There are times when autocratlc
monarchs unconsciously perform good
work for their subjects. For instance
the king of .Abyssinia recently pur-
chased a flivver and, finding that the
roads in his country were IN such
abominable condition that his tin Hen.
nv could not traverse them, ordered
that 5000 miles of macadam be lad
down. Three cheers for the plach
monarch! .

Don Natural Pet Of Soldier.

Dogs are a source Of great comfort
and satisfaction to the young fighting
men from America who find in them
desotion and companion ship many
crave. They are amused by the, antics
of lively dogs but they are given much
deeper pleasure by the absolute loyal
ty and complete unseltishness OF their
pets. If there is one place in the world
! where entire devotion to conlraie is
more priced than it is anywhere else
/! that place is an army of brave and
! true soldiers.

How MUELLER SLIPPED IN

5s ] HOW MUELLER SLIPPED IN
It seems to us that Charles a. /
Lethert, the democratic candidate for
clerk Of the supreme court who was
defeated BY Herman Mueller, pseudo
republican, has excellent grounds for
seeking redress in the courts.
The republican state executive COM
mittee is absolutely responsible for
Mr.. Lethert's defeat. When this COM
mittee investigated Mueller and found
that he had pledged himself to the
Townley party, repudiated him and
cast him forth from the fold the bal
lots had already been printed and dis
tributed to the county auditors. Fur
thermore, the republican state central
committee in advertising the ticket,
upon which Mueller's name appeared,
used the legand, Vote it straight" In
this it was obviously misleading for
Mueller had then been kicked out Of
the party. In other words, good re-
publicans, who always vote the ticket
! straight, were hoodwinked-they con-
fidently believed that what the repub-
lican central committee advised them
to do was right and proper.
While the reputation Of the Non
partisan league candidate by the re
publicans came too late it was no fault
Of Mr.. Lethert's. Yet, withal, he had
to suffer was defeated when, had
the voters known the truth in time
he would doubtless have been elected

indorsed by his party he did not seek
/ to obtain the Endorsement Of the Dol.

He made clean-cut campaign and !:

Were we in his shoes we should Ger

fact that his name was placed upo1

la ToWnleyite. Whether the law woul'
: permit Of contest or not we do no
! know, but justice and fair play shoul
rule.
We feel confident that in a squar
