on the floor Of the forty-eight foot
houseboat "The Dallas" in the boat
harbor at Nahant, about four miles
west Of Davenport, the body of June
D. Sales, so years old. Waterman,
was found Wednesday by John Pol
chow, Waterman on another boat. A
large hole on the back Of Sales head
and a large abrasion on the right side
of the face gave evidence as to the
manner in which the man came to his
death while the condition Of the fur
nishings in the cabin of the boat
showed that a terrific fight had been
waged Immediately prior to the kill
ing.
At the side Of the body lay al arge
pair Of ice tongs the points of which
were covered with blood and it is sup
posed that this was the weapon useo
by the murderer. A number of bruises
covered the chest and arms of the dead
man and the body was frozen stiff. Il
is supposed that he met his deatf
about one week ago, as acquaintance
had not seen him since last Wednes'
day.
Body of Dead Man Frozen.
The body Of Sales was brought te
Davenport and coroner's jury was
sworn in. In addition to the large hole
in the back Of the head there are.sev-
eral cuts over the body where it Is
supposed he was struck with the ice
tongs. The body was frozen solid anc
where IT had rested on the floor near
the stove, numerous small cinders hao
been ground into the flesh.
Information from Burlington states
that Sales is probably the same mar
who lived In that city several years
ago. He was painter and paperhang'
er and was at one time policeman In
Burlington. The authorities have MOI

Keep the Town Clean.

Did you see your friend toss a
newspaper down on the street?
1t, in itself, was a little thing
and not of any great conse-
quence. But when everybody,
or a great many bodies, do the
same it litters up public places
and gives the town the appear
ance of backwardness and sloth-
fulness and decay which operates
as a detriment in the minds of
all progressive people, especially
when those people are from a
distance. But instead of throw
ing down papers and kicking
other rubbish into the street,
suppose each citizen should make
a practice of keeping the town
clean, and bright, and attractive,
wouldn't it be good for the eye
to see? It's easy to do-if we
want to do it.

REASON.
BY B. c. B.

Without threats, without blus-
ter, without abuse, without being
swayed by the bellowings of
the Anglo American subsidized
press, the President has per-
sisted in practical proof of the
statement he made four months
ago to the effect that a nation
may be too enlightened to resort
to armed warfare.
He has proved it. In every
home in the country today there
is ineXpressible relief, that the
clouds Of evil portent have been
dispelled.
While the President deserves,
and will receive, from his own
people the tribute of personal
love and thankfulness for his
signal service, there is larger,
grander tribute Of gratitude due
% him from all mankind.
Dealing with a series of Incl
dents which warring nations
might have considered sufficient
causes of war, he has ac-
complished all that a war could
accomplish and has done it
without bloodshed. His service
to all humanity consists in de-
VeIoping Reason as a weapon
which is superior to brute force.
Where others might have gained
glory in war, he has won the
finer distinction of a victory
over war itself.
Germany has honored herself
as great nation in recognizing,
With the United States, the
power of reason and as one OF
the two parties to the negotia-
tons which have proved the
unnecessity of war.
The United States and Ger.
many have together taken the
most tremendous step TOWARD
peace lasting, universal peace
that the world has ever known
Hail, Prince of Peace! We

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER %, 1915
MIR. Kitchin's Head Level.

The Times is in full accord
with the interview given the
press some days ago by Con-
gressman Claude Kitchin, OF
North Carolina, in opposition to
the proposed enormous APP
preparations for engagements of
the army and navy. Mr.. Kitchin
will be the Democratic floor
leader Of the party in the Sixty
fourth Congress by virtue of
holding the craftsmanship of the
ways and means committee and
his views undoubtedly will in
fluence Legislation to an appre-
ciable degree. On this subject
his head is level and he refuses
to be swerved from his con-
victions by the clamor for a
great army and a greater navy,
coming mostly from the arms
and munitions manufacturers
and the battleship builders of
the North who see and are eager
to improve upon the opportunity
to further enrich themselves at
the expense of the American
people. With a sane man in
the White House who is apt to
remain there until the European
war is concluded, the chances
are remote for this country be-
coming involved in the conflict.
When THAI war shall have end
ed, the whole of Europe will be
so burdened with debt and over
come by the frightful losses of
life and the presence OF millions
of manned and inefficient men,
that no living human will ever
again witness such a struggle.
Wherein, therefore, the reason
for the United States preparing
for a war which will never
materialize? Militarism such as
the grafters, jingocs and fanatics
would have for this country has
been the curse of Germany and
is certain in the end to be the
undoing of the empire. The
people of the United States are
peace loving and want no war
with any country. Mr.. Kitchin
interpretS their wishes when he
speaks against the proposed
army and navy increases.

Senator Thomas ]. Judge of Jefferson will introduce next week in the legisla- ture bill providing for the reapportion- ment of the representation of the several counties and senatorial districts in the state.
 Reapportionment Is necessary in view of the last report of the federal census. If the bill is enacted into law, Jefferson will have four years hence Il instead of seven representatives, as at present; Mobile will have four instead of three Covington will gain one, Houston and Jackson will gain. Montgomery will neither gain nor lose, while Butler and Elmore will lose one representative
 Respecting the senate. the changes on basis of population will revert to the interest of north Alabama Several coun- ties of south Alabama have senators of their own Under the reapportionment, their population will not justify that they be represented by a senator, and thus it will be necessary for two or more to com bine in forming a district. l have grown in population. several of the districts now composed of more than one . county will be composed of only one. Because of the effect of the bill, 1t Is considered probable that a serious effort will be made to obviate the necessity of reapportionment.
