sian army, to assume con-
troll of the government.

Kerensky's proclamation was
in part as follows:
Former Premier Lvoff ar
rived in Petrograd Saturday de-
handing, In General Kroniloff's
name, that | deliver all civil and
power to the generals

government at his pleasure.
Plot Against Republic.
1.-THE authenticity of this
summons was afterwards confirm
ed by Korniloff personally-by
telegram from headquarters.
Considering this summons an
attempt in certain quarters to
profit by our country's difficult
to establish conditions
contrary to the conquests of the
revolutions, the provisional gov
eminent recognized the necessity
of charging me for the father
lands safety and the freedom of
the republican regime, to take
urgent, indispensable measures
and to cut at the roots of all at
tempts against the supreme pow
er and rights of our citizens, won
by the revolution.

tunIted Pres. Leased Wire,

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-Farmers
of Eastern Iowa, Northern Illi-
nois and Northern Indianag face
a loss of millions Of dollars to-
night thru frosts, predicted by the
government weather bureau.
This was the statement today
of q local grain expert, who said
a "killing frost" at this time In
the areas indicated would render
more than 100 100000 bushels of
corn unfit for commercial use.
The frost bitten corn would have
TO be used for feed on the farms
at once.
This expert, who has just COM
pleted a $500 mile trip thru the
corn belt, said that practically
all the grain was past the roast

cent of 1t would be out of danger
from frosts by Sept. 81.

VICTION.

pulpits, clubwomen at meetings
and students of sociology today
have aroused storm of discus
sion.
1t has resulted in demands from
many quarters that southern chiv-
airy be thrown aside and a convic-
tion obtained in at least one case
to serve as a lesson.
just One Concited.
Only once In Louisiana criminal
history has woman been con-
victed for killing a man. The lone
victim of the law, Miss Dora
Murff, was sentenced in 1913 to
| fiYe'tyears in the. penitentiary for
completely in the murder OF Milton
Delahaye, her sweetheart, at
Crowley, La, because he refused
to marry her.
Her stepfather, Alec Duval;
sentenced to life Imprisonment,
recently was denied a pardon. The
girl has been released and has
started out to get a chance in
life. She is a nurse in a charity
hospital, and will be among the
New Orleans nurses who will go
abroad with the Louisiana troops.

You're not thinking of the farmer

Judge Jeffries Is
Entitled by His Record to
Reelection to the Bench

The Times believes that faithful and
efficient public service should be recog-
nized and rewarded.
II believes, too, that in the important
matter of our judgeships, if an official
has conducted his office in the best in
terests of society. he should be returned
just as often as his desire 10 continue
should prove the city's good fortune.
Edward j. Jefries. candidate for
Judge of the recorders court, has a
splendid record in that office.
He is peculiarly equipped for the re-
sponsibihty of this important place In
our municipal government.
In addition to generally recognized ca
pacity for the efficient discharge of the
heavy responsibilities of the court, Judge
Jeffries is equipped with fine brand of
humanity without which in our judges,
there can be no justice.
Society has been benefited by the sum-
mary dispatch by the judge of offenders
for whom prison terms have been neces-
sary TO serve the deterrent end of the
law, but while men have been sent
from this court by him, they have also
been saved" by him both to themselves
and to society.
Judge Jeffries has proven to be the
right man in the right place.
He deserves the additional term he
seeks as the reward we bespeak for
faithful and efficient service.
