EVIDENCE VS.. CONVICTIONS

When an officer of the law endeav-
ors to enforce the laws OF the state
he is to be commended, even tho he
fails to convict. however. before case
Is. started there should be at least
tangible evidence sufficient on which
to base a case. In a recent case in
the county court R. A. Hamilton of
Sugar City was charged with unlaw-
full Importation of intoxicants. Lii
quors had been shipped to Sugar City.
consigned to q man named Krebs.
The goods was confiscated at the de-
pot and Hamilton arrested on the
grounds that the goods was for him
and that Krebs and Hamilton was
one and the same man. Now, how
could any officer figure out that he
could prove this in court. The goods
had never reached Hamilton's pos
session. Haste in the confiscation of
the goods blocked all chances of ever
convicting Hamilton of the charge.
There being supposition that the
goods consigned to Krebs was for
Hamilton the officers should have
shAdowed the consignment until pos
session had been secured by the right
full owner.
4 The good people of this county
want to see the laws enforced; they
even demand that every effort be
made to enforce the.n and especially
the state prohibition law. but no one
wants to see the county put to big
expense wherein evidence is far from
suflcient to convict

THREE REASONS

Congressman Jouett Shouse,
at a recent meeting of Seventh
District Democrats, said:
'"The three things on which
President Wilson may base his
hopes for reelection are the fed
eral reserve act, which will pre-
vent all financial panics-an act
which the Republicans dared not
to pass on account of the DOM
mating influence of Wall street
in that party; the rural credits
act which is so far reaching it is
revolutionary, and the fact that
he has kept this country out of
any war.
Every one of us, deep down
in our hearts, are glad that we
have been kept out of war. The
women will remember this in
November.
Important Railroad Legislation
Zone reason that l wish to go
back to Congress is on account
of the fact that within the next
six months, or a year, important
railroad legislation is coming up.
This railroad strike situation is
only temporary adjustment.
Now my opponent is a railroad
attorney. His personal integrity
is unquestioned. I'll never deal
in personalities to be elected not
withstanding the bitter fight
made on me two years ago. He
rode on a pass in campaigning
against me two years ago, and
suppose he will do it again.
"Can a man who has labored
all the years he has for the rail
road go into a situation, where
the employee and the railroad are
going to have considerable con.
sideration and the general pub.
lie little, if any-can such a mar
properly represent this Seventh
Congressional district? / say he
can not, No matter how honest
he may be, there will be a menta
condition which he cannot over
come"

Woodrow Wilson stands for

and women, of business groups
and organizations, of municipal
tiles and S ates, of the United
States and of the other nations
Of the world whether they be
weak or powerful. He has been
free of the influ snce of special
interests, whether brought to
bear by money power within the
United Slater or by the greatest
military power on earth, Proof
lies in long, explicit and Won
derfui record of his performance
in the presidency. For that
reason he was able to say in his
speech accepting the Democrat
ic nomination for President: VI
do rot doubt that the people OF
the United States will wish the
mocratic party to continue 10
control of the Government
They are not in the habit of re-
jecting those who have actually
served them for those who are
making doubtful and coujectural
promises of service. Least OF al
are they likely to substitute

them particular service and

Edison For Wilson

There is no American in whose
integrity of opinion, strong
sense and good JUDGMENT the
people of the United States have
more confidence than Thomas A.
Edison.
Mr.. Edison publicly announces
his support of President Wilson.
Briefed, his reasons are:
Faced with a succession of
tremendous problems, any one of
which decided the wrong way
would have been disastrous, Viii
son has not got us into trouble
nor is he likely to.
He has given us peace with
honor. Talk about the United
States being despised is non
sense. Back of our neutrality
are international law, the rights
of humanity and the future of
civilization.
With reference to Mexico the
president has acted wisely, just
ly and courageously.
With reference to prepared.
ness he changed and it was the
proper thing to do.
His attitude on the tariff shows
equal openness of mind. A tariff
commission will take the tariff
out of politics.
They say that he has blum
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1916-10-12

dered, Perhaps he has. But
notice that he usually blunders
forward"
In the railroad controversy
the President acted with his usu-
al courage and sanity.
Hughes hindsight, we learn
from his speeches, is highly de-
veloped, but as to his foresight
we are not equally well informed.
This is no time for Republican
ism or Democracy. Real Ameri-
cans must get down to funda-
mental principles.
1t is not logical or sensible to
change to an inexperienced and
untried man.
