NOT TO BE TRUSTED OVERNIGHT,
SAYS TAFT.

"The gentlemen in the Senate
who are setting out to defeat

I would not trust overnight"
former President VIM. II. Taft
said last Wednesday in San
Francisco at a luncheon given in
his honor by civic organizations,
as a part of the programme of
the Pacific Coast Congress of
the League to Enforce Peace.
''They are citing the Consti-
tuition as an argument against
it," continued Mr.. Taft. II
revere and worship that great
instrument, and it is a new story
to me if the Constitution pre-
vents this people from playing
their part in bringing peace and
happiness to ourselves and the
other peoples of the world.
''This is not a political ques-
ton, God forbid. I am glad
President Wilson went to Eu-
rope, because he went bearing a
promise of a League of Nations.
''The application at this time
of the doctrine of avoiding en-
tangling alliances is reactionary
to the extent of delaying world
peace one hundred years. The
question at this time is whether
the whole great plan of the
League of Nations is to be de-
feated because we can't get a
two-thirds majority of our Sem
ate for its ratification"

Premier Georges Clemenceau,
characterized by Lloyd George

as "Milou." Seven shots were

Premier. One bullet lodged in
the muscles of the shoulders,
penetrating deeply, but, so far
as is at present known, not in

two other bullets are reported
to have passed through the Pre-

At the time of the attempted

with Col. Edward M. House, of
the American peace delegation,

Dear father:

the opportunity to write you on
Dads day, so I will write you
now. 1 haven't received any mail
yet. l hope you are all well and
getting along fine. Some of the
lucky boys are on their way
home. I expect to be among the
last to go back so l wont be dis
appointed, but there is one
thing we can be thankful for, we
wont have to dodge the big
shells and machine bullets. l
have been on several fronts; you
have probably read about them
in the papers. / was on the
Contingency front for several
weeks. We moved to the Sois-
sons front and went over the
top on July Is, We advanced
about A miles and then got my
first wound by a machine gun
bullet just above the elbow on
my right arm; it didn't touch the
bone. l was sent to the Hospi-
tai, and when returned to my
regiment they were on the Yer
mum front, then after several
days there / was slightly wound
ed again. 1t was high explo-
sive shell this time. I don't
know just how close it struck
but it sure shook me up and a
small piece of the shell went in

THE TEXTBOOK ADOPTION.

The adoption of textbooks to
be used in the schools of Ken
lucky for the next five years has
been completed. No doubt some
needed and good changes have
been made. 1t remains to be
seen when the complete list and
prices are published whether
material and real improvement
has been made. It is significant,
however, at this time, that while
the Governor, who is chairman of
the commission that he appoint
ed, promised the people the few
est number of changes possible,
the maximum number possible
has been changed. While many of
the books adopted five years ago
were never our choice, and, we
foughtbitterly otonlytheir adop-
tion, but the corrupt plan by
which they were forced upon the
people, We can see no improve
ment in the material and unnec-
essary andexpensive changes that
have, by this commission been
made. We have heard of no
charges of graft and of no dis
sension amongthe commissioners,
incident to this adoption. Indeed
it has been done in a remarkably
quiet way, we fear too quietly
and unanimously. 1t is Of course,
truly evident that the fewest
number of changes possible
would have worked the least
hardship upon the masses of the
people the majority of whom are
poor. At the same time the lar
gest number of changes possible
would naturally give the great
est opportunity for the exercise
of insidious influences and graft
30 usually incident to book adop-
ton. However, all is well that
ends well. and the dear people
may never know the difference
IN these fat days of prosperity.

Plot TO ASsasSinate Wilson.

A plot was uncovered in New
York yesterday by secret service
authorities to assassinate Presi-
dent Wilson in Boston to-day.
Fourteen members of a Spanish
branch of I. W. w. were arrest
ed and imprisoned.
After being questioned at po-
lice headquarters, where their
fingers prints were taken, the
prisoners were locked up without
bail, pending arraignment before
a United States commissioner to-
morrow.
Meanwhile mechanical experts
were assigned to assemble a
complicated machine found dis
mantled in one of the rooms
raided. The secret service
agents said they could not eX-
plain its purpose. Translators
were put to work on a mass of
papers and pamphlets seized.
One of the houses raided had
been under police surveillance
for several days as a result of
meetings held there it was said.
Eleven of the prisoners, when
booked at the police station, gave
New York addresses, two said
they lived in Philadelphia, and a
third said his home was in Eliza
beth, N. ]. All the men, it was
said, are Spanish aliens who
have come to the United States
during the last three years.
EDITOR AMONG PRISONERS.
According to the secret SER
vice men, a youth of Is, who
gave the name Of Jose Grau, is
chief organizer of the Spanish 1.
IW. w. here, and is the editor Of
a radical Spanish newspaper pub
lished in New York. In the I.
IW. W. organization, it was said,
he is known as Armoldo Sap
atena.

some time about Sept, LIST. From
there / was sent to Southern
France to a M. T. G. school and
made fairly good. After two
| weeks schooling went back to
st. Afghan to a replacement
Park, then l was send to the
3rd. Division. After I was sign.
ed to this Co., we were soon on
our way to the Toul Front. We
stayed there a few days. then
went to the Argone Forest better
know as the Verdun Forest,
where the 3rd Division went into
action on the morning of Sept.
18th, 1918. 1t is true that the
Ord Div, stayed in action longer
than any other Div. that took
part in the battle of Argone
Mouse. On Nov. 4th, just seven
days before the Armistic was
signed the 3rd Division was re-
lieved. We went back for a rest
but it wasn't long until we were
on our way to Germany. We
occupied the territory as the
Germans withdrew their troops.
We made several stops along in
order to let the men have a rest.
We MADE a long stop at Bettem-
burg, a small town in the state
of Luxembourg, afterward had Or
ders to leave there and were soon
on German soil. We hit the
Rhine river at a small village by
the name of Oherwesel, followed
the Rhine for about ten or
twelve miles to Coblenz. Stay
ed there for q short while then
crossed the Moselle river, finely
reaching our destination a small
village by the name of Mayen.
We are now in a very nice place
staying in private homes.
We are in the army of occupa-

will stay over until peace is
officially signed.

G. N. MATLOCK.

OnSaturday The Chronicle Office
was visited by G. N. Matlock, who
authorized us to place his name
in our regular announcement
column as candidate for the office
of County Trustee.
1t is pleasure to the people Of
Benton County to see men of such
sterling integrity as Neal Matlock
offer themselves for the public SER
vice. Reared on the farm, he has
mixed little in politics and has a
wholesome regard for those things
which pertain to good citizenship
and good government.
He has been urged by many
friends to make the race for Trus-
tee, and is promised a hearty sup
port, That Mr.. Matlock will be a
strong man III the race will admit
of no doubt.
No man questions his loyalty
integrity and devotion to the prin.
ciples of Democracy, and before
the Democrats in the primary to
be called, Mr.. Matlock places his
claims and their decision will be
law unto him. To the unterriied
does he appeal for support and
influence and we bespeak for him
that earnest consideration which
he deserves.
