WATSON AND MEXICO. ?en. Jim's E. Watson of Indian.! has become veo' much intrresUMl in having thr w;.- .lopartment cive the .nat-' reasons which caused th- rush cf American troops ncro.s th Mexican border 'ind in pursuit of thf Villa ollir!. It is the tim time f-n. Wat.-on has shown any kn inter-t in th1 military policies of th povrrnmrnt. Fom tnators apparently are critical of the nrmv eff.cer in command of the Am- rian force?. Iw-rmis-of his Matrment that th' wounding of tome Americans cn the north bide of the PJo (irande has cau.-ed him to take .lrastic meavurrs and disperse the Mexican forces und' r Villa. At the s-;,me time that Watson was asking fr information, it became known that supportt-rs of Villa h-td held a secret nveting in Washinq'on and hid determined t( get a i-petial messenger to Villa by ome means and to warn Villa pot to consider any program of raids on American towns along the border. It i3 reported to the New York Times" that the Villa supporters fear a policy of Villa raids may force further action from the American government. It appears that a considerable number of persons in Wahinton are interested in Villa. Thre have bern many encouraging articles prlntel about the latest acquisitions to the Vila forces; articles from much the same sources as the Indiana senator is said to look for hi inspiration. Watson as an ally cf the Mexican bandit, and as senatorial spokesman for the propagandists who are spreading antiCarranza dogma in the United States, presents an interesting combination. But of course, it makes little difference with the inti-admir.iitr?.tionist.s of tha Watson school, what the administration does in Mexico or anywhere elseThey rail at the government if it does not protect American life along th bordei, and then they rail if it does; it's dunned If you do, and it's damned If you don't." Were Tres't Wilson against a League of Nations, or for a separation of it from the German peace treaty, Wauon and every other anti-administration-ist. would be strong for the League and insist upon its incorporation with the peace treaty. Such is their tuper-partisan brilliancy.

PROHIBITION AND DRUGS. CongTess could do no better in legislating to tffect enforcement of the federal prohibition amendment. than to rt amend the Harrison anti-drusr law ns to include intoxicating liquors, stopping risht there. It would put liquor exactly where it belongs, in the same class with the other habit-forming drugs, and that Is all it ii. Besides a nation is inconsistent that prohibits the medical use of intoxicants and dot s not prohibit thf medical ik-c of all habit-forming drugs as well. The Harrison anti-drug: lav is supposed to prohiMt thf non-medical u?e of all habit-forming druus. I" or most of the deadly drufrs cöminR under its up-?rvi;ion, there .''.re recognized, as in alcohol, a number of perfectly legitimate medical vinos. Morphi:ie, the most common of the narcotics, properly used, by a physician, in multitudes of cases of deader, intolerable pain. Cocaine, whoso consumption in the United States comes second in the list, al.so has its proper uses, particularly in mediv.W and dental surgery. Third in volume of sales 's heroin, a derivative of opium, clo.-ely related to morphine, which is said by experts to be the most dangerous drug in the whole list. It is the mot common ' dope" used by victims who do r.ot use cocaine nr morphine. It seem. to bo especially attractive an1 especially devastating to boys and girls. A committee of experts, after a t.aorou-h investigation of the drue: situation throughout the United states made at the instance of the Unite i States treasury deparment, reports that :: its opinion The medical need of heroin i negligible compared with the evil fft'ects of its r.on-medical use. The committee therefore suggests "abso'.utrly prohibiting the manufacture, sale, ilistribution or administration of this mcit dangerous drug." This recommendation s;;rt!y deserves s"iio-.:s consideration by the present i or.gress. The tirug evil has been diminishing of late, according to the committee's hr.dir.gs: increase of ciruc ad diction was reported in only 14 cities and counties, with a decrease in 62 7. The Harrison anti-drug act. as amended.
is expected to have a wholesome effect in retrict- I
ir.g the tr.it!'.c to legitimate r.teds- There is general belief, howevrr. that alcoholic prohibition will result in a greater demand thin er for nucoiic dr-jg-. an ! a correspondir. stimulation of the underground trarT.c. If heroin can '. c dispens.-d with in legitimate medical practice, as the committee says, it would ur.do-btedly be a. Messing to prohibit it u!to'f th r.
green trees, raised In state nurseries. That is said to !e the large-t number ever planted in the state in a single 3 ear. According to Massachusetts' fctate forester. F. W. Rane, the most hopeful part of it all is that there is a general public interest !n forestry matters vhlch is steadily i creasing. The people sm to be awake to the value of forestry work and raper to have the reforestation rrri' d on. It may not be lor.g before they -tre setting out 10.OOC.000 trees a year instead of a rifth of that number. This is as it should he. Every state ouht to be p'.-tr.ting great tracts of trees annually. Private land owners, too. should have a keen interest in the work. Thero should be trees for beauty and shade as well as others for future commercial purposes. If the intelligent interest of the public continues to srrow ii a'.l parts of the country, the time will be nearer when we shall see shade trees along every highway instead of ugly signboards, when no town will be without its beautiful trees ana every family will have at least one lovely tree growing where children and adults alike may see and enjoy it.
FREE TRADE IN LITERATURE. Maybe American riction is not so hopeless, after all. An Englishman, writing to a New York newspaper, expresses a frank and admiring appreciation of this much-berated branch of American literature. "There Ij a igor and robustness about it." he says "which is refreshing after the inanities f some of our I5ritish novelists." lie pleads for an arrangement by which Englishmen in general could be given access to these inigorating novels. He has something in view beyond mere entertainment. England is too ignorant of American life, he says. Fiction is a good reflection of a nation's life. If the English people would read more American liction. they would know and appreciate America better, and would enjoy the process of instruction. It is true, of .course. And the thing works both ways: Americans, though more familiar with English literature than Englishmen arc with ours, are pretty provincial and ignorant as regards foreign literature in general. More reading of the past and present literary productions of England. France. Italy, Russia, etc., would bring a far better understanding of the nations with whom we must have so much to do hereafter. And with real understandir.g would com- real friendship. A general exchange of books and magazines among the world-powers would be a veritable peace league. If all nations read and appreciated each others' literature, there would be far less chance for the basic misunderstandings out of which wars arise.
PRICES ROAMIN OR ROMAN. Americans do not suffer alone. In fact, recent advices from abroad indicate that while in the United States we are doing as the Romans do. It is reported that a bottle of champacne costing $3 is retailed in Roman restaurants for $1S, and that one-iifth of a pound of meat constitutes a portion and is sold for $1. Each portion of Tsparagus dealt out to the hungry customer r.ets the inn-keeper $1 after all his overhead is met. It has been said that morals are a matter of geography, but this cannot be said of food prices. They .'ire the same everywhere. When we think of it, why are the uplifters. anyway? Are we not all living, perforce, the higher life?
Who said college education isn't practical? Columbia university announces that students in its summer school will receive instruction in "how to trim a hat, make a watch fob, care for the family stomach and dance, swim and march "
There's going to be another regular peace conference at Toledo, O., on the Fourth of July. Plenipotentiaries Willard and Dempsey will settle an important pugilistic problem. From all accounts, it will be a more orderly affair than the Paris bout.
Those two scientists who declare they discovered talking monkeys in the African jungle went unnecessarily far from home. We have a lot of them here in America.
British fishermen say they don't learn to swim "because that would prolong the agony of drowning." Most people learn to swim so there won't be any drowning.
A lot of people are sorry now that they sold those Liberty bonds so low.

Tili: SKVATCS RESPONSIBILITY. (Indianapolis Times.) The controversy over the separation of the League of Nations covenant from the terms of the peace treaty, which is now brought to an issue by the Knox resolution in the senate, has been tritely described by a member of the peace delegation in France, who said: It is not what the senate thinks should be done, but what the people of the United States think ought to be done to restore the world to a normal basis." The. senators who are now endeavoring so vigorously to tell the world what kind of a war settlement they will approve would do well to remember that their only function is to express the will of the people who elected them. The people of the United States want a League of Nations to enforce peace. They realize that the world has gone through a travail from which should come some lasting good. They believe that a League of Nations is the proper institution to insure that the great war shall not have been fought in vain. They will not long tolerate a senate at variance with this position. This peace delegate points out that the effect of the Knox resolution would be to nullify the work of the peace conference for the last six months and to plunge the world into a chaotic state even worse than it was at the signing of the armistice. This, he further declares, will mean the disruption of the commercial life of the United States, as well as the con-fu.-ion of the whole alliod nations. It is about time that the senate realized: 1 That its function is to re:iect the wishes of the people of the United States, who wish a League of Nations. - That a failure to agree to the principles embodied in the peace treaty will bring about another world's upheaval the responsibility for which will be an unbearable burden to the senate because the senate will never have the backing of the people in accepting that responsibility.
More Truth Than Poetry By James J. Monta$uz WINNERS AND LOSERS. Leander Jones bought Flivver Oil at something under two. He cleaned up seven thousand cash before the market blew. And all around the town his friends discussed in awe-struck tones The marvellous "investment" that enriched Leander Jones. But fifteen thousand other men who bought the stock at five And planned to build new houses when their profits should arrive Are walking, busted, up and down the city thoroughfares And no one knows how much they lost, and no one even cares. Philander Brown drew out the funds he'd planted in the bank And bought a little bunch of shares in Bilk 6c Bustem Tank, And when he made a tidy stack the news went up and down And everybody bought the stock and cheered Philander Brown. But twenty thousand luckless chaps today are sore and sad. They hocked their homes and jewelry and everything they had To purchase Bilk ex Bustem stock; then someone sprung the trap And no one knows how much they lost, and no one gives a rap I The chap that's struck a run of luck is sure of wide-spread fame The envious crowd will shout aloud the happy winner's name And every day with much display he's featured in the news. But not a word is ever heard about the lads that loscl

HEARD IX Till KDITOIUAL. KOOM. City editor "Here boy go out and get a story on how the people like the telephone service these days, then come back and writ. a story about it." Reporter "Have you any asbestos paper here in the oilice?" . God help a man when a woman weeps. We expect to have a great deal of sport shopping on $5 day next Thursday if we can find someone with $5 first. "These are great nights to sleep." said a friend to us the other day, and then we were forced to conclude our friend is rapidly getting old. Eph Dailey and Rill Dunkle have just returned from a camouflaged trip to Chicago. Next to new green onions, we think a telephone which don't work can stir up more general dissatisfaction than anything else. Tower of Dabei, City. Dear Bill: What was it you started to tell us about John Ellsworth's back? Am a
faithful reader of the Tower but have failed to glimpse just what ailed it. (His back not the Tower). Why not finish the story? A DEVOTEE. Bob Mclncrny wants to know if we have any idea of what we are going to write before we sit down to a typewriter to stamp it out, but that is not the saddest part of it there are a lot of people who don't know what we have written about after they have read it. Rut to return to Mr. Ellsworth's back for a moment, a late bulletin on this matter will be inserted in this column as soon as we get a little time to write it. Our private secretary resigned the other day and willed to us all the junk in her desk that she did not care for. Included in the collection was a valuable date stamp worth at least 13 cents, quite a number of rubber bands and a grab from one of Charley Schuell's auction thit looked like a wrist watch for a bull
dog. We turned over the rubber
bands to a young lady in the circulation department and she made the remarkable statement on receiving them: "Oh, I just love rubber bands."

A-N TAOONIZIN; Tili: l'ATIKNT. The r.urse's authority must exist, and on certain occasions will have to te exercised, but she must always be on the alert to evade antagonizing her patient. Force should never be used when persuasion will avail, not even with a delirious patient, and any unnecessary display of authority on the part of the nurse shows a lack of intelligence. At times the nurse will encounter prejudices against certain necessary things, as fresh air. such notions, of course, must not be yielded to. but on the other hand, they must not be allowed to give rise to endlets discussion, lie tactful. Cultivate the friendship of your patient, and be Kovemed by her preference on all unimportant matters, then when an occasion arises in which you must be firm, she will be less likely to accuse you of arbitrary decision. It is exceedingly difficult for the home nurse to care for members of her own familv. as her inclination invariably is to exercise too little or too much authority. When great affection is involved it is dilTicult for the home woman to insist on doing certain things when all the patient asks is to be "let alone." On the other hand, the very intensity of her desire to do vhat is best often will cause her to annoy and excite her patient over the performance of some trivial thing which would better
i be left vndone. As a rule whatever tends to keep the patient in an
excited condition is bad, whatever causes acquiescence and contentment is good. There are many cheerful, reasonable patients, for which we should be thanktul, and for those who tortured nerves cause suffering to others as well as to themselves we should have only pity. The home nurse, or nny nur.-e, should use every effort to secure for her patient repose of mind as well as body, and absence of all discussions which too often lead to antagonism. No nurse can get the best result from a patient who is antagonistic to her. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. , 1'. S. T. writes: What is the bect

Answer: Th? best treatment for frostbite is friction, at tirst using snow or ice. then ice water, and then water at ordinary temperature. Xo warmth should be applied to the part for some time.

at the wash woman's until her entire house is fumigated, which will be done by the health authorities. However, do not depend entirely upon fumigation; to be doubly sure hive them boiled for 20 minutes even after they have been fumigated.
Answer: The t: In? of camphor around the neck to prevent contracting a certain disease is one of the common beliefs that is nbsolutely without foundation- Camphor around a child's neck will not prevent her from getting the "flu."
