Hogs Run Mad

Patrick, June Al e. Wilks,
living near Patrick, lost two fine
hogs the early part of the week
under peculiar circumstances.
Sometime ago a small dog was
found in the hog lot, fighting at
the hogs. but as the dog showed
no signs of being wrong in any
way, nothing more was thought
of it until few days ago one OF
the hogs began having fits a1d
fighting at everything in its way,
biting and tearing off all the
bushes in the lot. 1t died two
days later. On Thursday an.
other one was taken in the same
way. 1t is supposed that the
dog found. in lot had hydropho
bla and the hogs contracted it
from being bitten by the dog.

THE PEOPLE WIN AGAIN

The United States SEN
ate last week confirmed the
nomination of Louis D. Bran
deis to fill the vacancy on the
supreme court bench, and thus
ended a very bitter fight. Pres
ident Wilson nominated this bril-
liant Boston lawyer without con-
.sulting with Wall street, and fo-
more than three months a deter
mined effort was made to pre-.
vent his confirmation by the
senate, meanwhile the president
stood firmly. Brandeis is not a
corporation lawyer, and he re-
fuses to become the tool of big
business. His confirmation
brings new blood of the right
kind into the supreme court of
the land. He is the first Jew
who ever sat on the supreme
bench. Race prejudice had
something to do with the fight
against him, but the political
prejudice had far more.
The mans ability has not
been questioned. His legal tai
ent is acknowledged, and he
ranks as one of the foremost
lawyers of the country. His
confirmation is a victory for
Wilson, but a greater one for
the American people.
Savoyard, a splendid Wash.
ington writer, has the following
to say of the investigation of the
character of Brandeis:
The most searching investi-
cation has been had and the
life of Louis D. Brandeis is now
an open book that all may read,
and any one of us who is not a
fanatic or jackass may sincere
ly congratulate him for an ad-
mirable character now firmly
and indelibly established. Not
many men, Jew or Gentle,
could emerge from the ordeal
as triumphant as has Louis D.
Brandeis. Everything was scru-
tiniZed, qreat and small. The
most uncharitable suspicious
were advanced as charges, and
all sorts of insinuations were
made; but when an intelligent
and unprejuced mind passes on
them Brandeis stands acqult of
everything dishonorable or dis
breditable."

For Sale
II IL Acres of Land, and Crop

l now offer my farm, crop,
stock and farming tools for
sale. / propose to sell what
l have at a sacrifice, and if
there is any one who wants
a bargain, here is his chance.
l am not able to farm, neither
is my family.
This farm is 4 miles south
east of Pageland in the
Evans mill section. There
is a good 5-room house, good
barn, good pasture, good
we'll water, one cropper
house, good young orchard,
and a lot of saw timber.
Nearly enough timber to pay
for the place. Improvements
on the place are worth half
what l ask for the land.
Adjoining land without i'm
.provements can't be bought
for less than $50 to $40 an
acre.
This is fine land, and a
fine neighborhood. l am
making this sacrifice because
of my health.
Good school and churches
nearby.
l have a 2.horse farm
started nicely. l am crawl
ing on my knees and doing
my best to keep 1t worked.
My crop is doing nicely.
Come and see the land and
the crop.
Don't miss this opportuni-
ty if you want a splendid
farm at a very low figure.
Price of all 1850.
Now let the man with
some cash come and get a
bargain.

Surprise Wedding at Steamboat Rock

Special to Times-Republican.
Steamboat Rock, Nov. 23.-The home
of Mr.. and Mrs. R. P. Hughes was the
scene of a happy event on Tuesday
evening of this week, when a large
company of young people gathered by
invitation to a shower for Miss Peart

had been rumored. Shortly before 10
o'clock Rev. Mr.. Water, pastor of the
Congregational church, accompanied
by the bride and groom-to-be, entered
the parIor and sprang a surprise upon
the young people by having the cere-
mony performed in their presence.
After receiving the congratulations of
their friends the hostess, assisted by
several of the young ladies, served a
dainty lunch. The rooms were very
prettily decorated, the color scheme
used being red and white. The young
couple were the recipients of many
beautiful gifts.
The bride is the eldest daughter OF
Mr. and Mrs. D. l.. Vannote and has
lived here all of her life with the ex-
ception of a few years. She has been
employed at the telephone exchange un-
til very recently. The groom is the
only son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lew Frank,
we'll known residents of Eldora, and is
considered a young man of good char
acter and ability. They will make
their home at Charles City.

vision of the national defense act
passed at the last session.
Senator Borah will ask for a report
on the pay of national guard officers.
He wants to know why Major Gen
eral Organ, head of the New York
National Guard, is receiving two sal
aries. one from the state and one from
the federal government. amounting to
$4,000.
OFFICERS IN POLITICS.
He will charge that officers of the
national guard We're active fn the
recent campaign to nominate or elect
their friends and defeat their oppon-
cnts.
He will assert that the enlisted men
of the national guard never favored
the provision he would now repeal, but
that 1t was lobbied through by national
guard officers who hoped to profit per-
sonally by its passage.
He will say that there can be only
one kind of militarism in this country
that which arises from the combin-
alton of the military power and the
political power. Men who are organ
lied as a military force but exercise
their influence under their organiza-
ton as a political force constitute the
greater menace to American institu-
tions, he will argue.

are now on the border serving in the
national guard divisions of the federal
forces. Army officers claim that the
liberalization of the national guard
has not worked well. that the enlist
ments have been disappointing. that
the men are not willing to do the
necessary training and that there have
been attractions of discipline amount
ing almost to mutiny.
Hundreds of men have wanted to re-
turn to their homes. Senator Borah
will ask for official information as to
all these things. He will bring out the
fact that more than 10000 national
guardsmen have refused to take the
oath.

Senator Borah bases his action on
the general proposition that the ma
tional guard cannot be made a part
of the army of the United States while
its members remain half civilian and
half soldier. He claims that an army

become q menace.
Many letters and kilograms urging
members of the national guard to vote
for this or that candidate because they
could be depended upon for friendly
action in congress will be presented
to the senate by Mr. Borah.
| A letter alleged to have been writ

the National Guard of Ohio, urging
members of his organization to sup

PROTOCOL WILL BE
SIGNED BY CARRANZA

Mexico City, Dec. THE general
impression among high government
officials here is that the protocol
drafted by the Mexican and American
commissioners at Atlantic City and
having as its object settlement of
the points at issue between Mexico and
the United States will be signed by
General Carranza, if he has not al
ready affixed his signature to 1t. 1t
is thought there may be slight changes
in the wording of the document, but
that the main points Of it will be
agreed TO by General Carranza.
Alberto j. PAM, one of the Mexican
commissioners, has been delayed here
! but is to reach Queretaro Thursday
and probably will leave there at once
for the United States with General
Carranza's reply to the protocol.
