No RECOGNITION OF
 CARBAJAL BY U. s.

Washington, July 16-With Huer- ta's meteoric career in Mexican poli- tics at an end. President Wilson and his advisers today awaited the out come of the committee of three fed era1 envoys who started from Mex ico City for Celaya to arrange with the onstitutionalists for peaceful entry into the capital. The commit tee consists of three former members of the chamber of deputies. Many diplomats thought Francisco Carba- jail, who was sworn in as successor to Huerta, ght be disposed to accept the terms of the plan or Guadalupe which provided for the naming of Carranza, constitutiona1ist chief, as provisional president pending elections throughout the republic.
 Huerta and his war minister, Gen eraI Banquet, left Mexico City aboard a train presumably bound for Puerto Mexico. There, it was believed, he would board a. ship for Europe
 While President Wilson and Secre- tary Bryan were silent after, the an nouncement of Huerta's resignation they were confident of an early ad- ed two administration and threaten ed to plunge the United States into a war. The Washington. government will not recognize the new provisional president but the understanding here is that he will hold only until arrange nents can be made for Carranza's oc- cupation of Chapultepec Castle.
 One plan suggested for the peace full transfer of control without involv- ing recognition of the federal admin istration contemplated the assump- ton of authority by local officials in Mexico City. They, in turn, would surrender their restricted power on the success of the cOnStitutiOnaliStS. The South American mediators who brought about the cessation of hos tinties between the United States and the Huerta government would con tfnue efforts, it was believed, to clear the way for conferences between the two Mexican factions.
 Meanwhile, the American warships will stand by in the harbor of Vera. Cruz and Brig. General Funston's s troops will continue their administra- tion of the port until peace is restor- ed in the war worn republic.

Mexico City, July 16.-The change in government whereby General Vic toriano Huerta turned over the pro- visional presidency to Francisco Car ibajal has been calmly received by the populace Beside the demonstration made in honor of President CarbaJa1, when he was leaving the chamber of deputies building after taking the oath, no other outburst Of importance has occurred. There were a few shouts in the streets of Do, I with Huerta and Viva Carranza,' but the police promptly intervened.
 General Huerta, who remained in the capital some hours after his res ignation, is in flight, probably on his way to Puerto Mexico to join his fam fly and friends who left for that port a day earlier.
 General Aurelio Btanquet, his min ister of war and strong adherent, went with him when he left the city late last night. as did several other of his close friends.
 Before leaving, General Huerta went to the national palace where he con- gratulated Carba jal, who replied that he would do all in his power for the country's benefit. Later, President Carbaja1 conferred with the sub-sec- retaries Of the different departments, all the members of the Huerta cabinet having resigned. A new cabinet, it is

HOLD HUERTA'S ACT
 A WILSON VICTORY

London, July 16-The resignation by General Huerta of the provisional presidency of Mexico is regarded as a victory for President Wilson's policy and is welcomed by the British public and by official circles here as possi- bIe solution of the Mexican problem. A peaceful end to the complex situa- ton is greatly desired here on account of the large British financial interests in the country.
 Most of the London newspapers, however, express doubt as to whether conditions will be better under Venus tiano Carranza than when General
 The Pail Mall Gazette points out that if Francisco Carbaja1, the new provisional president. surrenders to General Carranza, as he is expected to do, eft may soon be possible to exact reparation from General Villa for the murder at Juarez of William s. Ben ton the Scottish rancher.
 The Evening Standard says: "The Washington administration has won a diplomatic victory. President Wilson has been persistent and patient in his policy of non-recognftion. of General Huerta. but it is likely enough he will be met now by other obstacles just as hard to surmount as was General Huerta's obstinacy.
 The Globe takes much the same view, saving, ."The elimination of Gen eral Huerta is a triumph for President Wilson : but it may be assumed that his difficulties and anxieties are by no means over. There is no reason to suppose that the real opinions of the Mexican people will have more opportunity to assert themselves under General Carranza than they had under General Huerta.
 t'The United States, however, has been warned by experience not to 1n- ol1fre too closely nor to expect too rnI1ch''

APPOINTMENTS TO POLICE FORCE GO OVER UNTIL
 NEXT MONDAY NIGHT

AS was farecasted in the Farmer, no appointments were made at last nights session of the police board nor was there any indication as to why it was deferred.

ABOUT MEMBERS OF THE BAR.

In our criticism of certain cor
poration lawyers who first tried
to wreck our paper during its
owners absence from the State,
and afterwards formed that un-
holy and abortionery political al
lance with Bilbo, we do not wish
it to be Understood as an attack
upon the Bar in general.
Far be such from our design
or intent. Some our best and
and most intimate friends are
lawyers, and upon whom we can
at all times absolutely rely. And
it is the same with the people, for
this honored profession has Civ
en- them their most valiant de-
tenders. grandest statesmen and
patriots.
The Bar is an ennobling pro-
fession and upon the shoulders
of its members rests the righting
of wrong, the protection of inno-
cenee and the upholding of law
and order.
Among the best and most hon
ored citizens of ourown town and
county are lawyers, and we all
look upon them with pride and
respect.
But black sheep are found in
every flock, and the Bar is not
an exception. We are glad to
state that an overpowering ma
jority of our county Bar are high
toned, honorable gentlemen and
who would not stoop to an under
handed, dirty and contemplate
act. Such is the work of what is
known. as shyster la wyers.

early in life with a great ambition,
with lofty ideals, aud ultimately lead
to noble character. Yet parents are
so awfuily neglectful along this line.
They are either two lazy to read all
matter before 1t is placed 10 the hand
OF the child, or else they are so wrap
up in themselves and what they want
individually or what they are doing,
that they never think of the child and
what 1t is developing into through its
reading matter. A teacher gets a
! peep into homes like this every once
and a while, as the saying goes.
Children will bring books to school
with them some times, and teachers
are startled to know that many of
these books are being read by your
boys and girls. or course, a teacher
ca forbid the bringing of books,
other than text books, to school, but
they cannot watch the child at his or
her home. 1t is the sacred duty of
the parents to do this.
There will be some parents who
read this with an air of indifference,
when at that very time their own child
may be reading a story unfit for any
use outside the DEVILS suggestive
snares. Parents can't be too watchful
along this line.
But think over this thought well,
and act on it, flor by doing SO you
will have solved the problem: boys
and girls Of whatever age, il healthy
and intelligent, will read. If you, as
parent, don't give your children
something in the first class to read,
something good, they will read what
they read in the third class, some
thing harmful.
We wish to appeal to every parent
who reads this paper to cooperate
with their teachers in the teachers
effort to place only the best reading
matter in the hands Of your boys and
girls. Aid your teachers in their eff
forts to fill your child's mind with
useful information, the heart with
holy ambition, and the life with that
love that makes the world akin, and
that draws all men unto him.
