(By Wm. Phillip Sims)"
Washington, March 3.—One
year from tomorrow President
Wilson will leave the White
House and resume his life as a
private citizen. His closest
friends say that he is not to be a
candidate for re-election. This
doesn't mean, however, that the
party is to ignore him as leader,
but that candidates for nomina-
tion will throw their hats into
the ring freely as they choose.
Men close to the President are
convinced that he will not make
an official statement .regarding
his own political intentions, nor
come out with anything that
might be taken as an attempt to
name his successor.
According to gossip, Wilson
favors Attorney General Palmer
as the Democratic nominee.
War Offenders Are
Summoned To Trial

Berlin, March 3.—The state
attorney who will conduct the
prosecution of war criminals in
the new supreme court at Leip-
sig, today issued a call for all of-
fenders named in the allied list
to report their home addresses
to the court.
Benson for Board

Washington, March 3.—Pres-
ident Wilson today sent to the
Senate the nomination of Admi-
ral Benson, retired, to be a mem-
ber of the shipping board..
Harding For President |
Campaign in Texas
(By International News Service)
Fort Worth, Texas, March 3.
—Senator Warren G. Harding,
of Ohio, candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Presi-

ters here today. He opened his

Census Enumerator
Overlooks Fallon
Mr. Editor—I write to say
that the census director over-
looked our Fallon or Varela Vo-
ting Precinct entirely. First
days of February after becom-
ing satisfied of the fact, I wrote
Mrs. Roy E. Smith, Hillsboro, of
the oversight and have not heard
a word from her. I don't like
the idea of not being counted. /
Thought I would write you and
see if you could suggest some-
thing. Yours truly,
J. A. Wright.
Senate Cuts 3 Million
Dollars From Bill
(By International News Service)
Washington, March 3.—By a
vote of twenty-seven to thirty-
three, the Senate today adopted
the conference report on the se-
cond deficiency bill, from which
was eliminated appropriations
amounting to three million dol-
lars for repairs to vessels stat-
ioned in navy yards. -v
Check on Drug Stores
And Physicians
Austin, Texas, March 3.—The
recent hearing in Houston, re-
sulting in the permits of six phy-
sicians being suspended and
those of two others being sur-
rendered voluntarily, will be re-
peated in other Texas towns. A
careful check is being made of
the reports turned in by drug
stores and it is quite probable
that within a short time sum-
mons will be issued to several
physicians to appear before the
comptroller and the attorney
general to show cause why their
permits should not be suspend-
ed.
It may be stated that while
there is only suspension for the
first offense there is revocation
for the second. The difference
is that with suspension the phy-
sician may renew his permit af-
ter the lapse of 12 months, but
where a permit is revoked there
will be no others issued to that
particular physician—he has
lost it permanently.
