B. Morehead Hon. Wm/ Henry Jones, Senator Perkins Tom Johnson Secretary Taft If Jacob Kills, who nominates Mr. Roosevelt for a third term, finds a bomb in his mail, some morning. Vise President Fairbanks, Secretaries, Root, Shaw and Taft should hold themselves --- to prove alibis. Much as he admires Mr. Roosevelt, Jacob Bils is to broad minded that he admits Washington and Lincoln to membership in the same class with his friend the President. Castro Henry Watterson Column 2 If the Editor of every paper in the central west will republish these lines there is no question but what Dr. S. L. Byers of Seeville, Ind., will recover his little son who was stolen from his home one year ago last May 4th. Byers has spent his entire resources in search of his child and unless the big hearted members of the press come to his assistance his son will grow up an outlaw and an outcast among the lowest people of the earth. It is a cause that should appeal to everyone and no father reading these lines can do so without a quickening of the heart and a sympathetic throb. It is believed that if this article is reprinted in the newspapers it will form an endless chain that will uncover the lost boy’s concealment and return him to his distracted parents. In doing this the profession of journalism will be fulfilling one of its highest -----. Publishers whose distributions ---- the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi valleys are especially requested to reproduce this story of the lost child as Dr. Byers believes the boy is now on some boat waiting to take the road in the Spring. There is a reward of $500 awaiting any information that will lead to the boy’s recovery. No questions asked, and if the abductor himself would deliver the boy to his parents he would not be molested. The bereaved parents are heart broken with grief and want only their child. If each journal will reprint these lines, they will travel to every exchange table in the United States and bring back to a wretched home a child who is now no doubt suffering with cold, unfed and wretched to a degree. Think of what your own feelings would be under similar circumstances! This appeal is indicted originally by a publisher who saw Dr. Byers only once, has no personal interest in his quest, other than the bond of sympathy that makes the world akin, and is inspired from the ballet that the lost boy can only be found through the united effort of the country press of which he is proud to be a member. His recovery will be a triumph in advertisement and no editor whose heart is placed right will refuse this appeal. Remember, It may be your child next! The following is a description of the lost boy: DESCRIPTION Richmond Byers Dr. E. W. Hall, John Snyder Dr. E. W. Hall, W. T. Kittinger Kuhlman Co. Chas. L. Neel, J. A. Tanner Column 3. 4 & 5 J. A.

After Speck’s name was sent to the Senate charges were filed against him with the Senate Committee on Post offices and Post Roads. McKinzie Moss came to Washington to prosecute the case against Speck and William Henry Jones came to defend him. The charges never have been made public, but it is known that they relate largely to alleged personal habits of Mr. Speck. One specific accusation is that he was under the influence of liquor at a certain date. Senator Speck acting as the subcommittee to which the case was referred has decided in favor of Speck. There is every reason to believe he will be confirmed at an early date. Castro Column 6 T. T. Rone Wm. Harrison, M. A. President Dr. Otto
