While it is to be regretted that SC
many wild rumors are in circulation
as to the extent of the scarlet fever
contagion in Dallas, it is useless to
attempt to trace them to their
source or to put an end to
them. The truth Of the matter
is there are just nine homes in
fected with this disease in Dallas at
the present time, and there has been
no spread Of the fever outside these
homes. There are not 90 cases, nor 40
cases, neither are there "a cases as was
reported in Monmouth and Inde-
pendence yesterday afternoon. 1t is
hard to make people believe the truth
of any newspaper statement concern
ing the extent of a contagious disease
in a town, and the newspapers can
only carefully ascertain the true stu
ton, publish the same, and let it 60
at that. Notwithstanding all the wild
stories in circulation, the fact is there
are nine homes in Dallas where the
disease exists, and no more. But we
would hate to see all the people in
Polk county who will think we are
lying about it hold up their hands.

DANGERS OF PEACE.
Governor HanIy Of Indiana Gives
Warning Note.

Governor Hanly Of Indiana Gives
Warming Note.
From the Columbus Dispatch
In his Memorial day address, Gov
ernOr Hanly Of Indiana departed
somewhat from the usual line Of such
addresses. He held that the highest
tribute we Of this generation can pay
TO the memory Of the soldier dead is
to preserve and promote the republic
that they made the sacrifice to save.
But he did not stop there; If he had
mis- remark would have been common
place. Instead, he told of the dan
gers that now threaten the republic
and sought to make his speech a call
to service.
He pointed to the great material
prosperity Of the country, the univer-
sal desire to get on in the world, and
the too general neglect Of moral ObIi-
cations and good citizenship. If men
could get wealth, he said, they have
been willing to take the hazard that
always accompanies a lowering of
moral standard and neglect Of duty.
Laws touching moral questions have
been ignored; and the bribe-giver and
CRATER have appeared with corrupt
propositions in speciOus gUise- The
poison has worked insidiOusly through
pO4LlCdl anu even INTO commercial
life, till the moral fiber Of the whole
nation is threatened. said he
You must chose between these
conditions and the republic. You can
not have both. If you love the sys-
tenn Of great speculation that dis
graces the republic better than you
love its institutions, you may keep
the system, but you Will lose the in
stitutiOns for which you fought and
for which your comrades died on the
battlefield. There is no room in all
this great republic for the CRATER OF
the bribe-taker. Such a man is the
lsnemy Of the flag and it ought not
to shelter him. He ought to be
made an Outcast- For him there
ought not to be a flag
These are strong, true words They
voice what is heard in whispers in
many quarters. 1t is time that they
should be spoken boldly and needed
religiOUsly- The need Of the hour is
fOr a Jealous performance Of a NOR
al sentiment that viii Danish every
CRATER and make him really as ev-
ierybOdy knows he should be a man

The Rise From Railway Messenger
Boy TO Assistant General Manager.
Topeka, June IA telegram from
Chicago says that William H Hobbs,
who has been general superintend-
ent OF transportation Of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad, has
been promoted to the position Of as
sistant to H L. Nudge, second vice
president, in charge Of operation. In
Topeka ii has been generally sup
posed that Mr.. Hobbs would be given
the place assigned TO Daniel Cain Sat
urday and his present advancement
was an unlocked for honor. Mr..
Hobbs Will Outrank the two general
managers appointed Saturday. The
Office OF general superintendent is
done away with Mr.. Hobbs will
handle the business Of this Office in
addition to his new duties. Mr..
Hobbs was born in Rochester, y. H,
in 1854 He began his railway serv-
ice as messenger boy for the Rock
Island in 1871. Later he had a pO-
sitiOn in the telegraph department
From that he climbed rapidly to be
chief train dispatcher, and in 1891 he
was advanced to general superfntend-
ent Of all lines east Of the Missouri
river, and very recently he was made

Gov. ROGH on PROHIgITION
HIS LETTERS To COUNTY ATTOR-
NEYs DISCUSSED.
II HOch Takes Up the Prohibition
Fight What VIII Become OF
Him Politically.

Topeka, June 12.-Some time ago
it was rumored that Governor HOch
had written letters to certain county
officials concerning the enforcement
Of the prOhibitory law The governor
would not talk about these rumOrs at
that time, but it has now developed
that the governor has apparently ad-
opted the letterwriting system in a
large number Of cases. 1t is his sys-
TEN to send a letter to both the sher-
in and county attorney in each county
where he has reason to believe there
is need for investigation
Governor HOch now admits that he
had been writing a good many letters
OF this kind, and expects TO write still
more Of them.
A prominent LeayenwOrth pOlitici-
an, in speaking Of the gOernOr's move
said:
What will it all amount to, any
way The governor has no power to
do anything. He is absolutely with
out legal authority in the matter. OF
course, I recognize that his moral in
fiuence, if exerted strongly toward
the enforcement Of the law, will have
considerable influence in some IOcali-
ties It will not affect LeavenwOrth
in the slightest degree"
Superintendent c. H. Luling Of the
state insurance department, a resid-
ent Of Wichita, says that if Governor
HOch orders the saloon in Wichita to
close up, they viii close
'As L understand the law" says Mr..
Luling, the governor has the author
ity to order the attorney general to
bring custer proceedings against any
county officials who fail to enforce
the law. Now, if the governor insists
upon it, it is certain that the saloons
in Wichita viii be closed.
Liquor is sure to be sold in Wichi-
Ia, and it is only a question Of how
it is sold. realize that Governor
HOch is in a very embarrassing posi-
ton. One crowd is trying to drive
him one way and the other crowd
another. He'll catch it whatever he
does
T. A. Noftzinger. who was in Tope-
ka last week, thinks that the COVER
nOr's attitude on the prOhibitOry Ques-
ton will result in his defeat for re-
nomination. In this Mr. Noftzinger
does not agree with W. Y. Morgan,
and several others. Mr.. Noftzinger
says:
Il see that events are going to 50
shape themselves in the future that
! Governor HOch will take up this pro-
hibitory fight that he will be defeated
for the denomination
Ex-Governor John P. St John OF
this state, who is now at Versailles
No. is taking a good deal Of pleasure
in throwing the harpoon at Governor
HOch every once in a while In a re-
cent letter he said:
The contrast touching the enforce
ment of law in Kansas City, Kan, un-
der Governor HOch, and Kanss City
in poor old Missouri, under Governor
Folk, reflects no credit upon Kansas. -

WILL BE GENERAL MANAGER.
Dan E. Cain Goes From Santa Fe to
Rock Island.


Topeka, June 13-H L. Nudge,
second vice president Of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad an
nOunced today the appointment of
Dan E Cain Of Topeka to be general
manager Of the Southwestern district
Of the road with headquarters in To-
peka- The appointment is effective
June Is. Mr. Cain is at present gen
eraI superintendent of the eastern
grand diisiOn Of the Santa Fe, with
headquarters in Topeka He has held
the position since May 1. Mr.. Nudge
Will be in Topeka this morning.
The appointment OF Mr.. Cain is the
result of Mr.. Mudge's decision to di-
vide the mileage Of the road into two
grand districts, one to be managed
from Chicago and the other from To-
peka- The appointment Of F. o..
Melcher to be general manager OF the
Northern district with headquarters
at Chicago, was also announced The
appointment Of a successor to Mr..
Cain as general superintendent Of the
Santa Fe has not been announced.
The Southwestern district Of the
road, which will be managed from
Topeka, comprises the main line from
Davenport to BeIIeville, the big Fort
Worth and FL PasO lines, the St.
Louis line and all branches in Kan
sas, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
The total mileage under Mr.. Gains
jurisdiction will be something over
5000 miles.
The lines in the new Northern dis
trict, which will be managed from
Chicago, Will be the Colorado north
ern main line through Omaha, Belle
vile and LimOn; the line north into
St Paul and Minneapolis; the line to
WatertOwn, South Dakota, and the
Des MOines lines.
F. q. Melcher, who will be general
manager Of the Northern district, is
at present general superintendent of
the ChOctaw district, with headquart-
ers at Little Rock. Ark Mr.. Melch-
er's new district comprises about
5000 miles of lines.
Under the new arrangement Mr..
Gains responsibility will be greater
than that Of Mr.. Welcher, as the big
California trains, running over the
Rock Island from Chicago to FL Paso,
are under the formers Jurisdiction
west Of Davenport
Mr. Mudge's decision to make To-
peka the headquarters for the man
agement Of two-thirds Of the entire
Rock Island system means much for
this city. It is naturally supposed
that the general passenger Office for
the Southwestern district, now Ioca-
ted in Kansas City, will be moved
here within a short time.
The appointment Of a man to sue
ceed Mr.. Cain as general superintend-
ent Of the Eastern grand division of
the Santa Fe will be announced soon,
probably next week. The Santa Fe
officials have no definite information
to give out about the matter at this
time

WILL POWERS INTERVENE?

Sweden and Norway are ike a
married couple who cannot get along.
and a divorce may be the best way
out Of the difficulty said T. A Lind
strand, editor Of the Swedish Ameri-
can and the Swedish World.
Norway has been making things
uncomfortable for Sweden for forty
years and more It seems to take an
unhOly Joy in making its sister coun-
try WretChed- Norway gets ali the
benefit out Of the union, and yet all
the time in ingratitude it has been
trying to effect a rupture
In 1914, when the treaty Of Kiel
was signed, four powerful nations
made promise that they would see
that the agreement was carried out.
Russia, Prussia, England and Austria
were the powers. and the situation is
such that these nations would per
haps intervene II the trouble becomes
too pronounced.
In Norway there has been a clique
OF men each Of whom has been anxf-
Gus to become president Of a republic
The literary men, such as Ibsen and
BjOrnsOn and others, perhaps have
had personal abmitiOn as the guiding
star in stirring up dissension.
Then believe that much OF the
QuaFreling has been caused BY differ
ences in temperament The NOFwegi-
ans are from the mountains, quick,
energetic, fiery. impulsive. headstrong
ia their dispositions The Swedish
are slower, conservative, caimer, more
inclined to take things coolly. This
difference in temperament perhaps
has made the two nations as a mar
RED couple get along poorly.
Although the union has made
Sweden Wretched, in itself it has been
a good thing. Norway has been q
burden on the nation, a miflstone tied
to the neck, q yoke, but one must not
lose sight OF the fact that united the
two nations are strong; divided they

W. T. Logan, editor Of the Selden

ball game between the local team and
Colby. Concerning GOOdland, Mr..
Logan says in his paper:
"On Tuesday in company with our
son, Merle, we took a day off and
went to GOodland to witness a ball
game between the Colby and Good
land teams 1t was a fairly good
game and was won by Colby in a
score Of too. This was our first
visit to GOOdland, and we were well
pleased with the town and the en-
tertainment we received. We called
at the GOOdland State Bank, where
we found Ira Wolfe and J. W. Tibbles
who gave US a cordial handshake.
They have neat comfortable quarters
in a new brick building on one Of the
best business corners in the town, and
appear to be getting their share Of
business. We also called at The Re
public Office and watched their limo

National bank, pleaded not guilty to-
day to an indictment containing thir-
teen counts.
The counts contained in the indict-
