BUT DON'T WORRY

The monthly statement of the State
Auditor, dated April 80, shows that
there is over six million dollars in the
State Treasury, but only $278, 540.85
belongs to the revenue fund. Over a
million dollars is tied up in the State
interest fund and cannot be used for
any other purpose-it is dead CAPT
tai; S136,381.99 is tied up in the
"escheats" fund, and not more than
$4,000 of this money is ever used
in the course of a year, says the
Auditor, so the balance of $4,000
lies there useless. If these funds
could be diverted to the revenue fund
there would be no embarrassment of
any kind; but it can't-the Constitu-
ton prohibits such diversion. Neither
the Legislature nor the State Audi
tor can release this money so that it
may be of practical use-the hide
bound provisions of the Constitution
will not permit it to be touched, how
ever large the funds may grow.
1t is like a thirsty man being in
sight of sparkling spring of water
that he cannot reach to relieve his
thirst. The Constitution certainly
needs amending in this as we'll as in
a good many other respects. This
money must lie there doing nobody
any good until some provision is
made for putting it into funds that
need it. What a situation for a State
Six millions in its Treasury and the
revenue fund taxed to it's utmost linn
it year after year to meet the requi-
sitions made upon it. But notwith-
standing, Auditor Gordon says that
every salary and requisition for the
support of the State University and
other State institutions would be paid
before the close Of the year.
Let the heather rage and imagine
vain things, Missouri is all right, and
all this Republican yodle of bank
ruptcy is but vain campaign yell
that is sure to cease after the No
vember election. They are hard
pressed-bear with them awhile.

THE BONDING PROPOSITION

By reference to our Farm Agent S
department on the seventh page, con-
Quoted by County Farm Agent Bert
L. France, the readers of The Times
will find some paying reasons for
good roads, which also serve as ex-
cellent arguments for bonding the
county to push the good roads work
along. Mr.. France favors the bond
ing proposition and says the people
out in the country are in favorable
frame of mind to vote for it. He be-
lives it would carry with little eff
fort, but thinks our suggestion of
$250,000 is too small He would ia
vor 100000 proposition.
That, however, is a matter for the
people of the county to determine.
Why don't our business men and farm
ers get together and call a meeting to
discuss that point, agree upon the
amount to be voted on, and go to work
getting up petitions for an election
to be presented to the County Court :?
There is no good reason for delaying
the matter. Let's all get a move on
u.s."

TALK TO ALIENS

United States District Judge d. P.

last Friday, delivered an america

citizenship, says THE Globe-Democrat.
The majority of applicants were Ger
mans and Austrfans.
AS the first man started toward the
clerks Office to take his oath of allie
glance, Judge Dyer called to him in
a tone audible to all:
"When you have taken the oath,
take a copy home and read it every
Sunday as your morning prayer"
The applicants, each of whom had to
bring two witnesses, filled the court
room and overfowed into the corri-
dor. After Judge Dyer had taken his
seat, he look over the assemblage and
said:
"There seems to be a pretty fair
crowd here seeking admission to citi-
zenship.

MEXICAN SITUATION BAD

The situation on the Mexican Dor
der is anything but favorable and as
surfing. For the past two weeks
Gems, Scott and Funston, on the part
of the United States, and Gen. Obre-
gon, Carranza's Minister of War, on
the part of the Mexican de facto gov
eminent, have been holding confer
ences at Ell Paso and Juarez irving
to come to some amicable agreement
over the presence of American troops
in Mexican territory. Oregon at
first made demand or request that
the United States troops under Cen
eral Pershing be withdrawn at once.
alleging that the purpose for which
the expedition invaded Mexico had
been practically accomplished in the
dispensing of Villas bandits. He was
given to understand that they could
not discuss that question with him.
Some progress was made toward the
two governments working in harmony
in protecting the border, but 10 final
agreement was or has vet been
reached.
While these conferences were be-
ing conducted, another raid of about
200 bandits was made last Friday
night on Glenn Springs, Texas, down
in what is known as 1.-THE Bend.
where small garrison of only nine
soldiers were stationed on patrol du-
ty. They were surprised and sur
rounded, three of the soldiers were
kllled,the other six were badly wound
ed but managed in some way to make
their escape, and a nine-year old bow
was killed. This has aroused the
people along the border and the gov
eminent more even than the Villa raid
on Columbus, resulting in the ordering
OF more troops, practically all the
available force of the army. to the
Mexican frontier, and the calling out
by the President through the Gov
ernors of the State National Guards

posite, separated only by the Dio
Grande. 0bregon's latest proposal,
it is reported, is a plan for the pa
troll of the frontier by troops of both
governments (U. S. and Carranzis-
tas), each to patrol with an equal
force on their respective sides, and
cooperate with each other in run
ming down and breaking up the out
law bands who have been committing
depredations lately. Nothing is set
tied yet, however, and Gen. Pershing
and the troops under his command
will remain in Mexico. They are said
to be fully equipped to defend them
selves if attacked from any source
either by Villistas or dissatisfied Car
ranzistas.
So the situation is anything but
satisfactory or reassuring, and some
thing may happen any day to start
"the dogs of war" to snarling and
preeipitate war. But it is still hoped
that the worst may be averted. The
people of the border are with good
reason intensely aroused and would
hail with satisfaction a declaration Of
armed intervention by the United
States. Gov. Ferguson of Texas on
the 9th issued a signed statement in
which he declares that now is the pro-
per time for the United States to in
tervene in Mexico to restore order in
that country "if it takes ten years, or
fifty years. Since we have started"
says the Governor, 1--WE may as well
finish the job. A temporary protec-
ton of the border will accomplish no.
thing. If we catch and punish one
bandit horde another takes its place
tomorrow. If ruler is put in pow
err today he is betrayed to-morroy.
Loyalty to any leader is lacking and
patriotism is not known. The ruth
less splitting of American blood now
gives us justification and it is our
duty to do whatever is necessary to
permanently prevent a recurrence of
further outrages against our people.
So it may be presumed that unless
Carranza's de facto government agrees
to accept the good offices of the
United States to help it rid Mexico,
at least the Northern section, of ma
rauding bandits, our government may
be forced to take matters into its own
hands.

over the Senate amendments pro-
viding for a standing army of $780,
900 men and a volunteer army Of

nitrate plant. The conference adj
journed for the House conferees to re-

on the It'll that body declined to agree
to the Senate amendment by a de-
cisive vote, the 100000 standing army
