The report that Villa is dead is one of the amusing things of the present Mexican campaign. It can be con- sidered in several ways. Washington may have originated it for the purpose of taking the troops out of Mexico without putting U. S. on the map as lot of four-fushers in toto-easing off on the people of the U. s. in their desire to placate Caranza. On the other hand it may be report cir culated by Mexicans for the purpose of helping Villa out of the way of the U. S. It also may be scheme on the part of Caranza to eventually produce splendid fac-simile of a Villa corpse to induce U. s. to take our troops out of Mexico. Gen. Per shing undoubtedly has a better and clearer view of the matter than has been expressed in the aforesaid re- ports.

MEXICO AND AMERICA

Caranza has been fussing around for about four years to find out whether he was factor or defacto; he eventually found it out when Pre- sident Wilson told him he was Cit" Now he says the "gringoes" one month hunt for Villa is failure and wants the U. S. troops withdrawn. Evidently his forces have done all they could to help Villa and are thoroughly afraid of him, but prefer death from Villa rather than decent government. The utter rottenness of the whole proposition can only con- vince the thinking people that a thorough cleaning" is what Mexico needs. It is clearly apparent that none of them want decent govern ment, they want trouble, bandits, re- volutions, murder and outlawry until the whole rottenness falls of it's own weight. Then the United States can go down there, feed the starving, get them on their feet sufficiently for another revolution. Brains seem to them only something to scatter on the ground; they utterly refuse to help themselves when the opportunity of fers.
 It has been Americas misfortune to be the paternal guardian of the "kid" governments and in our efforts have spent money and lives merely to gain the everlasting enmity of those we paid the price for. We were honest and right about it, but it would seem there was something wrong with our methods. The United States is a wonderful nation, filled with wonder ful people--but disorganized,

The Milwaukee, Wis. Journal is boasting that the beet sugar industry has not been ruined by the Democratic tariff law. There are just two reasons why it has not: first, the war gave us protection and larger market, and, second, the final repeal of the sugar duty was not to become effective until May, so that, as matter of fact, the sugar industry still has large meas ure of the protection given it by Re- publicans. And the Democrats will continue that protection.

It is a mighty poor American who does not admire our little heroic army but what the duce would the United States do if the Dutch broke out in the north side in Chicago? Even Bat House Johns ward could be taken by the Cannucks from Blue Island Ave nue, before Gen. Big Bill could get his "rough-necks fin from the stock yards. From Chicago to Mexico there seems to be a general desire to be unprepared for fear that it might re- suit in success.

Millions of head of meat animals have been lost to the meat producing industry in Europe on account of the increased consumption of meat and the wasteful methods of killing. It will take years of careful breeding to restore the destroyed herds. For this reason we shall have for many years relative scarcity of meat products and a correspondingly increased market value. Thus will American farmers profit for several years to come as result of the war in Europe.

PORK PIE

The ability of the Democrats to re- solve the demand for preparedness in to an excuse for Congressional pork" is matter of wonders to anyone ac- quainted with their general incompe- tency. If all the Democratic bills which have been introduced in this Congress, providing for munitions plants to be located in various Demo- cratic Congressional Districts were acted upon favorably, there wouldn't be enough money left in the Federal treasury to pay for hauling the muni- tions away from the factories. When opportunity knocks at Democratic headquarters it is sandbagged and frisked to the skin.

o. WHAT FUN WHEN THE WAR
 STARTS

The indictment of Ned Creighton by federal grand jury in Phoenix last week for sending to newspapers reading matter and requesting the newspapers to print same without the advertising mark, presents pe- culiar situation.
 Aside from the fact that politics is involved in the mixup, insomuch that John Dunbar of Dunbar's Weekly and some person connected with the gov ernor's office, are accused of having started the action, is the question of liability of the newspapers involved.
 The law says that editorial or other reading matter" for which money is accepted, must be plainly marked advertising. The point now is as to what constitutes reading matter" Practically every newspa- per in Arizona is a violator of the law. Even the astute Dunbar, the staid Prescott Courier and the modest Republican are violators of the strict interpretation of the law.
 We particularize because the pa- pers mentioned have stigmatized the action of their fellow newspapermen as a crime. Dunbar runs column after column of reading matter without labelling it; Col. Rogers of Prescott runs patent medicine readers, ditto; The Republican did the same thing in printing Corpstein's letter without a label
 If it is meet and proper that one man should be prosecuted because an other man or set of men object to the kind of stuff he asks the news papers to print, then why should not the state, county or federal officers all of whom give out much advertis- ing which is printed without labal, be prosecuted? Tn other words why should such a queer law as the one mentioned be haled into court to fit one kind of distasteful publicity, when the same law is permitted to backslide for another kind of publi- city?
 We are not making any brief for Creighton, but we do object to some of this "Holier than Thou" attitude that few of the Arizona papers are taking in the matter, when everyone of them is just as guilty as the other. Dunbar may heap column after col

Both the Monroe doctrine and the mail order doctrine seem to have the same defects. The South American governments want US to protect them from foreign aggression with the privilege of turning America down and generously hating us for our honest help. In other words, speaking locally, also privately, be very care ful how you boost a supposed friend. This is not only Imaginable but geo metrically correct.

"The quick break to cover, by Sena- tor John w. Kern of Indiana, fur nished one of the amusing incidents of the debate on the Gore resolution in the Senate, after it had been tabled" said Republican Representative. Senator Kern, who is a candidate for reelection this fall, took no chances. He voted, or he supposed he was doing so, to stand by the President, and then later in the afternoon, came out in a speech, stating that he was in favor of warning Americans off belligerent ships, just what the President did not want done. This is another fine exam pie of Democratic consistency"
