employe of Mena, the fallen dictator
recently captured and taken to Pana
ma for exile.
Though the lives of American ma
rines have been lost and others have
been wounded in what appears to have
been one of the most sanguinary bat
ties fought in Central America in many
years, yet technically the United
States is not engaged in war;
The admiral has strictly refraineo
from intervening in any way between
the warning factions In Nicaragua and
has confined himself entirely to open
ing up railway communication and
maintaining II free from interruption
that the large foreign element scat
tered through the Nicaraguan towns
might be able to receive food.
For nearly a week after the Ameri
can forces managed to open the way
from Managua to Granada, where the

Admiral Switzerland had several In
terviews with the rebel chieftain after
the surrender and deportation of Gen
eral Mena, the principal figure In the
revolution, but he found that zeledon
was not only determined to refuse
any offer of amnesty held out by Pres
ident Diaz, but was determined to re-
tain the position he occupied threat
ening the railroad.
The admiral was finally obliged tc
deliver an ultimatum, warning Zele

undertake to drive him from Barranca
hills.

Clark and Patent Medicine.

1t is hardly fair to call Speaker
Clark, candidate fey the democratic
presidential nomination. "a patent
medicine statesman" He is man OF
education and character, and has hosts
Of reputable friends Unfortunately, he
is superficial. easy. soft and deficient
In discretion.
These qualities betrayed him into
giving TESTIMONIAL to a patent
medicine agent, whose persistent and
persuasive efforts 1t is not hard to
imagine. Mr.. Clark stated that at the
end Of congressional campaign he
had about utterly collapsed" and that
three bottles" Of a certain mixture
had made him all right"
We have no doubt Mr.. Clark told the
truth as he saw It. In addition to the
patent medicine, of course, he enjoyed
rest, sleep and peace Of mind-sweet
restorers all. He did not stop to think
about the exact value Of these. And
that Is the trouble with Mr.. Clark
he doesn't stop to think. Hence his

Choosing a president would seem to
be an &C. in which the people Of the
United States are educated enough to
play part. There has been much dis
pute at Chicago about legality, but that
is no. the most important question
Whether or not delegations were elect
ed from certain states makes little Tif-
ference. Those legally elected under
some primary laws represent in no de-
gree the voters OF the party The time
has passed when the so-calied CON-
mon people Of the nation will remain
comfortable under primary laws which
give them no part in government II
the parties themselves do not reform
their methods Of selecting delegates,
the reform will be forced upon them
BY 1915 there will have taken place
such changes in nomination machinery
that such a fight as has been going on
in the republican party will be impos-
sible II two-thirds or three-fourths OF
the party wishes one man for prosi-
cent, it will by 1915 be Joke for an
other man, whom less than quarter
desire. to gain his principal strength
thru the sheer will Of politicians.
There are plenty Of alarming things IN
this universe, but one thing which
causes US no terror whatever is the
substitution of the will OF an enlignt-
ened community, accustomed to dis
cussion and In possession OF the facts,

PASSING THEM en-.

Constable Warren Criswen had 4
terrible battle with John Sheets in the
city jail Saturday night and both men
are bearing the results OF the encoun-
ter today. Sheets. who has given the
officers more or less trouble OF late, at
tackled Criswell with knife and 1t was
not until li.- officer had drawn his gun
that the fellow came to his senses. He
was aned SIS before Justice Nosler
next morning but on his promise TO
leave the city Immediately, was re-
Courier.
Perhaps that was an easy way TO
get -i5 OF John Sheets who carries a
knife and the desire TO insert II into
police officers and others who inter
.ere with his conceptions OF personal
liberty" But even at that it amounts
TO utter indifference OF ignorance OF
law and the reason for laws.
Just why should an Ottumwa justice
assume TO dismiss criminal who had
made assault with a deadly weapon
under consideration of promise to
lake himself and his criminal activ-
tiles outside the corporation where this
Justice court dispenses its brand OF
iusticeo The statute made and pro-
vided for cases like that o. John
Sheets scarcely contemplates among
the powers OF the police justice tbs
power to amend and suspend state
laws, And at any rate there can bs
no justification Of the sending out IN
punished 70 raise cain and stick
knives into other persons il other com
r1unir,es. It is not punishment TO be
sen, away from Or-umwa.
The ottumwa justice plays Solom on
with a lot Of reverse English.
