Has anybody heard much about him until he

Certainly they form the basis for the agrarian

little more than a paper issue about which to cen-

WASHIINGTN, Dr C, Nov. 83,—
While it is frequently easy for s
county to issue bonds and borrow
money for improving the local high
ways, the raising of the money to re-
tire those bonds st maturity is of-
ten not so simple Many,counties,

ure that the amount Of money rais-
ed represents the total cost Of the

be maintained repaired if, st the
end of the term of the bonds, the
county is to have anything to show

The question of financing county

Brewers say the war tax takes all the profit
they make on beer. Why not stop beer manufac-
ture and fool the government.
So we have decided to permit Mexico to work
out its own salvation, or more probably damna-
tion. as an exchange aptly puts it.
One paper advises its readers to “lend Belgi-
um a hand.” Better lend it an overcoat and a
meal ticket with the kitchen attached.
The campaign for Belgium Relief Fund con-
tributions is to be made a "whirlwind" in Ama
rillo. Let the big American wheels whirl in.
By sizing up their last winter's furs the ladies
may have a faint idea of the looks of a Belgian
hare after the recent unpleasantness in his native
country.
ent impasse in Mexico was to a great extent a
struggle between masses and classes, that the fac-
tion headed by Huerta waa totally aristocratic, and
that championed by Villa and Carranza totally
popular,
To some extent this may have been true, but
underneath it all lies the psychology of the coun-
try, a psychology which breathes despotism in its
most ruthless form.
The imperfections of human nature are etill
peramount to economic problems, and the dispo-
sition of the Mexican people and their leaders is
still more potent as a factor in the government of
their country than the disposition of lands.—Hous-
ton Chronicle.
SHAW AND FORBES ROBERTSON
Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson did not have
the patience to read Mr. Show's exposition of
English "Junkerism." And so, very curiously, Sir
Johnston cited against Mr. Shaw's position an in-
stance of the very attitude of the English nation
upon which Mr. Shaw chiefly relied to support his
position.
Forbes-Robertson said in hie interview in The
Star:
*'i remember today the words of my father
to me after the Franco-Prussian war—I can see
Come to think about it all the participants in
previous wars also were more or less successful..- --SE -t it n

George Bernard Shaw says the time has
come to talk and write soberly about the war."
Wonder if the prohibition orders in the warring
nations do not apply to war correspondents?
More than likely A. Rusten Bey figures that

cruiser Tennessee is s sort of evening up for the
sub-rosa attack on him when last in Washington.
to see it, but you will. The Prussians will try to
rob us one day as they have robbed Austria land
Denmark and Poland and France. When they
feel strong enough to try it, England will have tc
fight for her existence." Those were my father e
tual total cost of a road during tire
life of the bonds. On the total cost
of a road, the authors cite the fol-
lowing two examples as affording at
least a basis for estimating the to-
tal minimum cost of a mile of road;
Total Cost of a Mile of load Built
There seems to be a scramble for the new
Regional bank currency If anyone should have
grown tired of a bunch of the old kind he may
have we would be willing to take it off his hands.
And the process of benevolent assimilation
in Mexico is merrily resumed. Carranza and
Villa, the twin-brothers in crime, will have it all
their own way since the American troops have
vacated Vera Cruz.
Herbert Corey, the American newspaper cor-
respondent, has been arrested in England because
, he had the gall to find fault with the British news
censorship. And when Corey is released we may
expect to hear the real truth about the English.
Should General Boreas happen to sweep the
Panhandle with his allied hosts some of these days
none need be at all surprised. Just intrench be-
hind a warm stove and let the General have his
way. His siege guns are irresistible and his armies
never lost a battle.
• The Amsterdam Handelsblad insists that Hol-
land and the United States intervene and stop the
war. Since the Handelsblad is close to the seat of
war it might step over and see what it could do
single-handed. Since our Uncle Sam did not start
any war he can hardly be expected to stop one.
Everybody Uusually Means Nobody
Lord Kitchener’s placards celling for more re-
cruits are not quite as reassuring as they might be.
"Join the army till the war is over! and Come
now; don't have to be fetched! The people will
look after your homes." Those contemplating
joining might have the feeling about leaving their
homes "to be looked after by the people " that
what ia everybody’s business generally turns out
to be nobody's businesa.—Kansas City Star .
DISAGREEABLE OUTLOOK IN MEXICO
The outlook is anything but promising in Mex-
ico.
The Aguas Calientes conference seems to
have succeeded only in giving Pancho Villa a palp-
words to me more than forty years ago.”
Mr. Shaw would regard that as vindication
Early in hie article printed in The Star Sunday he
told of "the beginning of the anti-German phase
of that very ancient propaganda (militarist prop*
aganda) in England." He placed it with the
Franco-Prussian War. Reciting swiftly the rise of
the modern German power Mr. Shaw wrote:
"Suddenly Germany beat France right down
into the dust by the exercise of an organized effi
ficiency in war of which nobody up to then had
any conception. There was not a state in Europe
that did not say to itself: "Good heavens! what
would happen if she attacked us?’ But we were
not such fools as to leave it at that. We soon pro*
duced the first page of the Bernhardian literature:
an anonymous booklet entitled "The Battle of Dor-
king.* Its moral was To arms; or the Germans
will besiege London as they besieged Paris." From
that time until the present the British propaganda
of war with Germany has never ceased."
Incidentally, Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson
might like to know that his countryman and friend,
Mr. Shaw, agrees with the regular English view
that the fighting was essentially righteous on Eng-
land's part. The irregular views of Mr. Shaw are
that the cause of war was hypocritically stated,
that Englishmen have been as pugnacious and as
offensive to Germans as Germans have been pug-
nacious and offensive to Englishmen, and that this
hypocrisy and English militarism threaten to spoil
the fruits of the Allies' victory, which should be
simply a triumphant defense of democracy against
militarism everywhere.—Kansas City Star.

A hurry up order for 4,00,000 blankets for the
armies of the allies has been received in Chicago.
The average price has been fixed at $5 each, mak-
ing a total of $20,000,000 to be divided among
the blanket makers and dealers of the central west.
Every day it becomes but the more apparent that
Europe is just beginning to call on the United
States for its food supply and army wearing ap-
parel. and the resources of this country are certain
to be taxed to the very limit.—El Peso Herald.

a series of years. The figures quot-

More Laborers Received.
PADUCAH, Texas. Nov. 23,-
Another train load of laborers was
received at Paducah for Cottle
County farmers last week. There
were about 500 in all. The farmers
of this county do not hope to gather
all of the immense cotton crop this
year, but they are putting forth every
effort to gather what they can. All
the warehouses at Pafucah are now
fnll and the people are trying to
get the commissioners’ court to build
more. The farmers are putting as
little cotton on the market as poset-
ble.

THE GIRL WHO LETS HER MOTHER SLAVE
(By Laura Kirkman)
"I wish I could help you get dinner," she says
to her mother, on the maid's day out, “but you
see, the Cleff Club meets at four and isn't over till
six, so I can’t, very well." “Can't," indeed! She
doesn't allow, for a minute, that she could leave
the club meeting a little early, for once, and so
manage to kill the two birds. And it's the same
when her mother is sewing for her-—or doing any
of the million self-sacrificing things that take her
strength; the girl is sure to find something to do
that’s more important, than helping her mother.
She hasn't stopped to‘think that when a woman
reaches the age of forty, or so, she hasn't as much
reserve strength as the young have—that if her
mother were to fall ill, suddenly, she might not
have sufficient reserve to combat the disease. Her
I reserve has been squandered on dresses and din-
ners and all these other dreary tasks that she was
allowed to do alone. May this thoughtless daugh-
ter stop to think, now—now when the thinking
can still right matters!
She’s making her bed of thistles.

CHICAGO, Nov 23.—Every roll-
road in the south and west will co-
operate with the government in dis-
tributing the millions of immigrants
which are expected to come to Ame-
rica when the European war enh-
sides
The Norfolk and Western has of-
fered 14,000 acron which the com-
pany owns in Viriginia. and mans
other lines will follow suit, for the
railroads have awakened to the op-
portunity to increase the settlements
along their lines. The Atchinson
and Great Northern are large own-
ers of land in the West, and are
considering plans for opening the
land on easy terms to alien farmers.
/According to James J. Hill: the
plsn depends for success on the class
of immigrants that will come. While
there are many difficulties to be en-
countered in reaching a basis of dis-
tribution which would appeal to the
aliens and at the same time be equi-
table to the stockholders of the rail-
roads, there is much optimism ex-
pressed by railroad men.
The immigration flow has fallen
off 75 per cent since the opening of
the European War, but a flood of
newcomers is anticipated as soon as
the stricken peoples can get accom-
modations on the trans-atlantic lin-
ers.
The United States Government
realizes the seriousness of the situa-
tion. and is already planning to take
care of the Immigration, particul-
arly with a view to turning It away
from the cities and industrial cen-
ters and placing it where it is meat
needed, on the farms.
The railroad men, through the
Rai’goad Development Association,
will cooperate with the government
scheme, which includes the utiliza-
tion of the agents of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, the Immigra-
tion both from the employers and
from those who want work. This in-
formation will be available both lo-
cally and at the ports of entry, and
the needs of the farmers and the
opportunities in rursi districts will
be met, as far as possible, by this
cor creative effort.
It is pointed out by Fovernment
statisticans that nearly three-fourths
of the immigrants, or 73 per cent,
have remained in the large cities of
America. New York alone has 7.
000,000 foreign-born Chicago has
782,000, Philadelphia 384.000, Bos
ton 243,000 and Cleveland 196,000
Fall River, one of the cotton-mill
towns of New England, has 42.7 per
cent of its population of foreign-
born immigrants.
The plan adopted by the Railway
Development Association was sug-
gested by a commission in Belgium
.which is studying conditions there
and trying to find some way to re-
lieve the people who will suffer at
the end of the war. That this suf-
fering will be intensified when the
army disbands, and the soldiers re-
turn home to find their farms de-
vastated. Is expected by the Belgium
commission
F. H. La Raume, president of the
railway organization says: “The rail-
roads of the country are among the
largest owners of farm lands in the
world. These immigrants. If left to
shift for themselves, wil congre-
gate in the cities and increase con-
gestion. If the railroads will under-
stand that every farmer who settles
along their right of way means more
business, they should be willing to
donate section of land, to be cut in-
to small tracts and sold, or leased
on small rentals. The plan I would
suggest is to sell the farms at as low
a figure as possible, giving the im
migrant plenty of time to pay."

CHRISTIANA, Nov. 23.—The only
menace to the neutral position as-
sumed by. Norway, in the opinion of
certain well informed citizens, ap-
pears to hinge upon a possible In-
vasion of Sweden by Germany. There
have been intimations. It Is said,
that Germany desires a base of op-
erations on the southern coast of
Sweden, Norway, by virtue of a de-
fensive alliance with her sister king-
dom, would have to take up arms
against Germany. Such a contin-
gency. area in the minds of those
who pretend to see its possibility is
regarded as remote.
Norway is expected to maintain
her neutrality. What may happen
to her after the war, in event of
victory for the allies, is regarded by
many Norwegians as a more tangi-
ble danger than the likelihood of
her becoming involved in the cone
flirt. There la a long standing mis-
trust of Russia la the minds of these
Norwegians.
It Is said to be no naw idea that
one day Russia, in her pressing need
for a western ocean gateway, may he
tempted to seek such outlet through
Swedish and Norwegian territory.
Heretofore England has been looked
to as a bulwark against such possi-
ble aggression. Now it has occurred
to certain Norwegians that in the
possible flush of victory and with
England and Russia closely allied,
the former's vigilance might be re-
laxed.
Notwithstnading these bugaboos,
with which, so far as could be learn-
ed, official Norway is not deeply con-
cerned, the country is pursuing its
normal way suffering comparatively
little from depression on account of
the war. According to an official
statement by a Norwegian authority
less than ten parcent of the country’s
population is out of employment—
a condition scarcely out of the ordi-
nary at this season,
imports of food stuffs from the
United States hove mate in-
creased, due to the closed markets
of Germany and Austria. Such fall-
lag off as is noted in industrial and
shipping activities is due to the dan
ger attendng transportation of raw
material on the seas, and to Bright-
ening of credits abroad:
guard for neutrality, by • r
ing of the Department of Commerce
and Industry, no shipments that can
by the moot liberal construction be
considered contraband can be trans
shipped from Norway into belligerent
countries.
