January Is Mir. Wilson permitted the sending of the Lansing note measurably "justifying" the German contention as to armed merchantmen. Shortly after he changed his mind on that point. A few weeks later he was found attempting to smother Congress sional action on the subject-yet with in a week of that he flung his letter to Representative Pou into the melt ing-pot of legislative criticism. It is these kaleidoscope shifts of position on the Presidents part that have brought our foreign relations to such a critical stage. When it seemed good politics to "keep US out of war" in order to carry Congressional elec- tion, that was the war cry. Now that plunging us into war may serve to secure reelection for the President, that rash and perhaps fatal expedient is by no means unwelcome.

me hexican sltuauon IS gradually veerlng around to the conditions pre- dlcted, wltn the CaranZlsJas more Tn favor or viila than the United States. They persistently profess 1nendshlp and secretly Defnend Vllla. They know Nlila may shoot them but through the efforts of the U. $. they may be compelled to go to work, con sequently prefer riot and Villa.
 Reports are that Villa was practic- ally trapped with the assistance of Caranza troops but they made it con venient for him to go on his way un- molested. Gen. Funston knew that he would have to catch Villa with his own troops.
 If intervention comes, and it looks as though it would, it will be up to the United States to pacify the country, feed the starving, patch up their gov ernment at the cost of many good American lives and-hand it back to an embittered nation, a nation in which humanity plays no part.
 It is a splendid outlook for the United States, to say the least.

In conversation with a Republican Senator a few days ago, Senator un- derwood, father of the Democratic ta- riff monstrosity, is reported to have said that all the steel mills in his home town, Birmingham, Alabama, were running at full capacity, and not a mill was engaged in making goods for the European beligerents. When asked if it were not true that these mills were working on orders turned over to them by mills in the east and in New England, because the latter were deriving greater profits from war orders, and were therefore sub contracting with the Alabama mills to handle their normal business, Senator Underwood maintained a discreet sill ence.

Street paving? Well, it seems to be long way to Tipperary. Three years of discussion and preparation, with grades, plans and all legal hills tunnelled, would look like a certainty this year. Few objections are made if any, yet there is lassitude, not to say string lose somewhere that pre- vents action in the matter.
 Just where the lose screw is is difficult to determine. All are appar- ently infavor of the paving scheme yet we do not seem to approach the real stint of paving. Spring is here; all preparations are completed, yet actual paving is still very much in the situation of that famous place known to be paved with good intentions.
 Is some ones wood pile inhabited? :? Bretheren, do you think it more ad- visable to arise and sing to keep warm, or will some brother kindly put chunk of wood in the stove?

A number of former residents of Flagstaff, met at luncheon at Mrs. Mary Treats, 224 w. 22nd street, Los Angeles.
 After a social hour they decided to organize Flagstaff California Club, boosted by Mrs. Nellie Beal Francis.

The state republican central com mittee held a very harmonious meet ing, not to say veritable lovefeast at Phoenix last week Saturday. The old sore spots were scared over with good horse sense and there was a general disposition to overlook all past grouches with view of landing a part if not all of the next state ticket. There was enthusiasm and an opti- mistic feeling very much present all through the meeting.

Vne 0I the largest western cities ie- renCly losJ q lacLory enipioylhg -Uv workers. A DeinocraIlc paper coIl- menJing upon tnIs mciuenL says tnal every man, woman, or cnipd leaving q cily TOT anoJner residence decrease the value or industrial sues $l,UuO per capita. This, coming rom a Demo- cratic paper IS surprising argument in favor of a protective tariff law. Ii the loss ot factory employing 4OU workers means heavy loss to the site value of a city, the building up ot American industries under the infiu- ence of protective tariff means a corresponding increase in the site value of every part of the United States. Land values are to be main tained by providing protection and employment" says Democratic con temporary which is entirely in harm ony with the Republican view of the effect ia protective tariff.

The Douglas International says that the fact should not be forgotten that President Wilson sent U. s. troops into Mexico on a friendly mission. Mebby so, mebby so, but if we were Villa we would positively deny the statement. But the dove of peace, Gen. Pershing took along with him, looked more like an old eagle with both claws full of bug saws. It is al- most possible that Gen. Pershing took his crochet and knitting work along with him.

Since January first 5000 quarters of beef, 6S,0O0 carcasses of mutton and 57,000 carcasses of lamb have come into the United States from
 Argentina. Under the Democratic tariff law they came in free of duty, but here would have been the source of nifty bit of revenue under the Republican tariff law, and the price of meat to the consumer would have been in no wise increased. The Demo- crats will make up for the loss by placing direct tax on something else.
The Coconino sun., 1916-03-24

A few spattering shot mark the ad, vance of the fall drive on the Demo- cratic trenches. Seven out of ten towns in Maine have elected Republi- can mayors. Muscatine, Iowa, former ly Democratic, went solidly Repubh- can in the elections of March 9th Returns from the Indiana statewide primaries prove that there will be an old time Republican vote pulled in November.
The Coconino sun., 1916-03-24

Any reasonable man would think that the Democrats would seize as an excuse tor establishing protective rates of duty on dyestutfs made in America. 1t is matter of prepared ness, also. But they continue to back and tll and sidestep the issue and meanwhile, the loss to users of dyes continue to be $1,O00,0O0, daily to ac- cept the figures of Democratic office-holder.
The Coconino sun., 1916-03-24

The postponing of an important vote in Congress in order to permit Democratic members from Indiana to pass over the date of their primaries without having to go on record on a most important question, is fair measure of the motives which actuate the Democratic party in its conduct of the country's affairs. In this case what the Democratic leaders would like to have counted as courtesy is really cowardice and will be resented as such as soon as the people find a chance to express themselves.

 We would suggest to properly dis temper him, that he be taken to the place where the old wood shed used to stand and there so thoroughly at tract his attention to other portions of his anatomy that his mind is tempo rarily freed from other thoughts. Repeat this until he has clearer vision of existing conditions and some apprehension as to his hereafter.
