It is the striving for a thing that wins the crown, not the posses sion of it.-Myrtle Glenn Roberts.
Villa and Carranza

The constitutionalist cause is well ad vanced that it could probaoly go through to a cessful end without the assistance of Villa whose disaffecton toward Carranza is persistently re- ported. But without Villa it could never have se- cured good start If Villa should merely with draw from military operations the cause might now suffer nothing more than delay in the carrying of it's military program; but it is conceivable that he would content himself in d state of nac- tvity country where everything else is stirring If he should himself up against Carranza there is little doubt that the latter would go down Villa would be at the head of anarchy if state of anarchy in any circumstances may be said to have head.
 How wide the breach is between these leaders is doubtful but that there is breach certain. The indications are that the provisional president is attempting to eclipse the brightening star of Villa whose brilliancy has been more and dmmng his own. It has been evident ever since the fall of Juarez that Villa has been all- powerful. Carranza held his place only by Villas consent. Villa proceeded entirely upon his own initiative dscharging the civil functions of the provisional president when it suited him do SO No part of the credit for the remarkable military successes belonged to the head of the provisional government Carranza fgurehead, of the time in o0scurity. Now and then he could not resist impulse to issue proclamation which nobody needed. Practically in Sonora eight months ago, his movements in the of the line of conquest directed by Villa who told him when and where establish the of the pro- visional government
 When we took Vera Cruz Carranza asserted himself, but he quickly subsided when Villa showed himself be his superior. only a military leader but also statesman, statesmen go in Mexico.

It then that heard the earliest of his break with Villa. It then he created the military zones, with the evident purpose of reducing Villa to a state of inactivity in the north. Villa now
 Such break has been reported would seriously interfere with whatever this country has of Mexican pocy-prmarily the promotion of constitutionalist We would shortly be concerned with mediation between Villa and Carranza than with the halting proceedings at Niagara Falls which tolerating rather than assisting

The Globe Election Law

According a decision by the superior court of Cila county, learn from the Miami Silver Belt. the election laws of the state do not apply cities and This decision rendered in cases by the state against the city marshal and city clerk of Globe, who charged with having illegally registered voters for the late municipal election. It was charged that they had registered some persons who could neither nor write and others who had no legal residence in Globe
 Whether these charges were true or not was determined, since demurrers to the complaints sustained the demurrers resting largely upon the contention that the election laws of Arizona relate only and county elections and municipal elections.
 Counsel for the defense urged that the legs- lature in enacting the election laws traversed many roads and had left confused trail which could be followed with certainty It is admitted that the election laws, like many other laws, are am bguous and that it is uncertain what the legisa- meant; it is quite certain that the legisa- ture all times fully aware of it's own intent But there things that clear One of these is that have a legal residence, Another is that he be able to read the En - glish language, and another is that person may be registered unless he would be otherwise qualified the election for which the registration is being taken.
 As the general application of the election laws all elections believe that the constitu tion itself is clear enough for the layman of age intelligence and it would seem therefore, that a lawyer should have darkling inkling of it's meaning.
 Section ,, Article NII of the constitution pre- scrbes who shall be entitled to vote at any gen eral election for any office" There is an ex ception to this prescription in the case of school elections where could vote though this eX- ception since been rendered unnecessary by the adoption of the suffrage amendment.
 IL be conceived that the legislature in tended that each municipality should be law unto itself in the matter of elections That certainly was not of the makers of the constitution.

The President and Business

Nobody in this country making a partic- ularly vociferous complaint that times were hard until the president himself mentioned the subject in a reassurng way. Certainly there have been signs anywhere of panic There a slowing down of business than a year ago to observe the progress and the later effect of tariff legisa tion, and activity has yet been resumed There also the pending currency which it was generally believed would be beneficial The country did not want to enter into extensive mitments It wanted to be free and foot-loose to avail itself of the expected benefits. There also the inchoate yet inchoate anti trust leg islation whose effect good bad curately gauge. It wonder that business stood still. Twenty years business in similar circumstances would have been in wild panic.
 There widespread criticism of the ad- mnistration. There a general disposition aid it and to await patiently the results. Mean while, the congressional elections were approach ing; there began be murmurngs of discontent in industrial centers. The tariff in six months had failed produce any of the results that the administration had promised it was, in fact, pro ducing contrary results. Our trade had fallen month by month with accommodating rapidity. Our imports were as steadily and rapidly increasing, and yet consumers felt relief from the burden of high prices
 It was at this juncture that the president felt that something ought to be said and he proclaimed that the situation entirely psychoogical;' that our troubles purely imaginary. The times were all right the exports all right if we could put ourselves into the right way of thinking
 Now, couple of weeks later, the president be- lieves that something is really wrong but it is big business which is determined to thwart the plans of the administration He has given to the public

MONTREAL STARS STAND ON OBJECTION

Year by year, the Star has been legislating within it's walls against objectionable advertise ments-those of indecate construction. and those of misleading and fraudulent intent This duty we have taken up voluntarily and some cost to our selves, because believe that newspaper has as much responsibility for the character the adver- Using it carries for the quality of the news it publishes. And We feel d of satisfaction that our contribution to the cleansing of the pub licty columns of the press has been without re- suits.

Of this achievement he himself says that he has "perofrmed the remarkable task of se- lectng and appointing postmasters at 50 per cent of all presidential offices and g per cent of all fouth- class offices"

The tarantula is very large spider with very efficient poison fangs and jumping record.
 When distance, which is the proper way to view d tarantua, he consists mostly of legs. He has eight long, hairy legs surrounding body almost large a peanut Altogether he is about big a small plate and pleasant to look at a rattlesnake
 The tarantula is found in very hot climates He begins become disagreeably numerous in southern Texas and increases numbers and feroc- ity with the increasing heat of the tropics No nat urast has yet sent back account of the neither regions but is quite likely that the tarantua is of the oldest inhabitants of Hades.
 The tarantula does live houses and catch flies like the domesticated spider of the north but nhabs and hcles iE the ground and re- mains in perpetual ill humor. When he is ap- preached by anyone his calling list he rises rapidly upon several his hind legs leaps at the intruder. The leap of the tarantula is fatal but if he manages to make small hole in his vic tim with his powerful jaws, said victim swells up

 The tarantua is very fond of banana planta- tions and likes other better than to crawl into a bunch of bananas and go to sleep for few weeks Frequently he awakes in country grocery store in Illinois. When this happens he comes forth to see the proprietor and get explanation. Shortly after this the human contents of the store may be seen leaving by the doors and windows and the fire de- partment is called out. It must be very amusing be tarantula in a strange and timid country
 The female tarantula has one noble and endear ing trait however. which should make her less popular with society. After she has chosen hus- band she almost always eats him. This keeps down the supply of tarantuas very materially and is one of the blessings of Mexico. If Mexican dictators would only follow the tarantula's example and eat each other that country would become much hap pier
