JUST WATCH AND SEE.

According to dispatches, the administration is tired of discussing matters with the MexicaHs and told the chief that he must either do lt thing or another.
 If we remember correctly, we have heard ',r- thing like that before As matter of fact didn't the president tell the "Greasers' that they had to salute our flag once? What was the re- suit? The result was that few of our citizens were killed when they attempted the bluff and then came home-ninus the salute
 Only recently, President Wilson sent punitive expedition into Mexico with the order to catch Villa dead or alive-it didn't matter which. The expedition went-the result, few more were killed and the expedition was halted Yesterday the chief was told that he must either sign cer- tain agreements or repudiate former understand ings.
 It's dollar to doughnut that he will do neither. Result-a paper bullet followed by a semblance of concentration of troops on the bor- der just to gain time for little more barley and incidentally impose more taxes on the country that's all. Just watch and see.

IS THE COUNTRY PROSPEROUS?

Talk about country being prosperous: It may be, but when over fifty thousand farmers seek the loan of money from the government; j; the prosperity that the administration is so prone to speak about, vanishes into hot air, according to our estimate of prosperity.
 When a small manufacturing center is taxed to its full capacity to supply the demand at prices unheard of, and yet the producers are compelled to borrow in order to carry on their business, it would seem as though there was something wrong somewhere; and what is applicable to a small community is also applicable to a country. If our country is so prosperous, why are these farmers in need of money? Surely the consumer is paying a goodly price for everything he gets. This should give the farmers plenty of money Yet they have to borrow. Obviously, the much talked of prosperity is merely make-believe prosperity. There is nothing real or substantial about it that we can see.
