Hard to Please Everybody.
Bridgeport Farmer.)


 With complaints because the presi- dent will not call a war in Mexico, and MT. Roosevelt's mouring be- cause the president does not fight eor Belgium, and MT. Bryan's assertion that the president wants too much preparation, comes Col. Harvey, with a plaint that the president has too much power to start a war, more he says, than any of the crowned heads of Europe. Nevertheless Europe is fighting with might and main, and America has no war. The theoretical powers of the American president would be more disturbing if MT Roosevelt were in the White House. The president has at least as much power to keep the peace as he has to start war. Mir. Wilson is all for the exercise of the peace power, but MT. Roosevelt is strong for the war power.

Rumors have strange way of coming to the fore. It is rumored that the Kaiser is suffering from cancer. The old-timers recall the fact that his father. Emperor Frederick, died from the same disease and at the same age which the son has now attained. Rumor has it that the present Elm peror is about to die. But that is mere rumor.

SENT BACK To JUAREz
American Forces Pleased With Ga
vira's Return to Border.

Field Headquarters, July 3, (via
wireless to Columbus, N. Mo-Mili-
tary authorities here received reports
today with much interest that Cen
Gabriel Gavira, formerly commander
of the troops of the Mexican de facto
government in northern Chihuahua, is
to resume his command in Juarez.
1t was pointed out that General
Gavira before his recent departure to
Mexico City, where he was summoned
for a conference with Gen. Alvaro
Obregon, Mexican minister of war, had
shown a disposition to cooperate
with the American forces, especially
after his conference with General
Pershing at Casas Grandes at which
plans were discussed for joint cam
paign against bandits.
1t seemed generally assumed that if
General Gavira returns to Juarez it
would be an indication of the inten-
ton of the de facto government to CO.
operate more largely with the expedi-
tionary forces.

FATE IN BALANCE
Restoration of Belgium De-
ponds on Allies Effort.
Germans New Policy Threatens
COnfiscation of Nation.

The Hague, Netherlands, July g.
The complete restoration of the indie
pendence of Belgium is the object of a
call to the neutrals of the American
republics, the three Scandinavian
states Switzerland and Spain, which
has been issued over the signatures of
12O university professors, artists, writ
ers, and other well-known men of Hol-
land
1t is declared that the government
and parliament of the German empire,
alone of all the belligerents, have Of
ficially declared that they will en-
deavor to put an end to the indepen-
dence of a neighbor state. Various
utterances of the imperial chancellor
are quoted as bearing this out, ana
are interpreted as meaning that ne1tn-
err in a military nor economic respect
nor even in the arrangement of such
questions as the relationship between
the two languages of the country is
Belgium to be mistress in her own
house.
The call tos the neutrals says the
whole world, with the exception of
| Germany and her allies, is convinced
that the robbery of any state what
ever of it's independence must be re-
garded as a crime and as a source of
| fresh wars. 1T seems to us neces-
sary,' it continues, that this principle
shall now be uttered as the emphatic
demand of all neutral peoples-neceS-
sary in order that those contemplate
| ing an assault on a small neighbor
may feel less inclination thereto in the
knowledge that such assault will not
go unpublished; necessary, too, for
the support of those in Germany it
self who detest the annexation policy
The neutrals have the right, duty and
power to sit IN judgment where the
defense of the highest interests OF
humanity is concerned. They can re-
fuse to maintain relations with a state
which beforehand declares it's inten-
ton to use a small neighbor to pay
the score when the reckoning day
| comes"

JUDGES POETIC REBUKE
Presidents Daughter Wins Jurist's
Support for Community House.

Washington, July 3.-Miss Margaret
Wilson can feel she has the law with
her in her fight to establish commune
ty forums throughout the country.
The poem read by her at forum
meeting here had that significance,
since it was written by Justice Wendell
Phillips Stafford of the district SUI
preme court.
This court appoints the very school
board that has refused to allow the use
of district public schools as meeting
places. In a way, the learned justice
administered rebuke to the school
board.
THE FORUM
Make wide the doorway of the school
Around whose sill the millions wait
The cradle of the common rule,
? The forum of a stronger state,
Make broad the bar, and big appear
The questions clamorous to be tried,
And let the final judges hear,
Themselves, the causes they decide.
Write bold the text for age to read
The lesson not discerned by youth;
And raise the altar of creed
Whose only article is Truth.
Though fair and dear the ancient mold
Wherein the burning thought was cast,
Pour not the New Worlds glowing gold
Into the patterns of the past.
Whatever channels lead apart
The currents of the lives of men.
The blood that left the Common Heart
Shall leap with common pulse again.
Wendell Phillips Stafford.

BALDWIN TO CELEBRATE.
Many State Officials Will Attend At
fair Tomorrow: Baker Gives Play.

Baldwin, Kan, July 3.-Elaborate
plans have been made for celebration
CT the nations birthday here tomor-
row. Governor Capper has promised
to be the orator of the day and will
lead large delegation of state Off
Gals from Topeka. The surrounding
towns were expected to send large del
egations.
A feature of the day was to be the
presentation at night in the gymna-
SUM building of Baker university of
an historical play to be acted by local
players. Much time and expense have
been expended in making the perform
ance complete and the presentation
was expected to give an intensely pa
triotic finale to an eventful day.
The play is built around the turbu-
lent times before the Civil war in Kan
sas and the battle of Black Jack which
was fought four miles east of Baldwin
and was one of the small but impor-
tant guerilla battles of the Civil war
period. John Brown, the famous lead
er, led the Union forces in this border
conflict
Following the governors address
sports of all kinds will be engaged in
at the athletic park. Prizes have been
offered for all events. Some of the
best bands of the state have been Sc
cured for the day for the benefit of

SWAT MOSQUITO
INITIAL BLOW IN
MALARIA FIGHT

BY SAMUEL G. DIXON, NJ. D., LII. d.
(PennsyIvania Health COMMISSIONER
Malaria is said to have fastened the
downfall of Rome.
The mosquitoes which transmitted II
were more deadly to the inhabitants
barian enemies. Much also has been
written of similar injury to Greece in
yet earlier times.
at least two diseases are carried by
certain species of mosquitoes; malaria
and yellow fever All species are dis
agreeable pests.
Have you unwittingly permitted
mosquitoes to breed about your house
or grounds? Even one old tomato can
half filled by the spring rains makes
an ideal breeding ground. 1t is sur
prising how many hidden pools one
can find around a place if you really
go on a hunt.
Not infrequently drain pipes become
clogged and then tin roofs and cutters
for thousands of mosquitoes.
Communities that suffer rom these
pests should cooperate to campaign
effectively against them
Even the smallest adjacent pools
should be filled up or ditched and
drained. If these are too large to be
filled they should be treated with pc
troleum. This floats atop the water
and kills the mosquito larvae by shut
ting off the atmosphere. When the
wind causes movement of the water
which breaks up the oil coating it
must be re-oiled. Swamps can be sim
ilarly treated.
A survey should be made of all
premises. Rain water barrels should
be covered. Tin cans or discarded
vessels on rubbish piles should be per-
forated, smashed flat or buried.
