Some Outstanding Facts.

War with Mexico may be precipitated at any
moment now the issue depending upon the ac-
ton of Venustiano Carranza and his advisers.
The erratic course Of these men since they came
to the surface in Mexico few years ago stamps
them as irresponsible as well as incapable Whim
or impulse has so far been their guide, rather than
reason, and to outline policy that depends on
their doing or not doing anything is to continue
guesswork. However greatly our government
may have blundered in its dealings with the Mex
leans does not excuse the ignorance, reckless
ness and mbecility displayed on the Mexican
side. That President Wilson elings to his hope
that the present grave situation may be brought
to satisfactory solution without war is to his
credit, and indicates his patience, which is sup
ported by the national adherence Of war. The
step that will take US across the Rio Grande will
only be made when ali other hope is abandoned.
These are the outstanding facts Appeals
from Europe and from South America that war
be averted do not fall on deaf ears in the United
States, but all the world must realize that the
United States has borne about as much from the
irresponsible banditti Of Mexico, whether mas.
querading as organized armies or riding as mere
marauders, as can be expected Of a self-respect-
ing people. We are willing, nay, we have sac
rifeed much to maintain peace, but we are just
at the end Of our patience now. Slaughtered
soldiers, murdered citizens, ravished women,
burning homes, ravased ranches and devastated
industries Of various kinds do not form a very
eloquent basis for further appeal to forbearance.
If we do not go to war to give Mexico real
government, it will be one Of the miracles Of
history.

Savings and Loan Associations.

Savings and loan associations in Nebraska
rank next to state banks a. promoters Of thrift
and loaning agencies. Their importance In the
field OF finance and home ownership Is known to
all concerned in the upbuilding Of communities
As custodians Of $45O000oo. the savings Of thou-
sands Of Nebraskans, their business activities and
tendencies vitality concern the members and the
public 1t large.
Heretofore the signpost Of safety for associa-
tons pointed solely to loans on local mortgage
security. chiefly homes. Local knowledge Of
values and Of the standing Of the borrower but
tressed the sign and experience justified ii
Nearly all Nebraska associations adhere closely
to the local field. Several associations operate
throughout the state, and few seek business in
adjoining states. The tendency toward larger
fields Of operation is evident from the recent ac-
tion OF the association league in aboiishins what
has been regarded as the dead line Of safety"
This tendency deserves thoughtful consideration
During the early COS associations doing
statewide and nationwide business overran the
Middle West Their energy, enterprise and
promises almost overwhelmed local associations
The big fellows reveled in riches. the little ones
nearly famished for support Yet when the lean
years Of l8o34-s strained the resources OF the
country. practically every one Of the mammoth
associations were swept out Of existence, leaving
trails Of bankruptcy. extravaganza and desola-
ton throughout Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri Nebraska was spared the blight chiefly
because the associations confined their operations
70 the local field and successfully weathered the
stress Of hard times.
Conditions have changed greatly in twenty
years. New and greater resources have been de-
,eloped, values vastly increased and investment
opportunities multiplied But the line Of local
safety is not materially altered. II is as clear
today a. when experience drew it through the
national association wreckase Of former years.
