TOO MUCH CARRANZA.

A few weeks ago 1t was too
much Huerta. but now Carranza
seems to be rocking the boat.
Huerta appears willing to re
tire from the dictatorship of
Mexico, and apparently is en-
deavoring only to save as much
as possible of his face.
But Carranza has shown his
hand. He's balky horse.
He is the fly in the ointment
of peace, and unless he is sum-
marily swatted he will upset
every effort in that direction.
II the United States govern.
ment wants peace In Mexico it
must clip Carranza's wings, for
that bewhiskered patriot has
his optics firmly focused upon
the battered presidential chair
of the land of the Montezumas.

THERE'S A REMEDY.

How many merchants who see
their business gradually slipping
away from them realize the un-
derlying cause of this condition
Of affairs?
Of course there may be q num-
Der of reasons, but generally the
principal one is that tie people
are losing interest because they
never see the merchants adver-
tisements in print.
The business man who never
adyertises can hardly expect to
successfully compete with the
one who makes his ADVERTISING
an important feature OF his busi-
ness.
Advertising of the right kind
will always bring results, and
the buying public reads the ad-
vertisements of a live paper as
rellgiously as it does the news
columns.
The readers OF this paper want
to know something of the wares
the merchants of this town have
for sale. If YOUR ad IS missing
they will probably turn to the
OTHER fellow-the man who
GOES AFTER business, and
GETS TT.

Company the city council snouid
look into the. matter with utmost
consideration for the good and well
fare of the community. The peo-
ple's interests must be safeguard

thorough inquiry must be made
whether this proposed electric line
is bOna-fide or speculative
proposition. So far the promoters
have not shown their hands. quite
certain it is that they are not H.
nancially able to build this ROAD.
1t is quite likely that the Mil
waukee system will build this line.
IL so, why not out with it. why not
let our people know whether or not
the builders are sufficiently strong
to carry the proposed enterprise
through. The citizens of Lynden
will welcome any betterment in its
transportation facilities. but they are
quite averse to granting franchises
indescriminately to men who can or
will not show that sufficient means
are behind proposition to carry 1t
to successful termination.
The company asks for 50-years'
franchise. The tendency now, IN
larger cities especially, is to grant
no franchises to public service
corporations except very short term
franchises. The people have found
that public service corporations
come nearer giving value received
for the peoples money when fran
chises do not guarantee practical
immunity from interference by the
people.
The proposed franchise rs now
drawn will require amendment in
many ways. All proper restrictions
for PUBLIC. safety and public interests
must be placed therein. Some bond
that the work of construction will
not only be started within eighteen
months but pushed to its early
completion should be given
II the francise Is granted by the
council and the road is permitted
to enter Lynden over Liberty street,
the company should be required to
clear and grade that street for its
full width. The speed limit within
the city limits should be confined
to not over four miles an hour. and
provision for the protection of tele-
phone and electric light wiring

where weak candidates force them

Party leaders are doing all in their

The issues in the present cam

have made the voters desperate. Re-

control in this state. They have
no excuses to offer. Log-rOlling pol
itics in our legislature is the chief
cause of big appropriations and
consequent high taxes. The time
has come for new deal. Demo-
ratio amalgamation with Republic
cans to control the Legislature has
left the Democrats equally helpless
in their appeal to the people. The
