Harper's Weekly baa tlifs on the Mexican auhjeci: A man who travel* constantly through the Went said to ns the other dgy; *'l llnd just two classes that oil- j .Tact to Wllson'a Mexican policy. Uue 1 is thu liolitlclans, who always disap prove of what the other party does. The Other consists of those to whom property ia the most altered idea in tne world." The second class is nu- \ morons. Its horror is genuine over the disorder of Villa and Ills disre gard for certain "rights,” a Is, in tact, willing lo havo tlie Mexicans conquer tno property division they need ns the mans tor all progress, provided this conquest can bo niada 44 about any departure from decorum. Tho Now York World, discussing tdr Arthur Conon Doyle's eplth - ’, "Idealist" aim-lied lo the president, .I pro pus of las attitude <>n the Mexican uifalrs, reflects that the accusation has been made before. Mr Wilson admitted the truth ol It when he said recently that he had a passion not for power but lor justice. “Opposed to greet wrongs,” says the World, "there must be great ideals of right. Thu one true and enduring thing in connection with the Mexican situation, to which Sir Arthur refers, Is President Wilson s Ideal of a nation relieved of tyranny ami bloodshed and blessed with peace and justice. Everything else that he see there, the "trouble" of carnage and oppression, will pass away, but the ideal will some day become the reality. IT 18 HIGH TIME THAT AUGUSTA ADOPTED THE COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT. it seems to be ftlrly understood and it la to bo generally hoped that for the future Augusta It going to bs spared the fierce, factional, and per sonal political fights that the city has indulged In. in other words. Augusta la busy, Augusta it growing. Augua ta ha* other things to Interest Its at tention than political fights which are purely pereonal and factional fights It ts high time that Auguata adopt ed the commission form of govern ment si a business matter, as some thing that will help to do the city's work better for tho future, as »om«- tblng that will help to build up the vity, and lo got better reeulta for all the people of the city. Al different time* according to po litical and personal inclinations, prac tically every voter of Augusta has at one time or tue other, voted In favor of commission government for Align*- ta. Some few clttseqs have voted for commission government both tlniei this Issue was before (lie people. What was true In the long drawn out fight to secure a board of com missioners for (he county seenta to 1.0 true In tho fight to secure s com mission charter for Augusta. It 1* taker, up first by one side and thru by the other, ami finally the long fight la wot. That this Is finally go ing tty be the case with commission •.overnmer.t foe Auguata seems Inevi table The fight is eventually going |o he won. In tho meantime, tvliv unit until the factions switch again, nnd commission government for Au gusta becomes again a political Issuo. Why not make It ns It la a business matter for the best Interests of all Auguata. I-et's get the present legislature to pass a commission government char ter for Augusta tvlth a referendum clause, and let the voters <vf Augusta finally accept or reject the commission Idea for the future government of this city. Such a bill was blocked In the legislature last year. It ought to have passed. 1 -et us ask the legislature to give Auguata a chance to accept or reject a commission charter. Athens and other Georgia cities are going to do thla There la no reason ivhy Augusta should not do the same This doesn’t forte commission gov ernment on Augusta hut 1t gives lie 1 4-cple of Augusta a chance to say fi nally whether or not they want ccm •siaslon government. feLEEmW Ital m THE SLEEPY GNOMES Once upon a time the leader of the Onomes said: "It Is getting warm and these softs we are wear ing are too heavy, so we must all have new suits made. I have sent word to our tailors and they will he here tomorrow to take our measure. Everyone must bn on time for It takes them all day, working as fast as they can." Several of them looked rather gloomy as they had planned to go fishing early the next morning. At laid one of them said: "I tell you what W'e will do. Let us all go down near the big oak and sleep there all night, then we will he the first ones to see about our suits and perhaps we won’t lose our fishing trip after all.” s They thought this a fine plan and off they gtarted down to tho hlg oak. It was bright moon light, arid they chatted and told stories for a long time. When they did go to sleep It was nearly light ami almost lime for them to get up, but they know that. The others ate breakfast and when It waa j;lrno went to meet the tailors. Sumo one missed iic ones who went to the oak and went baek to look for them but they were no tvhere to be found and so they had to go without them. The tailors were as busy as they could be and It was nearly time lor th/m to pack up and go home. Home of the Onomes ran again to are If the missing ones could he found and it was all confusion because they could not. The fishermen Gnomes slept and slept and not one woke up until Just us the sun was going to set It flashed a beam in the eyes of one and I hat woke him up. He soon found out that It was nearly [lark and he woke tho others. They ran as hard as they could and were just in time to get their summer suits. "Well,” said one, “we lost our fishing and almost lost our new suit:." "Yea," said another, "and wouldn’t u have been awful if we had lo wear our winter suits all summer." Ho they decided that they would not try to he smart again for In stead of being first they almost got left. INDIFFERENT MR CHURCHILL. (From "Anecdotes of the Hour," pub lished by the Heart International Library Company). Winston Churchill, the eminent pol itician and author, once had to take into dinner a young lady who hail very decided political views, which were In direct opposition to those of her partner. Mr. Churchill had Just grown what he considered a very handsome mustache, the appearance of which seemed still further to in cense the young lady. "Mr ( nurchlTl," said the young lady, '"I care neither for your politics nor your mustache." ' Don’t distress yourself, mv dear young lady, 1 beg of you,” returned Mr. Churchill; “you are not llkoly to come In contact with either.” LUXURIES OF THE ZAMBESI EXPRESS line may now ride to Victoria Kalis from Cape Town without change.

Hero It Is. Now hurry, and the next ’time remember to hang up your cap when you come in." Billy Pig took the pot of butter and hurried down the road toward Farmer Brown's. "Hello. Billy Pig,” called the little Brown Pigs when they saw him, but they did not go far from their break-, fast, for they, too, were fond of new potatoes. "Hurry,” they called, and Billy Pig did hurry.

But a trap won’t work unless it is baited properly. Experts say that, the very best lure for the blue bottle Tly, the one, by the way, that car ries the germ of the deadly in fantile paralysis, is a fish head, but other kinds of meat will do. Market men say ripe bananas make a splendid bait. House flies are partial to such dainties as sour beer or sweetened vine gar. The idea is to put something in the trap that will draw the flies to it.
