Our Trade with Mexico.

Let 20 one minimize the import
anCe of our trade with Mexico, or
get it into his mind that it doesn't
make a great deal Cf difference to us
about who is in Office down there.
The truth is that trade between the
two countries is now very large and
is increasing rapidly. With any
thing like a stable government it
would increase by leaps and bounds.
Last year our trade with Mexico
amounted to $27S, 100000. This
year it premises to be much more. It
Is profitable alike to Mexico and to
the United States and makes for
prosperity in both countries.
Carranza did little to encourage
trade between Mexico and the United
States. Indeed it was with the great
est difficulty that commerce was car
ried on while he was in office. villa
also did all he could to impede trade,
but as he was In the outlaw class
nothing better should have been ex-
pected of him. But with the ousting
OF Carranza and the taking of villa
into the government itself things
ought to be different. The business
men of the two countries will do all
they can to promote that degree Of
friendship and corGialitys that ought
to exist, to the peace and happiness
and prosperity of all concerned -

Absolutely Right.

DeSoto county people have an is
sue in the campaign for representa-
tive in the legislature that over
shadows all other political squabbles
in that part of the state. They
want county division, and we don't
blame them. Their county is as big
as some states, yet politicians around
the county seat at Arcadia have long
defeated any division plans proposed.
1t looks to a man this far off as if the
people who oppose county division
are standing in their own light.-St.

Are You Run
Down?
PEPSlNOL Will Make You Feel
SS.rong and Healthy

You cannot afford to lose strength.
Your muscular and nervous system
must be kept in good order so you can
do your daily work. That weary, "alI
tired out" feeling usually is due TO
digestive troubles. They are sending
POiSons throughout your system, over
loading your kidneys, making your
liver torpid. Pepsinol will overcome
these troubles, for it is splendid
stomachic stimulant, a creator of pure,
nourishing blood. Thus it repairs
weakened nerve tissue and keeps you
in perfect health.

COMMISSIONER BoARDMAN.

The appointment by President Viii
son of Mabel L. Boardman as commits
sioner of the District of Columbia is
reported pleasing to Washington resi-
dents. The politicians see in it an at
tempt by the President to evade giving
the appointment to real Republican
as he is required to do and also an at.
tempt to catch the women voters, but
that is not the general opinion in the
city. A prominent real estate operator
says of her appointment: 81 was a
good deal shocked at first, for 1 have
been against every part of this woman
business, but if we have got to have
woman the president has picked not
only the right one, but woman pre-
eminently fitted for the job"
Miss BOardman is known throughout
the country by her work for the Red
Cross and is a woman who can do
things. So active has she been that
while she is only one of seven mem
bers of the executive committee of that
organization, she is generally thought
of as the head of it. Her work at
San Francisco and during the World
war has endeared her to the whole peo-
pie and all viii unite in hoping she
viii be very successful in her new ad-
position.

While the list of state officials for
the next two years was practically
completed in last Tuesday s primaries
technically, the state campaign is only
begun Probably the next step viii be
the calling of the state Republican con-
vention, and possibly a Democratic
state convention, to which the party
candidates for state offices and for the
general assembly are eligible as mem
bers and who will adopt a party plat
FORM Formulated as it viii be by
members of the coming legislature it
will be something of a pledge of leg
islation to be enacted at the next ses-
sion of the general assembly.
This then will be an important po-
litical gathering and one where Candi-
date Hartness can express his plans
for the development of Vermont and
the nominees for the legislature can
define their policy on roads, schools,
taxes and other vital state questions.
1t probably will be the last state con
vention composed of men only but It is
not likely to ignore the women and may
declare itself regarding the ratification
IF the suffrage amendment.
The campaign should not lose life
or interest when that is accomplished.
There should be an active canvass to
elect men in sympathy with the dec
larations of the platform and to get
out a large vote in the presidential
election held at the same time. Con-
tests over town representative should
bring out the vote so Vermont can give
as decisive a majority in national cam
paigns as Maine did last Monday.

Robert Smillie, president and spokes-

trous strikes that the United kingdom
has experienced in years, is one of the
strongest individual forces in the Brit

in former days. he worked all day long
in the mines and achieved education DUR

their interests AS head of the miners

with the railwaymen, and transport
workers, Smillie Yields a power the ex-
tent of which can scarcely be overesti-
mated.

MIR. Hartness's Victory.
(Rennington Rannerl !

In times of deluge, one small shower
more or less, is of comparatively little
Importance. In Tuesdays primary the
| strength shown by James Hartness of
| Springfield was so overwhelming that
| the other three candidates were washed
| off the map
No one expected so tremendous a
| victory for Mr. Hardness. Even his
warmest supporters were astonished.
The Banner and many others had real
lied for two weeks that the Hardness
strength among the farmers was large
and growing but doubted whether, in
the absence of organized effort. they
would get out and vote.
They came out, however, and brought
their wives and neighbors with them,
and the figures show what they did
to their opponents.
Some folks will say that Mr.. Hart
ness g victory was due to his big ex-
penditure of money and the immense
amount of publicity spread in his be-
half but that is far from the whole
story. Advertising pays but it doesn t
pay so well as all that
The Hardness publicity brought his
name, his record and his accomplish
ments before the public The voters
read the matter a little and talked
about 1T more. They said to themselves
Here is man who is different from
the ordinary run of candidates. See
what he has done for himself and for
the town of Springfield. 1t won It do
any harm to let him try his hand at
the head of the state government -
ana mat Is what they have provided
Tor. The psychology of the situation
was all in favor of Hardness.
Moreover Mr., HartDess was the sec
ond choice of the other candidates and
OF most of their partfsans. When thew
turned votes from Agan. Emery and
rabbit they generally managed to
turn them to Hartuess.
James Hardness will be the next
governor OF Vermont and all the state
WISHES him well. He is a great man
who has built up a great business and
prosperous town by providing ideas
ana getting the right men to cooper
ate IN carrying them ort. In state af-
Iairs ne will undoubtedly adopt a sim
mar plan The Banner expects he viii
succeed to marked degree.
Inc three defeated candidates have
no reason for vain re grets. They were
good citizens before the campaign and
they should be better citizens now for
Ihey have widened their experience
1T appears that the state did not want
them Tor governor but the state does
want them as loyal and patriotic citizens
ana as such their opportunity has been
increased rather than impaired.
