st. Valentines Day Is Coming

1t seems long, long time ago Wtce
we sent out valentines. Those were
pleasant missiycs. refer not to the
caricatures, by which the romance
of the day was much impaired. but to
the racy, heart-and-arrow, poetic kind
some of which cost as much as ten
cents,' says Edwin Sabin, in Lippin-
colts.
The feverish distribution OF these
did no harm; on the contrary, it must
have worked good. The sentiments
expressed were at least read, even if
not always believed, sometimes not
understood Few Of us but can recall
excerpts, which we repeat with a GER
tain wistful zest that decries age.
We appreciate them now more than
we did then.
Why not really revive st. Valen-
tines day? We need 1t. We need
i44+7a-4 Il RACIAL hat Is chaan-
not cheap sentiment We need this
authority to pause in our hurly-burly
our pursuit of the tangible and the
material, and to give ourselves over
to one general Indulgence in the ro-
nance and chivalry.
All the world loves a lover The fact
can never die. And although st. Val
antinc's day is but masque and
nummery, where in we play at q court
of love, it's twelve hours of pretty
presence distill dew upon the most
sordid heart
We in America have few gentle oh.
servances; we do much for practical
gain and much out of patriotism; but
we devote ourselves as a people
little to the purely fanciful and eth
ical. We have lost May day, grace
full custom doomed, perhaps, by nat
ural progress. However, may we not
have back upon our national calendar
good St Valentines day, in all in
n0cence of eternal vows to sweeten
the workaday heart? Though it comes
as a fad, let it come.

Of the fact that Air Bainey is a

Are We al The Breaking Point?

Are We really at the breaking point
with Germany?
( The channels Of diplomacy are most
misleading and they have very hap
py faculty Of changing from cloudiness
to sunshine and back again with ali
or The olaS'ity of our brunswick
weather. Unless We read the signs
wrongly. the danger Of a real break
with Germany is nearer at hand on
this beautiful Sabbath morning than
has been The case since the German
submarine sent to watery graves some
1872 American citizens on board the
Lusitania. For many months Wash
ingJon and Berlin have been having
conversations touching this unhappy
incident; one day tie whole situa-
ton had clarified and Germany had
agreed to all OF the American de-
mapds on the subject; the next a cog
had slipped i'll the machinery of the
diplomatic game and the entire mat
ter was up in the air again. Thus
the question has been buffeted be
tween the uDpcr and the neither stone
if diplomacy for all Of these months.
The one attitude Of the American gov
eminent. and has been, that Germany
was not within her legal rights when
she sank the Lusitania, with her
American passengers; chat she must
disavow the act and pay indemnity
Germany has responded that she was
willing to pay the indemnity, express
her regrets for the incident, but in
sists that the question of legal rights
in the case be submitted to The Hague
for arbitration. The German foreign
office taxes the position that, to adj
nit that the act Of sinking the Lusi-
tania was illegal. in. the broad sense
Of international law. would be to con
TESS that her whole system of under
seas warfare has been illegal. With
his view in mind the last note from
Germany came to the state depart
mont on Friday and firmly refuses to
115TvJw tire act. or IN 4ia1A-f7 10
uses to admit that ii was Illegal. Ac
;0rding to Secretary Lansing, quoted
generally in newspapers yesterday
morning, the situation is tense and the
American attitude cannot be compro-
missed One thing is very certain and
hat is that either Germany or the
Jnitd States must change its position
" we are really and truly at the part
ng of the ways. Just what course
his would call for is not known, but
here are but few courses to be pur-
sued. First, there might be a declara
ion Of war, which is improbable, and
and most probably the route
Washington would take, would be a
severance of diplomats relations with
Germany. There is just one thing to
,e considered that might obviate eth
" of these steps and that is that Col.
House, who is now on his way back
o the United States, might have
message TO bring to the president that
would cahnge the face of the situa-
ion. In any event, the situation seems

town about two weeks ago and saw
Tanlac advertised. I obtained a bot
tie and began taking the medicine.
This preparation has proven a won-

strength and energy. | sleep soundly

here from Stanton, ILL.,, Mexico was a
prospecting city of over five thousand
in population, and Stanton had only
eighteen hundred. She has no county
court house, and now it is about thir-
teen thousand population, and thirty
two saloons. And Mexico had little
over half of the above population of
Stanton. Since Mexico went "dry,"
there is not a single yard Of street

When you can catch some poor fell
low selling. fine him $500 and cost,
which is right by the law. But at the
same time we have a law that Mexico
is violating every day in the year.
by discarding the sewage in this pri-
vate stream. Mexico has violated the
State Health Law for at least fifteen
years, because she Is discarding the
sewage into this water, killing and
driving all the fish out of this
water. Mexico has no right TO drain
the sewage into this water, because
this is private water, and the farmers
living along the stream, pay tax for it
every year. Formerly the farmers
could fill their cisterns with this wat
err, but now the water is not fit for
stock to use, and formerly you could
find hundreds Of people sitting along
the creek fishing and catching thous-
and of fish. But now there is no fish.
And what is left is unhealthy and not
fit to eat. And this so called Chris
tian City of Mexico violated the use
of our W property for the past fif-
teen years, and all the people on both
sides of Salt River between Mexico
and Santa Fe are hoping that prac-
tice viii soon be abused. You have
