Villa and Carranza.

1t is evident that Villa and Car
rama are in no mood to meet on the
plane OF compromise and adjustment
to bring order out of the Mexican
chaos. Proposals for an armistice
made by Villa looking to conferences
to effect settlement have been re-
Jected by Carranza, and fighting has
been renewed. There has been little
hope from the outset OF the new Amer
ican policy toward Mexico that these
two factions would be brought to-
gether even in the face OF possible
intervention. There is nothing in
the record to justify the hope of
Mexican peace based upon compro-
mise OF the issues between these two
sclf-constituted leaders. And yet this
would be the most effective means of
settlement. and the present indica-
tions Of implacable hostility tend
seriously to complicate the situation.
Meanwhile, the American task of re-
iieving the stress of the Mexican peo-
pie calls for generous gifts from this
country. The United States cannot
permit the inhabitants of the neigh
boring republic to starve because of
the snarchical conditions which the
ambitions Of few men have pre-
cipitated

The Resignation and Its Effect.

Secretary Bryan has resigned in
devotion to peace. Does his resig-
nation tend to produce peace or war; :
The resignation of the Secretary
of State on the eve OF the dispatch
of the second note from this govern
ment to Germany on the subject OF
submarine warfare in token OF his
dissent from that note might seem to
indicate a radical difference of opln-
ion in America. and in that respect
would be an encouragement to the
German view that public sentiment
in the United States is negligible. be-
Ing divided From that viewpoint the
effect of the resignation would be IN
the direction of war, both in the sug-
gestion that the second note is rea-
sonably provocative of war and that
the country is not unit in its sup
port
But it is necessary in this matter to
consider Mr. Bryan's individuality, his
adherence to the principle of peace
for peace's sake. with no reference to
the question at issue. the statement
made early in his incumbency that
there would be no war while he was
Secretary of State. his consistent
work for arbitration and his re-
sistance to all forms of military pre-
paredness. whether for possible Mexi-
can operations or for any other pur-
poses. Throughout his career in the
State Department he has been at
work along radical lines of peace
propaganda. These considerations
take away some of the effect of Mr..
Bryan's resignation as indicating any
serious difference of opinion in
America on the present question of
submarine warfare in its bearing
upon Americas sea rights and upon
the unlawful destruction of American
lives and property.
On the other hand the firm adher-
ence of the President to the position
he has taken, even to the extent of
parting with his Secretary of State.
demonstrates his supreme confidence
both in the unimpeachable rightful-
ness of his contention and in the en-
thusiastic support of his policy by
the great body of the American peo-
pie.
From this viewpoint the result of
the resignation of the Secretary of
State is to give additional weight and
impressiveness to the response which
the President is about to make to
Germany. and it should have the ef-
feet, not to bring about war, but by
convincing Germany of the earnest
ness of the American government
and people in respect to reparation
for the Lusitania honicides it should
tend to promote the indefinite con-
tinuance Of peace with honor.

Mr.. Bryan and the Record.

If the administration had started
with difficult and important foreign
questions confronting it-such as now
confront tit is altogether likely
that Mr.. Bryan would not have re-
ceived or desired appointment to the
State Department. He had no stand
ing in the world of diplomacy. He
was not negotiator. but an agitator.
He had made no study of interna-
tional law His whole time had been
given to domestic questions, and his
fame and influence rested solely on
his attitude as to them, which was
we'll and clearly known.
What Mr.. Wilson needed. and what
Mr.. Bryan above all his party asso-
ciates stood ready to supply, was sup
port for the domestic policies enun-
ciated at Baltimore. The democracy
was committed to low tariff, to a
new currency law. and to additional
regulation of trusts. Those were the
leading propositions upon which the
campaign of 1912 had been won. On
all three Mr. Bryan's views were we'll
known. and in the main in accord
with those of Mr.. Wilson.
The legislation of the Sixty-third
Congress reflected Mr.. Bryan's views
as conspicuously as those of Mr.. Will
son. The two officials had worked
together, Mr.. Bryan's friends in Con-
gross under his leadership accepting
the Presidents recommendations and
voting for what the President de-
sired. In that way Mr.. Bryan iusti-
fed his appointment, and did what
no other democrat could have done
for the President.
Then, as bolt from the blue, came
the war. and a new situation for the
administration. Domestic questions
out of the way temporarily, foreign
questions came to the front, and for
a full ten months have held the stage.
The State Department became thus
the most important department un-
der the government.
Until recently, it is stated, Mr..
Bryan and the President had been
in as complete accord as to foreign
as to domestic questions. No phase
of either the Mexican or the Euro
pean question had divided them. But
at last division came, and Mr.. Bryan
retired from the cabinet.
The future is in the lap of the gods,
but about the future no end of speeu-
lation will grow out of this incident.
Mr.. Bryan remains democrat; but
what will he do next year if his party
makes its campaign on the admins
tration's foreign record? His way
will be plain if it elects to appeal to
the country on its domestic record.
AS he was very influential in shap-
ing that, he can in such case take
the stump and with great pleasure
ask for votes for what he is in large
measure responsible. Love me, love
my record.

prevent crime altogether, and in con-
sidering the whipping post it is nee
essary to consider another element.
The community that publicly lashes
wife on the principle of like
curing like, is reverting to barbaric
practice that cannot fail to have a
brutalizing effect upon the public.
Humanity was not improved by the
old torturing penalties inflicted by
the law in medieval times, and even
in comparatively modern days. The
pillory and stocks did not check
vagrancy and the dueking stool
proved no corrective for termagants.
The lash is at variance with the
trend of modern sentiment in the
matter OF punishments, and it is
sorry spectacle when an enlightened
community holds to it in the face of
universal sentiment.
Arguments against the whipping
post do not in the slightest condone
the brutality of wife-beater. He
is miserable, contemplate creature,
but far more effective punishment
than the application of few blows
of perhaps perfunctorily applied
lash would be to put him to work on
the rock pile and pay his wages for
the term of his detention to his wife
in lieu of his services. The man who
is publicly beaten for the shameful
offense of beating his wife is likely
to be rendered bitter and vindictive.
Repeated instances are of record of
such punishments, in the few states
where they are still visited upon this
offense, being followed by domestic
tortures, which, just within the law,
are worse than physical pain.

Great Falls Power Possibilities.

Secretary Redheld in his address
before the Chamber of Commerce
pictured a possible Washington of
great industrial activity as result
of the development Of the Great
Falls water power which, he said, was
within the scope OF realization.
Washington was never designed as
an Industrial center, and its law
makers have consistently held to this
policy in the framing of statutes and
the making of regulations. But there
has never been any reason why the
capital should not be busy in the line
of light clean manufactures, giving
employment to intelligent working
men and affording an additional
basis for local prosperity to that of
the governments own works here.
The development of the Great
Falls power has been long-delayed

the experience OF his two prcde-
cessors at the whipping post having
not had sufficient terrors for him to
cause him TO abstain from his bru-
taiity at home. The value OF any
punishment lies in its possibility of
checking offenscs. 1t has always
been maintained by advocates OF the
lash that the example OF public whip
ping would put stop to oftenses for
which it was prescribed by law, yet
Montgomery county still finds ocea-
sion for its use in the face of widely
exploited applications.

vey with the idea of utilizing the
force which has heretofore gone to
waste. Various estimates have been
made of the potential power of the
falls. 1t is assured that the cataract
will produce at least sufficient cleo
trio current to light the entire city,
but some estimates have gone beyond
this point and indicated bright COM
mercial possibilities. An appropria-
ton for the necessary survey has
been sought unavailingly. Congress
is neglecting business opportunity
in refusing the necessary funds for
this investigation.
With the Great Falls harnessed
Washington could undoubtedly de-
velop materially in the industrial
field. There are many lines of manu-
featuring for which the Capital city
is we'll adapted. With ample COM
munications by both rail and water,
it is excellently situated for the re.
ceipt of materials and the distribu-
ton of products. Had this not been
the capital, under the exclusive juris-
diction of Congress, it is not to be
doubted that the Great Falls power
would long since have been devel
oped to the end of supplying all the
necessary power for municipal pur-
poses and large surplus for indus

ST Woggles.

ST Woggles was a grocer's clerk,
Who grew superior to his work.
He got to thinking more and more
That he knew how to run the store
He pointed out with feelings grim
The profits that were due to him,
And he attributed each loss
To interference by the boss.
1t fairly made him weep to see
How obstinate the boss could be,
ST reasoned with him and he tried
To check those efforts misapplied.
That careless boss, he answered back
And said that He would Run the
Shack!
The conscience of ST Woggles burned,
His thoughts to desperation turned,
Till finally his fretted mind
Became so fierce that ST Resigned
Sad was the day when ST no more
Came round to open up the store.
And weigh the merchandise with care
And gossip with friendly air.
And yet the people came to buy.
Some few said, Whats become of

Keeps doing business as Of yores

ONE BRAND OF COOPERATION
Success Cannot Be Attained by Sup porting Scheme of One Man
 Farmers Must Work Together.

The least satisfactory business ar rangement imaginable for farmers is for a group of them to cooperate with a professional promoter Some of these gentlemen are abroad in the land again, and it is worth while to be on guard against them Twenty years ago the creamery builder left his shadow in the central West gathered in a rich harvest of real money and was seen no more. The ereameries he promoted stayed sometimes year, sometimes longer but most of them eventually moldered away. the ma chinery, perhaps obsolete at the begin ming, rusted, and the farmer investors cherished their experience. The fault with the operation was that a cream cry usually was organized where there were not enough cows to support it and the machinery and equipment were sold at a highly inflated price.
 More recently there has been talk of organizing cooperative packing plants along similar lines, but this has not become more than local epidemic as yet. From Missouri comes word that the creamery promoters are beginning again, the soothing hand of time having dimmed the mem ory of previous disasters From Mich igan comes word of a new form of CO., operation, also among dairymen, which is an organization for the pur- chase of purebred bull. The ani. nal is sold at two or three times his proper value, and the organization left without sufficient interest to SUD- port itself. There is only one brand of successful cooperation and that is the kind which is heartily supported by all the co-operators, and not con- cocted by some one man who. by his eloquence, holds the group together and collects their money from them.- Orange Judd Farmer.

ROOM FOR MORE FELLOWSHIP
So Unattractive to Many People Work for Common Cause.

The following is taken from Reela- nation Record:
 It is not the hard work or the ex- posture, or even the poverty. of the farmer or his wife which makes farm life so unattraetive to so many of our people. It is the lack of team work. l have never known men and women, particularly young men and women of our race. to shrink from hardship if they could feel the touch of elbows and have the sense of comradeship which the soldier has. Our boys and girls. as we'll as the men and women. of the farm should develop team work. They should get together and work for common cause. as the soldiers. Touch elbows with your neighbors and get the sense of eomradeship, as sol diers do.-Dr. T. N. Carver.

MIDDLEMaN IS i NECESSITY
Machinery for Efficient Marketing Be comes Urgent When Perishable
 Goods Are to Be Handled.

In discussing the present marketing organizations the agriculture depart ment's specialists do not look upon the "middlemen" altogether as a parasite because economic laws would not per init the long continued existence of a marketing agency that was acting solely as a parasite.
 Several important factors have con tributed to the establishment of many middlemen as necessary agents in the present system of marketing. Production during the last decade has increased greatly, and improved methods and facilities for handling the increase have been introduced, Keep ing pace with increased production has come the demand of consumers for more elaborate and efficient service. Seldom is the fact considered that service can besome very expensive luxury. With the widening of the dis tance between the city and the sources of it's fruit and vegetable supplies there has arisen the necessity for special agencies to meet the changed conditions.
 The present distributive machinery, with all it's strong points and it's weak nesses. has been created of necessity. and it has weathered the storm of much adverse criticism Every part of the country is now enjoying the per ishable products of the most remote districts. Any readjustment of pres ent market practices must be based upon the fact that some agency must continue to perform the functions of the present day middleman.
 The problems involved in handling goods through a large market differ greatly from those of production. Usually ene man or one firm cannot handle both production and distribu- tion and succeed at both. The vast volume of business transacted at large market centers makes necessary some special agencies which can devote all their energies to distribution Espe- cially does the machinery for efficient marketing become necessary when perishable goods are to be handled. Commodities of this sort must De moved rapidly, must be distributed evenly and from their very nature permit of no weakness i'll distributive machinery, if they are to be sold at a profit.

HARD TO MAKE ENDS MEET'
Farmer Buys Machinery and Supplies at Retail Prices and Sells Product

 manufacturer who bought all his raw materials. tools. machinery and supplies at the high retail price and sold his product at the low wholesale price would expect but one result from his nterprise-failure. Instead of this childish procedure. he goes in= to the market, buys his raw materials and supplies at the lowest wholesale figure, manufactures his product and puts it on the market at profit If his own single purchasing power is not great enough to secure the lowest prices on his raw materials, he joins a group of other manufacturers en- gagged in like business, in order that their combined purchasing power may command the best G e., lowest prices.
 Not so with the farmer. He buys his machinery and supplies at the highest retail prices, sells his products at the lowest wholesale prices. and wonders why he finds it so hard to make ends meet" The shrewdest captain of industry would become bankrupt as the result of such policy. Let the farmers think 1t over. There's a reason.
