"BEWARE DUBLIN"
SPEEDER'S WARNING

In the silent brotherhood OF the au-
tomobile drivers, there is safety; SAT-
ETY. for the other drivers without ref
erence to the pedestrians and traffic
in general.
Some speeder smitten by an adbi-
tious wing of the law in Dublin, tele-
graphed back to Dayton and other
points east warning, Beware Dub
lin, Indiana"
This warning has been communi-
Gated to fifty per cent or more of the
parties passing through to Indianapo-
lis races in machines AS a result, the
first question asked by a party enter
ing Richmond, is the location and dis
lance of Dublin
1t was learned that the town mar
shall is trying to bring fame or at
least notoriety to his city and at the
same time enhance his chances for a
bigger pay check. He has stationed
men with stop watches and flags at
the edge of the town a quarter of a
mile apart. If the distance is run in
less than sixty seconds, one OF the
watchers signals with his flag A rope
is then stretched across the street and
the offending machine stopped and the
occupants relieved of some money.
This is the story told by the automo-
bile parties passing through here, al
though not verified The word is pass

run slow through Dublin, and if the
facts ar etrue, the town of Dublin will

FOR nomination AS GOVERNOR

Anderson's denunciation Of the saloon
in connection with the Terre Haute
election corruption conspiracy. Judge
Anderson declared that the people
would have to rise up and smash the
saloon.
Has Large Following.
Speculation has been rife concern
ing Risk ever since the Kirby letter
appeared. He is known to have
large personal acquaintance in the
state. due partly to many years spent
in the insurance field. He was for
twenty years a member of the execu-
tive committee of the independent
Order of Foresters, was high chief
ranger of the order at one time, and
for four years was state manager. At
present. he is manager of the Indian
apolis branch of the North American
Insurance company Of Chicago.
Observers have not hesitated to
state that should Risk become a can
didate he would draw to his banner
the Bryan element in Indiana Democ
racy, which is rated very strong. Bry-
an stopped at the Risk home in La
fayette at the time Of the big rally in
1907, when he announced his candi-
dacy for the presidency in 1908.
Risk has had extensive experience
in politics. In 1908 he led the fight
against Taggart in the state commit
tee in which the committee was dead
locked for forty-three ballots over the
choice of a state chairman. The Tag
CART organization finally elected Stokes
Jackson to succeed w. H. O'Brien. Gu
riously, O'Brien at this time is men
toned as the most probable candidate
of the organization forces for gov
ernor.
Risk has been city, county and dis
trict chairman at the same time, while
endeavoring to be elected state chair
man of the party.

Lafayette Man and Anti
Taggart Leader Accepts
Overture of Bryan League
to Make Race in State
Advocates Equal Suffrage
and Prohibition.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 31.-James X.
Risk of Lafayette will be a candidate
for the nomination for governor before
the Democratic primary next spring.
His decision became known today
when his reply to an open letter from
Richard B. Kirby, president of the
Bryan League Of Indiana, was made
public. Kirby had urged Risk to make
the campaign.
The announcement OF the candidacy
Of Mr.. Risk indicates that the Demo
cratic party is to have an interesting
contest within its ranks. The Lafay-
cite man makes it plain that he will
take positive stand for woman suf-
frage and aginst the liquor traffic.
Mr.. Risk will begin an active cam
paign Immediately, following his res
ignation from the Citizens League of
Indiana, of which he has been presi-
dent and chairman of the executive
committee. Constitutional revision
will be one Of the planks upon which
Mr.. Risk will make his campaign.
For Woman Suffrage.
Concerning woman suffrage Risk
says:
Il believe that every woman that
have the right to vote. I believe the
women of Indiana are just as capable
Of determining what sort Of govern
ment is best suited to bring the great
est good to the greatest number as are
the men.
Woman has been able to meet
every demand made upon her. In many
lines they have excelled the men. A

Stand on Liquor.
Risk has the following to say on the
liquor traffic:
There is one question that you
have not discussed in your letter
which is extremely vital in our state.
1t has much to do in preventing the
progress Of popular government. 1t

live by committing crime. This great

One of the main dangers in the

apart. Instantly it began to readjust
it's balance. The tremendous masses
beneath the water steadily rose as the

knees" was the terse reply Of the
captain. But the great wave from the
tumbling ice swept down on the boat
and washed it to safety.
The collapse of an iceberg spreads
danger to great distances. 1t may be
too far distant to threaten a craft
itself, but the wave it raises will
swamp the largest boat in the imme-

RIOTS THREATEN
REVOLT IN ITALY
Cabinet in Session for Decision
on War.
FINAL COUNCIL IS CALLED
Salandra Expects to Remain in Power
-Mobs Throng Streets of Rome
and Other Cities-MartiaI
Law at Capital.

Rome, May IA council of minis
tiers called by Premier Salandra held
a session, and a decision relative to
the present crisis is expected.
News that King Victor Emmanuel
will not accept Premier SaIandras res
ignation and that Salandra and Baron
Sonnino, the foreign minister, will re-
main in power is spreading like wild
fire throughout Rome and is creating
an excellent impression.
This followed a day of rioting which
assumed almost a revolutionary char
acter. The entire city on Friday was
occupied by the military.
Dispatches from Milan say that Sc
rious rioting has broken out in that
city over the present political situa-
ton.
The adherents of the opposing poIit-
ical factions have resorted to the use
OF firearms, and the situation is de-
scribed as most grave.
A riotous crowd in Rome made it's
way in the morning to the Piazza
Montecitorio, where is located the
chamber of deputies, and forced en-
trance into the building by smashing
the windows.
The moment the news of the cab
inet's resignation became known popu-
lar indignation began to show itself.
A large crowd started rushing through
the city, and there we're frequent con-
h1cts between groups holding opposing
political opinions. The police made
strenuous efforts to maintain order,
but were not sufficiently strong, and
troops had to be called out.
Dispatches received here from all
parts of Italy set forth that the receipt
of the news of the resignation of the
cabinet produced an extraordinary
sensation. At Genoa, Florence, Ma
pies, Palermo and elsewhere its re-
ceipt was followed by demonstrations.
Observers in Rome deduce from the
occurrences that a large majority of
the people are in favor of policy of
hostility against Austria
A crowd which favored Italy's inter-
vention went at night to the hotel 1T
which Gabrielle d'Annunzio is stopping
and cheered until the poet appeared
on balcony and spoke fervently in
favor of war. From D'Annunzfo's hotel
the crowd went to the palace of Dowa-
ger Queen Margherita and acclaimed
her wildly.

deasure Passed bv Assembly.

Measure Passed by Assembly.
Madison.-There are many indica-
tons that the administration has
reorganized its forces and will now
put through its program for repeating
some Of the appropriations made by
the legislature two years ago. After
the bill had been batted around the
legislature for three months, twice
having been killed, but later resusci-
tated by motions for reconsideration,
the assembly has passed the Bradley
bill to repeal the appropriation of S45,
o0s for the erection of a physical edu-
cation building at the La Crosse nor
nal school. The final vote on the
measure was 50 to 81.
The bill was opposed by Assembly
man Gruenewald of Oshkosh and As
semblyman Kurtenacker of La Crosse.
1t was favored by Assemblyman Brad
ley Of Hudson and AssembIyman Cros-
by Of Clark county.
There was nearly two hours of de-
bate over the bill to make the Dunn
coupon ballot compulsory and state
wide. Assemblyman Hambrecht said
there was too much opportunity for
fraud under the present Australian
ballot system.

FOR IDEAL OF RECREATION
Subject That Is Worthy of Much More
Study Than Is Generally
Given to II.

What women throughout the country
still need is q freer association with
other women whose standards, social,
intellectual and moral. are higher than
their own, writes Anne Morgan in the
Woman's Home Companion. AS a PEG
pie We are too inclined to seek a lower
standard for our recreation, to level
down. We seek a companionship
where no intellectual effort is neces-
sary; we choose a theater where the
entertainment furnished is q popular
musical comedy, rather than a play
with literary merit, interpreted by tai
ented actors. Certain popular maya
zines with large circulation contain
stories and articles utterly vaIueless
IN quality; other publications contain

tons by serious authors reach but few

The judge had declared his neces-

Mr.. Black had subjected him to one of
his most searching looks he decided
that this was so, and quietly departed
upon his errand. The Judge left alone,

HARDSHIPS OF THE DESERT
BY Comparison the Average Man Will
Think His Lot Cast in Most
Pleasant Places.

We are almost across the desert,
and l am really becoming interested.
The difficulties some folks work under
are enough to make many Of US
ashamed. In the very center Of the
desert is a little settlement called
Eden Valley. Imagination must have
had a heap to do with its name, but
one thing is certain: the serpent
will find the crawling rather bad if
he attempts to enter this Eden, for the
sand is hot: the aIkaH and the cactus
are there. so it must be serpent
less Eden. The settlers have made a
long canal and bring their water many
miles. They say the soil is splendid,
and they don't have much stone; but
it is such fat placeI I wonder how
they get the water to run when they
irTigate.
We saw many deserted homes.
Hopes skeletons they are, with their
yawning doors and windows like eye
less sockets. Some Of the houses,

When Mr. Black re-entered the

Andrews was Shelby's district attor-
