Villas proclamation will make a tremendous appeal to
the ignorant MeXicans, and unfortunately most of MeXi-
co.'s millions are ignorant. Many of the reforms he pro-
misses will be popular, and his appeal to the hatred which
Mexicans have for the "~gringoes' will not fail to bring
new recruits flocking to his standards.
Villa, whom Pershing went into Mexico to get" is gain
ing power every day. Time was when if Pershing had
pushed ahead he might have captured Pancho and dispers-
ed his then d~windling band. Villa was wounded, without
ammunition or supplies and was distinctly on the run.
Pershing could and would have fulfilled the object of his
costly expedition into Mexico, but at Parral Carranza
troops blocked his way. Then Carranza issued an order
to his troops that if the Americans moved in any direction
except northward to the border they were to be fired upon
without notice. At Carrizal they were so fired upon and
maSSacred in ambush.
Then there came a pause. Pershing, the able general,
had to wait while President Wilson demanded of Car
rama the revocation of his order-the order which screen
ed Villa and made possible his escape. In spite of the
presidents %peremptory demand Carranza has never re-
voked that order. 1t is in force today, and it is due solely
to that order and to the fact that Pershing received no di-
plomatic backing from Washington that Villa is today
alive and at liberty and recruiting an ever larger force.
Only recently he captured the important city of Chihua-
hua, a feat which brought him countless new recruits and
Melted him invaluable booty. Carranza's generals had to
give up the city because they had insufficient ammunition.
One of the most important questions is where and how
Villa got ammunition enough for such extended military
ventures. Supposedly the embargo is working we'll, and
supposedly with tens of thousands of our regulars and ma
tional guard troops along the border it has been impossible
to smuggle ammunition across to Villa. But he has the
ammunition in plenty, and he controls no places where
powder and shell are manufactured.
What is the source of Villas ammunition supplies? Our
secret service men should know, and if it comes from this
side of the border they should be able to stop it. If it is
being supplied by some other nation that is an unfriendly
act toward the United States, and toward Carranza, and
the secret service men should know who is responsible

TREAD LIGHTLY.

The $50 shoe is no jest, says the Boise Statesman, but
is quite likely to be a costly reality before the hot days of
summer are here. The war, of course, is to blame for this
enormous climb in prices. Here's just exactly how the
tremendous leather scarcity which is sending prices kiting
has come about.
Contributing conditions are world wide. For some
years before the war began, even, the number of cattle in
the world per thousand of the globes population was grad
ually slumping and the demand for leather kept on in
creasing. Even before the war began, the leather require
ments of the United States for home use and for manu-
featured export exceeded the country's domestic hide sup
ply by about 81 per cent.
Then the war burst on an unprepared world, and for
many months shipping schedules were so disarranged that
our usual hide imports did not arrive. By the time hides
began coming in again, home consumption and European
orders for harness, saddles and shoes had eaten up our
entire reserve stock. Imports are now above normal, but
competition in the world hide markets from the allies has
driven the prices to unheard of heights, and besides having
our own domestic demands to fill, our factories still have
immense untitled orders from Europe.
1t is estimated that the soldiers of the warning nations
have served to double the worlds consumption of leather.
A soldier will wear out on an average five pairs Of shoes
In one year, and on an estimate of 100000 men fighting
or training for the last % months, the European armies
have used up about 250, 1000 pairs Of shoes. The leath-
er for these shoes represents the hides Of more than 3d.
100000 cattle, or more than half as many head as there
were in all the United States at the first of this year.

THAT MOANING AT THE BAR.

Brother Cooper's cartoon is not as ingenious as some of
his always clever offerings. 1t follows the facts in the
case so closely that some will say it is a photograph rather
than a cartoon. The artist labels that figure with his back
to the bar and his face to the sunrise michigan" He
might just as well have called it Nebraska or South Dako-
ia or Montana. All four states went dry on November Z.
Then there's Idaho. Idaho has been dry by law since the
first of the year; Idaho has now fortified this good rsolu-
elton by putting prohibition into the state constitution.
1t is a fine thing to be constitutionally dry, and more and
more folks are tending that way. But from the booze
STANDPOINT the discOuraging feature of the late election is
the way cities which voted wet when their states went dry,
at earlier elections, now fall into line and vote to keep the
saloons closed as tight as Noah's Ark before Noah sent
out the dove. Cases in point are Seattle and Denver.
When Washington and Colorado said good-by to the sa-
loon, their principal cities protested by voting the other
way. Now that they have lived under dry conditions,
these city folks want to go on living that way. This is
one answer to the %lugubrious persons who assure US that
the temperance movement is a fluke and a failure WHEREBY

THE EVIL DAY.

One OF the principal criticisms of President Wilson's
policies during the recent campaign was that he had mere
y deferred many pressing and difficult problems and had
not definitely settled them. The evil day of settlement, it
was pointed out, was sure TO come, and then the settle
ment would probably prove unnecessarily difficult and
costly.
The Wilsonian policy of putting off until tomorrow the
Things that should be done today has been followed to a
great extent by the governor of Idaho, especially in mat
tiers requiring the expenditure of state funds.
Two years ago he vetoed appropriation bills right and
transportation bills granting funds to our state in
situations. Now the state board of education puts in esti-
mates showing that 81 $1,000 is needed. The governor in
dlcates that he will again veto many items asked for the
state institutions.
His attitude was made admirably clear to the board last
week, when he said in reference to one of the normal
schools that repairs and additions might well be passed
up Just now. Let the old buildings go" was the tenor of
his advice, land in two or four years from now we can
put up a new building costing about a quarter of a million"
Meanwhile, of course the governor could tell the taxpayers
that he was Saving" them money"
Now comes the state highway department asking an
appropriation OF one million dollars for the next two years.
One very slZeable item out of this total is $4,000, which
the state owes to the counties for road work already done,
and this money must be repaid. During the campaign
The Statesman called attention to the fact that the "sav-
lngs" made by the governor were not all savings and
made specific mention of this $4,000 for which the credit
OF the state had been pledged. The money had been spent
and the state is morally, if not legally, obligated to pay,
so the $4,000 was not Saved" at all, though the governor
made much during the campaign of reduced a%ppropria-
tons for road work.
If this same policy of Saving" is followed for two years
more the bills that the administration will have to meet
will be staggering. For the people of Idaho the day Of
settlement is bound to come, and when it arrives it will
be found to be an evil day ndeed.-Statesman
If you want to be a Spug, devoted to useful giving, how
