THIS EVENING MFUBIiICAN, BBNBSEIIAER, IND.

ISAYS PERSHING UNFIT FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

Congressman John D. Schall, of Minnesota, denounced General John J. Pershing in an address Monday. He declared that the general was seeking the presidency of the United States and was “absolutely unfit for the office.” . ' ‘ “I have felt it my duty to do what I could to thwart his ambitions,” he said. Congressman Schall was the only member of congress to vote against conferring the full rank of general on the overseas commander-in-chief of the American army.“My objections to rewarding Gen. Pershing with a full generalship was not that it would foster militarism, but it would be rewarding an unworthy officer, an un-American, unrepresentative officer.” Just received, some Pathe Phonographs and an excellent selection of the latest records. —J.

STATE SEEKS TO SHOW THAT NEW IS INSANE.

Los Angeles, CaL, Dec. 22. Efforts today to prove that Harry S. New, on trial charged with the murder of his fiancee, Freda Lesser, was insane and that Miss Lesser shortly before the alleged murder jn Topango canyon, near here, July 5, was despondent and expressed the wish to die, marked the opening of the case of the defense. As long agp as 1910 New was known to his associates as “nutty” New, according to a deposition read to the jury. The defense then read numerous depositions in an attempt to show New had been considered mentally unsound for many years. Most of these depositions were from residents of Indianapolis and Oklahoma City. Some of the statements recited that New had brooded considerably over “the unfortunate circumstances of his birth,” had a poor memory and showed a bad temper at times. Mrs. Laura Corder, of Oklahoma City, in her deposition, said New frequently told her he was the son of Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana, and did not have a fair chance in life because of prejudice against him on account of his alleged illegitimate birth. The defendants then was working as a street sweeper, it was said in the deposition. James W. Davenport, Theodore Taylor, Glenn D. Lloyd and Mrs. E. O. Cochran, were among Indianapolis residents who gave depositions as to New’s mental condition. Taylor, who served with New in the Indiana national guard, on the Mexican border in 1916,*. expressed the opinion that New was unsound •of mind because of his alleged sullenness' and because of his fondness for hunting and killing rattlesnakes.

IT HAPPENED IN RENSSELAER.

And I* Happening to Rensselaer People Every Week. The case, told below is not an uncommon thing. * The same occurs frequently and will continue to happen' as long as folks have ,kidneys and overtax the kidneys. Joseph Smith, retired fanner, Van Rensselaer street, Rensselaer, says: “I had weak kidneys for years. My hack 'became stiff and sore and I had to get up and down very carefully, because of the pain. My kidneys often failed to act right and the secretions have been scanty and scalding in passage. I have felt weak and tired. Doan’s Kidney Pills have always given me great relief.” • Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Smith had.

Another attempt to deprive poor nf their few, remaining pleasures.—Salt Lake Citizen.
