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 DOWN, Colorado Is following In foot steps of West Virginia. Property and life nre no longer snfegnnrded In the strike region Riot snd bloodshed rules, the courts are closed and mar tlal law Is declared. Colorado Is suffering front the same thing West Virginia suffered snd the same thing that has brought Mexico to the deplorable plight which now demands a world wide disturbance and sn Immense expenditure of hu man lives and treasure The name of this trouble is business ownership of government The Ibw-kefeller Inter est* control the situation In Colors do. so far as the use of the state ml lit la is concerned and so far ns the closing of the courts of law are con cerned Having determined to fight the or ganlxntlon of labor aniong Us miners the Rockefeller Interests have exiled sn entire community. The Rockefel let- armed forces have been Joined by armed forces of the state of Colorado Tito Rockefeller Interests have sus pended the civil law The Rockefel le r interests have literally declared war throughout their mining terri tory. When governments sre run In the interest* of special persons or classes, fermentation start* up. Holts and disorder recur and revolution follows revolution. While we are about the business of bringing order to Mexico It Is well for us to look about our own country and see where the same bllaht la show In* Itself Our l^itln-American neighbor* owe their Internal afflltv tlons to this cause and the affliction* will not be cured till the cause Is re moved. The New York World very truly saya: < •Republican government has ceased In the whole region of Colorado dom inate! by Mr Rockefeller's agents. It has been succeeded by Rockefeller government, which Is a* tragic as any that we have south of the Rio Grande. "The state of Colorado has gone out of business Its paramount duty la to rehabilitate itself, to assert Ha 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 HERALD’S NEWS SERVICE. The Herald, at a great expense, le rendering the public during theae troubloua tlmea a more frequent news service. Instead of one edi tion a day, The Herald la now printing a MORNING Edition, an AFTERNOON Edition, and a late NIGHT Edition. Arrangements are being perfect ed to deliver one or all of theae editions regularly to the homes and offices of the city, and that too at the regular pHce of the reg ular Home Edition, 13 cente a week.

The price of this extra earvlca delivered Is 13 cents a week for any of the editions desired. Phone 3036 and order one or more of theae editions, and keep up with the rapid progress of the ntwe of the war and of the world. 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. Vital Statistics DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, REPORT FOR THE WEEK END ING APRIL 25TH. 1914. Communicable Diseases. Disease White. Colored.

C. WILSON, Secretary. 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 sas City Star. Strengthens Weak and Tired Women ”1 was under a great strain nursing a relative through three months’ sick ness," writes Mrs. J. C.
