As The Editor Sees II

The national campaign is well
under way, but because OF the
universal interest in the border
situation many people are giving
the respective candidates scarcely
a passing thought. Newspapers are
relegating them and their doings
TO the inside pages, while the fall
force of the limelight is focused
upon Mexico aud the troops on our
own side of the border. II is hard
lines for the politicians, but the
people, no doubt, will live through
the distressing ordeal without loss
Of sleep or flesh.
Pocahontas star herald., 1916-07-14

The republican party is in poor
grace TO criticize the present admin.
lstratiou for any Mexican policy
We would remind them not to be
uumindful Of the fact that Amer
lean fags were torn to pieces and
burned in various parts OF Mexico
during the administration Of Pres
ident TAFT, that the American con-
sulate was wrecked. That during
the same administration seven
American citizens were killed at
Douglas, Ariz and half the town
burned, aud that when the governor
of the state asked for federal pro
lection for the citizens, President
Taft declined to give il. Later
five Americans were killed and
seventeen were wounded at FL Paso,
All this, and more, happened dur
ing that administration, and vel
republicans are found who wonld
criticize Wilson's administration.

II there are any old bachelors IN
this country side, who are unable TO
annex a wife, they should take heart
and buck up. There is still hope
even for them. During the next
few years Europe will be almost
destitute of suitable material for
husbands, and far damsels will be
pInIng their lives away for the
mates that never come. Just keep
up heart tor a time, fellows, and If
nothing better Turns up you can
take that trip abroad and annex a

Tell The Truth

1t isnot pleasant and profitable
always to tell the truth in the col.
umns of newspaper. Men who
have tried this heretofore have al.
ways come to grief. Only a few
days ago the editor of a paper in
Indiana grew tired of being called
a liar, and announced that he would
tell the truth in the near future;
and the next issue OF the paper con
tanned the following items:
"John BONN, the LATEST merchant
in town, made a trip to BellevIlle
Yesterday"
"John Coyle, our grocer mar, is
dong a poor business. HIS store
is dirty and dusty. How can he do

Patriotism Is IN the air these days,
and it extends from one end Of the
country to the other, and embraces
all classes of citizens from the mil
lionaire to the pauper. That is
patriotism to ones flag and coun'
Try. But there is still another kind
Of patriotism that is Of great impor-
tance but Is not so generally observ-
ed. That Is patriotism TO the home
town, TO the schools, the churches,
tie lodges, the business men, in fact
70 everything that pertains to the
home life. The more prosperous
the home communities Of the coun
try, the greater is the power of
the country as single unit The
man who exerts his influence in
behalf Of his home town uses as
great brand of patriotism as the
one who mounts platform and
starts the eagle 10 screaming. As
matter of fact, there Is no compar-
ison between the two, for in nine
cases out of ten actions speak louder
than words. Patriotism TO country
is commendable, but that to both
home and country is even better.

1t is surprising how qnickIy a
person can lose his interest in a
subject that has been uppermost
in their minds for year or more.
Since the European war COM
menced 1t has been the one great
topic Of conversation and specu-
lation the world over. Now,
so far as we of the United
States are concerned, 1t is a back
number, showed off the map, prac-
tically forgotten. Our own little
clothes line affair with Mexico is the
all absorbing object before the
public eye and IN the public mind,
aud Just at this time sick mule
on the border is Of more Importance
TO us than the outcome OF any of
the innumerable clashes across the
water. Patriotism should and does
begin at home.

PHYSICAL VALUATIONS
To BE READY July |.
Public Utilities Commission Nears End
of Task-Revision of Rates
viii Follow Promptly.

With half a dozen extra accountants
added to Its force last week, the Public
Utilities Commission Is rapidly complet-
ing the physical valuations of the public
service corporations of the District.
After having been handicapped by lack
of funds for several month, the COM
mission now has $4,000 contained in the
urgent deficiency bill with which to
complete the valuations.
Officials of the commission stated yes
terday that they expect to be able to sub
nit their figures to the companies by
July 1. The first step then will be to
grant each corporation a public hearing
at which II may protest against what It
deems unfair in the commissions find
ings.
These hearings probably will consume
several months from the date of the COM
pletion of the valuations After hear
ing the companies side, the commission
then will decide whether the people of
the District are entitled to cheaper gas
and electric rates, universal transfers,
lower telephone service, or reduced taxi
cab fares.
The commission has completed the
valutions of the Terminal Taxicab Com
pany. Federal Taxicab Company, Auto
Livery Company. Barnett Taxicab Com
pany, and the Washington and Maryland
Railway Company.
