VALUE OF OLD FRIENDS.
follow in 1s1

AS to old friends, they are like old
shoes, an abiding comfort and great
solace. If they have not been tried
in extremity they have been tested by
time and its mutations, and by the
wear of years. There is little more
beautiful in human experience than
long-sustained friendships between
women grown far into the years, for
example, and yet who have main
tanned their communion of dreams
and condolences unbroken and un-
spoiled. There is little more refresh
ing to contemplate than friendships
between middle-aged or old men that
have existed in strength and har-
mony from boyhood days. Other
friendships have these folks of the
passing generation, some OF them
true, some of them tried, but none
of them as richly regarded and high
ly treasured as the old ones. For
necessarily there are many things
that occur in a lifetime which par or
disturb us, which give different
turn to our tastes and disposition
which introduce changing elements
and predictions into the problems
OF the day--and times OF the present
and future can never be the same al
in the long ago. Yet the old friends
remain, possibly not in the same
neighborhood or community, nor In the
same part of the country. But thel
are ever within the boundaries Of oui
spiritual vision and they are en-
shrined in the sanctuary OF the heart
Without them we should be lonesom,
in a crowd, and sometimes should
feel as II we had been abandoned
though surrounded by our own house
hold and loved ones. Old friends
in brief, have a niche all their own

A HARVEST OF WILSON'S sowIN

A HARVEST OF WILSON'S SOWING
Wilson's two years of "watchful
waiting in Mexico have brought Just
what such a policy could be expected
to bring. His wabbling diplomacy,
touching all sides of all questions and
without an effective stand upon any
issue. is now bringing its natural har-
vest,-distrust and pillage and death.
First, the authorities at Washington
alienated Carranza and his follow
ing by flirting with villa, making of
Carranza scapegoat and assisting
the bandit chieftain in his marauding
warfare by the moral support of a
great nation, arriving almost at the
point where Villa was recognized.
Then, turning upon Villa when Car
rama was gaining an advantage at
arms, the latter was recognized
and villa was outlawed, as both he
and Carranza should have been years
before. The consequence is that the
United States of America, greatest
nation upon the face Of the earth,
now has no standing whatever in the
southland, and the gringo is the
hated of all Mexicans. "Watchful
waiting" has brought nothing but
ridicule to this country. villa orders
the slaughter of Americans. Car
rama may not give official approval
to the slaughter, but Villa is doing
just what he would have done had
he dared. But Wilson may be able
to stave trouble off long enough to
wish the Mexican question upon the
republican administration that will
follow in 1917.
