Congress and from a political
vie wpoint this was a valuable as
set; yet with all this advantage
as we see it in his favor as
against Mr.. Porter's availability,
Gen. Howard could not succeed
against Mr.. Sims, and there was
a reason = the reason being that
the people felt that they had in
Congressman Sims a man wholly
equipped for the place, who
stands as high as any man in the
Congress of the United States,
and whose every effort and at
tention has been to serve the
people of this district. The one
thing that Porter can say that
Gen. Howard was estopped from
using is that he has never held
an Office and believes in rotation
of public officials. This is an
argument however. that appeals
only to the few-the very few
that aspire to office, simply as a
place for themselves in the gov
ernment service. The voter now
appreciates that it takes tenure
in legislative body to get rank
and results, and the tendency
everywhere is to keep the faith
full representative just as long as
he will honestly serve them.
During Mr.. Sims long career he
has never cast vote of which
he is or was ashamed, or for
which it was necessary for him
to apologize, nor has Mr.. Porter
challenged a single vote or act
of Mr.. Sims twenty years of
activity, sufficient of itself to re-
elect the Congressman.
Every vote he has cast has
been in keeping with principle;
he does nothing for expediency
or for show; he has none of the
qualities of the professional poll
tician and shuns notoriety and
evades the press agent, He is
conferred with by President Will
son in presenting the administra.
tion measures and enjoys the es-
TEEN and confidence of the
President and Congressional
leaders.
| Our interest in Mr.. Sims dates
back many years before he en-
tered public life. He cannot
boast that one grandfather was
a Governor and the other a mem.
ber of Congress as does his op-
ponent, but his grandfathers
were of the sturdy farmer class
who earned their living by the
sweat of the brow. Mr.. Sims
had to make his own way in ev.
erything he has undertaken in
life. AS a struggling young
man he was known to be so hon.
orable end dependable that he

GAINS HEADWAY;; MANY
LARGE CONTRIBUTIONS
Committee Is Meeting With
Much Success In Soliciting
Funds For Building
LIST OF CONTRIBUTIONS is
GIVEN FOR PUBLICATION
Several Thousand Dollars Yet
To Be Raised Before Work
On Building Starts

AS the summer months wear
away and the date for the annual
opening of Grove High School
again approaches, interest in the
proposed dormitory for the boys
is rapidly increasing and the
members of the finance commit
tee are making every effort to
secure all contributions necessary
as early as possible in order to
get the work on the building
under way as soon as is practic-
able.
Already a good portion of the
amount needed, $4,000, has
been subscribed by the people of
Paris and Henry county, who
have shown greater willingness
!, to give than was hardly expect
I'd. However, there are a num-
Aer who have not been seen by
sfnembers of the committee, and
who, for that reason, have not
subscribed.
While the members of the
committee are devoting as much
time as possible to the work, all
of them have other duties in con-
nection with their business af-
fairs and for this reason it will
probably be impossible for them
to see each and every person.
However, they have appealed to
the citizens of town and county
to come to their assistance and
make possible the early erection
of the needed dormitory.
w. G. Johnson is chairman of
the committee and those who
have not had an opportunity to
contribute to the dormitory fund
can call Mr.. Johnson, or any
member of the committee, and
have their subscriptions entered.
The dormitory has been badly
needed for a number of years,
and it will mean much to the
Henry county boys who desire to
attend the high school, and live
too far out to go and come daily.
and all friends of the school are
glad that it is soon to be erected.
Following is list of those
who have contributed to date,
and others will be announced
later:

Atkins, $l00; Mrs. A. E. Rison,

 "Rumania is in a serious position said the premier In an interview. "She became false to her historical aims and now must atone for it. The geographical position of the country showed clearly a road which should have led to an alliance with Germany and Austria Rumania has been denuled and mislcl by her success Of 1912 and now the coun- try has fallen into German hands Such a collection Of mistakes could not remain unpuuished
 "Rumania alreaiy had lost her in- dependence, as the Russian censor and the Russian policemen ruled the land She is entirely in control of the generals and general starfs of the entente"

Washington Receives Be- lated AdviCeS About Dutch Steamers
 Mail Seized.
INQUIRY TO BE MADE
Officials Discuss the Mail Extension of Censor of British on the
 Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Nov 10. The Dutch steamer Arakan, bound from a Dutch port in Borneo to Mantle, was held up on the high seas Aug. 30 by a British war yessel and all her mail was taken of. according to advices reaching Washington yes teriay. No official explanation has reached the state department and an inquiry may be made as to why a neutral vessel bound from one neutral port to another and far re- moved from ,hc war zone, was sub- jectcd Co such treatment.
 Great Britain some time ago ex- tended her censorship 10 vessels plying in tho Far East bU; so far as is known never before has seized mail out5ide British waters or on such short l3col voyage. Several instances of seizures in Far East ern waters, including the Chinese Prince and the Ka,ue cases. pro- voked such oppositio" here that the British foreign office finally made informal expressions of regret and agreed to change her policy.
 Great Britain's explanation Of her extension of the censorship to the Pacific has been predicted on ru- mors that Manila is being used as the base for a German Indian iunta looking to revolution in India. No formal representations, containing this charge, has been made, how ever, and thirty Germans and Aus trlans, asid to have been driven from Shanghai for plotting and seiz- ed some time ago on their way to Manila. were released on complaint by the United States.

At intervals small showers would come up and the Alaskans would all hit for the open and stand in the rain. The . Fasteners made lots of fun Of them for this peculiagity but they did not icare. There were no blankets in the lcamp and on retiring the boys re- moved their clothing on account of the heat During the night it be- came so cold that they were all forced to get up and dress and they shiyered and shook until morning Later the boys "wised up" and se- cured lighted lanters to put under their cots during the night to keep them warm.
