PRESIDENT’S IRE CONFRONTS HUERTA

Patience of Wilson and Bryan is Sorely Tried by Mexican Butcher —-Sharp Notes of Warning. Washington, Oct. 14.—The United States government today informed Provisional President Huerta that it looked with abhorrence and amazement upon his assumption of both executive and legislative powers in iMexico and that in view of his course, could not regard as constitutional the elections announced for October 26. Two notes, the one strongly phrased and written by Secretary Bryan, 'inquiring about the safety of the imprisoned members of the Mexican congress and the other drawn in forceful language by President Wilson himself and said to constitute practically the last efforts of the Washington government to deal with the Huerta authorities by diplomatic means unless there as a decided change of spirit on the part of officials in Mexico City. The negotiations through John Lind had progressed to the point where the state department accepted the endorsement of Frederico Gamboa for the presidency as meaning the elimination of Huerta and where'it was hoped that a fair and frpe election would be held qm October 26. Now, however, President Wilson has made is clear that the Washington government had with the events of the last few days —the imprisonment of the deputies and the establishment of a dictatorship by Huerta—lost all hope of seeing a constitutional election held by the Huerta regime. The steps taken by the United States were formally communicated to all foreign governments. No further negotiations are planned through diplomatic channels and it would ont be surprising if John Lind, who has been waiting at Vera Cruz to observe the manner in which the Huerta officials carried out their promises, should return to the United States at once. Huerta’s decreeg'pj'oclaiming himself as in charge of the departments of interior, administration, finance and war, were received here today and the text gjven out at the state department. Tho cabinet meeting was about to adjourn when press dispatches announced that Senor Querido Moheno, Mexican minister o|f foreign affair* had character ized the American communications as “nitemperate.” -

Official Washington awaited the fon/lal reply being drifted by the Huerta ad nrinost ration. Charge O’Shaughnessy reported that he had conveyed both communications and had been assured with respect to the imprisoned deputies that no violence would’' be done them but that they would bo tried for sedition. It is the second note of the American government, which is said to be only 150 words In length practically breaking off negotiations with Huerta which is believed to have prompted Moheno’s declaration “Intemperate.” Developments are expected to follow quickly now as the rejection In advance of the election planned for October 26 In likely to draw out a new expression of policy by the United States.

The flag at their table was tho flag they were to defend throughout the evening. The ladies defended the flags at the table and' the gentlemen went out for conquest, small flags being given the winners after each game. These were placed in the standard of the flag for which the players contonded. At about midway of the play the gentlemen returned to defend the flags at the original tables and the ladies went out-for the purpose of conquest.

It is probable that many others wiill legalize their farm names and it would be a fine thing if every farmer would do so. If you -have not already chosen a name you should do so without delay. The names should not he chosen „ in ihaste, but you should try to associate the farm with some bit of scenery, some landmark or some historical occurrence; In this the women should prove of great benefit and so should the school children. Get them together in the evening and talk over the matter. You will find a name that will make your farm dearer to you. There are thousands of names, such as “Happy Home Farm,” “Billcrest,” “Burr Oak,” “White Oak,” “Dove’s Nest,” “Shady Nook,” “Fertile Vale,” “Peaceful Ridge,” etc. The farm -might he given the name of a noted character or it may bear your own name if you prefer. Some way a farm name seems to indicate happiness and prosperity and to be associated with a clean barnlot and fresh paint.' Speaking of paint, the owners of registered farms should have the name of the farm painted where passers by can see it, either on the gate, a sign board or the roof of the barn. The Republican hopes to find that within the next few weeks many more people have registered farm names. It is being done iii other counties and Jasper county should be right up with the best.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1913.

NINE NIFTY NAMES ARE REGISTERED

Jasper County Farmers Are Taking Advantage of the Law Legalizing Farm Names.

Nine farm names have been registered in the office of County Recorder Scott within the past two or three weeks and all are very appropriate and the act of registering them gives the farms per manent names and the names can not be used by others within the county. “Uncle Charley” Pullin was the first man to have 'his farm registered. He selected the name “Iroquois.” Others to have the farm names registered and the order in wlhieh their applications were received are as follows: Alfred B. Lowman, “Cloverleaf Stock Farm.” Arthur L. Waymire, “White Rose Stock Farm.” Orpheus C. Halstead, “Walnut Hill Farm” and “Hill Crest Farm.” Alfred E. Malsbury, “Woodlawn Farm.” "—— Amos H. Alter, “Rosebud Farm.” Joseph and Arnold Luers, “Hoosier Stock Farm.” Mrs. Jennie Gish, “Lone Oak Farm.”

Charity Board Has Been Helping the Sharp Family.

The Sharp family has been under the observation of the organized x>ard of Charities and through their recommendation by the Presbyterian church for some time aind has been given such aid as seemed best for them to have. There have been two able bodied men in the home and it is not the policy of the board and should not be to make dependents of-those who are able to take care of themselves. A recent visit to the Sharp home by a lady connected with the associated charity work disclosed .the needs and an effort was made to care for the needs in the best way. Tho men were employed at fair wages, Jbut notwithstanding this they have paid ho house rent, so the charity workers were informed, for several months. There were new screens needed, tho house being overrun with flies, thus supplying a community danger. The mother, for many months almost totally helpless, recently suffered a slight paralytic stroke, complicating the already deplorable conditions. The work of the board of charity has been timely and well judged. The Republican brieves that the organized charities in Rensselaer is pursuing the very best tactics. It it a difficult task for them to sift out the cases of deserving charity from that class of mendicants who will accept alms and quit work. It would too well in many cases if their power was greater and they could act as guardians of the expenditures of the homes where help is needed.

The proper action In the Sharp home is difficult to determine. With the mother an invalid, the little girl despondent and the home poorly cared for from a sanitary standpoint question is certainly a perplexing one.

TAUGHT SCHOOL ON A FORGED LICENSE

Miss Neva Carder of Franklin County, Let Out'From Fair Oaks School After Discovery.

Miss Neva Carder 22 years of age, of Laurel, Franklin county, has been removed as teacher of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades of the Fair Oaks school, it having been discovered by Superintendent Lamson that' the license Under which she was teaching was a forgery. Miss Carder is the daughter of John Carder, formerly of Jordan township, Jasper county, where she graduated in 1907 from the township schools with a general average of 83. The family removed at about that time to Laurel, Franklin, county, and it is understood that she graduated from the Laurel high school. In 1911 she took the teachers’ examination in Vigo county and a state license was issued July 29, 1911, for one year. If a later lieense has ever been issued to the girl it has not come to light so far and from efforts made by Mr. Lamson to learn abbut the girl there has been no other license, although she taught school 'last year in her home county. This year she engaged to teach for Trustee Right in Fair Oaks, and Superintendent Lamson asked for her license in order that he might make a record of it, as is his custom. She made several excuses about not supplying it and this aroused some suspicion. Finally the license came to hand. It was the license issued in 1911. The 11 had been changed to 13, but the day of the month was -l£ft the 29th, while this year the examination was held on the 26th. A closer scrutiny Showed that the license had been altered in a number of places, some of the grades and the average having been increased. Her grammar grade had been raised from 78 to 98, arithmetic from 88 to 89, music had been added at 89 and the average increased from 86.4 to 88.4. However, the new figures made an average of 88.5, whieh discovery was made when the facts were supplied to Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent. He furnished the original figures and substantiated the suspicion that the license had been tampered with. A letter from T. J. McCarty, of Brookville, superintendent of the schools of Franklin county, pronounced the license a forgery* also the card whieh supplied information concerning her. Mr. McCarty had given her a card showing that she had taught 12 months and had a success grade of 86. The 12 had been raised to 16, while the success grade of 86 had been raised to 96. When this information arrived Mr. Lajnson removed Miss Carder as teacher and Mrs. Clara Andrus is temporarily teaching the school until a successor can be found. Miss Carder depied tho charge when confronted with it, finally saying that there was some mistake and that her later license must be at her home. Ajj she can receive no pay for the time taught Miss Carder is in a rather had plight and has gone to work as a servant' in a home not far from Rensselaer. Several other occurrences have convinced Mr. Lamson that she is not truthful and she will be very lucky if she is not placed under arrest for the alterations in the license, Which constituted forgery.

Another Instance of Big Loss in Progressive Vote.

A special election was held in the first West Virginia congressional district Tuesday to select a successor to John W. Davis, recently appointed solicitor-general of the United States. Three tickets were in the flejd in a district normally republican. Matthew M. Neely, democrat, received a plurality of 3,500 over J. G. Hearne, republican, while George A. Laughlin, progressive, ran a poor third, receiving enough votes to accomplish the defeat of the republican candidate by a democrat, and proving the value of the progressive party as a democratic aid society. Both republicans and progressives opposed the democratic candidate, on the tariff issue. In all elections there is a decided turning hack to the republican party. The progressives have made very few converts from the democratic party and practically everyone has returned to the democratic fold. Here in Rensselaer one of the candidates for office on the democratic city ticket was a progressive and voted the ticket last fall, while another candidate on the democratic ticket winked for a time at the progressive movement, but withdrew when selected as a delegate to the progressive convention. The Republican believes that only one party can succeed in opposition to united democracy. It believes that the reppblican party is the one that will succeed and that the grand old party with its long record of achievements will respond to the demand of its members and declare for such measures of reform and such progressive demands as the majority favors. The incident of 1012, in which two stubborn forces met in anger and permitted the consuming flame of passion to control them throughout the campaign, has done Its work and should be forgotten. But one party can oppose democracy and succeed. The republican party stands ready to be again, as it has been in the past, the party of the people, and thoughtful men everywhere are returning to it and will add their strength of thought and their ideas of progress to make up the issues of a party that will swing into power and make for better government than we have ever had before. In Rensselaer there is a decided turning back to the party. There is every reason for this. The local interests are identical and the hope of all is alike. The Republican believes that right now Is the time to return to the party that was your old party, thafv you trusted and admired as you have your churCh, your lodge and your social affiliations. The party is your party and will respond to your demands, but you can not and we can not accomplish anything when rent by small dissentions. The ticket nominated by the republican party for offices in Rensselaer is an able one. It was nominated with the sole object of efficiency In administration and is deserving of the support of every citizen who wants able business management of the affairs of the city. Look It over, Mr. Votftr, talk about it with your wives,! the voters of tho <ncar future, and we believe you will dee, right here at home, splendid reasons why you should cast your vote with the republican party. It will make for future success and make easy the union that must cbme if we ever get our heads far above water.
