odda anyway now that American troopa havo baen In
Mexiro for a month?
Aa to tho Carranza llaniatnl for th withdrawal
of tha American troopa that'a aometlilnK elaa. Ne(ot1a-
tlona will ba entered into um uaual but in tha nioantlmn
let ua hoi that the American troopa will remain In
Mexlno. Wa confaaa to a bit of doubt about what course
admlnlatrtition offlclala will decido Ir purniie however
and the affair at ranal convince ur Ihn I Ihey will heal-
tala to longer allow the puraiilt of the bumllta In Mcxioo.
It may he um haa been reported that exc ited civilians at
Parral precipitated the liruah with American troopa hut
there la reaaon enough to believe that coining aa It did
almultanenualy with the receipt of the (Urrantui note In
Washington that it hua a more atgntflcanl meaning. Hut
whatever the cauaa the American troops demonstrated
their ability to hold their own under any and all cir-
cumstance which may arise in Mexico.
Administration offlclala seem Inclined to hellevo that
tba Carrañas note doesn't demand the Immedlntn with-
drawal of I he American troopa hut only Invites negotia
tions to limit their atay In Mexico. Perhaps this la what
Mr. Carranui had in mind tail it N Juat as probable that
ha meant aotnethlng elar. In thfa aame n te ho says
Washington offlclala made the mlataka of thinking he
had agreed to the American troopa crossing Into Mexico;
lster on he may tell ua that again they wars mistaken In
thinking he didn't demand the Immediate withdrawal of
tha American troopa. Without a doubt he will loll
hla own people that.
However It la immaterial to the penplo of the Amer-
ican borderland what Mr Carrama aays he agreed to
or what he didn't agree to. It la what tha admlnlatra-
tlon official at Washington agres to that Interaata ua
hers. Our people feel that the withdrawal of the Amer-
ican troopa from Mexico at thla time will he a grievous
mistake. At Columbus American citizens were out raged
and whether Mr. Carranza conasntel cr not It wna
plainly the duty of the American troopa to enter Mexico
and put an end to these murderous outlnwa if adminis-
tration ofriclala thought It advlaable to have the bandit
chase sanctioned by Mr Carranza all well enough. What
the people of the borderland wanted was the aid of the
American troopa in hunting down these Mexicans. For
tha American troops now to be withdrawn without hav-
ing u' i .mj'lished the purpoae for which they crossed the
line mi) mean perhapa. mure outrages similar to that at
Columbus And this Is why the people of the borderland
are opposed to the withdrawal of these troopa It will ba
time enough to do that when Villa and hla followers have
been capturad dead or alive in the meantime on with
the pursuit.

A Concrete Lesson in Preparedness.
(New York Amerloan.)
What sticks out in thla story of audden Invasion by
Ilia's bandit forcea la the unprepared condition of our
own border troops.
The soldiers wore the right stuff. They proved that
aoon enough. Hut their equipment was shamefully In-
efficient. The news alory relates that there were not even riflea
enough to go around though this seema Incredible.
Then one at least of the machine guns would not
work. Whether the mechanism was deficient or whether
the gunners "Jammed It" we are not tald. But in any
ease this .ill Important weapon was out of commission
Just when needed.
In addition the cavalry could not keep up the pursuit
of the raiders beca uae there were no supply trains to
follow them with water and food. Men and horses rode
back fa in lulled and exhausted.
Our little artny has as fine officers and men aa
any army In the world.
Hut Its equlpmsnt Is scandalously and dangerously
small and Inefficient.
We hope this leaaon will sink deep Into the country's
mind and that universal conaent will tell Mr. Bryan and
all hla aort who are opposing appropriations for supply-
ing our sallora and soldiers with the right weapons and
with KNOl'OH WKAPON8. to defend u that It is time
they ahut up.
With the dead bodies of murdered American men and
Amerloan women lying on American soil the nation la in
no mood to llaten to paclflat simpletons
The voice of an Indignant people demands PRBPAK
RDNKBS not pacificism.
The country la tired and sick of these phrase makers
and their endiosa gab. We want no more of It. What we
all want and now mean to have Is a navy and an army

Mother's Day.
(Ban Antonio Express.)
Agreeably to the proclamation of Governor Ferguaon
Holiday May 7 la to be obaerved in Texaa aa "Mother's
Day" when everyone la expected to wear a white flower
In token of regard for the truest most sincere snd on
selfish friend that any of ua has ever known.
The governor suggests In connection with the observa-
tion some expression of gratitude and affection to the
living mothers a memento or gift of some aort or floral
offering or at least a message of loving remembrance.
If Ood In Ilia wiadom haa culled our mother home to
dwell wllh the angels we may honor her memory by
weurliig the white flower that la emblematic of the purity
of her love and we may further do honor to her molding
of our character by soma sot of klndneaa and generosity
to some other mother or by eome expression of eeteem
fot I lie goodly eouls who may ba Infirm or lonely or in
need of sympathy or who would at least appreclats the
sentiment which Is embodied in the obaervaiire of
Mot her e Day.
There la a Jewleh aaylng that God could not be every-
where and ao He made mothera and to the extent that
we pay sincere homage to them do we draw nearer to
the God on high only mother love la comparable to the
divine. Through sickness aa in health she nursed us
tenderly and uncomplainingly hesltsting al no aacrlflcr
for our good willingly giving her life. If need be that wu
might live suffering In aymputhy with all our pain and
rejoicing In all trlumpha equally with uurselvea. Even
when we have been disobedient and have strayed away
from the fold her heart has gone with us and when all
uthere have condemned because of our wlckedneaa she
has clung to ua aa loyally as if we had merited the wealth
of affection that is exhauatless. The father may repudi-
ate the wayward offspring that has brought reproach
upon the family escutcheon; brothers and sisters may be
at enmity huahanda may deeert their wivea or wives
their husbands friends that had been true for a time
may fall away but a mother's love eudurea through all
lime and In all circumstances and Is always dependsble
Kortunalú la ths man or woman to whom this mother
love has never been denied by the cruel hand of fate
fortunate still If Its memory has been cherished and has
been a guerdon of his life! Are there any ao mean and
ignuble aa would not find it a pleasure to appropriately
observe Mother'a Day?

But we rue. he's made 'em sir
With the way he took the hiñera on there

And ITs htp honrsy for htm.
With Mi visage Horn and grim.
With a tiger and another cheer for Doddt
For Dodd daring Dodd.
With Ms bonny Dors s wsy
To the thunder or the battle.
Like splendid boy at play!
They tried to turn him down
Frery clique must have Its clown-
Rut they didn't know ihe mottle that was

Like s cub lieutenant there.
He wag it 'em everywhere.
And he showed Ms I'nrle sm he knows his

Brave old Dodd. darlnr Dodd.

With the spirit Of the soldier
And the bubble of the boy!
Let ths battle torio ring

And wake the country's courage 'naath the

With the animal of the rray
When they turned like hoys at play
And rought the bravest battle under Dodd I
Under Dodd daring Dodd.
A youth again an blight
With the spirit of Uie horn
And the dauntless will lo fight!
Love la morning In ths heart.
And morn that makes the sky
Like a pure and radiant dawn
That shall never fade or die.

iTovtdlng that we take the morning paper's

Almut your weather prophesies galore.
We lake a rrsvanette along and e'en a div-

A Unen duster and a palm leaf fan;
A heavy winter ovcrcont and sealskin cap

A parasol to keep away tha tan;
A pair of woolen legglut and a Panama

And seven suits of varied underwear
Whene'er we brave the elementa and set
about tn go
And make a friendly vlllt anywhere.
Whene'er we read your bulletins we all Is'

To rirure out the mixture that you hand u?

And every last prediction read! the same.

THE SCIENTISTS.
Prof Amariah Tibbs was all unknown to
fame
t'ntn one day he set about to make himself
a name.
He got out his old telescope and aimed It
at the stars
And much to bis surprise he found a brand
new wart on Mars.
No one had seen the thing before it was a
famous find;
Ths w hele world paid It tribute to his sci-
entific mind.
Prof. Tlbbs' discovery created such a stir
A lecture bureau signed him at one hundred
dollars per.
Prof. James Terwtlllnger long occupied a
chair;
The one-horse college salary gave Mm no
cash to apare;
The future seemed quite hopeless to Uie
aclenUst until
' me day he round some microbes on an old
one-dollar lull
i if course Uie pipers got the news and
spread It fa- and wide.
Mid much learned comment editorial be-
ilde.
lie trained a troupe of these mtrrobei and
put Uiem on the stage.
And now In high priced vaudeville he is
the current rage.
Prof. Alexander Butts knew not the spot-
llftirs glare.
ll someUmea struck the faculty but not Mi
humble chair.
one day he wrote g treatise on "What Mod-
ern Dramai Mean."
A circus waa the only show that he had
ever seen.
The "Modern Drama" stuff went great ind
he was In demand;
He spoke berore ths women's clubs through-
out tlie entire land.
He's quoted as authority and worshipped
rrom afar.
And when he travels now it's In a hand-
some private car.
Nature is like a breath
Of child upon the tree
That wakens from wintry death
At stirh a breath to be
Reborn to leary hours
And nights of whispering dew
Oh. what Immortal powers
Dear Ood from you!
Pave the way with atinsMne here
And maybe up above
You'll find your own a path or cheer
Between two rows of love.
THE UNSEEN RONTJ.
Be not cast down ye frail snd fond-
There 1s for all an unseen bond
That from some heavenly bourne of love
Drifts down tn darkness or In light
To help us hold our hearts above
The tides that sweep us unto night.
Look up and trust and go your way-
There Is sn unseen bond to stay
The feet from sbimbllng and the will
From sinking Into harm and Ili-
on brothers of this gjortal clay.
That bond shall save its harmless still.
Through old negations snd the strife
Of destiny and doom and tours.
There is sn unseen bond of life
That stands between us and our fears
A tlo that round us holds us fast
To Uie eternal heart so vast
Be not afraid ye faint and frail-
There is sn unseen bond. Indeed.
That whether on the hill or vile
Shall lift in when we flint or fall.
Or when our sorrowing hearts may bleed
For that dear love and hope that sings
Along the glory of His wings.
We are but drssms perhaps.
Of some one's thoughts In Heap
Or shadows that relapse
To light when o'er us sweep
The wings or the Dreamer Vast
Who sows each star
With dreams or present and past
fiucl a we are.
We never can thank Him enough
Wa never can praise as we should
His soothing our way of Uie rough
And changing the bad rrom the good.
But yet we may babble along
with our worship of little Uilngi
For even In surh a song
The spirit of Paradise sings.
And perhaps In the end there's a chance
That the Infinite voices of praise
Have echoed our own to His ears
Through the silence and tin of our day
Something In us getting bark
To the childhood glow of life;
Lire's human jumping j.u-k -
First a sunbeam then a 'strife.
Here's the willow-whistle hour
Here's the top and marble spell
Oh how youth doth eome to flower
In this dream sown dell.
Think of It.

Dl-E TO BE HAPPY.
Dae to be happy and right on time
To the lilt and ths swing of the spring's
old chinas:
Ready and waiting tn whistle snd blow
And grow as the birds and U blossoms
grow.
lo be happy and here I am
Dusting my brow with the bloom and the
balm
Of the spring-sweet days and the laughter-
dew That is making me over all fresh and new.
Due tn ba happy and that's my style.
To take my pack on my back and mills.
To travel the road or the springtime gleam
And weave my shuttle and dream my
dream.
March or lbs coronal hours.
Pageant of things that begin
To form front rank with the floweri
Out of this soil of sin.
Ood'a aky It banner blue
Over the branches of earth.
And we drink from a cup of dew
That Ii wine of a wondrous mirth.
The unbound brooks are away
In a bubbling joy to be fres
Through the gates of the rainbow spray
to the arms or tne tumbling gea.
And we are at one aiUi tba seit
To be part of Bill roysUc sweep
Of breast to a mating breast.
Of the ihosJRao the deep.
If thoughts were In a little rasa
I.Ike you see on t outers where
They sell you all Uie little needs
or lire Just at you fare;
think I'd Ilka to buut and hunt
l mil a case I spied
Where there were love and laughter shown
All bundled up Inside
1 would not spend my pennies wen
For anything but those
So I might share wtth other man
The sunshine and the rose.
One service I can give
Who need luch service loo
To help some railh tu live
That needs tha dew
Of song and love ind trust
fir courage to go on
Out of tba night of dust
To loves clear dawn.
