Tightening the screws on the liquor
crowd. If we are going to have
prohibition why not enforce the law
and stop these big cities from selling
whiskey and breaking the law Treat
all alike. If we remember correctly
our big city dailies were greatly
alarmed a few weeks ago about the
safety OF our state and laws, because
a few citizens took a guilty criminal
out of prison and hanged him to 4
tree. If the big dailies have the we.-
fare OF our state at heart and want
to punish the law breakers why not
go after some of these who have been
violating the prohibition law right
under their nose. Why this differ
ence? We understand it depends on
which side the big dailies are getting
their money. ooh consistency thou

Great Britain Organizes New
Cabinet to Govern During
the Hostile Period.
KITCHENER STILL ARMY HEAD
He Is Relieved of Some Duties, but
Churchill Leaves Admiralty for
Cuieter Berth.

London, May 26.-Great Britain has
organized a new national cabinet tc
govern the country during the war.
The change was made necessary by
the general dissatisfaction with the
work of the retiring ministry in fail
ing to pursue the war more vigorous
ly. An especial fight was made on
Winston Churchill, first lord of the adj
miralty, and on Lord Kitchener, secre-
tary of state for war.
The new cabinet is composed of men
of all parties If the United States
were at war and the president should
dismiss his old cabinet and form one
composed of representative men of
the nation-Democrats, Republicans,
Socialists, etc-the situation would be
the same as it is in England at pres
emit.
Kitchener Holds Job.
Lord Kitchener retains the post of
secretary of state for war in the new
coalition cabinet which has received
the approval of King George. The new
first lord of the admiralty will be Ar
thur J. Balfour. Winston Spencer
Churchill, former head of the admir-
atty, is given the portfolio of chancel-
lor of the Duchy Of Lancaster.
Herbert H. Asquith retains the pre-
miership, and Sir Edward Grey the
ministry of foreign affairs. David
Lloyd-George, chancellor of the ex-
cheQuer in the old cabinet, is minister
of munitions in the new one.
A place in the cabinet was offered
to John Redmond Cthe Irish Nation
alist LEADER, but he did not see his
way to accept it.
The prime minister has decided
new department shall be created, to be
called the ministry of munitions,
charged with organizing the supply of
munitions of war. Mr.. Lloyd-George
has undertaken the formation and tenn
porary direction of this department.
The Complexion of the Cabinet.
The cabinet is composed of twelve
Liberals, eight Conservatives, one La
borite, and one ncn-partisan. Thir-
teen members of the old cabinet re-
main in Office.
The most prominent figure who re-
tires from public life is Viscount Hal
dane. His affiliations with Germany
and the continued newspaper attacks
based on these, made his retirement
as inevitable as Prince Henry of Bat
tenberg's retirement some time ago
from the admiralty for the same rea-

WANT THE EMBARGO LIFTED
Packers and Cotton Interests to Urge
President to Step the Euro
pean Blockade.

Washington, May 25.-Prisident
Wilson will be asked to take steps. to
secure the British order in councils
suspension, so far as it affects Ameri-
can exports to neutral countries con-
tiguous to Germany.
The country's great packing indus
tries are effecting a ombination with
the Southern cotton interests. The aim
is to secure concerted action, thus i'm
pressing the administration with an
idea of the damage that is being done
to American trade by the attempt of
England and her allies to starve Ger
many out.
In order to do so. it is complained
that England has practically stopped
American shipments to the neutral
Scandinavian countries. practically
every vessel carrying either meat
products or cotton to Scandinavia or
Holland having been held up on the
high seas by British or French war
ships and taken into port The own
ers of vessels and cargoes have been
compelled to fight for their rights in
the British prize courts and there
have been delays that have caused
them serious financial less.
President Wilson is to be asked to
demand in the name of the United
States that this be stopped.

MAY HURT AMERICAN TRADE
Washington Fears New Declaration of
War Will Affect Commerce
Switzerland Cut Off.

Washington, May 24.-Italy's decla-
ration of war on Austria created
sensation in official and diplomatic
quarters here, for while the announce
ment was not unexpected the addition
of another power of. the nation to the
number of Delligerents in Europe
brought out a variety of speculation
on the military effect of the new OPP
erations on the conflict as a whole,
and the possible attitude of Rumania,
Bulgaria and Greece.
1t is taken for granted in diplomatic
quarters here that as result of the
declaration of war against Austria,
Germany and Turkey as the allies of
that country, will announce a state of
war with Italy. Switzerland then will
look after Germany's interests in
Rome, while the United States is ex
pected to take charge of Italian in
terests in Berlin and Constantinople.
One of the subjects on which infor-
nation is awaited with much interest
is the attitude of Italy toward the ma
val operations of the allies, whether
Italy will subscribe to the order-in-
council making all commercial inter
course with Germany and Austria
er the same rigid rules as to contra
band will be enforced by the Italian
fleet as by the Anglo-French feet.
The situation of Switzerland is like
ly to be cause of much concern, for
should the same rules as to ultimate
destination of cargoes be put into eff
feet with respect to shipments con-
signed for trans-shipment through
Italian ports as imposed by the allies.
the little republic, isolated in the cen
ter of Europe without sea outlet may
suffer seriously. Already there has
been much difficulty in getting s::p-
plies to Switzerland and it is believed
Switzerland will press hard for ar
rangements with the French and Ital-
ian governments to obtain products,
giving guarantees against re-exporta-
ton.

DENIES ROBERTS BOND PLEA
Terre Hsute Election Fraud as Bad as
Treason, Says Federal Court
of Appeals.

Chicago, May 26.-The United States
court of appeals yesterday refused to
lower the bonds of ex-Mayor Don NJ.
Roberts of Terre Haute, Judge Eli
Redman and nine other convicted con-
spirators now serving sentences at
Leavenworth for election corruption
Judge Frank S. Roby of Indianapolis
pleaded for the men,
Not one of these men has over
$780, pleaded Judge Roby.
"Fenury," replied the court, lis no
reason why the bonds should be low

The court compared the election
cases to the famous dynamite case,
both of which were tried by Judge
Anderson in Indianapolis The verdict
yesterday sustains in full Judge An
derson's decision.
In the dynamite case, said the
court, the defendants committed a
crime against society. In this case
they committed a crime against the
government. 1t can be compared to
treason"
The court set the week of June 81
for arguments to be heard here on
the application for a writ of error
made by Judge Roby in behalf of the

BECKER SENTENCE UPHELD
New York Police Lieutenant Must Die
Unless Governor Uses His
Pardonine Power.

Albany, N. Y, May 26.-The second
conviction of former Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker for instigating the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, the New
York gambler, was upheld yesterday
by the court of appeals. Becker now
must die, unless he can obtain execu-
tive clemency from Governor Whit
man, who as district attorney of New
York, prosecuted him, or can obtain
reversal by the United States su-
preme court.
Rosenthal, the gambler, was muir
dered because Becker feared he would
"sQueaf' on their connection with a
gambling house. Becker had an in
come far in excess of his salary, which
he received as protection money from
gam bling houses. Rosenthal had been
his partner, but the police lieutenant
broke with him.
Rosenthal was shot down on the
morning OF July 6, 1912, in front of
the Hotel Metropole. A big gray mo-
tor car had driven up to the curb
only a few moments before. Rosen-
thai was called to the street from the
cafe, where he was dining. The men
in the car opened fire and Rosenthal
fell dead. The big car raced away.

CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
OF April or about as early as in Illinois
and Iowa Oats and barley followed.
Information is to hand that on first
of May all seeding was practically fin
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking. and the land for sum-
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their land prepared
last fall, will be later than the others,
but as the spring in Western Canada
has been very open they will be only
q few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
splendid lot of moisture and the
lack of rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number of farm
ers who have gone into the raising OF
cattle has been considerably in
creased, and the preparation for ex-
tensive cultivated grass pastures is
in evidence everywhere. The culti-
walton of fodder corn is being largely
entered upon in Manitoba there be-
ing upwards of $4,000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be a
large increase in the area planted, and
In Alberta many of the more progress
sive farmers are taking hold of it.
The yield varies according to the cul-
tivation it receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where it has
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved in ripening and it is
expected that variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
6ofo
for the growing of marketable corn
equal to that it has now for the
growth of smaller cereals
A trip through Western Canada re-
veals field after field of alfalfa, the
growth of which in any portion of
the country is now absolutely assured.
When these facts are made known to
the farmers of the corn and alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers is so well known, there
will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage of the splendid gift of 16O acres
of land made by the Government of
the Dominion of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands of some of the railway COM
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
of February a large number of in
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large
percentage of sales made to settlers
in the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to others who will
take up farming in place of different
occupations previously foIlowed.-Ad-
