WOROINES STEPS OLIT

First step OF what may prove to be serious trouble
seen by many IN the gnation Of the labor leader
Morones from the Mexican cabinet and two other la
Dor leaders from high Mexican offices, as result of
the killing Of Oregon
Although Morones and his friends stoutly denied
any responsibility for the assassination, the popuace
accused them Of being "psychoogically responsible"
in convincing the country that the laborites had hand
in it.
Morones at first demanded that the agrarian lead
ers who responsible for the charges should prove
them but reconsdered and resigned in the interests of
harmony. 1t will not do to say that the resignation
admits the truth of the charges. Morones may be
much more substantial patriot of Mexico than many
who make the charges against him.
There is something odd to the American mind at
least, about the of conduct that has been pur-
sued with reference to Obregons slayer. At the time
OF the Staying friends of ObregOn undoubtedly armed
surrounded him. It is the Mexican custom in TRACE
dies Of this sort to shoot first and question afterward
In this however, the assassin only escaped
immediate bullet but still lives and according to
ports Is to be given civil trial, instead Of the usual
drumhead military trial, always resulting in an adobe
wall and firing squad.
This course would indicate that men highly in
fuental in Mexican circles may have been the minds
behind the deed. Whether Morones was one Of these
cannot be said. If he not and still has been fore
ed from the cabinet it be safely assumed that he is
going to that the persons who behind the plot
exposed.
Morones out Of the cabinet. is now not held by any
sort Of allegiance to the Gales regime except pat
riotc Mexican citizen He may even enter himself
candidate for the presidency, something that the
agraran leaders might regret for Morones is not with
out q large following in all parts of Mexico

Awake for Burial

tened for wedding anniversary by
the wife of a farmer were found
when the day arrived, stiff and cold
in the shed where they had spent
the night, presumably frozen to
death. The farmer refused to eat
them, and declared they should be
buried.
AS the ground was frozen hard
1t was impossible to bury the geese.
Their feathers were plucked and the
carcases left piled up in the shed.
The establishment was great when
three lively but hacked geese greet
ed them on opening the shed a few
days later.
1t was discovered that barrel of
home brew which had been stored
in the same shed had burst owing
to the cold, and the geese had been
so intoxicated as to appear dead for
several days.
