THE RAISING OF LONG FORGOTTEN
STANDARDS.

THE best thing" the New York Herald says,
in a strong editorial on the Presidents program Tor
national defense, that has come out of the South In
recent years is Senator John Sharp Williams, OF
Mississippi. The worst, and it is said with sorrow,
is Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia" On the day
the Herald editorial appeared, the New York World
had a John Sharp Williams editorial from which the
folIowing-the opening and the closlng-ls quoted:
Small politics and smaller politicians received
q castigation long to be remembered, when in the
United States Senate Thursday John Sharp Will
Hams of Mississippi, addressed himself to them for
a few minutes. Evidence Of MIR. Williams ability
has not been wanting in the past, but on this occa-
sion he asserted commanding leadership In a body
that has not been notable of late for a high average
OF craftsmanship. = " =
1--WE believe that Mr.. Williams speaks not only
for the better part of the South but for the better
part of the entire country. He is as bold as truth
and as circunspect as justice. Formerly it was not
unusual for a senator of the United States to rise
above craftsmanship and address himself to the wei
fare of the whole people. In his revival OF stand,
ards long forgotten by those who play politics and
ignore duty, Mr.. Williams honors his country, his
State and himself"

SHOWS SHOOTING
WAS PREMEDITATED

According to testimony offered in
the coroner's inquest yesterday af-
ternoon at Harrington, investigating
the killing of 11-year-old Roy APP
pleberry, it was brought out that
the deed was premeditated In the
process of the game Of war, which
the boys were playing it is alleged
that the Appleberry boy struck the
stiles boy on the leg with a rock. He
became angered at this and going
after a rifle came back and fired.
In case the STILES boy is accused of
the killing the authorities will be
confronted by a complex and queer
case, as he is only II years of age.
DR.. E. NJ. Blachly. clerk of court,
happened to be in Harrington yes
terday and served on the jury,
which adjourned late yesterday and
had not reached a decision today.
The youths in the game become
confused on the witness stand and
the testimony offered conflicts and

OVATION FOR BRYAN AT
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

ed by President Wilson as temper
airy chairman.
Chairman McCombs today wired
Brainbridge Colby of New York an
invitation to joi b the Democratic
party. His action was based on Col
by's reputation of Roosevelt, for
whom he made the nominating
speech in the Progressive conven-
ton.
McCombs' action is the most strik-
ing development of the Democratic
effort to find way to kidnap the
four million votes of the Progress
sive party which they considered or
phaned by Roosevelt's decision not
to be the third party candidate.
Enact the Susan B. Anthony
amendment before congress adj
journs or fight"
This is the ultimatum to be de-
livered to the Democratic resolu-
lions committee Thursday by the
National Woman's Party.
Women leaders will not be salts
fled with mere favorable mention.
The demand will be made for ac-
ton. The women claim enough votes |
n the twelve suffrage states to de-
'eat any candidate.

Address Breeders and Farmers

]. w. Johnson OF the Mail ant
Breeze has the following to say Of
the meeting planned for Saturday
June IT. when the business men
promoting it, have purposed to per-
feet an organization of the stock
men and farmers of the county and
vicinity.
Dickinson county very likely has
more pure bred stock breeders with
in its borders than any other county
in the state. There are probably so
| breeders in the county and Will }
they are not all breeders on a bis
scale they are prominent farmer.
= and stock raisers and men that are
helping to put Dickinson county on
the map as a pure bred stock cen
ter The business men of Abilene
have always done what they could |
to encourage better stock raising and |
better farming and are very proud
of the fine herds of the county.
Other counties are organizing breed
ers' associations and recently
movement was started looking to
such an organization in Dickinson
county. The Abilene Chamber of
Commerce appointed five of her best
boosters as a committee to arrange
a big breeders and farmers ban
quet which will be held in Abilene
the evening of Saturday, June II.
The afternoon will be devoted to a
of matters that are of
general interest to breeders and a
prominent speaker will address the
meeting. In the evening the ban
Iuet will be served and all breeders
and farmers who are interested in I
better farm animals are invited /
There will be plenty of music and a
zig time is anticipated. If you live :
= Dickinson county you are ex-
,ected to help by getting everyone Y
Who is interested out in both the !
