A MISTAKE

Last Monday lot of Madero's
followers made an assault on juarez.
They took advantage of the fact
that the federal troops would not
fire across the river towards El Paso,
to creep along the river bank to the
edge of the city and attack the out
posts. Madero opposed the advance
but could not control his men.
However, he kept back the main
body of his men and prevented any
reinforcements from going to the
assistance of the assaulters and they
were forced to retire under cover of
darkness.

PEACE IN MEXICO

The civil war that has ragged in
Mexico for some time should now
be at an end. Diaz the old patriot
and builder of the republic, has
agreed to resign his place as
President as soon as peace is
assured. This is all the insurgents
esked that has not been freely
granted.
We will now see If Mexico is
really capable of running a pure
Republican government in fact.
Diaz, from old age or something
else seems to have lost his former
military spirit and seemed unable
to cope with the rebellion.
He is noble old patriot and his
resignation is an act of patriot
ism and self sacrifice of which few
are capable. Disz probably did
the best thing for his country.
He has had all the honors his
country can bestow, and will be
recorded in history as one of
Mexlco's greatest heros and patriots.
Possibly Mexico is ready for a
more liberal and less despotic
government. >We hope SO az any
rate and desire to see peace and
prosperity prevail in our sister,
republic as it never has before.

THE SCHOOL, BOND ELECTION

Last Thursday was a busy day in
Chanute. Not in a trade line,
however. 1t was bond election day
aud many of the leading merchants
were out of their stores most of the
day, fighting valiantly for or
against the proposition to build a
high school on the Royster site.
The ladies of the city took a lively
interestln the election and hustled
among their neighbors and friends
to get them out to vote. A great
majority of the east side opposed
the bonds and a great majority of
the west side favored them.
The results were a majority of
I36 against. The result by wards
was as follows:

THE W.R IN MEXICO

AT present writing the biggest bat
tie of the Mexican revolution is be-
ing fought out with the utmost
vigor on both sides. The rebels
surrounded Juarez, the city just
across the river from El Paso and
attempted to take it by storm.
They succeeded In getting inside
the town but were met by a stub
born resistance by the garrison.
All day Tuesday the fight ragged
with the rebels apparently gaining
ground. The rebels threw dyna
mite bombs and fred several build
ings. The fight was hot and at
night each side rested ready for the
bloody work of the morrow
Ell Paso got in range some times
and rifle bullets whistled about the
city. Several people were struck
on the American side and a person
was really in danger in almost any
part of the city. The rebels also
stormed and took little town in
Lower California, part of the
Mexican force escaping to Cali
fornia territory. 1t now looks like
ii is war in earnest.

ORATOR|CAL CONTEST

The high school contest in orat-

A. Parsons, public spirited citizen
of Chanute, who contributes each
year SIoo in cash that is awarded to
the four best orators from the high

scholars may participate. The
awards were as follows:
1st prize, Victor Monninger $50. 90

WHITE POLITICS

has discovered suitable harmony
candidate for Governor of Kansas.
His candidate for governor is
Arthur Capper, of Topeka. Mr..
Capper is very suitable man and
a man on whom the Republicans OF
Kansan ought TO be able to harmon
ize. But here comes the rub. Will
liam Allen wants to make the plat
form again and wants to fill it up as
before with the imitation and refer
endum and all the rest of that tom
foolery with which Mr.. White is
bubbling over.
We earnestly believe in progress
iveness in politics as well as all oth-
er lines when progressiveness is bet
terment, but not in so called re
forms that are merely hobbies to
advance some mans personal am
bitions.
1t is high time for Kansas Re
publicans to begin to pull together.
The light seems to be dawning and
the cobwebs are being swept away
tIat have recently dimmed the vision
of Kansas Republicans.
We know of no man in the state
who would be more likely to harmon
ize Republicans than Mr.. Capper.
He is clean NAH and very like.
able man.
He has shown his ability as a
manager and builder of a great
business and seems in every way
we'll fitted to lead the Kansas Re-
publicans to an overwhelming vic
tory If he is not handicapped by
another of Bill Whites fool plat
forms.
