CALL A HALT, There are bodily ills that require the most heroic treatment and the surgeon’s knife, while severe and pain- ful, is the only remedy and a great blessing to the sufferer. The same can be said of party organization. A long line of successes tends to lull the party leaders to rest in fancied security, or the control gets into the hands of those who through incom- petency or neglect let the party inter- est drift, while the enemy is alertand active with a complete and compact organization, There were never truer words uttered than: “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” An organized and well trained regiment can whip a disorganized mob of many times ite numerical strength. There are no sore spots on us and what we say {s in all kindness, but loving the old Democratic party as wedo, in which we have spent our whole life, of which we have given the best part to its welfare, we feel that duty compels us to issue a warning and calla halt when we see it drift- ing upon the rock of defeat. Our party organization in Bates county is not what it ought to be. We call- ed attention in a mild way to the dangers of letting matters drift be- fore the November election, but our warning was spurned and disregard- ed and the result was what we thought we could foresee. When the party nominated a can- didate for county school superintend- ent, he was as much entitled to the support of the party organization as ifhe had been the nominee for presi- dent of the United States. The cen- tral committee, we are reliably in- formed, told him he could manage his own campaign and thecommittee was not called together from that date, nor did they furnish a dollaror give Mr. Ives support as a commit- tee. On the other hand the Republi- can campaign committee had active charge of Miss Cassity’s campaign and raised a substantial fund for that purpose. They had anaccurate | poll of the county and kept in touch with the voters and on the eve of election a letter from headquarters was mailed to each individual voter in the county appealing to him togo tothe polls and vote the ticket which was enclosed therein, that for Mise Emma Cassity for superintendent of schools. Is there any wonder that Miss Cassity’s majority was 300? The wonder is that it was not greater. Weintend to talk plainly, believing that the surgeon’s knife is necessary. The Democratic committee has no accurate poll of Bates county, giving the voters names and post office ad- dress. The only poll they had was last fall, which showed the Demo- crate had a majority of over 800, TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: The Weexty Times, published eyery Thursday, will be sent to any address ae year, postage paid, for $1.00, a lt Raa SS President Roosevelt was royally received by the Texans.

Officer at Carl Junction, Near Joplin, Outwits Gang of Burglars. Joplin, Mo., April 10.—City Mar- shal William Weaver of Carl Junc- tion, ten miles northwest of Joplin, shot and killed Arthur Brennen, 28 years old, of St. Louis this morning. Weaver went to the Frisco depot at Carl Junction to arrest John Myers, who is wanted here on a charge of burglary and larceny. Myers resisted and five other friends of Myers came to his rescue. Before Marshal Weaver knew what was happening he was looking into the muzzles of six guns. Weaver had drawn his gun, but it was grasped helplessly in his right hand, which hung at his side. “Up with your hands came the order from Brennen, who by this time had two guns leveled at the Marshal’s breast and was not more than five feet from him. The marsh- al onplied with the request. Brenuen ordered the other five men to make their escape while he tyok care of Marshal Weaver. Weaver kept his hands {n the afr, still clutch- ing the revolver. “Give me that gun,’’ commanded Brennan, but the marshal did not comply. Instead he dodged to one side, and, dropping to his knees, be- gen firing at Brennen’s stomach. As Marshal Weaver dropped to his knees Brennen fired, and the ball grazed the right side of the officer’s face. Two balls were fired into Brennen’s stomach in rapid succes- sion. Brennen sank to the ground utterly helpless. Marshal Weaver then gave chase * to Myers, whom he shot in the heel and captured. The other men es- Woman’s Response to Nature.
