BRUNDIEGE'S COMPLAINT

Mr.. Brundidge, candidate
Tor the United States Senate,
spoke in Camden few Gays
ago. Enumerating the rea ons
why Senator Robinson should
not be returned to the Senate
he laid great stress and empha-
sis on Mr.. Robinson quitting
the governors office after his
induction into that office AMI
getting himself elected to the
Senate.
This complaint of Mr.. Brun-
didge might be we'll taken il
it were not a second nature
with all politicians and especi-
ally men with political ambi-
ton, to take everything in
sight, and knowing Mr.. Brun-
didge's persistent and ever in
creasing desire to get and to
hold office it is not at all i'm
probable that he would have
done as Robinson did. if he
had been governor at that time.
The opportunity came to Rob
inson and he took it, and we
have no proof that the White
county statesman would not
have done the same thing if he
had stood in the path that lead
to Washington.
The people, at that time. did
not approve of Robinson lay
ing down his job as governor,
but who knows, after all, but
what it was for the best, and
that the finger Of fate pointed
to this great crisis at the time
of his election? If it had not
been for Senator Robinson or
some other man like him. Ark
ansas would have been the butt
OF ridicule and contempt in the
eyes of the nation, and we
would have been a weak link
in the chain that is to bind for
ever German autocracy and
aggression. As John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi upheld
the honor of his great state at
the time when the nation need
ed it, so did Senator Robinson
uphold and lead Arkansas
along lofty paths of patriotism
and national duty when the
fate of the nation hung in the
balance. No act of his in this
crisis has been criticised or
impugned for reason that he is
doing his level best to uphold
the good right arm of our eoun-
try while it pounds our enemies
into submission.
1t is not a question of men
now, or what men did that 9th.
ers would do under similar cir
cumstances, but it is a question
OF winning this war and win
ming it as speedily as possible.
and the men who are attuned
to this one thing should be
given the job of doing it. We
want no discordant notes that
would spoil the drama now
being enacted on the plains
and hills of France.-Stephens

FINE AND TERM
FOR SCHNEIDER
Assailant of Deputy Charles f.
Willis Assessed 300 and Given
Six Months in Prison.
DEPENDENT ASKS CLEMENCY
Denied BY County Judge Nels "A.
Larson Attack Occurred
Tuesday afternoon.

For 'assaulting an officer, Edward
Schneider, who with c. c. Clifford
of this city operate the Roadside
inn near Starved Rock was fined
5000 and given six months in the
county Jail by Judge Nels A Lar
son in county court this morning.
Schneider, alleged to have been
drunk, set upon and severely beat
about the head and face Deputy
Sheriff Charles e. Willis about $50
Tuesday afternoon after the deputy,
in pursuance of his duty, had
served a civil suit summons on
Ellen Clifford, known in the sport
ing world as Nell Hill, said to be
CliHOrd's wife.
The assault took place in dark
hallway of the Hill apartments at
.1S0612 First avenue. Clifford was
also present, and in an intoxicated
condition it is claimed. He had no
part in the actual beating although
it is thought that he was the insti-
gator of the attack. Schneider was
arrested but Clifford disappeared
shortly after the fracas.
According to the testimony be
fore Judge Larson, the assault was
made without pTOvOcation or cause.
Deputy Willis sustained badly
pufed and disCOlOTed face. On &C
count Of the suddenness and swift
ness of the attack and the dark
hallway in which it occurred, the
officer was unable to testify as to
whether Schneider used weapons
other than his fists.
Schneider had little to say in the
courtroom. Through his attorney,
Clarence Schroeder, he pleaded
guilty 10. the charge of assaulting
an officer which was preferred
against him. The defendant admit
ted his wrong and threw himself on
the mercy Of the court. Judge Lar
son. in addition to the fine and Jail
sentence, ordered that commitment
stand until the fine and costs of
the case are paid by Schneider.
Must Serve Time.
Counsel for the defense, after the
fixing of sentence, inquired of the
court whether the Jail term could
not be committed and an extra fine
assessed in its stead. He proposed
that. the defendant be released
upon probation.
Judge Larson ruled. however.
that in accordance with a recent
ruling of the appellate court in
connection with the Henry Huy-
vaert liquor case, that partial pun
ishment and probation could not
both be included in a county court
sentence Judge Larson so passed
sentence in the Huyvaert case and
was later overruled by the higher
court.
