able weeks in the year to the Della

Now, according to the New Orleans Times Picayune, "word comes from Brazil that the coffee-carrying ban ner has been lost by the British and has been captured by the American merchant marine. Cheerful news this, to those who remember the old three legged voyages made by the British ships out from Liverpool to Brazil with British exports, up to the United States with coffee, and out from the United States with cotton. Now, the American ships carry exports of Amer ican factories and fields down to Bra gil, and the British ships bring imports from Europe in return for the cotton cargoes. The coffee banner is a good one to hang on the walls of the board of trade"
 It is also a good banner to hang on the walls of the shipping board, which has done much to provide the gulf ports with shipping and to create the opportunity that is thus seen to have bOA'lS puNh lEulG. 0dI three-legged voyage of the British was broken by the growing absorption of the cotton-carrying trade by American vessels. Naturally, the American lines fell heir also to the cargoes of coffee. With these staples as the basis and foundation of cargoes between this country and Europe and this country and South America the United States ships are in splendid position to com pete also for miscellaneous cargoes. America is the greatest producer of cotton and the greatest consumer of coffee. Why should she not enjoy the bulk of the ocean tonnage composed of these commodities? The answer is that she does enjoy it. The future of American shipping grows steadily brighter. All we need is a liberal market and a more reasonable tariff to put all of our idle ships into com mission. Perhaps that day is not far off.

VILLA-THE ANOMALOUS

No other murderer or robber of modern times ever had his crimes surrounded with such romantic glamor as Pancho Villa, who recently fell a victim to the bullets of assassins in ambush. It was fitting that he who had slain so many others in cold blood should also die in the same manner. It was retributive justice that he who had shot so many in the back should himself be murdered from behind For years the bandit defied two gov ernments, raiding the American bor- der with almost the same degree of impudent assurance that he displayed in his outrages throughout Northern Mexico. He is perhaps the only man who successfully eluded an army, and whose unsuccessful pursuit cost gov ernment hundred million dollars. Villa, in the height of his outlawry, was absolutely invincible and heart less, killing his captives because they were in the way or because they were drain upon precarious food supplies. He is credited with having burned dead and wounded villagers alike upon great pyres merely to get rid of them in the easiest way. He was unscrupu- lous and treacherous, and betrayed many a confederate and follower when some immediate purpose could be served thereby.
 Of most outstanding interest, there fore, was his sudden and apparently complete reformation from the most notorious bad man of the American continent to one of the most peaceful and progressive rancheros in Mexico. After having received full pardon and grant of land from Obregon, Villa turned his bandit followers into peace ful peasants and farmers, tilling their fields with modern machinery, caring for their families, educating their children, going to church, establishing laws, administering justice, and in every way giving the lie to their, for mer mode of existence. It is hard to perceive in the little father' of this idyllic community the bloodthirsty ruffian of former days. Villa is dead and he has gone to whatever penalty or reward awaits him; but he has left behind him the most weird and con- tradictory record any man ever es- tablished.
