in a final effort to prevent the out
break of general European war and
the meeting OF millions OF men In
armed conflict. today, at the elew-
enth hour, sent a dispatch to EN-
peror Nicholas OF Russia. and the

an ultimate appeal for the preserve
tion of peace. His majesty's action

tral unless attacked. While, this in

the belief was expected that should
Italy remain neutral. with the possi-
bility left open OF It's turning against
its allies, Germany and Austria
Hungary. the latter nation would be
reluctant to embark on a general
European war.
On the other hand. the facts stood out
that Germany had taken a very firm at
titude and had asked Russia to suspend
the mobilization OF its forces within q
time limit OF twelve hours. expiring at

By a vote of PAT to l6l the lower
branch of congress on Monday voted
to repeal the clause in the Panama
canal act exempting American
vessels from the payment of tolls.
Speaker Champ Clark opposed repeal,
but the cohorts of the president
swept aside all opposition. It was
a great victory for the president,
more especially as the democratic
national platform contained a plank
against repeal. But Woodrow is
bigger than his party as long as he
has fat juicy offices with which to
reward his worshipers.

DIR. Gates ROAD PL4TFORM.

Or. j. "a. Gates Of Kenyon, Good
hue county, intends to become cam
didate for the state senate and has
issued a circular to the voters of the
county from which the following ex-
tract is taken:
Il believe in good roads, but not
in the Dunn road law. This law
taxes the many for the benefit of the
few. | am for the upbuilding Of
all roads instead of one. I believe
the township unit is large enough
TOR practical road building and that
the town boards, villages and village
councils are competent to expend the
moneys raised by their respective
communities. -
Doctor, if two of your patients
were dangerously ill-were poisoned
for instance would you attempt to
treat the two at one and the same
time, and probably lose both of
them? Would you not administer
an antidote to one of them first, and
then tackle the other?
You say you are for the upbuilding
OF all roads instead of one, but.
doctor, how are you going to cup
build' them all at once?
You ''point with pride,'' doctor.
to your vote for county option. Why
make the town or village the unit
for road work, and the county the
unit for option on the liquor ques-
ton? Are you not a little incon.
sistent, doctor?
Doctor, you say the Dunn law taxes
the many for the benefit of the few.
Won't you please point out where
| the many and the few come in,
doctor. Be specific. Don't generalize
Doctor, your road platform is I'm.
worthy of you-it is punk.

The 'conference''' should have gone
a step farther, to be consistent, and
endorsed Henry .Rines for state
auditor. The conference was
made up of progressive delegates who.

machine. If there is one man in
public life who demonstrated while
in office that he stands for the things
that the people of this state want,
who stands for the ''square deal''
and cannot be controlled by the ma
chine and predatory interests, that
man is Henry Rines, late speaker of
the house of representatives. The
people should stand by and support
the men who have stood by them.
