THE B OF VILLA.

Whether Villa will fight or quit has
not vet been decided. The new pro-
visiona, government Of Mexico insists
that he do either the one or the otner.
While fighting is to be deplored. II
would simplify matters greatly II the
bandit leader should elect to flgnt'
and should fight until he me- the tate
that has finished so many other Next
can leaders, and many others VINO
ave fallen before the onsiaughts OF
Villas cutthroats.
Villa is in many respects a remark
able man. There was a time when II
seemed that he might be the mar to
lead Mexico out of the troubles into
which she had fallen, but the savage
In him gained the ascendancy. and In
stead OF the statesman into which ne
seemed likely to develop. he has
PLAYED the part OF the brute. and In
his attitude toward the national AT
fairs of Mexico he has obstructed and
embarrassed without Offering any
thing constructive.
The death of Villa would help to
solve some OF Mexico's problems. be-
cause it would remov a mai who has
shown no inclination to assist In the
creation Of a stable and orderly gov
eminent. but who seems determined
to oppose and harass whatever govern
ment may be established. Hence. for
the, sake of the country 1t Is to be
hoped that Villa will choose to figE'.
and that in the fight he will receive
his everlasting quietus.

all of them important, were mention
ed, including deduction Of non-essen-

that the individual can do.
We OF the great agricultural Sec

tons Of the spirit Of extravagancs
which have accompanied and fol-
lowed the val. These things, exist In

thousands Of people who had all their
lives lived from. hand to mouth found
themselves suddenly rich by reason
Of the phenomenal wages which they
were able to command for urgent war
work. The work had to be done. no
matter what it's cost. and many I'M
skilled workmen received more money
for n days work than they had been
accustomed to earn in a month. They
found themselves in possession OF
wealth which they did not know how
to use. The inevitable followed. The
money which came so easily was spent
recklessly. There were exceptions. of
course, but a very large proportion of
the inflated wages paid under those
conditions was spent for things which
In no way added to the comfort of
the purchasers. and was. therefore.
literally thrown away. Mere novels,
for instance, were filled with costly
furniture. when the rational course
would have been first to improve the
living quarters. Similar extravagance
was shown on every hand, and as the
possibilities for spending money ex-
banded the incomes were found
to be insufficient, and vast quantities
eof utterly useless things were purA
chased on the installment plan.
All of this Increased the demand
for luxuries and tended to withdraw
