Not a few of the exchanges which
we have picked up this week relate au-
tomobile accidents, children being run
over and killed and in other instances
older people injured or deprived of
life. We said accidents" but that is
merely a customary term. In many
instances it is an act of carelessness
and of course no other plea than "ac-
cident" can be entered. We noticed
in one case that a fellow got eight
years for running over a child, which
died later. All persons operating au-
tomobiles should bear in mind he
large number of these cases and ex-
ercise the utmost care.

SIOUX FALLS MEN COMING

Tuesdays Sioux Falls Press says
"An effort Is being made to get a
good sized delegation of business men
to go to Bookings Friday when the
state high school track meet will be
held in that city. This movement had
it's start some time ago when President
Perisho of the State College extended
an invitation to Sioux Falls business
men TO visit the city of BrOokings and
the State College. Now that there is
an event to be held in that city in
which Sioux Falls citizens are partic,
ularly interested, the Commercial Club
considers it an opportune time to ac-
cept the hospitality of the State Col,
lege city, and a committee from the
club is now at work soliciting business
men to join in the procession of auto
mobiles that will start from the Com
mercial Club at 7 o'clock Friday morn
ing. Anyone wishing to get into com
m%unication with the committee to
learn of further plans regarding the
excursion may do SO by calling up the
Commercial Club. In addition to the
big athletic event there will be other
features of entertainment that will
be of interest, and those who join the
party will not only be lending their
support to the team from this city but
will have a splendid opportunity to
look over the live city of Bookings
a business standpoint and enjoy
the hospitality Of her citizens"

Fridley, who is the democratic chair

prominent residents of this county
and can tell us some interesting Incl.

He moved into this part of the coun-

nothing but a wilderness and with the
sod shanties about sever miles apart.
Getting lost was a common occurance
in those days.

BRYAN CAUSES DlSPLEASURE
officials at Washington Not Satisfied
With Former seeretary's Appeal
TO German.Amerieans

Washington, June 14.-With a state.
ment outlining partly his future plans,
William Jennings Bryan, former sec.
retary of state, was ready to so into
retirement "for a time" according to
remarks he made when he issued his
appeal to the German.Americans OF
the United States.
The document in which Bryan asked
that portion Of the population that
came from Germany to use its inilu.
ence with the Berlin government to
come to a peace agreement with the
United States, was received with gen.
eral displeasure in official circles.
1t was limited strongly in official
circles that Mr.. Bryan had grown rest.
less in his position as secretary OF
state, especially as President Wilson
had begun to handle foreign affairs
largely himself, and merely had seized
upon the opportunity presented by the
German situation to sever his official
connection with the government.

Stanley Speaks.

Hon. A. 0. Stanley, candidate
Tor the democratic nomination
for Governor, spoke at the court
house here Monday to a large and
enthusiastic audience. He was
introduced by attorney Evert
Mathis who referred to him as
the greatest orator and states
man in Kentucky. Mr.. Stanley
spoke for an hour and three
quarters and reiterated his ad-
herance to the county unit law
and explained fully why he op-
posed Statewide prohibition.
He denounced in no uncertain
terms the lobby, or what is
known as the Third House" at
Frankfort. He put himself
squarely on record as favoring
the abolition of unnecessary Of
fees created for political purpos-
es and as a salve for the feelings
of disappointed office-seekers.
He said that there were scores of
offices created in Kentucky for
no other purpose than to furnish
jobs for the henchmen of some
Of the members of the State ad-
miniStration, and pledged him
self, in the event of his nomina-
tion and election, to .retrench-
ment and reform and an econom-
ical administration Of the States
affairs.
Mr.. Stanley's speech was lis
tened to with rapt attention and
he was frequently interrupted
by applause.
Mat S. Cohen, of Richmond,
candidate for Commissioner of
Agriculture, made a short speech
in the interest of his own candi-
dacy which was we'll received.

OPTIMISM At CAPITAL
Believed That German Question
Near AmicabIe Settlement.
Entire Situation Regarded There as
More Favorable Than It Has Been
for Several Weeks.

Washington, June 1.-THE United
States and Germany are on the way
toward an amicable and mutually hon
orable settlement of their grave diff
ferences. This Is the accepted view
" oiIlcial aTId- dlpl2SaI!e Nashiags.
Unofficial, but creditable, reports
have reached t,sa capital that the sec.
ond American note has been well re-
ceived in Berlin, where the firmness
Of its tone was not overlooked, but it
was noted that the document is not
bombastic in tenor and shows the dis
position of this government to come
to reasonable basis of agreement.
Reports, unofficial in character, have
been received from England that the
note is disappointing in a measure to
Great Britain, but it is suggested in
this that the Bryan resignation and re-
fusal to sign the note because it might
lead to war with Germany, caused the
capitals of the allied nations to eX.
pect a practical ultimatum instead of
a note founded on a vigorous and yet
reasonable discussion OF the points in
conflict between the United States and
the kaiser's government,
Copies of the American note have
been cabled the American embassies
in London, Paris, Petrograd and Rome
This has the effect of acquainting
these governments of the willingness
of the United States to make friendly
suggestions regarding the subject o
maritime warfare which may brinl
about not only modification of thC
submarine policy OF the Germans, bu
the blockade decree of the allies.
The entire situation is regarded
here as more favorable than It hat
been for several weeks, and the eX
treme pessimism which prevailed i'm
mediately after the receipt of the Ger
man reply to the first note, is benl
dissipated gradually.

BIG WHISKY FRAUD
Barred IN KENTUCKY MAY RE-
VEAL RIVAL OF 1874
SCANDAL.
Distilers and Revenue Agents ImpIi-
Gated in Plot to Cheat Uncle
Sam, It Is Declared.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington-Off officials of the Treas
ury Department are on the track Of
what they believe will prove to be
enormous whisky frauds in the State
Of Kentucky. In some quarters it is
believed that the frauds will prove
as widespread and sensational as the
whisky ring scandal of 1874. The evil
dence so far obtained is said to in
volve a number Of distllers in vari-
Gus parts Of Kentucky and minor rev.
enue employees. The frauds indicated
are similar in character to those
which led to the arrest recently Of
Knox Booth, Internal Revenue Agent
for the Tennessee-Alabama District,
and John l.. Caspar, president OF a big
distillery at FIT. Smith, Ark. The
frauds appear to have extended
through nearly all of the Southern
States, but, according to Colonel Boul-
din, Internal Revenue Agent at Louis
vile, fraudulent relations between dis
tillers and revenue officers are more
extensive in Kentucky than in any
other state.
w. II. Osborn, Commissioner of In.
ternal Revenue, said that he must de.
cline to discuss the results of the in.
vestlgations in Kentucky and that he
deeply deplores the prospect that pub.
licity must be given to the matter at
this time.
Commissioner Osborn displayed live
.ly interest in reports that Bouldin ha!
found that the government has los
an enormous sum and that the collu
sion has been going on fer years. Tn,
information from Kentucky is that tn
scheme that has been worked ha
been similar to that employed in tn
whisky ring frauds back in, the zoo
as it is said to involve collusion be
tween distillers and revenue officers

A Suggestion.

1t has been suggested by a
great many citizens of this county
whose names appear in this issue
of the Courier, that we suggest
a plan that will assist the people
to free their homes of the wild
cat claims that now hang over
them. This is a job to which we
scarcely feel equal, but willmake
one suggestion. tits this: That
the citizens of this and other
counties, if they want to partici-
pate, have a meeting in West
Liberty on Monday, June 2S,
which will be the first day of
Circuit Court, to reason together
and talk the matter over. If this
suggestion should be acted upon
let every man who attends the
meeting be duly and strictly sober
and let whatever discussions that
are indulged in be without pas
sion or inAammatory remarks.
Let conservatism and coolheaded-
ness prevail. There is only one
way to accomplish the desired end
and that is the RIGHT way,
Everybody come but be sure
and come sober and amenable to
reason.
