That marine ought to get a job on the yellow journals right away. Such noble imagination is simply wasted in mere sea sol- diering.

Young, of Kentucky, commander of the United Confede- |rate Veterang was a deserved com- pliment to a mighty fine old sol- dier and 2 mighty fine American citizen. He indulges in no florig or bombastic oratory, but he is as clear and forceful in defending the case lof the Confederate veteran in these days of peace as he wag courageous in war, and as the duties of a com- mander lie largely in that direction, the choice of his comrades in lecting him was a very happy one Ile ig the typical Confederate vete- se- ran - 0 From the Hearst war fiction fac- tory or some other headquarters of fairy stories comes the varn that General Villa is a mulatto who deserteq from one of the negro cavalry regiments in the United States army, jumped to Mexico, started in as a bandit anq made his way to hig present eminence as a blown-in-the-hottle Mexican rebel general. If Villa this story and catches the fellow that started it he would be strongly tempteq to introduce him to his celebrated fir- ing squad tha( does business with a stone wall for a background. Villa is as Mexican ag they make them. ridiculous hears PAESE L SRS THE HEART OF THE MEXICAN PROBLEM The Pensacola Journal says that the American flag will floa over Mexico for at least a decade anq it supports that proposition in a very able leading article. Perhaps the Journal is right but we don't like to think so, for we are almost fonqg of peace as our venerable friend, Andrew Carnegie. The Mexicans are as proud as they are ignorant, and if we took possession of their capital with a view to staying there until their government was fully re-organized as fied, their fierce hostility against us woulq increase rather than dimin- ish ang we woulg probably have to stay there forever. But the Jour- nal getg to the heart of the prob- lem when it says: “The first thing necessary to ef- fect permanent peace in Mexico is to take ahsolute possession of the coun- try, enforce the authorify of the American government, let the Mex- icans arrange for a proper division Carranza hag the game |[of the land among the people, etfecti §n hig hands ang he is wise to keep |the establishment of a public school ' system, encourage the building of will reverse his judgment.
