Petition for Guardian

Petition was filed Tuesday with the
probate court to have a guardian APP
pointed for Roy Key, the young Wes-
ton farmer arrested for breaking into
two Athena stores and taking some
watches and jewelry. Defendant is
cited to appear in court, January 10
and show cause why he should not be
adjudged incompetent and placed un-
der guardians care.
1t is reported that it is generally
known by those in close touch with
the young man, that for some time
he has shown evidence Of not being
responsible for many of his actions
His. burglarizing Of the two stores
here is cited as one instance in par
ticular, for the reason that he was
possessed of sufficient means to pur-
chase anything he needed.
The charge of his breaking into the
stores here has not been pushed, pre-
sumably on account of knowledge Of
the young mans mental condition.

Double Header Basket Ball

Weston High school stars Of bril-
liant past were bedimmed by a new
constellation last night in double
header contest. The alumni team Of
girls was defeated by score Of 10 to
II, Jackson being credited with II Of
the high school points. The boys
game was fast and exciting. The
confident vets walked away with the
first half, but the superior condition
of the rockies told and they won out
by consistent playing in the second
period, the final score being "a to %
in Highs favor. Bulfinch at center
played a dazzling game for High in
the second half. Emery Stages, vet
eran Of many a hard-fought field in
a remote yet glorious past, refereed
the event. Pody Duncan judged the
girls game, and having taken the
precaution to get his locks clipped,
lost no hair.

A REAL KENTUCKY STILL
IS RAIDED NEAR MILTON

A moonshine still, the most COM
plete in detail, that has been taken by
Sheriff Taylor in his raids against the
moonshiners was captured ina a cave
on the Walla Walla river above Mil
ton Tuesday, and with its owner, a
fellow named Benson, was brought
to Athena and turned over to Judge
Richards court.
Benson paid fine Of 5000 and had
a wad of money left. After his hear
ing and payment Of the fine, Benson
talked freely to several on the street.
He attributed the finding of his
still and his capture by Sheriff Taylor
and Deputy st. Clair, to a couple Of
boy trappers. who couple Of days
before had been seen by him in the
vicinity of the cave in which the still
was located. That the boys were in
the cave, Benson said he was sure
for a couple of sticks which he had
placed in certain manner at the
entrance had been disturbed. He be-
lieyes the boys told Of the location Of
the still, which was a complete affair
consisting of large copper tank,
coils, heating apparatus, etc.
The officers say that Benson evident
ly is an expert at the business. He
had secreted his still in cave on the
banks Of the Walla Walla river where
he operated for three months within
40 feet Of passing fishermen. The Of
ficers brought over several quarts Of
moonshine whiskey and some shelled
corn, and before leaving the cave,
they destroyed quantity of mash.
The Milton-F -Freewater district ap-
pears TO be fayorite haunt for the
moonshiners, as this is at least the
third outfit from there that has figur-
ed in Judge Richards court. A man
named Hill was brought before the
Judge Monday for his hearing. He
was fined $3.50, which amount he said
he would secure at Freewater. He
was returned to the county jail.

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-07-15

The republican party stands for
agreement among the nations to
preserve the peace of the world
And each and every argument that
Chairman Cummings puts forth is
in reality an endorsement of that
principle, and OF that principle alone,
free from any allusion whatever to
the Wilson league The conclus-
ions reached by him are utterly
gratuitous, wholly unsupported by
the facts, and in truth are false in
every particular. Nevertheless, the
theory of national obligations to en-
ter the league, and alleged repudia-
ton of national honor by the repub-
lican senate is to be the keynote. of
the democratic fight for the presi-
dency The fraud that the party
seeks to perpetrate upon the voters
this year is even more objectionable
than the miserable deception it re-
sorted to in 1916 when the insidious
slogan He kept us out of war" was
brought into play Up to the time
Of the elections of that year and for
a short time thereafter that slogan
was technically true. This year the
democratic campaign will be based
on colossal falsehood.
But "a lie never lives to be DID,
and before the votes are cast in No
vember the people will be alive to
the campaign OF unblushing menda-
city by which their votes have been
sought for the democratic candi-
date"

DECKER DIGS DANIELS

Another row is on in the navy de-
partment. This time the secretary
has taken umbrage at Read Admiral
Decker for presuming to suggest that
it would be for the good of the serv-
ice to have real navy man at the
head of the department rather than a
civilian politician. In his letter to
Senator Hale, chairman of the senate
naval committee, Admiral Decker
charged that Daniels had intention
ally and deliberately" misrepresent-
ed certain acts of Admirals Sims,
Fullam and Fiske OF course the
statement added heat to the already
aroused ire of the petulant secre-
tary, and the report is current that
Decker is to be "called on the car
pet' and made to explain. The sit
uation in the navy is rapidly resolv-
ing itself into a controversy with all
the men who by education and life
time of naval experience are experts
in their line, on one side, and the
blase Daniels, who has thought and
dreamed of nothing but democratic
politics for twenty years, on the 9TH

ADVICE, NOT COMMAND

Governor Clement of Vermont. af-
ter making an appointment with
Senator Harding, has conferred with
the candidate regarding the advis-
ability of calling an extra session of
the Vermont legislature to act on
the woman suffrage amendment.
True to his declaration of several
days ago when Senator Harding has
refrained from taking the initiative
in urging action of that sort, being
determined not to infringe on the
rights of the states in such matters.
But the fact that Gov. Clement
sought Senator. Harding's advice
gave the latter an opportunity to ac-
quaint the governor with his views.
II told the governor frankly"
says Senator Harding, that If my
advice were wanted, would be glad
to see Vermont republicans close up
the great franchise reform. The
women throughout the nation are
deply interested in the national cam

MENDACITY
CANNOT SUCCEED

Quoting the ancient Sophocles,
who said that "A lie never lives to
be DID," the Republican Publicity
Association, in statement given
out this week, declares that the fall
lacy that the United States obligat-
ed itself to enter the league of ma
tions will be exposed before the
votes are cast in November. "Soph-
ocles might have added" the state
ment continues, that constant re-
petition of lie does not make 1t a
truth. On the infrequent occa-
sions when President Wilson sum-
mons energy to open his mouth in
the discussion of public policy he ex-
hausts himself in reiteration of
the fallacy that this nation has OBJ
ligated itself to become a member of
the league of nations. His obse-
quious supporters in the senate and
elsewhere echo the words of their
autocratic chief in the white house, |
and now that peerless producer of
political pap, the eloquent Cum
mings, has centered all his powers
OF hynotic oratory in an effort to
substantiate the Wilsonian fiction.
"It was to be expected that from
the virile young national chairman
would come an exploitation OF the
white house fable that in its enthusi-
asm, its positive assertions, and its
attention to details would excel any
thing that has emanated from the
convalescent at Washington. And
such is the fact. Every conceiv-
able Argument, citation, and QUOTA |
ton have been dressed up by Mr.. |
Cummings into what he considers an |
invincible demonstration that the |
United States in fact did obligate it.
self to endorse the league of nations, |
and that, therefore the senate re-
pudiated the nations honor when 1t |
refused to ratify the Wilson coven-
ant.
But there is a fatal flaw in Mr.. |
Cummings adroit presentation of |
the case. once detected, reveals his |
artful summary to be but a castle in |
the air. He refers to former re-
publican platforms declaring for the |
pacific settlement of international |
disputes, to earlier democratic pat
forms favoring league OF nations, |
to notes of the president during the |
war advocating measures to pre-
serve the future peace of the world, |
to resolutions of congress declaring |
for world peace, to Senator Lodge |
and TO former President Roosevelt |
who on various occasions made sun
dry references to the desirability OF |
preserving peace through agreement |
among the nations. Mr.. Cummings |
laboriously argues in support Of
proposition that no man in the coun-
try will dispute, namely, that the
United States will always do what it |
properly can to preserve the peace of
the world. Having succeeded in
that he then undertakes to distort
the meaning of his quoted authorl-
ties into support of the specific Will
SON covenant. And right there Is
where the shoe pinches.
"The Chicago platform says that

would be gratified, of course, to
have republican Vermont close the
gap, but Gov. Clement understands l
was not .trespassing on his authority
in giving him such an opinion in the
course of our conference"

to go home and stay until you have
entirely recovered.
If you see anyone who shows signs
of having a cold it is your duty to
yourself, and to the public, to tell
that \ son that he or she is endan-
gering the health of many by being
about, and that the place for them
is at home. School teachers have been
instructed to. send home all children
who show signs of having cold.
Managers of theaters have been in
structed to ask anyone who is cough
ing or sneezing to leave the theatre.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE
GRIPPE" OR SHOW SIGNS OF
EVEN A SLIGHT COLD, Dr.
Genge gives the following advice.
If you are coughing OF sneezing go
home and stay at home, for you are a
menace to your neighbor. While you
may have a very mild case you may
transmit it in very virulent form,
and thus indirectly may be the cause
of anothers serious sickness, or even
their death. Do you feel that you
can take this responsibility?
Do not sneeze or cough without
covering the nose and mouth with a
handkerchief.
Do not use public drinking cups or
towels.
For everyone, avoid, as far as pos
sible fatigue. worry, or excessive ex-
posture to cold or dampness.
Keep yourself physically ft-Get
plenty to eat, and plenty offrest, and
all the fresh air and exercise possible.
1T is THOUGHT THAT WHEN
THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS
MATTER IS FULLY REALIZED
BY THE PUBLIC. EVERY INDI-
VIDUAL WILL BE WILLING TO

HEARTY COOPERATION. THIS
is THE ONLY WAY THAT THE
