ENTERS RACE
FOR COUNTY JUDGE

L. p. Brewer enters the race for
County Judge this week, subject to
the will of the Republican party in
its primary two weeks from Satur.
day.
Mr.. Brewer is a close student OF
county affairs and is extremely de.
sirous of seeing county affairs pro-
gressive all the time. He proposes a
close watch over county management,
and will be IN the Office, if nominat-
ed and elected, ready and willing at
all times to receive ideas about better
county management.
He is essentially a business man
with wide business experience at
home and abroad. Six years exper-
riencein the county court has equip
ped him with considerable knowledge
as to what the county does or does
not need.
He is popular with every one. If
you want a favor done ask pat
Brewer and it is cheerfully done, ev-
en- if at a disadvantage to himself,
There is no better citizen in the coun-
ty than l.. p. Brewer, and hundreds
of his friends are alive to that fact
and propose to make him the next
judge of Marion county and let us
see if we cannot advance.
The last republican judge of Mar
ion county with tax rate of SLY
and a valuation of $23,000,00O, paid
off an Indebtedness of $14,500, built
iron bridges to the value of 1900,
and left a balance In the treasury.
Now we have a tax rate of $2.35, a
bonded indebtedness of 5000, 900 and
a deficit. Why cannot records sim
ilarily as good as this be made by the
next Judge of Marion county?

WILD CAT AND coo
HAVG BRIEF FIGHT

A wild cat and dog fight was
pulled off in the rear of the Sup
ply Store Monday evening, which
accounts for the unearthly noise
in that region. The first dog in
troduced retired in good order,
but toothless part bull choked
the cat to death in a few min
utes, which was a great disap-
pointment to some of the chris
tians assembled. The cat was
trapped by Will Curtis, and was
purchased by a syndicate for the
purpose of having a lot of sport,
but by some inscrutible design
of providence it was brief.

AMERICAN TURNS | TABLES ON HIS GERMAN CAPTOR Soldier Taken Near Xivray Draws Gun and Marches Boche to American Line. HUN ATTACK FAILS
 IN TOUR SECTOR Alertness of Artillery Ob- servers Illustrates Surprise
 and Prevents Success.
Alertness of Artillery Ob-

With the American Army in France, Sunday, June 16-(By the Associated Press) - The Germans captured and lost an American sol- dier in their attack on Xivray today.
 At the edge of the village three Germans met wounded American. He was placed under guard of a private. Near the enemy wire entan- elements the American suddenly drew a revolver and forced his sur- prised custodian to march across No Mans Land into the American lines After turning his prisoner over to fellow soldiers the wounded man fell unconscious from loss of blood.
 In their attack on Xivray, on the Tour sector, today, the Germans hoped to enter the village and cap ture many prisoners, but the alertness of the American artillery observers completely frustrated the plan. Ex- animation of the Germans captured in the fight disclosed that the enemy arranged the raid a week in advance and that the 600 special troops were rehearsed.
 The enemy was to send forward a large party without preparatory ar tillery fire. These were to take up a position near the American barbed wire, and signal for a box barrage to cover Xivray village and the ap- preaching communication trenches, while the heavier artillery was to Lombard the village in the rear.
 American artillery observers saw a large number of Germans creeping about in No Mans Land and, think ing they composed a large working party the artillery was signalled for a barrage. The American artillery and machine guns, before the enemy barrage could get started, inflicted heavy casualties on the unprotected Germans in No Mans Land.
 The original plan was for the Ger mans to divide and to enter Xivray from three directions. Only one sec ton actually reached the outskirts, but only after it had been cut up badly by the American barrage fire. Of those only a small group got into Xivray, where they were quickly sur rounded by the Americans and either were captured or killed. Eight pris- oners, including a lieutenant, re- mained in the American hands.
 A majority of the American cas- ualties, which do not include any missing, resulted from the German artillery fire.
 Casualties among French civilians occurred when a German shell burst near 8 church as a procession of will lagers was emerging from mass. Many of the French wounded were cared for in American hospitals.
 This afternoon the American artil- lery sent retalatory shells behind the German lines, while the Germans, ap- parently angered by the failure of the rail- bonbarded villages as far as eight miles behind the American lines. The entire Foul sector is now echoing to the heaviest gun fire in many weeks.

DESPOTISM AND DEMOCRACY CAN'T
 EXIST TOGETHER
One Must Go-The Cues tion is Which Shall It Be?
 We Must Decide.
By Whidden Graham, in 'HThe Other
 Side

By Whidden Graham, in "The Other
 Side"
 Despotism can not exist in a democ- racy. One or the other must be de- stroyed.
 Despotism manifests itself in vari- ous ways.
 It may take the form of laws tha: exploit the people for the benefit of a dynasty, of a titled aristocracy, or other privileged class.
 It may suppress liberty of speech. or the right of the people to self government.
 Or it may impose on a people the narrow views of a minority respecting matters of religious belief, or of per sonal tastes and habits.
 The world is engaged in a gigantic struggle against despotism of the Ho- henzollern dynasty.
 In the name of liberty and democ- racy we are engaged in the greatest war in all history.
 Here at home we are threatened with a despotism equally tyrannica1 and unjust fas any that has ever ex. isted.
 It is the despotism of prohibitor5 laws; the coercion by a small minor. ity of intolerant fanatics of a grea majority of the people who use alec holic beverages. By a campaign of falsehood ant misrepresentation concerning the al legged injurious effects of these bev

CRISIS
 IS STILL ACUTE

Amsterdam, June 1.-The expect ed turn in the Austrian political situ- ation by ministerial action over the weekend did not materialize, pend ing a plenary meeting of the Polish party, announced for June 21, to re- consider the Cracow resolutions, which were a virtual appeal for the independence of Poland and it's sep aration from Austria and the Taps burg dynasty.
 It is believed, according to news ad- vices here, that an open German Polish breech will not ensue, even should the Cracow resolutions be up- held and the situation remain unde- cided until such time as the parties can come to terms. Some German elements hope that the meeting on June 21 will build a bridge for an agreement. If this occurs a summer convocation of the Austrian parlia- ment is deemed within the range of probability.

erages the petty despots of the Anti Saloon League have succeeded in forcing Congress to submit to the States Constitutional Amendment that will enable Legislatures of states with a minority of the people to de- prive the great majority of what is to most men a harmless indulgence.
 Is this exercise of ,despotic power, which will deprive at least 25,00O,- 900 citizens of their rights and lib- critics any less dangerous than the despotism of the Hohenzollerns?
 What are the American people go- ing to do about this attack on their individual rights and liberties? Will they submit tamely to the dictation of medd1esome fanatics, or will they as- sert their manhood?
 There is only one way to prevent the adoption of the tnfquftous national prohibition scheme. Every man who loves liberty, the basic principle of American institutions, must constitute himself a committee of one to work against this outrageous legislation.
 Talk with your friends in the politi- cal party to which you belong. See to it that candidates in the primar- ies for the Legislature who may favor. prohibition are defeated. Use your influence with the political man. agers to convince them that the great majority of the people who use alcoholic beverages wish to continue using them. Write letters to thu local newspapers protesting agains ratification of the prohibition amend ment. Form committees to worl against ratification when your Stat Legislature meets. Make 1t clear t your friends that if the amendmen is ratified they will never again b. able to buy glass of beer, wine O. l other alcoholic beverage.
