IF WAS IS TO BE. NOW IS THE
 TIME.

It is a waste of time and space to attempt to predict the forecast of what the next hour, day or week may bring about in our relations with Mexico.
 Sixty hours after the reported fight, neither Washington nor the command ing general has any definite details of the collision.
 The duty of this country is to pre- pare for anything. While we are not eager for it, we should expect war. And expecting war we should be pre- pared.
 Things must be done within the next few days that ought to have been done 10 years ago. But an ener- getic people can, in an emergency, do a vast amount of work.
 If there is anything that will pre- vent bloody and long guerrilla war it will be an immediate show of force on the border. The American people have always been able to quickly organize themselves. The Americans, just as the Canadians and Australians, have the knack of getting ready for soldier duty with compara- tive quickness.
 It is fortunate that we have been selling ammunition and war material to the allies. The machinery that was used for this work since the outbreak of the war can be utilized for making material for our own soldiers. It is fortunate, also, that the presiden- did not listen to the protests of the peace at-any-price Americans and the pro- German propagandists when they were insisting that we should put an embargo on ammunition.
 Again the Mexicans cannot expect any war supplied from the allies. They cannot get any from Germany. If the Mexicans are determined to fight, and fight it must be, this is the accepted time for America.-Com- mercial Appeal.

NO HORSE THIEVES IN MON
 TANA.

In the American Magazine (. P. Connolly says:
 "There are no horse thieves in Montana today. The man who stole another's horse often left him help less to die upon the plains, and the Draconian justice of the pioneers is still tradition of the mountains.
 "In the number of culprits that the Montana 'Vigilantes' held in awe, and in the number of men it held suspend ed in the air, it had no equal in the history of the west. But that the pioneers were not hasty or egregious in their judgments is borne out by the fact that they waited until no men had been shot down in reckless blood at the stern commands of Hands up before they went to work in orderly and determined fashion to extermin- ate the road agents"

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

GNN NEhi go imONr.
 Dr. John Dill Robertson. Chicago's health commissioner, has this to say about alcohol:
 Tn the city of Chicago, where the death rate is approximately 100 day, it is safe to say that at least 25 per cent of these deaths arc caused direct ly or indirectly by alcohol.
 Sir William Osler, late of Johns Hopkins, professor of medicine at OK ford. McGill and Pennsylvania uni- versailles and one of the worlds great est physicians, says of alcohol that 1t produces acute inflammation of the stomach, hemorrhage of the pancreas, heart disease, cancer of the stomach, Bright's disease, fatty liver, hardened liver, inflammation of the nerves. cpl lepsy, hardening of the arteries and a multitude of other afflictions of the body.
 Those are known medical facts. Alcohol is truly poison. It Is not eases and afflictions I have mentioned above, but it invades the mental man and produces insanity. Alcoholic pneumonia is known to e-ery practitioner. In the past twen- ty years in Chicago the death rate from pneumonia was just twice what 1t was the preceding twenty years. Alcohol is without doubt to blame for part of these deaths. for in alcoholic pneumonia the death rate is tre- mendous
 No one can estimate the large num- Der of people whose death certificates are marked by diagnosis which seems to have no connection with al- cohol Still, if the truth were known 1t was the predisposing factor in the death of them.
 When say that 25 per cent of the death rate is directly or indirectly due to alcohol. I do not exaggerate. Twen- ty per cent of the mortality among in- fants Is caused by their having alco- holic parents. Alcoholic poverty-and I believe this phrase needs no expla- nation-is one of the great indirect causes"

A MORE CAPABLE CITIZENSHIP

The initiative and referendum can be depended upon to improve the citizenship of the United States, for as soon as people realize that the law making power is really within their hands they will take more interest in political matters. The capability of our citizens to conduct the affairs of government cannot be denied. In the year 1900 the average American had only s2 days of schooling in his whole life; in 1900 he had 1,2S5 days of schooling.

UP AGAINST MODERN BUSINESS.

It isn't the crank who is putting tho liquor traffic out of business. It's the business man, the railroad man, the banker. the lawyer, the merchant. the men who have to depend upon some one else for efficiency in the various departments of the important works. The liquor traffic is up against the modern business age. It is up against an enemy that it cannot throttle or buy or browbeat or bluff, and it might as we'll save what it can and go out ot business.

 eAaTENDER's FUTURE.
 There are about 100, 900 bartenders fn the United States. What will be- come of them when the saloon is abolished? What is it that makes . successful bartender? It Is his ability as a salesman. and a man who is good bartender will make . good clerk or salesman in practically any other kind of business. Furthermore. 1t requires many more people to sell $200. .000. 900 worth of bread and cloth ing. for example, than 1t does to sell liquor of the same value. And 1t Is more than likely that at least as many salaried employees. such as travelling salesmen. bookkeepers and stenog. raphers. will be employed.-Charies Sickle.

SOMEWHAT SARCASTIC
Attempts to Ridicule Proposition to
Annex Six Townships of Owyhee
County.

The advisability of anneXing a strip
from Owyhee County to Twin Falls
county, is comprising about six town
ships, is being freely discussed and
prominence given to the idea by the
Twin Falls papers, says the Bull Her
aid. The object in anneXing the ter
ritory, is to make it possible and legal
for the commissioners of Twin Falls
county to build a better road to Jar
bidge that its Magic City may con-
troll more of the trade to that prosper
Gus mining camp. We are sure a large
majority of the citizens of the west
end of the county would approve of
the plan, since they recently voted to
build bridge $40 feet long, across the
Snake river canyon 800 feet deep, so
the magic City" could control the
business of a 10000 acre irrigated tract
on the north side. This ambition
would surely be a parallel one.
Believing that both of these ideas
are feasible and good things for the
magic City" why stop here? There
are other worlds to conquer Why
not annex this 10000 acre tract on the
north side of the Snake river to Twin
Falls county? The legislature will
soon be in session, and as the magic
City" has a full delegation pledged to
expansion, it could easily be done by
the time the bridge is completed

lieved that with the holiday shipping

month of December, more adequate
service can be given than if the en-

Christmas.
"In spite of the fact that the eleven

worst sufferers, the early shopping
agitation advanced during the last
two years by department and other
stores had done much to alleviate the
hardships of those whose duties are to
serve the Christmas public.

in its favor. The man on the

girl behind the Christmas counter. He
must serve while others are at their
pleasure, and he can serve only up to
