affidavit of a man named Clark, who
charges that the Adams woman sold
liquor to lobe Henderson. Hen
derson declares that he new
er purchased whiskey from the Adams
woman or from any one in defiance
of law.
The accused asserts that the affi-
davit is a piece of "spite work" be-
cause she refused to longer board

an amount due her. She told Warden
E. H. Verret that if any liquor was
sold it was by the wife of her ac-
cuser, and declares she will prove this
at the hearing Thursday afternoon.

We look with fear and trembling into the local daily sheets for fear under a London headline we will find that there is heavy fog on, or in New York some poor boy has fallen off water wagon and broken his leg or promise, or that the cotton wevil in Indiana has kicked the freckles off all the wheat; or that the hired man in Tahontepeck had eloped with the cook, taking a double handful of buckwheat cakes along with them; or that the blue bottle flies in Kokimo have ruined the glass industry-all on a leased liar wire, but with no mention that Bill Jones has painted his fence, or any other local informa- ton about the town wherein the aforesaid, alleged daily newspaper spells white paper daily.

Walter Runke, who is out on bail and the three other men who have been indicted and are still laying in jail at Prescott for the kill ing of Taddy Tin, the renegade In- dian, who resisted arrest and was shot while attempting to shoot the officers. A special agent has been quietly Investigating the case for the past month and only a few days ago left the reservation. The character of his report is not known, but it is certainly hoped that he reached the bottom of the case.

To one who thinks of the present situation, there can be no doubt of where a large share of our national troubles originated, Mexico knew of Germany's position on the submarine question some days before the United States was informed of it. If trouble should be fomented between Japan and America, it will come through the Mexican situation. That the stamping ground of trouble and war is located in Mexico seems to be a certainty. While we do not believe in war and hope that it will not come, we'll be durned if we believe in letting kids play in haymow with matches.

you notice the big egg 1 sent you ?" At this horrid and most unexpected interrogation, the poor local quickly turned in the direction of the voice to learn its owner, when another voice cried "Where's the piece you were going to write about my soda fountain? 2" and close upon this was the awful demand, "Why did you write piece about old Pebbles fence and never mention my new gate ?" What ever answer he was going to form to this appeal was cut abruptly short by this astonishing querry: "What did you spell my name wrong in the program for?" The miserable man turned to flee, when he was rooted to the spot by this terrible de- mand: "Why did you put my mar riage among the deaths? ?" He was on the point of saying the foreman did it, when shrill voice madly cried, What made you put in the account of my runaway and spoil the sale of my horse?" Another voice interrupted with: "He hinted that was engaged and I had to explain to all my young lady friends" And this was followed by the voice of a female historically proclaiming "This is the brute that botched my poetry, and made it redi- culous!" Whereupon hundreds of voices screamed, "Where is my arti- cle?" "Give me back my article" l" And in the midst of the horrid din, the poor wretch awoke perspiring at every pore, and screaming for help. The next day he resigned and we had to hunt up another local editor Printers Wit and Humor.

About the only salvation over exist

About the only salvation over exist ing conditions at the local postoffice that the business man can see is a free city delivery. You can't lay the blame to the local office force, but to Uncle Sam himself. A business man knows that you can't bore a hole in boiler plate with rotten banana, but you have to let Uncle Sam try it for several years before he is actually convinced of the fact; besides he needs the money to pay for extra privileges for people in larger places who can't pay their own expenses.

Rep. Lincoln Dixon, (Dem.) of In diana:-"We have given the farmer free agricultural implements-plows, tooth and disk harrows, harvesters, reapers, threshing machines, wagons
 binding twine, cream separators, barbed wire, and fencing
 Nearly everything the farmer pro- duces was put on the free list. Im- ports of farm products during the first ten months uninterrupted action of the democratic tariff law were nearly 2h times greater than for the corresponding period under republi- can law the year previously. And the price of farm implements increased. The farmer was brass-knuckled from the front, and stabbed from the rear.

LARGE, WIDE YELLOW STREAK

The editorial whine of the Albu- querque Journal of April 24th, con corning the situation in Mexico, is about the most yellow stunt we have heard of a supposed American yet pulling off. Think of it Attempting to excuse the supposedly great Ame- rican government for removing troops from Mexico on the grounds that they have typhoid fever down there; that it would take at least 5OO,00O troops to handle the situ- ation; that the national guard are in- sufficient to patrol the border.
 Endeavoring to speak politely as we can to this fellow who seems to have gathered up 200% streak of yellow, we desire to admit that there are over one hundred million people in the United States; it is the richest nation on earth; we have tackled problems even worse; we agree that we are unprepared, but it does not follow that we can not prepare for any condition of affairs that require the honor of the nation to be upheld.
 The editorial tacidly admits that the people of the United States are worthless, too busy, cowardly and niggerdly to go ahead even when they know they are right.
 A fellow may be a democrat or a republican, but if his head and heart are right, he is an American citizen, of the United States first and will back any old administration against the world, including typhoid, shot, shell and hell.
 This is not an argument as to whether or not troops should be with drawn from Mexico, but a pure, un- dulterated batch of disgust at the excuses offered.

Just to ease the minds of those who are in doubt, we desire to advise that "the death of Villa" the withdrawal of troops from Mexico, reported one day and denied the next, is merely the advance guard of the actual re- moval of troops from Mexico. The desire was to gradually get the people used to the idea before the order was given for the boys to come home, be- cause Caranza frowned upon our ef- forts.

THE DREAM OF THE LOCAL
 EDITOR

Once upon a time local editor dreamed that he was dead, and in heaven-no, in another world. He approached the gate of city before him and knocked for admitance, but no one would answer his summons. The gate remained closed against him. Then he cried aloud for en- trance, but the only response was a score of heads set up a dismal howl
 and one of them said "Why didn't
