THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1922.
Forty-Jive years ugo last month i
Thomas A. Edisa^ had what was |
called a "crazy idea." He was
working on a machine for record- !
ing telegrums, to guin speed. He i
began working as a telegraph op" I
era tor and noticed that a sound
could fcft recorded and reproduced.
From this was born the pho
uograph and all the talking machines.
Don't neglect youP "crazy"
ideas. At any rate, don't let i
- other people decide for you
whether they?nrc crazy oiv not.
A genuine sensation \yus caused |
in England the other day when ;
King Geoige appeared at one of i
the leading race courses wearing j
a ueroy hat instead of the customary
high silk one. This set n
new style for Englishmen and the
newspapers have given the incident
as great prominence as if it
were quite an important event in
English history. In this country
the president of the United States
iuay?wear any kind of hat that
he pleasqff"and nobody cares. It
is doubtful if one out of ton men
would remember an hour later
what kind of hat the president
?. had on.
A strike of Arabs through Palestine
and the countries uliout
the River Jordan is reported, in,
protest against the terms of the
British mandate over Palestine.
According to press dispatches,
the strike is gencrul and although
order has been maintained
'thus far, "the merest spark way
set the country ablaze." It is i
easy to vizualize the Arab on the !
warpath, as the saying goes, but j
not easy to "see" him on strike^
Arabs and work don't seem to go
together. What have the Arabs
quit doing t Their main occupation
is traversing the desert on
camels. For that matter, how j
could the beggars enforce, their '
demands by striking?
Human meanness often takes!
strange forms, but for sheer de- j
generaey nothing meaner has
come under &ur observation than
the 4tjoke" played upon a little
boy in Washington city the other 1
day by a man who. fortunatelv '
for himself, is unknown. Passing i
the child on u-road in the suburbs
he halted the car he was driving
and accosting the boy handed him
a piece of candy and told hiiu to ;
bite It and he would get more. !
The little fellow did as lie was i
told and the thing exploded in
his mouth and inflicted u shock-!
ing wound and probably impaired
his speech permanently. The man, j
. with a laugh, drove away. Such
an act is beyond understanding. |
' It may be accounted for only on
The ground of some sort of insan-!
ity. But-in any event such a man j
' should not be at liberty, for he '
probably will do other things rff ;
the Mine nature if he gets the j
ehanee. No punishment is quite ;
adequate fhr such an atrocity as
this.
A brutal crime frequently attracts
your attention in the newspapers.
It is an atroeious murder
or a fiendish assault. You find
it hard to,understand this sort of
crime,, for it is the work of a
fiend. You conclude that a madJ
' V ' .
p ' ?! . "t ' ?
man did it. Later the criminal is '
arrested and the news goes out
that he is a moron. A moron is a
person whose intellectual development
proceeds normally up to
the age of eight or nine years. It ;
i hen stops and never exceeds that
cf a child of 12 years. Check up !
t2ie past and you realize that, you j
have met many morons, grownups
with the mentality of children,
people who hue been going along
placidly through life without i
committing crime. There is an
old saying that every man is a.fool
outside his own business. One
meets with great success, and then
he is a genius, a super-intellect, in
his line. Talk to him about im-!
portuut outside" matters which
are not connected with his own
vocation and you find that he is :
a genius on one thing and a moron
on others. The reverse of
this is found in the juck-of-allundes
and master of none. He is j
not a moron in any particular
branch of mentality. He knows a '
smattering of many things, but
lie docs not know very much ;
about any one tiling.
A correspondent of the t'oluin- '
bbia State suggests that people ;
begin to pray lor the defeat next j
Tuesday of former Governor-Cole
I.. Blease. The trouble is that
most people have all they can do
ic pray for themselves.
How "Oil Shooters" Work.
in Oklahoma and other districts
where there are oil wells,
the "oil shooter" is a person of
great importance, especially when
u well is opened and sometimes
in the renewing of a flow from
wells that have become clogged
or partly exhausted. For this
last ease nitroglycerine is often
exploded at the bottom of the
veil, and the man who takes this
dangerous product from one well
tit liiintliar is: iilli-il . ? "siuinl..!'
ile carries his explosive ill a !
wagon. A square box under the
scut is carefuuy padded and w hen
it has been solidly filled with
cans of expiosive he fastens on
the cover and drives slowly to
the well which he is going to
"shoot." lie usually has troni
80 to liiO quarts ?f explosive in
the wagon.
When the "shooter" reaches
the well that is going to be treated
he places long lubes within
ilie easing of the well and pours
I lie nitroglycerin carefully into ;
theni. This well may be 1.500 j
tret deep and is seldom less than |
i.UUO. When one of the tubes is!
filled, it is lowered with the ut- j
most care to the bottom pf the ;
well. This operation is repeated
initil the shooter is satisfied that
tne load is. heavy enough to accomplish
the purpose. When all
is ready a bar of iron is dropped
into the well. The instant it
leaves Ins hands the "shooter"
t.kes to his heels, seeking a place j
of safety.
The earth trembles, there is a j
crash, followed by a snap, a niuff
ed Bound arises and,. becomes 1
louder and louder until a column I
of oil and water shoots from 75
to 300 feet into the air: When
this subsides the well is in operation.
The " shooter'V receives his
fee and drives away.
CARD TO THE VOTERS.
To the Democrats of YorkCouuty : i
i am upproaching you in this
method because there is no .other
way available to me at this time.
As you ure aware, 1 am a candicMfe
for the otlice of County
Treasurer for the term beginning
with the expiration of the term '
of Mr. II. E. Neil on July 1- of
next year, or as soon thereafter
as Mr. Neil can be checked out'
of office, probubly in August or
September.
1 wus late in entering the race
because of circumstances with
which most readers of this are
familiar, and except for which
circumstances 1 pould not have
entered the race at all.
Being thoroughly familiar with
the complicated responsibilities
of the position, 1 was reluctant to
enter,- but finsolly yeilded to the
persuasion of s" numerous fnends!
and well-wishers, who insist that !
my long experience in the office, j
and my wide acquaintance with
the many good people with whom '
I Eave come in. contact during
tliat experience, would make my
services especially 'useful and
valuable to' the fiscal affairs of

I have no doubt of tny ability i
to fill the position, and since I ;
have entered, 1 naturally want to i
win; so to that end I want to ask
for the help of every friend 4
have who feels that he or sh^yi^

candidates.

on which they h ?.ve been disclaEg- f
ed heretofore', most readers of this
are in position to judge for them- j
selves, and others will have no j
difficulty in finding out by tuak- I
ing inguiry ot th m? who are :n a |
position to know.
If it were so that 1 could I |
would be triad to talk thi$ matter j
over with each of you in person;
but as this is uot practicable 1 can j
only leave ihe ease with you. If I
you see proper to give me the j
recommendation such an evidence
of your confidence and esteem
will make me the proudest Wpman
in the State; but if, on the
other hand, you cannot see your
way clear to favor me with this
high honor, 1 shall continue to
consider myself rich in the memory
of the courteous considerate
n that you have always been
according me heretofore.
