FORD AND THE
L. $. SENATORSHIP

In a letter appearing in a recent
issue Of The Press, Mr.. Arthur S.
White, staunch fervid Democrat,
came to the rescue Of Henry Fords
peace ship project We do not under
stand that Mr.. Ford's motives IL the
affair require any defense. Undoubt-
eddy they were good motives and we
are al willing to take it for Granted
that he was as sincere as Lincoln.
whom Mr. White presents as a par
allel, though we may be permitted TO
doubt whether Lincoln was equipped
with the peculiar type Of mind that
would have made him the easy vic.
tim of Austrian adventuresses and
pro-German propagandists in re-
diculous crusade
Further than that, we are not dis
posed to be over critical of other pre-
were less creditabe to his goodness
of heart than was his peace cruise.
We prefer to believe that having
been made the dupe of Madam
Schwimmer, ct al, and having been
placed in an absurd situation, he
reacted as an obstinate man often
does, and went from one extreme to
another in word and act in his anti
preparedness frenzy until he made
himself detested by the Canadians
who were already pouring out then
life blood in the struggle against
savagery. Even that does not inn
pugn his motives, though we may
question whether man who can be
swept off his feet by wounded ego
at any time would be Of the highest
value to Michigan as United States
senator.
But. candidly, we cannot see how
any Michigan voter who has a son or
brother in the service can this fall
vote for a man who. when the war
finally came to us, hired a high
priced lawyer TO secure exemption
for his son and carried the case over
the heads of the draft boards to the
presidents door We do not need &c

most widely known men in the inter-
mountain west. died In his apartments
Mt the Hotel Utah Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Keith would have been II years
OF age the oath OF next month.
Into the early life Of David Keith
came much of the romance OF adyen-
ture. He was typical pioneer and
pathfinder. who was found In the front
ranks OF the sturdy men who carried
civilization and development into the
untamed wilds in the early days. Born
of sea-faring people, the fearless
spirit OF adventure pulsed through his
veins For him the call of the sea
was strong but the lure of the track
less west, with It's unbounded wealth
of adventure and untold riches in min
eral was stronger. In response to this
| call he forsook the sea and when a
young man of but 20 he was found In
the great mining district of Nevada.
That marked the beginning of the max
ing of one Of the VESTS most success
full and noted mining men.

CzERN|N RESIGNS
FROM THE CABINET
AUSTRO HUNGARIAN FOREIGN
MINISTER FINALLY FORCED
OUT OF OFFICE.
Emperor Charles Letter to Prince
Sixtus, Given Publicity by French,
Renders the Position OF the
Count Untenable.

Amsterdam.-Count CZernn, the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, ac-
cording to dispatch from Vienna, has
resigned.
Emperor Charles accepted the reslg-
nation and entrusted Count CZernln
with the conduct of foreign affairs
until his successor is appointed.
An official statement received here
from Vienna asserts that the latest
statements of the French premier, NJ.
CIemenceau, concerning the conversa-
tions between Austria and France re-
garding the possibility of opening peace
negotiations do not alter the situation
as regards the majority of Count
CZernin's declarations
Count Czernin did not know of EN-
peror Charles's letter to Prince Sixtus
when he made the statement That
France had initiated the conversations
with Austria, according to II Vienna
dispatch to the Lokal Anzeigner of
Berlin. On learning of the letter, he
resigned but yielded to a request that
he remain in office until the conclusion
of the peace agreement with Rumania.
The recent publication by the French
government of the futile peace appeal
by Emperor Charles of Austria-Hun-
gary in March, 1917, and the efforts
of the emperor and the Austro-Hun-
garian foreign office to explain the
letter to the satisfaction of Germany
and the German emperor, probably
were the most potent influence in
bringing about the resignation of
Count Czernin.
Since he was appointed foreign min
lister on December 23, 1916, in sue
cession to Baron Burian, Count Ger
min has been very active In attempt
ing to bring about peace and the mod
crate tone of his speeches has been in
sharp contrast with that of the Ger
man chancellors and foreign secre-
taries. However. his participation in
the forced peace upon RUSSIA, us well
as that upon Rumania, did not show
that his actions kept step with his
words.
In the peace offensive" of the pres
ent year, Count Czernin In the Austrian
reichrath on January - suggested an
exchange of views between Austria
Hungary and the United States. He
announced also that Austria based her
negotiations with Russia on the policy
of no annexations or indemnities, but
there always was some doubt whether
his pacifist maneuvers were honest or
were inspired by Berlin In an effort
to bring about split among the en-
tente allies.
Count Czernin on April In an adj
dress at Vienna declared that Premier
Clemenceau had sought peace negotia-
tons with Austria. The French pre-
mier replied that Count Czernin lied.
The French and Austrian offices then
issued statements explaining the UNI
official negotiations in Switzerland.
Early last week the French govern
ment declared that Emperor Charles
and Count Czernin both had said that
the claim of France to Alsace-Lorraine
was Just. This brought "A denial from
Emperor Charles In the form of tele-
gram to Emperor William to whom he
reiterated his loyalty to the German
cause and denied that he had said
France was justified in wanting Al
sace-Lorraine returned.

OLD TIME RAILROADS.

Pratt, Kans., Aug. Probably
no Rock Island man was ever hon

tor, last night.
Mr.. Brickle made the trip which
completed his fifty-third year as a
railroad man. When he started on
his last run at Dalhart yesterday
morning the officials Of the road and
his friends decorated the engine with
flags and bunting and presented him
with a large basket of silverware and
cut glass. He is we'll known all
along the line and at every stop he
was greeted by his friends who bid
him goodbye from the road. When
the train reached Pratt the band and
home guards met him and the o. R.
C. lodge greeted him and presented
him with fine emblematic ring Of
the order.
Mr.. Bickle has been running on
the Rock Island for 35 years and is
now 10 years of age but still quite
active. He is the first man on the
Ell Paso division to be pensioned.-

ADDING STALLS TO
THE ROUND HOUSE
Material Now Being Assembled for
Substantial Addition to
Facilities.

Material is now being assembled
for an addition to the Rock Island
round house in Liberal.
With the growth Of the business
Of the road the need for more room
has been apparent for some time, the
ten stalls comprising the present
building proving inadequate, and
plans were made for five additional
stalls, which will take care Of one
third more engines than at present.
The additions will be made at the
west end Of the present building, and
work will go forward as rapidly as
possible.
The additional room will allow a
larger volume Of work and this will
no doubt necessitate substantial ad-
dition to the force of men employed
here.
When the building was started
several years ago the plans were
changed and several stalls added, ne
cessitating the tearing out Of several
cement pits already finished. 1t was
thought at that time the present IA
cilities would be sufficient, but the
wonderful growth of the country has
proved the fallacy of this theory.

HEAVY VOTE WAS
POLLED TUESDAY
Capper and Allen, Davis and Grin.
stead Were Winners in
the Primary.

The primary election last Tuesday
excited more than usual interest, and
heavy vote was polled.
For United States senator Arthur
Capper ran away from his closest
competitor, Charles Scott, while
Henry ]. Allen won over w. Y. Nor
gan for governor.
The congressional race shows John
w. Davis of Greensburg ahead in the
county.
Mrs. Minnie Johnston Grinstead
won the nomination as representa-
tive by large majority.
Thompson, democrat, got practi-
cally all the votes for senator.
The county races were somewhat
exciting For sheriff, Ida E. Dobson
won the Democratic nomination and
DIR. w. o. Nelson the Republican.
Campbell defeated Sawyer for pro-
bate Judge; Light won over Gaskill,
and Belford won the nomination for
coroner by small margin.
The Democrats had but one con-
test in the county-the Office of
sheriff.
Returns from the state are incom-
plete and the result not known. II
seems that Capper has won by an
overwhelming majority, while Allen
has the nomination for governor in
his pocket. Tincher and Davis are
running a close race, but latest re.
ports favor Tincher.
Either the Democrats did not vote
strongly or they called for Republi.
can tickets is evident, but the latter
is more likely the case. There were
several contest in the Republican
party, which drew attention that
way, and this made the result hard
to forecast.
Counting was over in the city by
midnight, but the county returns
were not all received until yesterday
The results of the primary is 60
ing to cause a lively campaign this
fall and politics are going to begir
boiling at an early date.

DETECTIVES
MAKE A HAUL
Find Much Booze and Cause Shake.
up Among Peddlers in
Liberal.

Something like dozen federal and
railroad detectives have been in Lib
eral the past week or more, and as a
result of their efforts the booze busi-
ness is extremely quiet.
1t seems that men in the employ of
the railroad company have been ac-
customed to dropping off cases of
liquor in the country. This was
cared for by parties interested and it
eventually found its way to the
thirsty population of Liberal.
It is hard to get the real facts in
the case as the matter was handled
largely by the Federal detectives,
but it is said that a large quantity of
IJiiquor was found at the Henry Berg
farm.
United States Marshal Wood came
from Topeka and arrested V. c.
Hahn, Henry Berg, j. F. Black, Car
son Wright and Ed. Brewer, and left
with them Tuesday morning for
Wichita. The charge under which
they were arrested was conspiracy to
ship liquor into the state.
R. P. Smith and F. S. Macy ac-
companied the party to Wichita. Mr..
Macy will represent the defendants
in the hearing.
There has been much speculation
regarding the matter and details of
the hearing are anxiously awaited.
