"Business .is reviving In the tin plate mills throughout the country." -News Item. In other wordB, pic season Is coming. While they are declaring neutral territory in Mexico, why not neutra lize all territory now Intervening be tween the various belligerent chiefs? It's about Mme for candidates for j public office to hear old vox popull .Calling ou them to "make the sacri fice."

Perhaps China would like to take a Armer stand with Japan, but is ashamed to. uso harsh measures to ward a nation so much smaller than herself. At Ute ?resent rate, England will soon be able to boast that she has the gt ?ateat number ot vesBeU on the bed of the ocean as well as on Ita sur face. Abe Martin says that "quite a lot of folks who are talkhV hard times wouldn't have 'em any other way fer Ut' next two years."

The prohibitionists have decided that tho limo hus come to leave oft merely asking and to demand what they want. The success with which dry movement has mot, in practl the States except Ohio and i'onila, has convinced the church i.o- make up the majority of dry fo.cca, that they can have ir way completely if they abso lutely instsf noon It Therefore thoy e. determined to euler the next nial conventions witl? tba Dent? le, Republican and Progressive idontinl candidates absolutely pledged to be unequivocally for pro fciblUon.

Thc fud has transpired that au ef fective organization already has been completed to look after the election of delegates to the conventions. Thc drys in all three parties are combin ing to send enough delegates, they say, to see that only a prohibition I nt is 00 guard at the White House. Then (hey will turu their attention to the senators und representatives. WIME IDAHO.

That prohibtlon reduces the tax rate ls shown by thu situation in Itockford, Illinois. Last year the tax rate was lower than that of uny other city In the State of the same size, ex cept Jacksonville, also a dry city. This year it IB still lower-despite the tact that Rockford spent moro in pub lic Improvements in 1914 than in any previous year. When taxable prop erty increases as it docs under pro hibition regime, the tax rate natural ly decreases. HO RSI;-I'LA Y AT WEDDINGS. The village cut-up IB In for moro or less of a squelching In the "con tiguous ultimately," as Billy Nye might have said. Good taste IB overriding horseplay at weddings and tho idiot liumorlst ls lying awake nights trying to think of new ways to embarass thc 191C crop of newlyweds may as well turn over and go to Bleep. From present Indications his ser sices will not be needed. There ls a strong sentiment against him and his tribe. Nearly all pf tthe womans' papers are beginning to publish articles nf Interest to the June brides and all unite In advising against horae-play after the ceremony. It is admitted that the bride and groom ought to expect a little- rice throwing-ought in fact to enjoy lt for thc spirit it manifests. But the decoration of luggage with white favors and ridiculous placards, the tying of cowbells to the rear axle of the cab or auto, the "rilling, steal ing or substitution of articles in thc luggage and all the other fool Btunts of the professional wedding humorist are relegated to the limbo of "old stuff."
