THE EFFECT

! n z lETfESIs
From the Cedar Rapids Gazette.)
The question is everywhere asked:
What effect will the shooting of
Roosevelt have on his chances?
1t is more than possible that it will
have no bearing on the result We
believe the voters will elect Woodrow
Wilson, and that nothing which has
happened, or which is likely to hap
pen, will change that outcome to
something else.
That the incident at Milwaukee viii
increase the voting strength OF the
bull moose candidate can hardly be
doubted 1t has turned some votes
to him. And in places where the
strength appears to be wanting, it will
have the effect Of solidifying his sup
port. ~
But it can have no material effect
on the result. Z"

Mr.. Barnard further states that of
three real-for-sure beers examined,
one contained arsenic. That's a case,
not of mixed drinks exactly, but of
mixed poisons. That particular brew

hurry to kill off his patrons.

quently referred to in a contemptuous
way as being antiquated; yet the man
who does not possess a moral con-
viction that the rum traffic is not only
inexpedient but wrong is not made of
the stuff that will be in at the finish
of the iniquity. Moral suasion is not
yet out of date, either as applied to
the drunkard or to the citizen who
must be won to the cause of saloon
destruction.
The Swearing off, season is almost
here. But what about the Swearing
on" season? Many man gets tired
of drink and determines to quit, but
fails to grasp the blessings that So
briefly inherits If men could be
pledged to sobriety for its own sake,
and therefore to positive act instead
of to the mere negative act of self
denial, New Year resolutions would
become more effective.
The seventh annual report of H. E.
Barnard, the state food and drug COM
missioner of Indiana, recites the fact
that during the year "Forty-three So
called temperance beers were exam
ined and thirty-two of them, or 74.4
per cent, were illegal because they
contained enough alcohol to make
them inebriating." How cruel of you,
Mr.. Barnard! Are you not aware that
no beer of any kind is Intoxicating
and that all beers are food? Why,
the brewers themselves admit it.

Another advantage in having effici
ent county, town and local organiza-
ton of the temperance forces is that
when a state Anti-Saloon League
makes political recommendations in
stead of the public regarding it as the
unwarranted meddling of an outside
influence the advice will be more read
lily needed, because the agency would
have working force in each COM
munity that is vital part, not only
of a great state, but of local interests

THE BULGARIAN
QUEEN COMING
EleOnOra'S Visitto United States
Set for May.
WILL HAVE A LARGE PARTY
She viii Be the First Reignine
Sovereign Ever To Come To This
country-LlkeIy To Embark
On the l~mperator.

Sofia.-lt has been definitely decided
that Queen Eleonora of Bulgaria, &C
companied by an extensive suite, will
visit the United States next May. The
trip will probably be begun about the
middle Of May and it will last six or
eight weeks. Details of the length OF
the stay of the Queen and her en-
tourage in America and the itinerary
Of the trip are o being worked out.
During her stay in the United States
the Queen hopes to deliver a series of
lectures in the principal cities with the
object Of placing before the American
public the real position of Bulgaria re-
garding the late war. She will also
make an appeal for help in behalf of
the thousands of refugees now starry
ing In Bulgaria. A representative of
the Queen will leave for New York
within the next few days to arrange
details.
The visit Is the result Of the deep in
terest in the United States which King
Ferdinand and Queen Eleonora have
long held and which has been strength
ened by the close association Of the
King and Queen with the American
surgeons who were in charge of the
Bulgarian hospitals during the recent
war.
Tt was at first reported that King
Ferdinand himself proposed to visit
the United States in 1915, but the
Queens intense desire to make the
trip, coupled with the fact that her
visit will relieve the United States of
the diplomatic embarrassments OF a
state visit from an actual reigning
monarch, resulted in her wish being
granted.
1t is probable that Queen Eleonora
will proceed from Sofia to Hamburg as
a German princess. There she will
embark, II her arrangements will fit in,
on the steamship Imperator. The suite
of Queen Eleonora will include, in ad-
dition to some diplomatists, aides-de-
camp from the smartest guard Tegi-
ments and ladies in waiting, who will
wear their picturesque native cos
tunes.
Queen Eleonora will be the first
.reigning sovereign of Europe to visit
the United States.

WANTS RANGERS

Texan Governor Stirred by
Latest Mexican Outrage.
AN ERICAN KIDNAPP D
Cameron County Citizens Appeal To
tho Governor For Protection
Against Mexican
Marauders.

Austin, TeI.-Reports OF new dis
orders along the Mexican border, in.
GLIDING the attempted kidnapping OF an
American citizens by Ave Mexicans,
caused Governor o. B. Colquitt to order
the ranger force recruited with men
who can shoot"
81 have instructed Captain Hughes
TO look for lore men suited for the
ranger service. My instructions to
him are to get men who can shoot and
will shoot when necessary" said Gov
ernor Colquitt.
Captain Hughes commands the
ranger force, which has headquarters
at R~aymondyille, Cameron county, in
the extreme southeastern section of
the State. Brownsville, opposite Mata-
mores. Mexico, is the county seat.
Cameron county citizens asked the
Governor for protection. Several fill
clustering expeditions have been re-
ported this week operating along that
part Of the Texas border.
Two kilograms formed the basis of
the Governors action In ordering the
Ranger force increased. The first re.
ported the kidnapping OF an Ameri-
can, Charles Ballard, by Ave Mexicans,
near Garlic Springs. The second was
the petition from Cameron county citi-
zens.
Ballard was tied by the Mexicans
and hustled to the border, according to
the report made to the Governor, but
while the party was crossing the Rio
Grande, he cut the rope which held
him and escaped by diving. Billiards.
captors shot at him without effect sew
eral times and then made good their
escape. Sheriff Gardner, of Dimmitt
county, went In pursuit with a posse,
and the rangers and United States
Army border patrol also began a search
for the men, but they were thought to
have escaped into Mexico.
The Cameron county petition de-
clared murder and robbery are being
committed freely" and appealed for
Ranger protection. The killing of two
men, in both instances wealthy Mexi-
cans, was cited.
The kidnapping was reported by w.
T. Kardner, sheriff of Dimmit county,
Of which Garlic Springs is the county
seat. The town is about 35 miles from
the border.

Flood Warming Sent Out.

No reasons exist for entertaining
fears Of a serious food along any of
the streams in the State, but a warn
ing was issued to the S%usquehanna
River basin, nevertheless, by the
United States Weather Bureau. 1t is
not such a bulletin as to arouse alarm.
Colder weather is forecast, which will
have a tendency to check the run-off
water from the thaw. 1T would be
the prudent course for those having
property along the stream subject to
injury from high water and ice to
safeguard it," reads the warning from
the local weather bureau, which illus.
trates how ticklish the situation is
and depends entirely on warm rains
holding off at a season when warm
rains are to be expected.
