completest , sympathy between the
United States authorities and the
Mexican de facto government. 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.
The trouble has been with the Wilson
type of diplomacy.

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! " wo,;"
....... , . . .t .. . i Charge of unsteadiness to another for
Uismouiea points m ine vny sum-, ,mv,i: ,.,,,,,, ,1lln,m .,.,,,
clently to accommodate all emer
gency needs."
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. And If I hnvo my way
there are not going to bo any saloon
drug stores either."
