Friday. December 5 . iqiV
The Navy has been licked by
the Army. It is to be expected
that foot soldiers can get over
ground more easily and effective
ly than "plank walkers.
\ '
Owing to the advanced prices
#f everything, this will be the
*loexpensive Christmas the
cot: ntry has ever seen. It will
be well to take this fact intocon
iideration before making pur
chases for the season. There
has always been too much useless
giving of presents. Love and
tenderness for those whose hearts
are saddened by misfortune are
greater gifts than any money can
buy, and will bring larger returns
to the giver. Help the )x>or and
needy and make the home glad
with joy —then the blessed Christ
mas season will indeed be as it
should.
Barbarism in Mexico
No one will doubt that Sher
man's estimate of war was and
is true today. Since the world
began there has been bloodshed
a thing inconsistent with a race
. which was made j ust a littPe lower
than the angels, still there is
.... animosity existing in the human
breast and brother wars against
brother. But with the advance
of civilization, warfare has be
come more humane (if that para
doxical statement can be clearly
understood), for every inventiort
for the care and protection of the
wounded ahd the capture has been
used to ameliorate the dreadful
scourge of blood-shedding. Yet
it is stated that in this 20th., cen
tury on the Western Hemisphere,
our own blessed land,, men have
gone back to days of ancient war
fare when prisoners were execut
ed because they remained true to
their cause. The rebel leaders in
Mexico have shot prisoners, and
the world has looked on.
The people of the United States
have approved the stand which
President Wilson has taken on
the civil war irv Mexico, It has
been "hands off" with other
nations, and we have waited pa
tiently for a peaceful settlement
of affairs across the Rio Grande.
The United States is the guardian
of all peoples in the Western
world, and yet we are permitting
barbarism to go unmolested with
in a few miles of our border.
Something should be done to
check the murders of the inhuman
Villa and his officers. These out
rages should inflame the world
and armed intervention, if nec
cessary, be used to stop the mur
der of brave men like Gen. Jaurez
and others.
Country Dance
\J The largest crowd that ever
' 'attended a dance here, was seen
last night at the Masonic Hall.
People all over the country came
and from neighboringjxjwns, and
the town people were present to
help, them enjoy the evening.
Quadrilles were danced until a
late hour, then the modern dances
were enjoyed for a while. Two
sets of musicians furnished the
music. At 11:30 ice cream was
served the entire crond. It was
' A most delightful occasion, and
Wiiliamston was pleased to have
so many visitors. . .
