For Sheriff.

To the Voters and Taxpayers of Can
yon county:
/ wish to announce myself at this
time as a candidate for the Office of
sheriff of Canyon county, on the Re-
publican ticket.
For the past 18 months l have had
the honor of serving the people of
this county as sheriff, and invite your
inspection of the affairs of the office,
reports of which are on file in the
clerks office.
l am truly grateful to you for all
past favors and will appreciate your
support at the coming election.
If nominated and elected again 1
will endeavor to continue to render
my services in favor of the taxpayer,
and it seems to me that my expert
ence and services in the past, as sher-
iff, fit me to serve the taxpayers more
should l continue in my
present position, and should you de-
sire it.

Where the blue Danube and the
sluggish Save meet, less than three
score miles from the Hungarian from
tier, sits Belgrade, city of sieges,
awaiting the outcome of Europe's lat
est war to determine its ownership.
War is nothing novel to Belgrade
the city was the very bone of con-
tention in days gone by, when the
now degenerate Turk pounded at the
doors of Christendom and threatened
to sweep Europe, even as Attila, the
Hun, did centuries before. Time and
again, Belgrade felt the attack of
the Moslem; time and again, Servian,
and Hungarian heroes
hurled back, the invader. Always
bore the brunt of the pat
Ting.
In those days the town was divided
into two sections, the old Russian, or
Sava- Makhala district, and the Tur-
kish, Dorcol, or Cross Road section.
So far back as the Third century B. C. !
Belgrade was fortified by the Celts, |
who named the place Singidunum, by
which appellation it was known until
he Seventh century A. d. From the .
beginning of the Fourth century to
he end of the Sixth century, Bel

A curious instance of the confusion
of jingoism with patriotism was in a

scribing the Socialist citizens march

residents had jammed this section be-

The calm assumption that only cit
liens who wanted war were patriots
had medieval flavor.

lemange. A hundred years later the
Bulgarians took possession, to be
ousted two centuries later by the By
zantine emperor, Basil II. In 1142 the
Hungarians under King Stephen took
it from the Greeks, from which time
it changed hands repeatedly, Greeks,
Bulgarian and Hungarians fighting
for it's possession. The city, consid-
cred the key to Hungary, was called
Darol-i-Jehad, "the home of wars for
faith" by the Turks and they used
every endeavor to capture and keep it.
In 1S47 it was coded to the Hun
garians by the Servians. In 1856 the
Turks sought its capture and were
completely routed by Hungarians un-
der John Hunyadi and John Capis-
tran, the fighting monk. In 1921,
Sultan Suleiman captured the strong
hold, to hold it, only to lose it two
years later. In 1917 Prince Eugene
of Savoy captured Belgrade for the
who kept it until 1889, |
when the Austrians carried it by as
sault, losing it once more three years
later. In 1907 the Servians over
whelmed the Turkish garrison, keep
ing possession for six years, when
the Turks again turned the tables.
Until 1862 the Turks kept garri-
son in Belgrade, and it was not until
Prince Michael of Servia threatened

ry withdraw its troops. Since then
Servia has been in possession.

The Greatest Crime of the New Century

the participation of Austrian officials
in the inquiry.
The ruling powers in Austria would
not accept this reply of Servia as
satisfactory. They never intended to
do so. The real purpose of these
Austrian rulers was not to avenge
the death of the grand duke and his
wife, but to carry out long cherished
purpose to overwhelm Servia, crush
its government, make of it con-
quered province and destroy the hope
of a Slavic confederation.
The assassination furnished the pre-
text and the time seemed opportune.
Russia, the natural and acknowl-
edged ally of Servia, has troubles of
its own. As result of long contin-
ued tyranny and corrupt government
the oppressed masses of Russia are
threatening revolt.
France, whose sympathies are with
the Servians, is torn by political dis
sensions and is not prepared for war
Great Britain, also the natural
friend of Servia and natural ally of
Russia and France, is facing a crisis \
in Ireland that may at any moment |
result in civil war that will rock
the empire to its very foundation.
Servia, at best a small, weak ma
ton, is, as has been said, weakened
by the terrible struggle of the Bal
kan war.
Germany, on the other hand, the
ally of Austria, is prepared for war,
with an army of more than two mil
ion men ready to take the field with
N week and probably more than a
match for the combined armies Of
Russia and France, not on paper, but
n actual warfare.
Austria looks to Germany to say to
Russia and France and Great Britain,
Hands off. Let Austria work her
will on her weak neighbor."
At the bottom of the impending
truggle is no desire for human rights t
r the spread of human liberty. The c
'asic cause is human greed and inn
erial lust for power. To crafty this t
wo million peasants, and before the l
onfict ends perhaps 10 million peas C
nts, will be forced to leave their y
or the little fields they are b
tilling to be marshalled a
ITO battalions, regiments and armies. h
With nothing to gain and everything v
} lose these humble folk will have v
uns placed in their hands and or t
cred to go out to shoot and kill and
e killed. Pleasant, fruitful fields will
e trampled by marching armies and

mes general and the war debts of D
urope will be doubled. Already bur- m
,ned with debt as it seems to the
nit, with the added burden the great

lnkruptcy. 1t seems almost incon- or
ivable that so awful a crime against m
vilization can be possible in this the Is

wv of Austria against tn
small and weak govern
, government of Servia. An empero
in his dotage, urged on, no doubt, b.
ambitious and unprincipled advisers
has taken step which is liable to in
volve all Europe in war, drench its
fairest fields with blood and pile up.
on the backs of the toiling masses an
other almost inconceivable burden in
addition to that already loading down
productive industry.
Let us review briefly the ostensi-
BILE causes of this conflict.
A few weeks ago the Grand Duke
Ferdinand, prospective heir to the
Austrian throne, and his wife were
assassinated. The assassination was
brutal and no doubt unjustifed, but it
was committed by half crazed fa-
natic encouraged by other fanatics
who cherished the fallacious belief
that idealism in government could be
attained by murder. The assassin was
captured and would undoubtedly
have paid the penalty of his act with
his life, but with this the Austrian
government was not satisfied. The
leaders of that government professed
TO see in the incident of the assassin
alton a conspiracy on the part of
Servia to overthrow the government
at Vienna and to organize pan-Slay-
ic confederation in opposition to the
Germanic people.
Acting on this pretext brusque
ultimatum was sent to the Servian
with certain demands
that must be acceded to within forty
eight hours.
Servia, a small and poor nation at
best, and at present weakened by the
terrific struggle of last year and the
year before, knowing its inability to
cope with it's powerful neighbor,
agreed to all the demands of Austria
except that it refused to permit Aus
,rian officials to dictate as to how its
courts should be conducted; in other
words, it was not willing to surrender
is complete sovereignty or to admit
~ public act that its word was not
o be depended upon.
1t agreed to dissolve the societies
which Austria complained were plot
ing against her.
1t agreed to revise the laws con-
erning the press so that violent crit {
,isms of Austria would be forbidden {
utilization.
1t agreed to dismiss army and navy
Ulcers and civil officials whose partic- t
,ation in any anti-Austrian propa-
anda could be proven. v
1t agreed to an investigation of the C
arajevo plot to assassinate the grand /
IKE, but naturally desired to con- d
act that investigation in way that Ii
ould not insult the national pride p
Servia. b
In short, Servia accepted all the c.
