CONSTITUTING A PLATFORM

Within a few hours after the recent
Republican state convention had ad-
journed, its candidate for governor,
Frank B. Willis, issued formal state
ment in which he undertook to con-
strue the meaning of the booze" plank
of the platform. 1t was the most ridic-
ulous and unheard-of act that has ever
been witnessed in Ohio politics. But
the booze" plank is not the only one
that needs TO be construed. A gentle
man by the name of Thomas C. Kelly.
residing down at Macarthur, in VintOn
county, has taken his pen in hand, and
in a communication in the Columbus
Dispatch of Wednesday, has undertak
zen to construe several of the planks of
the very remarkable document. Mr.
Kellys communication Is very illumin
ating and informing, and he has given
the Republican platform a meaning
that will render it the more readily
understood. MIR. Kelly's communica-
tion is very valuable addition to the
political literature of the campaign.
and 1t will also be of great assistance
TO all those citizens of Ohio, especial
~ Republicans, who have been crop
ing around In the dark as to the true
meaning of the Republican platform,
as every one who reads Mr.. Kehy's
communication will agree. Here II IL
A PLATFORM INTERPRETED
TO the Editor of The Dispatch:
Sir; The following version of few
of the planks of the standpat state
platform will render their true mean
ing more clearly intelligible;
We reafiirm our adherence to all the
sreactionary principles and special in
terestfavoring practices which led TO

We maintain that all we ever did
was right, expedlent and profitable for

rs MILLION GAIN BY TICK
ERADICATION METHOD

In 1910 Mississippi had l. .l20. .632
head of cattle. valued at Sis, 1863, :
364. an average of $l5 head. In
1912 there were 2,100, 900 head and
$500 dipping watts in the state.
A normal increase should bring
the herds up to 2.967, ,l60 head, and
with the entire state freed from
quarantine the value of Mississip-
pPs cattle should not be less than
$50 head, or total of $89, 9,0l4,- :
800.
Deduct SIS. 269. 1854 and you have
$73, ,745. 436
1t is thus estimated that Mississ-
ippi will have gained almost $75.-
600, 600 in material wealth when
tick eradication shall have had its
perfect day.

Election for Tick Eradication.

1t will be seen by referring to
the proceedings of the Board of
Supervisors that an election on tick
eradication has been ordered. 1t
will take place on the day of the
August primary and the cost will
be small. The Board of Supervis-
ors knows the people of Lincoln
county. believes III the initiative
and referendum and has the spirit
of the times that the people shall
control their own affairs.
Along with the notation by Clerk
McNair and President Brister
comes the record of the vote
against the election Of Mr.. C. C..
Coleman, one of the most thought
full and conscientious men On the
Board. MIR. Coleman is the kind
of man that arouses thought; and
after his fellows have pondered the
position taken and voted against
him, perhaps, Mr.. Coleman and
men like him stand up bravely and
submit to the majority like the
true Democrats they all are, while
they are generally commended for
their independent thought and
willingness to be convinced if they
are in error.
Meantime. The Leader does not
want Lincoln county to feel it is
driven into the procession because
its neighbors are in it. We are CO.
ing to take particular pains to so
inform our people that they will be
convinced, if SO be, that those who
haven't t had to pull the beIl-cord
over old Beck, but have had more
time to study our situation while
we have toiIed under difficulty,
have learned facts that command
our fealty and that hold our future
interests
The scientist is the universal
Minister to modern life. The
woman member of the Wisconsin
University who recently addressed
500 farmers wives. instructing
them in the art Of millinery and
showing them how to make over
their old hats to rival the Paris
creations. was a scientist! The

Holly Springs, Miss. June A.
In the liquidation of the Peoples S

bank paper which the examiner
would not approve, according TO a
statement made today by w. b.

employed experts from the audit
ing firm of Leatham & Co., Of
Memphis, to make complete
audit of the books of the bank
from its organization to date.
The auditors are working on the
books day and night, and as soon
as their report is complete a full
statement of the banks condition
Will be made.
Mr.. Bradbetry says he is encour
aged in the hope that the depositors
will be paid in full, inasmuch as

funct bank, has said that not one
cent of the $4,000 or more which
he and his family have on deposit
will be drawn out until the deposi-
tors are paid In full.
1t is further stated that nothing
has developed so far to indicate any
shortage on the part of Cashier
Will G. Neill, Jr.. who committed
suicide the day the bank closed.
Bad loans. and loans net sufi-
ciently secured, are given by Mr..
Bradberry as the cause for the

LETTER CAVES MAk,s LIFE.
Sioux City Man Writes 10. Attorney
Before A$ten1ptjnu Life.

Sioux City. April 25-After sending a
special delivery letter to his attorney,
A. ]. Holbroek attempted to take his
life in a room at the Chicago house.
Attorney Foster 6. Iddings. who has
known Holbrook from childhood, re-
ceived an incoherent special delivery
letter at his home in Morning Side. Mr..
1ddings was able to decipher the name
and the address, and from the appear
ance Of the letter concluded something
was wrong. He hurried to the hotel,
arriving just in time to prevent Hol-
brook from taking his life.
Holbrook had tied one end OF the
fire rope to the bed and was trying to
strangle himself when the door was
broken open. The police were called
and Holbrook was taken to headquar-
tiers where he was detained until he
could be turned over to the county au-
thorities.
The letter to Iddings, together with
letter Of farewell. written on an err
velope, will be used as evidence when
Holbrook is arraigned before the in
sanity board.
Mrs. Holbrook stated that her hus-
band had been brooding over The death
of his mother, Mrs. Bertha Holbrool.
who was drowned in the Missouri river
a year ago. They have, been living at
Oswego.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 25.-Telephone in
terests are seeking to get in under the
Iowa municipalities by way Of the
federal court entrance
A case is being heard this week be-
fore Judge Mcpherson a; Keokuk
which, although it applies only to that
city. has features that would affect
the entire situation in Iowa as to the
rights Of phone companies in the
streets of cities and towns. In the
Keokuk case Judge Sloan, as referee,
held that the Iowa company had per-
petual rights in the streets and could
not be ousted. because it acquired
rights under the old statute before
cities were empowered to grant
franchises. The hearing was on this
report w. z. Miller, for the telephone
company. went from here to argue in
support of the masters rulings.
Old Fight Over Again.
1t is the old fight over again that
was ground through the Iowa supreme
court in the cases from Washta and
Vail The phone companies claim that
the highways referred to in the old
statute include all town streets. They
also claim that all the cities can do is
to regulate" as to poles and wires but
not to forbid a company running it's
wires all over the towns and cities. The
cities claim, and the Iowa court has
upheld this view. that the power to
regulate includes the power to forbid
the use Of the streets
That Judge Mcpherson will have to
be shown before he decides with his
master was indicated by the fact that
he, during the argument, questioned
Attorney Miller and drew forth the
amazing claim that while city or
town might vacate its own streets and
alleys it couldn't compel telephone
company to take out its poles.
II the court should uphold the rul-
ings of the matter it would vitality dis
pose Of telephone franchises in all the
cities and towns Of Iowa and make 1t
wholly unnecessary for any company
to ask any privileges Of the cities.
Des Moines has a case pending on this
question.

w. Quinn, F. r. thinner, who were In
the automobile. The railway car and
the automobile were both going at a
fair rate Of speed. and as there was
no fagman on the crossing the auto
mobile driver thought It would be safe
to cross. Just as the car got onto
the rails. the motor was upon them,
striking the rear wheels OF the auto
mobile and breaking them rs we'll as
