the swoop of a murderous marauder, fighting
with hla nock in a noose. The Carrania for
eminent has set a price on the head of this
man. and put him beyond the pale, but not out
of the reach of the law. His brain, addled by
the scenes of rapine and slaughter In which he
has reveled for years, conceived the Idea thai
the United atates is responsible for his position,
and he has boasted his purpose to carry terror
to this country.
It is not improbable that through this means
Villa seeks to bring about the long delayed In
tervention of the United States in Mexico, by
showing the Incapacity of Carranxa to establish
a stable and orderly government. It may de
elop that he has rendered the greatest possible
service to Carranxa, by securing the active help
of the United States In putting down the most
formidable armed force that yet defies the de
facto president of our neighbor republic. Many
years ago the United States army co-operated
with Mexican forces In suppressing Apache out
breaks, and this co-operation can again be made
effective.
It looks as if President Wilson now had the
Issue of the suppression of Villa put squarely

Going at It Eight.
The Associated Retailers of Omana have out
lined the way to go after the much needed new
Union Depot, if It is to be gone after right, and
have made the first move In that direction.
There Is Just one way to attain the goal, know
ing by previous experience that the railroads
fill not act of their own accord, and that is by
a concerted errort and united pressure ny an
the different business and civic organisations
concerned in the material growth of Omaha
and in maintaining its rank in the procession
of progressive cities.
The Associated Retailers went on record for
a new Union Depot three years (ago, perhaps
prematurely then, but Omaha's subsequent ex
pansion and Improvement bave now made the
new depot the next big thing in order. The
need of a modern and adequate terminal for
passenger travel, in and out of Omaha, has been
accentuated by the new hotels, new stores, new
banks, new office buildings, new business
blocks, by the systematic advertising of Omaha
aa a stop-over point by every test that could
possibly be applied.
If the other interested organizations will
Join with the retailers and keep everlastingly
at it, it will be only a question of time till the
railroads find it to their advantage to come
through.

Churchill's Warning; Fortentoni.
Colonel Winston Churchill, some time min
ister of the navy In his majesty's cabinet, has
left the trenches long enough to appear In Com
mons and sharply criticize the Balfour admlnls
tratlon of the navy. Answering the minister's
optimistic, outline of the situation. Colonel
Churchill bluntly reminds the British public
that unseen dapger awaits the empire at sea.
end that It must be well looked to that prepara
tion la adequate or disaster must follow. This
warning Is particularly portentous, as coming
from the one man who of all the ministry
showed capacity for action at the outset of the
war. It was Winston Churchill who defied
his colleagues In the matter of a constructive
program, and ordered the laying down of ships,
the building of which had been refused by Brit
ish pacifists. Ills action resulted In the navy
being ready when war broke out. Foresight
thus proven may now be at fault, but is worthy
serious attention.
Churchill's present views are shared In to a
large extent by disinterested observers. The
Impenetrable veil of eecrecy drawn by the Ger
mane over Kiel, Cuxhaven, Wllbelmshaven and
Helgoland must conceal something that Is of
vital concern to the British. Much of conjec
ture but nothing of fact la given concerning the
work that Is going ahead In theae great German
naval bases. In the other hand, the inaction of
the British channel fleet has been the source of
quite as much speculation among observers. If
Colonel Churchill Is not wholly adrift In hla
Judgment, the future course of the world's
greatest fighting fleet must toon be determined.

Governor Capper's Outburst
Governor Capper of Kansas haa stirred up
the animals by hla parade of the overshsdowlng
wealth of the Sunflower state, with the likeli
hood of concerted action on part of other west
ern governors to refute his Inflated claims. Just
why the greet states of the west should enter
upon a campaign of competitive bragging about
themselves passes understanding. The Kansas
people are welcome to any satisfaction they may
get out of It. Their habit of boasting Inordi
nately about everything that pertains to the state,
from prohibition to tornadoes. Is Inherent, a
characteristic of the primitive people of the
realm of the Jayhawker. Those who are more
advanced In the ways of civilisation are content
to let "a stranger's mouth praise" the achieve
ments of which they are proud. Nebraska mod
etly asserts that It has a place In the sun ahead
of both Iowa and Kansas. We rejoice In a de
velopment that neither of our neighbors ever
knew, but we do not keep the world awake at
nights shouting about it, nor do we deliberately
deceive ourselves by reckless exaggeration.
State advertising Is a good thing, properly ap
plied, but the truth will not stand for compara
tives and superlatives to the detriment of neighbors.
An Imposing perspective of the cost of a top
notch navy Is posted In Admiral Fletcher's fig
ures of 1.600,(K)0.000 for construction and
1760,000,000 annually for maintenance. The
magnificence of these round figures is suffi
cient to secure the consent of Navy league mem
bers to double taxation. The object Is worth
the sacrifice.
