side in defense Of the acts OF his admin
istration-
Speaking before the National Grain
Dealers Association at the Princess The
ater here, the President answered even
more sharply than in his speech OF
Saturday the charges Of inefhctency
made against the Democratic administra-
tion by Charles Evans Hughes.
Showing an earnestness that kept his
audience listening intsntIy, the President
hammered home with emphasis a sum-
mary OF those achievements Of his ad-
ministration which he declared would
prove Of great benefit to the business
men Of the country.
The President was greeted with roof
raising demonstration as he entered the
theater.
I'VE want wilson-he is a life-saver. -
yelled one enthusiastic man in the rear
Of the hall The cheering that followed
was almost deafening.
I'VE should divest ourselves Of the
consciousness that we are in the midst Of
a political campaign" said the President
at the outset. Nothing ever so inter-
fered with the serious conduct OF public
business as a campaign.
7 want to talk about the business OF
the country. The agricultural acreage Of
the country should produce twice as
much as It does now and 1t will IN a
decade from now"
The President then launched into a Wig
orous eulogy Of the Federal reserve act
We have swung into a new business
era" he said. Not until the Federal
reserve act became a law were American

Indiscriminate Sale of Weapons De-

Indiscriminate sale of firearms was de-

President A. ]. DriscoI. before the
Mid-City Citizens Association, said: THE
present wave of crime, resulting ir mur-
ders and attacks, Is due to the fact that
dangerous weapons are so easily obtain
ed by irresponsible persons"
The Central Citizens Association ar
raigned dealers who sell weapons indis-
criminately.
All three bodies adopted resolutions
asking the District Commissioners aid
toward effecting legislation to prevent in
discriminate sale of weapons
The Central Citizens Association, be-
side opposing the present manner of dis
posing of weapons in the District, advo-
Gated a closer watch on the sale of junk,
which they said is stolen and sold with
impunity.

MILK DEALER Offers
To DISPOSE OF PLANT
c. c. Dade Suggests Producers Pay
Royalty of 2 Cents a Gallon.

At the meeting Of the executive COM
mittee Of the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association, to be held today
in the Munsey Building, It Is expected
that definite plans will be adopted to-
ward the campaign to establish nnuni-
cipal dairy in Washington.
The following letter was received by
The Herald last night from a prominent
milk dealer Of this city:
Washington Herald-As the milk pro-
ducer wants from to cents more per
gallon for his milk and Is threatening US
with a municipal plant If he does not
get IL, you may say for me, If any or
all of them want to put up a satisfac-
tory bond to pay me cents per gallon
net profit for what I am putting out to-
day. for the next ten years, 1 will turn
over my entire plant. c. G. DADE.'
The statement cited above Is probably
just what all the dealers Of this city will
demand should the municipal dairy be-
come reality. Most of the dealers who
fectly willing to turn over their business
to the producers If they can obtain a
reasonable price.
Commissioner Newman said yesterday
of the possibility of a central municipal
dairy plant in Washington:
I am heartily In favor Of such a plan.
as It has been demonstrated that the
ordinary methods Of distributing milk
are Uneconomical, unsatisfactory and un-
profitable
Tt is absurd for a dozen milk wagons
to cover the same territory each day,
and IN some parts of the city as many
as eight wagons serve milk in the same
block. Establishment Of a municipal
dairy Is, of course, a very radical pro-
posal, but there are times when such a
monopoly is best for the public welfare.
7 certainly hope the producers will
be successful in their efforts to obtain
the central plant, and I shall be glad
to do all in my power to aid the pro-
Ject."

WOODMAN CONSTABLE EXCITED.
"ROugh House" In Northern Village
Causes Rapid Trip to Lancaster.

Constable Louis Koenig of Woodman
township, made a Lancaster call last
Tuesday afternoon in search of Sher-
if He'll. According to reports man
named "Bill'' Hill started something
in the village of Woodman on Mon
day of last week and being possibly
of bibulous nature partook of enough
"ioy water to make him feel his
fighting ability. At any rate it is
said that Mr.. Hill became pugnacious
and used abusive language terroriz-
ing some of the citizens of that baili-
wick. No one seemed willing to take
Mr.. Hill on for few rounds, and the
constable seemed at a loss as to what
action to take in the matter. At any
rate, he came to Lancaster, and as Mr..
He'll had gone to POtOsi to attend the
Masonic services in progress there,
he followed the sheriff southwark.
The Woodman officer of the peace
was directed to Justice G. w. Burrows
of this city for a warrant, but as the
district attorney happened to be alb
sent, and as Mr.. Burrows has no au-
thority to issue papers without his
orders in a case of this kind where
the state may be liable for the costs,
no action was taken.
1t is reported from Woodman, that
Koenig went to Boscobel the day fol-
lowing his trip here and arrested Hill
in that city. Hill, it is said, paid fine
and that apparently ended the mat
ter.
The constable could have saved
himself the trip here had he been
aware that under his authority he has
the right to arrest any person acting
in violation of the peace and dignity OF
the State of Wisconsin, and its citi-

ROAD WORK BIDS LET.
Highway improvements Due For
CassvilIe Village In Near Future.

County Highway Commission Hen
ry Mink was a Cassville visitor last
Tuesday when bids were opened on
the work called for in that village. The
job in question consists of 1900 feet
of roadway between the school house
and the village limits on the Cass-
ville-Beetown road. 1000 feet of
guard rail will be put up and 1850
yards of filling done. There is also
81 yards of culvert work to be in
stalled and 220 yards of riprapping
necessary along a ditch.
w. H. Welsh of Potosi, was the sue
cessful bidder at the following fig
ures: Guard rail % cents linear foot;
culvert work, $3.50 the cubic yard ;
riprapping, $2.121a the cubic yard;
filling, so cents the yard. Mr.. Welsh
recently completed the job on what is
known as 1.-The narrows" in record
time, as barely a month elapsed be-
tween the start and finish of the work.
He is an old contractor, having spent
the last twenty-five years on govern
ment and other contracts, and has a
reputation for fast and careful work.

HELD FOR JUNK THEFT
CasSvilIe Man Held For Having Grim
inal knowledge of Missing Brass.

Sheriff He'll went to Cassville Fri
day morning and brought back with
him two junk dealers of that village
and three small boys. The trip was
occasioned by a search for evidence
pertinent to the theft of brass parts
from the planning mill of Kleinpell
Bros, where, on April 22nd two, and
again on May 18th, six Simmer
heads" were taken feloniously and
burglariously-in other words "stol-
en-"
brass part connected to the saw
blades, and is valued at about $1,000.
The total amount of the thefts equals
more than $100, and is worthy of SER
iouS attention.
The district attorney questioned
the three small boys, whose names
are withheld with the hope that they
become decent men, obtaining evil
dence of a nature that warranted
holding Everett Wilcox, of Cassville,
junk man. 1t is said that Wilcox
acted as a fence, or receiver of
stolen property, and in this case in
cited the youths to purlOin the brass
fittings. 1t is also intimated that Will
cox ignobly paid the boys five cents
a pound for the stolen brass, when
other junk men were paying twelve
cents a pound. Wilcox waived exam
ination and was held over to the fall
term of court on bail of $500. Tenn
porarily he was conducted to the
county bastile where he will remain
until bail is furnished.
Peter Vvstr, another junk dealer,
who claims to be of Polish descent,
was questioned by the district attor-
ney, and may appear later as wit
ness in the case.

ly equipped with necessaries and lux
uries for life on the rails. AS stated
before, the men forming the party will
be made up from the heads of Mil
waukee's leading jobbing, manufactur-
ing and financial institutions who are
DESTROYS of learning about the local
industries to the advantage of local
business people and Milwaukee. The
leading Milwaukee newspapers will
have representatives on the train who
will write up the stops in each city,
thus affording an excellent opporouni-
ty for mutual publicity.

"The Milwaukee men will apprec-
late the opportunity to meet the rep
resentative business men of each city
visited to learn what each city has to
offer in natural resources and lines
of manufacture; also, to establish a
community of interest between the
State of Wisconsin and its neighbor-
ing states. The Milwaukee men wish
it understood that they come to re-
ceive as we'll as to furnish informa-
ton; that this trip is intended to be
a reciprocal affair of advantage both
to the visitors and to the places visit
