Explain This Villa Business.

Editor Prospector: Folks are get ting all fused up over this late Mexican news. Yesterdays dispatches Say the administration is getting ready to recognize Villa as a revo- lutionist Does this mean that the administration is sure that Villa re. fuses to stay dead and that the-best way to fight him is to write notes to him that will take him a long time to read? And has the order to cap ture Villa dead or alive been canceled since he declined to be captured either way?
 Furthermore, how is Fl Presidente Wilson going to square that little Columbus foray that dragged the Ma itional Guard down to the border lo Lick tarantulas out of their overalls' Will be accept an apology from the whitewashed bandit and send the geIt an ultimatum stating what will har pen next time, and then put him on the list with the kaiser as a regular correspondent?
 Not so long ago Villa was an out law, unfit to associate with horned Itoads. He was also supposed to be dead. When the dead bandit is re- incarnated and made over into a rev |olutionary general again will it he good form to slip him arms and am- mu2ition for his use in fighting our late brother, Carranza? Also for his use next time he hops over to the United States and shoots up town?
 Why can't you get advance tips like Tom Lawson and pass the ., along to the boys? Like President Wilson we are strong for "pitiless publicity" in everybody's game but cur own: When do we drop Carranza into the discard and begin roofing for Villa?

States by.his ,acts- and nothing he car do can atone for his wrongdoings. In many respects: Villa is a genius. His military ability is in marked contrast to that of Carranza, who, while he is more of a. statesman than Villa. lacks the firmness and discipline of the rebel chief.
 Whether anything will be accom- plished by treating with Mexico on the basis of a belligerent country, is hard to say. Diaz in the south and Villa, Carranza and Salazar in tho north, will undoubtly differ with the commis sion in whatever they under take. If the United States refuses to acknowledge that the country is in a state of anarchy and chaos, and allows Villa to gain further control of the provinces, his rule will be hard to overcome, once fixed.
 The United States should refuse to treat with Villa under any circum- stances, and should offer a reward for his capture-"dead or alive"

MultitudinOuS Canines.

Editor Prospector: wish to reg ister a strong kick about so many dogs laying around on the streets. | the old days the dog was a necessity. Now they are a nuisance. The cOun- cil should pass a law killing off all dogs that are of no use; and there are very few that come under this class. It is impossible to keep d smaller dog, without him being dailJ torn and bitten until his life is in dan ger. Of course small dog is of no more use than a large one, but thev are more easily controlled than these big, hungry malamutes that prowl around our streets, crouch in the doorways, and make life miserable for women and children. Let every man with a useless dog dispose of hin and the town will be much better off. Forty or fifty huskies prowling thru the streets and around our backdoors gets on our nerves.

MIR. ADAMSON, whose fame rests on the linking of his name with the so-called eight-hour law, is peeveG because the railroads and their en- gloves are conferring on the question and are trying to adjust their differ ences without the aid of his pet meas ure. He says any effort to have the law revoked will be resisted and that Congress will spank" both sides to the controversy if they don't quit kickin' his law around. He helps the supreme court out by intimating that it regulates hours of labor and not wages" and otherwise intimates that it is about the finest little statute that ever went on the books. No doubt the law under any other name would be as heavily swaddled in uncertain ty but apparently the author is talk ing no chances.

CANADA's SAD ACCOUNTING.

In one of his earlier poems, thru W hich ran the martial note. Kipling recounted the cost of England of her Admiralty power. Both treasure and lives had been poured odt in profu- sion for this distinction. Now comes Canada, his Lady of the Shows. with her sad accounting of a credit of blood for debi; of loyalty tp the Elm pire. Since the great war began she has enlisted 377,205 men, and of this number 65,O00 are dead, 47,187 are wounded and 2.!07 are missing. Sta tisticians have discovered that the average of casualties to Canadian troops is equal only to the new en- listments for overseas service. In the six months, from June to November, this list of losses was 45,o65, upward of 1000 a month. The condition is serious one because it foreshadOws the realization of the fear of the peo- pie of the north--that, driven by he- cessity, their government will insti~ ute conscription. This will insure an exodus from the already stricken Dominion into the United States, whether 1t may be said many thou sands have already come because of the dread of being drafted into the war levies.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE AMERICAN DOLLAR.

The commanding position of the American dollar throughout the world is now recognized and freely admitted by England, which has been banker for the world for centuries. MT. Reginald McKenna, in his address before the House of Commons last week referred to the subject in these words:
 Ut is not easy to convert sterling wealth into dollar wealth. We must pay in dollars for what we buy now, not only in America, but all over the world"
 Our good fortune in quickly pass ing the other countries of the globe in the financial race and in becom- ing, almost overnight, a creditor na- ton instead of a debtor nation, is due, as everyone knows, to the ab- normal conditions brought about by the war. The "Old Lady of Thread needle Street" has been the money center of the world so long that mo- body would have predicted, three years ago, that it would lose that dis tinction to the American metropolis. Btu that is the case, as England ad- mits. The American dollar, which s only a little more than a century old, is the unit of wealth everywhere.
 This country, since the war began. has absorbed American securities held in Europe, to the sum of about two billions and in addition has loaned an equal amount to Europe. We own half the worlds gold and are fear ful lest we get too much of that pre- cious metal Every day of war sim Ely adds to our wealth and strength cns our financial security
 We cannot know, of course, wheth- CT we shall maintain our pecuniary distinction after the war is over, in the teeth of fierce competition which we must expect from abroad. That problem depends mainly on the atti- tude of our government-whether it IS DeHeVoleHt Io"dio S"Pi'oi oAAN' " deed, willing to cooperate with it in fighting the world battle, as the na- tions of Europe will cooperate with the businessmen of those countries. There is a growing feeling that the sympathy and assistance of the pow CTS at Washington will be one of the conditions of our success in compet- ing with the old world when peace comes With proper government en- couragement there is no question of the ability of the American people to hold their own in any world con- test.
 It is not the wish of the United

VILLAS PEACE OFFERING.

General Scott is a good man and we almost settled the American aues- tion once," Villa is quoted as saying in his request for a conference with with the American chief of staff, look ing to peace" between the United States and the bandit chieftain. Villa knows Scott's aptitude for smoothing over difficulties and evidently be- lieves that if a conference can be ar ranged the bloody past can be erased.
 In holding out the olive branch to the United States "The Tiger" as he is known is Mexico, acknowledges the error of his ways, or is trying to heighten the discord existing oe- tween the American government ;-nd Carranza. Probably he realizes that he made serious mistake in perma- nently alienating the sympathy of this country by murderously attack ing border towns and killing the White Chinese" as he calls Ameri- cans south of the Rio Grande. He would now make amends by .:oating his bloody hands with whitewash and is probably sending out a feeler tc see how the United States will view his proposal.
 Villa realizes that he exercised very poor judgment when he allowed his temper to run away with him when the United States recognized Carranza. He should have taken his medicine with smile.
 The United States, seeing that the factions were getting nowhere in Mexico and that the country was be- ing despoiled and foreign lives and foreign property being sacrificed, sent a joint note to the leaders of the var ious groups informing them that if they did not get together this country would take hand and straighten out the confusion existing in the torn re- public. They were told that the American government would strong ly consider recognizing the faction which showed itself to be the most capable of bringing the revolution to an end and restoring order in Mexico.
 Carranza was the only one of the leading chiefs who refused to go inlo joint conference and he pointedly told the United States that he was boss down there. Shortly afterWard our government recognized CarranZa and helped him in his battle against Villa by allowing Carranza soldiers to be transported over American soil, which viewed from the standpoint of the Allies in the Belgium case, was distinct breach of neutrality.
 It was this hostile move against Villa which aroused his ire and caus- ed him to swear vengeance against all Americans, to our great sorrow and humiliation.
 No doubt Villa feels that this gov ernment has done him a great injus- tice, and he is and will continue to be the strongest man in Mexican poli- tics, but he has forfeited whatever claim he had to our respect, sympa- thy and good will by the Columbus l aid and the massacre of Americans in Mexico. He has made himself an outlaw in the eyes of the United

Editor Prospector: l am a great lover of snowbirds and notice many large fiocks hanging around town for scraps. Would it not be a nice thing for our citizens to place feed where they can secure it. Bird life is interesting to all lovers of na- ture, and am sure that no one wishes to see these little feathered visitors suffer from hunger.
