A general and beautiful rain fell
Tuesday night with several showers
Wednesday, the governments guage
registering about an inch and a half
for the tw~enty-four hours. The rain
came down slow and gentle and put a
season in the ground that was badly
needed by field crops and gardens. The
only thing that mars what would be
perfect weather is that the wind is
still in the north and is cooler than the
farmers like.

~EXASPERATING Pudding.

The government of the United
States, and the people as well, are
rapidly losing their patience over the
exasperating bidding of Venustiano
Carranza, who styles himself the first
chief of the Mexican de facto govern
ment.
This man Carranza reminds one of
the insignificant and bombastic fist
that banks at a big dog and then
backs away when there is a chance
for a fight.
He has insulted and defied the Uni
ted States on innumerable occasions,
and yet when we show a disposition
to resent his insolence, he bobs up
with a suggestion of compromise or
mediation.
In plain and unvarnished language,
we have had just about enough of
C~arranza and of Mexico, and it is
about time for the big dog to sail in
and give the bidding snapper and his
horde of ragamufins and cut-throats
a sound %drubbing.
Nothing else will be of the slightest
avail.

THAT EDITORIAL DREAM.

1t was in the small and silent hours
of the night, when all our people were
peacefully reposing in the slumber of
innocence.
The god of dreams lowered over
the editorial couch and spoke in soft
and glowing tones of a vacation in
the sweet summer times, with a brain
relaxed from the tiresome labors of
mental toll, and the green slopes of a
gently flowing stream Astounding with
the fnny tribe.
And the god whispered into the edi-
torial ear and this is what it said:
"There are many good people who
owe sundry sums on subscription.
These people are honest and they
mean to pay, but their minds are en-
crossed in weightier affairs, to the ex-
~clusion of the editor and his needs.
But l, the God of Dreams, will Law the
hand of wisdom and remembrance up
on these good people, to the end that
they will all give of their abundant
store the little that is justly due. And
when each good citizen has handed in
the mite that is due, I, the God of
Dreams, do decree that when the sun
ny days are come again the editor
shall leave this toll for a week of rest
in some far away spot, where mind
and heart may regain the strength
and courage for better and greater
things in the days to come. And the
God of Dreams will bestow his benign
approval upon all delinquent subscrib-
ers who hearken unto this his sage
and earnest advice"
If ever a dream m true, the edi-
tor prays that this may be the one.
And he has faith that it will be even
so.

FAILING IN THE TEST.

The railroads of the country have
been put to the test in the handling
of troops and have failed, and we
have learned yet another lesson in
the school of unpreparedness.
Regiments of soldiers who were
scheduled by the roads to start at a
certain hour have been delayed for
days through lack of cars and in a
number of instances the troops have
lain on the ground at the stations all
night long waiting for the ar to
take them to the border.
The excuse of the roads is a short
age of cars, but if that be the case,
what would we do if we were sudden
ly required to transport a great army
instead of a few thousand men?
The citizens depend upon the army
to protect them in their rights of per-
son and property, and the army de-
ponds upon the railroads to get it to
the front.
When the roads fall down on an in
significant movement, what are we to
expect when an emergency arises?
The question demands an answer.
