CO c We like to serve DC RESIDENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL HILL ANNOYED BY ROWDIES The residents in the vicinity of the high school prounds have complained a preat deal of late of the annoj-ance of persons who congregate there at riht and indulge in concerts that are not only lacking in harmony from a musical standpoint but the songs are not always as select as they might be and the neighbors are sometimes shocked at some of the out breaks. It would be a good thing if the parties who are in the habit of gathering at the school grounds 'Aould lav off of the musical stunts as it is likely to result in their arrest ar the police have been notified of the matter and will be on the lookout hereafter for the nightly concerts.

G: Wray, of York, One of Ihe Moose Leaders in Nebraska, I-'avors President Wilson and Tells Why. , Judge Arthur CI. Wray, of York Neb., one of the original signers of the call for a progressive convention four years ago, and a member of the resolutions committee of that conven tion, favors the re-election of Wood row Wilson to the presidency in pref erence to Mr. Hughes. Judge Wrnv withheld his verdict until he had heard both Wilson and Hughes speak in Nebraska. After hearing Mr. Hughes at York Satur day, he decided in favor of the presi dent. Judge Wray was county judge of York county for seven years. He is one of the most active and influential progressives in the state. His sincer ity in politics is recognized by all of his associates. The statement issued by Judge Wray yesterday is in the nature of a judicial decision. The verdict in favor of President Wilson is returned in thirteen' counts. Judge W ray's statement follows: After hearing both President Wil son and Mr. Hughes in Nebraska, and after conscientious consideration, I have concluded, as a progressive, to favor the re-election of President Wil son and the election of John M. Parker of Louisiana, the progressive candi date for vice president. Progressive Platform Fulfilled. Under the president's leadership many of the planks of the progressive national platform of 1912 have been crvstallized into law. His foreign policy, in one of the most trying times in our national life, has kept the country at peace with the world. He has achieved a notable vic tory without war and bloodshed, and definite steps toward social and in dustrial justice in this country have been taken during his administration. The considerations which have led to my conclusion may be summarized is .follows: ' First The appointment of Justice Brandeis, George Rublee, and Justice Clarke appeal strongly To all forwaic! ooking cit'zens. Second A new system of federal taxation has been devised and the declaration in the progressive national platform of li12 for an Income and nheritance tax is now the law of the and. Tariff Revised Downward. Third The tariff has been revised downward as promised by the repub- (7 What Prohibition Has D one! IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, UNDER PROHIBITION: "There are no desirable buildings vacant anywhere in the business sec tion of the city." IN NORTH DAKOTA, UNDER PROHIBITION : "Drunkenness, profanity and obscene language are no more heard in public places. Poverty is well nigh banished." GOVERNOR TOM C. RYE, OF TENNESSEE, SAYS: "Drunkenness upon highways, streets, railroads, and other places with accompanying profanity and obscenity has practically disappeared." GOVERNOR LOCKE CRAIG, OF NORTH CAROLINA, SAYS: "The benefits accruing to the state of North Carolina because of pro hibition have been very great and are continually increasing. Since prohi bition was enacted in 1908 twenty-one more children out of every one hundred of school age have enrolled and twenty-one more children out of every one hundred of school age have actually been at school each day. The school fund of the state has increased more than 8." per cent. "The capital stock of state chartered banks has increased about fifty per cent. The deposits in the same banks have increased 100 per cent. The stock building and loan association has increased in value more than 250 per cent." SAFETY FIRST: VOTE YES ON THE AMENDMENT FIRST.

Steps along lines indicated in the progressive national platform of 1912 have been taken to eliminate the tariff from politics through a non partisan tariff commission. Fourth The new federal reserve act is a credit to the legislative pro gram of any nation, and popular con trol of the finances of the country has been secured and retained. Fifth The new federal trade com mission is in line with the principles outlined in the progressive national platform of H12, and business men today enjoy the greatest prosperity in the history of the country. Farmers Prosper. Sixth Farmers have prospered un der Wood row Wilson's administration. The right of farmers to organize has been established and the new rural credits law will be of great service to our agricultural population. Seventh Labor also has been recog nized. The Clayton act takes account of the human element in industry and makes clear the fact that labor is not a commodity to be bought and sold in the market place. Labor organiza tions have been withheld from the provisions of the Sherman act, and in junction relief granted. The eight- hour law for railway employes and the eight-hour legislation for the wom en of the District of Columbia are mportant steps toward the desired re form of an eight-hour day for labor, and are directly in line with the pro gressive national platform of 1012. Steps for Social Justice. The child labor law, employers' bu reau, and seaman s act an indicate a willingness to take definite steps to ward social and industrial justice and should have the support of all pro gressive citizens. Eighth Again, the shipping bill, Alaskan railway, physical valuation of the railroads are highly pleasing to progressives. They indicate a de cision to free the transportation of the country and make experiments ooking toward government ownership. Ninth As to equal suffrage, the president's position1 is satisfactory to Dr. Anna Shaw, Carrie Chapman Catt, Jane Adams and Ella Flagg Young, who are supporting his re-election. He made a special trip to New Jersey to vote for the suffrage amend ment. His declaration before the At lantic convention enlists him in behalf of this great reform. Force Not Used in Mexico. Tenth The Mexican situation can not be divorced from the whole South American problem. ; Our 'r relation to the republics of the western hemi- i)here is now of vital concern. Any move toward forceable intervention in Mexico would undoubtedly compli cate the whole situation and create fear and distrust where peace and friendly relations are of supreme im portance. The downtrodden masses of Mexico, due in many instances to American greed, need the help and as sistance of the people of the United States in this crisis in their affairs, and the doctrine of force in these new relations sister republics should give way to arbitration and co-op-crption. Prevented 31ilitarism. E'eventh President Wilson makes a strong appeal on the issue of peace and war. True, large expenditures for the army and navy have been made, and the arnpy was ordered to the border, but by so doing he has in a measure, at least, backfired against the spread of the war issues in this country, and has prevented the program of the militarist for complete preparedness and universal military sei'vice from being carried out. Twelfth He has won the greatest diplomatic victory of the age and has established his position without war and bloodshed. He has demonstrated that he may be safely trusted with the final settlement of the issue. Preparing for Future,' Thirteenth He is making prepara tions for the long future, and. is for mulating a program .looking to inter national co-operation and a league of rations. The new world political or ganization means that no nation may hereafter -wilfully disturb the peace of the world without-first submitting its grievances to the deliberate judg ment of civilized men. To th : splendid record of peace, prosperity, progress and new worn relations, I, as a progressive, sub scribe and favor the re-election of th great president who has made it pos KS"t! ttTIIUR G.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, aa they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by, a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to Its normal condition, bearing will b destroyed forever. Many cases cf deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the- blood on the mucous surfaces of the eystem.
