A Protest

At the request of railroad authorities the following telegram is being made public. It was sent on February End by B. F. Bush, president of the Mis- souri Pacific. to w. G. McAdoo. direc- tor general of railroads:
 Newspapers report that Chairman Simms sent you great number of letters that have come to him from shippers organizations complaining of the poor service given by railroads and that the invariable answer of the man. agement to complaints is What else can you expect under Government con trol?' At a meeting of executives of St. Louis lines, held this morning, we protest against this as another gross libel on a class of men who are work ing assiducusly day and night to achieve best results for the country. Hope you will sift matter to the bottom and in sist that shippers organizations reveal the names of the men who have so expressed themselves.

Appeals to South

''I particularly appeal to the farmers of the South to plant abundant food stuffs as we'll as cotton. They can show their patriotism in no better or more convincing way than by resisting the great temptation of the present price of cotton and helping upon a great scale, to feed the Nation and the peo- pie everywhere who are fighting for their liberties and for our own. The variety of their crops will be the visible measure of their comprehension of their national duty. Woodrow Wilson

!Alcorn For Reflection

The attention of our readers Is called this week to the announcement of k. F. Alcorn. who Is a candidate for re election to the office of Sheriff
 The Ghicot Spectator has the follow ing to say of his candidacy
 Mir Alcorn Is now successfully serving his second term in this most trying position sheriff and ex ofticio collector of Ghicot county.
 In entering the race for re election Mir Alcorn does so, satisfied to stand on the record he has made during his tenure of office
 His first campaign platform was, if elected. he would enfore all laws without favoritism or partlalty. For the third time that same plank is in his platform. and believing that he has fulfilled the provisions of same. he especially asks the constituency for their approval by reelection.
 Shortly after the declaration of war there was considerable German propa- ganda in this vicinity, but Sheriff Aleorn firmly but quietly handled the situation so that there was not noticeable labor shortage here on that account
 By reason of his successful admin istration the past two terms. and being better qualified by his past experience in the office is capable of giving con tinued satisfactory service, MT. Alcorn zens favoring such continuance
