Tribute To Anton
Weiss From Press
of Lone Star State
Former Redwood Boy, Now Editor
of Duluth Herald Praised By
Dallas Morning News
Big Factor in Growth of Duluth,
Big in Politics and Big
in Journalism
Early Training on Redwood Gazette
Helps in Managing One of Best
Papers in Minnesota

To the people of Redwood County
and Redwood Falls, the name of An
ton Weiss possesses a little magic
all its own; the magic that creates,
at the mention Of this name, a little
glow of pride and friendliness and
admiration Therefore it is with
great pleasure that The Gazette is
giving to its readers in this issue
the following tribute to Mr.. Weiss
real genius paid by the Morning
News of Dallas, Texas in it's Sketch
es of Prominent American Newspa-
per Men,"
The Gazette received by today's
mail a message from Stellmah Bing-
ham of the Duluth Herald, stating
that Anton C. Weiss is at present
convalescing at his Duluth home af-
ter his very severe illness of the
past ten weeks spent under the care
of the Drs. Mayo.
when Anton Charles Weiss went
to Duluth in 1884 as agent for the
st. Paul Pioneer Press, Duluth was
a frontier town of 5000 people. 1t
promised to do well, however, and
Mr.. Weiss believed the surface in
dications were good. 1t followed that

there he began organizing a COM

Weiss ever since that time.
I Biography

ago in wisconsin, of German par.

Washington Not
Hopeful of Result
of Mediation Plan
United States Will Not Mediate, Ar
bitrate or Discuss Question of
Huerta Keeping Power
MUST EITHER LEAVE OR FIGHT
May Accept Offer of South America
But VIII Attach Numerous Reser-
vations to- Acceptance

European diplomats in Washington,
are pessimistic over the successful
outcome Of mediation proposals by
South American governments to pre-
vent war with Mexico. While the
action of Great Britain, Germany and
France in urging Huerta to accept
the good offices proffered by Brazil,
Chile and Argentina, has had an en-
couraging effect upon officials at
Washington, there are few who be-
leve that success can eventuate from
the undertaking.
Reported acceptance Of the media
ton offer by Huerta, even if it be-
comes officially confirmed, means moth
ing unless Euerta is ready to quit
Mexico and abandon everything. That
Huerta will make such an absolute
unconditional surrender is not con-
ceivable in Washington at present.
May Accept Offer
Huerta may accept the "offer" of
the A. B. c. powers Of South Amer
lea. in order to put himself in the
same diplomatic standing before the
world as the United States, which
has accepted with many reservations.
That Huerta will also attach numer-
Gus reservations is not doubted at
Washington.
Deadlock Is Likely
These reservations on both sides,
in the judgment of experienced states
men, will speedily create dead
lock impossible to break, and when
that fact becomes clear host:lities
viii proceed.
Scope Of Mediation
As the scope of the contemplated
mediation becomes known, it is found
that it covers, so far as this country
is concerned, the entire Mexican sit
uation.
II is not confined to the Tampico
incident and what followed, but il
runs backward from Tampico and
touches every other incident since
Huerta rose ito power.
Must Agree First
This country is willing to mediate
after practically every demand that
the Wilson administration has made
from the start is conceded. 1t will
not mediate, arbitrate or discuss the
question of Huerta remaining in
power.
Huerta's Standing Same
Huerta, therefore, stands exactly
where he did year ago or six months
ago, so far as the United States is

President Asks
Rockefeller To
End Strikers Fcud
Strike Conditions Declared Worse
Than Anything That Has Hap
pened in Mexico
LIVES AND PROPERTY LOSS
"Mine Owners Will Fight To The
End Says John Rockefeller
Jr. Recently

President Wilson has made per-
sonal appeal to John D. Rockefeller
to bring about settlement of the
Colorado coal strike and end the vio-
lence which has cost score of lives
and large property loss.
To Confer With Rockefeller
Rockefeller, who owns a large part
of the mines affected by the strike,
in response to telegram from the
President, declared he had turned
over his interests in Colorado to his
son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., whom
he would ask to cooperate with
Chairman Foster of the House COM
mittee on mines and mining. The
President sent Mr.. Foster to New
York yesterday to talk with the
younger Rockefeller.
May Send Federal Troops
Upon the outcome of the confer
ence depends whether Federal troops,
which have been asked for by all
sides of the controversy, will be sent
to the strike zone. Recently the
younger Rockefeller, at hearing Of
the monies committee of the House,
said the mine owners would fight to
the end, even though they lost all
they had invested in Colorado.
Horror Of Real War
I Since then the conflict has waged
with all the horrors Of actual war
fare. The President, cabinet officers,
senator's and congressman, have been
flooded with kilograms describing the
most grewsome happenings and ter
rible scenes.
Nothing that has happened in
Mexico" said a cabinet. official yes
terday, Compares with the awful
| things that have occurred in Colorado.
| The public mind has for the moment
been conferred on Mexico and has not
observed the great domestic struggle
between the strike-breakers and the
miners and the militia in Colorado"
Secretary Garrison said yesterday
he had not been consulted as to the
sending of troops to Colorado to
handle the mine strike situation. 1t
was stated at the department, how
ever, that if troops were ordered to
Colorado by the President, detach-
ment would be sent from the two
troops of the Twelfth cavalry at Fort
D. A. Russell, Cheyenne, Wyo.

agency. MinnehaIIa will be imper-
sonated by Miss Cora st. Clair and
many others have consented to take
part.
The pageant opens with a drama
tization of the most dramatic parts
of Longfellow's Hiawatha; this is
followed by the coming of the White
Men, their settling of the Indians
well-loved hunting lands, the going
to the Civil War of the settlers and
their return followed by the out
break of the Indians and the mas
sacre, followed by tableaus showing
the growth of State and finally the
big triumph of the present Mime
sofa.
The stage properties, like the stage
setting, will be very real ones. Cen
uine log cabins will be constructed
real Indian teepees brought from the
Agency and all the relics and curios
valued SO highly by the Indians
placed in their old-time settings and
given their old-time significance.
The pageant and all the details
connected with it are under the di-
rection of Miss Lora Francois with
whom the idea Of its presentation
originated. Miss Francois is admir-
ably suited to the work of managing
and directing such a production hel
special training along dramatic lines
having fitted her for just this sort OF
effort. Of distinct talent herself, Miss
Francois will be a constant inspira-
ton to the actors under her charge
and the management of the celebra
ton feels assured her part in the
program will be a big success. 1t is
planned to present the pageant botf
the first days of the celebration. This
is the same presentation that was
made during the Civic Celebration al
Minneapolis some time ago, and i
then proved of the greatest interes
and attraction to all who saw it.

Candidate Lee Is
Heard By Many
Nearly Five Hundred People Greet
Anti-Machine Candidate At Ar
mory Tuesday Evening
ATTACKS ADMINISTRATION
Defends Primary Law; Conference
Not An Attempt to Render Law
Useless; State Too Extravagant

William E. Lee, the Anti Machine
candidate for the nomination of Gov
ernor appeared before large crowd
here Tuesday night and propounded
his ideas of good government His
attack against the present admins
tration was straight forward and
backed by statistics. He alleged that
the rate Minnesota travelling is a
terrific one, and that it's taxes were
greater than those of any other state
in the union, with one exception. He
attributed this to Anticipated methods
of government which are in vogue
throughout Minnesota at the present
time.
Mr.. Lee briefly cited the increased
disbursements from the revenue fund
from three and three quarter million
dollars in 1902, to ten and three quar-
ter million in 1912. He also said that
these disbursements were greater in
the past two years than ever before
in the history of the state.
People Are Burdened
The speaker claimed that governor
Eberhart's administration is charac-
terized by incompetence, extrava-
gance and increased taxes, and that
the bulk of his campaign fund is
coming from the state treasury and
other such sources. He also said
that the heavy tax of Minnesota in
1914 is terrific burden upon the
industrial development Of the state,
and that the people are not receiv-
ing a hundred cents worth of value
for each dollar paid as taxes.
Defends Primary
The speaker was warmly applaud
ed when he spoke in defence of the
Primary law, thereby clearing in
the minds Of many who were pres
emit the idea promulgated by machine
newspapers that the conference move
ment was nothing more than an in
sidious attempt to side track this
law and resort to the old convention
system. He briefly explained the mo-
tive behind the conference movement,
thereby impressing upon his audience
the knowledge that it was the only
logical recourse by which they could
hope to avoid a similar repetition of
what occurred at the last state election.
IL the crowd of about fve-hun-
bred people which welcomed Mr. Lee,

growing strength in this section of
the state, it is hopeful one Farm

Learn How TO Cure
And Prevent Hog
Cholera Saturday
Demonstration At Court House At
ternoon of May 2; Every one
Urged to Attend
Drs. Ward, Reynolds And Hoskins
VIII Be Present To Give Infor-
nation and Make Suggestions
Expert Sent By State To Come May
/ to Assist in Fight Against
Stock Scourge

A Hog Cholera Demonstration will
be given on the courthouse grounds
in Redwood Falls, Saturday after
noon, May 2. DR.. Ward, Secretary
of the Live Stock Sanitary Board,
DR.. Reynolds, State Veterinarian and
DR.. Hoskins of the State Hog Cho-
lera Serum Plant will be present and
will show to all who are interested
the best methods of fighting this
plague which has already cost the
county several thousands of dollars.
A cholera expert sent by the state
will also come to Redwood County
about May 1, and will stay as long
as his services are needed to elemi-
nate the greatest drawback to hog
raising that has yet shown itself. He
will work throughout the entire coun-
ty and be ready to help at any time
or place.
Everyone Should Attend
Iii order that the demonstration
and the work of the expert may both
accomplish their purpose it will be
necessary that they meet with the
| hearty cooperation of farmers ev-
cry where throughout the country.
To this end it is greatly desired by
] the promoters of this movement that
all farmers attend the Saturday meet
ing whether their hogs suffered from
the disease which swept through the
country last season or not. There
are strong indications that there will
be another outbreak with the first
warm weather, and the best method
of handling the disease is to learn
preventive remedies. One farmer
who permits the outbreak of this d.
sease may prove menace to the
whole neighborhood in which he lives.
1t is therefore the duty good citizens
owe the county and state as well as
themselves to learn all they can of
the best methods of handling or pre-
venting the disease.

ENGLAND EXPECTING
ATTACK BY GERMANS
Probability of Attempt at Inva-
sion Calmly Discussed in
Lobby of Commons.

LONDON, Nov. 22.-The probability of
an attempted German invasion of Eng
land Is discussed in the lobby of the
house of commons with equaniISsty, and
the opinion is generally expressed that
Germany, now being held on the west
ern battle line. may be tempted to try
raid on this country soon.
Her object, it is assumed, would be
to create a panic here and prevent the
sending of further British re-enforce-
ments to the front The recent incur
sion of the German fotilla on the east
coast will, it Is thought. encourage the
Germans to make a dash for England,
and it is understood in parliamentary
circles that the British military au-
thorities are well informed as to the
locality and the method of the proposed
attack. Some authorities hold, however,
that Germany will not risk her COM
mand of the Baltic on the chances of a
raid on England. If her high seas fleet
were defeated Russia would have free
run of her Baltic ports. On the other
hand. it is believed that the Germans
are extremely confident Of the efficiency
of their fleet, and that they may be
disposed TO take great chances to hit
England, so deep is their hatred of this
country.
