MURDER DUE TO POLITICS.
Missouri Man TO Be Tried For Killing
Neyyspaper Publisher,

GaI4atln, MO-, Jan. IS@~l Wo aiy :
before Christmas. Dec. %. 1919, Hugh
Y. Tarwater, So years old, city clerk of
GalIatIn. and president of local tele-
phone company, walked into the back
office of the Gallatin Democrat and
shot Wesley l.. Robertson. senior
partner and editor Of the Democrat. to
death. Tarwater admits the shooting.
and hints that he shot the veteran
editor in self defense. His friends say
that the tragedy was the result of a
political fued in the Third Congress
ional District of Missouri, the home of
Joshua w. Alexander. recently ap-
pointed secretary OF commerce in
President Wilson's cabinet.
The friends of the slain man insist
that he was unarrrled. and scoff at the
suggestion that politics has anything
20 do with the killing. Tarwater. they
assert, bore the dead man enmity as
the result Of the publication in the
Democrat Of the statement that Tar
water had been charged with intoxi-
cation. Six months before the killing
OF Robertson, Tarwater had fled suit
against the Democart for libel, assert
ing that the newspaper had limited that
he was protecting bootleggers. This
suit has not yet come to trial
. In 1918 an attempt was made TO
nominate the late Judge Frank p.
Diyedbiss OF Richmond, No. for con-
gress instead of Alexander. A bitter
primary fight was waged, which
resulted IN the nomination and later
in the election Of Alexander.
Following the election OF Alexander
to congress, Judge Diyelbiss was
stabbed to death last May in the court
house at Richmond by Robert S. Lyon,
editor of the Richmond CONSERVATION,
Lyon was acquitted of murder at his
trial. He pleaded self defense.
Tarwater, who, killed the Gallatin
editor. was a Divelsiss supporter in
the congressional fight. He had
bought the machinery OF a newspaper
plant and brought 1t to Gallatin. in
tending to establish a newspaper. He
Is 80 years old, married. and had been
a Sunday school teacher. He was re-
moved TO ST. Joseph following the
shooting. as mob violence was feared.
In his dying statement Robertson as
serted that Tarwater had come to his
office at o'clock In ths afternoon OF
December % and told the editor that
he did not wish him to print his name
again in the Democrat. Robertson, ac-
Cording to this statement, told Tar
water that he was running the paper
ana would use his own judgment in
determining that matter. Some
further words followed. and then, &C
cording to Robertson's statement, Tar
water opened fire on him.
Tarwater was overpowered and dis
armed by R J. Ball, Robertson's bust
ness partner. and postmaster Of Gala
tin.
Robertson had lived In Gallatin
many years. and was a former presi-
dent Of the Missouri Press Associa-
ton. Tarwater was given q prelim
mary hearing at Gallatin Jan. 10. was
held to the grand pury.

and by the enemy continued on tho
whole front until that hour. In places
the firing died away prior to II a m,
and I'm q few places firing continued
after that hour.
"The Ninety second division astride
the Moselle attacked at 2 a. M, Nov
10. and at 8 a. M. Nov. II. advanced q
short distance, but the troops had re-
tired TO cover IN face Of a heavy fire
when the commander of the attacking
brigade received information at T:lS a.
M, that an armistice would be effec-
tive at IL u, III. The brigade COM
mander reports ne ordered all firing
stopped ut lO: As a. m, and that the mr.
ing was so stopped. The casualty rec
ords show that on Nov. IL the Ninety
second division lost II killed and 2s6
pounded. Of whom 90 were eassed. The
casualty records Of the marines show
their losses on Nov. IL were nine killed
and 172 wounded.
"For several days prior 10 Nov. IL
THE attack Of the Ninety second d.
vision on Nov. 10. continued at a. m,
on the morning of Nov, IL. was not
preliminary TO the proposed attack OF
Nov. IA.
From July IS to the arnistice, the
allies attacked In accordance with
general plan This plan contemplated
attacks from just east Of the Mose'le
to the sea. From a point just east OF
the Moselle TO Switzerland the allies
were unable, prior to the armistice, to
concentrate for the attack. Thus tho
French troops holding the lines east OF
the Moselle took no part in the re'hH-
ton of the ST. Mihiel salient or the
subsequent operations Of the second
army.
"On Nov. II, parts of the Fronch'
British and Belgian lines, as well as
parts of the American line, attacked
and advanced. The Implication that
the Americans were the only troops
which advanced or attacked on Nov.
II is wholly erroneous.
Neither the French lor the ATeri-
cans were regardless Of the wastase OF
men on Nov. II, or at any other time.
Neither on Nov. II, nor at any otner
time, were American lives needlessly
wasted by some Of our officers who
were not as considerable OF their men as
the French were: nor were American
lives needlessly wasted for any other
cause unless It be that Va had not ade-
quately prepared for war in time OF
peace" .r..

CHAPTER XVII.

New-York tribune., 1920-02-02

gion are of little use to any one Of
these republics unless there is free
passage through the territory Of
the others. SO they have agreed
to the Observation-Disclosures Of traffic
for period of three years, to a joint
customs system and to the submis-
sion Of all their disputes to the arbi-
tration of the five great powers.
Here is an example of practical
wisdom and political enlightenment
which contrasts strikingly with the
particularism and the uncompromis-
ing attitude Of so many of the Euro
pean states. What Europe and
Western Asia need above everything
else is political and economic paciti-
cation. 1t is more important that
the new nations should produce and
exchange goods than that they
should insist on getting the better of
one another in the determination of
boundaries. Peace and work are the
program for the future rather then
dubious territorial aggrandizement.
The Caucasus republics deserve spe-
cial consideration for having recog-
nized that fact.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-02
A Ray Of Concord

The peace has brought but little
political concord. Nations which
fought in a common cause have been
pursuing separatist and clashing
policies since hostilities ended. This
is particularly true Of the smaller
states which have emerged from the
conflict or have been enlarged terri
torially by it.
Czecho-Slovakia and Poland quar-
relied over Teschen. Poland and the
Ukraine fought for many months for
possession OF eastern Galicia. Poland
is still at odds with Lettonia. The
new Baltic states have held various
conferences, but have not reached an
agreement either for joint military
action or for economic solidarity.
Serbia--now Jugo-Sl&--ia-is in
conflict with Rumania, Albania and
part of the Montenegrin popula-
ton, as well as with Italy. Rumania
has been estranged from the western
Entente powers. The old Balkan al
lance is dead. Everywhere in Cen
tral and Eastern Europe a spirit of
mistrust and aloofness has developed
IN the train Of the Versailles and
st. German settlements.
1t is pleasant to note an execution
to this rule. In the Caucasus re.
gicn, where broad-minded states
manshlp was hardly to be expected,
the three new republics Of Georgia.
Azerbaijan and Armenia have seen
the wisdom of practic;ns cooperation
and concord. These states differ in
race and religion. But instead of
fighting among themselves for a pre-
carious local supremacy, they have
been drawn into an alliance for de-
fence against the Bolsheviki on the
one hand and the Cossack state Of
Kuban on the other.

Sir: To-day, while riding in Broad
way surface car, two men wearing the
uniform of the United States Army en-
tered and began selling books, the sum
thus raised being for the benefit of sol.
dlers wounded in the war. 1t seems
strange state Of affairs, when one
considers the millions of dollars raised
ny all sorts of means for war purposes,
that men who have given more than life
their usefulness as citizens, and their
health and strength-that we might live
in peace should be reduced to such a
pltlfully humiliating way Of relieving
their necessities.

A strange tenderness which Mr..
Baker has exhibited from the first
for the whole brood Of slackers,
fraudulent conscientious objectors

attitude has naturally inspired re-
sentiment among the men who

cowardice and lack of patriotism.

nasqueraded as "pacifists"?
