HUGHES:
REFUSES

Washington, Nov. 18.-Associate
Justice Hughes of the supreme court
notified the secretary of state OF Ne
braska that he would not be a can
didate at the coming presidential
primary election and requested that
his name be not placed on the ballot
A formal declination of Justice
Hughes to which he took oath before
a notary and which was telegraphed
to the secretary of state at Lincoln.
follows:
"A petition having been filed with
you on November 13. 1915, requesting
that my name be placed upon the off,
cial primary ballot Of the Republican
party for the primary election to be
held in Nebraska on April IS, 1915, as
candidate for the office of president
of the United States, 1 hereby notify
you that l decline the nomination
made by this petition, or similar petit
tions and request that my name shall
not be placed upon the ballot for such
primary election"
There are differences Of opinion in
political circles, here, as to the technic-
al effect of the declination. The attor-
ney general of Nebraska has been
quoted as saying that Justice Hughes
could not withdraw his name from the
primary ticket. On the other hand,
Nebraskans in Washington contend
there is no question as to his right to
withdraw.

Has Burke Found That
Politics Will Not Mix
Well With Reserve Bank? ?

Washington, Nov. 1S.--Former Gov
ernor John Burke, of North Dakota, now
treasurer of the United States, is hav-
ing some various experiences in fight
ing the Minneapolis federal reserve
bank. The suspicion Is growing that
the interest which Mr.. Burke was TAX
ing in the bank was political in
character and was designed to aid him
in his projected fight for United States
senator. Secretary Willis, of the fed
eral reserve board. denies there ever
has been any thought of removing the
bank from Minneapolis and Treasurer

to move the bank from Minneapolis. ]

In God triumphant, we beheld.
The beauty of Gods grace.
Dear Mother Booth, Saint Catherine"
Whose burning words still speak
with them we lay this gathered sheat
At jesus blessed feet. 49,,

To our broad prairies grand
We've longed to see you, hear you
speak;
We serve our Lord with you.
AS onward to the war you lead
The yellow. red and blue.
We long to gather to the blast
OF trumpets blown for God
And charge the enemy Of souls
On North Dakotas sod
Here's glory to the dear old flag
Glory to Christ, our King
For when our beloved commander
comes
The harps in heaven ring.

sued statement to the effect there
was no disposition to move the bank
and intimated clearly that it did not
like the suggestion made by Mr.. Burke
which not only suggested political use
of the bank but intimated clearly that
he and the secretary of the treasury
had political influence to punish or
reward federal reserve banks which
went above the heads and authority Of
the federal reserve board.
Inasmuch as the treasury depart
ment, because of the fight between
John Shelton Williams, Secretary Nc
Adoo and others with the Riggs bank
had created the suspicion that politics
was creeping into the treasury de-
partment, the administration is sup
posed to have been displeased at Dir.

suggestion that he would use his in

IS NOW LAWFUL
 TO SHOOT QUAIL
Bag Limit is Fifteen Birds Must Have Written Per
 init from Landowners.

The open season for quail as pre- scribed by the new game law be- gan yesterday and will end Jan- 31, and is the most eXacting of any law regulating the killing of quail that has ever been in force in Ar kansas. Protection of the quail from ruthless slaughter and protec- tion of owners of enclosed lands are the two important features of the law.
 It limits the bag of the hunter in any one days shoot to 15 birds, and requires every person hunting upon enclosed land to have a written permit from the owner or manager of the land. He must have that permit in his possession while hunting on the grounds, Be- fore the enactment of the present law there was no bag limit in Ar kansas, and the open season began November l and ended March 1.
 License on dogs must be taken out with the game and fish com mission.

Holds Conference With Perkins, Progressive Chairman, Then Says Bull Moose Party
 Will Continue to Exist

Isaw old-time political enemies come into power, but revenge with the Colonel is sweet, and when the re- turns had been wired from the sev- eral corners of voting U. $. A. on the night of the November cleo tion, and the total vote showed the choice of Woodrow Wilson for president, he smiled serenely at the thought that the faction in the re- publican party that had repudiated him had been washed beneath the waves.
 Today Col. Roosevelt feels very much as he felt three years ago. He is not so bitter, perhaps, as he was during the memorable Chica- go convention when the steam roll CT zig-zagged across his ambitions and flattened his political carcass on the convention hall, but he be- lieves that the child of his polltl- cal imagination should be permit ted to live longer than three years, and, accordingly, the Bull Moose Baby will be fed from the ColoneIs own bottle at least until after the next election. This much was made known this morning, follow ing a conference between MT. Roose- welt and Geo. Perkins, chairman ot the progressive party. Col. Roose- welt, according to a statement at tributed to him, has absolutely no publican party.

CHANGES MADE IN
 RURAL DELIVERIES
Paragould Loses One, Wal colt One and Marina
 duke One Route.

Following up a policy of strict retrenchment upon the part of the postffice department, three rural routes in Greene county were yes terday discontinued, effecting an annual saving of approximately s1,- y28 to the government.
 Route No. 2, running out o1 Paragould and serving patrons south of the city was discontln- ued, leaving six routes now being served from the local office. Route went down the Pekin road to the Craighead county line, then back between the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt tracks. The total dis tance covered was fifteen miles and it is stated about one hundred and thirty-five families were serv- ed. Randle Mitchell carried the route. The families heretofore served by No. z, will hereafter be served by Louis Schwamb, carrier on route 1. He will go down the Pekin road to the county line, then back up between the railroads to the Willcockson crossing, then west and south to Gubertown, then north to Woods Chapel, then northeast to Rock Hill, then back into Para gould.
 Route No. 2, out of Gainesville is discontinued, and the patrons will be served by route out of Paragould, and route out of Mar maduke.
 >, Some slight changes have been made in route 4, out of Paragould, in order that the carrier might cover more territory.
 Route 1 out of Walcott has been discontinued, and the patrons will be served by route out Of Para gould, and route 1 out of Beech Grove.
