STRICTLY INDEPENDENT IN
POLITICS.
FRIDAY, APR. Z, 1916.
WANTED-A BOY

Wanted-a boy. A brave,
courageous, manly, hopeful boy;
one who is not afraid of the
truth; one who scorns a lie; one
who hates deceit; one loves his
mother; one who does not know
more than his parents; one who
has the courage to say mo- and
stick to it.; one who is willing to
begin at the bottom of the ladder
and work upward; one who thinks
it unmanly to smoke; one who
thinks an education worth striv-
ing for; one who is willing to obey
his superiors; one who knows his
home is better than the street;
one who doesn't believe the mar
velous tales told in the story pa
pers, and will not read the vile
stuff; one who will not cheat in a
talr game; one who won't be a
sneak and do a mean act when
unseen; one who, won't spend
every nickle he earns or gets; one
who thinks he should respect
himself in decent appearance; one
who won't annoy an old man, or
one of weak mind because he is
feeble and defenseless; one who
won't torture dumb animals; one
who won't steal; one who won't
swear; one who won't listen to or
repeat nasty stories; one who
won't do a dirty act for another
boy who is too cowardly to do his
own meaness; one who loves to
do right because it is right.
Wanted-a boy; a whole-souled,
earnest, honorable, square boy.
Where can he be found? Does
he live in your neighborhood? Is
he member of your family? Do
you know him?

The Mexican situation does
not seem to clarity much as
time passes. In fact it is more
complicated now than when our
troops first crossed the border.
In spite of the fact that our cav
airy has defeated a detachment
of Villas troops and is still pur-
suing them southwark, Villa him
self has escaped into new terri
tory and his present whereabouts
is somewhat of a mystery. He
is said to be some distance ahead
of the pursuing party and going
further south every hour. This
means that our troops are being
drawn further into the interior
of Mexico and further away from
assistance and supplies. Should
Villa turn at some conveniet place
and with several thousand sea-
soned soldiers administer a Sc

the greatest man in Mexico and
the armies of the other leaders
would doubtless desert to a man
and join his forces to exterminate
The hated "gringos." President
Wilson and his cabinet no doubt
fully understood the serious ma
lure of a conflict with Mexico and
kept out of it as long as possible.
Now that it has been forced on
US they will use every method to
bring it to a successful and rapid
close. However, few people re-
ally appreciate the difficulty of

less a large army is placed in the

liable to prove long drawn out
affair and occasion much loss of
life and great expense. We can

mean time sit tight and trust to
the wisdom of those in command,
In other words, don't rock the
boat.

SEIZE BEAUTIFUL SPY
AT AMERICAN BALL

Geneva, Aug. 16.-Two dramatic in
cidents marked the great ball and con-
cert given by the American colony in
Lausanne in behalf of the fund for
the Allied prisoners of war and the
invalid Swis soldiers.
In the middle of one of the dances
Swiss detectives entered the Casino
and arrested young and beautiful
Spanish woman on a warrant charg-
ing her with being a spy in the pay of
Germany. The incident created a
great sensation, as the prisoner has
been for some time a popular and
prominent figure in the best society in
Switzerland.
The second sensation occurred short
ly before midnight, when Herr
Schmidt, formerly Austrian Consul at
Lausanne, and director of the Palace
Hotel, made insulting references to
the Allies, and was promptly knocked
down by a well-known Swiss resident.
The manager Of the Casino summoned
the gendarmes, and both Herr Schmidt
and his assailant were arrested.

TO ASK COURT
TO INSURE CAPE
FRISCO CLAIMS
Knehans Wants Franchise
Upheld Before Roads Sale
Is Approved.
PETITION is BASED
UPON TENNESSEE CASE
City Counselor to Leave For st.
Louis Conference
Tomorrow.

Federal Judge Sanborn of the
United States District Court will be
asked by the City of Cape Girardeau
to both define and secure the rights of
the city under its franchise with the
Frisco Railroad, before he approves
the recent sale of the road to the group
of Eastern capitalists.
City Counselor o. A. Knehans early
tomorrow morning will depart for st.
Louis where he will have a conference
with George 3. Webster, attorney re-
tanned by the Commercial Club to aid
in prosecuting the case of the city
against the Frisco.
Mr.. Knehans yesterday afternoon
declared that because the city now is
on record as notifying the purchasers
of the road that the city expects the
franchise to be maintained, the way is
open for new intervening petition of
the character which he will file.
Judge Sanborn will take up the sale
of the Frisco August % when mo-
ton for the sales approval will come
before the court. Other unsecured
creditors of the road who hold bonds
of the Cape Girardeau & Northern
Railway also have filed petition seek
ing to have the sale quashed until def
mite arrangements are made for TAX
ing care of unsecured creditors.
The petition which will be filed by
the City of Cape Girardeau is based
upon an opinion of the U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals which held that I'M
der similar circumstances in TenneS-
see, the court may define and secure
the rights of city under franchise.
This case is a suit between the State
of Tennessee and Quintard, and Judges
Taft, Clark and Lurton held that un
der circumstances parallel to the Cape
Frisco situation, the court could order
the franchise contract maintained.
The Cape stands in the position of
an unsecured creditor with reference
to the Frisco Railroad. The sea wall
that was to have been constructed, the
new station and favorable freight
rates all have been neglected by the
Frisco and the city is now seeking to
have the Court order an absolute main
tenance of the franchise before the
Frisco sale is approved.

R. S. EDWARDS and
HIS WIFE CELEBRATE
Well-KnOwn Frisco Engineer Has
Been Married Is Years
Unique Record.

r. S. Edwards, the well-known Fris-
co engineer, and Mrs. Edwards yes
terday celebrated the eighteenth ami
versary of their marriage at their
home, IA South LOrimier street. They
were married in Winslow, Ariz., Au-
gust 16, 1898. For the past Is years
they have been residents of this city,
and Mr.. Edwards has been running an
engine over the Frisco.
In recounting his experiences in the
cab of a locomotive yesterday, Mr..
Edwards named a number of cities IN
old Mexico through which he ran an
engine almost quarter of a century
ago. These cities have figured prom
inently in the Mexican war during the
past six years.
There are few railroad men in the
United States who have enjoyed as
long a service as an engineer as has
Mr.. Edwards, and none who have had
fewer accidents. In 25 years of con-
tinuous service, he has never killed OF
injured a person, but he himself has
suffered several mishaps, but has not
been seriously injured. Four times in
his career his engine has jumped the
track, once in California.
He has operated an engine over rail
roads that enter old Mexico; in Ore.
gon, California, Arizona and spent
four years running through the Rocky
Mountains on the Denver & Ric
Grande. He also was an engineer fol
the Great Northern.
Before he became a railroad engi
neer, he toured the world several times
on the U. S. Battle Cruiser Chicago
the first steel cruiser built by the
United States. He was a fireman or
this vessel for four years, during
which time he visited every country
on earth which has port, and made
friends in every land.
He is one of the most popular men il
the employ of the Frisco Railroad. Mr.
and Mrs. Edwards have two children, {
daughter, Is years old, and an infan
son.
