MEXICO Is COMING BACK.
Saved From Conquest, 1t 10 Working
Out Its Own Destiny.

Encouraging news continues to
come from Mexico, and the TRADES
of President Wilson's critics grow
tanner all the while. Mexico has seen
much misfortune, has borne many
trials, has experienced many tragedies,
but there is a buoyancy to the present
situation that gives cheer to friends
Of that lOng-suffering republic.
Americans, coming from that coun-
try, bring optimistic assurances. They
declare that there is much better gov
eminent there than for many years,
that Carranza money is increasing in
value, that business is picking up and
that law is being respected.
The New York Evening Sun, Re-
publican newspaper, which usually
criticises everything President Will
son does, is compelled to recognize the
facts, telegraphed from San Antonio,
Texas, by William G.. Shepherd, war
correspondent Of the United Press,
who has been one Of the keenest OBJ
servers of conditions both in Europe
and Mexico. Mr.. Shepherd, back from
long service abroad, was sent re-
Gently to the Mexican border. After
careful survey he reported conclu-
sions which the Sun displays under
the heading: "Mexico Coming Back;
Business Grows Brisk-Confidence in
Carranza Increases and Things Look
Up" In part Mr.. Shepherd says:
Mexico is coming back. It's not
a dead rubber nation; it's got
bounce in it. A summary Of the
news from the heart of Mexico,
gathered in the last three weeks
along the border from Americans
incoming from Mexico, shows be-
yond doubt that conditions are
improving, confidence in Carranza
is growing, the situation is gain
ing buoyancy, Carranza money is
gaining in value and business is
picking up.

IDAHO HISTORY IN STORY FORM

The state department of education
has issued a statement that should
interest those who are interested in
writing short stories, especially
childrens stories. There has been
a movement in the schools to teach
some Idaho history to the pupils,
most of whom are going to spend
their lives in the state. Besides it
is believed that the best way to give
young minds a good idea of history
Of the nation and world Is to begin
rioht at home among the things they
already know about. Some educators
are teaching geography by making
their pupils learn all about their own
county and even draw maps of it.
The department will welcome all
stories written for the children of
the primary and grammar grades,
on subjects taken from state history,
or the story of the great northwest.
Address the State Department Of
Education, Boise, Idaho.

SCHEME TO LET GUARDS VOEh

M. ]. Sweeley, Republican canai-
date for attorney general, IS urgins
the governor to call special session
of the state legislature for the pur-
pose of passing law whereby the
militia boys at the Mexican border
will be allowed to vote In the NO
Nember election. It Is feared tne
governor will be unwilling to do tnis'
because it is alleged that the soldier
citizens are not at all strong TOR MS
reelection.
In his letter Mr.. Sweeley calls AZ
tention to the fact that during the
civil war a number of the northern
states had such laws in force, 80
that the volunteers could vote TOT
president and state officers In their
states. In some instances they. cast
their ballots, instead of bullets, on
the very field of battle.
Another reason for the session
would. be caring for certain phases
of Carey act projects, especially the
Kuhn projects, none Of which are IN
a satisfactory condition. Contro-
versies have arisen that can best pc
settled by the legislature.

WILSON A PROGRESSIVE
BEFORE PARTY WAS BORN

Eighteen months before the
birth of the Progressive Party,
Woodrow Wilson, then Cover
nor of New Jersey, gave this
definition Of a Progressive and
so classified himself In an ad-
dress before the Kansas Society
o. New York, January %, 1911:
"6y Radical ! understand
one who goes too far, by
Conservative one who does
not 90 far enough; by RE-
dictionary one who WON'T
90 at all. suppose l'must
be q Progressive, which !
take to be one who insists
on recognizing new facts,
adjusting policies to facts
and circumstances as they
arise"
Under Democratic influences
during the six-year period since
standpatism was overthrown in
the House of Representatives In
1910, ninety per cent Of the pro-
gram Of reform advocated by
the Progressive Party has been
enacted into law. Invisible
government" which is now max
ing desperate efforts to "come
back" has been driven from
power under President Wilson's
administration and will have no
place in Washington so long as
he Is in the White House.

Alkali in Soap
Bad For The Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, II
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alleai. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use 10 just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily
removing every particle of dust, dirt
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.

MODERN RARBoRS.

The river is the subject or much
discussion at the present time. There
are those who believe or, pretend to
believe that the grand old Mississippi
is to become the greatest trade route
in all the world, and there are others
who are holding forth against any
and all improvement of the rivers Of
this country
It has become apparent to many
lookers-on, that the latter are going
to carry the day, SO far as national
appropriations are concerned, unless
they can be shown that the cities on
the Mississippi and the. Missouri are
in earnest in their demand for river
Improvement. And that is being done,
says the Burlington Hawk-Eye. The
levees and the whole system of hand
ling river freight are woefully behind
the time. There is much unreason-
ing complaint against the railroads.
They were out after business and
they took business away from the
river, where it could be carried so
cheaply that the railroads could not
possibly compete. The river men and
trade highway and the towns are
wrong in blaming the railroads. In
very truth they have but themselves
to blame And they are beginning to
realize that fact. Large sums have
been appropriated in a number of
cities for the purpose of making mod
ern harb6r improvements, which will
make possible the economical hand
ling of all kinds of freight and the
trans-s shipment Of freight direct from
the river to the railroad And with
modern appliances and conveniences
and modern freight boats, and much
and ever more freight being offered,
the congress will be quick to note
what is being done on the river and
the railroads will profit by the change.
There is today in normal times, more
freight than the railroads can handle,
and while the railroad goes practical
ly everywhere, the river ever clings
to its course, and will need the rail-
roads just as the roads of the valley
will ultimately need the river to help
them do the great work of making the
Mississippi valley the richest and
most populous district of the world,
and the greatest freight producing
district the world has ever sen.
The city that is not taking up this
matter of modern harbors and modern
facilities for handling river freight, is
not keeping step with the progress Of
the great valley.
