Villas Great Opportunity

Villa has good wishes, and the good wishes of
all Americans and most Mexicans. They all wish that
Villa may be safe at last from the storms and perls
Of this life, his bark quietly moOTed in a still cove
the far shore of the Styx, where temptation to
his country cannot annoy him. where bullets from
Springfield and Mauser rifles cannot reach him, and
where bold airmen cannot fly above him to spy out his
lair.
Villa has often expressed his willingness to die for
the sake of his suffering country Now is the best
chance he had in his life in his death; if he
be alive let him choose TO die; if he be dead let him
do himself the kindness to stay dead Thus only
he his country it from wreck and ruin and
his people from greater misery than he ever knew.
No wishes Villa any harm. Everybody wishes
for him the quetest safest ecurest quickest Oblivion
imaginable 1t is not necessary to invoke for him the
sokeTs job to desire for him tortures of slow pain
full change racking pain, before after death
Oblivion is enough. He lives lived according to his
light, and his light was bad He is not altogether
and alone responsible for that. He has done all the
harm ought to be allowed to do in lifetime
and for the sake of the world he ought to be willing
leave the work Of butchery trained and educated
who kill with better discrimination than he
learned to do.
Villa doesn't pick his victims scientifically. He has
left many of his type alive, and has made
away with so many men, women, and children of
higher range of humanity, that cannot help i'm
pugning his judgment That is reason he ought to
stay dead, If he is dead ought to consent to die
if he still lives Habitua bad judgment is one of the
worst Of crimes.

usually an active and industrious citi-
zen with money out at interest If the
strident voice Of the knocker had been
listened to with proper reverence. there
wouldn't be four blocks of paved street

ever, goes along with his head up and
his pocketboOk open and invests in ev-
erything that will put his town on the
map in red ink.
The most liberal booster in any town
is usually the newspaper, which makes
enemies by advocating creosOte block
paving, sewer extensions and public
Fairgrounds. This is a source OF pro-
found grief to the delinquent subscrib-
er, who cancels his subscription for
the coming year and greets the col
lector with an icy stare. If the booster

money which they have lost through
advocating new sidewalks and city
halls, more editors would ride in their
own automobiles

Booster Is Plain Citizen With Springs In Legs
Harder To Sidetrack Than Candidate For Office

"HE booster is a plain American
citizen with springs in his legs
and optimism under his hat. It is
harder TO discourage a real, live booster

county office who has the church vote
in his vest pocket.

produced and polished off by he boost

red blooded burgs i'm Uncle Sans do

ants. one Of the surest signs that the
booster spirit has struck in is when
money can be raised for a new inter
urban without holding a special cleo
tion and buryinE the next generation in
debt up to its neck The booster who
is always willing to boost with his
voice, but leaves his checkboOk at home
on the sideb0ard, never built any opera
