Must Run Fresh Army
Gauntlet

James O. Murin, chairman M the
Detroit district exemption board, re.
turned 60 this city FROM Washington,
Monday morning. AFTER having had
q long interview with Provost Mar.
shall Crowder Gen. Crowder frst
told Mr. Muffin that all the work
the local boards and the district
board had done would have 10 be
done over and then paid Mr.. Muffin
the high compliment OF telling him
that the work OF the draft officials
in Detroit had been OF the highest
character
judge Muffin brought back copies
~ the new questionable which has
just been issued by the government
Ii provides that every exemption
made by the local and distric'
boards must be re-opened. In DE-
troit this means at least 1000 men
who are now under the impression
that they are free from military call
must prove their cases over again.
The new law. known as the Sc
lective service law" will become e'
fectiye on Dec. 10. II reyokes all
exemptions made prior 10 that date
or these there are 10000 in Detroit.
according TO Judge Muffin. and OF
these probably so per cent were for
causes that were optional with local
boards, such as claims for exemption
on the ground Of dependents. whil g
the other 40 FER cent were exempted
on occupetional grounds Every man
in Detroit and Highland Park. al
ready exempted for whatever
ground. will be obliged 10 go over
the ground again. according 20 the
new law. and, in the opinion Of
Judge Muffin. the army will gain
many recruits as result
On the other hand those who fail
ed TO get exemption on industrial
grounds In some cases will get them
now and IN others VIII not. For in
stance. policemen and flremen were
not exempt under the frst law. but
now. II they have served three wears.
they will be practically exempt
while the first ruling was that mar
iners were exempt and nov they arr
held not exempt.
The 10000. however. need not
take alarm AZ once. for altho their
exemptions have been revoked. IL Is
likely that many OF them will still
be exempted, tho many others will
not be The law doesn,t work both
ways, however. for Il will not affect
those now In uniform no matter
what their standing was az the time
they were accepted.
According n the explanation n
The law given Judge MUrfn by Gen
Crowder. the purpose Is not 10 ex-
empt men. but 20 put them in 1--WE
classifications, first, second. third.

members OF the various classes TO be
called in case of extreme emergency.

Auto Thieves Held in Jail

Orvil Main, 16, and Chas. Andrews,
II years of age, both living about 40
miles southwest of Lamar, are held
here in the county Jail charged with
stealing a Ford car belonging to
Charles Hammond, employed on a
farm north of this city. The car was
on Main street and was taken Sun
day. The boys were tried Wednesday
before Judge kirkpatrick in the jus
tice court and were bound over to the
November term of district court under
$500 bond which they were unable to
furnish and we're taken to Jail. 1t is
most likely that when these boys are
tried in district court that they will
receive sentences to the reform school
The officers have had several such
cases in the last few months and it is
hoped that this will be a good lesson
in the future to those who think they
can steal car and not get caught fol
the deed.

State Capitol Notes

Denver, Sept. 1.-THE press of
Colorado having noted the birth of a
so-called non-partisan league attended
the christening, but when they found
the whole purpo Sc Of the new political
child was to aid and comfort John
Shafroth in his desire to be returned
to the United States senate, instead
of handing flowers to the godmother
and odfathcr-federal Office holders
they proceeded to hurl brickbats.
The Non-partisan League, ut its best,
was not healthy child and because
of lack of nurishmcnt and the severe
treatment given it by the newspapers
Of Colorado, died q premature death.
While the people of Colorado would
gladly welcome any organization hav-
ing as its object the betterment of the
farmers or the advancement of the
farming communities, this non-parti-
san misfit instead of being what the
name implied, was but u new tangled
political party of mongrcl origin and
doubtful parentage. 1t is said that
Shafroth sent word to George Hosmer
who has considerable interest in the
child, to lay it to rest. And it is also
said when it was suggested Honest
John" ought to come across for ex-
pcnses of the few wet nurses who had
acted as organizers, the good man,
whose ability to lingcr near every
stray jitney is well known, was shock

Finding the people have not sustained
them in their gction they had this
statement reprinted in the Denver
Democrat where some one nigh. see
It. These insurging democrats charge
the party with being dominated by
Dave Howe, an alleged railroad lob
byist. The other element of the party
charge the insurgents with being DOM
mated, run, controlled, fostered, fed,
pcttcd and nurished by federal office
holders and labor agi.ators. The in

their charges. The conservatives have

of which is pie to the republicans for

in substance, Congressman Heating
made long appeal for the measure. "
To which was added, "The measure
failed of passage by an overwhelming
vote" 1t would seem the fellows who
have to have Keating's company daily
are getting wise to the chesty con-
gresham from Colorado. Many of the
conservative democrats of the Second
district are looking around for some
available man to pit against Keating
in the primaries, but as Eddie has the
labor vote of that district in his pock-
ct, they'll not get by. The defeat of
