Villa might get into cable communication with Agui

the latter, and is now embarking on a campaign to the
undoing of the former.
A Chicago auflTragiat, who is suing her husband for di
vorce, scorns the idea of asking alimony, and ia quoted
as saying "Alimony belongs to the dark ages." It would
be well if he could understand that divorce also is of
(he dark ages.
Our friend, Asa Biggs, who a few short weeks ago
presided over the columns of the esteemed Greenville Re
flector, Is now with the, Greensboro Record, having gone
Aere from hia more recent place with the Cape Few
News, to take a position on the editorial staff of the
Gate City's afternoon daily, made vacant by the resigna
tion of Mr Capus Waynick, who, in turn, goea with the

Waynick eucceas and pleasant association in their new

AGREEMENT WITH MEXICO. i
The reciprocal agreement between the United States
and It he do facta government' of Mexico, whereby either
may send armed forces Into the other's territory on puni
tive expedition! in eearch of outlaws who endeavor to
escape across the international boundary, is a most sat
isfactory and reasonable solution of ithe problems that
promised to develop as an outcome of the action of this
country in following a "hot trail" after the ViHa"deaper
i adoes. -
It waa at the request of Carranza (that amebian agree
ment waa made; his request for privilege to enter United
States territory having been received Saturday, and the
unofficial opinions throughout the country have been that
President Wilson fhould grant the request
The agreement insures success and quicker success to
the work of eliminating Villa; it-moans that not only will
the forces of the United States not have open or passive
opposition from the Carranza forces and sympathizers,
but that their active co-operation miy be expected in
the running down of the outlaws.
The agreement ia highly satisfactory, and is but an
other evidence of Mr. Wilson'a sincerity in preserving the
peace. .

THE FIGHT NOT WON, BUT JUST BEGUN
' Our esteemed and worthy friend, The Richmond Vir
ginian, which has waged such a vigorous and auccessful
fight for the cause of temperance in ithe Old Dominion,
is rejoicing that the last legislative enactment, by which
it is hoped that the liquor evil will be eliminated, has
been signed by the Governor. The Virginian eays: "At
6;10 o'clock, Friday, March 10, 1916. the work waa com
pleted." Those States which have had experience could
toll the Virginian that the work ia not completed, but
that the fight it really just begun. Virginia, like all her
sister States, will find out very quickly that the simple
putting on the atatute books of laws prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of the stuff la but the first step,
and that the difficulties of enforcing them are multitudi
nous. The iiquorites have the means for employing
shrewd strategists, and they evade the laws on every
hand. Virginia will find, at hat North Carolina, that the
work eentence la the, great panacea for law violation; a
few "high-brows" and men of sneana, detected in illicit
selling and aiding and abetting in the aame, put on the
roads, does much to bring the prohibition atatutes into
their own at regards proper respect frbm the outlaw
class.

"DOG FALL" STILL UNBROKEN.
After more than a year In which to catch the "second
breath" and after having run the steam-roller operated by
Von Mackenzen ruthlessly over Serbia, Poland, Monte
negro, and practically all other comers, the great Ger
man machine finds itself up against a solid wall through
which it seems impossible to break in its big second
drive for Paria. The assaults upon Verdun which are
now entering their fourth week of unbroken vigor and
force, have been made without regard for human life.
Regiment after regiment of German soldiers have been
hurled in the mouths of the terrible French fire, and it
is estimated that more than 200,000 men have fallen on
the German side alone, to aay nothing of the terrible
carnage that has taken place in the French lines.
In the outset of the great conflict involving practical
ly all Europe, The Free Press shared the opinion of
other observers, that the day for a decisive victory for
either aide was most remote; the resources of each were
too great, and it war the view of this paper that the
war would upset ithe affairs of the world for years, unless
some mediator stepped in and called a halt That has
become more manifest as the days have passed; Germany
has made some signal advances in different sections of
the war zone, but It has been evident that there waa a
stopping place for these advances, even while they were
in progress, and that the drivea would be checked before
any really vulnerable point of the principal enemies
could be touched. Military critics now give it as their
opinion that the lines of the Allies and Germans facing
each other in the western arena are impregnable, and
that it is impossible for either side to bring enough pres
sure to break through the lines of the other. In othes
words, the great slaughter that is now going about Ver
dun ia to no avail; no appreciable advantage will be
gained.
, The "dog fall" must be broken by the power of arbitra
tion and not the sword.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
UNCLE JOE TALKS ABOUT HIMSELF.
Winston-Salem Journal: "I am famous," said Uncle
Joe Cannon at a press dinner recently," as a story teller
and a man of great profanity. . As a matter of fact, I am
not profane, and I never told a clever ttory in my life."
The former Speaker said hia reputation as a story teller
grew up in this way: Some yeart ago he told the flews
paper boys at a iGrkliron dinner that if they ever heard a
clever etory to go ahead and print it and give him credit
for it The result ia he has seen scores of anecdotes at
tributed to him which he never before heard of We read
from a Washington dispatch quoting Mr. Cannon:
"And I am not profane. Once whan I was speaker,
two ministers visited me in the quarters of the Speaker.
When I was backed up against the wall, one of them in
quired point blank: Mr. Cannon, why are you so pro
fane V I was dumfounded, but (rallying my forces I de
nied the soft impeachment.
" 'Now, parson, I said, 'when I was a little boy I plow
ed in bare feet. Sometimes the plow would break great
briars, and the angry ends would fly back with a ven
geance against my shins It Is my opinion that a boy
Is not worth a dam who, under those circumstances, would
not exclaim: 'Dam it!'
"Uncle Joe never publicly apologized for any of his
wickedness, political or otherwise. The Montgomery Ad
vertiser, in discussing Uncle Joe in this connection, thinks j
that ordinarily a man would long ago have repudiated
the repeated statements that he cussed like a sailor, pro
vided, of course, such a man were innocent But Mr. Can
non never dtmied (that he was profane while his reputa
tion was growing. Now, that he is old and hasn't bu:
about forty years more to live, he tells us that it is all a
mistake, that he doesn't cuss.
"Mr. Cannon has been a rock-ribbed high tariff Repub
lican all the time. The insurgent movement in Conjrreas
back in 1909, did not move him, except to disgust He
was never ewept off hie feet by the wave which grew in
fury, albeit he was swept out of office in 1912 an.1 swept
back in again two years later. He is the same o!d Joe,
unreconstructed and a never-ending delight.
