Sharp County record., 1915-05-07

The Record has been cOntending
for a long time that there is screw
loose somewhere in the administra-
ton of government in this state,
and because of that contention this
paper has in certain quarters been
branded as liar, pessimist, crank
and other things too numerous to
mention. But recent investigation
proves there are numerous screws
badly loosed, and that the money of
the taxpayers has been floating
about promiscuously, much of it
missing the state treasury, its prop
er place. This state has long need
ed good political cleaning. 1t has
been plundered to the limit of en-
duranCe.

A dispatch from Washington last
,veek stated that President Wilson
expects to become a grandfather
asaip within a month, as an event
of importance is anticipated at the
home of the Secretary of the Treas
ury and Mrs. William G. McAdoo, ),
Mrs, McAdoo being the second
daughter of the president. The
dailv papers, without the least SEM
blance of a blush, continued with
the story to the effect that this IN
formation was obtained from a
hieh source, and that arrangements
for the event are already under
way, We have often wondered if
the hieh-ups enjoy getting their
names in the papers of the country
in that sort of fashion. We have
the idea, too, that in all parts of the
country there are babies on the
way to the world, and we are won
deripe lust what would happen if
some paper about like the Record
should publish an advance notice
of an event of that kind. We warn
o,lr readers to be on the watch, be-
cause we may conclude to try the
experiment.

RUMORS OF
CABINET SPLIT
BERS OF BRITISH MINISTRY
ARE TO QUIT.
OPPOSE ARMY BILL
II Is Declared that They are Oppos-
ell to the Governments Propos-
ed Compulsory Military
Service Measure.

LONDON, Dec. 81. Reginald
McKenna, chancellor of the ex-
chequer; Walter Ruciman. presi-
dent OF the board Of trade, and Sir
John Simon, secretary of state for
home affairs. will resign from the
cabinet because of opposition to the
compulsory service plan. it was ru-
mored when parliament met to-
day to consider the conscription
bill.
The resignation of the three min
listers was rumored earlier in the
week, but it was reported later that
Premier Asquith's conciliatory ef-
forts had succeeded and that they
would not leave the ministry.
Thus far there has been no con-
firmation of the report that Lewis
v. Harcourt had quit the cabinet,
though it was rumored he was to
be viceroy to India. This report is
credited in many quarters. Three
separate drafts of bills on compul-
sorry service were presented when
parliament met. The bills embodied
the views of each faction in the
cabinet. One draft, said to have
been fathered by the government.
provided not only for the enrolment
OF unmarried men, but provided for
the drafting of married men also.
The other two bills contained less
drastic proposals relative to the
enrolment of unmarried men.
