IT'S WAR.

The die is cast" as our ancient
friend. J. Caesar remarked on famous
historic occasion
Uncle Sam Is engaged in war and
there is no blinking the fact. Wheth-
er it is to be merely a fight with
IIuerta and his followers or with the
entire Mexican people remains to be
seen 1t depends upon the attitude
which the constitutionalists take.
II IS one OF the characteristic stunts
Of the destiny which presides over the
affairs OF nations that war comes un-
der the leadership OF one of the most
pacific men who ever occupied the
White House and with a man direct
ing our foreign relations who has
spoken more eloquently for peace than
any other man OF his time
II Is certain that neither Wilson nor
Bryan has any heart for war and that
they are not engaged in the pesent
strife through any choice Of their own.
Ne feel sure that they are deeply
grleyea because necessity has driven
them to such stern measures. but be
that as It may. we have war on our
hands and we cannot avoid playing the
part which the exigencies OF fate have
assigned to US.
Does it mean that this country must
10 into Mexico as it did into Cuba or
into the Philippines and assume per
manent responsibility for peace and
the progress OF civilization in that
country There are many patriotic
men who take this view, but we hope
that the way will be opened whereby
the present turmoil can be dissipated
and the Mexican people be placed in
position 70 work out their own des
tiny nnaided II may be fairly ques-
iIoned, however, whether this is possl
bic.

met as they arise. In the present

Last summer visited a community.
and one Of the first things : noticed
was the small number OF houseflies.
Upon investigation found the reason
why this neighborhood elected TO put

screened traps about the kitchen doors
and near the stables. all rags and rub

The neighbors kept the manure IN
flyproof pits and the manure sprinkled
with small shoyelful Of chloride OF
lime.
Since the flies breed in the stable
more than elsewhere, those progressive
farmers cleaned the stable every day
and sprinkled lime on the floors
The results Of these clean conditions
