\ DIFFICULT NEIGHBOR

General CarranZa appears to be q
rather difficult neighbor. He takes
the position that if the United States
undertakes to use force to put stop
to the reckless shooting on the other
side OF the Mexican border, which
has endangered the lives of American
citizens on their own territory, that
act will be "a demonstration of hos
tility by the United States Such an
attitude is absurd Yet it is In keep
ing with much that has gone before.
For some unknown reason, Carran-
Ia has tried all along in a manner, II
not actually hostile, at least uncordi-
al and suspicious, toward the United
States. He has been almost as diff
cult to deal with as Huerta, and If
our government had been of a quar-
relsome disposition we would have
been in fight with him long ago.
The United States has been kind
ly and tolerant in it's dealings with all
the MeXicans. 1t has endured much.
1t has taken things from Mexico
which it would not have taken from
a more powerful nation: and it has
done so because of realization of
MeXico's weakened and disorganized
conditions. Allowance has been made
for the nation and its leaders.
Carranza appears to be incapable
Of approaching this. He was ready to
quarrel with us over the seizure of
Vera Cruz, though it was made very
clear that we had no intention Of re-
tanning the city or meddling with the
government of the country. Our
promises were most scrupulously car
ried out. and of our free will we
withdrew our troops from the city,
and there is not now an American
soldier in Mexico. Our occupation of
the city. while not intended for that
purpose, undoubtedly fastened the re-
tirement OF Huerta from the country
and the entrance Of Carranza into
the capital. 1t was not our fault If
he could not maintain himself there.
Our voluntary retirement from Vera
Cruz gave Carranza and his present
associates a place Of refuge when
they found the capital getting too hot
for them. Certainly the man has no
legitimate ground Of complaint against
the United States
If, after all that has come and gone,
Carranza imaginee that any attitude
of wounded dignity will restrain our
authorities from protecting our own
citizens. our own territory. he mis-
takes greatly the temper Of the Amer
lean government and the American
people. If the Mexicans must right
among themselves, let them fight
Doubtless they must have it out. There
may come a time when the United
States will feel constrained to take a
hand and attempt to bring about

wEARYlNG OF ROOSEVELT?

1.-THE public" says Colonel Roose-
velt, "ts getting tired of me-" Coupled
with this statement the colonel says
that the public is wearying Of reforms
and reformers. Is this quite true,
and, il not, just what is the situa-
tion?
The fact seems to be that the ca
pacity of the American public for
thrills has been beyond It's limit, and
1T fails to respond. a human being
can remain keyed up beyond the nor
NAL for only a limited time. He may
be thrilled by a daring feat He may
be thrilled several times in succession.
But he cannot live forever in 81 state
of thrill He must give his nerves a
rest And, il he does not do this vo-
UNFAIRLY, they will take a rest in
spite of him.
Some real and some fictitious re-
formers have been thrilling tho Amer
jean public for u long time. The pub
lie responded. but it could not keep
IL up. Ii had to have Il rest. Colonel
Roosevelt is very vigorous man, and
he has not appreciated this, unless
the appreciation has come recently.
He kept the country standing on its
tip toes for a. long time. IIe would
have shown wisdom had he quit a lit
tie earlier: but he did not, and the
country simply settled down to stand
in natural position and rest its
muscles for a while.
Roosevelt has been a disappoint-
ment to many people. not because he
has been active. but because he has
failed to ma ke the most effective use
OF his wonderful equipment.

An informal tea on Saturday after noon, followed by supper and dance. will usher in the Country club season. While there have been several small aI1aIrs ana at least TWO notable weddings this month like past years, it has remained for the Country club to inaugurate the seven months of gayety that make ur the Phoenix social calendar. There will undoubtedly be more smart downtown events than for merly, but this will affect house af- fairs rather than club functions. As the most exclusive, as we'll as the most cleVerly managed of all our O. cial organizations, the Country cluo is the faVOrite rendezvous of fash icnable folk. The golf links md tennis courts will attract many out this week, for the club house will be open to members several days pre- ceding the tea that will be presided over by members of the house and entertainment committees.

In the club department column of The Republican weekly for the past year, articles have appeared by prom inent club women of Phoenix. The subjects have had direct bearing on matters pertaining to the clubs and have been widely read by those in terested in club activities here and elsewhere Last Sunday Mrs. A. w. Morrill, contributed a paper on The effect of the European War Upon Art and Literature" It created such favorable comment that hereafter from time to time other topics Of like scope and magnitude will be given publicity by this paper. Today Mrs. J. l.. B. Alexander has written splendid article on the wars eff fleets upon the industries of this country, something in which practi- cally everyone is interested.

THE EFFECT OF THE EUROPEAN WAR UPON THE INDUSTRY
 OF THE UNITED STATES
{ By Mrs. J. ', B. AIeXander)

HumanltdrianS would have us De- lieve that practical survey of Uncle Sam's assets and liabilities resultant from the great European conflict of the hour is at variance with the
 Universal Brotherhood of Man"
 ideal; that our sympathies for the nations embroiled in the awful car mage of what seems senseless war should be so great that there would be no room for consideration of sell fish interests But as with the in-
 dividual, so with the nation-self
 preservation is the universal first law; hence, our keen interest in the result to the United States of this almost universal European conflict.
 Naturally, as we search the record. it is with the hope that cause for cor graduation will reward us: never, however, with the thought that we may profit at the expense of less for
 tunate nations; simply that out of an existing evil for which we as nation are in no way re-
 sponsible and which we were power less to avert, some good may accrue
 to us. However, as recent leading periodical eXhorts us, we are not to imagine that distress in Europe spells prosperity in America. The war may stimulate a few businesses; it will paralyze some businesses; it will seriously handicap many busi- nesses." Another writer says: Broadly speaking. other peoples i'm poverishment cannot contribute to our wealth. Prosperity can be diffused while great disaster and loss cannot be localized" Yet, on the other
 hand. It's an ill-wind that blows nobody good Take, for instance, Il
 sudden flood in a river which washes bridge from it's piers. bringing about inconvenience, destruction and disas- ter The necessity of rebuilding the bridge gives employment, circulates money and stimulates profession to an effort toward perfect design of bridge thus turning injury into bene fit.

THE VICE COMMISSION.

The Wisconsin Vice Commission
held . series of hearings at Superior
and many startling disclosures were
made as regards the moral conditions
of that city. Testimony showed that
immoral houses in Superior paid over
1000 per month in ''fines'' to that
city through the municipal court and
that no record was kept of these
"fines." The commission began its
hearings at Lacrosse and from there
adjourned to Superior. The hearings
so far have developed some sensation
al testimony and considerable bad
feeling has resulted at both Lacrosse
and Superior. The commission in
vestigated the conditions at Ashland
on Wednesday and Thursday and
from Ashland will go to Oshkosh.
The commission is composed of the
following members: Senators Teas
dale of Sparta, Monk of Neillsville
and Linley of Superior and Assembly
men James Dolan of Platteville, Carl
Minkley of Milwaukee and Geo. w.
Bingham of Friendship. The hear
ings are open to the public and any
citizen having anything to offer has
the privilege of being heard. Every
phase of municipal government may
be embraced in the hearings, includ-
ing the Sunday opening of saloons,
segregation of vice, etc. The con-
mission will make thorough investi-

MUTT AND JEFF.

An era of hilarity, gayety and pros
perity should be inaugurated with
exceptional results at the Grand,
where the new Gus Hill attraction,
"Mutt and jeff are underlined for
Thursday, January %. Those who
have seen the production declare it
the most ambitious affair sponsored
by this progressive and astute man
ager who was the first to apply the
popular newspaper cartoon into stage
form. This season MUTT and jeff"
will be seen under what may be
aptly called unusual and unique con-
ditions The ever lovable and much
admired twain are to appear in a
comedy melodrama written by Owen
Davis and entitled MUTT and JEFF in
Panama" 1t is in three acts and
three scenes with a plot said to be
consistent and interest compelling
throughout. In the way of whole
some fun the piece is easily the best
of any of the previous "Mutt and
jeff series. Laughter is the domi-
mating keynote and each situation, line
and dialogue is of the scintillating
poignant brand in which genuine fun
exudes. If Mr.. Hill in the past has
done well by these two wonderfully
popular cartoon creations, it must be
said that this season he has eclipSed
all previous efforts, not alone in the
production, which is high class and
thoroughly up to the minute, but in
the company, which is large and
capable one and the scenic investi-
ture and other accessories out of the
beaten path. All told it is an offer
ing different from the rest and most
original, so what more can be asked.
