Daniels, in Undeliuered
Speech, Says Victory
Is in Hands of Labor

Just before going on the stage at the
Lexington Theatre last night Secretary
of the Navy Daniels handed the news
paper men present copies OF q speech
which he had prepared on the trip from
Washington and which he intended to
deliver. Then. at the last moment, he
changed his mind and spoke eXptempo-
raneously, not once referring 20 the
manuscript he carried.
In his prepared speech Nh Daniels
brought out four thoughts with telling
force. lie declared that peace would
be secured by the sword; that on labor
rested the greatest burden of the war;
that every man and woman III the coun-
try who failed to serve the country to
and that one of the gravest perils con-
fronting the nation was the danger
from insidious German propaganda
among the laboring classes.
The Kinds of Treason
Referring TO those who are traitors
10 their country in this hour of it's
planned TO say:
Every man who fires one shot at the
enemy when he might use machine

every man who drives one rivct when
he might drive two Is a Benedict Ar

there as well as in France are the bat

must prove themselves heroes or stand
shamed before the world as traitors. )"
To labor Mr. Daniels uttered
solemn warning TO beware German
tldckery. He made no effort to conceal

Walter Tracey, a former Yale student,
in response to a copy of "War?" which
he received while at a military training
camp:

The State Departments appointment
OF Associate Editor Allnson to a tiplo-

tended yesterday by Roger \. Baldwin
director Of the National Civil Rights
Bureau, at 70 Fifth Avenue.
This bureau was established shortly
after this country entered the war. Its
purpose, Mr.. Baldwin explained. is to
help CONSCIENTIOUS objectors get their
legal rights.
''Thc conscientious objector," said
Nh Baldwin. constitutes a problem

titles than any other Of the knit gar
ments but there has come a special
reqdisition for 5000 helmets and 3D.
600 pairs Of wristlets. Knit garments
are being supplied as fast as they
come in. A steady stream Of them Is
needed. It is also necessary that q
sufficient amount of knitted garments
be on hand for the winter months IN
order that the men in training at that
time can be properly supplied and
protected while in training. This will
necessitats increased effort in cOntin-
uing the good work heretofore accom-
plished in order that our Bureau Of
Supplies have a sufficient stock on
hand for equipment when acquisitions
reach them"

TULSA MAN OPENS
NEW BARBER SHOP

In the morning the new Liberty
barber shop will be opened for bust
ness. The establishment is one OF
the finest Of its kind in the three
states that corner here. It is equip
ped with the latest and most expen-
sive chairs and mirrors and in ad-
dition to the five barber chairs, tub
and shower baths have been put in.
The proprietor, o. C. Burris, comes to
Baxter from Tulsa, Okla, and that is
a sufficient guarantee that he is up
to-the-minue in his ideas. Among
other things Mr.. Burris has put in a
sterilizing cabinet in which all his
barber tools are kept and every GUS
toner will be provided with a clear
outfit of towels.

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION

Perhaps you have never thought Of
it, but this disorder Is due to lack
of moisture in the residual matter Of
the food. If you will drink an abund-
ance Of water, eat raw fruits and take
lots of out door exercise, you may be
able eventually to overcome it entire
~. In the meantime use the most
mild and gentle laxatives. Strong and
harsh cathartics take too much wat

most agreeable in effect. Give them

CONTRACT Is LET FOR
SIX DWELLING HOUSES

j. C. Squires. of Carthage, who
through the George Rucker agency,
recently bought n number Of lots in
the Barnes addition on West Eighth
street. on Thursday, closed contract
with Kitchener 4 Cassell for the cree
ton thereon of eight or nine four
room cottages, all of which will be
built in a substantial way and pro-
vided with water, gas and electric
lights. Mr.. Squires was about to let
the contract last week, when the wat
or trouble came to a climax. He hes
itated, but on being assured that BaX-
ter would be provided with a good
water supply Just as soon as the city
could vote the bonds and construct
the plant, he decided to go ahead with
the houses.
The demand for rental houses is
very urgent in Baxter Springs, even
more so than at any previous time.
This is due no doubt to the extension
of the electric line to Picher. Many
people want to maintain their homes
here, though their work and business
is vet in the field around Picher.
