"UP IN THE AIR"

The absolute uselessness of the Zeppe-
lin for other than observation purposes was
never more clearly demonstrated than dur
ing Saturday nights raid on the environs of
London when with the loss of two dirigibles
nearly twenty per cent-the sky ban
dts killed twenty-eight men, women, and
children, and injured ninety-nine, besides
setting fire to number of private resi-
dences damaging railway station, and
wrecking a church.
The business of war is to kill or capture
the men who are trying to kill you, and not
to run chances in order to do something
that won't help you even if successful. Re-
cent Zeppelin losses have been heavy, and
they are not compensated by single Eng
1ish trench blown up, single English SOL
der disturbed, or a single military exploit
performed-merely few unnecessary and
unimportant killings.
Because of its enormous size, a Zeppelin
does not dare fly low enough to place its
bombs with anything like precision. If the
Zeppelins were not such an absolute fail
ure they would drop bombs on transport
ships laden with troops; they would blow
UP forts, and annihilate fleets at their leis-
ure. Instead of which they attack and STAY
the people whom their own invading armies
hold inviolable-and are decimated and
double-decimated in exchange.

Court Has Spoken

Advices from Tallahassee are to
the effect that the supreme court of
the state has issued a perempoty
order to the state canvassing board
to recount the returns of the June
primary, as corrected by a more re-
cent recount in several counties.
1t is evident that the defense put up
by the attorneys for S. ]. Cats has
fallen down, completely, and that
there is no reason in law or morals
why w. V. Knott should not have the
benefit of a recount.
Every allegation of fraud seems to
have fallen flat when subjected to the
scrutiny of the court, and it has de-
veloped that certain Cats supporters
did not hesitate to resort to perjury
in order to bolster up their case.
From all the information obtain
able, the recount now ordered by the
supreme court will disclose beyond
any doubt, whatever, that w. V. Knott
really received the largest number of
votes at the June primary and that
he and not S. ]. Cats should have re-
ceived the notification of nomination

UP AGAINST IT.

Verify, the Republicans have fallen upon
evil days Nowhere is the handwriting
more plainly evident than in the Republi

less time to cheering the undiluted candi-
date and more and more to advising him
lust like rooters at a baseball game who
when things are going we'll proclaim the
virtues of their team until they are blind
and hoarse, but when the other side is
ahead shrek aloud to hunt or run or for the
love of Pete not to muff that fly!
Says the New York Post, Hughes or
gan, discussing the second vote-stalking ex-
hibition of the 100 per cent candidate:
"But Hughes will need to watch his STEP and if
his speeches are to abandon the direction which
many have thought nagging and unfair, and to be-
come directly argumentative on few large topics,
nos ena tbe De talk that helped Nominate
La Toilette will Lot be taken kindly
What is it that makes the Post so ur1-
easy about the tour through the Middle
West, where the Progressive vote still
counts heavily?
The Progressive, Harry Garfield, head
Of Williams college, together with Chas.
w. Eliot, has gone over to Wilson.
Chas H. Davis, formerly of Philadelphia,
one of the men who is financing the Pro-
gressive Party, has also joined the Wilson
League.
John NJ Parker, vice presidential NOM
inee of the Progressives, is to stump the
Middle West against Hughes
The Ohio State Journal, formerly Re-
publican, with Progressive leanings, has
become a Wilson organ.
Senator LaFollette has suddenly found
previous engagement that will prevent
his taking part in the 1ove-feast arranged
for Hughes in Wisconsin, Alas that tho
spirit of Governor Johnson should so haunt
him!
Then of course the Amos Pinchot letter
in support of Wilson!
If as the New York Post says, high
tariff talk is dangerous, Hughes will be
stripped entirely of issues-a pitiable plight
for the Republican Rebecca-for Judging
by the singing rebuke William Allen
White, editor of the Emporia (Kans.) Ga
zette, a Republican organ, administered
Hughes for carping at the eight-hour law,
that plank will soon have to be abandoned.
Hughes has been so silent regarding our
foreign policy lately that we incline to the
belief the undiluted candidate has discov-
cred how intolerable his belligerent poll
cies are to people who prefer peace.
Remains however the south-baiting
plank. This however is not a real plank
a 100 per cent plank, for Hughes wouldn't
use it in the South. Still half plank is
better than no platform.

81, % and % at San Diego. The event
will be four-point show, with out
right wins. The finest cats in the
United States are to be contestants
for 100 per cen. more cups than were
offered at the San Francisco exposi-
ton in 1915. Mrs. A. E. Banks, who
is prominent in San Diego society,
has been appointed cat show manager
and the interest that has been ~arous-
ed leads her to predict show that
will give additional enthusiasm to cat
fanciers in the west. Pedigreed cats
will find plenty of classes in which

of "'Tabby" will not be overlooked
and a score of cups have been given
for the best of these.

THE SCRATCH PAD

Never mind September Morn-Sept-

The Kaiser is trying to find the fell

Hughes, on tour, continues to lose

A Hold Up

n hOl0 Up
1t was somewhat amusing to read in
our morning contemporary, the es-
teemed Sentinel, that the supreme
court had decided that no fraud in
the recount of the Hamilton county
vote had been shown by the state can
vassing board, with the Illuminating
line at the conclusion of the dispatch,
"This upholds Cats" Our esteemed
contemporary probably intended to
say that "This holds up Cats" A
simple little Encouragement of the
wording would have made the state
ment somewhat accurate. Of course
the public will not be misled by such
raw misrepresentation of the facts.

In all probability it will reveal w. V.

inee of the democratic party.
If that shall prove true, and the
Cats faction, or party, adheres to it's
threat to run its candidate, regardless
of the decision of the court, the real

Peel Off Your Freckles

To remove freckles, blotches or any

do is to remove the skin itself. This is
easily and harmlessly done by the ap-

skin, a little each day, gradually bring

At the Front in Mexico-With a

The SNUG churchgoers in the

the absence of sectarian niceties in
the conduct of the service. The four
chaplains were cheered and applaud
ed as each in turn clambered onto
the soap box rostrum to preach or
lead in singing. Cigarettes and pipes
glowed in the darkness.
"Vaudeville Numbers"

personal observations that drew un-
restrained laughter from their hear
ers. BY invitation of the chaplains

ARMOUR VISITED
BY COSTLY BLAZE
DAMAGE ESTIMATED AT $780,
900 CAUSED In FIRE START
ING in BAKERY YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.

Armour, S. D.-Fire consumed ten
of the principal business buildings
i'll this city late yesterday afternoon,
all located in the central business
block on the east side of the main
street. The fire alarm was turned
in at 1885 O'Clock and originated in
the Walther bakery from an un-
known cause, although defective
electric wiring is thought by many to
have started the conflagration.
Total damage may reach as high
as 100000. Nearly all of the in
dividuals owning burned property
carried insurance to nearly cover the
loss. but several had allowed the in
surance policies to lapse and will be
heavy losers.
Flames Sweep Block.
Famed by strong wind from the
east, the flames spread rapidly in
spite of the efforts of the local fire
department The flames first started
north, but later turned south, leav-
ing on the north the two-story brick
building occupied by the Edwards
hardware store at the north end of
the block and the one story frame
building on the south end of the
block.
The Intervening ten buildings were
burned to the ground with a total
loss, with the exception of what
stocks of merchandise was moved
out. At $50 o'clock the fire was un-
der control. but smouldering all
night and required careful watching
in the high wind which continued.
At one of the most critical moments
the pumps at the pumping station
gave out and for Is minutes no
for this accident. the damage might
have been considerably less.
Heat Cracks Windows.
Buildings across the street were
badly damaged by the heat and wa
ter. Glass in the windows was brok-
ell in all the buildings with the ex-
, ccption of the Armour State bank,
on the south end of the block. The
merchants in this section moved most
of their goods from the buildings and
a great deal of damage was caused
in this way. The buildings burned
were one owned by C. w. Taylor, the
Gem theatre, owned by II. j. Cruch-
EFT, the bakery, John Moran's barber
shop. the pool hall, two implement
houses owned by T. j. Barrett, a sa-
loon building owned by the Hamm
Brewery company, Timothy Norton S
jewelry store and a notion store.
Many of the buildings burned were
one-story structures and all were
frame buildings.

mittee yesterday by General William

army has had no good military maps

necessary for defensive purposes.
At Charleston, S. c., where a de-
fensive problem was worked out by
the army, the engineering depart
ment found the latest map to be one
made in 1863 by the confederate en-
gineering corps. Black asked for an
appropriation for food for hospital
dogs. War dogs have recently been
given the army, he said, but there
has been no appropriation for feeding
them.
