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. I
Walsh, has severed his couuectlou
with that institution and leaves with j

He had been on th>> police force for
17 vears, as patrolman, detective and

gee and haw
Apparently these obscure yet noisy
expletives Huv?* come down from the
Saxons. In current usuage gee orders
the oxen to the right, haw to
ilu- left apd toward thu driver*. 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. Here again
Lurousae takes issue with the Academy,
which had determined that dla
was to the right and huhuu (or hue)
to the left. He cites the usage lu .

! Baby Born In Well
Escapes Drowning
i .
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,

Dutch Schultz Meets
Death in Gang War
Newark, N. 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.
