feared in years to come when inter-
national track competitions shall

1917 was the most successful year

Zanders clipped no less than SO sec
onds from Attila's record in the 1000
meter run, and nine-tenths of a sec,
ond from the $1,000 meter figures. The
| other worlds record to go was for
throwing the javelin, best throw with
each hand, in which Yngve Hackner
set record of 114.2S meters.
The other new Swedish records es-
tablished follow: 60 meter dash. 60
seconds; 200 meters, 22.1 seconds

Drunken Russians
Kill Prince And
His Daughters
(By Associated Press, J

London, Jan. ia graphic story
of the murder by drunken Russian
soldiers of Prince Sangushko, a Pol
ish noble, and Of his two daughters,
the Countesses Rzysczwski, is related
by the Petrograd correspondent Of
Lloyd's News,
Before the war the tragedy lately
enacted at Slavuta would have sent
a thrill of horror throughout Europe"
says the correspondent. "As it is,
the bare fact that the venerable
Prince Sangushko, 80 years old, had
been murdered, has been announced,
but the CHASTITY details Of the crime
have only just been revealed.
"The castle of Slavuta, built when
the district of Southwestern Russia
where it stands, belonged to the King
of Poland, lies on the outskirts of lit
tie manufacturing town of the same
name. Owing to the unsettled state
OF the country, which is infested by
deserters from the army, the military
authorities had sent a guard of dra
goons to the castle, which contains
priceless historical treasures accumu
lated by the Sangushko family in the
course of the centuries.
Zone of these dragons caught 6
soldier from a neighboring village
cutting down tree in the forest sur
rounding the castle and tackled him
The thief was slightly wounded, but
not severely enough to prevent his
running to the neighboring village
where his regiment was stationed
shrieking that the guard at the cas-
tie was trying to murder him. The
soldiers comrades at once seized
their rifles and surrounded the castle
of Prince Sangushko. They began
to fire, and the dragons on guard
returned their fire. All the time the
officers and the members of the regi-
mental committee were appealing to
the insurgent soldiers to obey orders
and to cease firing.
Suddenly they gave way, only slip.
ulating that a deputation from the
regimental committee should search
the castle, as they were convinced
that the old Prince had stored ma
chine-guns for use in the cause Of the
counter-revolution. OF course, there
were no machine-guns, and all that
was found was few sporting guns
and revolvers.
Just as suddenly as the crowd OF
soldiers, standing in the courtyard OF
the castle, had yielded to the appeal
of their officers, came a new uproar
and, in an instant, they had over
powered the guard, and rushed into
the castle. Neither threats nor an
peals had the slightest effect on them
They destroyed, in a fit of maniaca
fury, everything that they could lay
hands on. Pictures, furniture, stat
ues, draperies were destroyed blind
ly, ruthlessly. The venerable Polisl
magnate and his two nieces. thu
young and beautiful Countesse.
Rzyszczcwski, fled to one of the at
tics, hoping that, if their home wa.
to be ruined, at least their lives nigh
be saved. From early in the morn
ing, when the marauders began thei
attack, until five o'clock in the after
noon, the sacking Of the castle wen
on. Then the soldiers retired to tn,
courtyard.

Refers to unfortunate Delays
1--WE need not dwell upon the un-
fortunate delays in the manufacture
of rifles, machine guns, artillery,
ships and airplanes, or the costly
blunders of the coal administration.
They should be used as lessons. The
credit of the administration for the
work which has been done, however,
should not be exaggerated by ignor-
ing the great powers freely given 1t
by congress.
I'm framing practical policies for
carrying out our high purposes,
there is always a halt and hesita-
ton in adopting the necessary course
finally entered upon.

MAKE BINGHAM COUNTY
A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE

The determination is growing
stronger that Bingham county must
have some road improvement war or
no war. II the war continues we
must have better roads to accommo-
date the traffic and save waste OF
labor. II the war comes to an end,
we shall need still better roads so
we can supply the world with food
till they get supplies up to normal
again. Then too, when the war ends,
as it is bound to some time, we shall
need to make arrangements quickly
to furnish employment to good
many people who would find diff
fculty in getting adjusted to the
changed conditions due to disband-
ing the armies.
II the country requires year to
consider what it wants to do and
how and where it is to obtain the
money for road work, it were better
we should get the preliminaries done
now, SO we shall be ready or more
nearly ready when the changed con-
ditions overtake US.
1t isn't going to be satisfactory to
the traveller Of tomorrow, to steer
his jitney or his truck over roads
that have a million chucks to the
mile, and. have his machine going to
pieces faster by reason OF the shak-
ing than by reason Of he work It
does. When the people Of the county
look around and find that they have
a million dollars invested In cars
and that the life of the cars would
be doubled by having decent roads
to operate them on, and that they
will accomplish a great deal more
on the good roads, they will be filling
up with regrets that the good roads
were not made sooner.
It is correct usage to speak Of
spending money for cars, when
there are good roads to use them on,
but it is sQuandering money to buy
cars to use on roads that absorb all
the water hat falls on them, or on
roads that are full of holes, as miles
and miles of our roads are now, after
having much labor expended on
them.
II Bingham county is to be made
q good place>to live, people may as
we'll make up their minds to build
roads and then keep them in repair.
1t is not enough to build them and
forget them, nor to have teams out
dragging the road latter the mud is
dried up, as some of our worthless
do now.
The people of Bingham county
should get busy thinking in large
figures and consider expanding
million dollars on the roads in
short period, and then expending a
large sum every year to maintain
them.

TAFT CALLS FOR
REPUBLICANS in
NEXT CONGRESS
Election of COP. Men.
Would Stimulate the
Democratic President
by Constructive Crit
cisn of Action and
Inaction.

SARATOGA, N. "a call by
William Howard Taft to the country
to elect this fall Republican COM
gress, which he declared would stim-
ulate the Democratic president by
offering constructive criticism of the
administration action and inaction,
and by legislation enlarge the ma
tons military preparations, was is
sued, by the former president, ad-
dressing the unofficial Republican
state convention here Friday.
Advocates 100000 Army
Reiterating his advocacy of an
army of 100000 men, Mr.. Taft
told the delegates that now is the
time to raise the great force needed
to win the war. With Democratic
congress-, waiting the presidents
lead rather than co-ordinating with
the executive. he said, this will not
be accomplished with the promptness
which is imperative.
While conceding the mastery abil-
ity of the president in stating the
cOuntry's war aims, Mr.. Taft as
serted the administration has not
had the same success in forming
practical war policies. He criticized
also the tendency of the administra-
ton" to allow party considerations
too much sway in it's appointments
to important tasks,' and declared
that politics has not been ad-
journed," as indicated by what he
termed presidential interference in
the party affairs of Wisconsin and
Michigan.
Must Aim to Win War
Everything we do now and every
thing we say must help win the war,
he said. THE president has said
politics is adjourned He is GER
tainly right, insofar as politics is to
be used for personal ends or party
triumph. But popular government,
even in war, must be carried on by
parties. Party organization of pub
lie opinion may be the best way to
secure needed government action.
That Is the present case. The nation
needs the Republican party to give
popular expression to an affirmative
aggressive war policy. It's success
at the polls in November will spur
the administration to adopt one. A
congress will enact leg
islation to initiate and carry it on
I'VE must admit that to change a
peace-loving democracy into nation
which shall make an effective mod
ern war on huge scale is no easy
task. There must be waste of money
effort and time. Much has been done
by the administration, and we'll done.
