OPPOSITION NOT

STRONG TO REGIME, SAYS W. BOSSERT Walter Bossert of Liberty.Sixth district Republican chairman, is not taking serjously the rumor of opposition to his re-appointment, he said Tuesday. The Newcastle Courier Monday said: "There has been talk here of replacing Walter Bossert of Liberty as district chairman of the Republican party. It is known that a movement is on foot in several parts . of the district to supplant Bossert, but in a statement given out in Richmond Saturday. Bossert declared he was a candidate for re-election and stated he had the promise of seven of the eight county chairmen. "Local Republicans, active in the inner circles of the party, declare there was an understanding last year that if Bossert was again named dis trict chairman, he would retire after serving his term. "Bossert seems now to have forgotten about this understanding and i3 an avowed candidate. He declares he knows there is no opposition to him. but he has not been over the district for a long time, and probably doesn't know the situation. "Harmony prevails in the district, and it is the intention to continue that spirit, but the sentiment here is that Bossert has served long enough. A local man wrote to Bossert asking him if he intended to be a candidate, and received a reply that he fully in tended to and expected to be elected. Bossert reiterated his statement of Saturday when his attention was call ed to the Courier s statement Tuesday "I know nothing about a movement to replace me," he said. "The county chairman meet every month or six weeks, and it has been the understand ing that I would be re-appointed. 'I have received word from state headquarters that there would be no contest for the Sixth district cnair manshin." Bossert said he discounted the Indianapolis dispatch in the Cincinnati Enquirer last Sunday saying that Senator Watson's friends would try to elect a new district chairman. "I am interested In maintaining harmony in the district," he said. "We want L. C. Bowman for state auditor. I am boosting his campaign in the Sixth, and have taken charge of his organization work here." Would Reorganize U. S. as Holding Company (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Jan. 13 Reorgani zation of the government financial j svstem along the lines or a noming company, with the departments and independent bureas representing subsi diaries, was proposed today a national budget system, by Thomas K. i-.ni, oi New York, who aided Mexico in establishing a budget plan. Joint appropriation committees would act as boards of directors for each department and bureau, and a comptroller general would make monthly comparative cost 'statements to the committee. Mexico's monthly expenses, were reduced, Mr. Lill said, from lb.ouu,000 pesos to 10.500,000 after the system was put into effece in 1918. Marriages, Divorces, Both Increase; Boys are Back There were 149 more marriage licenses issued by the county clerk during 1919 than in 1918, statistics obtained Tuesday show. More divorce suits were also filed last year than during the preceding year. In 1919. 145 divorce petitions were filed, while only 122 were entered in 1918. "The only logical reason in my mind for the increase in marriage licenses last year," said a local official, "is the fact that a number of young, mostly returned from war service, made applications for licenses. "Naturally the number of licenses issued would fall off in 1917 and 1918 because of the large number of desirable males were in service. Consequently a number of proposed marriages were continued until after the war." Miss Catherine Doherty Dies, Near Centerville Miss Catherine Doherty, 42 years old, died of pulmonary tuberculosis at 12:30 a. m. Tuesday, at the home of her father. Henry Doherty, four miles northeast of Centerville. She was born in Wayne County and had lived here all her life. She had Vjppn nn invalid for 16 years. The fatal sickness lasted seven weeks. She is survived by her father, Henry Doherty; six brothers, John,. George William Peter, and Charles, of Wayne County, and Conn of Indianapolis; three sisters; Mrs. Margaret Foley, and Mrs. Mary Chamberlin, and Miss Elizabeth Doherty, all of Wayne County. Funeral services will be held in St. Mary's Church, Richmond, at 10 a. m. Thursday. Burial will be in St. Mary's cemetery. The Rev. W. J. Cronin will officiate.

Hatred Stating that Carranza has control of every state in the Mexican republic as proved by the regular election of constitutionalist governors in sympathy with him; that the bandit plague is being successfully controlled by the government, and pointing to numerous beneficial reforms in which Mexico is succeeding, B. Willis Beede, authority en Mexican affairs, and field secretary of the Five Years' Meeting of the Friends' Board of Foreign Missions, pointed out some of the reasons Mexico should be left to settle her own affairs with only arbitrary assistance from the United States, in an interview Tuesday. "Intervention would stir up hatred between Mexico and the United States; would mean the loss of growing trade, the killing of confidence between this country and other LatinAmeriean countries who would question where our next step of invasion might be, and would be contrary to the right of self determination of nations to which we have just finished sacrificing thousands of lives and spending millions of dollars," said Beede. He pointed out that the treaty of Quadalupe Hidalo signed at the close of the Mexican war in 1848 expressly stated that any differences between the two countries should be submitted to arbitration. "No arbitrary steps have been taken to settle the present fuss," he mentioned. Country Always Exploited Historical understanding gives a clearer setting to the present situation, Beede said. "Looking at Mexico's history from the time of the conquest of Cortez melts a great deal of the difficulty of the situation. "The early exploitations were for gold; thousands of people were killed, and tribal laws and customs were broken down. Up to that time the Mexicans, or more properly the native Indians, had emerged from the state of barbarism and had certain defined social laws, and a fairly good agricul tural system. The people have never I Deen able quite to recover. As a resuit tney are toaay unsiame in tneir ...11 1L i - 1 i m .a . ! social and economic life. "The conquerors intermarried and produced the present Mexican, who is more excitable and less dependable than the Indian. "Through the Spanish conquerors tke i : Vi 1 i --. i t (.nt o erreai landed estates, which are now being broken down through the stateg' governors," said Beede. "In 1911 at the time of the revolu tion. Diaz while head of the political organization as a president in name was in fact a supreme ruler under whom worked local politic bosses, "jefe yoliticos small corrupt groups. He kept the people in a state of servitude. Very little was done to educate the people, in fact between 80 and 85 per cent of the Mexicans are illiterate today, a situation with which foreign missionaries are struggling. "Under the peonage system, great estate owners forced debtors to remain on their estates to work out their indebtedness. Debtors were compelled to buy their clothing and food from stores established by the land owners, and in many other ways kept in debt. They were underpaid and poverty existed on a wide scale. Carranza Faces Storm "Then the storm broke. Madero deposed Diaz, and in turn Huerta, Zapata, Angel , Villa Felix Diaz, and Planquet aroze. Into this stepped Carranza. It is readily understood that after such a period as had preceeded him, the government would be greatly disorganized; commerce and crops at a standstill; the railroad system broken. Two hundred thousand dollars is being spent every month to purchase rolling stock." Beede pointed out some high spots of the reconstruction period which has followed Carranza's entrance into political affairs. The new constitution guarantees, he said, that there be free elections, liberation of the peons, provisions for the breaking down of the landed estates, church reform and the bettering of conditions for skilled labor, granting the right to organize and strike. "Many people have attempted to translate this as an evidence that Mexico has gone Bolshevik," said he "However, an understanding of the Vi lotrvnrtn I irnHitirrc linear' i - l-i 4Ua historical conditions under which the people had lived clears this belief. "The use of more and better qualified young men in government service has been a big step in bettering the Mexican government. I was particularly impressed by 'the abundance of young men when I visited the Mexican congress last year," said Beede. He pointed out that Diaz had surrounded himself by a small group of old men. Diaz Gave Concessions. "Under Diaz great concessions were given American oil men; they were charged no taxes. Carranza's constitution provides taxes, and states that only Mexicans by birth or naturalization, or foreigners who will agree before the department of foreign affairs to be considered as Mexicans, in regard to their property, are to own Resolutions on Mrs. Rae's Death Passed by Rotary A resolution paying tribute to Mrs. J. J. Rae, wife of the Rev. Rae, who died Sunday night, was adopted by the 44 Rotarians in session at the weekly luncheon of the organization Tuesday. The local club voted to support John Dyer, of the Vincennes Rotary organization, for president of the 11th district. William Rindt was in charge of the program. Each member of the club drew a yquestion from a hat pertaining to Richmond statistics, such as, "How many paved streets are there in the city?" Those that were unable to answer their question were fined ten cents. William J. Blackmore, of the Malleable Castings Company, and John Brookbank, of the International Harvester company are new members. DELEGATES ARRIVE FOR PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Delegations representing Brazil, Chile, Guatemala and Honduras had arrived In Washington today preparatory to the opening next Monday of the second Pan-American financial congress. Representatives of other. Latin American countries are expected within a few days. .

Cause

in Mexico-Beede land. This is a property requirement made by every country. Suppose, for instance, an Englishman would come to Richmond; establish a business, ' and then wilfully disobey American laws in running his business. The United States government would object, of course. How long do you suppose we would stand it. if this Englishman asked parliament to send a lot of gun boats over here to settle the Richmond question? "That in essence, is the Mexican-oil-intervention situation. In their contracts Americans with Mexican interests have agreed to abide by the Mexican laws and not call on other apencles to settle their questions; they have not pretended to do this, but ask armed intervention by the United States." TRUCK OWNERS KICK ON LICENSE FEES The truck owners of Indiana have arranged to test in the courts the Dean law, which provides for the licensing of motor trucks, the fees charged under the law being excessive, the truck owners claim. Although the law went into effect the first of the year, it seems that many truck owners are fnaa wf, provisions' and have sent in the S5 license fee, which was the amount charged under the old law, only to have their money returned to them, with the information that the amount was not sufficient to pay the fee for a license under the new law. The truck owners' organization, known as the Indiana Transfer and Warehouse Men's association, has arranged to test the law in the courts, and the matter will be taken to the courts as quickly as possible. The new law which applies to every owner of a truck of one thousand pounds capacity or more, provides that for motor vehicles that are used or to be used solely for commercial purposes herein referred to as trucks, the fees for registration one- fourth (,) ton capacity and less than threefourths (?4) ton capacity, six dollars ($6), and three dollars ($3) additional for each trailer; for a truck of threefourths () ton capacity and less than one (1) ton capacity, eight dollars 4S. and lour dollars (H additional for each trailer for a truck of one (l) ton capacity and less than two (2) tons capacity, ten dollars ($10) and I five dollars ($5) additional for each , trailer; for a truck of two (2) tons capacity and less than three and onehalf (32) tons capacity, twenty dollars ($20), and ten dollars $10) for each trailer; for a truck of three and one-half O1) tons capacity and less than five (5) tons capacity,, thirty dollars, and fifteen dollars ($15) additional for each trailer; for a truck of five (5) tons capacity and less than seven and one-half (72) tons capacty, forty dollars ($40), and twenty dollars ($20) additional for each trailer; for a truck of seven and onehalf (78) tons capacity and over, fifty dollars ($50) and twenty-rive dollars ($25) additional for each trailer. No truck of more than ten (10) tons capacity shall be permitted on the highways of the state. Charge Excessive Fees. The truck owners contend that the fees charged under the new lay are excessive, and for this reason the lawis unconstitutional. They maintain that if the trucks of certain size are to be confined to the city streets, they should not be assessed a highway tax, when they are not permitted to use the highways; they claim that in barring ten-ton t nicks from the highways, industrial progress is greatly Interfered with and thru the public generally is denied the benefits . and use of the greatest transportation facilities ever offered; the organiza tion insists that since the industry has only been perfected recently, its usefulness should not be suppressed or discouraged.

THE FIRST TYPEWRITER. So long ago as 1714 a patent for a typewriter was taken out in England by Henry Mill; it was called a "machine for impressing letters singly and progressively as in writing, whereby all writing may be ingrossed in paper so exact as not to be distinguished from print." His machine was very clumsy, and it was not until more than, a century later (1$2 9 .than anything further was attempted.. Then the first American typewriter, called a "typegrapher", was patented by W. A. Burt.
