from many states where elec
itens were held last spriug,
iu municipalities or coun
ties, or both, come warnings to the
wets " They are shown uumer
lus small cities voting "dry" which
had been "wet." They are given
object lessons iu t.'e form of coun
ties taken out of the wet columus
and placed in the dry lists. They
are brought faca to face with
markod gains for the forces of jrro
hibition and eiiually heavy losses
•or the liquor interests in many
places where no change was made
i;: the conditions formerly existing,
i'he dry towns ia which tests have
seen made of the state cf public
sentiment have given increased ma
jorities against the liquor traffic,
as a rule. Iu places which remain
•*«*t trie margin for the saloons has
generally become smaller.
All this means that the liquor
.iteivsts must t> • extremely careful
if thiy would escape disaster. They
runst obey the law. They must
avoid any needless offeuse to pub
lic sentiment Th»-y must Kive
'h'»ir tireless and formidable op

i)k>ti:htio\ or fokksts
It must be a grave matter tiia:
tan distract the attention of the
French nation from tht fighting ;u
the trenches, even momentarily.
Few would imagine that trees could
liave a place in that category. Yet
.-•Jell is the case.
France has suddenly awakened
to the fact that some of its be;t
'orests have fallen before the mili
tary operations at the front. Those
.it Vitrimont and Champenoux have
• lisappt-ared and those at Meanux, in
;!ie Argonne district and near Arras
and Nancy, have been partly de
stroyed. Trees have been cut down
■ o afford ranges for artillery, foi
firewood, for the building of trench
supports and shelters, for roads and
••15 booty for the enemy. Almost as
l.'.any more have been razed or
:.:ade useless by frre and by the
steel projectiles from rifles and
cannon.
All this damage will be paid for
in money or territory if the allies
win in the war. But it takes near
ly a century to grow a big Tree.
And France being at. old country,
its people know how much its pro
ductiveness and its value as a place
of human habitation iu many other j
ways depend upon ttc presrvatiou of
rroper areas of forest.
Here is something for the people
of the United States to take note
of. They realize better than they
did a few years ago the suicidal
folly which has permitted the spotia
tion of their own forests. But they
are not fully aware of it yet and
the time is near at hand when the
limit of safety will be passed un
less a more rational policy is gen
erally understood and adopted.
France, pausing in what is al
most a life and death war to give
anxious heed to its forests, is an
object lesson that ought to make
ihe wasteful and heedless in Am
-rica take notice.
PRICKS IX MEXICO
Apologists for the series of
revolutions and civil wars that
have afflicted Mexico say that they
;iave been intended for the benefit i
of the poor. They are called move-'
meats to improve the lot of the com I
rnon people in a land of general |
poverty.
Trices for food in Monterev, one
of the mose prosperous cities in ;
Mexico, are a striking commentary I
upon such pleas for four years of
| widening disorder, lawlessness and 1
bloodshed. I'nder military orders
and the threat of severe punish
ment for disobedient e, merchants
!n Monterey have been forced to
charge no more then So cents a
peck for corn instead of $2. That
is they are obliged to take $3.20 a
bushel instead of $8 for the grain
which is more eaten in Mexico than
any other cereal, in like manner j
beans have been cut to 25 cents a j
euart, or at the rate of a bushel, f
Flour was sold at 60 cents a pound. I
The new arbitrary price is 30 cents a j
,->otind, or at the rate of $58.80 a '■
'arret. Sugar, a Mexican product. ■
must be sold at 27 cei.ts a pound tr
ite-ad of 40 cents.
These prices, of course, are in :
Mexican money which is steadily j
crowing more nearly worthless. It
is all that the roor can earn. It is ,
the currency in which they are paid
for their work.
What will a year or two more of
s-ivil war do for—or do to—the
poor neople of Mexico? Is it strange
that they turn bandits or join
armies of near bandits, in their
misery and their despair? And
•vhen, if ever, will the wretchedness
of the Mexican people drive home
the lesson that peace and order are j
absolutely vital to comfort, pros- j
perUy and national life and hope ■
for the future?—Cleveland Leader. ;
