States" and the epithet, "Byzan-

into his teeth in the course Of a
verbal blast produced by the Ma
tional Council of the Teutonic
Sons of America, in executive ses-
sion here today. The excoriation
took the form of a. letter adj
dressed to the colonel through G.
F. Hummel, national president of
the organization. The epistle set
forth that at it's meeting the ma
tional council had resolved that
Colonel Roosevelt s reported out
bursts against what he calls pro
fessional German-Americanism
are, if true, conceived of hypoc-
risy and born Of insinccrity.. and

DIED OF HEART FAILURE
Mrs. s. ]. Bachelor Passed Away
at the Home Of Her Daugh-
ter, Mrs. V. L. johnson,

Mrs. Sarah Julia Bachelor
died Saturday morning about
eleven clock at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. V. L. johnson, on
East Dakota street, from an at
tack of heart failure.
She had just arrived at the
home of Mrs. johnson to spend
the day and was sitting talking
to her daughter, who was in an
other room. Mrs. johnson asked
her a question and not getting a
reply stepped into the room to
see what was the matter and
found her mother unconscious. A
physician was hurriedly called
but she brcathed her last soon af-
ter his arrival.
The deceased was born January
I, 1s41, at Meadville, Pennsylvan-
ia. and at an. early age moved
with her parents to Frankfort,
Kentucky, where she was united
in marriage, January 7, 1863, to
John B. Bachelor. To this union
were born four children, two Of
whom, Mrs. V. L. johnson of this
city, and R. A. Bachelor of near
Appleton City, survive. She is
also survived by five brothers, DR..
w. H. Allen, of Rich Hill; Dir. E.
n. Allen, of McAllister, Oklaho-
ma Rev. II. C. Allen, Sanger, Cal
ifornia; J. D. Allen, Jefferson
City, Missouri; and R. T. P. AL
len, Brantley, Oklahoma, and one
sister, Mrs. w. c. Bewley, of La
monte, Missouri.
In 1873 the family moved to
Appleton City where they resided
for eighteen months when they
moved onto a farm in Deepwater
township, this county, where they
resided until about five years ago
when they moved back to Apple
ton City, where Mr.. Bachelor
died February II, 1915.
Early in life she united with the
NJ. E. Church, South, and lived an
earnest christian life. She was
essentially home woman, de-
voting herself almost entirely to
her home and family and those
who were so fortunate as to be
admitted to her friendship could
not but be iQe uenced by her
strong christian character. Her
end was peaceful and she had Of
ten expressed desire to go that
way.

tenn of good roads will ever come

the communities where the roads
are located is objectionable de-
ception.
The State has many difficult
problems to solve; problems that
would become expensive, compli-
Gated and annoying under super
vision Of the ambitious but uner-
perienced; problems that require
technical knowledge, knowledge
that can be gained only from
years Of public service and exper-
fence, and the most assiduous
study and devotion.
Safeguarding of expenditure,
skillful conserving of resources,
eliminating inequalities of taxa
ton, and such other matters as
those suggested, call for thorough
training in statecraft, intimate
and comprehensive knowledge of
State affairs and needs, mature
and dependable Judgment, famil-
iarity with administrative law,
and proven business capacity. I !
am confident that democratic vot-
ars recognize the special prepared

ne as their choice.

Official Report on His Record.

The members of the Legislative

in their findings on the office Of
Secretary Of State Cornelius
Roach now a candidate for gov.

sistance Of expert accountants,
the committee said:
"Your committee finds that the
clerical force employed in the Of

appropriation to cover the same,
and that no new positions have
been created in that office or sal
aries raised except as authorized
by law and by appropriations
made to cover the same.'

Where The Judges Come From.

The appointment Of Judge John
Il. Clarke Of Cleveland to be q
Justice Of the Supreme Court will
make him the seventh man from
that State to occupy seat on
the Supreme Bench. This keeps
up Ohio's high reputation for Of
fice-filling, as only New York,
with eight Justices, has done bet
ter, and that State, by the way,
has had one Of it's sons on the Su-
preme Bench every year but four
for the last ITO years. Massachus-
etts with six Justices, Maryland
and Pennsylvania with five each,
are other States which have con-
tributed largely to the makeup Of
the highest tribunal of the coun-
try. Of all the Justices who have
been appointed since 1889, when
the court was organized, but five
have come from west of the Mis-
sissippi, and California has fur
nished two Of those. Iowa and
and Kansas are other
Western States that have fur
nished Supreme Court Justices.
