Villa Has It Right.-Persons who
had been hoping that General Villa
would fall to fighting with Carranza
and thus force us to take n hand in
Mexico, will be disappointed by the
formers frank and patriotic statement
of his position. What he stands for is
the abolition of military and the restor-
alton of constitutional government
and the only fight which he will wage
will be political fight for the accom-
plishment of these objects. In that
fight he appeals for the moral help OF
the American people. This is the sort
of fight that we all want to see
"waged" in Mexico and kept up until
it is successful. The former bandit
and outlaw seems to have got the heart
of the whole situation, and if he makes
that kind of Il fight he will have the
hearty sympathy of the great majority
of AmericanS.-B Baltimore American.

Regarding the
Monument

The Monument is the sole product
Of man which Is expected to exist,
without change or repair, for all
time-beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which Is only
as long as the span Of life. 1t may
help to form a record, but it Is erect
ed as a tribute Of love to those who
have passed ito that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns" AS
such, let it be a thing Of beauty, not
dark and somber, but bright and
cheerful; not typifying earthly sor-
row, but symbolizing undying love.
And as architecture Is brought to us
from the past by the tombs of the
ancients, so let us pass on to those
in our steps, some worthy expression
of our conception Of beauty.
