British Assert Collier Accused
of Violation Had No Wireless.

Washington, Dec. 10. - Coionei
Coethals. Governor Of the Canal Zone,

the British Embassy to-day, and which
was communicated to the State Depart

understood the violating message was
sent by another British ship which was
outside the three-mile limit.

is WORTHY OF THEIR SUPPORT

Women voters of Oregon are urged
to support K. A. Booth, Republican
candidate for United States Senator
by the women of Eugene, who give
their reasons in the following letter
which has been addressed to Booth.
Il is the highest possible Endorsement
candidate can receive from women
in an appeal to other women. Says
the letter:
"To Mr.. R. A. Booth:
I'VE, your neighbor women, who
have intimate acquaintance with you
that has extended over many years
and who earnestly petitioned you to
become a candidate for the United
States Senate, desire to express our
renewed interest in you and your
candidacy.
1--WE desire most emphatically to
resent the slurs aimed at you by your
political enemies now in high places
| in Oregon.
I'VE would like to have the mes
sage go from us to the women of
Oregon that we know you intimately
we have seen you in your home
and in ours-that we are your
friends and supporters because we
know that, if elected, you will carry
into the national counsels the same
high moral attributes, and the same
unsellsh devotion to right, that has
characterized your home and COM
munity life.
'In every battle that we have
fought for purity, for home protec-
tion, for civic virtue, you have been
our counselor and helper; we want
the same spirit, the same high pur-
poses that have characterized your
home and community life. that has
made homes brighter, schools strong
er and churches more effective
through your inuence and direct help
to be carried through your election
to every home under our flag.
I'VE regret that in this advanced
age Of your beloved and progressive
state that people who have been hon
cred and advant ed by the vote OF the
people of the state should so far for
get common decency as to make the
attack that has recently been ade
upon you, but your influence for good
in this state will be potent force
when their names are forgotten.

NEITHER FISH, FLESH NOR
FOWL.

Taxes and the method of collect
ing them are of personal interest to
every responsible citizen in the COM
munity. One sage brush philosopher
has remarked that governments were
created for the express purpose Of
levying taxes, collecting them and
spending the money. 1t is apparent
that other would-be philosophers
adhere to that opinion without rhyme
or reason.
Instance the sur tax amendment
to be found on page so of the Off
cial pamphlet.
Judged by the accepted canons Of
taxation, this proposed measure has
not logical leg to stand on; and
viewed in the light of any rational
tax reform that has ever been pro-
posed, it refuses to be classified. 1t
is neither fish, flesh nor fowl.
1t is proposed to levy graduated
extra tax on all real estate holdings
above the value Of $4,000, ranging
from one-half of one per cent in the
minimum to three per cent in the
maximum. The very terms of it
BADLY stated signify its injustice. 1t
is aimed merely at specific class of
property holders; and the most con-
demnable feature of it Is, it will hit
the productive property owner hard
er than any other.
In any system of taxation that Is
just there must be equitable distri-
button of the burden, 1t will not dc
to tax Jones on different basis than
Smith is taxed simply because Jones
owns more property. Under this sur
tax amendment, as proposed, Jones
and Smith may own adjoining realty
the Smith realty assessed at S24, ,000
and the Jones property at -25,000
1t could very easily be the fact that
the Smith realty produced greater
revenue than that which belong tC
Jones. Yet, if this amendment car
ried, Jones would be obliged to pay
S125 extra into the public till. Il
tax could be more inequitably lai(
than this, we have yet to be apprsei
Of the system.
This proposed tax amendment
lacks every element of scientific tai
reform. AS single tax proposition
which it is evidently meant to be, i
lacks discrimination between simon
pure land monopoly and the indus
trial use of land. 1t would sense
lessly impose an added burden upol
the latter without reaching the for
mer in any appreciable degree.
is nothing more nor less than an un
just, undigested and destructive va
gary on the part of would-be tax tin
kerers. Peculiar to note there is n,
argument in support of it in the Off
cial pamphlet. No sound argumen
of that sort is possble.-Telegram

Definition of Bucketshops, Pools and
Such Things Read Into
the Record.

New York, Oct 24.-The wal
street dictionary" of Jared Flagg, on
trial under an indictment charging
him with using the maifs to promote
the sale of fraudulent mining stocks,
was read into the records of the fed
eral court by government counsel as
follows:
Pool--A syndicate of men who
combine to dupe the public and, fail
ing in this, dupe each other.
Lamb-A well read man who, like
the sucker at poker, is inquisitive and
pays the penalty.
Interest-That which makes bro
kers rich and customers poor.
An Account-A monthly reminder
of what an ass you have made of
yourself.
Bucketshop-A place where you
are permitted to do the guessing, but
the proprietor takes the money.
This dictionary" evidence was in
troduced at the close of a day of
testimony by witnesses brought here
by the government from several
states. AS each witness closed for the
prosecution, Flagg took his counsel's
place as q%uestioner and got most of
the witnesses to concede that they
had no fault to find with Flagg's
financial operations.

teur institute at Lille. Just before
the wal broke out, Calmette fastened
his efforts to give his work to the
outside world. The recent abandon
ment of the town of Lille to the
Germans closes the famous institute
conducted here, and Dr.. Calmette is
giving his services to the French re-
lief.
The dangers due to cats and dogs
is the warning DR.. Calmette sees as
a result of his many experiments for
tuberculosis causes OF the dogs he
examined, those of cafes, cabarets
and restaurants are often infected, 4
or 5 per cent being affected. OF the
many cats in cities he has visited, i
per cent are afflicted with the bovine
variety of tuberculosis. probably on
account of their diet of milk.
DR.. Calmette's experiments with
animals show that sheep, goats,
horses and donkeys are practically
immune. while pigs. especially those
fed on milk. show important traces.
The bacillus of consumption finds
its field in domestic life and the So
cial circle, and DIR. Calmette empha-
sizes that the domestic animals are
al active agent in its distribution.

BOARD OF CONTROL
STATE COMMANDER OF G.. A. II.
ISSUES STATEMENT TO
DEPARTMENT.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 24.-Opposition
to the plan TO amend the state con-
stitution so as to permit the creation
of a board of control to replace the
board of charities and corrections and
the board of regents. is voiced by C.
A. b. Fox, commander of the depart
ment of South Dakota G. A. r. His
statement follows:
General orders No. s.. Series of
1914-1915. Headquarters of the
Grand Army Department of South
Dakota, Sioux Falls. S. d.. Oct. 90,
1914.
Comrades: Your commander
wishes to call your attention to the
session laws of 1913, page 147, sec
tion 2; read this carefully, then read
section 3-then see what is printed
upon your ballot for the November
election. ! am referring to a propos-
ed constitutional amendment to
which you and every voter is being
asked 10 say whether ii shall become
a law or not. The old veterans GER
tainly do not have any use for this
amendment, comrades. 1t cuts the
old soldiers out of any say whatever
as to who or how the soldiers home
at Hot Springs shall be operated.
Section 2 says, very pertinently, that
the home shall be under control of
the board of control-three men of
whom none of you have any say as to
who or what they shall be. Now,
section 3 does define the usefulness
of the board of regents and the board
~ II pfttAA - n ~-Aas. -->
you will discover that this proposed
amendment is a direct slap at the
management of the soldiers home be-
ing under the care of any old sol
diers; therefore, vote no to this pro-
posed amendment.
Should those who desire to have
a board of control instead of a board
of charities and corrections and a
board Of regents, desire to present
the matter at some future time and
so word their amendment as to leave
the soldiers home board alone, then
as comrades, the Grand Army of the
Republic will be in a position to en-
ter no protest. We do feel that at
this time We should secure the defeat
of this proposed amendment, in order
to keep our home as near a true
home as is possible.
II have consulted the council of
administration in this matter and find
them a unit upon this amendment, all
say vote it down, and get your
friends to vote no in this matter.

There Is more Catarrn In this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
1t a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
1t ~incurable. Science has proven Ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by I. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o.,

After Studying Agricultural Methods
i'm South Dakota.

Aberdeen, Oct. 24.-George Troub-
nikoff of Spssk Kazansky. Russia,
who has been spending the last year
in this country studying the agricul-
tural methods practiced here for the
purpose of returning home and in
stilling those methods into the agri-
cultural life of his native land, leaves
this week for New York with the in
tention of setting sail for his native
land on October 80. He expects to
take either the Norwegian steamship
line or else a boat to London and then
60 on to Russia by way of Norway.
Mr.. Troubnikoff has been spending
the greater part of the last year in
the Dakotas, and declared before
leaving here hat he believes Russia
has opportunities second to no coun-
try in the world as a grain growing
country if the aggressiveness used by
the American farmers in instilled in
the farmers across the water.
T~roubnikoff is the only son, and
will therefore not be drawn into mil
itary service. He said that he felt
that there was more need of an in
telligent raising of grain to supply
food for the soldiers in the field than
there was of sending more men
against the Germans. He stated that
Russia has already 5000. 600 men in
the field.

Man Arrested Charged with Murder
Last April.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 24.-Robert f.
Brooks, charged with the murder at
Geddes, S.. D.. of William Minnie and
Blanche Signal, his stenographer, is
on his way to the scene of his alleged
crime. Sheriff Hyers of Lincoln and
a deputy arrested Brooks at Wymore,
Neb., and brought him to Lincoln.
Sheriff Rifle of Geddes came here
from Malvern, Ia, in response to a
telegram notifying him of the arrest
and departed for South Dakota with
Brooks. The prisoner denied his
guilt.
During the night of April 16, 1914,
the Farmers elevator at Geddes, S. d.,
vas discovered to be on fire, but the
blaze was extinguished. In the morn
ing the bodies of Minnie, manager OF
the company, and his stenographer
were found in the damaged building.
The man had been shot through the
side of the head and the woman had
her skull crushed with a hammer.
Brooks, it is alleged, is a profess
sional gambler, and had had a con-
cession on the county fair grounds,
but Minnie. who was a member of the
board of directors. had closed his
game. 1t is alleged that at the time
Brooks had threatened Minnie. and
o on after the double murder oc-
Cured.
Sheriff Rifle stated that he had
been looking all summer for Brooks.
and that the double murder had
caused great excitement and indigna-
ton throughout Charles Mix county.

flesh. rendering immense services to
the surgeons.
There is less sickness in the
French army after two months on the
battlefield than in time of peace, due
to the efficiency and preparedness of
the military health service, according
to Prof. Edward Delorme, medical in
speetor general of the army and a
member of the academy of medicine.
Since the beginning of the war he
has been on an official mission of in
spection of field and other hospitals
where the French wounded have been
treated.
He established in the first place"
says the Figaro, that sanitary condi-
lions in our army are perfect. The
wounded Frenchman is a healthy
man. Sickness is exceptional. Dur
ing this war the number of cases of
sickness Is less than i'm time of
peace"
Complications from wounds cause
the most serious trouble. They oe-
cur with surprising frequency and
gravity, says Prof. Delorme. They
chiefly result in gaseous gangrene and
tetanus. Injections of ~oxygenated
water are efieacious in both cases,
but for %tetanus. injections of antite-
tanic serum are being used as a pre-
tentative. More than 100000 doses
of this serum have been turned over
to the army health service by the Pas
teur institute since the beginning of
the war. BY this means ii is expected
that the lives of thousands of wound
ed will be saved.
