sTRONG TICKET NOMINATED
Best of Feeling Prevailed and Non
inees Should Poll Full Party
Strength in Coming Election.

The Republican Township Caucus
was held in the Opera House last Sat-

ed and one of the most harmonious
gatherings of it's kind ever held in
this township; but one contest being
waged, and that for the nomination
of candidate for Supervisor. There
were two aspirants for this honor,
Paul H. Smith and w. T. Davis. The
name of Mr.. Davis presented by f..
d. Johnson, and Paul Smith by Lu-
man j. Dunham. There were one
hundred and fortytwo votes cast, and
canvass of the vote returned Paul
Smith the winner by a handsome
majority. 1t was a splendid endorse
nent and one of which he may well
feel proud.
Mr.. Davis took his defeat philo-
sophically and good naturedly. In
commenting on the result to the
writer he said. 81 have King Solo
mon beaten. He referred to the
passage of scripture where King
Solomon said, "And he said in his
heart, all men are liars" Continuing
Mr.. Davis said, al have found out
that men are different from King
Solomon's version. Some said they
would vote for me and did. Other
said they would not vote for me, and
they did not"

man of the caucus, and F. N. Wake
man clerk. The chairman appointed
Henry f. Shaefer and Thomas Wood

For the second time this great re-
public has yielded to the demands of
four hundred thousand trainmen, who
threatened to tie up the whole railroad
system OF the country unless their de-
mand for an eight-hour day was grant
ed at once.
This country has come to pretty
pass when so few men can drive one
hundred millions of people into so un-
fair a contract as that demanded by
the trainmen. Such surrender settles
nothing. Since the trainmen have
found how easy it is to drive the whole
people they will continue to insist on
unreasonable demands until the gov
eminent will be forced to take control
of the railroads in self defense.
When that time comes it is hoped the
roads will be handled in the same eff
Gent way THAT the mails auu pustoff ces
are. That will mean no more striking
and no more hodups for exorbitant
wage.
When the trainmen went to Canada
to enlist the railroad men of the Do
minion to join in the strike they were
curtly told there would be no strike
nor any talk on the subject while the
war lasted. The trainmen then an
nounced that Canada would not be in
cluded in the strike. Had the admin
ct Washington backed up the
railroads in the same resoIute manner
the holdup by the trainmen would have
been avsrted.
These are very degenerate days when |
men are "too proud to fight" have
Single track minds" and accept any
kind OF indignities in order to keep
US out OF war"

of them.
One of the first blessings anticipated
from the formation of the proposed
league of nations will be the reduction
of ornaments burden that before
the present war began had become al
most intOlerable.
1t should be borne in mind that the
League does not seek to end the pres
ent war.
1t believes that adequate preparation
for national defense is essential to the
success Of its program.
Its Executive Committee by unani
nous vote has assured the National
government of Its support in the pres
ent international crisis.
The League IS working hard to eX
plain Its program to all the voters in
order that the governn ent may have
the support of public opinion in taking
VIII tever steps may be possible now to
commit the nations to the formation of
a league to enforce peace before the
war ends, because if left until after
the treaty of peace shall have been
signed it is feared that the world may
be cheated out of basis of lasting
peace as it was by the Congress Of
Vienna century ago,

why TAFT GOES SOUTH.
Purpose Of the League to Enforce Peace
Briefly Explained

New York, March 70. Former Pres
ident Tatt's tour through eight states
OF the South and Southwest, beginning
at Richmond. March 81, and ending at
Oklehom City, March 20. will not be
his first trip to that region, but it will
be the most important visit he ever
made there.
For with the hearty cooperation of
eight governors, as many mayors, the
same number of Chambers of Com.
MERGE and a long list of leading pri-
vate citizens, the former President of
the United States, who is now Presl-
dent Of the League to Enforce Peace,
Will do all that Is possible in SO briet
a time to explain what the organization
just mentioned is and what 1t seeks to
accomplish.
WHAT IT PROPOSES.
Briefly stated, the points are these ::
The League to Enforce Peace is not
yet League" bat an org anlzation
to promote league of nations to be
formed after the close OF the present
war for the purpose of maintaining the
future peace of the world, so far as
that is humanity possible.
This, 1t ls believed, can be accom-
pllshed by forming league, or alll-
ance, or whatever one chooses to call
1t, embracing at the outset all, or at
least most, of the great powers pledged
to do these things:

small amount sf yellow or red ;s
present. Any of tie prepared roofngs
having a crushed stone or crushed
slate surface are agreeable in texture
with the dominating idea in this cot.
tage.
Other effects may be produced in
the same way. Probably the majority
of houses of the small sizes, and these
houses are the ones which depend
almost entirely upon the roof for their
appearance, are designed so that they
will carry the feeling of warmth and
coZiness in their outline, color and
texture. Some of the large houses are
designed to present dignified appear
ance, and others are given the appear
ance of being larger than they really
are to make the observer feel the
stately impressivenesS of the building.
The large city type of construction,
especially apartment house construc-
ton, eliminates to certain extent the
use of the roof as means of building
UP appearance When the roof is used,
with tile in either red or green. The
necessity of using warm, soft colOrs
does not exist in this type of construc-
ton, although one Of the favorite meth
DDS consists in using these colors for
the main wall surface while the cold
colors are used in the stone, terra Gotta
or concrete trim and ornaments. Pleas
ant contrast is obtained in this way.
The house shown in the Illustration
is selected to show the important part
which the roof may play in forming

stain will no doubt be needed for the
walls in order to prevent a darkened
appearance. The natural color Of red
cedar shingles would harmonic very
nicely on the roof and very little would
be lost by weathering.
The vestibule at the front entrance
leads to a hall extending back to the
kitchen. The large living room is on
the left of this hall, upon entering. The
living room is attractiveiy finished
with false beam ceiling and fireplace
is built in the center of the rear wall.
A cozy den or library occupies the
front of the house on the other side OF
the hall. Back of this den is the din
ing room. A screened porch is built
into the corner of the house at the
rear of the dining room. The kitchen
occupies the other corner Of the
house at the rear and handy serv-
ing pantry is built between this room
and the dining room. There are three
large bedrooms on the second floor, all
having windows In two walls. These
rooms open from stair hall which
connects them with the bath as the
head Of the stairs. A clothes chute
from the second floor to the basement
is feature of convenience.
