DRC VOLUME 22. NO, 237. TO ME DANA SLEETH OMEWHERE about the office is the copy for this column. But nobody seems to it to clean a typewriter, Anyhow, at the last minute there wasn’t a thing to go in this Place. So they told me to write some- thing in a hurry, and while various other Guating around tor . The essential cussed- ness of all inanimate ob- qowhere better shown the print shop, and that spends. his working h a shop, and retains of character and his urance, has thrice quali heaventy seats, and ‘owns, and harps, and things. About the only satisfaction you get is to blame it on the intelli- gent compositor, who probably | hasn't had a thing to do with it. and try at the last minute to fashion brain ingots from the crude, stolid, unytelding fron of your soul. 5 H ett ate ROBABLY about the time we get thru with this, some bright searcher will discover the lost copy. That's something else about In- animate objects that gives us painful feelings. Always what you want is in the last corner of the last drawer of the last bureau in the house. Never by any chance do you pick out the right key on the ring un- til you have tried every key and found it the wrong one. For the discipline of our souls, and the upbuilding of patience, it is foreordained that nothing shall come without effort; that so much search and striving and work shail be gone thru before we reach any goal worth while. The easy jobs are always the over-crowded ones, and the houses for rent are always impossible, and the theatre that has no waiting line has nothing elne, either ene UT does anybody ever re- member all this? Certainly not! We keep right on care leasly throwing things about, and then spend precious last minutes wildly searching for them. We refuse to train ourselves for the important tasks, pick the easy and at middie age find our ones selves shoved aside by the press of youth and the ardor of other un trained competitors Helter-skelter, and then whine Bo when we receive what we deserve g All of us are that way most of Es the time. We go thru life with © our sensitive noses quivering over our shoulders, and bumping our DP) raw shins on fortuitious circum tance, and, until we are laid out for our I little trip to the grave yard, we never think to use fore sight instead of hindsight. A thing happens to a dog once and then he knows; a thing hap pens to 4 nan a thousand times and still he refuses to believe it And strange, too, it seems, that of all the things lost in the world féw are found. Like pins these lost things just vanish into the n of chaos with out doing anybody any good.

It is whether or not school affairs are to be made the plaything of class politics. On isues affecting the schools, Walter J. Santmyer, who has served as school director for the past yea: has an unimpeachable record. He has been a tireless worker. He brought ot the school board a year ago the training of a capable engineer. He is a doer, not a mere spoter. Not a single act, in his term of office, has been, ‘or could be, assailed. He has been progressive, thoro, and American. ' Yet the Triple Alliance seeks his defeat. Why? For the only reason that his nomination has not been dic- tated by it—for the only reason that he would continue to be independent in his voting of ANY class. The same is true of George H. Walter. As a resi- dent of this state for more than a score of years, the people have had a mighty good opportunity to judge the man. And no one can say that his thoughts or his opinions are domniated by any clique, faction, party, or class. He, too, is thoroly independent. And that is why the Triple Alliance is opposing him. Santmyer and Walker have the ability and the good will to treat the affairs of the school district squarely and progressively, There is no question about their qualifications, And the issue tomorrow is whether they should be elected to represent all of the people, or whether the Triple Alliance should succeed in a reign of turmoil, class bitterness, and upheaval even in the educational work of this city. You must answer with your votes. lar MINERS’ TRAIN IS WRECKED! BURNS TO GROUND Weather Fore in Kansas | | Off Track ers Are Caught in Big.

He has made no plans for going to Grand Rapids, Mich., where he | was indicated, as he said he had not yet been officially informed of the action. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 1. —A bench warrant charging con- spiracy and perjury has been is- sued by District Attorney Clar- ence W. Sessions against Sena- tor Truman H.

This ix the number of persons mentioned in the indictments. It Was announced | that the Newberry warrant would be| sent to Maurice Splain, United | States marshal in the District of Co- lumbia, It was pointed out by go ernment officials that Newberry, |altho a senator, is eligible to service | because the offense charged against him is a felony. | Four Under Arrest Four Grand Rapids men were ar- | rested and arraigned on charges of | conspiracy shortly before noon, They were William E.

Used Third Degree ‘The charge against Jenkins “is en- tirely unsupported by evidence,” Lansing’s note declared. An investi- gation of the case by American agents “fails utterly” to support the charge against him, it is asserted. Mexican officials are accused of | using third degree methods on Jen- kins, in that they harassed him, try- ing to get him to give false testi- mony, when he was weak and sick in the hospital. To get evidence inst him, witnesses were intimi- dated, the American | government charges. The American people are aroused “to the point of indignation” by the Jenkins case, the note said. It also stated that Puebla, the second larg- est city in Mexico, is, thru Mexican negligence, freely visited by bandits. This negligence is blamed for Jen- kins’ abduction and Mexican authori- ties are accused of failing to carry out the duty incumbent on them to apprehend Jenkins’ kidnapers, The state department had no con- firmation of a border report that Jenkins already had been released. Chairman Porter of the house for- eign affairs committee will confer with Secretary Lansing on the Mex- jean situation this afternoon. He will ask the secretary of state to outline the government negotiations, and stated that he would assure the ‘partment of the house’s support in any action that may be taken to safeguard American rights in Mexico, Text of Note ae text of the note to Mexico fol- “I have not failed to transmit to my government the note of the Mexi- can government dated November 26. 1919, with reference to the case of William ©, Jenkins, American con. sular agent at Puebla, and I am in receipt of a reply from the govern- ment of the United States which I (CONTINUED ON PAGE TEN) Rumor Jenkins Is Freed From Jail EL PASO, Texas, Dec, 1.—~A report that William ©, Jenkins had been re- leased from Pueblo jail was given currency here today by Mexican Con- sul Garcia and Vice Consul Sando val, but was not vouched for by them, They said they heard it in Juarez and traced it back to a Chi- huahua City newspaper, but were un- able to confirm it, At Unite.
