The fact that the shot gun was

fire, was commented on as strange
at the time, as was the fact that the
body was close by an open window

escape from death by the fire would

THE GREAT DEBATE.
The League of Nations Project Com.
pares i'm Importance Only With +,
Great Anti-Slavay Debate

The United States now approaches
historic decision. The League of
Nation project compares in impor-
lance only with the great anti-slav-
cry debate that precipitated the
Civil war, and the action of the
United States in 1917 in entering the
World war. The proposed League is
admittedly a departure from the
traditional American policy. But the
action of this country in sending
troops to Europe was also in VIOLA
ton Of all precedents.
Whatever the senators may think,
they will never stand out against a
strong popular sentiment. The mass
of the quiet people in their homes,
poring over their newspapers by
their evening lamps, are the final
jury and ratifying power.
The League of Nations questions
should be debated in every village.
Speakers for and against the pro-
ject should be heard.
Here in DEBORAH let all realize that
this question comes home into daily
life. This community cannot be hap
ry and prosperous while threatened
Ly possibility of war. 1T must give
its most serious thought to the ques-
ton of the best means for averting
war. Is the proposed League organic
alton the most hopeful suggestion,
or some other form of association
or. no such organization at all? All
elements of business mems associa.
tons, ministers, labor unions, wo-
mems clubs, should discuss it, ex-
press thir conclusions by resolutions
and forward the same to their sena-
tors.
1t is a question to be approached
without passion or party spirit. The
world has suffered untold miseries
from war 1t must give its most
enxious thought to any proposition
advanced as a means of avertingS a
renewal of these horrors. ' "3a'aos

QUESTION WHO DIED FIRST.
Tragedy at Oxford Junction Brings
Up Fine Point of Law.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa.-The Blisek
tragedy at Oxford Junction last
January, is in the courts of Jones
county now to determine whether
the father or the son died first, and
on the decision depends the distri-
button of the estate.
1t will be recalled that the Blisek
home was burned at noon early in
January and when neighbors got %
the house the charred bodies of the
father, mother and three children
were found. While the coroner's
Jury returned an open verdict It
was the expressed opinion of the
neighbors that Mr.. BHsek murdered
his family, set fire to his home and
killed himself while mentally de-
ranged. The case has got into the
courts through the fling of two
separate probate notices. Wit Blisels
filed one, as administrator of Frank
Blisek; the father, and Park Cham
berlain filed the other as admins
traitor of Martin Blisek, the son.
The contest hinges on who died first,
the father or the son. AZ aH
If the father was the first to die
the $4,000 estate goes to the Blisek
family but if it can be proved that
the son died first, his share of the
estate, which would be about S.
COO, would go to his mothers people
