have been cited and quoted to show
some of the things they reveal. The
Committee can show more but time
and space forbids it now. Enough
has been shown to convince you that
some extravaganza must be stopped
or High Taxes will continue.
= The Committee will not spring any
thing new at this time. Enough has
been shown from the records to show
that Extravaganza has existed and
does exist. So don't be fooled. Look
up the record for yourself. The
record is what counts and not what
Roorbacks say.

Mr.. Stephens False Reasoning

What is wrong with Mr.. Stephens
defense? 1t consists in confounding
the duties of a lawyer with those of
a lobbyist. Lobbying is no part of a
lawyers duties. He has no right to
sell his influence and skill, to lobby
for any special interests against the
people. Our readers we'll know what
a hard fight the people in this state
have had to secure legitimate legisla-
tion in regard to any matter opposed
by the railroad lobby You will re-
call how the railroads fought all
reforms-the Headlight bill, enacted
to save life-safety appliance de-
manded by train men and the people
generally to save life-how they
fought the fellow servant law, enact
ed to give the railroad boys fair
chance for some compensation if they
were injured, and some provision for
their families if they were killed.
Lobbying for interests which have
taken their stand against the people
in such matters is not like taking
case for a client. No lawyer, no man
can sell his influence to aid rail
road company or any other institu-
tion to defeat just laws, and no law
yer can engage himself as lobbyist
for such an institution when the
institution is engaged in fighting such
measures without placing himself in
a position to be criticised. Mr.. Steph-
ems registered as lobbyist for interests
that We're then fighting just measures
demanded by the people, laws of such
manifest justice and necessity that the
people strove year after year until they
were finally written on the statute
books in spite of the railroads and other
l.

NOT MALICE BUT ECON
OMY AND EFFICIENCY

That the record might be kent
straight, the Executive Committee of
the Republican Majority Proposal
Committee for Hughes County desire
to state that this campaign, now
about to close, has not been conduct
ed in any spirit of malice or revenge,
but for the sake of greater economy
and efficiency in county matters.
1t is very evident from the records
exposed that our county expenditures
have been needlessly high and ex-
travagant. High Taxes alone con-
vince the taxpayer that something is
wrong, and that this should be cor
rected. What is wrong and where
the blame rests is best revealed by
the public records.
1t was with the idea of injecting
greater economy and efficiency into
our county affairs that the Republi.
can Majority Proposal Committee for
Hughes County, at the request of
their constituents, put a ticket in the
held pledged to economy and effici-
ency in our county affairs.
And SO to show the Taxpayer and
Voter that county extravaganza is a
fact and really exists, it became
necessary to show up the records as
they are found at the Court House.
When these were gone into it was
discovered that matters are really
worse on the score of extravaganza
than was at first thought. Indeed,
the record is such that thorough in
vestigation should be made, so as to
eliminate all needless extravaganza,
and thereby cut down our High Taxes.
All the figures given can be verified.
The public records are an open book.
Every figure quoted is essentially cor
rect. Just go to the records and see
for yourself. Take no man g word
for it. Go to the records direct.
Then as you recall the thousands
upon thousands of dollars spent for
county bridges and culverts, printing
bills and supplies, salaries, fees, tax
matter, bond matter, etc, do you
wonder Why Taxes Are High2 Do
you wonder that Thoughtful men and
Taxpayers should want to put a ticket
in the field pledged to Economy and
Efficiency? Do you wonder that
when the records are shown up some
men should feel hurt? But, Mr.. Voter.
what less can be done than to show
up the records?
Men who assume to do public service.
as officials, must expect to have their
records looked into. They are respon-
slble to the public and as officials have
public trust to perform. Itis up to
them to discharge their duties faith
fully and to the best of their ability. If
they fail to make good record they
have only themselves to blame. Their
duty, as County Officials, is to the
County and not to corporate or private
enterprise.
The Committee has shown where
there has been large and needless ex-
travagance. That extravaganza is
chargable directly to those Officials
under whose term of Office it was au-
thorized and allowed.
To state plain facts hurts at times.
but these have been given simply be-
cause the Voter and Taxpayer is en-
titled to knew them. And he can veri-
fy them at the Court House by inspect
ing the public records. Some matters
have not been gone into or exposed for
the want Of time and space. Many
other matters might be cited that are

equally bad or extravagant, but space
and time forbids it now.
1t Is up to you Mr.. Voter and Tax
payer to say whether you want to con-
tlnue this county extravaganza and
high taxes or whether you want great
er Economy and Efficiency. If you
want the latter, vote the ticket to the
Right. 1t is pledged to economy and
efficiency.

Mr. Voter and Taxpayer, you know

Otto, Deposed Mad King
 Of Bavaria, Is 66 Today.

- =ge
 Otto of Bavaria, the insane mon arch who was deposed last November
 from the throne which he had nom
 inally coupled for twenty seven years.
 was born sixty-six years ago today.
 Long before he came to the throne
 Otto manifested symptoms of the
 mental derangemen which has long
 afflicted the Bavarian royal family. In 1870, when he had barely reached
 his majority, his actions were such as
 to cause him to be placed under re-
 straint for a time The greatest
 aIienists of Europe were called in to
 minister to the stricken youth, and
 for time they hoped that his intel leet might be saved, but by 1886.

MURDER WILL OUT
MN URDER WILL OUT Is an old

R 1T URDER WILL OUT. is an old saying .1VA Certain it is true saying with re- spect to those gross homicides which have re- gently given Bridgeport unpleasant attention Mysterious murders have been uncovered in strange ways, even, according to authenticated evidence, by means of dreams.
 The first case in legal annals in which a dream resulted in the arrest and conviction Of murderers became a matter of court record in Vermont in 1919, although the case had a se- EqueI hereafter to be stated, that was even more remarkable than the dream itself. Ninety-five years ago tonight, April 27, 1919, 6 Vermont man named Boorn dreamed that Louis Colvin, a Manchester, Vt, man who had mysteriously disappeared six years earlier came to his bed- side and declared that he had been murdered and that Stephen and Jesse Boorn were his murderers. The spook, or apparition, or ghost on his slayers, and appealed to Boorn to see the shade were nephews Of the dreamer but Boorn decided to lay aside family affection and tell the authorities of his vision. The officers |scoffed at his story, but Boorn persisted, and Stephen, and Jesse were arrested and accused At first they denied guilt but soon broke down and confessed that they had killed Colvin. They were tried, pleaded guilty, and sentenced to death, but a short time before the date set for their hanging Colvin turned up alive and well having spent the intervening time in New Jer- sey. When confronted with their supposed victim, the brothers admitted that their con fession was false, but were unable to give any clear explanation of why they had admitted guilt of a crime which they had not committed.
 Wilkie Collins used this strange case as the basis for his novel The Dead Alive.''

THE GOOD OFFICES OF THE
 SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS

 7NHE OUTLOOK is at least hopeful that the l trouble in Mexico may be settled without entering into war, in which many valuable American lives would be lost, and uIl- counted billions of public money wastefully ex- pended.
 The good offices of the, three great Repub- lies of South America having been rendered, could scarcely be declined by a nation which has ever desired to live at anity with other na- tions this hemisphere
 An unnecessary war with Mexico. a wa. not justified by the cearest rules of justice and necessity could not fail to impair the confi- dence which South American peoples feel in this country, q loss which would be highly in furious to our future trade relations with them and which would be sure to defeat, in part, one of the ruling purposes which caused us to con struct the Panama canal. .
 This nations difference with Huerta's gov- |ernment grows out of an act of disrespect to the United States. For this act of disrespect President Wilson has demanded 8 salute to the flag. The salute has been withheld until it has been necessary to mobilize the forces of the United States, by which reason something more may be required of Huerta than the ori- ginaI demand.
 The attempt st mediation can do no harm, land good may result from it. especially in the way of kindly feeling toward the United States lin the minds Of the South American powers, whose good offices are extended in the inter- tests of peace m this part of the world
 As for the narrowing pictures drawn in some newspapers of the murder ofaAmericans lin Mexico, they may be taken with reserve. Tn a state of war, especially where a country be- comes so dlsorganized that bandits and gueril- las have free sway, terrible things happen. But Iso far as The Farmer knows nothing has hap pened to Americans in Mexico one half as ter rible as the disasters that have overtaken Americans in Colorado, and the ustlrpation Of IIuerta seems less charged with evil to the United States than the usurpation of MT. Rocke- feller through his Colorado coal company
 American property in Mexico is to some lextent directly damaged, and to 8 greater ex- ltent damaged because war. prevents its free use for the purposes for which it is intended. But Americans who invested in Mexico cast their lot with Mexico. They are not justified in ask ing the United States to spend thousand American dollars here to save one American dollar in Mexico, especially since the owners Of this property for the most part have not the least idea of is1louldering muskets themselves

THE SPIRIT OF THE MILITIA

T~HERE IS A DIFFERENT spirit in the Ma
 L tional Guard organizations than pre- vailed previous to the Spanish war. Then few of the mi1itiamen had any idea that they would be called on for service away from home. They looked at themselves organizations formed purely for police work in their own states.
 The chaos following the attempt to use the militia in Cuba taught needed lesson. \ closer relation with the regular army was formed although the militia is not yet as readily available in case of war as it ought to be.
 During the recent years the National Guard sass been kept in close touch with the regular army. The possibility of such service as may be necessary in Mexico has been emphasized. Lamentable is the present situation, the sol dierfy spirit manifested throughout the militia may well Joe source Of pride.
