Holl halls from New Knoxville,
Auglaize county, is 80 years of age,
and is as progressive as the little city
in which he was born, and in which
he has always lived.
If there was ever a self-made man

shoemaker, in early life, he made his
own way through the public schools

for the year 1917. That's SO differ

for this years tags to Republican

THE SUFFRAGE CAUSE

The fact that all three patries at
their recent national conventions ad-
apted the woman suffrage plank in
their platforms is conclusive proof
that the sentiment toward the fair
sex to have some say in regard to the
laws and officers of the state and
municipality in which they reside is
growing stronger each year.
Although for years the leaders and
indorsers of this mYement have been
laughed at and ridiculed each year,
they have received more recognition.
it has taken them some time to or
ganize in such a manner as to receive
acknowledgement, but the hard work
has borne fruit as is shown by the
adoption of the plank by the three
parties.
Probably one of the greatest helps
to the suffrage party in the eyes of
the leaders of national politics is the
downfall of boss rule. Believing that
the party would be for honest, clean
politics, they have fought the suffra-
gist issue with deadly hate. What
the boss has lost in power in the last
few years has resulted in gain for
the honest politician, and the out
come of the transfer of power has re-
suited in the strengthening of the
cause of the suffragist.
Having achieved the much sought
recognition from the Progressive, Re
publican and Democratic parties, the
next step of the suffrage party will
no doubt be to make the states not
already Haunting the suffrage banner
take a stand in favor of allowing the
women to vote.--Lima Times Demo-

GYPSIES USE AUTOMOBILES IN
STEAD OF HORSES

Even gypsies are abandoning hor-
ses for motors. A band of about 40
of these nomads recently visited Co
lu nbus, o., travelling in three cover
ed automobiles which had been 'pur-
chased a short time before. The lead
er of the gypsies said that the cost
of the cars were $500, $1,000 and
$3.50 respectively Each motor was
fitted up in true gyrsy fashion, and
portions of the tops were painted in
the bright colors characteristic of the
familiar gypsy wagons. The sage of
the group was a woman rs years old,
and the youngest of the cnUdren was
months old.-Popular Mechaics.

RESPONSIBILITY ON MEXICO
[Ohio state Journal.l

LOhlO state journal.
If it comes to war with Mexico,
the responsibility for that sad out
come of the long and vexations nego-
tiations between the two nations will
rest upon Mexico. No government
could have shown more patience in
dealing with this turbulent nation
than ours has shown. Doubtless the
administration has made some mis-
takes in its handling of the annoying
Mexican problem but its purposes
have always been right and It's per-
formances usually SO. 1t has exer-
cised almost supe"buman forbear-
ance in its effort to avert war that
would be needless prohtless and cost
ly and its quiet self-possesion and ca
pacity for long suffering have been
maintained in the face of the terrific
clamor and abuse from the naturally
eXcitable and from the schemers who
figure that they would be gamers in
business or politics from clash.
When our territory was violated
and an American town was shot up
it was necessary to act. In ordinary
self-respect and seli-protection we
could not do less than cross the bor-
der and pursue the fleeing maraud-
ers with the avowed intenuon of cap
turing or killing their chief. And
still the administration was patient
and war was not declared. All we
have tried to do to date was to catch
the principal Mexican murderer,
whom Carranza could not or would
not catch, and to protect our own ter
ritory, unfortunately without success
in either case. Now, if Carranza
blindly and stubbOrnly presistes in
his foolish defiance of our national
rights, he will bring on a wholly in
eXcusable war which will cost him
far more dearly than it will us,
though heaven knows it will cost us
dearly enough.

Yuma Soldiers Headed fu Border Warfare; Partir
PATRIOTISM AT FEVER HEAT As
 BOYS CALAMITY GO II FRONT

the first time Copany l. has ever been called to the front to engage in actual warfare, not necessarily against poor old Mexico, but a war of extermina- nation against the bandit forces of that unhappy country who recently have committed so many murders and other crimes that patience has ceased to be 2 virtue.
 That ''our boys" will give a good account of themselves under the most trying circumstances there can be no question of doubt Lieut. Colonel Donkersiey, who accompanied the boys, said just before leaving that he had every reason to be proud of Yuma's members of the state militia, while Capt Frank Hall declared no state in the Union will be able to show a better body of men. That he was doubly proud was evidenced when he received the flag for his company presented by the Elks in a patriotic speech by County Attorney Colman. This flag will be carried into the very thickest of the battle, should it be unhappily the lot of our sol diers to have to engage in battle.
 In addition to this flag, the members of the Ocotillo Club pinned a dainty little American flag on the breast of every one of the members of Go. L.
 Following is a list of the members of the Ocotillo Club who took part in these memorable ceremonies:

Patriotism was at fever heat last night when Go. L, of the Arizona State Militia, assembled at the Southern Pacific hotel to entrain for Douglas.
 The Ocotillo Club, under the leadership of it's presi- dent, Mrs. James s. Garvin, had decorated the front q the hotel with huge Ameri- can flags, and to show their motherly feelings for our gallant soldier boys had pro- vided 9 light luncheon for them, which was served by the members of the club.
 The newly arrived Fist U. s. regimental band, which is to be stationed here indefi- nitely, though it had put in a strenuous day travelling to Yuma from San Diego and pitching tent, was on hand to furnish patriotic music, while the ever loyal Elks, under the leadership of Ex- alted Ruler Frank Ming, who met in a body and acted as guard of honor as "our boys" cheerfully swung into the midnight train bound for the Mexican frontier, where they are to do a soldiers s duty, regardless of what that duty may be.
 The crowd that assembled at the depot was as large as any gathering ever seen at that point. Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers embraced their loved ones in fond goodbye, and when the famous regimental band struck up The Soldiers Farewell'' tears trickl6d down the cheeks of the assembled multitude
 It was pathetic in the extreme, and yet every heart was so filled with the real American enthusiasm that it was indeed an inspiring sight, for this is

WASHINGTON, May 12 Secretary of War Baker announced, after the cabinet meeting today, that the Mex .can policy remains unchang- ed; no new orders for militia are contemplated. It is also indicated that no general in- tervention in Mexico is con- sidered; at least, not at the present time.
 The failure of Scott, Funston and Obregon to agree has merely shifted the negotiations to diplomatic chan neIs; officials here thought that a break in these negotiations has not strained diplomatic relations.
 Scott's report has been presented to the cabinet. It is understood the negotiations called for an unwritten agreement to have cooperation along tie border. It is said that Carranza is unwilling to sign any formal agree ment hich his opponents would con- strue as a surrender of sovereignty.

DOAN FALLS UNDER
 DR. APJOHN'S AUTO

Hon. John Doan, title manager of the Yuma Title Abstract and Trust company, met with a narrow escape from death shortly after two o'clock this afternoon, when the bicycle on which he was riding skidded under Dr. ApJohn's automobile, on First avenue at Third street.
 An eye witness stated that Mr. Doan was badly lacerated and hurt across the shoulders and lay face downward under the machine as it passed over him. MT. Doan, if at all unconscious, quickly recovered and would say nothing.
 Dr. ApJohn hastened the injured man to the Yuma hospital, where it as reported by Dr. Ketcherside in
 harge that apparently no bones were broken MT. Doan is noted as a very gritty man, and he walked from the automobile into the hospital, where ct Q OO liAC CAItCbudllI SlOICu lllC1b 1IC was resting easily. At this writing it cannot be stated just how the acci- dent occurred, but evidently MT Doan, who was returning from dinner, after discovering the oncoming automobile, tried to stop but too late to prevent his bicycle skidding underneath.
 The accident is deplorable, and it is sincerely hoped that no serious re- suits will follow. In any event, the occurrance ought to have a deterrent effect on fast automobile riding, of which Yuma, like every other city, has an over-abundance
 To date Yuma has been remarkably free from automobile accidents, due to good driving in part, but no doubt
