DESpONDERCY OVER Ill
HEALTH CAUSE SUICIDE
D. r. BAKER, PROMINENT SANTA
FE FARMER, SHOOTS SELF
WITH SHOTGUN.
Tuesdays Daily Herald.)


Dependent because Of continued i'll
health, D. F. Baker, prominent farmer
of the Santa Fe community, sought
relief from his physical trials Mon
day afternoon by shooting himself
with a shotgun. Mr.. Baker was SO
years old and had been in i'll health
for several years and it was known
that he had contemplated suicide. Re-
siding at the home Of his son, John NJ,
Baker, he was carefully watched by
members Of the family who feared
that he would carry out his despond-
ent plan, but Monday afternoon about
$3.50 O'Clock he Slipped from the
house down to the edge Of the woods
lot about 100 yards away and there
killed himself. He removed one of
his shoes and placing the gun close
to his breast, it is thought, he fired
the gun with his toes. The full load
Of bird or squirrel shot passed through
his body close to the heart and came
out under his left arm.
His body was not badly torn when
found about ) o'clock after search
when he was missed from his room.
Mr. Baker is survived by one son,
John M. Baker, and one daughter,
Miss Jewell Baker, both of Santa Fe.

cy. For that reason Great Britain
drifted away from the leading nations
and declined to give their interpreta-
ton to the terms of the treaty, but
unquestionably the treaty did guaran-
tee the territory Of the states Of Eu-
rope and England slept on her rights
when she allowed the rising German
power, in ruthless disregard Of treaty
obligations and the public law of Eu-
rope, to become menace to the peace

Judge Nathan Green, dean of the
famous law college of Cumberland
University at Lebanon, died last night.
Judge Green was the Oldest law teach
er in the United States and no law
school in the country has graduated
more distinguished members of the
profession than Judge Green. 1t would
probably not be an exaggeration to
say that more than half of the lawyers
Of Tennessee who have obtained their
licenses to practice through a law
school were graduated under Judge
Green. He was 80 years of age.
4, One Of the oldest lawyers in active
practice in Columbia, William j. Web
ster, graduated under Judge Green in
1869 and he had been teaching many
years before that time. His father
was distinguished lawyer, instruc-
tor and member of the supreme court
of the state. Judge Green has sat on
that court by special appointment and
son, Grafton Green, is Il member Of
the states highest court.
The Maury county lawyer who is
not graduate of Cumberland Uniyer-
sity is the exception. The following
members of the bar were members of
this famous law school: William ].
Webster, sr, George Taylor Hughes,
ST., William b. Greenlaw, Sr., Judge
William Bruce Turner, William C. Sal
mon, William J. HARRISON, Hugh Lee
Webster, William S. Fleming. Jr, Ber-
tram c. Dedman, William J. fowler,
Thomas B. Forgey, Thomas II. Pee
bles, Hugh Todd Shelton, L. H. Ham
mond. and S. E. Stephens.
In addition the following named not
practicing law in this county are grad
yates of the school: J. c. Taylor, Har-
per Vaughn, Tom J. Jackson, Carlton
Fry, William Fry, John r. Padgett,
Gillie Orr is a student and wired Hugh
Todd Shelton of the death of Judge
Green. Mr.. Shelton and perhaps 9th
ers will attend the funeral.

fore existed and every infraction could
be brought under the consideration OF
the high contracting parties. 1t had
many faults but some virtues. For ex-
ample, France was the offending ma
ton, completely crushed and over
run, but her ancient boundaries were
not disturbed
In spite of these safeguards many
abuses grew out of the treaty, fore
most of them being the right of inter-
vention in internal affairs that was
claimed by the states, under the So
called federal system of Europe. So
fragrant were the abuses that the
terms of the treaty were gradually
set aside and by 1868 it had become
apparent that the whole theory of the
confederated system in Europe had
become obsolete and that the treaties
and mutual guarantees on which the
system rested had lost their
power. There was no con-
trolling force to give effect to
the agreements Of the congress or
to curb the warlike designs Of any
state. Hence the effort to federate
the nations of Europe first made fail
ed. 1t is to be hoped that the social
ed liberalization Of the civilized pow
ers of the world just attempted under
the League of Nations will achieve
more enduring success.
The League of Nations idea will not
prove disappointing to its advocates
if the high contracting powers" re
spect their mutual obligations. IL
will in any event prove a great moral
force for the peace of the world. Had
the nations of Europe lived up to the
treaty obligatitns of Vienna,
Prussia would never have be-
come the menace to the, peace
and happiness of the world that she
did. For example, her first aggres-
sion, that of 1866, when she stripped
possessions was in direct contraven-
ton of treaty signed by every great
power of Europe. Not one of them in
tervened. She was then permitted to
strip Austria of territory and two
years later she turned on France and
created the great German empire The
nations of Europe simply would not
intervene as they had agreed that they
would to prevent these rapes of terri
tories and aggression of war like
states. Had England been more far
sighted and held to less hide bound
policy of isolation she would have in
tervened in 1866 and 1870 and civiliza-
ton might have been spared the hor-
rors Of the recent Holocaust
But there were reasons for Eng
lands policy of splendid isolation"
The autocratic governments of En-
rope acting under powers assumed in
the treaty of Vienna, had pursued the
policy of internal Intervention in the
affairs of sovereign states to a point
where it was a menace to the growth
of liberal ideas and democratic gov
eminent and hence inimical to the
rights of the great British democra-

CASUALTIES OF
AMERICANS IN
ARCHANCE[, 529
Of This Total 1856 Were Killed
or Died of Disease; Rus
sian Troops Now Cam
paigning BraveIy.

Archangel, April 20.-(By The
Associated Press.)-Since landing
on the Archangel front last Septem-
ben, tthe Americans have suffered
52o casualties. Of these, 1876 were
fatalities. there having died of dis
ease or been killed, nine officers and
1877 men The wounded consist of
II officers and 500 men.
The losses of the Americans on
the North Russian front during the
past month have been extremely
light as most of the recent fighting
has been done either by the newly
formed Russian troops, who are
campaigning brayely, or the British.
According to the latest informa
ton, the bolsheviki have given the
freedom of Moscow up to 9 o'clock
at night to Malcolm V, Arnold, of
London, o., and Bryant R. Ryall, of
Bloomfield, N. J., two Young Mems
Christian association secretaries
captured at Bolshoie Ozerki, and
have released and sent out of Rus
'sia by way of Stockholm three of
the Il American soldiers known to
have been captured.
A total of 43 American soldiers
are missing, but outside these II
men, and perhaps one other, who
was known to be severely wounded,
in hospital near Bolshoie Ozerki,
the others still are unaccounted for.
The American Red Cross and
other influences are at work in
Archangel to obtain information
concerning prisoners SO as to allie
viate their condition. According to
information received from Ryall
and Arnold, aside from being COM
pelled to stay indoors at night and
to report once daily to the police,
they are being given their liberty in
Moscow. They are receiving
pound of black bread, some fish,
meat, tea and sugar daily and are
able to exist on the food.

MAY INITIATE
REFERENDUM ON
CIVIL CODE BILL
Amendment to State Primary
Law May Also Be Attacked;
Next Fortnight Expected
to Tell Story.
BY a Staff Correspondent.


Lincoln, April 2O.-Politicians il
Lincoln are expecting steps to be
taken within few days to initiate
a referendum on the civil admins
trative code bill, which was passed
by the legislative and signed by
Governor McKelvie, and the Rey-
nold's bill, amending the state pri-
mary law to nominate all state Of
ficers below governor with the ex-
ccption of members of the legisla-
ture and those on the nonparfisan
ticket.
The same interests are not repre-
sented in the forces which will seek
to invoke a referendum on the two
measures. In each instance, how
ever, the referendum will have the
support of large number of the
leaders of the democratic party.
Governor McKelvie trampled on
the toes of powerful minority in
his own party when he signed the
primary law and they refused to be
placated in the least by the know
Ledge that the governor was prac-
tically forced to approve the meas
sure against his own wishes in order
to save the code bill. This, element
in Lincoln is talking of referen-
dunn and are shaping sentiment to
give it the proper support when the
petitions are finally sent out for cir
culation.
No Emergency Clauses.
Neither the civil administrative
code nor the primary law carried
the emergency clause and will not
GO into effect until 90 days after
the ADJOURNMENT of the legislature
This, it is figured. will give the
hackers Of the referendum plenty
Of time to circulate the petitions,
get them signed up and filed with
the secretary of state before the
laws go into effect.
1t will take slightly under $4,000
signatures to invoke a referendum
on the measures. The total vote
cast at the last election was slight
ly over 100000. Under the pro-
visions of the initiative and refer
endum act, Is per cent of the total
vote cast at the last election must
sign the petitions. The signers
must be distributed among two
thirds of the counties of the state.
The republicans, who are talking
: referendum on the primary law
are counting heavily on the demo
cratic support. They are pointing
out that unless the law is held up
BY the referendum both parties will
select candidates for the next cleo
tion, with the exception of govern
or, by the convention system.
{ On the matter of the civil admin
istrative~ code. it is an entirely diff
ferent interest represented. The
same forces which fought the code
bill when it was up for passage in
the legislature are said to be behind
the movement to secure referen-
dunn on it. 4
The next two weeks are expected
to tell the story.

F. L. Martinson and L. Nc

ing the democratic form of govern
ment in a measure where the people
make their laws and run the govern
menr direct.
There are several forms of gov
ernment. The monarchial form
where king or emperor directs the
government, such as Germany has
or did have; the second the semi
monarchial form such as England
has. where the head of the govern
ment is perpetual, but the people
elect Representatives to parliament;
third, the republican where the peo-
pie elect representatives to make
the laws; the form of government
such as we have in the United
States; fourth, the democratic form
where the people vote directly on
al matters; fifth, the socialistic form
which is making so much trouble
over the water at the present time,
and then comes the sixth or ending
of it all-chaos.
General Rule.
There is a rule in the legislature
and a generally recognized parlia-
mentary law, that the only indivi
dual who can ask for a recall or re-
consideration of any action is the
one who voted with the prevailing
or side which carried such action
and this is sometimes done when it
has been discovered that a mistake
has been made, but it seemsthat the
referendum law gives the loser
rightto demand reconsideration of
the action of the majority without
even waiting to discover whether the
action is detrimental or not or
whether mistake was made or not.
Surely acts as important as the
administrative code and the amend
ment to the primary, bills which
were given the closest of attention
and consideration, ought to be CIV
en- at least a trial and then if they
are not good laws the next 1egis-
lature can take proper action to re-
peal or amend them. Laws upon
which so much time was spent and !
given as close consideration by as
representative body of men as
ever sat in the legislative halls of
the state, ought not to be placed
in a position where they might be
executed without first being given
fair trial. The laws of the state re-
quire that man can not be hung
without first having a trial and the
case is never sent to the jury until
after the trial has been had, but it
appears that the enemies of the ad-
code bill and the
primary law, are seeking
to give the case to the jury before
the trial has even started and lends
the suspicion that they may fear
that a fair trial will prove the
charges they make unfounded.
These laws passed by the legis-
lature after being considered ia
vorably by the standing commit
tees of both houses, by commit
tee of the whole of both houses,
passed on roll call by majority
vote in both house and then signed
by the governor of the state, should
in all fairness be given a trial by
the people themselves before the
voters of the state are asked to pass
Judgment without first testing out
the merits of the new laws.

LOAN PROSPECTS
BRIGHT ON EVE OF.
GREAT CAMP A|CN !
House to House Canvass
Method Adopted in Many Cit
les; Many Institutions Will
Receive Subscriptions.

| Washington, April 2O.-House tt
house canvassing methods will b,
employed by many communities to-
morrow in an effort to raise theil
| quotas for the Victory Liberty loar
on the opening day. This method
developed to a highly perfected
state BY hundred or more cities
and towns during the fourth loan
campaign, has been adopted by
many more loan organizations fol
the Victory loan drive and canvass.
ing committees have been drilled
and organized for the intensive eff.
| forts tomorrow.
Reports to the treasury today
were uniformly to the effect that
prospects for raising the huge loan
of $4,500,000,000 were bright and
| that preparations had been made to
push the work to the utmost during
the first week or 10 days. Many
cities held loan demonstrations to-
day, although subscriptions will not
be received formally until tomor-
row. By the middle or latter part/of
the week the treasury hopes to
have the first definite reports on
the volume of pledges. y
In the official statement issued
today by the treasury, it was ex-
planned that although the federal re-
serve banks are the only recognized
official agencies for subscriptions to
the loan, the secretary of the treas
ury appreciates the efforts of un-
official agencies.
The subscriber should indicate on
the application blank whether cou-
pom notes or registered notes are
desired. If no preference is indi-
Gated either coupon notes or regis
tered notes may be delivered. All
applications will be deemed to be
for notes of the 4 "a per cent series
except applications specifying notes
of the 3 3-4 per cent series, but the
subscriber may. nevertheless, at any
time before completion of payment,
by notice in writing, elect to re-
ceive notes of either series in the
first instance"
