I Thlsu wa$ to conserve ammunition. ijPew of the men 'lot di^ at oncc, but this did not ueiay the burial. I ..It is common report that Villa has ? killed scores of his own countrymer. ^just^ to see them fall. It is said th>t Ihe and his officers have forced mo^]; j marriages upon American women on- [ly to have these women disappear a few weeks later. Everybody beiiev«-» ithey \yere murdered. .The mavaudinj? iband of savages, such ^ as comprise the great mass of rebel acd federal armies; are fond of goings to the homes of foreign residents, tying the mt?n :to trees, assaulting the women in the presence of the helpli&ss men, and. jthen riding off, taking the women with them. Today hundreds of Mexicans are hurrying to Vera Cniz, hoping for succor under foreigrii flags, be cause they fear Villa and his avrtiy worse than death. And yet, as monstrous as the idea seems, the Washington government i; apparently forcing the United State."? into a virtual alliance with this sul- limated bea.st.' This alliance began back in the days when John Lind w:\s in Mexico. We are arrayed again.st Huerta, who i& charg'ed with partici- pation: in a political assassination, a •crime that all despots have been wont i to commit since the days of Herod. Vve are a friend of Villa, presumably because the men he has murdered and the women he has assaulted have been men and women with little po- [ litical influence. The contempt uhich Wa.«hi7i^ton has manifested for lluor- ta has beeti second only to the i'(in- tempt which Villa an cK.'Arrfu;v;;i ha’. e manife-sted for ihe Lhnted Statti; at all critical juncture??.

CaUfornia proposei^ to compel the Pullman Company to pay porters liv ing wages in that State. Vet, we sup pose, people would still j?o on paying 25 cents for an indifferent shine and a brush-off.—Greensboro News. **It was not a close decision. It was simply a deliberate steal,” says the Durham Herald. We shall have the president of the league discipline the Herald.—Greensboro News. Hickory Times-Mercury: “Col. Watt Shuford introduced the speaker. It was a gof.d introduction because it was shon,.” Not slamming the Colonel you understand.—Greensboro News. Mexico’s Most Exalted Cattle Thief, It seems that Villa went into busi ness when 14 years of age. His bus iness «vas that of catUe stealing. Villa fought against Diaz. He did so because Diaz had put a very large bid upon Villa*s outlawed head. As a reward for Viliams services Madero, that revered and lamented martyr, gave Villa a monopoly on the slaugh* ter house privilege of a certsiin city. Villa, acquiring cattle in the only way that he knew to acquire them, stole the livt; stock from the surrounding counti-y and his profit was always a hundred per cent. This made him rich. Any bandit is apt to have a fol lowing but a rich bandit 'a ir» the veiT nature of the case a power. It was no trouble at ail for \ ilia to acquire a following. His follower.s were interested in but two consider ations, i. e., the money that he paid them, and the promise of all avail able loot. Most of Mexico is unciv ilized. In an uncivilised country an army .';uch as is being led by Villa inevitably grows of its own momen tum. If it is not stopped by force of arms it will overrun Mexico, as the Hunnish hordes overran Rome, and for precisely the .««ime reason the savage longing for mere sava!?- ery. Hundreds of refugees and American studexits in Mexicp are telling the j same story, and n(uch of it is of such i a character a.s to rend the heart and ■ appall the mind. The followers of I Villa understand that when a town [falls they may loot and ravage. The larger their army the less cha.^'ce there is of a successful resistance anywhere. Villa has been compelled, of late months, to observe some ni the rules of civilized warfare, because the correspondents are about. It wa.s ! Villr., and enlist his good ofRce in removing Carranza’s displeasuj'e with our movements, and Carother.s talked the matter over with Villa's arms about his shoulders. They ate to gether, did Villa and Mr. BryanV? personal representative, and Caroth ers is now in Torreon, where he has gone to see how Villa's bandits look with arms brought from the United States, arms which Villa said last week might J>e furfKjd against our soldiers. Villa .^ay:^ war between himself and his good American friends is unlike ly, but if it comes he is ready to fight both the ^'powerful stranger, and the depraved compatriots.” Villa doubt less has .some educated foreigner on the payroll who wn*ote this, but tho idea is Villa's own. He will agree to no armistice, pending the deliber ations of the mediators. He thinks the United States should again lift the embargo on arms, for his special benefit, and as likely as not this will be done, in the general policy of min istering to his pleasure and profit. The trend of events render perti nent the inquiry: Is President Wilsoa, who has .said who shall not be Presi dent of Mexico, to say who shall be Preisdent by grrave of Villa? We have felt that the United States has a manifest duty to perform in riven and tom Mexico. This duty we can per form or let alone. But we submit that this duty does not lie in making the United States the chief inatra- ment in the permanent exaltation of Mexico's mos: exalted cattle thief. Greensboro News. A DNgwe t* Rli City. The RaMfijh News and Obsctrwr, sfkeaking of the affair in Greensboro in whicli some member or memkers of the Raleigh ball club we^ sui^>ect- ed of stealing sporting goods a hardware st^re, s&ys: **This affair needs prompt action, on the part of Pr«{}ideAt. Ellington and Manager Mack^ of the RaUi^h Club. If men on the RaleigK team are guilty- of theft th«y a>hould be dis charged at once. - It is an insul^ to this city to have thieves going over ithis State as .members of its ball team, wearing^ its uamc» and using its colors; Nor do our people care *c;o give , support to games in which the thieves are taking part. “Either some of the members of the Raleigh team are guilty of theft or they are not. It is stoted that Manager Mack paid the proprietor of the hardware store for the articles stolen. That was right, of course. But the next thing is to locate the men who stole the goods and get-rid of them. As it stands, each mem ber of the team is left under suspicioi and will be until action is taken. We have no doubt but that President El lington and Manager Mack will thor oughly probe this matter and get rid of any guilty men on the team^ and they should act without delay.” The Daily News carried the story of the affair as a news item, but be lieving that it was RaleifeVs funeral, had awaited a move from the Capi tal city before referring to it again. While Baleigh fans, or the owners of the Raleigh club, could under no cir cumstances be held responsible for the actions of members of the tlub, they could have been held responsible had they let the matter go without pro test. The baseball player in the average town is a more or less privileged character. But while allowances are made for him in some ways, on the other hand there is a standard that he must live up to because in a sense he represents the city. The city that sends out a ball team has a right to demand that the player.s conduct themselves in an orderly, honorable way or turn in their uniforms. The player who stole those aiticles did not merely commit petty larceny; in addition to that he disgraced his club, and through Ifiis club the city of Kaleigh. As a newspaper of that city the News and Observer, has a right to demand his detection and dis charge, and every honest player and every honest fan wMI back it up in that demand.—Creensboi*o News. • rCWJRCH IH^TORT HOCUTT MMfOBlAL BAPTIST CHDBC^ Aimmt Ajtmm aal Hall SI.
