Washington, Jan. 26.-The SUI
preme court today granted writ Of
certiorari to the Western Union Tel

decision of the Seventh Court of
Civil Appeals at Amarillo in which
the Amarillo court upheld the verdict
OF Crosby county jury IN giving

The supreme court granted the
writ of the company's contention
that the message was sent as an I'M
repeated one, and, hence, the com
pany is not responsible for error N
transmission.
The case Of Southwick against the
Western Union Telegraph Company
was heard IN the Amarillo court last
June. judgment Of about 5000 being

a rehearing was overruled in October

F. X. Mitchell authorized us last
week to place his name in the am

office Of Sheriff and Tax Collector,
but through some error the name
was left out. He is a full-fledged
bonafide candidate for the office of
High Sheriff and Collector in Lub-
book and attached counties, and
wants the voters TO consider care
fully his candidacy.
Mr. Mitchell is one of the old

much longer He has been connect
ed with the City Marshalrs office for
two years, having been appointed by
the City Commission to this office
which is an appointive office under

had quite a deal of experience in the
capacity of peace officer. He ser-
ed quite awhile as night Waterman,
and was for time connected with
the sheriff's department in capacity
of deputy sheriff, in charge Of the
jail.
He is a capable man. and II elect
ed we are sure will meet all the re-
quirements of his official duty.

WASHINGTON LETTER
THE LEAGUE ISSUE

As the political campaign draws to a close, the people throughout
 the country who are patriots first and partisans afterwards are be-
 ginning to fully realize the impor-
 tance of settling the issue right,
 which are involved in the present | political contest.
 The league of nations has been as-
 sailed by more political preva lca- l tors than was ever known before in
 political campaign. The hirelings
 of Will Hays who is trying to buy
 the Presidency, are going to cloud 1 the issues. They are trying to tell
 the public that the league will be promoter of wars instead if pre- ventative. The way they picture l the league is that we will be con- diers and navy to fight Europe's battles. The fact of it is that when the United States joins the league, as it should do without delay, Flu rope will have no more battles, and with the powerful aid of the United States the league will be able to prevent any war between organized governments from ever getting started.
 The league provides for a com mission to keep track of the military and naval preparations going on in any country. If any country is found to be building war machine such as Germany built up before she started the last great war, the lea que will say to that country; Quit your preparations right there" If such a country refuses to quit the great powers of the league will ap- ply the commercial boycott and will | neither buy nor sell the goods of | the offending nation. In other words by applying its power of com mercial strangulation the league will | be able to paralyze any nation that | attempts to start preparation for | war. So this great league will not | only prevent wars in the future, but it will prevent them without the firing of gun or the shedding of blood
 Republican False Alarm
 Republicans are raising cry of II "Furn the Democrats Out" Why N should any true American patriot desire to see that done? President Wilson's administration has not only won the greatest war in history, but has done so at the smallest possible cost of human life, when the mag nitude of the undertaking is com sidered
 It is true that the financial cost of the war was very heavy, and it had to be so to be successful but lnder the wise and frugal adninis ration of President Wilson thls erea debt s being rapidly paid orr lt the rate of about two billion l0uar a year and what 5ette tN President Wilson is making the

they are pouring out their money by the millions and into secret chan nels to buy the presidency for Mir Harding, who will no doubt greatly reduce the income taxes on the rich and all those taxes to the necessities of the working men, the farmer, and the great middle class. For the year ending July |, 1920, this gov ernment raised five and a half bil- lion dollars from internal revenue. The great bulk of this money came from the fat bank accounts of the rich. Such men as John D. Rocke- feller, Pierpont Morgan and other men of great wealth were compell- ed to pay S2 out of every S3 they received into the United States Treasury. It will be readily seen that these rich men could well af- ford to spend 100 million dollars secretly to buy the presidency for MT. Harding, who, with his bosses and owners, Senators Penrose, Lodge and Shoot, will see to it that the tax bill of these rich gentlemen is greatly reduced.
 While there are many disagree ape CouulllOuS Stlll ehlSllng, yet It is nevertheless. a fact that the eoun- try is prospering as it has never be- fore prospered, and a vote for a change of administration will be a vote against prosperity, which will surely diminish if there is a change in the administration As the say ing goes, we are still crossing a stream, and MT. Lincoln once said, 'It is no time to swap horses while crossing a stream"

A POWERFUL STORY

Cecil B. De Miles new Paramount production, Something to Think About" which comes to The Regent Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, has a powerful story. Elliott Dexter is seen in the role as a crippled student whose heart is torn by the loss of the woman he loves. Gloria Swanson has a tre- mendous role as the woman who errs and Theodore Roberts, as her father, runs the gamut of emotional artistry. Monte Blue plays the diff ficult part of a youth who elopes with the girl on the eve of her mar riage to the older, crippled man and who pays for his happiness with his life.

TRY THIS
(By Ada May Cromwell. )

tBy Ada May Cromwell.)
 If you are impatient and inclined to think your trouble more than you can bear, sit down quietly and have a talk with Job.
 If you are getting somewhat strong-headed, go to see Moses.
 If you are getting weak-kneed, have a look at Elijah.
 If there is no joyous song in your heart. listen to David.
 If you are becoming sordid or self-satisfied, spend while with Isaiah.
 If your zeal is waxing cool, get close to the beloved disciple.
 If your faith need fire, read Paul.
 If you are lazy, work beside James.
 If you are losing sight of the blessed hope, climb up to Revela- tion and look over into the promised land.
