatch's opera house on
Nov. End are two men who will be
we'll remembered for their excellent
work last winter in "Alias Jimmy
Valentine.
Jesse Hale who played the cool,
calculating, crafty, plain-c cloths de-
tective Doyle, will be seen as
'Trampas'' the half breed cowboy,
cattle rustler and gunman who i'm
presses the audience as fire eater
until the last moment, when he
proves himself to be an arrant,
whimpering coward when the
Virginian calls his bluff, and the
final curtain goes down with Trampas
sprawled out on the stage with a
bullet in his heart. Of course, the
part he plays is thankless one, but
newspaper critics have been saying
very nice things about his ability,
etc. some even going as far as to say
"the best acted heavy role ever
played. -
But the man who will no doubt be
best remembered is Chas. Hawkins
who played "Bill Avery the old
time BURGLAR, who reforms and be-
comes a night watch. Later it IS ne
who furnishes the double negative
photograph which helps Jimmy to es-
tablish an alibi which almost (but not
Quite convinces Doyle that he is on
the wrong track. In '.The Virgin
ian'', Mr.. Hawkins has a part that is
said to be the best he has ever play
ed, it is that of Honey Virgins
the comical, whole souled cowboy who
is willing to help the Virginian mix
the babies up at the dance, but I'M
willing to take the blame when the
angered fathers pull their shooting
irons.' He has the principal comedy
role, and from his first entrance to
his last exit, he keeps the audience in
laughter by his quaint. homely re-
marks and actions.

HOW THE TAXPAYERS
GET 1T IN THE NECK

Once more the taxpayers of Grant
County get a beautiful jab in the
neck in the way of special taxes.
In report just received by the
county clerk from the secretary of
state at Madison, showing the ap-
portionment of taxes due the state
from this county, we find the follow
ing, to which the attention of tax
payers is respectfully called:
When the apportionment COM
mittee appointed by the county board
last fall made its report, few towns
were induced to make appeal from
that report to the state tax com
mission. A man was sent here to
take testimony in the matter. He
stayed one day. No change in
the assessment was ordered but the
county is now asked to pay the
state S159.51 therefor Pretty good
pay what?
Complaint was entered against the
assessments reported by the assessors
in the towns of Potosi, Millville and
Woodman. The county is charged fol-
reassessment in those towns as fol
lows:
