REP. kL,NkER's BILL.

p. ]. Klinker, our representative, is
proving live wire in the legislature.
One of his latest bills is to restrain
candidates for Office from OVERRIDING
in the way of advertising and in at
tacking their opponents. The bill is
what may be counted novel one and
is attracting some attention on that
account. Following is the text of the
bill:
whoever writes, prints, posts or
distributes or causes to be written,
posted or distributed, a circular, post
er or advertisement which is designed
to promote the nomination or election
of a candidate for public office or to
influence the voters on any constitu-
tional amendment, or to influence the
vote of any member of the legislature,
unless there appears upon such circu-
lar or poster or advertisement, in a
conspicuous place either the name of
the chairman or of two officers of the
organization issuing the same or of
the person who is responsible there
for, with his name and address, and
the name Of the printer, shall be guilty
of misdemeanor and be fined not
exceeding 500, or imprisoned in the
county Jail not to exceed thirty days,
or by both such fine and imprison-
ment. Provided, that nothing in this
act shall apply to the editorial or
news advertisements of any magazine
or newspaper where the same is not
a political advertisement"

u. s, SHOULD INTERVENE.

We do not imagine conditions in
Mexico could be more deplorable than
they are at this time. If they can be
worse, they are certainly drifting in
the direction that the strongest Ian
guage will fail to do justice to the oc-
casion.
It, seems that the foreign represent
atives in Mexico have decided to
withdraw and it is intimated that con-
siderable dissatisfaction is lodged
against the United States as some, If
not number, of the foreign govern.
ments believe the United States is to
blame in part for the unfortunate con-
ditions which exist there. 1t is
claimed that if Woodrow Wilson had
joined with the other foreign govern.
ments and had recognized the Huerta
government that something like a
stable government would be in force
in Mexico at this time. But Woodrow
Wilson refused to recognize the Huer-
ia government and in effect declared
war against him and went SO far as
to take possession of portion OF the
country, which but aggravated the
M6XlCdlS duu UIOuSHC IlO OcIciit "
the United States or any other gov
ernment.
1t is said now that the United States
will not intervene unless assassina-
ton is resorted to by the MeXicans, in
which case the United States would
feel justified in interfering. We Won
der when everything points to assas-
sination of foreigners and the de-
struction of their property whether
it would not be better to intervene just
before the assassination occurred
rather than just after it. We regret
that the United States has put itself
in place where it is the subject of
bitter criticism not only of the Mexi-
can people, but of many governments
who have. citizens and large financial
interests in jeopardy in Mexico.
We apprehend that before the pres
ent administration ends it will gain
the reputation of being weak and in
effective in its foreign policy, for the
reason that up to date it has not shown
any particular qualities OF statesman
ship in dealing with foreign questions.

SHAW ENDORSES ROOSEVELT

Hon. L. M. Shaw, in an interview in
Washington a few days ago, took oc-
casioh to declare his choice for candi-
date for president on the republican
ticket in 1916. He expresses pref
erence for Theodore Roosevelt; not
Theodore Roosevelt, a progressive, but
Theodore Roosevelt, republican.
We have too much faith in Mr.
Shaw's republicanism to believe that
he would advise the nomination OF a
man for president who would not
stand squarely on the republican plat
form, at the same time lie would advo-
cate the republican party to adopt a
platform SO conservative that any up
to- date republican should not hes
itate to stand upon it. If Mr.. Shaw
meant to convey the suggestion that
Roosevelt should be nominated for
the republican candidate for president
without his showing some evidence of
q desire to give up denouncing that
party, then we are unalterably op-
posed to the suggestion. II he means
that Mr.. Roosevelt shall give up some
of his heresies and show that he can
stand upon ahepublican platform, then
it is another question. We have no
quarrel with Theodore Roosevelt. We
think he made fine record as presi-
dent when he filled the office. Our
faith in the man, however, was shak-
en- when he adopted the course he did
at the Chicago convention after he
failed to secure the nomination. Be-
fore we commit ourselves in favor OF
Theodore Roosevelt as candidate
for president we should like to know
where he stands and how he regards
the republican party, because if he has
not experienced a change of heart
since his recent utterances, we do not
see how he could consistently run for
president as a republican.

The question of adding another
room to our school building has been
discussed with interest lately and was
to be voted on at the election Monday.
Quite a number think that an excel

our schools to be on the accredited
list. Others contend that enough pro-

that attend and that compulsory at

John Meeves. The treasurer elected
was NJ. NJ. Remey.
Mrs. j. N. Lee gave very pleasant

TRAIN SERVICE POOR.

If this community had no other evi-
dence to show the contempt which the
railroads have for the wishes of the peo
pie, they can find enough in the treat
ment accorded the travelling public in
going to and from Charter Oak to Den
ison. We do nots believe that II the
management of all the railroads pass
ing through Arion could meet together
they could plan schedule which
would cause more inconvenience than
the one which is now in force with
the passenger trains on the roads.
The only way that passengers from
Denison can reach Charter Oak in the
forenoon is to take the Northwestern
local west from Denison at 1926 in the
nbrning, get off at Arion and wait the
convenience of the Milwaukee in send
ing a freight along from Manila to
Sioux City. After waiting approXi-
mately an hour, passengers are told
that freight is coming on the Mil
waukee. The first stop that is made
by the freight train at Arjon leaves
the way car at an inaccessible point.
Afterwards the train moves forward
until the way car stops at point sew
eral rods west of the station and the
passengers are expected to wade
through the snow and mud to reach 1t
in order to take the car. The way
freight is scheduled to wait for the
passenger train which arrives from
Sioux City at Arion somewhere. from
$3.50 to 8 o'clock. After the passenger
train has gone then an hour or so is
devoted to switching, and between 10
and II o'clock some time the freight
pulls out for Charter Oak. The de-
lay at Kenwood is usually not very
long, but long enough to cause the
passengers to wonder when they will
possibly arrive at Charter Oak. In
the meantime the engineer, by his
sudden starting and stopping OF the
engine, bumps the passengers about
like foot balls. The train finally ar
riyes at Charter Oak; the engine stops
down near the station and the passen-
gers have the pleasure OF wading
through the snow and mud about thir,
ty rods in order to reach the station.
II Returning from Charter Oak the
passengers, if they take the evening
train on the Milwaukee, find them
selves landed at Arion after the local
trains on the i. G. and Northwestern
have gone east, and they have their
choice between hiring rig and driv.
ing to Denison or staying all night in
Arion. II one is fortunate enough to
dispose of his business in Charter Oak
in time to catch the afternoon freight
to Arion he is to be congratulated, but
the uncertainty of the time of the
freight east from Charter Oak is a
cause of much concern to one who
plans to reach Arion. The freight
may come at 2:3O or it may come at
6:3O, in the latter case too. late. OF
course, to make connections at Arion
with trains for Denison.
This Inconvenience to passengers
does not come because OF a want OF
trains to furnish them good service,
but because of schedule planned ap-
parently to ignore the wishes OF the
passengers. The railroad commission
ers should take this question up and
order the railroad companies to fur
nish something like adequate service
for people who are obliged to travel
by rail.
