His Indians must be good Indians and play only when and where he gave instructions-Tom had his way, so the morning game scheduled with the C. w. Young H. gers is off and Charley Carter is not sorry.

PEOPLES FORUM.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
In the communication published
in your Tuesdays edition of The
Citizen, from F. L. Andrews, presi-
dent of the Columbian Protective
Association of Binghamton, N. Y,
/ noticed the last paragraph of the
letter, reads as follows:
If any action is commenced, we
shall as we have in the past, carry
it to the highest courts, if neces-
sary to do So"
While the communication is quite
interesting, the paragraph referred
to, is not entirely clear. The only
cases brought against the Columbian
Protective Association, in our
courts, are the four cases now pend
ing, and if these are the cases re-
ferred to by Mr.. Andrews, it will
undoubtedly take a long time for
them to reach the highest court, as
they have been pending year and a
half, and have only passed through
Robert A. Smiths court, so far,
having been continued from one
term to another on the application
of John F. Scragg who represents
the Columbian Protective association
1t would be interesting to know at
this ratio, when either of the four
cases will reach the court of last
resort, particularly so, if the same
strenuous efforts are put forth by
Mr.. Scragg, attorney f6 the Column
bian, to keep them down, some place
among the lower courts. Besides
this, quite recently an item appear
ed in the paper, quoting Mr. Scragg,
as saying: That all policyholders of
the American Fraternal would be
satisfactorily taken care of before

SITUATION IN MEXICO
HUERTA WILL NOT YIELD.

New York, Nov. 20.-The Sun to-
day summarizes the Mexico situation
as follows:
Dispatches from Mexico city indi-
cate that Huerta is more determined
than ever to ignore the demands
made by the United States. He will
not resign the Presidency and both
his Cabinet and the new Mexican
Congress are expected to lend their
approval to his defiance.
The provisional Presidents latest
move is to accuse an American Off
cial, United States Consul-General
Hanna at Monterey, of aiding the
rebels.
President Wilson has definitely de-
cided to continue a do nothing pol
icy and to allow the Mexican situa-
ton to drift until it settles itself.
Fear was expressed in the capital
last night that this policy might not
be approved by the Powers most in
terested in Mexico. No actual assur-
ances of support have been received
from any of these Powers by the
Wilson Administration.
Dispatches from Nogales report
that William Bayard Hale's negotia-
tions with Gen. Carranza have been
complete failure. The Constitu-
tionalist leader is said to have asked
Hale to present credentials showing
that he represented President Will
son. The confidential agent being
unable to show any powers Carranza
prepared at once to leave for Her

FIREMAN STRUCK
BY STRAY BULLET.
Train Was Passing Through Deer
Section When Accident Occur
rod

The Liberty Register of Friday
last contained the following story:
Marshall Moore of Middletown, a
fireman employed on the Ontario &
Western, was injured in mysteri-
GUS manner while engaged at his
duties on the passenger train from
Summitville to Monticello on Sun
day afternoon.
The train was proceeding up the
mountain in the neighborhood of ST.
Joseph's, in the heart of the deer
country, when the engineer, Benja-
min st. John, noticed that steam was
failing and the train slowing up.
On arrival at st. Joseph's, he in
vestigated, and found Mr.. Moore ly-
ing unconscious on the floor of the
engine in front of the firebox and
bleeding from a wound in the head.
Investigation showed that the
wound had evidently been made by
a spent bullet, probably shot by
some hunter following deer
through that country, and had near
ly finished its course when it struck
Mr.. Moore.

THE COST OF HIGH LIVING.

Has anybody noticed any reduc-
ton in the cost of living from the
inauguration of Democratic policies
and of a reduced tariff? Business
has been slowed up by the tariff and
some industries have been hard hit
and have been compelled to reduce
their working forces. 1t is lit
tie harder to make living than 1t
was under Republican administra-
tions, but the cost of living is just
as high as ever and perhaps higher.
Eggs, about which the Democrats
used to illuminate at great length,
are higher than ever before. We are
importing a good many of them, but
the foreigner and the importer get
all the benefits,-the consumer pays
as much as ever.
Apparently the same thing is true
of many other things on which the
tariff has been removed or reduced.
The foreign producers or sellers have
simply put up their prices enough to
cover or nearly cover the former du-
ty. Where they haven't quite cover
ed the reduction the slight difference
is absorbed by wholesalers or retail
ers in this country. In the case of
lumber we understand the Canadians
have raised their prices to fully COW
er the reduction.
The results, therefore, of the great
Democratic policy of tariff reduction
has been to hand to foreigners as ex-
ira profits what formerly went into
the treasury of the United States as
duties, and to make up the deficiency
created in the revenues we have lev
led upon ourselves an onerous half
baked income tax which nobody
knows how to pay and which has
caused endless confusion.
The Democratic Party was pledged
to reduce the cost of living without
disturbing business. 1t has disturb
ed business without reducing the cost
of living, and we can all cheer up, for
in all probability "the worst is yet to
come. "-Poughkeepsie Eagle.
