THE RIP RAP WORK.
Wo wonder If the people of Augus
ta fully realize how vital to our pro
pones! dykes Ik a general appropria
tion by congress for the rivers and
harbors.
The money which has already been
men and the money which yet must
be spent upon our embankments will
he lost unless further government al I
in the rip rapping Is given.
We are In a serious plight. The
work has !>pon earrled to a. point at
which It would be pure waste to drop
It. To carry It forward requires
larße additional sums, but unless the
government undertakes a continua
tion of the rip rap work on the hanks
of the river, this additional fund,
which we propose to raise to make
good our original Investment will
also be swept to waste.
It Is Important for the city of Au
gusts to get the full light on this
matter and It Is enormously Impor
tant that every | osHlble pressure and
Influence he exerted toward getting
government aid.
REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT SIT

Colorado Is suffering front the same

demands a world wide disturbance

man lives and treasure The name of
this trouble is business ownership of

supremacy oxer riotous Rockefellers
as well aa riotous miners; to restore
peace and order, and shore all, to re
open its courts and restore law and
Justice.”
WE ARE AT WAR WITH MEXICO.
President Wilson from being a
Peace President (indt himself a War
President. It malteia Ullla *hai con
gress may do In the way of debate
and of passing resolutions the fact
remains that the United States has
landed an armed force on Mexican
soil and tiat shot* have been ex
changed between United Slate* troops
and Mexican aoldiera and that Uvea
THE MOODS OF GENEVIEVE
From the moment I open my sleepy
eye* and stretch my arms out to thu
sun I realize that my Jluxurious Mood
hag oome to make a slave of me. It
is this lavish mood of me that ratines
loathing of all that Is meagre and
Impoverished. It Is this exasperating
mood that compels me to close my
eyes in ravlwhlim languor, and sign
Tor a dainty breakfast on a tray. It
is tills gorgeous mood that creates
pictures of white tile hath rooms and
French maids in waiting. Oh, Luxu
rious Mood, you are indeed fascinat
ing even though you are cruelly dis
appointing.
While I make my modest toilet the
Luxurious Mood hovers near, urging
me to forget my rigid economy and
yield to her Just once. At last, in
desperation, I pour all my perfume
Into my morning bath. Even this
reckless show of extravagance does
not seem to satisfy iho madcap whims
of the Luxurious Mood. She com
mands me to array myself in my best
clothes- even on this working day.
With all her lavish demands, I love
the Luxurious Mood. I revel at the
laughing reflection I catch in the mir
ror from the last backward glance I
almost loathe to open the door lest
this pifiii mood shall fly awny on tho
have boon lost and blood liiib been
shed on both sldoH.
The president'* policy linn been one
of "watchful waiting." trusting that
the Mexican people would setth* tliclr
own differences, and end their own
civil war, and determine among them
eelvee by forcq of arm* which faction
was to control the Mexican nation.
Hut with the taking of Vera Cruz,
it ia noi going to he pottalhie to lon
ger continue the policy of "watchful
waiting.” Our troops are In Mexico
anil there will he no way of getting
them out of Mexico with honor and
dignity until a settlement ia reach
ed coverng the entire Mexican situa
tlon
One thing acorns to he certain and
that Is that finally Huerta is to he
eliminated Thl# will be easy of ac
complishment if the eonatltutlonalieta
continue their fight agalnat the dicta
tor pressing down from the north
while the United States blocks the
IHirts and holds the coast cities.
It will only he a question of time
before Huerta's power crumbles ant
he Is forced to flee between these two
opposing forces
On the other hand, If Carranza and
Villa join the Huerta forces In war
against the United States, the task
Of this country become doubly diffi
cult But whatever the outcome, the
fact remains th»t this country Is en
gaged in war, is now at war, and what
the outcome will he no one can
proi hesy,
Eventually we are going to he forc
ed to take the Mexican capital to oust
Huerta, and to attempt to bring about
the pacification of that war-torn and
distracted tountry. There seems no
way out of It There has been no
way out of It from the very beginning
of the trouble, ns much as the presi
dent and the people of thl* country
have hoped and waited for a way out
of the problem to develop.
It la to be hoped that "watchful
waiting" and a neutral attitude may
still longer be maintained or be re
sumed by this government while the
forces In Mexico decide their own
civil war, but this hope Is getting
fainter as time goes on.
The fact Is that this country Is at
war with Mexico, actually at war,
however, we may phrase It. and
events have a way of happening
rapidly and unexpectedly under these
circumstances. *
American troops are in Mexico and
more are going Into Mexico. There
has ben fighting between United
States troops and Mexican soldiers
and there will be more fighting be
fore many hours pass by.
The promptness with which Presi
dent Wilson acted In ordering the
selture of Vera Ur\u and arm* de
signed for the Huerta tacllou while
congress debated the form of resel l
tlons. Indicates that whe-< the time
comes for tawing the Mexican capital,
and tnnuguratliig the forward move
ment to capture Huerta xml bring
about peace In Mexico that he will
act with the sante force and prompt
ness
That this step will eventually have
to be taken by this government seems
Inevitable.
CHAPTER TWELVE—THE LUXURIOUS MOOD.
morning breeze. From pant experi
ences I have learned that my Luxu
rious Mood Is a heartless tyrant, and
always leads me into trouble but I re
joice- madly over her return.
All day long my thoughts cling to
nestling furs, limousines and jewels
When my employer’s wife makes her
weekly call, I feel a sharp thrill of
envy as her velvet gown brushes me.
Why should she have everything her
ugly being demand*, and you have
nothing nothing?" cries my Luxu
rious Mood furiously in my ear
"Well, I wouludn't change places
with her," 1 truthfully reply, "for 1
have happiness, youth end ambition,
while she keeps none of these."
"Oh, it Isn't fair, that you should
Htint and starve your artistic being,
while your very soul cries out to as
sert itself," storms my Luxurious
Mood.
When the tiresome old clock turns
Its reluctant hands to five I hastily
depart from the environment that
seem* to sttffle me when the Luxu
rious Mood is dominant.
There Is something marvelous about
the way tills mood can direct my un
suspecting footsteps with such un
canny skill. Almost before I know It.
PERMANENT REGISTRATION
To the Editor of The Herald.
Hir: —lt in mrgpHteil that the
cltlcH of the state might save
themselves the useless expendi
ture of funds, and their citizens
the trouble of repeated registra
tion, by adopting the recently ef
fective state registration law,
whereunder the taxpayer upon
payment of his annual tax be
comes a registered voter.
In cities where there ts no prop
erty qualification required (as In
Augusta) this would add to the rev
enues of the city, as the person
would have to pay a tax. how
ever small, to have Ills name ap
pear legally on the registration
lists.
Our election machinery Is being
ere dually Improved. The secret
ballot, no election required when
no opposition to the announced
candidate develops, etc.. Many
persons are absent from cities
during registration time, now
losing their right of franchise.
Under the proposed change this
hardship would he obvlsted. l.et
the ’'Selectmen" think this over,
TAXPAYER.
This Is n valuable suggestion and
the city of Augusta would do well to
profit by It. The business of run
ning a city should be made so simple
that every cltlsen can do hts part with
a minimum of trouble.
Elaborations ami multiplications of
details and efforts have the effect of
discouraging Individual Interest and
Individual responsibility.
The political schemer never sleeps,
lie becomes more and more powerful,
as the everyday citizen becomes more
Hnd more listless and discouraged. In
arranging our systems of government
we should hear In mind the fact that
simplicity ts the greatest safeguard
of the common good.
There Is no excuse for spending a
dollar of public money that can be
saved and no excuse for making the
duties of clttxenshtp difficult.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AU.GUSTA, GA.
my best suede shoes are skipping up
a winding staircase carpeted In roee
velvet with spindle balusters of white.
A livered servant conducts me to
a table facing a rockery of ferns.
SoTt strains of music and wobbles of
feathered songsters issue from its
cool depth. Women gorgeously gown
ed, lazily sip their tea with half
closed eves, and men immaculate in
their attire, seem to stare and see
nothing. The very atmosphere is
seethed In afternoon languor. With
abandon, I adapt myself to the scene,
and ordered tea with an exquisite
thrill of happiness.
As I gaze about with interest, my
eyes suddenly meet those of another
I hastily lower my glance, and con
template the contents of my tea pot
with extraordinary care. It Is the
nmn who caused me to spill my books
—the Author! He is leaning forward
on the table, and staring His chin
is firm, and his eyes grave. A think
line of smoke like a blue ribbon
curls up from Ills neglected cigarette
Why is lie staring? Why does mv
bund shake? I cannot lift the slen
der tea eup without spilling its am
ber conten' . Oh, dear Luxurious
Mood you always did lead me into
trouble.

VILLA AND THE REPORTERS.
(From Brooklyn Ragle).
Five newspaper men assigned to the
federal army were among Villa's pris
oners of war at Torreon. They es
caped the fate of messmates, and had
to face no firing squad. There's
method in Villa's madness, and the
correspondents have found thirt when
the cutthroat I.,n't occupied with
crime he can joke with the best of
them. Many-sidedness Is an attribute
of genius.
“CONNIE" MACK AGAINST BOOZE
"Five years ago." said “Connie’
Mack, the great hasehall manager, to
a writer for McClure's, “I would take
a man who drank, provided I thought
I could handle him and gradually
break him of the habit. Now 1 would
n’t bother with a youngster who
drinks. That's my fixed policy.”
Isn’t that about as effective a tem
perance lesson as ever was preached?
Here la the manager of a club that
repeatedly has won world champion
ships. a wonderful judge of men and
an extraordinary executive, who holds
that It Isn't worth while to fool with
the youngster who drinks.
Booie. Mack says, slows a man
down and keeps him from thinking
as quickly as he ought to If he Is to
play on a winning team. So booze
must go. It Isn't a matter of moral
ity. It's a matter of efficiency.—Kan
