MICHAEL CRONIN is
NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS
Son-in-Law of Judge M. c. Edwards
Honored by Democrats.

Mr.. Michael F. Cronin, assistant
bill clerk of the house Of representa-
tives and son-in-law of Judge and
Mrs. M. C. Edwards, of Dawson, has
been nominated by the democrats of
the Second Iowa district as their can
didate for congress. The nomination
came as quite surprise to Mr.. Gro
min, who did not seek the honor. Of
the nominee the Washington Times
has the following to say:
"Mr. Cronin has decided to run.
His opponent will be Harry Hull, now
the republican congressman from the
Second Iowa district. 1t should have
been explained before now that Mr..
Cronin has the democratic nomina-
ton. Mr.. Cronin was secretary to
the late Congressman Irwin S. Pep
per of Iowa, who died three years
ago. Subsequently he acted as sec
rotary to Congressman Henry Voll-
mer, who succeeded Mr.. Pepper.
With the retirement of Mr.. Vollmer
he became the assistant of Congress
man Steele. He also has been the
in Washington of the
democratic state committee, and has
looked after such patronage matters
as came within his purview."

DAWSON IS IN BIG
FOUR" BASEBALL CIRCUIT
MONTEZUMA, FITZGERALD AND
CORDELE OTHER TOWNS.
SEASON OPENS JUNE S.

Mr.. A. L. McLendon, secretary of
the Dawson Baseball Association, and
Mr.. Raymond G. Dozier a director,
met representative from the Monte
yuma, Fitzgerald and Cordele ball as
sociations in Cordele Thursday for
the purpose of agreeing upon plans
for organizing ball circuit between
the four towns, and fixing a schedule
of dates.
The organization was perfected,
and it will be known as the big
Four Circuit" These cities have or
gained strong ball teams, and there
will be lively rivalry between them,
each determined to win more games
than the others.
The schedule of games has been
arranged and submitted to the teams
for approval. The first games of the
season will be played in Dawson with
Montezuma on June 5, 6 and 7, and
Dawson will go to Montezuma for the
remaining three days of the week.
These games will be followed by Sc
ries with Fitzgerald in Dawson. The
local team will have the first of the
series with each of the clubs, after
which they will play each team a re-
turn engagement.
The personnel of the home team
has not been announced yet, but it is
said to be the strongest aggregation
of semi-professional players who ev-
er represented Dawson or any other
town on the diamond, and that the
locals will give equally as good ac-
count of themselves as they did last
year is foregone conclusion, say
those who have the management of
the team in hand. The fans will have
no cause for disappointment this sea-
son, they assert.
And when it comes to "fans,"
Dawson has more enthusiastic base
ball maniacs to the square inch than
any town of its size in the world, and
they are fans who go in and play the
game for all it is worth. They back
their team financially and with en-
thusiastic encouragement, and do
their part to make their ball club
winner.
The first games in Dawson on June
5, 6 and 7 will have record-breaking
attendance from among the local fans
as we'll as those who live in the near
by towns.

AN APPRECIATION TO
FORMER DAWSON LADY
Mrs. F. E. Land Retires From Club
Office After Serving Two Terms.

Mrs. r. +. Land Ketlres from Clup
Office After Serving Two Terms.
The following item, from recent
issue of the Macon Telegraph, will
be read with interest by Mrs. Lands
many Dawson friends:
CATER serving two terms as presi-
dent of the Macon Woman's Club
Mrs. Fort E. Land retires from Office
with not only the thanks and express
sions of appreciation of the club
members, but of the city federation
and the community to which she has
rendered most efficient and helpful
service.
Through her untiring zeal the
Woman's Club has attained place in
the leading organizations of Macon
that has attracted at once the atten-
ton of the citizens and the state. AS
chairman of the executive board her
poise has carefully eliminated all the
dross and brought forth the pure gold
of whole hearted service Her sug-
gestions for the club women, always
given with enthusiasm, have found
ready support, because in putting
them through she lent herself with
keen interest to their accomplish
ment, and her service in all commit
tee work has been the inspiration and
the secret of the success of their ac-
complishment.
"The program of the Woman's Club
under Mrs. Lands regime has COM
manded attention not only of inter-
ested club women, but of the state at
large. Her wide acquaintance with
leading educators of the state has
brought to Macon representatives of
various sciences and literateurs whose
prestige is unchallenged and whose
addresses have made the Woman's
Club of Macon a power in the states
development along educational lines.
That Mrs. Land alone has accomplish
ed this is a matter that deserves spe-
cial comment, and we reluctantly see
her lay down the gavel that she has
welded with such power for commu-
nifty interests and public good"

VALUABLE COWS ARE
MADE into TANKAGE
SHORTHORNS OF WEAVER AND
PETTY A COMPLETE LOSS.
WANT STATE TO PAY.

The five pure-bred shorthorn cat
tie that were recently condemned by
a representative of the state veteri-
nary department because they were
affected with tuberculosis, were
shipped to Moultrie, where they were
butchered and converted into tank
age. Among these cattle were "Black
Diamond" the $3.50 shorthorn bull,
and two cows valued at $500 belong
ing to Mr.. J. D. Weaver, and three
cows belonging to Mr.. H. A. Petty,
for which he paid $3.50. These valu-
able pure-bred animals, after being
converted into tankage and the hides
sold, netted about So or $40 each,
and the remainder of their cost is a
total loss to the owners.
The cows were condemned after an
examination by DR.. H. f. Hooks, of
the state veterinary department. Be-
fore and after butchering in Moul-
trie the cattle were examined by
government veterinary stationed at
the packing house there, and he also
found that they were affected with
tuberculosis.
Want State to Pay.
AS the condemned cattle were
shipped into Georgia by permission
of the state veterinary department,
which passed them on a certificate
from the veterinary department of
Missouri without REORGANIZATION,
Messrs. Weaver and Petty will ask
the state Legislature at its June meet
ing to make good their loss by spe-
cial appropriation. They claim that
the cattle were infected with the dis
ease before their shipment into this
state, and they thought they were
healthy cattle because they had been
passed by the state veterinary de-
partment. That these gentlemen
should have some recourse for the
recovery of their loss under the cir
cumstances seems to be but simple
justice is the opinion Of many who
have expressed themselves on the
matter.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning next week this paper will be all home-printed. Instead of con- taining eight pages, as heretofore, four pages of which have been what is known as apatent inside" it will contain six pages, an of which will be home print. We do not believe one person in half a dozen ever opens the "patent" portion of this paper and for that reason, among others, that feature, which, in our opinion, is a poor one, will be dis continued and all the paper will be printed here.
 During the past month we have been forced to turn down advertising for lack of space, thing which all news paper men loathe Go do. The addition of two pages, however, will enable us to handle all business offered and when they become insufficient for handling the business, other pages will be added. Henceforth no business will be turned down by this office for lack of facilities for handling it. We are already arranging for a new press and when it is installed, the size of the pages of the paper will be increased from five to seven columns. Upward of one hundred dollars worth of new job and advertising type has been or dered and will be here this week and when that arrives the News office will be as we'll equipped as any in Alaska for turning out work of all kinds, our mechanical force being up Co date in every detail.
 Since taking charge of the News April 1st more than one hundred new names have been placed on the sub scription books, all of them bouahde, paid subscribers, aud, with the i'm provemeuts now being made and others contemplated, this paper will, if honest effort counts for anything, flourish as a green bay tree henceforth. +AlS we ask is the support of the com- muuity in which we are operating.
Douglas Island news., 1916-05-31

of thousands-possibly millions-is worth while on the part of President Wilson or any other peace advocate. And who is there among all the neutral powers of the world who would com mand the attention of the warning powers to the extent our own president would? If it is meddling to save human life, President Wilson can we'll afford to be called a meddler. If he can be the agency through which peace can be brought to Europe, all ciyiliza- tion should bid him God speed. His own country will be proud of him and all the nations of the earth will rise up and call him blessed.

IS NOT NEEDED

When it has been conclusively dem- Onstrated that peace officers of Alaska are derelict in their duty or unable to enforce the laws of Alaska, and not until then will there be any excuse whatsoever for the passage of the fol- lowing bill which was introduced a few days ago in the house of representatives iu Washington:
 "A bill Co confer additional authority
 upon tbe President of the United
 States in the construction and opera
 ton of the Alaskan railroad, and for
 other purposes.
 "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assem- bled,
 "That in connection with and during the construction and operation of the Alaskan Railroad, under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved March twelfth, nineteen hundred and fourteen, entitled An Act Go authorize the Pres. ident of the United States to locate, construct and operate railroads in the Territory of Alaska, and for other pur poses,' the President is hereby author ized and empowered Co make and promulgate such police, quarantine and sanitary rules and regulations as shall be necessary to preserve order and to preserve the public health along and in the vicinity of said railroad or railroads constructed, being construct ed or located by survey, and within town sites established, under and pur. suant to said Act of March twelfth, nineteen hundred and fourteen.
 "Sec 2. That such rules and regula- tious shall become effective on a date named in the proclamation of the Pres ident promulgating same, and any person violating such rules or regula- tions or any of them, shall be deemed guilty of 8 misdemeanor, aud shall, upou conviction thereof in the courts ofAlaska, be fined not more than $500, or be imprisoned not more than one year, or both"
Douglas Island news., 1916-05-31

At the present time there is consider able talk about President Wilson acting as peace agent for the European nations
 now and for the past twenty. one months at war with each other. It is asserted by many that, as the United
 States had nothing to do with starting the war, it would be presumption on the part of the president to interfere in any way. While there are grounds for such argument, the fact remains that millions of lives may yet be added to the long list of those already sacrificed since the war began 'if some peace agency does not get busy in the near future, and, in our opinion, one human life saved, to say nothing of hundreds
