Friday, November 1, 1936 THE MILITIA INCIDENT The member* of the stute highway commlsnion do not seem to bo greutly excited over the matter of the machlne-KunnorH and ho far have inude no "rebellious" or "Insurrectory" movements. The big majority of the right-thinking und law abiding people do not uphold the governor In his stand, and the press of the atate with but few exception* do not think well of the?macblne>gun governor. Their editorial* ? are captioned "Why Are Court?", "Pitiful, Comical --IJtttigerouB." "Governor Losos HIh Head," "Delusions of Grandeur," "ContemptouB of Courts," "MachineGun Government," "Doomed For Trouble," "Political {tables," "Huhpending ConHtltutlonal Government" and ho on. "POLITICAL RABIE8" Governor JobiiHtoti appear* to be afflicted with a form of political ra bleu. Unbalanced by delualonB of grandeur, he Ih running amok In a "wild attempt to seize the power that will clothe him with the pomp of autocratic rulershlp. He has scorned and flouted the courth, hun broken the lawH that he Ih nworn to enforce and h&H perverted the conatltutlonal authority granted the chief. executive of the state for uho only In extraordinary einorgouelea, when the very existence of the commonwealth Ih threatened by the luwlena violence of turbulent faction*. The exercise of this power Ih wurrnntod only when the civil uuthorltien ury in danger of overthrow. und courtH have ceased to function. There i? no excuse In law or reason for this military coup to seize control of a department of the government for the purpoHO of augmenting his personal political power ami creating a machine thut will be bis own and not the creature of the public. It Governor Johnston can get away with his forcible seizure of the highway department, then he oan machine-gun the courtH and legislature when they create a state of "insurrection" by refusing to obey the orders of this deluded seeker alter dictatorial power.?Humter Daily Item. HOW FARM YOUTH MADE MONEY A youngster who made 16 pigs grow into $1,016 is top among the nutioti's farm boys. He la 18-yei^r-old Paul l/Ock, of VYashington eounty, Kansas, who was announced an the 1035 Star Farmer of America. Judges picked hint after studying records of farm youths the nation over. Young Deck, now a partner with his father, H. H. Leek, started vocational agriculture work five years ago with It; feeder pigs. At the end of a year his labor income was $88.40. Labor income is the amount of money left for the hoy's time and effort after till expenses have been met. it may be either cash or inventory. The second year. Leek added turbos and chickens. His labor income was $163.54. In each of the next two years his project was enlarged. When graduated from high school last spring, his total labor income was $1,916. The new Star Farmer is going to stirk to farming. "There Is a future in agriculture tor the young fellow who is trained and who watches the coiners." he said "There arc no openings in town. All the jobs appear more than tilled ? much more so than on the farm." I bis week, after over 26 > ears of , .-service as rector of the LplseopHl church in Yorkville, the Itev. T.

Of gee the origin behind ith Saxon mm la quite unknown. The attempt to associate it with a similarly used cry in PreUl'h dla, thu old Italian gio, seems negatived by the fact that those cries have a diametrically opposite j purpose, namely to direct the beust toward the left. Vet Larousse contend h In oppoaition to the Aeudemic I Franchise, that in a great purt of i Franco directs to the right, he finds the origin of the French word in the Celtic, dla in Breton, deheu in Welsh, dehou in Cornish, etc. In the case of haw our beat Fngliah 1 authorities class it ^s.^a vurlunt of whoa, with a special sense of direction. Huch u derivation may find some support In the frequency of the double command gee-haw, which would then mean gee to (lie right und haw, or stop gooiug.

Sanford, Oct. 27. -A lusty, squawlIiik buby, surveying the big world b< I hind lustrous, puzzled eyes, found himself something of a celebrity to day?as much, from u local point of intercut as though lie were a Dlonne j quintuplet. Baby Fruuklin Wood row Jordan I bin mother and father are Demo crats) was born under water'?in a well; and ho owes his life, according to Dr. J, F. Foster of Hunford, to the fact that he didn't begin breathing until aome 20 minutes later, when he wan rescued. <} The amazing Btory of the baby's birth was related today by his mother, Mrs. Alton I j. Jordan, lu the Leu county hospital, to which she was moved last Tuesday after her husband lifted her from the deep well into which she had fallen. The mother, a flaxen-haired slim young woman of 2t> years said she wus in the well, swimming arouud for a while and then clutching to a knot, for 4f> mintuos, and then lost consciousness. She did not know she had a son until she awoke in the county hospitul hours later. "It was only 4& minutes," she suld, ."but It seemed like two hours." Dr. Foster, who attended tire mother and Infant, said they were little the worse for the experience. The child, born a month prematurely, was normal in every respect, Dr. Foster, said, except for a few slight bruises 011 his head. "I went to the well about one o'clock in the afternoon to get a bucket of water" the mother related. "I was feeling line at the time. When I reached over the well, I fainted, and the next thing I remember I was In the well, swimming about. 1 could take two strokes from one end of the well to the other." "I looked up and saw the sky through a small openlug, and realized I had fallen in the well. 1 begau screaming. Finally I found a knot hole in the wall and 1 clung to it. Hut It caved In and I couldn't touch (lie bottom of the well. "Over hi another held my husband was drilling a new well, and there was so much fuss I knew ho couldn't hear my screams. 1 swam about for 111 minutes or more. Finally my father-in-law and my nephew came by and heard my screams. "My husband came and they managed. to tie a rope around me and drag 1110 out, but 1 don't remember It. The next thing 1 remember I was -in the hospital." Dr. Foster said he was called 011 the case and removed the mother and child to the hospital, 13 miles away. The baby weighs eight pounds and nine ounces, and he has a little brother, two years old. ; HOBOES, TRAMPS AND BUMS j Here Is How You Can Differentiate Between Species of Vagrants. To the average man the words hobo. tramp and bum are synonymous I terms, used to designate a type of ! foot-loose, homeless specimen of the I genus hobo They are terms of dero| gation and opprobrium. Not so! Ileforo calling a hobo a I tramp or either man a bum be sure | you say It with a smile. For there : nr(\ very distinct class lines drawn ; among these groups of unskilled and j itinerant workers. A hobo is a hard worker of the migratory type. He is possessed of a keen sense of his own importance and value to the world that would suffer without his service. The wheat Melds of the southwest, the timberlands In the northwest, the fruit lands In various parts of the country could not show a profit without the presence of the hobo at strategic momonts. To displace him iii-llie economic scheme of things would be to keep 011 hand ,woll fed and employed the whole year around, thousands of men whose services are only required a few weeks I or months a year. Another distinction: I The hobo travels on wheels, although the ticket office Is not always a part of his traveling experience. I The tramp, 011 the other hand, ml* | grates according to whim or chanco. j And he walks always. Having noj where in mind to get, he gets there at his leisure. If he works, as he does now and then, It is because of necest sitv and not through any sense of I personal responsibility to society at I large. I11 the mind of the self-respecting hobo, the trump is distinctly an ! inferior. ! The hum is looked down upon and despised, both by the hobo and tramp. The hum travels nowhere, does nothj ing and is nobody. He Is a parasite ! of the city, begging, borrowing, steal, lug, and loafing. i Clip this out and pijste it in your ; book of etiquette. You may need It j sometimes to save yourself from one of those embarrassing moments, , vrnttis the Knickerbocker Press. \Y.

J., Oct, 24.?Dutch Schultz, born Arthur F|<jgu?*V-Holuier 34 ytui? ago, died in a delirium of pain here tonight, across the Hudson river from the New Vork underworld domain lie ruled since prohibition racket* made him u gang overlord. A raging temperature of 107 degrees loosened his lips, tight-closed previously In gungster tradition, and he mumbled in liute tlie name of Charles (Lucky) Lucclano, Humbling racketeer. Police standing at his bedside to record his ravings began an immediate search for Luccalno as the possible killer of Schultz. In another room of the suine hospital Bernard Kosencruutz, SchulU's, chauffeur and principal bodyguard, lay on the brink of death. On morgue j slabs a few blocks away lay the cold j bodies of Leo Frank and Otto Her| man, remaining members of the Schultz high command who were mowed down as they sut drinking and counting their gambling "take" In a Newark bar. Across the broad Hudson in another hospital were Martin Kromper and Sam Cold, Schultz gangsters shot down in a Manhattan burber shop Just off Uroadway two hours after their chief fell. The fusillade of lead which killed Schultz smashed his gung's power over the New York underworld In tho most spectacular gang war since prohibition days. It climaxed u gang war which flared a few weeks after Schultz "beat the rap" in his second Federal trial on income tux charges, and was free to light underworld enemies who sought to usurp his rackets domuin. During the last two months a dozen racketeers were murdered. The juicy stake of which they warred is spoils from gambling and usury which yield more than $1,000,000 a month In New York, formerly enjoyed by the Schultz gang alone.
