Closing a four-day speaking tour OF
Nebraska, in which he made nine ad-
dresses, Leslie NJ. Shaw. iormer gov
ernor OF Iowa and secretary OF the
treasury in the Roosevelt cabinet,
spoke to good-sized audience at the
opera house here last night
Governor Shaw talked for two
hours and thirty-five minutes, yet
held his audience to the end by his
convincing manner of presenting the
facts as he saw them, corncerning tie
tariff, the Mexican situation, the
Adamson bill and few other politi-
cal situations in the same manner
which has always left his audiences in
the mood to think about what he has
said after he had gone.

At Ceresco the campaignsrs stop

joined here by c. w. Bruce OF NAL

republican committee, who spent the
day with him. The party consisted
OF numerous automobiles and some
forty persons. Mr.. Kennedy was in
troduced to the voters at Ceresco by
DR.. F. T. Wright and Malcolm An

Much Indignation is being ex-

Kennedy Meets Old Friends.
County Chairman c. w. Bruce Of
Malmo presided. He introduced
Judge Samuel Lippincot of Memphis,
Neb., a pioneer of\Saunders county
and of Nebraska, who years ago was
justice of the peace in Omaha, be-
fore whom Mr.. Kennedy tried his
second law case in Nebraska some
thirty years ago. Judge Lippincot is
also a veteran OF the civil war.
Charles H. Slama, in introducing Mr.
Kennedy, said: "He is not a peliti-
clan, but a man possessing all the
stern and unfinching qualities OF a
statesman; man that won't truckle
and man that can't be bluffed."
Mr.. Kennedy's speech, which lasted
an hour and a half, was vigorous and
forceful and his illusions to Charles
E. Hughes, Congressman Charles
Sloan and Judge A. L. Sutton
brought out bursts of applause.
At Brainard an hour was spent by
NJ. Kennedy calling on the voters.
Brainard is a Bohemian neighbor-
hood. Many of the leading Bohe-
mians assured Mr.. Kennedy today
that they would vote for him because,
they said, they admired his attitude
on strict neutrality and his unwilling
ness to make any other appeal than
to the patriotism of the American
voter. Mr.. Kennedy was introduced
about town by DR.. u. G. Marion, c
J. Smersh, Theodore Smersh, G. A.

Job. ,"The reason why the democratic
party always makes failure OF hand
ling the affairs OF the government is
because they have not had the expe-
rience necessary to run the govern

in twenty years and then only for a
short time said the secretary, and
so it is not to be expected that they
could do successful job be-. 10.
Experience Needed. \
ITO do a successful job of running
this government, man must be a
statesman; he must have had expert
cnce in statecraft, just as the lawyer
must have experience in the law, or
the doctor in mcdicine, You would
not hire an allopath to do the work
YOU wanted done by an osteopath,
neither would a Baptist church put
Presbyterians on its governing board,
A man must have experience in the
business he has charge Of. .,.
"There is not a man in Nebraska
who would have hired Woodrow Will

farm. yet we put him al the head OF

a success OF it .-...
Craftsmanship Wanted. ,.
"We are facing a situation which
will need man of experience, man
who understand law and man expc.
rienced in statecraft. When at the
close OF the war, the nations Of the
world are gathered about that'great
table to solve the great problems OF

try must have a man OF experience
as its representative, He must be a
man, firm in his convictions, strong
in his demands and, at the same time,
have the respect Of the other nations
OF the earth. Woodrow Wilson has
not shown capacity along these
lines. He has done today what he
thought was the best thing to be done

Kennedy Is Strong.

John L. Kennedy is strong in all
the places visited, while Sutton is
close behind him. Reavis is especially
strong in the First district, as is also
Sloan in the Fourth and Barton in the
Fifth. While Barton's opponent has
always had a strong following around
McCook, republicans say there is little
doubt Barton will carry the district.

No Division of
County This Year

Broken Bow, Neb, Oct. l3.-(Spe-
cial.)-The county division fight
came to an abrupt end this week and
the question will not be an issue in
this campaign. The hearing before
the county board on the petition for
the proposed northeast county was
concluded and the board found that
the petition did not contain the names
of a majority of the electors in the
proposed new county and, therefore,
rejected it.
The divisionists proposed to divide
Custer county into three parts.

WHO HELPED FAY?

TINE escape of Robert Fay, former
German army officer, sentenced
20 Federal prison for eight years
after having been found guilty OF
bomb-plotting, is received by Wash
ncton with amazing calm. There is
small evidence Of active governmental
interest in the investigation that ought
20 be made without delay. There have
been evidences Of laNity in this prison
management before. This latest de-
velopment indicates a very grave con-
dition. Unquestionably, Fay had out
side aid. The suspicion arises that he
must have had inside assistance as
well. If so. the government has a
traitor in its service.
Fay was no common prisoner. It
was important that he remain an ex-
ample OF the vigor with which this
type OF criminal is hunted down and
punished by the United States when
he offends against the national laws.
The Department OF Justice did its part

and the government made a laughing
stock by some person or persons. to
the apprehension of whom the whole
police machinery of the United States
should be devoted if necessary.

STATE BOARD CRITICISMS

\ IL sensible persons will agree
~ with the State Board of Health
in its decision TO close the
schools of the pupils under sixteen
years until September %. DR.. Dixon's
statement accompanying the an
nouncement OF this ruling indicates
that the commissioner does not take
kindly TO the criticisms of those who
objected TO Sunday schools being
closed TO all pupils. even adults. but
his prompt modification limiting the
application of the mandate to persons
under sixteen shows that he is fair
minded and desirous only OF acting for
the public good.
II must be remembered in consider
ing the action OF the State Health au-
thoriues that they were confronted by
unprecedented conditions. They had
no experience by which they could be
guided. They acted quickly to meet
an emergency. The wonder is not that
a few inconsistencies crept into the
regulations, but that there were not
more. II were far better that the
quarantine be too rigid than too lax.

More Valuable Than Gold

The manifest of the Deutschland's s
cargo, which was made public Mon
day. at the Baltimore custom house,
showed no gold. but a million and
three-quarters pounds of crude rub
Der, bar nickel and crude tin, which
is Interestingly significant as to Ger
many's situation and needs.
The Kaiser does not need gold is
with that commodity of barter as any
OF his opponents, and at least has not
suffered such diminution of his ante
bellum supply as have the others. But
even gold is valuable only for what
it can buy, and the Kaiser's store of
gold counts only so far as it may serve
his needs.
Moreover there were no foodstuffs in
the Deutschland's cargo pockets, not
even concentrates which one might
suppose the German ingenuity would
devise were the pressure of starvation
as great as some would have the world
believe. Raw materials for manufac-
ture into machines and ammunition of
war occupied every available inch of
space, and the Bremen, should she ar
rive safely in an American port,
would duck under the waiting Gordon
outside with similar cargo.
Not merely the achievement of the
Deutschland as blockade-runner, but
the character of the cargo she carried
back affords the evidence of the inef-
fectiveness of the allies fleet as a.
means of crushing their enemy. -

Is Blease to Come Rack2
Baltimore American


There is a break in the monotony
of the political news from Down
South in the early report from the
gubernatorial primary held in South
Carolina on Tuesday. 1t was a three
cornered contest for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination and Cole
L. Blease was in the running. Und {r
the South Carolina law a candidats
for governor must obtain the nomi-
nation by a majority vote-a plurality
will not put him in running. Blease,
according to the early reports, has a
plurality over either of his opponents
but not a majority of the whole vote
cast 1t will, therefore, be necessary
to hold another primary two weeks
from Tuesday, in which the contest
will be limited to Blease and Cover
nor Manning. AS to whether there is
to be a comeback of Blease = it all
depends upon how the Cooper vote
swings in the secondary primary
1t is already in the demonstration,
however, that Blease is not numbered
with the dead ones. There are, quite
apparently. a good many South Car
olinians who believe that Blease is
about the right kind of gubernatorial
timber. His particular stunt, it will
be recalled, was setting the prisoners
free. According to the published
statements. the South Carolina pen
cage when Blease was governor. An
other characteristic of the governor
who was and who may come back is
his highly colorful language. Possibly
his linguistic methods have toned
down. If there is to be a comeback of
| Bleaseism perhaps 1t will be tanned
and chastened Bleaseism.

BRINGING HOME THE TROOPS

.TIFTEEN thousand troops have
been ordered home from Texas.
This is good news. The men
are needed at home more than they
are at the border. But it may be
asked why all of the troops 10 return
are made up Of voters from States
which the Democratic campaign man
ayers have listed in their doubtful"
columns? There is more than a sus-
picion that politics is figuring in the
activities of the War Department and
that Secretary Baker is using his
powers in the hope of adding votes
to the Democratic column in Novem-
Der.
II is certain that a vast majority of
the soldiers who cast their votes at
the border will repudiate the admins
tration. They have had opportunity
OF observing its shortcomings first
hand. They have grievances that are
real and that can be wiped out only
by the marks they will make on the
ballot in November. But by sending
back a few regiments here and there
from States that are regarded as
dou btful the situation may be changed.
At all events the administration has
all to gain and nothing to lose in
those districts. The effect on the men
left stranded along the border for
political purposes is not difficult TO
foresee.

THERE was a time, not so many
years ago. when the name of
Patrick Calhoun would have
been recognized on paper in any bank
in Pennsylvania for almost any
amount he cared to endorse He was
rated at one time worth $4,000 900.
Last Saturday he was declared bank
rupt and told reporters that his entire
worldly possessions were summed up
in one FIVE dollar bill.
Calhoun, aged so. is a grandson of
the famous statesman of that name.
He was born of wealthy parents. but
his fathers fortune was swept away
and he arose to great wealth largely
through his ability TO make profits
from railroad and trolley organizations
and consultations.
Calhoun's activities ranged from
Georgia to New York and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. He lays his
downfall to the San Francisco earth
quake and the destruction it wrought
to the street car system in which he
was heavily interested. But the truth
is that he would have weathered that
storm had he not been mixed I'D in
the Abe Ruef scandal. Then his pres
tige waned and his fortune shrank
rapidly. He could have withstood the
ravages of an earthquake, but public
opinion proved greater force.
