name for him that ia known the
world over and has shown ability and
fearlessness in trying situations. In
other words. his patriotism and firm
ness is unquestioned. Should he
decide to stand on his past record
for llace in history he would no
doubt be credited as one of our
greatest presidents. But, like
Roosevelt he might live long
enough to lose his high standing.
Wilson would be considered by far
a greater man should he refuse to
stand for his high position second
time. 1t was expected of him that
one term would be his limit when
he first became president. Like all
other administrations, his has not

unreliabiIity Of the capital city
daily as q news dispenser may be
thoroughly known throughout the
county. Our readers will notice
that the Tribune article attempts TO
convey the impression that the evil
dence was in before the case was
dismissed. This is far from the
truth. The Lynn case was dismissed
on technical ground because of
an error in the proceedings and the
Record is in receipt of q letter from
Mr.. Watkins. of the state enforce
ment league. stating that Attorney
General Linde has promised to start
the action at an early date. The
Tribune article on the matter fol.
lows:
Rev. F. l.. Watkins attempt to have
States Attorney Harry c. Lynn. of En-
mons county. removed from office for
failure to enforce the state liquor laws
fell down hard. when the case was dis
missed on petition of Attorney Lynn by
Governor Hanna yesterday.
Watkins presented his petition for the
removal Of Attorney Lynn some time
ago. The petition was supposedly
signed by five qualified electors of EN-.
mons county. Later a petition was
presented by Attorney Lynn asking for
dismissal Of the case on the ground,
that the persons signing the original
petition asking for his removal were
not qualified electors of the county, and
furthermore that one Of the men wa, in

Misrepresentation. H. J. Mayer. the
man who signed The petition. and one
of the affidavits on the strength OF
which it was drawn. later withdrew his
affidavit. Two of the others were no,
qualified electors Of Emmons COUNTY
and consequently had no legal right Ia
sign the petition.
Governor Hanna held a hearing in
the matter October 10Th. and yesterday
issued an order for a dismissal of tn.
case.
The above case is being pointed to a:
only fair example Of what few dis
gruntlcd "busybodies" can do to en-
barrass county official. There wer,
little or no ground on which TO base IN,
charges against States Attorney Lynn
and furthermore affidavits to supper

methods along that line are of a cues
honable nature to say the least. H,
seems to work on the theory that /
takes dozen or more wrongs to max,
one right.
Regardless of that fact, the cas-,
against Attorney Lynn fell down hart
and there was nothing for Coverno
Hanna to do but dismiss the charge
against the Linton man. There is
strong possibility the Rev. Watkin

VISIONS SEEN BY SOLDIERS
Men at the Front Firmly Convinced
They Have Been Witnesses Of
Supernatural Things.

In periods of great national stress,
when the responsibilities facing
people call for an effort superhuman,
the mind is more prone than In times
less tense to place dependence upon
divine aid and to believe that super.
natural powers are exerting their
might.
This tendency is embodied In a lit
tie column entitled 1.-THE Bowmen and
Other Legends Of the War" written
by Arthur Machen.
The potent character of these tales
Of latter-day miracles is we'll exempli.
fed by the fact that the story Of 1.-THE
Bowmen," with its allusion to the ap.
pearance of supernatural host, has
been accepted widely in England as
fact.
Upon its publication in serial form,
there came to the author scattered
inquiries from editors Of occult jour.
nails as to the foundation of the story.
When the author denied that his COM
position had any basis in fact, to his
amaZement, some of his correspond.
ents maintained that he must be mis-.
taken. In provincial papers hot con-
troversy was waged regarding the
exact nature Of the appearance.

have occupied themselves with the
matter. Doctor Horton preached about

SANTA'S BALES
REMAIN STORED
IN WAREHOUSES;
BEARS KEEP CHRISTMAS MONEY
FROM CIRCULATING.

In Americus warehouses today are
stored twelve thousand bales cotton
which, if sold even at eleven cents,
would put $66o,oOO-nearly three
quarter millions-in circulation here.
Usually by this date the cotton crop
here has been sold and the proceeds
applied to payment of debts and MAX
ing purchases, but the eagerness of
cotton mills to get the remnant of the
1915 crop at their own prices, together
with conditions abroad, combine to
keep prices below the point at which
holders would sell. The fact that
$660,000 worth of cotton is tied up
here, together with large lots held in
warehouses in nearby towns. curtails
to very great extent the volume of
currency usually circulating in Amer
icus at this season.
