What of America7

'From Prof MicheTs Political Parties.")
The democratic currents of his
tory resemble successive waves.
,nnihey break ever on the same shoal.
ihey are ever renewed. This en-
during spectacle is simultaneously
encouraging and depressing. When
democracies have gained a certain
stage of development, they under
go a gradual transformation, adopt
ing the aristocratic spirit, and in
many cases also the aristocratic
forms, against which at the outset
they struggled so fiercely. Now
new accusers arise to denouncc the
traitors; after an era of glorious
combats and of inglorious power,
they. end by fusing with the old
dominant class; whereupon once
more they are in their turn attack
ed by fresh opponents who appeal
to the name of democracy. 1t is
probable that this cruel game will
continue without end.

gate.
It is his duty to present his town
to the passing stranger, the casual
visitor, the abiding guest, in its best
clothes, it's clean-washed, shining
schoolday face, and its Sunday morn
ing behavior.
This does not imply that he should
lie about his town, ascribing to it only
absolute perfection and faultless at
fractions. But he should display its
beauties, its graces and its excellences
with an honest heart and clear con-
science, even as young mother BASH
fully holds up to the admiring world
the amazing precocity Of her first
baby, eleven weeks old.
Remember what the town was when
you came to live in it, then look upor
what it is now, and paint the picture
with glowing colors and bold brush
on expansive canvas. And if you as
cribe much of the cause Of its growth
and development to the fact that yO'

Carranza to get a Real Firm Note on
Outrage

Washington, March 9.-The Mex
lean question broke out in congress to-
da. Senator Fall Of New Mexico an
nounced that he had prepared a res
olution to authorize recruiting an ar
my of 100000 to intervene in Mexico
and aid the existing authorities in
stamping out brigandage, while in the
house, Representative Mondell, repub-
lican, of Wyoming, started debate with
a speech attacking the administra-
tion's Mexican policy.
Late today the United States sent
a formal notification of the Columbus
massacre to General Carranza through
American Consul Silliman.
A dispatch from General Pershing
forwarded to the war department late
today, through General Funston, was
to the effect that the Mexican raiders
were commanded by General Villa
personally.

A MANS DEBT TO HIS TOWN

A man owes a great deal more to
the town he lives in than he does to
the town he was born in.
When the town he lives in has ac-
cepted the man, sometimes at his own
valuation, which is largely above par,
and sometimes very quietly, merely
giving him the chance to show what
manner of man he is, and crowning
him with rewards when he has made
"good," it is his manly duty to re-
ciprocate by accepting his chosen town
on the same terms.
He should at least make a treaty
with her, containing the "most favor
ed nation clause" and loyalty and
enthusiastically live up to it. \ 1t is
in his power to picture his town as
an Eden, with bowers Of roses and
groves of luscious and lifesustaining
fruit, or, while not denying the roses
and the orchards, he can so arrange

VAR WITH
MEXICO SOON?
Everything Now Goes to Indicate that
We are to be Plunged Into
War with Mexico

The papers have been full of war
news for the past fe wdays and at
this time it is a little hard to tell
Just "where we are at" Scary head
lines have appeared in the papers that
would indicate that our troops are
pursuing Villa into his haunts in Mex
leo, but from the fact that we have
not heard anything about him hav-
ing been captured yet, we want to
risk the assertion here that Gen. Fun
ston has never turned a bunch of our
boys loose across the Mexican border
as yet or they would have come back
with the goods. 1t is now more than
week since Villa started south, and
with the faint prospect of American
pursuit, it would be our opinion that
if he is being looked for close to the
border he will not be found, and that
when he is found in the interior, locat-
led by the U. S. soldiery, he will be
under the protection of his own and
Carranza troops. Oh! NO. We are
not in conjunction with Mr.. Carranza
just yet for united campaign to
capture Villa. When once our troops
have crossed the border it is our i'm
preston that we will then be in war
with Mexico. The probabilities are
that there is nothing that could now
avoid this and if the Mexican people
are to be brought together, they will
be brought together with the feeling
that they are protecting their country
: against a foreign foe, and this seems
to US to be about the fy5t real op-
portunity that they have had.

Funston in Charge of General 0p
eratiOns in Three Columns

Ell Paso, Tex, Mar. 11.-Pursuit
and capture of Villa is the sole pur-
pose of the punitive expedition into
Mexico, declared General John j.
Pershing, commandant at Ft. Bliss
and one of the leaders of the exped-
ition in a statement today.
The, statement, which will tend to
quiet an excitement on the part of
te Mexican people in this section is
as follows.
ut should be deeply impressed upon
everybody that the only purpose Of
the entry of American troops into
Mexico at this time, is the pursuit
and capture of Villa and his band Of
brigands.
at is a most friendly act of assist
ance on our part. This should be full!

CATHOLICS TO BUILD

A deal is we'll under headway which
if consummated will result in the add
ing of another building and enter
prise for the city Of Clayton. The
Catholic folks are considering the mat
ter of the purchase of block Of
ground on which to build school
building to be in charge of the Sisters,
the building itself to cost from $2500
to $3500. This is one Of the i'm
provements for tho city that has been
under consideration in a small way
for some little time but it looks now
as though it is to terminate into real
ity, and we are to have this another
added enterprise. At the present time
the sisters are conducting a school
in the church building, which lacks
many conveniences for use as a school
building, and they are no doubt handi-
capped in the work to no little extent
The Catholic people are quite strong
here and have many influential mem
bers throughout the county and who
no doubt will use both their in1u
ence and money to bring about {
completion of the plans.

near future in Clayton promise to b,

Carranza Wants to Invade America

Washington, Mar. 11.-Carranza to-
day replied to the American govern
ment's announcement that American
soldiers will enter Mexico to pursue
the Villa bandits, with a request that
Carranza soldiers be allowed the priv
ilege of crossing into American terri
tory in pursuit of lawless bands.
Secretary of State Lansing said he
had not made up his mind regarding
the request.
Carranza suggested his willingness
that American troops should cross into
Mexico in case that raid like that
at Columbus was unfortunately re-
peated at any other point on the Dor.
