Sign No R%esubmission Petitions

The advice of the temperance
leaders of the state is wholesome
and wise. No friend of prohibi-
ton should sign any petition for
submitting the clause of the
constitution to a vote. TO refuse
to sign is to cast a vote for pro.
hibition. 1t says, II am satisfied
with the saloonless state"
Friends will plead "the people
have a right to vote upon the
question:" and that is correct.
Let the people who want the
change do the signing; that's
what the provision in the law is
for. But those who want to re-
tain prohibition should refuse to
encourage the movement. 1t
will open the tloodgates to a del
uge of corruption funds and lies
to deceive the people. Unless you
are wanting the saloon back,
have enough sense to refuse to
sign any resubmission petitions.
Who is trying to get the mat
ter resubmitted? The same
bunch which used the referen.
dun to stop the operation of the
anti law. The dive
keepers, the bootleggers, blind
piggers and the men who hope
to make a profit out of the liquor
business if they can get that in.
famous slaughterhouse, the sa-
loon, back into the state to ruin
your youths. The churches,
ministers, steady citizens, moral
people who have developed North
Dakota do not want the saloon
again.
The plea that they are trying
to establish the Gothenbure
system is ahumbug. The Goth.
enburg system today is a higE
license and means an open sa
loon.
Refuse to sign petitions for re
submission; why should you en-

Murphy He%re-again.

Jas. Murphy, who makes his
appearance in Hope every year
as regular as the robins, arrived
the first of the week and is busy
cleaning the usual number of
chimneys. Two years ago we
mentioned Mr.. Murphy's arrival
and stated that he was a Swede.
He has, however, informed us,
since that, time, that he is of Irish
descent, but that should not be
held against him as he is a
mighty goody chimney sweep.

OBSERVATIONS"
By Our Man About Town

1t was in the post-ofice and
the poor old soul had asked if
there was a letter for her.
Only a sti1ed sigh was heard
as she turned from the window
but what did that sigh mean?
Some son, some daughter, had
caused it. Forgetful of their no.
Their in her declining years is
causing her grief that no other
than herself can ever know be-
cause none other than she can
understand.
How many of US, married and
long absent from our paternal
homes are neglecting our aged
parent? I hope not many. My
own mother has told me how Gag
erly she awaits my letters. and
while I am not as regular in writ
ing as I should be, l do not think
she ever has or ever will have any
great anxiety because of my ne
glect.
The United States has been in

day? Can you even imagine what
that would mean to thousands oil
mothers in America, or even
across the waters?
What a little task it is to write
a letter! And what a world Of
good some letters can do!

is GUILTY
Convicted of Murder of Nellie
Byers, Teacher.
His Own Story Brought Verdict
Notice of Appeal.

Syracuse, Kan, June 3.-Archie
Sweet, a farm hand, today was found
guilty of first degree murder for the
killing of Miss Nellie J. Byers, a Grant
county school teacher.
Archie Sweets own story convicted
him of the murder.
A notice of an appeal was made by
Sweets attorneys.
Sweet received the verdict calmly
When the decision was announced he
back to the Jail without speaking.
Later he said:
II am innocent, but I'm going to
take my medicine like man. When
I'm sentenced all they will have to
do will be to give me my ticket to the
penitentiary and I will report to the
warden"
The jury was given the case for con-
sideration last night. A verdict was
reached on the second ballot taken.
Under the verdict Sweet will be
sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
The court will hear a motion for a
new trial within two weeks. No defi-
mite date was set Only a few per
sons were in the court room when the
verdict was returned. There was no
demonstration.
Most Brutal Murder.
The murder was one of the most
brutal ever committed in Kansas Miss
Byers. who was % years old, was a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Frank Byers
Her father was once a member of the
Kansas legislature.
The body of the school teacher was
found concealed in weeds near lonely
road on October %, 1915, near here
Her clothes had been torn from her
body. A sweater she wore had been
wound tightly about her neck Teeth
marks upon her body gave the au-
thorities hope of finding the guilty
man.
Bloodhounds brought from Dodge
City followed a trail to the house
where Sweet lived. He surrendered
but maintained his innocence He
declared he was being made a scape-
goat for the persons who really COM
mitted the crime.
The trial began May %.

GERMANY LOST 10
Loss Includes Two BattleShipS
and Two Cruisers.
No Danger Losing Superiority
of Sea, Say BritOns.

London, June 3.-The British public
who retired last night cast down by
the first rews of the North sea battle,
as contained in the earlier British and
German reports, took some comfort
from the later British reports publish
ed in the morning papers.
This report, while it did not de-
crease the British losses except in de-
stroyers. which were reduced from IL
to s, shows the losses of the Germans
were much greater than was at first
estimated.
According to this latest account of
the great naval engagement the Ger
man losses include two battleships,
one battle cruiser, one light cruiser
and six destroyers sunk; two battle
cruisers damaged and three battle
ships hit.
Naval writer's also point out that the
German fleet retired as soon as the
main British fleet appeared on the
scene so that there is no question
about the superiority of sea power re-
naming in British hands. The loss of
British ships is of course admitted as
serious while the loss in officers and
men has cast a gloom over the whole
country

Chicago, June s.-A preparedness
demonstration equal to New York's
gripped Chicago today. 1t was the
prelude to series of big events which
throw this city in the worlds spotlight
of news, for the next ten days
Nearly a quarter of a million Chi
cago men, women and children, it is
estimated, marched today in a parade
to arouse the nation to preparedness.
Sober minded men and women-bank-
ers, politicians, society women, clerks,
shop girls-from all walks of life who
want peace but not "at any price"
marched. There were $4,000 marchers
from the United Young Mems clubs
alone.
One feature of the parade was the
suffragist section. Another was the
motorcycle section, in which several
chimes.
One hundred and eighty union
| chauffeurs offered their cars without
charge to anyone desiring to take part
in the parade. The steel mills in
South Chicago and Gary, Ind, sent
five thousand men.
Major-Gen. E. C. Young headed the
parade. His chief aid was Col. Milton
). Foreman of the First Illinois Cav
airy regiment, one OF the best equipped
cavalry bodies in the National Guard.
H. L. Van Wuck, who organized the
huge preparedness parade held in New
York City recently, co-operated with
August Hibbard of Chicago in organ
| izing today's demonstration.
Tt was estimated there were more
than a million spectst tors.
Through Tonight.
At noon after three hours of march
ing, $4,000 persons in the great pre-
paredness parade had passed the re-
viewing stand. This was at a much
faster rate than at the beginning ow-
ing to closing up of the ranks.
AT this speed it would be possible
to conclude the parade by or 10
/ o'clock tonight.

the preparedness parade in which
women as well as men are enlisted.
Called Off at Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo-, June 3.-Lack of
enthusiasm resulted in calling off the
preparedness parade set for June 20.
The Security League blames the Mer-
chants association for not declaring a
holiday. The parade originally was
set for Memorial Day, as a reception
for Colonel Roosevelt, but it was post
poned following a cry of "politicS."

HIS FIGHT
Roosevelt In Constant Touch
With His Lieutenants.
Refuses to Comment on State-
ment of Justice Hughes.

Oyster Bay, June 3.-Colonel Roose-
velt sat at Sycamore Hill closely
watching the progress of events 1t
Chicago.
A long distance telephone to the
convention city was constantly open
so that it was possible for the colonel
to get in touch with his lieutenants
there at any minute. In large meas
ure he is directing his own fight for
the nomination
If the colonel received any reports
from Chicago he did not disclose them.
He absolutely refused to discuss the
situation. 1t is believed here however.
that conditions are much more favor
able now than at any other time dur
ing the last two months.
The colonel read the Hughes state
ment, but beyond saying it was very
interesting" made no comment He
made the same emark with regard to
the British defeat in the North Sea
fight
1t is possible to say from informa-
ton gathered here that the Progress
sives can see but two men in the field
Hughes and Roosevelt. They will
not consider any third or compromise
candidate And they insist Hughes is
an impossibility without full express
sion of his views on the issues.
His Wife Is With Him.
The possibility of Roosevelt going to
Chicago is remote His present in
tention is not to go. But in five rim
utes situation MY be created --1lich
will send him speeding across the
country.
At this crisis the colonel is devos
himself to literary pursuits. This aft
ernoon he and Mrs. Roosevelt (who
isn't going to the eonvention) had a
long walk.

Numerous informal conferences be-
