the style Of political architecture
which faces the street shah be Of
the progressive type. In other words
the standpatter must consent to be
concealed in the belly Of the wooden
horse and once safely within the
walls Of Troy, he can break out and
and do all the damage he pleasas.
It is to be noted, however, that
Morgan treats his own candidacy in
a humorous vein, and the fact Of 1t
is that It is not any funnier to him
than 1t is to the public.
Speaking Of Morgan g candidacy
reminds US of the old days when the
offices of State Printer and State
Treasurer were regarded as gratis.
In those days tn State Printer and
the State Treasurer always made up
the deficit IN the treasury OF the
Republican State Central Committee
at the end of the campaign. Those
good old days are gone and in order
to insure against their return, it
might be Just as we'll to leave the
men who prOfited by them-at home.
The Democrats Of the state seem
to be organizing as they never did
before. Nowhere is there any Sc
rious break in the ranks. Occasion
ally one finds someone who is dis
gruntled because he has not received
an appointment, but every administra
ton has more or less of that, and thif
administration has less than any ad.

they have reduced their figures tc
something like $1,000 a year. OF
course. these figures are always bas-
ed upon a CARRIED statement OF facts.
The absurdity Of the figures given
out will appear to any thinkng man
who will for just a moment consider
some Of the things that are admitted
to be true and not disputed by amy
one.
1t is admitted by everyone, for ex-
ample, that the Stubbs admimstra
ton not only used the entire reve-
nues Of the year 1912, but took $780,.
600 out Of the revenues Of 1913 to
pay the running expenses Of the
state and then left a deficit Of $l15,'
900. It is also undisputed that the
Hodges administration, although l.
deprived itself Of an income Of at
least $3.50, 1000 by the repeal Of the in
heritance tax and so did not have as
great a revenue as did the Stubs ad.
mmistration, will close the fiscal year
on July LIST without any deficit and
will in addition have put in operation
the new Insane Hospital at Larned,
the new tuberculosis Sanitarium at
Norton; have completed the new Me-
mortal Building at an expense OF
s175 900 and set aside $4,000 to ap-
ply ON the state debt.
These things being true, viii some
one kindly point out to US how 1t
would be possible for the Hodges
administration to have spent as much
money as the Stubbs administration,
without running the state in dett-
and this Governor Hodges has not
done and no one will say that he
has.
When amy one tells you that the
Hodges administration has spent
more money than the Stubs admins
tration, Just cite these facts and ask
them to figure it out for you.
Billy Morgan who got rich out
Of the office Of State Printer when It
was a good graft-has finally an
nounced that he is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Leu
tenant Governor.
Billy is a stand-patter at hsart'
who puts up a Progressive front fol
the purpose OF ambushing the deal
voter. Billy evidently became 6
candidate to please his friend Arthul
Capper and for the purpose of Ell
bowling Senator Brewer, OF Abilene

statement IN the matter OF state ex-

First they had it that the Hodges

the Stubbs administration. Then they

whether or not the informal peace

can be pursued further with Great

The inquiry was not a formal one,

fort to determine whether Germanys

PrSSIANS CUT AUSTRIAN ARMY
TO PIECES. KILL 10000 AND
TAKE 10000 PRISONERS.

The French war office announces
tnot the Germans in France are re-
treating generally and offering only
a feeble resistance.
According to a report received by
General Gallieni, the French military
governor of Paris. the first and sec
ond divisions of the British, support
Cd nv Rrench artillery, cut off and
defeated a large force of Germans
near scissors. about so miles north
cast of Paris. This report stated
that the British had taken 5000 pris-
oners and that Is German guns had
fallen into their hands.
General Paul Pau. the one-armed
hero of Paris, who is operating on
the British left. secured an enormous
advantage over the enemy by sur
rounding and taking a big ammuni-
tion train. This seizure left the Ger
mans right wing short of ammuni-
ton.
The seventh day of the present
fighting east of Paris finds the right
flank Of the Germans still in retreat,
hotly pursued by the British and
French. who keep up a relentless at
tack. In some sections the German
retreat has developed into rout and
soldiers not only throw away their
arms, but give themselves up to ex-
cesses in French villages through
which the retiring column passed.

The British official press bureau
and censorship have been under fire
in the house of commons in London,
several members complaining that
the accounts of British fighting were
too meager and that the result was
that false news detrimental to Eng

T. P. O'Connor, the Irish leader,
pleaded for a complete reform IN the

incidents OF the war and the DTinci-
pies of the war as the puHEc o. the

MAY SUE DIRECTORS OF THE NEW HAVEN
Whether or Not Suits Be Brought Depends Upon
 Legislature

Boston, June 7.-Whether suit will be brought against directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad to recover losses sustained by the Boston and Maine railroad under the New Ha- ven financing and management depends upon the action of the legislature, ac- cording to a statement made tonight by Sherman L. Whipple, attorney for cer- tain minority stockholders of the Boston and Maine.
 MT. Whipple said action would be withheld until the legislature had deter mined whether to approve or condemn the agreement between the New Haven directors and the department of justice. He said:
 My clients seek the return to the New Haven treasury of the money taken from it by the directors I shall first ask the directors to return the money without appealing to the courts, then. If they refuse. which is the probable conjecture, we will go into court
 My clients want the department of jus tice to make it impossible for any more funds to be taken from the New Haven treasury and further they want what has been taken returned. They demand that the government or state compel the direc- tors to sustain the losses and not the mi nority stockholders.

RAINS FALL OVER
 AUTAUGA COUNTY
First Planting of Corn Promises Full Crop-Request Certain Cases Be
 Continued Until October

,Prattville, June 7.-(Special. )-Until this week the farms of this county appeared to need rain, except, of course, the farmers who were harvesting their magnificent yield of oats. Rains have fallen during the week, and the first planting of corn promises full crop. Cotton is growing and Is well cultivated for the season, and is the most promising for several years past.
 The Autauga County Bar association met Saturday afternoon and asked Judge w w. Pearson to continue the cases upon the circuit court docket until the October term of that court There being but one week of this July term of the court it was argued that the important cases standing for trial at that term could not be disposed of with advantage to the parties.
 About 25 citizens of Marbury came down to this city Saturday in the interest of having their public school placed upon the same grade as to course of study as the high schools. The reason for this was said to be that number of their children had completed the common school course as prescribed by the state, and in order for the children to continue In school it would be necessary to board them in Prattville for the high school. It is be- lieved there will be provision for the high CT grades to be taught to the eleventh in these schools
