Friday, February 14. 1930. j If an example in wanted by any-i body ax to what liquor will do for a| man, he ha* only to turn to the record of the proceeding* in the trial of former Judge John Brady ut Austin, Texas, for the murder of Minn |yO?la Highsmith a few months ago. The undisputed testimony of wife and friends was that up until a few years ago when the liquor habit got the complete muster) of Brady, he was all that a husband, father and citizen ought to be, and thought of a crime of any kind would have never entered hia head. But after he hail begun to drink, and the drink habit slowly entwined him in its deadly coils, hi* moral nature changed completely, and from a faithful and dutiful husband he grew lax about his marital vows, and formed tin- attachment for Miss Highsmith, which led to her murder at his hands, and his complete degradation and downfall, no matter how charitably the jury might la- disposed to \iew tin- . rime, and ascribe the motive. Attorney* for the defense as: the> .st-oVi- I'm their client realized j this fact, and the plea o! one of them as he concluded his impassioned appeal to the jury was dosed with these words: "1 suli.piit into your hands the late of John \V. Brady. I submit with it all lie |ias ever been." Today he is only a blear-eyed hulk of a malt a disgrace to h:s family, and with possibilities of a come-back probably all gone, but <u i> a few year- ago h>- j was otic of th<- leading members < ! the bar ill tin- Male of Texas and man whom hi- friends and neighbors ] held in the very rr.ghc-t regard.

The aj>preltension has continued to increase, inrgely because of the work of Broadcaster Henderson at Shreveport, Louisiana, who is tho most persistent lighter against the chain stores in he South, until now the independent merchants have awakened to the point, where they realize that if they are to stay in business in the face of the 1 hum stores, they must do something I drastic change their methods of do- ! ng bu-iiu-.-s ami they are of a mind to make those dra.-ti changes of j methods quick.

H.?Yesterday H. Hightower had ten whole fingerr.d a theory agout guns. 'Inday, he has only nine and a i.all' lingers and no theory. High1.'wer, a trapper, offered to mvincc a doubting audien.c that he . ould hold hi* finger over the end of a gun, and thereby prevent the bullet leaving the barrel. Picking up a .22 caliber -rifle he put his finger over the end of th" barrel and pulled the trigger. The bullet stopped in the ceiling, after shattering Hightower's finger anil theory. Preaching Against His Practice In the campaign he has been waging against chain stores, the owner and announcer of a radio station in the South has promised, after complaint was made to the authorities, not to use "cuss" words in the future. However, he has made this promise, he explains, in order to preserve harmony so that the fight on the chains might go on and the pub* I c not lose sight of the main issue by his injection of colorful language. Most radio listeners no doubt have thoroughly enjoyed hearing a hit of this campaign from time to time and 1 obably few hi.e be<-n < Tfende 1 by i's invective, "lite real humor of this campaign again** the i hams, h >wevcr. is found not in the Low of -..via ping adjee ives ; pphod to t.v* "cations of the ma.-.. distributors, it iti.the tact that tin 'oroadca-te'' selling p: "ducts of his own to towns and hamlets throughout the country. He is taking money out of these communities even as he thunders against the practice. The moral of the case is that criticism of the chain store system is not always of an unselfish sort. Frequently the retailers who attack the - ystein are only disturbed over their >wn profits and have little solicitude for the interests of their fellow citizens.
