OUR QUARREL NOT
 WITH MEXICAN PEOPLE

The following is the full text of President Wilson's statement commenting on the Carranza note. says the Gazette of the 23rd.
 T wish to relterate with the greatest earnestness the desire and intention Of this government to respect in every possible way the sovereignty and independ- ence of the people of Mexico,
 ''The feeling and intention of this government in this matter are not based on politics; they go much deeper than that. They are based on a genuine friend ship for the Mexican people and a profound interest in the re- establishment of a constitutional system of government.
 Whatever unhappy circum- stances may arise, this object will be held steadily in view and pursued with consistent purpose so far as this government is con- cerned.
 But we are dealing with facts. Whatever. however and wherever the dignity of the United States IS flounted, the rights of her citizens invaded or her influence rebuffed while it has the right to exercise it, this government must deal with those actually in control.
 We are now dealing with Huerta in the territory he con- trols; we are dealing, moreover, only with those whom he com mands and whom may come to his support. With these we must deal, although they do not law fully represent the people of Mexico.
 We rejoice that thls quarrel is not with the Mexican people. We do not desire to dictate as to their affairs, but we must enter our rightful demands on those whom the existing authorities at the place where we do act for the time being represent. 1"
 After issuing the statement de- claring that action in Mexico would be directed solely against Huerta, President Wilson can celled all routine engagements for the day Tn order that he might devote his entire time to the Mexican situation.

War Joke DeveIopes Truth.

A rumor was circulated iii this city on Thursday to the effect that Governor Hunt had sent out telegrams to the sheriffs of the counties to accept enllstments of rough riders. That the people of Navajo county were expected to furnish at least 200 of these men. All of this was later dis covered to be joke.
 While these jokes are some times injurIously misleading this one had the effect of awakening the minds of citizens to expres- sion of early compliance should such a request come to the sheriff of this county, Joseph Woods.

INSURRECTOS WIN
 CHAMPIONSHIP

The last game of the season resulted in a decisive victory in favor of the Insurrectos. This made them winners in two out of three games, and effectualIy silenced all claims on the part of the Regulars to championship honors.
 The heavy batting of the Insu- rectos was the only interesting feature of the game, notwith- standing this. however, they earned less than half their final score. Eight of the Insurrecto runners who scored for their team reached first base through errors on the part of Regular fielders. The Insurrectos scored eleven runs in the first four inn ings and from the fourth on the Regulars were very anxious to see to the end of the ninth.
 Jolly pitched an excellent game for the Insurrectos allowing but four hits which were well scat tered through the nine innings. and struck out six men. He re- ceived fair support from the  felders, and thus was enabled to hold the Regulars down to four runs.
 Carpenter pitching for the Regulars was given scarcely any support. He allowed nine hits and struck out six batters.
 The official score book shows that six Regulars and seven In surrecto players were left on bases, Seventeen errors were put down against the Insurrec- tos and eight against the Regu- lars. The Insurrectos made fourteen runs and the Regulars four.
 A base ball meeting was held last Tuesday evening for the pur- pose of recognizing and select ing a team. Buckley was re- elected manager, but resigned and Ed. Garrison was chosen in his place. Jay Patterson was made Captain to succeed Chris tie, and a committee of three was appointed to cooperate with the manager and captain in the selection of players and to super wise other matters relating to base ball. It was understood that any choice of players made by the committee would not be final but all persons are invited to try for positions, and those making the best showing are assured of places on the team. On Sunday the 26th a matched game is to be played on the local diamond. The Woodruff team. including, in its list of players. Gene and Quince Gardner, will undertake to re- peat the feat performed by the Insurrectos last Sunday.
