In fact, there has been no time when Carranza was looking with any great degree of favor upon the operations as directed by Mr. Wilson. It was not so very long ago that Carranza was blacklisted by the Wilson admin istration, and Villa was a pretty good . sort of a fellow. In fact. Villa was good enough to be president of the republic of Mexico, which was great in possibilities, and Carranza has the Mexican quality of being slow to for get That little war down in Vera Cruz still leaves a tad taste In his mouth. Now he has got the United States soldiers stretched out over a 400-mile line In his own country, with his bushwhacking followers strate getically placed to do the most dam age In the shortest possible time should his disposition point that way, and Uncle Sam finds his position a most UckllPh one. There has been nothing; wrong with the way the sol diers have made progress In their chase after Villa, and had their been j real co-operation between the Ameri-' cans and the Carranzlstas, Villa: would no doubt have been tucked away beneath the sod before now.

L. M. MITCHELL. Letterheads at tho Courier. Seattle, April 13. Mayor Gill, of Seattle, the largest dry city in the country, today proposed in a remark able Interview that the city of Seattle go Into the saloon business. The mayor offered his ( startling suggestion as the" only effective means of eliminating the Illicit sale of liquor by drug stores. "I suggest," Mayor Gill said, "that tho next session of the legislature be asked to enact a law permitting cities of the first class to take charge of the sale of whiskey by physlclsns' prescription. Druggists should hei fnrhlririAn An noil If at alt. ThA rttV should establish stations at widely!

Such a law, the mayor declares, would quickly put out of business drug stores which have sprung up for the solo purpose of harvesting a fat profit off whlBkey drinkers. Persons who want liquor would be compelled to get It by the method provided .In tho prohibition law, through permits Issued ly the, county auditor. The mayor told of the frequent in quiries he received as to Information as to how the prohibition law la working out In this city and state. "I tell the people." he said, "that what I can see with my own eyes that prohibition has been a wonder ful thing for Seattle. I know men who now keep their families clothed and their grocery bills pnld who In the days of tho saloon never had a nickel. I know that times are hot ter. "Thero may bo some soaks who still go Into the ibnck room of drug stores and guzzle booze,- bnt your boy and my boy are not doing It. There arc no saloons for them to walk Into.
