WENDELL ROBERTS IN
 JAIL FOR CHECK THEFT
(From Saturdays daily)

Wendell C. Roberts, a patient at Whipplc Barracks, today is lodging in the county jail, charged with steal ing and passing a government check for $50 belonging to Edgar C. Ma thers, another patient.
 Roberts is alleged to have taken the check from among Mathers' poss- ession in one of the wards at the Barracks, while the owner of the little slip of paper was absent, and to have cashed it yesterday morning at the Central Drug store.
 After having obtained the money, Roberts hired four horses from a local stable, and with two men and a young woman set out for a horse back jaunt through the Prescott countryside, returning at noon. In the afternoon it is said a similar trip was made, Roberts again paying for the horses.
 When he was arrested last night in Prescott by Deputy Sheriff Grant Carter, only $3z of the original eighty remained. Roberts was plac- cd in jail to await preliminary hear ing in the justice court today or Monday and his companions were released as having no connection with the alleged crime.

Roots Work And Harding.

The Republican newspapers
and public men profess admira-
tien and even affection for Elihu
Root. In spite of the refusal of
their Senator's to accept his ten
der of reservations for the peace
treaty any more than they would
ex-President Taft's, it is under
stood that if Mr.. Root did not
write the treaty plank Of the
Chicago platform, he at least
suggested its tenor. Many of
them still bemoan the fact that
President Wilson did not make
him a member of the American
Peace Commission. They indorse
what he says and does in a polit-
ical way. They are correct e.
nough in this, for he lis the
ablest man in their party today.
But how do Senator Harding
and Mr.. Root hit it off togeth-
er in the matter of the League
OF Nations? We now know just
what the Republican candidate
thinks of the covenant. He viii
have nothing to do with it, if he
is elected President. He will
sign a peace resolution at once
and th9- ~, hopefully" sound
the nations that are already in
the league to see if they will not
desert it and join his New Re-
lationship. No hope for our en-
trance into the league in that
peculiar scheme. Furthermore,
the bitterest newspaper enemies
of the league recognize at once
where Mr.. Harding stands. One
of the most heated of them all
observes, he and Senator Lodge
have pronounced "a two-fold
sentence of death" upon the
League, and henceforth there
can be no such thing as a "Re-
pIblican Covenanter." The lat |
ter is absolutely true, if man
is gong to remain staunch to
his convictions on the covenant.
Meantime, what of Mr.. Root ?
That gentleman has Just finish
ed a plan for the establishment
OF an international judicial tri-
bnnal for which he is receiving
the applause of the world. But

to the founding of Mr.. Harding's
