against the big graft. President

If congress really wants vaca-
ton why doesn't it take it? The
president takes a rest whenever he
feels like it and doesn't ask the
consent of congress or of any other
nation. Then why should congress
remain in session when its members
want to go home? Simply because
the president wants it to and it
hasn't the backbone to do its own
bidding. OF all the mollycoddle
congresses that ever sat in Wash
ington the present set of sisters Is

Well, we'll, who is this that has
just climbed upon the prohibition
wagon? I declare, if it isn't our
old friend, Theodore Roosevelt! The
colonel is certainly welcome. The
enemies of the saloon need just such
fighters. Whatever may be said or
thought of the methods of the
colonel, none can question his cour-
age nor his ability to fight. A few
evenings ago he made an address at
Columbus, Ohio, and denounced the
liquor interests in scathing terms.
He declared that both the old par
ties in Ohio were in league with the
saloon and urged voters to support
the progressive ticket, which stands
in the Buckeye state for prohibition.

The Denison Review is of the
opinion that Roosevelt's opposition

ed at Des Moines in his recent

Putting Economical management
of the states affairs" in the party
platform and then calling every
man a BARKER at progress" who
shows disposition to stand by it is
one of the peculiar phases Of the
present campaign in Iowa.-Eagle
Grove Eagle.
The Eagle is right about it. Why
does the party platform demand
economy if economy means retro
erosion and reaction? If it does
not mean that why are men who
insist upon economy branded as en-
emies of progress?

There are many thousands of re.

Colonel Roosevelt and who believe
that he was one of the greatest
presidents the country ever had,
but who will refuse to follow him
in his efforts to defeat Senator
Cummins. It is certain that Cum

with my heart, mind and conscience
telling me l am doing right. | here
by formally withdraw from the race
for United States senator and there
by leave clear field for that splen-
did leader, Charles S. Thomas"
So declared John A. Martin of Pu-
eblo in an address delivered this
morning at the third district congress
sional assembly held here. Six hun
dred people heard the former con-
gresham as he renounced his candi-
dacy for the senate and explained
his reasons for the action.
He declared that a combination of
peculiar circumstances practically
forced him to enter the race although
at no time did he desire to oppose
Sen. Thomas. He declared that the
senator richly deserved reelection as
he was one of the ablest senators the
state has ever had.
Following this announcement Mr.
Martin. presented the name of Ed
ward Heating for denomination for
congress, declaring that the record
of the former newspaperman was
clear and that his career had been
as brilliant in the house. as Thomas
and Shafroth's had been in the SEN
ate.
On the roll call Keating received
235 and Judge Mcdaniel of Otero
county received 9S.
Harry H. Seldomridge was renom-
mated without opposition in the sec
ond district and next week the first
district assembly will be held in Den
yer. 1t is now believed that Ben C.

n ERLIN, July 31.-LBy Associ-

claiming martial law and pro-
hihiting the publication OF news
OF movements of German troops and
war material was issued today.
The proclamation announces mill
tary measures on the frontier armed
protection of railroads and the re-
striction of telegraph. postal and
railroad services, except for military
purposes.
Official quarters found in the
Russian ukase calling out the army
reserves a generally aggravated sit
uation and in opinion amounted to
a direct challenge to Austria Hung
ry and Germany.
II had been generally expected that
an order of mobilization of the Ger
man army would be issued last night.
The governments postponement of
This action gave rise today to the
hopes that something might happen
to avoid the necessity of doing so.
There is a general feeling through
out Germany, however, that only a
Miracle can prevent war. The gov
ernment has made the greatest ef-
! fort 10 prevent the spread of alarm.
/ inE rumors ana false news. 1t has
ordered the confiscation of four
newspapers which printed an erron-
eous report that mobilization had
been ordered, and authorities had
established the strictest censorship.
Through fear that mobilization
would block ordinary traffic, a num-
ber of municipalities took steps to
increase their stocks of grain. The
financial markets reflected the gen
eral pessimism. Money is almost
impossible to obtain. Americans
who first regarded the war rumors
lightly have begun to realize the
gravity of the situation. They have
been advised to quit the country i'm
mediately
Government officials said they
preferred TO wait until all re-
sources to bring peace had been ex-
hausted. II is understood that 4

mount TO a declaration of war. Crown

pointed to the command of the first

England has also begun taking pre-
cautions. The fleet was ordered to
war footing and scattered vessels
are being brought to home bases. The
Mediterranean fleet has reached Nal

@rHlCAGO, July 31.-LB By Asso-
ciated Press. IA strike of 55,-
- 900 enginemen on 9S western
railroads was set for August II, it
was officially announced today.
Heads of the engineers and fire
mems brotherhoods said the strike
will be effective unless, the general
managers committee has accepted
plan of settlement proposed by the
by the federal mediators.
In signed statement Warren S.
Stone and William Carter, presidents
of the enginemen's and firemen's
brotherhoods, respectively, asserted
that after the managers committee
had invoked the service of the fed
eral mediation board, the latter re-
fused to accept the plan of settle
ment proposes, and that thus re-
sponsibility for the strike must rest
with the railroads.
Committees prepared to leave to-
day for Washington to confer with
President Wilson in u last effort to
prevent strike.
1t is said that the President will
use all his power and influence to
prevent a tie-up when the enormous
grain crop is ready to be moved.
The men voted 81 per cent for a
strike.
According to Stone and Carter the
plan of settlement proposed by the
mediators was as follows:
The schedules in effect prior to
Oct. 10, 1913, with amendments
thereto and accepted rulings thereon,
be restored and continued until
changed by arbitration"
The demands of the two organiza-
tions were set forth in their commu-
nication of that date and no other
questions were submitted to arbitra-
tion. Under act of congress OF July
25, 1913. known as the "Newlands
law" all subsequent demands and
all counter demands were withdrawn
without prejudice.
