Burglar Alarm Saves Loss

CITIZENS' SHOTS KILL
THREE BANK BANDITS
Three Others Are Captured After $115,
000 in Cash and l.onds Are
Recovered.
I1UREKA SPRINGS. Ark., Sept. 27..
Two unidentified bank bandits were
killed, another was fatally wounded and
two others were shot this noon in a
running battle with citizens after the live
men had robbed the First National Rank
, here of $2.MHK in money and Js'.M),(MM)
in bonds. The money and bonds were re
covered. All of the bandit gang, sir in
number, were either killed or captured.
II. II. Smith, cashier of the bank,
sounded the alarm by stepping on a floor
button which was connected with the
burglar alarm. Alarmed citizens met the
bandits with gun fire as they emerged
from the bank with their loot, carrying
before them the hank teller as a shield.
The bandits returned the fire.
Ernest Jordan, a jeweler, whose store
adjoins the bank, received powder burns
from the bandits' pistols, but killed one
of the robbers, it is said. Firing from
an upper story window of a store across
" the street from the bank, Joe McKinney,
attorney, killed another bandit. Constable J
Rrittain shot ami mortally wounded an
other. One robber who sat in an auto
mobile in front of the bank attempted ' .
to escape but was captured. Two of the
men were shot as they ran down the
street.
Our banking rooms are equipped to give an
alarm in case of a similar emergency.

SPOKANK, Wash., Oct. 9. 'Senator
Miles Poindexter will le re-elected.
That's u foregone conclusion. , What is
more interesting is the kind of attack
being made against him and the plat
form on which Mr. Pjintexter is wekin;:
re-election. .
To begin with, critics say Poindexter
is no longer a Progressive and this, of
course, is a Progressive state. -Poindex

ON VIVISECTION
doesn't care to qualify.' In fact, Mr.
Poindexter brings to his side the eminent
Progressive, William E. Borah, senator
from Idaho, who speaks here soon for the
llepublican nominee. If Mr. Borah puts
the stamp of approval on Mr. Poindex
ter that is considered sufficient to still
the outcry of "reactionary.''
But Mr. Poindexter has changed. The
situation has changed conditions are
far different today than they were in
the Roosevelt days. The ultra-radical
has had his fling here and the conserva
tive elements have the -upper hand. Mr.
PoindcxtMr hasn't hesitated to speak his
mind plainly on the question of capital
and labor, and he has spoken boldly in
towns where lalnir was strong, lie is
making much the same kind of campaign
here that Senator . Pomerene. Democrat,
is making in Ohio. All of whbh goes to

monopoly on the conservative tendencies

Democrats Solid With Their Man.
But it is significant that behind Mr.
Poindexter are practically wings and
factions of the Republican party. That
is his strength and at the same time his
weakness. Too many Republicans are
too cocksure that Poindexter has an easy
race and that they will not take the trou-
Comitry Also Opposes
Vaccination.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ' !). American
anti-vivisection forces have announced
the reinforcing of their cause aimed at
sxloption of laws abolishing the prac
tice. Dr. Walter R. Hadwen, head of
the British Union for the Abolition of
Vivisection, has been engaged and is
making a speaking tour of the country
opposing vivisection.
Dr. Hadwen opened a tour of the
western states last month iu Chicago,
Minneaitolis, St. Paul and other cities,
going then to California where he will
aid the campaign for the passage of an
unti-vivisection amendment to the state
constitution. Sentiment is strong in
California for such a measure, accord
ing to officials of anti-vivisection soci
eties, despite the defeat of i similar
bill two years ago. After a month's
work in California, Dr. Hadwen will
visit eastern cities.
Advocates of the practice who believe
in its value to the human race and to
the medical sciences, did not discuss the
question publicly with him, it was raid,
when he visited this country several
years ago. He is making the present
visit in answer to those proponents of
vivisection who challenged his' right to
speak for opponents.
The doctor wan formerly a believer
in vivisection, it was said, as well as
We to vote. the Kepull;eun lenders . vaccination and inoculation. Dr Hml
have more to fear on this score than' wen claims that 75 per cent of English
any other, and while they don't like to children are unvaccinated, and attrib-
say it they recognize that Representative
C. C. Dill. Democrat, has a united party
behind him and is something of a vote
getter himself. Mr. Dill's position is
unique. If his party associates were to
confess they would conrede they wanted
somelMdy else to run. They thought it
would take . another type of candidate
to leat Mr. Poindexter. They claim to
be satisfied, however, and are counting on
the natural protest vote and the cumu
lative dissatisfaction to help them on
election day. Mr. Dill, by the way.
voted against American entrance into
the war and later voted against conscrip
tion. It is amusing to see this issu
side-stepped. The Republicans are mind
ful of th overwhelming victory won by
both La Follette in Wisconsin on an out
and out anti-war record and they want
no such issue raised. The Democrats
are just as happy to let it die also, so
the chances are neither side will make a
fuss about what hapi)ened in 1017.
Will Not Repeat I Follette Move.
The psychology of this is worthy of
more than passing mention. Do Ameri
cans really regret that America entered
the war and saved the world from what
seemed at the time a domination of Kai
serismV The truth of the matter is the
burdens of war are much more widely
known and felt today than they were in
1017 and the fact is warmaking is more
unpopular now than it ever was. As to
whether in the circumstances that ex
isted a member of congress was right in
voting against war is quite another mat
ter. The probabilities are that persecu
tion of Americans who tried to exercise
an indejiendent judgment, mistaken as
it may have been, leads to the counter
attack. The Republiacns have no in
tention of making Mr. Dill a martyr and
the Democrats are busily engaged in
howing that out of I OS opportunities to
support President Wilson on his war
measures. Mr. Dill voted 100 times with
the Democratic executive. So it would
not seem as if either side cares to make,
in Washington at least, a campaign on
war issues and it is suspected here that
if Mr. La Follette hadn't been singled
out for such extensive criticism he might
not have been so fortunate in the vote
this year in his own state. Persecution
or "what seemed to be persecution for
independent judgment was really voted
against in the La Follette case and the
people here are not anxious to make the
same mistake.
Analyzing the situation throughout
the state one finds that the radicals,
Farmer-Labor voters and other elements,
which Roosevelt termed the "lunatic
fringe," are not organized: Had they
combined they might have overturned
Mr. Poindexter in the primaries. Mr.
Poindexter received about 43 per cent of
the Republican vote. This is more, to
be sure, than he got six years ago, but
it proves that nearly 4)0 per cent of the
vote in the Republican party is scattered
and might some day be combined to the
distress of the regulars. The Non-Partisan
league followers have preferred to
work through a third ticket instead of
through the regular parties, which ac
counts for the difference between Wash
ington and its neighboring states in the
West. ....
Little Antipathy to Japan.
Senator Poindexter is making much
of the conference on limitation of arma
ments. It is true one hears less talk
of war with Japan than ever before.
The Washington conferem-e together
with the demonstration of land and sea
power in the recent war have removed
the war bogey and the Pacific coast is
doing a better business with Japan than
anybody" dreamed, would be possible so
soon after the European war. Business
on the coast is better and in the state
of Washington it is improving so flap
idly that the Republican party will not
suffer the fexpected ills of a period - of
adversity-.-' " . . . .
The, discussion here is whether Mr.
Poindexter wfll win by 40.000 or
whether his majority will be reduced to
oO.OOO. The Republican campaign man
agers will, be disappointed. -if thev get

Stod
The Highway Situation.
(St. Albans Messenger.)
The natural wonderment in a
many minds will be, "Why did
Hates have to wait so long lo learn that
he was unable to eo-oierate with the
other members of the state highway com
mission?" This last minute discovery of
this important fact, coming so near the
time of the 102.'? session of the legislature
of which he is to be a member in the up
per branch will cause more tlmn oiie man
to believe it is more or less of a bit of
stage play, a prologue, perhaps, of the
highway drama which undoubtedly is
going to be staged at Montpelier the
coming winter with Stod appearing in
the role of the hero or the villian, accord
ing to how one views it.
Meanwhile, the general public which,
whether it wants to or not will have the
capacity of angel to the production thrust
upon it, since it will have to settle the
bill, might well keep in mind the resolu
tion presented to the Vermont hotel men
in session this week at Manchester which
commends the highway department of
Vermont, declaring that our roads have
been in better condition this year than
ever before. These hotel men are wide
nwuke and realize that the condition of
the highways is a mighty important
factor in their business.
There is this much to be said. The new
highway policy has produced results
whichf compare not unfavorably with
what has gone before. Perhaps the new
machine has not worked without creak
ing a bit. That would be nothing strange.
An automobile engine runs the smoother
after the first thousand miles or so. There
will be an attempt, undoubtedly, to re
turn to the old system. The question for
the legislature to ask itself is, are we go
ing to be fair to the new system and give
it an opportunity to operate and prove
itself, or are we gnio? to keep on switch
ing and keep the road machine constantly
and continually upset. One of the costly
habits Vermont legislatures have is this
constant chanee of policy. Nothing
fixed: always in a state of 'Must before a
change" or just after one. This constant'
fluctuation is expensive. Why not net as
if we knw our cv:: minds for more than
10 minutes at a time?
BIG LANDOWNERS
MUST MEND WAYS
Iord Blidisloe Says Government Will
o Take Land Vnless It Is Det-
ter Managed. " I
LONDON, Oct. 0. The big land
owners of England have been told, in
substance, that as a class they have
made a bad mess of the "and business
and that if they did not do better in the
future" the country would take the land
from them and turn them adrift.
The speaker was Lord Bledisloe, him
self a big landowner who, during the
war. helped the government manage the
food supplies of the country. The occa
sion was an address before the British
association.
"The British agricultural landowner
today is on his "trial," Lord Bledsloe as
serted. "Unless he justifies himself as
such, the nationalization of the land is
inevitable. Public opinion will demand
his extinction, and parliament will en-,
dorse the demand.
"Many landowners have been for two
generations nothing more. than rent re
ceivers, and they have possessed neither
the knowledge nor the inclination per
sonally to administer their own estates,
still, less to cultivate them on commer
cial lines for their own and the nation's
benefit.
"So far' as they have been organized
as a class of the community, they have
been organized, not as producers of
wealth, but as defenders of property, and
as such their organization has, in a
highly democratic country, afforded
them but a small and steadily decreasing
measure of security. They have thus
lost their political power because they
had no economic basis. They have, not
wholly without justification, been stig
matized as ignorant, reactionary and
despotic."
