THE WARFARE ON THE BORDER

good deal of mystery surrounds
the conditions on the Texas-9iexican
border. The facts Of disorder and
h,oodshed are clear enough. but
whether the operations OF the Mexi-
can bandits have any definite pur-
pose behind them, or are simply the
natural result OF the anarchy in the
Southern republic. have yet to be
made known. II the authorities at
Washington have any information on
the subject they are surrounding it
rith the same inviolable secrecy with
which most OF the intelligence sur
rounding Mexican affairs has been
shrondec. An inevitable result Of
this policy has been that II there Is
Justification for the course which
has been adopted the public has had
no inkling OF it. and If unjust deduc-
tiUns have been drawn from the lack
OF succe-s Of President Wilson's
methods in dealing with the Mexican
problem the fault must be placed
where II belongs. naTely, on the
shoulders OF the President himself or
on those OF his official and unofficial
advisers.
Texas is amply protected against
the Threads Of Mexican marauders.
and too much Importance need not
be attached 10 the gaporings of those
leaders OF the brigands who pretend
that their aim IS the restoration OF
Texas to the sovereignty OF Mexico.
But the really disturbing element in
the situation is the presence close to
the border Of the organized forces OF
Carranza. II these forces are In any
way responsible for the violation Of
American soal the suspicion will be
strengthened that there is serious
purpose to provoke the United States
into intervening In Mexico. With all
the light that recently has been
thrown upon the actual situation on
the border and upon the character
and purposes OF the Mexican leaders
the government is not likely 20 be
drown into such trap, but the situ-
alton has n any serious aspects. SO
Z far as General Funston and the mil
itary side Of the situation are con
cerned there is no cause for anxiety,
but the possible relation between the
present disturbances and the recent
efforts Of the WASHINGTON govern
ment In conjunction with the A B c
diplomats to bring about peace IN
Mexi-o is something which will have
to be cleared up II the govern
ments previous management OF Mex

Greater success there would be less

Justify confidence. The nation can
only hope that wise counsels will
prevail and that a way out viii be
found from a tangle which now

A concert of the powers is a musi-

music is not allowed, and in which
contra-bands never play a part. By
looking at a list of the Kelleys,

the big continental shindy, however.

of the leading instruments when the

Men and nature are such symbols Of
each other all the while,
Watching one and watching t'other
makes a fellow want to smile.
You have read. OF course. the papers,
telling Of the awful floods
When the people left their houses
clad In mighty scanty duds.
All OF this because some mill-dam
in a valley far away
Busted loose and sent her waters
rushing onward 10 the bay.
And I've noticed in some people Of
explosive ways and miens
That they act lot like rivers, when
somebody spills the beans.
I have heard their lingual fioodgates
fetching loose TO beat the band
When existing circumstances seemed
too much for them to stand.
They've impersonated freshets in my
presence, without doubt,
For a food OF language followed
when the damn went outl

ing an Endorsement for receipt Of

A. The mere fact that one at

the date and amount, to receipt for
part payment of debt or claim, will
do no harm. 1t cannot show more
than it purports to show. Further,

I curse the styles of women fair,
Which hide their features to the
nose; SD
They're burdened far too much With
hair
When they display themselves In
those Summer furs.
In contrast to this lavish hair
We have the youth who tries to
grip
Us with visage sadly bare
When he disports upon his lip
Summer fuzz.
So why not let aspiring men,
Who DER their scanty tendrils
gloat,
Remove both fuzzy evils, then,
By taking from milady's throat
Some of hers?
