ROYCE says that Brainerd is agin'
the government in It's war with Spain.
As usual the gentleman lies In com
mon with large number of our peo-
pie Brainerd believed the war unnec.
cessary. He believed that war is so
destructive of morals and of life that
it should be avoided. What becomes
OF our boosted civilization if we resort
to the. ancient decree that might is
right. Brainerd, and so to do ma
jority Of the American people believes
that if war with Spain is a necessity,
that it should be waged as a war of
vengeance for the destruction of the
Maine, and for the settlement of the
outrages perpetrated upon the Amer
can people by the Spaniards for many
years past. AS it now stands we have
stepped into quarrel between two
people, and by so doing have estab-
lished a principle which some day
will confront us. If 1t is right for
this nation tointervene between Spain
and Cuba, possibly some other nation
may intervene between US and Spain.
In this intervention we have estab.
llshed precedent, which if followed
out will keep US in trouble, for there
are revolutions going on somewhere
all the time. The governments of
Europe may hold that if we help the
CGbans to throw off the Spanish yoke
we may be tempted to do the same if
the people Of the dependency of some
other power follow in the footsteps of
Cube. We havs insisted that the
Monroe doctrine is right. What if
Europe applies the same rule to US
when we come to occupy the Phillip
inc Islands?
We believe that this talk of war
for humanity is simply bosh. True
the Spanish forces have robbed, out
ragged and starved thousands, but
are thew snfferlngs lessened any by
this wara The twenty-five young
who left this county Monday are OF

GovENcR LEEDY was unfortunate
enough to pick out Smith Center as
one Of the recruiting points IN this
section. The Smith Center Pioneer
has this to say: Gov ernor Leedy ex-
poets the city to furnish rooms for re-
cruitiDg purposes, but says nothing
about where the money is to come
from to pay for the use Of the same"
The Phillipsburg Dispatch explains
how the station came to be located at
Smith Center, by saying that it was
on account Of the big pop vote cast by
Smith County. And these fellows
call themselves patriots.

SOME Of the alleged patriotic repub-
liCan editors are finding considerable
fault with Governor Leedy because
hs has not called the national guard
just 10 suit them, The governor, as
time will show, IS about the only one
who called for recruits according to
law. We predict that before the war
is over that Leedy's plan of enlisting
our quota Of troops as individuals
will be pronounced the only right
one.

Interesting Damage Suit.

SIOUX CITY, Nov. 12.-(Special)-The
case of Prof. Herman Brueckner against DR..
John rma Is set down for trial In the
district court November II. Considerable
interest is manifested in this case, not only
from the fact that the parties to the action
are well known in the city, but because OF
the large amount involved. Brueckner
asks the court to award him $4,000 as dam
ages for an alleged false arrest on an In
formation sworn out by the defendant.
Dr.. Hermann caused the arrest OF Prof..
Brueckner several months ago on the charge
of attempted murder by having administered
poison to his wife. who at that time was
lying i'll at the Samaritan hospital IN this
city. Brueckner was arrested and taken to
the police station. 1t was a serious charge
and he was placed in Jail. Later he Sc
cured bonds for his release and the case
dragged along for several weeks. Finally
It came up for preliminary hearing and
upon motion of the state 1t was dismissed.
Then it was that Brueckner filed the civil
action in the district court, claiming dam
ages. Mrs. Brueckner did not die. me
outcome of the case will be watched with
much interest and both sides are making
every preparation for the trial.

cessful quarterback kick and carried 1t
back to the ten-yard line. Captain Tracy
gave the signal for line hammering and the
visitors were forced to break ground clear
back to their goal line. Two minutes before
