Tama, Jan. 1.-The agricultural inn
plement firm of Enright Bros. owning
stores at Tama, Garwin and Conrad, is
insolvent and has made an assignment
of it's property for the benefit of its
creditors TIE liabilities of the firm
are estimated at $4,000 and while
members of the firm estimate it's assets
at from 100000 to $4,000 the creditors
place the more modest estimate on
them of $1,000. and are hoping to re-
ceive about 90 per cent on their ac-
counts
AT a meeting of the creditors held
here j. A. Phillips was chosen as truss
tee and the closing of the firms bust
ness will be in his hands.
The firm has been in existence for
approximately twenty-five years and in
addition to it's assets the eighty-acre
farm in Columbia township. the prop
erty of John p Enright, is assigned for
the benefit of the firms creditors.
The action taken by the creditors
was due to their desire to escape
throwing the firm into bankruptcy,
which. had it been necessary. would
probably have largely reduced divi-
dends to the creditors on account of
federal court costs.

IF SPAIN SHOULD ACT.

If Spain should send word to the powers, asking them for their influ- ence and arms for the suppression of what she calls "a state of anarchy" which exists in Mexico in retaliation for the indignities heaped upon Jose Caro. Spanish minister to Mexico, by Carranza, she unconsciously would engage her diplomacy in a work of keen humor. Imagine the powers, or the most of them. being in a state of mind just now. or in a state of military readiness. to indulge their activities in comparatively little fuss like Mexico's.
 At the same time Spain, with mem ories flickering backward into those days of the 90's when her conduct of Cuban affairs was displeasing to the United States, might not be un- mindful of the burr she could poke beneath the saddle which Uncle Sam has been riding, not pleasantly in re. cent months, in his rowing attempts to police the western hemisphere. Uncle Sam then took a hand in the

Cuban difficulty, forced Spain out, established sound government and a measure of freedom which the Gu bans never had known. This under the resolute hand of determined ad- ministration. Spain's act, though not by any means without reason, could contain at least a faint note of re- venge.
 It is a serious situation, with the Monroe doctrine more or less the stake. If the powers were at leisure it is not improbable that they might take a hand. Possibly they may do so anyway. They at least could make it interesting for the United States by instructing this nation to end the Mexican muss, which has reached a condition almost indescribable.
 Perhaps Japan might spare the time, the men and the money, for the enterprise.

War Hurts Gambling.

Thus far two great steps in advance, and both tending to be of inestimable benefit to the races of the two coun- tries, have been made by Russia and France as a result of the war. In the former the manufacture and sale of vodka have been prohibited and in France the manufacture and sale of absinthe have come under he prohib- itory mandate. How far-reaching these reforms will be only time can tell, yet they cannot be otherwise than most beneficial. Now comes the rath- CT amusing information that Monte Carlo is suffering from the lack of gambling patrons. During the last year the receipts of the gambling in. stitution were much less than they had been the previous year. In other words, the management. in it's report to the corporation owning the conces- sion, reported that the shrinkage was $2.000, 900, or 50 per cent.

MIR. BRYAN MAKES OUT A GOOD
 CASE

No one who looks at things with an unbiased mind has ever doubted that the administration was doing it's best, in good faith. to live up to the one who reads in that spirit the rec ord of the administrations acts can help conceding that, on the whole, these matters have been handled in satisfactory way
 Where there has been an apparent invasion of American rights the ad- ministration has promptly secured all available information and lodged a protest. Where the question was one that afforded ground for further dis cussion the administration has clear ly asserted the American view. It has It has proceeded with the calmness which is indispensable in all cases where settlement and not provocation is sought.
 There are, of course, always with us those who believe in introducing negotia lions with violent affirmations; who feel that country that speaks calmly has surrendered it's prestige. And there is small element in our citizenship that finds our negotiations unsatisfactory because they have not resulted in embroiling us in some way with the country or countries against which their prejudices are fixed
 The administration has wisely de- cided to follow sounder counsels. It has not thrilled the country, but it has convinced it of the -rectitude of it's intentions and the general pru- dence of its course. It has not se- cured as prompt settlement of some vexing questions as might perhaps be desired; but it has at least avoided rendering them more perplexing by adopting summary tone certain to foment national antagonisms.
 For at least two more years the present administration will be at the head of our national affairs. It will be called on to secure the recosni- tion of our rights as neutrals and to deal with many difficult questions. No matter how much citizen may wish a change of administration, we cannot for some time have any other agency in international affairs. It is the duty of patriotic citizens to recoe- nze this fact and Loyalty to support their government in it's dealings with foreign nations-EX.
