 Just as soon as Carpenters appear anee is assured, Rickard will complete arrangements for signing a suitable op- ponent for the French champion. He recently made flying trip to Chicago to interview Jess Willard, the world s heavyweight champion, on the proposi- ton to face Carpenter in a ten round bout. Willard expressed perfect will ingness to box the French pugilist but Is understood to have asked what Rickard thought was an extremely high figure for his services.
 Darcy Will Fight If Jess Won't.
 Willard declared he could get into condition for the contest if given six weeks in which to train and he will be the opponent selected if the question of his share of the purse can be ad- justed to the satisfaction of the pug Hist and the promoter.
 In case Willard's terms are too high, Rickard will endeavor to sign up Les Darcy, the Australian middleweight, to meet Carpenter. Darcy is understood to be 0 nhis way to this country by way of South America and has noti- fled friends that he expects to arrive here about January 15. There is some mystery surrounding his reported de- parture from Australia, but Rickard has stated that if Darcy is not avail able there are several American opportunity to meet Carpenter for a share of the big purse that the pro- moter has announced he is ready to offer.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-The National As sociation of Professional Empires will meet here December 10. it was an- nounced today, to discuss measures for the betterment of conditions among umpires in the minor leagues.
 The umpires contend that a minor league president often retains the services of six umpires, uses four and holds two for part of a season when they are released. This action, they assert, is unfair. They will demand the same consideration given umpires of the major leagues.

oner, simply because he is a
prisoner and an officer believes
he has the authority.
1t appears that the Headlight
has been trying for some time
to show up the worst side of
everything at Columbus Only
last week a heading of an article
reporting the trial Of several
bootleegers was "Al! were Co.
lumbus Citizens" Not a single
one of them were citizens of
Columbus and we d o b t
whether there was a citizen OF
the State of New Mexico among
them. The Headlight has been
raising an awful howl about the
expense of prosecuting h c
raiders and criminals. In fact
it has kicked more than some
of our citizens who lost more
in the raid than the entire ex-
pense to the county has been
since it happened. 1t has cost
the Headlight very little, if any.
thing, and we cannot see where
they have a kick coming.
If the sheet will in future
make an effort to place the
blame where it belongs, tell the
truth and stop when it's told,
and play fair with Columbus
the citizens will form a much
better opinion of it than they
have ever been able to in the
past,

1916 HARRY WHITEHlLL.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1916-08-11

We have read with interest
an editorial in the last issue of
the Deming Headlight, t h c
County Democratic organ, in
which the people OF Columbus
and the Courier are accused of
planning and making a deliber
ate attack on the work Of Sheriff
Simpson. The article further
proceeds to instruct the citizens
of Columbus how to conduct
their affairs in order to save
t county expense. After
going so far we are surprised
that they did not recommend
the cigarettes we should smoke,
the brand of coffee we should
buy, and who should be supported
in the fall election.
The accusation of a planned
attack an the sheriff is abso,
lutely false. The Courier has
commended the excellent work
done by Simpson from time to
time and will continue to do so.
If in our opinion a mistake in
the conduct of the Office is
made, the Courier will not
stand back a second on making
it known in the same good
spirit that he is commended.
And as for an attack, if a state.
ment of facts can be Gallo such,
they are apt to occur any time.
1t is easy for US to understand
the Headlights position. In
order to get the county printing
and to hold hold its position as
party mouth piece it is bound
to support the nominees of the
Democratic party, whether it
can conscientiouslydo so
1t is a matter Of safety first.
Qualifications are not to be
considered. If there is some.
thing rotten in Denmark it is
up to the Headlight to put the
whitewash brush into use. The
conscientious editor With such
a position has our sympathy.
We would like to have it
plainly understood that the
Courier is published for the
people. 1t feels its duty toward
the people and neither asks nor
expects any favors from any
political party. If any public
officer neelects or goes beyond
the bounds of his duty the mat.
ter if known to us will certainly
be exposed, regardless of poll,
tics. When the Courier com
mends the acts of any public
official it will not be on account
of his politics nor with the
hopes Of being favored in return
in any way whatsoever.
We admit that conditions
here are no at all as we would
wish them to be. The coming
of the troops have brought
many people here who have but
little regard for laws or order,
and not one Of our citizens will
be found to be in sympathy with
such people We are in favor
Of seeing them prosecuted to the
full extent of the law but we DO
