Ply PERCY ARNOLD.

St Louis, May 31.-Colonel Roose-
Welt served notice today that he was
fighting for certain principles and will
fight for them whenever they are found
in any party and in any individual"
1t was one sentence of a speech burn
ing with vitriolic condemnation Of
President Wilson's attitude on pre-
paredness and military service, which
his audience variously interpreted as
indicating the coloneis readiness to
analgamate once again with the Re-
pubIicans-if they lived up to his be-
Hefs-or his determination to again
herald those principles through a
third party. The colonel himself did
not enlarge on this once sentence and
left to his audience the task of apply
ing it to fit present day conditions.
Lands Hard on Wilson.
Not in months has the colonel been
so scathingly denunciatory as he was
in his treatment of President Wilson's
belief as expressed yesterday in the
chief executives address at Arlington
National cemetery. He scored Wilson, s
statement regarding universal volun-
tary service declaring the word vol
untary'' came within the score of those
words which he had previously char
acterized as weasel words"
The former president prefaced his
attack on the executive by declaring
he wanted respectfully to take issue
ana he frequently remarked he was
taking issue ''courteously." but not
one in his audience listened to the
speech as anything but a vehement
Vituperative dressing down of the
Democratic leader. He denounced
lofty words" not followed by deeds
all concrete "Pickwick abstract words
unless those abstract words were
ready to to be applied to concrete
cases The sage of Oyster Bay
branded as an Infamous falsehood'
the charge which he said had been
made that the munitions manufactur-
ers were behind the preparedness
movement.
Pacifists-MentaI JOyriders
His attack was punctuated with
typical Rooseveltian epigrams-"men-
tai joy rides" as referring to the paci-
fists position, classifying Bryan and
Ford nice amiable men whom |
like to see in private life The pres
ident's phrase, 'compuision of the spir-
it. in his Memorial day speech of
yesterday was one which particularly
aroused the ire of the Progressive
chieftain. He compared this sort OF
plan for military service with truant
school children's law where it was
construed to mean that children would
have to attend school ''if they wanted
to-"
"If we trust to the 'compulsion OF
the spirit of Americanism,' " the colo

owe SHAWNEE CASH
Washington Man Has Faith in Federal
Debt-Would Collect 1t.

Reeves T. Strickland, of Washing
ton, D. c., believes the federal gov
ernment owes Shawnee county some
money for keeping federal prisoners
in the county jail, and the county
clerk and commissioners have given
him authority to go ahead and collect
it if he can.
Shawnee county charges the gov
ernment forty cents day for all fed
eral prisoners kept here. That has
been the charge for over a quarter of
century. Strickland holds that the
government ordinarily pays more
than that in other states. He has been
furnished a statement covering the
first quarter of 1916.

Postponed.

On account Of the heavy rains
the wagons to collect the rubbish
raked together from the yards
will not make the rounds until
Thursday and Friday, April 18th
and 14th.
Meanwhile, all who have NOT
already cleaned up their premises
should do 30. Well kept yards
add 90 much to the value of your
property to say nothing Of the
appearance. New mining inter
ests about here will naturally
bring many strangers to town,
some of whom may be looking for
a clean healthy place to live.
Let's greet all strangers with
clean lawns, streets and alleys,
remembering that the first i'm
preston is the most lasting one.
Burn all dead grass, leaves, and
rubbish Of all kinds. Place in
one heap all old cans, ash piles,
rock, etc. in some convenient place
and Il will be hauled free of cost.
When ready, notify Ed Polster.

Sewers Needed.

We are told that the city coun'
Gil is seriously considering the
matter of q sewer system for Bax'
ter Springs. This is as II should
be. A sewer system is badly
needed, and If there are any who
do not think SO the steam roller
should be applied.
No town ever attains any de-
gree of importance unless Il has
a system of sewers. And II would
be very easy to put in 4 system
here. The drainage Is good and
IL would be very easy matter to
get rid Of the sewage.
We hope the city council will
push the matter to a head.
Councilman Lundgren tells as
a special meeting will consider
the matter very soon.

The Election.

The election started of very
quietly Tuesday morning, and In
asmuch as there was no opposi-
tion on the printed ballots to the
nominees II was not thought the
affair would be very exciting.
But along during the day a cou-
pie of dark horses were sprung.
Some of Bert Shields friends cir
culated around and got voters in
the Second ward to write his name
in the blank place on the ballot,
and by doing this he defeated
Gus Lundgren, whose name was
the only one printed on the bal
lot, by 4 vote of &c to 20. In the
Third ward Jim Simmons was
brought out against Jim Barnes,
but he did not have such luck as
Shields did, and received only 16
votes, while Barnes received 80.
In the First ward, Conuor had no
organized opposition and was re-
elected.
