The assassination of the deposed pres
ident and vice president of the Re-
public of Mexico is crime which
might have been expected. The acting
president is subject to censure because
he did not have sense enough to pre-
vent the opportunity. He could have
removed the man in the daytime. He
could have kept the men where they
were. Our remarks are based on the
superstition that the acting president
did not want the men to be murdered
This theory may not be correct. He
may have desired just the thing that
happened. Any such treachery is COM
mon in the Latin American countries.
The American ambassador, Mr.. Will
son, appears to be filling the place with
splendid ability, and rightfully declined
to attend the dinner offered by De La
Barra, minister of foreign affairs. No
American official should accept court
estes from anybody in official life in
the city of Mexico until these assas-
sinations are explained.

Our betrayals in politics are numerous,

Our hypocrites and pretenders are

Obituary Of Mrs. Ward.

Again we are reminded that in the
midst of life we are in death" Some
three weeks ago we were made sad by
hearing of the serious illness of our
friend and neighbor, but now we are
sadder still. To say that we shall miss
her-this friend, this wife, this mother,
is but to speak with the greatest re-
serve. Seldom are our hearts more
grieved at the breaking of home cir
Gle, and our deepest sympathy goes out
to those who shall no more know this
mothers care. Surely our lives have
been made better by our associations
with one who was so patient and kind;
loving mother and wife, and a friend
loved by all who knew her.
Ida May Wilson was born in Benton
county, Mo-, April rs, 1878 and died at
her home in Guthrie county Feb. Is,
1918. In March 1889 she moved from
Missouri to Audubon county with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Wilson,
who still reside in Audubon. Here she
lived until March 20, 1899 when she
was united in marriage to L. j. Ward.
Since that time Mr.. and Mrs. Wand
have lived several years in Guthrie
county.
Besides husband, two daughters,
father and mother, five sisters and
two brothers, host of friends and
relatives are left to mourn her loss.
Truly, our hearts go out in deep
sympathy to those who feel the loss
most keenly. But only those who have
had a like experience can realize what
it means.
Funeral services were held at Bow
man Chapel Thursday morning at 1000
o'clock conducted by Rev. R. w.
Swick, of North Branch. Interment
was made in Arlington Heights ceme-

Audubon Party Visits Mexico.

Mr.. and Mrs. G.. M. Ross and his old
neighbor, H. N. Christensen, have re-
turned from six weeks visit in the
south. Mr.. Ross was a caller at our
Office last Saturday and informed us that
the party made trip into Mexico while
they were visiting at FL Paso, but Mr..
Ross assured us there was no fighting
the day they were there. At San
Autonia, Texas they met Nj. G. Griffith,
father of John Griffith, of Audubon,
and had pleasant visit with him.
Their destination was San Francisco.
The party stopped at various points of,
interest enroute home. Mr.. Ross was
greatly surprised to learn that the
United States had soldiers camped
every thirty or forty miles all the way
from FL Paso to San Francisco. In case
of Emergency Uncle Sam will be able to
rush sufficient number of soldiers
into Mexico to protect the American
interests.

TO Be, or Not to Be-"

A good deal of quiet work in in
fiuential quarters is being done to ex-
ecute the plan for great convention
to adjust the differences in the Re-
publican Party, and if possible, to win
back the Progressives. To which Sena-
tors Clapp and Poindexter retort that
they don't want to be won back, that
they are no longer Republicans, and
like their own brand new party better
than the old one. Senator Bristow and
Senator elect Norris, as well as Dixon
and a number of others, who are
among the great independent leaders,
have been throwing buckets of cold
water on the plan. Nevertheless, Sena-
tor Cummins is engaged with num-
Der of other gentlemen-so it is claimed
in getting things in shape, and next
month the plan will start to formulate.
Governor Hadley is an enthusiast for
the convention plan. In the Senate the
measures which Senator La Toilette
has been pushing, such as the physical
valuation of railroads, have received
the Republican o. K. The so-called
''standpatters" would like to swing in
behind La Toilette, if his measures
were not too severe. In this branch of
the Republican organization everyone
seems favorable to the convention plan.
If enough strength can be brought be-
hind the suggestion from middle.of- the
road politicians, there will be histori-
cal gathering in the middle west dur
ing the coming summer or fall.

BASKETBALL

Never before in the history of bas-

the game as during the past year.
Every available hall was fitted up
with baskets and the game prospered
Several teams had outdoor courts and
played in the open whenever the
weather was not too bad
Practically all the teams, with the
exception Of those organized by the

ball-and not few of these are
playing non-registered teams.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Any doubts

Of New York fight fans that Willie
Ritchie, lightweight champion is
worthy of rank with the best in the
Queensherry game are set at rest to-
day. as a result of the Californian's
ten-round battle last night with
Leach Cross. Ritchie won all the
way. He was never in danger. Cross
was outclassed from the bell.
In the first round Ritchie started
slow and the honor rested with the
East Side fighter. In the second
Ritchie pulled even or better. In the
third the champions famous right

from a knockout by the timely bell.

the New Yorker landed many a

Early in the fight Ritchie suffered
serious hurt that would have
meant quit to many a fighter Those
who saw the mill did not realize 1t
but when Ritchie rolled over Cross
bent back and landed with his own
back on the floor he was almost out
After the fight black bruise as big
as two hands showed at the base Of

Another thing that prevented

fighters wore.
"Ill never fight again with soft ban
dages.' said Ritchie to Harry Foley,
his manager, after the mill. MY hands
are so sore than l can hardly use
them"
Ritchie's only injuries after the mill

badly marked, both eyes being nearly
out of commission. Ritchie and Foley
will leave New York, probably on
