GREEN NOT TO BE
 ACTIVE CANDIDATE Knows Nothing of Rumor-For Tax Collectorsbip READY FOR CHAUTAUQUA

 Last Night-Itcms of Interest.
 George Green of Berlin will not make m active campaign or tax collectors office at the coming cleo tions this fall. When seen this morning MT. Green stated that he had no intentions of running for that office and knew nothing of the rumor which has been prevalent about town for the past few days, Until yesterday when some one asked him, if he intended to run for the ofYice. It was first reported that Mir. Green would oppose Charles F. Lewis at the polls but he stated this morning that he knows noth- ing about it and all that has been going around is nothing more or less than talk There is also another rumor about town that there is still another prominent Berlin resident seeking the job of tax collector. The person in reference could not be reached this morning but it is thought by many that the mention ing of this persons name as a candi- date is the doings of a group of Kensington people.
 As was previously stated in these columns the women of the demo crative party do not intend to be di- rectly active in the elections this fall. Mrs. George Green, who has been prominent in republican women affairs, stated this morning that as far as she knew the republican women of Berlin would be indirect ly active in the elections although she does. not think there will be any women candidates for office with the exception as members of the school board.
 Tho majority of the women about the town have been satisfied with tho present administration and do not feel that women would be able to hold down such offices as frs, seleetman, tax collector or town clerk. There will be two vacancies on the school board this year and possibly a third due to a recent res- ignaticn of ono of the members. Tn all probability one or two women will seek positions on the schco committee. Mrs. Green also think. that moro women will be made voters this fall and will aid to put the right men into office.
 nberta Peaches Are Early.
 Peach growers in Kensington, Meri- den and WallingfoYd as we'll as South inston, have already begun to pick Elberta peaches and although a com paratively few have been picked to date. they are coming in fast and work will commence soon to harvest the main crop.

r. VENTS make sport Of the schemes
~ Of mice and men. Mckinley en-.
tered the race for the presidency on
the tariff issue, was elected on the
money issue and the greatest
problems that confronted him In the
White House were the fate Of chain
Of Islands off the coast Of Asia and
the destiny of China!
Spain had been engaged for two
years In a desolating struggle to hold
In subsection the revolving island Of
Cuba, and two happenings pushed
Mckinley into the conflict In spite Of
himself. In private letter, the Span
lsh minister at Washington scoffed at
the president as 'pollticastro"-
In plain American. "a peanut poll
tician"-and plainly intimated that
the fair promises which the Spaniards
we're giving him were only trick to
fool the administration and the Amer
lean people. Within q week Of that
exposure, the battleship Maine was
blown up In Havana harbor, with the
loss Of 268 American lives.

SENATE COMMITTEE
HEAR DIRECTORS

The hearing OF the objections to
the Pawnee bill by the Senate COM
fmittee last week developed nothing
new.
John Dugan, Frank BalliEger, and
Joe Frey frcm 5toneham we're pres
ent Mr.. Dugan said the election
was a joke that more than fifty per
cent OF the farms in the north part
OF the county had been abandoned,
they had received every
thing they had askel for In the shape
Of roads that was reasonable.
Mr.. Ballinger said that he put In
about 1900 acres of wheat and har-
vested about as many bushels.
Mr.. Frey said--well we don't re-
call that he said anything worth re-
peating. but it was mostly county
seat.
Rev. Cline OF Greeley was put
forward TO speak for the Greedy
Commercial Club, but he was tame
compared TO the objections made four
years ago.
A great man. Greeiey men have
promised that they would keep their
hands of this year, and are claim
ing credit for doing SO. In one way
this Is true but a new batch OF OBJ,
jectors appear each time and each
time they all claim to have the un-
animous backing of the Greeley Com
mercial Club.
We believe that the fate of the
bill is now at critical point
It would appear that with some
alteration OF boundaries the bill
might pass. The towns OF Keota
and Grover are very much interested
In not making these concessions. Ii
Raymer people were right in the
same situation as rscver, we ina
CINE we would find 1t very bitter
pill to make tho concessions

Miss Buckeyes Interpretation Of
Booth Tarkington's Mr.. Antonio last
Friday evening was one OF the best
entertainments that has ever come
to Raymer.
Space and time would not allow
anything like a complete analysis ca
the character of Mr.. Antonio as pre-
sented in the play, but we can say
1T was largely SUMMED up In the one
expression Of the hero; Nobody is
bad, just asleep.
True to any things In life, Mr..
Antonio, though "dago" and an or
gan grinder, proves to have the heart
-of a, prince while the mayor OF the

was prevented from doing a great
wrong by the shrewdness and kind

ten days Dewey had smashed the

weeks another squadron was sunk

months and a half poor old Spain

It took twice as long to make peace
as to make war. The Philippines
caused all the trouble. As we had not
captured the islands In the war, many
believed that we should let them
alone. But Mckinley decided to de-
mand from Spain the surrender of
the Philippines.
Without waiting for ratification. the
president dispatched military expe.

COURT OF
MEXICO MAY SOLVE
TROUBLE WITH u. s,
dBy The Associated Press,

MEXICO CITY, ArV 20.-Pos-
sible solution of the difficu' ties be-
tween Mexico and the United States
relative to Article 81 of the consti-
tuition, which has to do with petro-
leum deposits in Mexico, is seen by
representatives of oil companies here
in the announcement that the sup
RENE court intends to hold public
hearings, beginning Tuesday next, on
temporary injunction suits brought
against the government by foreign
oil companies, some Of which have
been pending since 1918.
Various oil men stated today that
if the courts decision is far-reaching
enough it doubtless would be accept
ed as the law of the land as indicat-
ing Mexico's judicial Interpretation
of controversial clauses Of the fam
Gus article.
1t il understood that approximate
" 100 of the suits, most of them dat
ing back to the Caranza regime, will
he called up for hearing.
The, majority of them were brought
after Carranza's decree was issued
ordering all companies to manifest
their holdings or make them subject
to announcement.
Virtually all the foreign compan.
les refused 10 make manifests, re-
sultng in about 200 announcements
against their properties. This pre-
cipitated numerous legal actions to
determine the ownership of the prop
critics.
When President Obrcgon assumed
power he prohibited the issuance of
new permits for drilling ON dcnounc-
4 properties. which virtually render
ed them useless. One of the main
points TO be considered by the sup
rene court in its anticipated deci-
sions is the matter of announcements
embracing alleged confiscation.
The supreme court has been con
sidering the suits for several weeks
and recently held several conferences
with President 0bregon. There is TO
intimation- Of the courts intention
whether it viii pass strictly upon
the Immediate questions involved in
tn esuits. or take advantage af the
opportunity TO lay down once FOR I'll,
sthe nations supreme legal body,
the government's attitude toward the
aT'eyed confiscatory and retroactive
aspects Of Article 27. Some Of the
oil men are frankly dubious that the
court will render decision Of such
nature as to settle the question now
in dispute.
