On Friday evening, December 9Th, at
the Presbyterian church, was held the
last regular 1913 meeting Of the Indi-
ana Society. After a pleasing intro

r H. Reed.
Roll call, response with Riley quo
tation.

Fire Saturday Niuht.

A barn back of the corner of Janeaux
and Sixth avenue caught fire Saturday
evening and. owing to the highly in
fiamable nature of the old structure,
was soon a mass of flames. The fire-
men soon had two streams playing on
the blaze and succeeded in preventing
the flames from spreading to the frame
houses near by. The barn was owned
by b. e. Stack and was occupied by
Mr.. Marshall, who early in the day
took all his horses and harness out
to go to Alaska bench. It Is not known
how the blaze originated.

tribunal CHOSEN by the parties be.
fore either nation determines its
course of action.
Cloud Over Mexico.
There is only one possible standard
by which to determine controversies
between the United States and other
nations, and that is compounded of
these two elements: Our own honor
and our obligations to the peace of the
world. A test so compounded ought
easily to be made to govern both the
establishment of new treaty obliga-
tions and the Interpretation of those
already assumed.
There is but one cloud upon our
horizon. That has shown itself to the
south of us, and hangs over Mexico.
There can be no certain prospect of
peace In America until General Huerta
has surrendered his usurped authority
in Mexico; until it is understood on
all hands, indeed, that such pretended
governments will not be countenanced
or dealt with by the government of
the United States. We are the friends
of constitutional government in Amer
lea; we are more than it's friends, we
are it's champions; because in no other
way can our neighbors, to whom we
would wish in every way to make
proof of our friendship, work out their
own development in peace and liberty.
Mexico has no government. The at
tempt to maintain one at the City of
Mexico has broken down, and a mere
military despotism has been set up
which has hardly more than the SEM
blance of national authority. 1t origi-
mated In the usurpation by victoriano
Huerta, who, after a brief attempt to
play the part of constitutional presi-
dent, has at last cast aside even the
pretense of legal right and declared
himself dictator. AS a consequence, a
condition of affairs now exists in Mex
leo which has made it doubtful wheth-
er even the most elementary and
fundamental rights either of her own
people or of the citizens of other coun-
tries resident within her territory can
long be successfully safeguarded, and
which threatens, If long continued, to
imperil the interests Of peace, order
and tolerable life in the lands imme-
diately to the south Of US. Even II
the usurper had succeeded in his pur-
poses, In despite Of the constitution ot
the republic and the rights of its peo-
pie, he would have set up nothing but
a precarious and hateful power, which
could have lasted but little while, |
