We have been asked why we are
for McNeill as against Dunbar.
The persons asking the question
are entitled to an answer. Here
it is: We believe it is to the best
interests of the taxpayers of the
county to elect Mr.. McNeill
Judge for the reason that he will
be more economical Judge than
Mr.. Dunbar. He is more ener-
getic;. he does things. Mr.. Nc
Neill has proven while on the
bench that he will not delay mat
tiers. He pushes things. Law
yers are not permitted to kill
time, to the expense of the tax
payers. Mr.. McNeill is just as
good a lawyer as Mr.. Dunbar, no
better, perhaps, but just as good.
We have no hard words for Mr..
Dunbar So far as we know he
is perfect gentleman, but he is
too slow. In this day and age
we want men in Office who do
things, and do not kill time. Of
course, we do not forget that Mr..
Dunbar rendered a damnable de-
cision against this city one time
when he was referee in the case
of Alexander Warner versus the
City of Baxter Springs, and that
that decision cost this city some
thing like FIVE thousand dollars.
Being acquainted with the facts
in the case, we know that the
decision was nothing more than
a bare faced robbery. We do not
say that Mr.. Dunbar pro6ted by
the decision. On the contrary
he did not, but if Mr.. Dunbar
had been fair enough or energetic
to have heard Baxter
Springs side Of the story the de-
rision would surely have been
different. We also remember

 Colon.
 Washington, July 5.--Receivinz for nal notice today from the State De- partment that the Panama elections be- ing safely passed without considerable disorder. there was no longer occasion for the continuance of the cruiser Co., lumbia in the harbor of Colon. the navy department today cabled orders to the commander of that ship to sail for Guantanamo where she will take on coal and then proceed to santo Do- minRo.
 As indicated by Secretary Root last week it Is the intention of the author ities here to take all proper precau- tions to prevent an uprising in Santo Domingo that would teopardize Ameri- can interests which. of course. Involves the protection of the system of c,is- tom house control which has obtained for the past year.
 The Mayhower. commonly known as the Presidents yacht. but really q very efficient gunboat has been ordered to San Domingo and she is to be joined by the Dixie with number Of marines aboard and later on by the Tacoma. The result will be that an American man-of- war will be in every harbor of Santo Domingo where there is a cus- tom house with an American collector installed.

ACT AS PEACEMAKER
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
 UNIFIED STATES.
GuatemaIn and snIvnaer Are At Odds And Uncle sam May sten in to
 Prevent Open Efossiiitfes.

Washington. July s---Again the Unit ed States will probably figure as a peacemaker. Guatemala and Salvador are making overtures for the arbitra- tion of their troubles resulting from the alleged activity of Salvador in sup port of the revolutionary movement against Cabrera of Guatemala and 1t is likely that the United States will be selected as the country in which the Board of Arbitration will meet
 The state department has been ad- vfsed of the desire of the two coun- tries, which are almost at the point of making war against each other, to have their differences settled by arbi- tration and although formal negotia- seems to be but little doubt that an amicable settlement will be effected.
 With the first intimation of outside interference in Guatemalan affairs the state department sent the Marblehead from Panama to prevent meddling and Mexico and the United States made 1t clear that they would look with dis favor upon any combination of Central American powers to overthrow Pres ident Cabrera. When the position of the United States became clear Salva- dor announced the appointment of J. R. Pacus as a special envoy to pre-. sent the Salvadorean position to the American authorities and prevent any serious international complications. The state department has been advised of the department of Mir. Pacus for this country.
 Guatemala has complained bitterly to the United States of the conduct of Salvador and charges that the latter government has taken every means to forward the cause of revolutionary general Barilias. and to hasten the downfall of President Cabrera. It is charged that Salvador not only winked at all expeditions which crossed her boundary into Guatemalan territory. but actually sent troops into Guatema- la and committed many acts which can not be regarded as less than the inva- sion of the territory of friendly power

NICHOLAS Is PRocREssINe.
Issues orders Which Are Unprecedented
 in Their Intent

St Petersburg. July 6.-Emperor Nicholas has taken the almost unpre- cedented step of publicly directing Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch. Commander of the forces in the mili- tary district of st. ePtersburg to inves- tigate and take measures to stop the disorders. relieving Prince assilchi- Koff. commander of the guard corps General Ozeroff commander of the first guard division. and General Gadon, commander of the Preobrajensky reg iment. the first battalion of which was recently disgraced for expressing sym pathy with parliament and protesting against doing police duty Gadon Is said to be a descendant of an American named Gordon, the name having been Russianized by lapse of time.
 All attempts to purge the army of the spirit of disloyalty. now that 1t has bavaded the pampered regiments of the @uard will however. probably prove futile No isolation of troops will any longer suffer to prevent the spread of the contagion. While the majority of the troops prooaDly are IaltnIul. the of the government Is proceeding very rapidiy The revolutionists are re- ioicinr at the success of what they regard as being the final phase of the work of preparing for the coming rev. olution.
 A IufLnST GXIGH6AoAA UA tuO A6 t0n disorder, accompanied by the burning of a manor house Is reported today from the province of Penza, Kamentz- podolsk and Poltava and the districts of Aogoroditsk and at Karsk. The Zemtsvo of the province of Tula Is bankrupt owing to the refusal of the peasants to pay their taxes
 The members of the group of toll in parIiament are secretly elaborating a pian to force matters to head. As inc first step they propose that the lower House adopt a resolution declar- ing the country Is not bound to pay its obligations to the government so long as the emperor refuses to yield to the demands of parliament If the constitutional Democrats decline to join them In the program of repudiat- ing the group of toll propose to issue a manifesto to the country. Their pur- pose plainly Is to compel the govern rrent to attempt to dissolve parliament and thus force a rupture

Dreyfus Convicted Be-
 cause He is a Jew.
ARGUMENT OF MAITRE MONARD
Anti -Semitism Responsible for the
 Captains Disgrace.
Witness Committed Forsery and Per- jury in Order to Bring About Coaaemnation of the I-raeiite
 0mcer.

Paris. July 5.--In his argument for q re-opening of the Dreyfus Case to- day Maitro Monard gave a new phase to the proceedings by cutting loose from historical detail and asserting that anti-Semitic hatred had been the primary cause of a miscarriage of jus tice He argued that Dreyfus had been convicted not as an individual officer but because he was Jew. Even be- fore the chrge of treason first arose. anti-Semitism had reigned supreme not only in military circles but in the whole of France. The idea of the superior officers at that time was to exclude JsraeIites from the higher military grades. the same as has been done in Germany.
 However. the continuous and unius- tified attempts of leading generals to prevented Dreyfus from becoming a member Of the army stan were unsuc- cessful Dreyfus passed brilliant ex- aminations lr the sfaF college and on- tered the ministry of war. There he found fanatical antf-Semitism equally rampant His brother officers treated him from the beginning as likely to be d traitor. Every act of his was re- garded with suspicion merely because he was an Israelite.
 Eventually. when the affair of trea- son occurred. the resemblance of hand writing was regarded as sufficient proof of guilt la the case both at the first trial and the revision by the military judges, the witnesses started out with the fixed Idea that. being Jew, D-ey- fus necessarily was a traitor. The witnesses did not hesitate to suppress evidence In his favor and even commit ted forgeries In order to establish hts guilt NJ. Monard. however. said he relied upon the present judges to act without bias and 1uash the verdict without a retriai.

MT. Taggart Says It is l Preposterous.
DEMAND DUE TO W. R. HEARST
National Chairman Not Liked by
 the New Yorker.
Taggart Declares There Has Been No Gambling Cou.tensnced by His Hotel Compauy---ouster Cases
 Now Pending.

Bremen Lick springs. Ind, July 5.--- Thomas Taggart. chairman of the Democratic National Committee today gave the Associated Press the follow ing statement made in reply to tho demand made by The New York World that he resign the national ehairman- ship of the Democratic Committees.
 The New York World has allowed itself to be imposed upon by the false and seandalous publications Of ri- val newspaper whose editor is my per- sonAl enemy for reasons best known to himself.
 There has been no raid nor att tempted raid upon the French Lick Springs Hotel. nor has such q thing been thought of save by Mir. Hearst and his correspondents.
 "A building owned by the French Lick Springs Company, wholly discon~ nected from the hotel property waa leased to party to be used for bil- lizards and bowling alleys with strong clause against gambling in the lease After a time. this tenant permitted gambling. We brought suit for poH- session on account of the breach Of provision In the lease and recovered Judgment. He appealed the case and it Is now pending for trial in the present term of court The State authorities have supplemented our efforts to re- cover possession by raiding that build- ing and that Is all there is to the grossly sensational publications in which The World has placed credence.
 VIII Not Tolerate samblinM.
 "The French Lick Springs Hotel Company has not and will not tolerate gambling in any form on Its premises. This Is attested by the court records which show our efforts to suppress 1t and 1t is well known to Mir. Hearst. who with such knowledge continues the publication of his vindietive and iibeious falsehoods. l regret that The World has seen fit to dignify these atrocious falsehoods by editorial mon tion.
 sThe proposition that I should re- sign Is preposteroua. 1t deserves and will receive no attention.
 TT. TaKgart."
 It Is stated by Antimate friends of Mir Taggart who are NuthoFized 70 speak for him shat MT. TAgEart at> tributes the enmity of Mir. Hearst to- the fact that June the Indiana Demo cratic State Convention unanimously endorsed W. J. Bryan for the presid ,n- tial nomination and Mir. Hearst attrsb- utes this action to the influence of National Chairman Tasgart.

 Hotel Companies.


 Paoii. Ind, July 5.---Judge Thomas Buskirk today granted contlnuance of the French Lick and West Baden Hotel case. until July 1s on the request of the hotel companies. which was ace corded to them by Attorney General Miller on the promise that in the mean time no gambling would be allowed at either place.
 Fifty additional affidavits were filed by the State today against the eleven attendants Of the Casinos arrested when the raids were made. The total number of afiadavits is now seventy two.
 John W. Kearn of counsel for the ho~ tel companies during the argument to- day called attention to the damage that had been done to the two proper ties valued at S2,O0o.000 on account of the publication of the raids and in- sisted that the hotel companies had no control of the Casinos whatever--that the Casinos had been leased to third persons for a term of years and after the leases had been signed the hotel companies had brought suit to cancel these leases upon the finding that gambling was being allowed in the Casinos and that these suits are now pending.
