tween eleven o'clock last night and
one o'clock this morning. Two per

Anarchist literature was discovered

Two men were arrested in Phila.

In some instances, police said the

loaded with shrapneI bullets.
Chief Of Postoffice Inspectors Coch-
ran, New York district, said today,
he did not know enough about the out
RACES yet to determine whether they
were the work Of the gang that sent

Caught In Their Own Trap.

Bismarck's latest biographer,
C. Grant Robertson, shows how
thoroughly the Iron Chancellor
was enmeshed in a web of his
own weaving. Bismarck spent
his entire official life laboriously
building a temple of autocracy.
At the zenith of his power, it
fell upon and crushed him.
When William II came to the
throne of Germany, Bismarck
was its strongest and most able
statesman. But William, with
the power that Bismarck had
given him, broke the chancellor
on the wheel of Imperialism.
The nation was with Bismarck,
but the nation was powerless to
save him. Authority began and
ended with the imperial master.
After he had fallen Bismarck
denounced the "Caesari S m"
which had accomplished his
downfall. But he simply stewed
in impotent rage. The Kaiser
laughed at this garrulous old
man who couldn'nt stomach his
own medicine.
But what about the Kaiser
now? Can he stomach it, either?
William Hohenzollern carried the
Bismarckian policy of centraliza-
ton to such. extremes that his
state was battered to pieces in
the maelstrom of war and he lost
his crown and may lose his lib
erty.
Thus was the chain forged.
Bismarck created a system and
was one of it's chief victims.
And the creature who crushed
the creator was himself crushed.
How true it is that they who
live by the sword die by the
sword. Shreveport Journal.

A Change in the Chronicle Force

Mr.. A. M. Goodwin, who has
been connected with the Colfax
Chronicle practically ever since
he arrived at the age of discre-
ton, and has been assistant to
the editor for ten years or more,
resigned his position on June 1,
with the intention of giving his
attention to other business.
His place in the Chronicle of
flee is now filled by Mr.. H. K.
Wells, compositor, assisted by
Miss Hattie Mae Smith, and with
the help of these two the editor
will try his hand for awhile in
getting out the paper and doing
such job work as may come to
hand. So thanking the public
for their longtime liberal pa
,tronage and hoping for a con-
tinuance of the same the editor
takes his place in his long fami-
liar role.
