NEED SELF RESTRAINT.

Just what line of reasoning. is used by those street speakers in New York city is impossible 10 grasp. Rather do they indicate that reasoning is abandoned when they treat the gov erument, patriotism and the flag in the most deroga tory terms knowing full well what effect it will have upon the crowd which they can assemble and then seek safety in the folds of old Glory and demand police protec- tion. This is wonderful respect for the rights and privileges of the land of liberty according to their own in- depreciation and an utter disregard for government and institutions except when they are wanted to uphold and support their dangerous and trouble breeding talk. Their cries for pro- tection only show them poor martyrs to their cause.
 Concerning this riot provoking con- duct the New ' ork Tribune well says: '-The best protection which these pee- pie can have in the present touchy state of the man in the street re- garding the general subject of pa triotism and upholding the govern usenS, b Sslf control The crowd with

STATE ROADS.

The get-together movement which has eliminated in the joining in CO., operative effort by the state highway commissioner and the Good Roads as- sociation marks an important begin ming in behalf of the future state road work IL means a recognition of the need of giving much serious consider alton to this question which has be- come one of the big state problems if good roads are to be obtained and the waste of money prevented It is to the road question that a large part of the state indebtedness is due and be- fore it is increased it should be fully determined whether We are going blindly ahead in the building of cheap and expensive roads or whether the expenditure of money is to be de- voted to the securing of a reasonable degree of permanency. The matter of maintaining badly worn trunk line roads is estimated at the sum of s9GO,- 900 a year, while the needs for extend ing the work of road building to which the state contributes and new trunk lines carry the amount up to a mill lion and three-quarters a year.
 Good roads are an asset when prop erly built but unless there is some reasonable degree of permanency they become an expense which is going to constantly increase and from which only a small return will be obtained It is well that more thought is being brought to bear upon this problem Let us have good roads, but let us get our moneys worth therefrom and not be continually piling up bond is sue after bond issue to be blown or washed away. To bond the state for something which is not going to last but few seasons, is poor practice.

TARIFF RESULTS.

While the effects of the democratic tariff are being felt in this country and the failure of the benefits which were promised as a result of it are being experienced it is an interesting statement which is made by the con- sul at Bradford, Eng, in the daily con- sular and trade reports in regard to the increase in exports from his dis trict to this country since the exist ing tariff went into effect.
 From that district which is an inn portant worsted manufacturing cen- ter, the exports to this country in Feb ruary just passed amounted in value to S2;6S9,000. This represents an in crease of S1931. GOO or approximately 25G per cent. over the amount of sim liar goods which were sent here from that same locality in February, 1913. In worsted cCatings alone there was an increase of nearly 500 per cent in the amount forwarded to this country while there were heavy increases in dress go ot31. Things. including mohair and aIc:aa fabrics and also in wor- sted ard nohair yarns Even in raw wool the reports for those respective months show that nearly three times as much was sent here this year as last.
 This represents that the English mills are getting the benefit of the in creased market which the tariff threw open to them and that as a result it doesn't present a glowing future to the employees of the textile manufac- turing establishments in this country. Even the consumer would find it a hard problem to explain where he is getting a benefit through the opera tions of the tariff now in existence.

VILLAS DIPLOMACY.

A rift in the darkening war cloud was caused by the declaration by Gen eral Villa in command of the rebel army. and later a reiteration thereof, that nothing would cause him to be- come involved in war with the United States. This with the modified inter- pretation which has been given to the statement from General Carranza and the claim of his special agent and also Villa that the head of the constitu- tionaliSt forces is still friendly to this country relieves a situation which threatened greater trouble. There is no question but what the desire of Huerta Is to combine the forces of the federals and rebels against this coun- try, not solely for the defense of Mex ico, but for the furtherance of his own personal cause and in support of his contention in this trouble into which he has rushed. Their help. if it could be obtained. would mean much to him and the attitude of Villa means much 10 this country. It is a terrific body blow to the strategy of Huerta and eases the concern over the rebel atti- tude until further developments occur.
 II Is a situation in which the rebels controlling such portion Of Mexico as they do hold an important influence. but Villa places the whole thing in a nutshell when he declares that he is not to be hoodwinked into pulling Huerta's chestruts out of the fire. The trouble is that of Huertas own seek ing and it will show no lack of pa- triotism on the part of the rebels if Huerta is left alone to take his med icine. The fact Is that Huerta is an enemy of both this country and the rebels and until it is changed the stand of Villa must be regarded as a wise one

A FRIEND TO LATIN AMERICA.

Nothing should receive more dis couragement than the spreading broad cast of the impression that this coun- try is an enemy of Latin America, however much Huerta or other alarm ists hope to stir up sympathy thereby. There is no greater friend of Mexico and other Latin American republics today than the United States. This has been demonstrated many times and must be so recognized by fair minded observers. but through mis- representations and a spirit which is swaped by revolution instead Of jus tice, persistent endeavors have been made to place the country in wrong
 light Huerta would like nothing bet ter than to drag many other republics into his personal fight through mak- ing it appear that the policy of this country was the result of anti-Latin American feeling, even though such could not be farther from the real situation.
 This country is not engaged In con quest: it is not seeking to control any of the Latin American republics. It has and does stand ready as big brother to give it's support and as sistance to their betterment and is en- gagged in the establishment of civiliza- ton in place of savagry and revolu- tion. Peace, order and prosperity is what it desires for each and every Latin American country. The pres ent situation is no indication of a lack of sincerity in it's purpose and no eff fort to make 1t so should go unchal- lenged. It only requires a little re- fection to realize what might have happened to many of the Latin Amer ican states were it not for the protect ing arm of this country.

 Where did you get that lovely bunch of trailing arbutus? How pink the buds arei Eve seen none this season and you know my home is in the city, so I seldom get such treat.
