JUDGE LANDS DEFENDS
 SELECTIVE CONSCRIPTEON

The principal speaker at notable patn- otic meeting at Galesburg, H., on April l7 last was Judge Landis, the famous federal iurist. The Chicago Herald's account o1 the meeting was as follows:
 Federal Judge Landis, interrupted in patriotic address at the Sixth Regiment armory tonight, stopped near riot when half g hundred persons In the audience threatened violence to the man who queS- tioned his remarks. The white haired Jurlst was telling about Belgium and what Ger man militarism accomplished there. He painted picture of ravaged women, towns destroyed, food burned, whole families mur- dered. Well that's war; said man in the center of the hall.
 "'Werp shouted the judge; you just come up here and let your nelghbors look at you
 "Throw him outp yelled some.
 "'Kick him outr yelled others.
 "As men started for the would-be heckler, Judge Landis stepped from the platform down into the audience.
 "Just a momentp he shouted. This Is my meeting Let that man stay here And if anyone needs to stay he does And fur thermore, I never had any trouble getting along with a battle-scarred veteran under the influence of stale beer
 Cheers broke the tension and the judge resumed his talk. He addressed 5000 per sons-the largest crowd in the history of Galesburg and 5000 persons more were turned away The demonstration at the close continued ten minutes. It was the towns answer to his question: Are you in favor of conscription?
 "'The volunteer system,' said Judge Lan- dis puts the best men in the trenches and leaves the slackers behind. Remember, we are fighting the mightest military power Tn the world, country that left record ln Belgium that broke all the records of in fanny in history. You cant fight this war with a check book, and don't get the i'm pression that the French and English have this foe beaten
 "For the men marrying to avoid mill tsry service he expressed infinite disgust. He said he had visited the county building in Chicago and had watched the lne-'so long it even stopped traffic.
 "'The great ma ajority of them, he de clared, had degeneracy stamped all over their faces I thought at first l pltied the women the most, but later l discovered l pitied the for marrying a woman that would marry them. Think of the hy- brid progeny to come of those saffron-hued relationships
 "He upbraided the men who conveniently joined religion opposed to war-the pa cifsts who, he said, regarded the kaiser as missionary of peace.
 "'spend ten billion dollars if necessary to protect the honor of the women of the country he added, but get busy and pre- pare to spend it now Victory for us means the scrap heap for the crowned heads. It means an end to the midnight diplomacy It will also mean an end to the co-partner- ship that makes God the junior partner. "

CHINESE PRESIDENTS WORDS
 WHICH PRESAGED DOWNFALL

As throwing light on the recent eruption in China, which resulted in the practical overthrow of the young republic, and the possible re-establishment of the monarchy in that country, the following Associated Press dispatch from Peklng, dated April Zo' has a peculiar interest at thls time:
 "Sun Yat-sen's effort to prevent parlla- ment from severing diplomatic relations with Germany has provoked strong d!sap- proval from the Chinese press. He has been denounced as highly presuinptlous ID send ing dispatch to Premier Lloyd George ot Great Britain. urging that he require Brlt- ish officials to cease their efforts to force China into the entente.
 "A similar message which Sun at-sen sent to all the members Of the Chinese house of representatives and senate also has been widely criticized His statement that China's entrance, or threatened en- trance, into the European war with the entente might provoke slaughter Of Mo hammedans has been declared absurd.
 "Sun at-sens influence recently has waned very greatly in China. His efforts to collect money which he alleges was ex- pended in the Yunnan revolution of last year have been extremely unpopular, and he has been generally denounced by the press. In his message to the members ot parliament Sun Yat-sen wrote:
 "'Those who advocate the advlsablHty of associating ourselves with the entente powers for reasons of profit are often heard to say that as soon as China enters the war she will at once become first power. and that there will be no more diff fcult diplomatic problem for her to solve But my opinion is that the elevation of weak country to the status of tirst-class power depends entirely upon its own na- tonal stamina.
 "'After matured consideration and care full study I have come to the conclusion that two kinds of trouble will arise from the country's abandonment of neutrality: CD The possibility of blind anti-foreign move ment, and (2) the disaffection of the Mus sulmans in this country.
 "'The anti-foregn feeling lies hid in the bosom of most Chinese people, and 1t will break out any time when there is some thing to provoke it. In the twinkle of an eve we shall see once more Boxer upris- ing in our midst.
 1he Mohammedans ln tnls country 10TH very important factor, and their lntiu- ence can neither be ignored nor under estimated If war is declared upon Turkey the Mohammedan fanatics here will cer- tainly rise against the government for the defense of their religion. When this hap pens the country may date her history of great disorder and national extinction from that day"

viding for sweeping changes in the
taxation system of the state has
been introduced in the House by Rep

crease the assessed valuation of iron
ore, whether mined or unmined, to
IS per cent of it's value, instead OF
so per cent, as at present.

erty and household goods, and would
reduce the assessed valuation on i'm
proved land,' live stock, machinery
and other property of this kind from
33k per cent of it's value to 20 per
cent, and would fix the assessed val
ulation of household goods at 10 per

GUARANTEE IS AS
STRONG AS COMPANY

AS rule anything put inside or
outside of the shoe prevents heat
from radiating. and sometimes adds
to it by causing a certain amount OF
chatting In your case, however, it
would seem to be advisable to com
bine the two, as the tires are getting
old. and this treatment will prolong
their life. A guarantee of 10000
miles looks promising, but remember
that a guarantee is no stronger than
the company back of it.
