DIPPING VAT WAR
John Shirley Shot and Two Parties
Arrested Over the Matter.

On the morning of July II. at
about $50 o'clock, while he was
on his way to the Bob Perry dip
ping vat about a mile east OF
Pollock. which he had in charge
as Federal superintendent, MIR.
John w. Shirley was shot inIhe
back from ambush, about thirty
No. 8 bird shot being lodged in
his person and a dozen or more
in his saddle and horses hip.
The shooting is thought to be
the direct result of the opposi-
ton to dipping cattle in that part
of the country, which had be-
come quite acute and much i'll
feeling engendered.
Mr.. ]. w. Whitaker was ar
rested charged with the shoot
ing and committed to Jail in Col
fax. He later gave bond in the
sum of $500, and was released.
The people of Pollock rose up in
arms over Whitaker being re-
leased at all. especially on such
small bond, and two or three
auto loads of citizens went tc
| alexandra to protest to Judge
Blackman against it. The up
shot was that Whitaker was re,
arrested and again lodged in Jail
On Saturday another man, AL
len Rush, was arrested as being
in 80 ne way connected with the
| shooting or interested in it ii
some way. He gave bond in thu
sum of $500 and has been re
leased.

The Gubanatorial Supply of Timber.

With six or seven candidates
for governor up for discussion at
this time there is no dearth OF
timber to select from.
Thus far, we believe, only one
candidate has been eliminated,
Hon. John M. Parker, who gave
Capt. C. H. Teal and other adj
miring friends to understand
that he was positively not in the
race. Two or three other candi-
dates are considered to have very
largely handicapped their claims
to preferment. SO it is practical,
Iy assured that there will not bt
more than three or four to finally
enter the primaries.

FIRST SPEECH OF NATIONAL TOUR
What Mr.. Wilson Said This Noon at Columbus,
Where Hall Was Crowded With Cheer
ing People.

"The terms are severe. but not un-
just" he said.
The men at the peace conferences
intended justice, Wilson declared.
''They had seen their lands devas-
tated by an enemy that sought to ter
rorize," he said. yet they pract,ced
restraint and did not seek to over
whelm the German people in the
peace settlement"
There is now, in Germany, an
awakened conscience" of the ini-
ouity of the crime the German gov
ernment attempted, Wilson said.
"And the treaty is not meant to
humiliate Germany, but to rectify the
wrong done by Germany, and insure
reparation for Justice to the people
whose rights Germany HAD trodden
upon"
II am astonished by some of the
statements made about this treaty" he
said They are made by those VINO
do not comprehend the treaty"
The treaty, he declared, is warn
ing to any government that may con
template repetition of Germany's at
tempt.
"The treaty was intended not merely
to end this war, but to prevent any
similar wars"
He declared that if the best tnat
can be done is not done to perma-
nently end war now, the nations word
to the families of the American SOL
diers would be broken, as these sol
diers were called to fight to end war
forever.
"The league of nations is the only
thing that can prevent recurrence OF
this tragedy and redeem our prom
ises," he asserted, smacking his handa
together for emphasis.
This Is the only purpose of the
league Of nations, he said.
Germany would not have gone 70
war had she believed Britain and
America would fight her, the presi-
dent said. Without the league, ne
warned, fresh effort at wrong would
be made by some nation as soon as
the financial stress of the war is over,
The treaty, Wilson declared, estap.
lished new small nations that could not
have won their freedom without the
treaty.
The treaty rectified age-long wrongs
in Europe. Wilson stated, which had
been fertile sources Of wars for gen.
erations.
He went into detail with regard ts3
the racial and national lines In
Europe, showing how they We're al
tered to give every people it's right
full territory
The audience which filled every
seat, listened for the most part in
silence, with occasional brief out
bursts of handclapping.
Wilson apparently made no ora
torical effort, but explained the
treaty with painstai1ing detail, like
a. lecturer. The treaty, he said, Is
"shot through with the American

MEMORIAL HALL, COLUMBUS,
O.. Sept. An attempt at conquest
will be made by some nation, as soon
as the last war is recovered from
unless the peace treaty including the
league of nations is ratified by the
United States senate, President Wilson
told the people of Columbus today, In
the first speech of his ratification
campaign.
"The league of nations Is the only
safeguard against more wars" he as
serted.
Furthermore, he said the league
must be ratified by this country TO
make good the promise to the Ameri.
can soldiers who were called to fight
to end all war.
without the league, he predicted,
peace Will be brought into contempt.
I'D rather have everybody on my
side than be armed to the reeth," he
said with regard to the league.
He said he believed he knew the
real heart Of the American people bet
ter than the foes Of the treaty know
it.

which jammed Memorial hali to the

Wilson rode to the hall through the
principal streets Of Columbus, cheered
by rather sparse crowds. Many peo-
pie were prevented by the street Gar
strike from getting downtown.
The president was greeted by the
singing Of Dixie" as he entered the
auditorium He was loudly cheered
for several minutes.
He was escorted by a company Of
Infantry on his ride to the hall. AS
the procession passed Trinity chulca
chimes played America" and otper
national airs. Several airplanes man
euvered overhead.
Wilson, clad in dark suit of busf
ness cut, walked into view on the ros-
trum at 11:30 a. m. There was one
ear-splitting yell, then confusion Of
noise as the people settled themselves
to hear the speech.
Former Governor James q. Camp
bell made the Introductory address.
He referred to Wilson as the first
citizen Of the round world"
The president started speaking at
1885 after receiving an ovation He
said he had, for long time, desired
to "go out and report to my fellow
citizens on the peace"
"The only people I owe any report
to are you and your fellow citizens OF
the United States" he declared.
Perhaps you would like to know
what is in the treaty"
Speeches he had read, he said, threw
no light ON it.
The treaty in the first place, he
said, is designed to punish Germany.
