BARTHOLDT HITS CONGRESS
sylvania Germans That Personal Liberty Is in Danger.

Johnstown, Pa. June IT, Members of congress were sharply arraigned by Representative Bartholdt of Mis- souri in a speech at the German day celebration for their alleged attitude toward prohibition and other sumptu- ary legislation He took for his text Personal Liberty" and called on all liberal" citizens to join in a fight to offset the Puritan cause"
 Are you aware that the last con gress, composed of Democratic house and Republican senate" he de- manded, passed prohibition meas ure by more than two-thirds major ity; and that the lawyers, who consti- tute S5 per cent of the membership, knew it was unconstitutional, and voted for it anyhow? It is fact.
 President Taft, true to his oath to defend the legislation, had the cour- age to veto the bill, but the same two thirds majority, although they had taken exactly the same oath as the president, passed it over his veto.
 When things have come to such a pass that responsible lawmakers will overthrow the constitution for pop ular fad, do you not agree with me that your liberties, for which the con stitution is our guarantee, are in the greatest possible danger?"

URGE WILSON ID VETO BILL
EXEMPTION OF FARMERS AND
 LABoRERS OBJECTED TO.
National Council for Industrial De. fense Presents Petition Against
 Sundry Civil Measure.

Washington, June IA petition has been filed with President Wilson by Chairman J. J. Kirby, Jr., of the National Council for Industrial De fense, urging him to veto the sundry civil bill because of the clause forbid ding the use of public funds for the enforcement against laborers' and farmers unions of the provisions of the Sherman antitrust act
 The petitioners represent that they are acting in behalf of 270 national, state and local organizations, having membership of approximately POO 000 business men, merchants, manufacturers and distributors en. gagged in every form of interstate commerce. They are primarily con cerned in maintaining unimpaired the freedom and legal protection of the trader not only from corporate com binations and monopolies which may and have controlled the production, sale and distribution of commodities but from combinations and confedera- tions of labor organizations, which have displayed in the past and may in the future exercise the power to para lyZe communication, interdict custom and prevent the employment of non. members of the combination as a means of compelling the acceptance of it's demands, whether just or un- just"

RAILROADS GIVE
 RATE REDUCTION

It will be of interest to the far. mers in this county to learn that the Iron Mountain railroad has established a new schedule of much reduced rates on stock yard manure from St. Louis, East St. Louis, Kansas City and Memphis to Arkansas points.
 Memphis is the nearest roint to this county and the rates are based on a minimum of 50,00O pounds per nanure car will be $25.OO.
 In letter to MT. A. A. Cor don of this city, Commissioner Markham, of the Iron Mountain says: T think from my inves. tigation that it is safe to say the farmers of Arkansas can obtain at least 10000 car loads of this manure per year if they want it. It does seem that those living within convenient distance of rail. way stations, especially those having old poor lands would take advantage of this opportunity
 If the farmers will order this manure this summer when it is easy for the shippers to get coal cars for their use. they can get it loaded from S4.OO to $500 per car. There is no charge for the manure and if yon order it right away it will have time to rot and become much improved by next winter.
 It is estimated that a farmer living Within three milss of a railroad will make clear profit of $1.50 to $1.90 per ton on it. In these calculations the plant food is based at $2. 50 and the humus at $1.50.
 We believe this matter is worth looking into. This manure is what large nun Der of our farms need and if you care to learn more about it address letter o1 inquiry to A. A. Gordon, Prescott Arkansas, and he will gladly give you the information.

 Sullens, who was employed occa. years old.
 Miss Holt had been spending scv- eral nights with schoolgirl friends preparing for the commencement ex- ercises, and her absence from home that night did not cause uneasiness to her brother and two sisters, all of whom are younger than she. When she did not return home early the next morning a telephone search was begun, and personal search had been started when the neighbors found the girl.
 Dorothy was member of the sen- for class of the high school.

Story Of Tragedy for Which
1haW Was Committed
After Long Trial

Matteawan, N. Y, Aug. 19.-Harry
X Thaw, slayer of Stanford White,
has escaped from the hospital for
the criminal insane here. He dart
ed for liberty through an open gate,
dashed into the open door of a pow
erful automobile that stood on the
curbing outside and flew like rock
ct for the Connecticut state line, 80
miles away, accomplishing his es-
cape.
Tonight he was still at large and
hospital authorities felt certain he
was outside the state. Once beyond
its boundaries lhaw is free. Only
perhaps years Of litigation can bring
him back and then only in the one
event that he will be Judged insane
in the state to which he fled.
The theatrical escape Of ThaW
from the state hospital for criminal
insane recalls the sensational trag
edy which had its beginning in New
York City on the night. of June IS,
1906. In company with his young
wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, heand two
friends went to Madison Square root
garden to witness the opening POI.
formances of a musical comedy.
Fired Three Shots.
Near the close of the performances
Thaw left his seat and began to pace
back and forth in the aisle behind the
seat occupied by Stanford White.
