One of the bills introduced into the legislature provides for
a tax of $500 per year on soda fountains. We have not heard of
any of our dispensers of cold drinks circulating a petition asking:
for the passage of the law.
Over in Haskell county a taxpayer became enraged at the
action of the county assessor in raising his assessment and hit
the assessor a blow on the head, knocking him down. We are
glad this practice did not become popular last year.
There is much talk of “pure shoe legislation” and we believe
that some law along that line is entirely right. Shoes made of
paper looks like those made of leather to us and perhaps to
millions of others and we who can not tell a good shoe. A law
compelling manufacturers to brand the shoes would certainly
be as just to compel the branding of oleomargerine, colored pick-
les or food of any kind. We doubt if a state law on the subject
would be very effective but a national law would certainly be all
right. Representative Oldfield, of Arkansas, has offered in con-
gress a bill of this kind but of course it will not pass this session.
We hope he will reintroduce the bill next session.
We are building a great state. We
are progressive. We are doing, or
trying to do, much more in the way
of public development than has at

While the state is making every effort to cut expenses and
the legislature is straining every nerve to cut out every dollar
of unnecessary expense, and while the county is endeavoring to
so conduct affairs that the next rate will be lower, why not try
to economise in the city? The city rate is higher than the state,
county and school all added together and it appears that there
should be more opportunity to economise than in any other place.
We believe that one man can perform the duties of street com-
missioner and marshal at the same time and save one salary.
Why not elect a street commissioner with the understanding
that he resign and allow the marshal to perform the duties of
that office. This is one of the many places where the service
will not be crippled and where there will be a big saving.

Once again the dove of peace has folded her wings in this
side of the Atlantic and old Mars is waving his weapons in
triumph. Our sister republic, Mexico, is again in the throws
of civil strife that is more terrible than any previous contest.
Mexico City, one of the most beautiful cities of the world, is
being gradually shot to tatters by belching cannon of immense
size and machine guns of incredable rapidity.
The president of the republic, Madero, is intrenched behind
the walls of the National Palace, a building that would have
impregnable fifty years ago but now the cannons of the rebels are
gradually reducing it to a pile of debris.
The rebels, under the leadership of Diaz are in possession
of the arsenal. Diaz is a nephew of the Diaz that grew old in the
service of Mexico and under whose despotic rule Mexico made
her most rapid development. He was deposed by Madero about
two years ago and now his Nephew is leading a revolution that
is shaking the country from center to circumfrance. The arsenal
and the National Palace are more than a mile apart and from
each of these places heavy artillery is hurling death and dis-
tinction at the other. The whole city is being destroyed and the
people subjected to all the dangers and privations of warfare.
Women and children are the victims of cannon the same as the
soldiers. News from the city is limited on account of the strict
censorship but it is known that President Madero has been asked
to resign.
The government of the United States has a most difficult
part to play during the enactment of this great tragedy. The
right of Mexico to govern herself is to be preserved but it is the
duty of this country to see that the property of our citizens and
their persons are respected and under the Monroe doctrin. it is
our duty to protect foreign property and persons for we will not
allow them to land an army in this continent for that or any
other purpose, hence it may be necessary for the United States
to intervene and put an end to the war.
If this is done it may cause quite a war with our sister re-
public, which, of course, could end only in the subjection of that
rebellious country.
Another complication is the change of administration that
is to take place the Fourth of March. It is said that President
Taft does not want to take any decisive steps unless driven to it
by necessity.
Whatever is done it is now apparent that President Wilson
will inherit a big lot of trouble and perhans a war.
It is to be regretted, but unpleasant things must be met in
national affairs the same as in private affairs, and wisdom and
justice should temper every action of this great country.
Since writing the above, fighting has temporarily ceased and
President Madero, now under arrest, resigned and General Huerta
has been proclaimed president. The gist of the news on Wednes-
day morning was as follows;
Mexico City. Feb. 18.—Francisco T. Madero, arrested in the
national palace this afternoon by Genernl Blanquet, one of his
own commanders, was forced to sign his resignation from the
presidency.

president.
