Thanks to the good sense and fair
ness of Generals Obregon and Scott
an agreement appears to have been
reached which will solve the diff
culties confronting both Mexico and
the United States in correction with
the penetration Of American troops
into Mexico in pursuit Of villa. II
this agreement should bring about the
ends desired by both governments, il
will bring great credit to the negoti-
ators and expedite the return Of
peace and order throughout Mexico.
The details OF the agreement do not
concern Americans. If the chief OBJ
iect sought for is attained-that is,
the elimination of villa and the with
drawal of the American forces with
out a clash with the people or armed
forces OF Mexico.
The United States could not agree
TO withdraw its forces while Villa and
his bands threatened to repeat the
Columbus raid With this danger re-
moved, the sooner General Pershing
brings his troops back the better. No
doubt he will do so gradually, taking
care to soe that the pursuit of villa
by the Chrranza forces is vigorous
and effective. and also guarding

against any friction with the Carranza
troops. The Carranza government
must do its share by keeping strict
control Of its troops and directing
their movements toward the elimina
tion of the villa bandits.
No doubt General Scott was able
to impress upon General Obregon the
wisdom of a liberal policy toward
American enterprises in Mexico, espe-
cially those which employ large num-
bers OF Mexicans. II work is given
to the Mexicans, the excuse for join
ing bands Of raiders will have been
removed and the widespread suffering
in northern Mexico will be quickly re-
lieved. The Carranza government
should not kill the goose that lays
the golden eggs by imposing excessive
taxes upon American-owned proper
ties or by forcing them to pay again
for concessions. honestly obtain and
developed in good faith under Mexi-
can law The quickest and most eff
fective means Of bringing about
peace is to provide work for those
who are now engaged in banditry.
This work cannot be provided unless
the mines and railroads and factories
are permitted to operate.

~ OvERNOR HIRAM JOHNSON Of California, has
VI written an open letter in which he declares that
he viii remain a Progressive long as that party
lasts-or at any rate until the Republican and Pro-
gressve conventions at Chicago take "joint action
upon common ground" The Governor adds that the
voters who stood with the Progressives in 1912 arc
as willing eager this year they were four years
ago to support "a forward-lookng Republican"
Such a candidate will he the product Of the Repub-
lcan convention Nobody expects any other result

The issues upon which the great division arose in

now one paramount duty this year confronts all
the men who voted against Wilson in 1912; the re-

In this may be found "iont action upon common
ground" hoped for by Governor Johnson. These
hopes he shares with all Republicans and with almost
all Progressivcs Republicans will do nothing to dash

nation can consent to attack another

what the German note requres.

There is no longer any pretenc,
about the German policy. There is NJ
longer even the color or character ol
diplomatic phrase. We have come to the
point where, in our turn, we American
citizens have TO deal with the German
policy of "terribleness," expressed il

the other side, and that is that in school
districts where a large part of the farms
and other real estate are rented the
owner of the real estate thinks he is
paying now his share of school taxes.
1t is the tenants children who are being
educated and unless his live stock is
taxed he would escape his share of the
expenses of educating his children.
These are the contentious. The fact
is, we believe. that few of those who
agitate the matter really understand
or stop to think that the lack OF money
for our country schools is not due to
the basis of taxation. but to lack OF
proper educational sentiment. In Kent
county for instance, each country
school district is required to raise by
taxation but 800. and if that amount
is raised such district receives from
the State about twice that amount as
its share of the school dividend and
appropriation. The tendency to shift
the burdens Of taxation, like other bur-
dens Of government, to the State or
Nation, is here apparent. In most dis
tricts the voters refuse to vote for
raising much If any more than 500
and they rely on the State to furnish
the balance necessary to run a poor
school, with the cheapest possible
school teacher. the shortest possible
time allowed by law.
Heretofore legislatures have not
had the courage to increase the
amount required to be raised. When
some legislature amends the law so
as to require each district to raise by
taxation at least $500 in order to get
the dividend and appropriation from
the State. and requires schools to be
held in each district at least $50 days
instead Of 140. as now. the country
schools will improve. Whether school
taxes are raised on land or personal
property does not reach the evil. II
land only was assessed and that at
its real value, no more than 500
would be raised in many country dis
tricts. 1t is possible that in some
districts where real estate is occupied
by tenants instead OF owners, that
such tenants might be more liberal
in taxing landlords than in taxing
themselves. but that is not likely. II
the people OF school district are as
much interested in their children and
their education as they should be
there is no trouble to get enough
money raised by taxation to provide
suitable schools. The grange and
others interested would do we'll to find
out real conditions and their real
causes and try TO create sentiment

try districts 70 vote at school elections

Forty-eight hours short of the first
anniversary of the Lusitania massacre
the German Government has answer
ed the ultimatum Of the President OF
the United States demanding that
Germany abandon and renounce a
policy Of submarine assassination.
Stripped Of all unessential details,
this reply is a frank and deliberate
declaration that Germany, tempOr-
arily ronouncing the policy of mur-
dering American citizens, holds her
self free to resume this policy unless
the United States shall break down
the British blockade which aims at
starving German subjects.
For a year the United States has
endured the slaughter of its men, its
women and its children From the
capital crime of the Lusitania to the
not less criminal attack upon the
Sussex. Mr.. Wilson has endeavored
by the use Of diplomacy to persuade
the German government to cease a
policy which destroyed American
lives and abolish neutral rights.
At the close OF a year, on an an
niversary which is full OF meaning ia
all American citizens. the German
answer Is before him and before us
There is no longer even a thin di-
guise over German purpose. Plainly
brutally Mr. Wilson and the Ameri-
can people are told that they must
attack Great Britain or endure Ger
man terrorism.

government served the same notice
upon Belgium. "Give us free passag,

the order. Become our servants

terms. The United States cannot
agree to purchase the lives of its citi-

We asked Germany to stop murder

a year we have reiterated our re-
quests. We have endured massacres'
we have suffered killings, we have
patiently and steadily looked forward
TO a settlement dictated by fancied
regard on Germanys part for the
rights Of neutrals. the rights OF a
friendly nation and the rights OF COM
mon humanity.
Germany has now answered by
stating the conditions under which
American citizens can escape German
massacre. These conditions are con-
ditions utterly intolerable; they are
conditions which would deprive us
of our liberty and makes us a German
ally in the world war.
/ Mr.. Wilson can do but one thing
He must break off relations with the
Imperial German Government with
out delay and without hesitation. The
recall OF Gerard, the dispatch OF Bern
storff 10 his own country-these are
the things that we can no longer post
pone. They are the least that can be
done; they may well be but the be-
ginning-bw they must be done.
We have come to the end Of chap
| ter. The anniversary OF the Lusi-
tania massacre should not be per-
mltted to pass without action which
will finally demonstrate to the world
that the United States is not nation
which abandons its dead or pur-
chases the lives of those who remain
