The remains of w. A. Secrest were
laid to rest in the Malta cemetery
Wednesday morning Of last week by
Coroner r. v. Tucker. No funds
for burial were forthcoming from
relatives, so he was buried at the
county's expense. As Secrest was
such broad-shouldered man, Mr..
Tucker had no casket large enough,
so was compelled to make one. The
final inquest will be held Wednesday,
February 9.
Malta people were shocked this
morning to hear of the sudden death
last night of William Mcclellan, a
member of the firm of Edwards &
Mcclellan. He came home from the
store shortly after six o'clock and
complained of pain in the chest, then
suddenly collapsed, dying instantly.
He was apparently in the best of
health and his death was probably due
to appoplexy, or heart trouble. "Mac,"
as everyone called him, has been a
resident of Malta twenty-five years
last Saturday, the fifth of February,
and was talking about it to the writer
February 4, recalling many changes
that have taken place here in that
time. He was always a good-natured
and jolly, member of the l. o. O.

and you hear people say the worst
winter they have ever seen. But there
have been others. In the years of
1857 and 1858 in western Iowa, the
deer froze to death in the snow. Again
in the winters of 1863 and 1864, the
writer hauled freight across the Mis-
slsslppi river at St. Louis with a six
mule team, where boats usually ran.
Two men froze their hands and feet
going across the padage ground to the
stables to feed the horses. Again in
1880 and 1882 the winter commenced
with a three days. storm and the
snow stayed on the ground until
May. The town of Spencer, Clay
county, Iowa, did not have a train for
six weeks and they depended on coal
for fuel. They burned all the lum-
ber in the yards, then two families
would move into one house and burn
the tables, chairs and bed-steads. At
Watertown, S. D., they tore up the
railroad track and burned the ties
and bridges. But they lived and are
riding in their autos now and are
selling land at 5000 per acre, and
burning their own wood that was
planted and grown on their home
steads. Yes, Montana is a cold place,
but don't forget there are others.

Mr.. H. S. Whitcomb, commissioner
of Phillips county, appeared before

county to Valley county was $780,
732.57, and the report of such find
ing has been filed in accordance with
law and such amount, with interest
thereon at six per cent per annum
from March Is, 1915, is due to Valley
county from Phillips county, and
Whereas, It is deemed to the great
advantage of Valley county to secure
the money due upon such claim at

begun with N. w. Halsey & Co., of
Chicago, ILL.,, for the sale and assign
ment thereof to said NJ w. Halsey &
Co.:
Now Therefore, Be it Resolved by

An objectionable act of aggression
against the Holy See and the faith of
engagements has been perpetrated by
the Italian government, according to
the "Vossische Zeitung," Berlin. The
paper states that the ancient palace
of the Venetian Republic in Rome has
been seized by the Italian government.
The building was being used by the

the newspaper says, already has trans
mitted protest through the Spanish
embassy against the seizure, declar-
ing that Italy, by the convention of
August "a, 1856, recognized the inviola-
bility of the palace, saying that the
seizure, in addition, infringes upon the
right of the Pontiff to maintain diplo.
matte relations with the foreign pow
ers. The Holy Father has protested
against the seizure, according to the
"Zeitung," but It is not likely that any
attention will be paid-at present, at
least-to the protest by the power that
took possession of the patrimony of
Peter, without as much as "by your
leave" in 1866. In the language Of

A Better Story.
In contrast to the above is the fol.
lowing item clipped from the column
conducted by Valerian in the Brooklyn
Tablet:
Reports from the Mexican border
and particularly from the 23rd Regi-
ment of Brooklyn are interesting. The
Rev. Parkes Cadman, Congregation
al minister, is the regimental chaplain,
and the Catholic soldier boys tell us
that he goes around personally
amongst them, saying, IF you are a
Catholic 60 to Mass. If you can't 60
to Mass at least read the prayers at
Mass out of your prayer book, and ii
you haven't one, at least say your
beads" No wonder that this broad
| minded minister is we'll liked by his
soldier boys. His example is refresh
ing, he is so different from the ranl
and file of ministers who are so anx

Board of Baltimore County Commis-

The school time is now at hand. In
many Of the cities of the country,
perhaps in the majority, lessons have
already been resumed. The children
have returned to their classes for a
half day at least. The parents have
made their decision as to the educa.
tion of their little ones for another
year. If their decision has been in.
correct, however; if it has been die.
tated by considerations that will prove
of injury to the children, it is not too
late to make a change in the plans
which have been laid. The choice of
a place of training for the child is
one of the most serious businesses
that can confront any one; for it will
play an important and sometimes a de-
termining role in the child's future
life.

TAFT WANTS. no BLAME
FOR MEXICAN SITUATION

Former President Taft, in copy
'righted article in the Yale Review
for October, discussing the foreign
policy of the administration, says,
Twelve days before the close Of the
last administration, through a coupd'-
etat, Huerta had become the constitu.
tional provisional president Of Mexi-
co. He was the only official, de facto
or de jure, exercising any real power
in Mexico for law and order. Ma
dero and the vice president had re-
signed under duress, and Lasourain, q
cabinet officer, became by law pro-
visional president of Mexico. Las
curain appointed Huerta secretary Of
government and then resigned, and by
law Huerta succeeded to the provi-
sional presidency.
Attempt is made to avoid respon-
sibility for the palpable blunders in
Mexico, by saying that the situation
was an inheritance from the last ad.
ministration. The slightest considera.
tion of the facts and dates shows the
lack of weight in such a defense.
Twelve days elapsed between
Hucrta's accession to the presidency
and the Inauguration of President
Wilson. Ambassador Wilson advised
recognition of Huerta, after securing
from him action upon the rightful
claims of the United States in matters
of dispute, and of her citizens for in
juries sustained by them. Had the
Republican administration continued
it would have recognized Huerta.
Il am surprised that Secretar,
Baker seeks to Justify President VIII
sons refusal to recognize Huerta b!
saying that l refused to do so. Thil
is very far from the fact.
"The last administration went ou
of power, having done nothing to EN-
barrass the situation with which Pres
ident Wilson had to deal. 1t had no

tions. 1t had merely prevented tn

It is almost beyond belief, says the
Newark Monitor, that an American
officer should be guilty of such an
offense as is here set down. Colonel
Vickers is lacking in elemental Ameri
canism. He has forgotten that free
dom of worship is fundamental
American principle.
1t is true that these young soldiers
went to the front Just merely to risk
their lives for their country. A little
thing like that should not count much
But even a soldier has the right tt

of his conscience.
Colonel Vickers has awakened t,
the fact that his strange order need
some explanation, and he has begul
his half apologies. But his explana
