""kidnaping crop8 up again
ln x>no of its most horrible aspects,
the kidnaping racket hut* cropped up
again. Evidently some orlmlnala don't
know when they ure whipped, and
with distorted views of criminally Inwane
mlifds, hud visions of reaping a
harvest of gold, through the kidnapIng
of young Charles Mattaou. The
subsequent death of the young lad,
horribly truglc and diabolically perpetrated,
has re-aroused u nation thut
wus resting on the misapprehension
that kidnapers had learned their lesson.
The life of young Charles cannot
he brought hack, even though his murderer
be upprehended?which ho most
assuredly will he. The loss of young
Charles in the Mutt son home and in
his community will he felt for years
to come. There can he no retribution
to soften the hearts of those close
ones, who have boon made.to suffer
during the days of uncertainty full
well knowing the consequences. However
If the outcome of this kidnaping
case will only serve as one last
warning to those who might he kldnuping-mlndod,
then the life that
young Charles luld down for the
cause, has not altogether been in
vain.
A criminal, with one lota of brains,
certainly must reulize the futility of
it all. One who Is brainless enough
to uttempt It, certainly deserves no
quarter. The deed Is too atrocious
even to suggest proper punishment.-Newberry
Observer.
UNITED STATES INCOME RI8E
OF SEVEN BILLIONS SEEN
Washington. Jan. 11.?Commerce
department officials estimated today
national income would rise to $67,444,0uo,noo
this year $7,000,000,000
over the estimated 1936 total and
about 8 7 per cent of 1929.
I he estimate was based, they said, !
mi the assumption the nation would
not lie ln\ol\ed in a war, hut it look!
present labor disputes into account.
li tlo-se should he quickly ironed!
"'it ami no luriher labor trouble de- j
velops, officials said, the tlgurc might j
reach $7o,no0,OO0.0U0, only $8,000,000,uou
under the 1929 level.
One important factor increasing national
income this year, they said,
may be rising prices and wages.
Preparing final estimates of Income
for last year, commerce department
economists said It would be close to
$00,000,000,000, or $0,500,000,000 over
1035.
Compensation to employees in 1936
is expected to go above $10,000,000,000,
or about $ l.UOO.oOO.OOO over 1935.
A heavy outflow of dividends, wage
increases and bonuses at the end of
1936 had an important influence on
the year's national income, officials
said, but its specific effects have not
yet been appraised
The income computations were
thosy for "national income paid out,"!
or payments by all industry for wages,
dividends and interests, rents and
t oy alties and tlm like..
For the first time mime 1929, national
income produced?the total value
of industry's products?Is expect-j
ed to balance or exceed income paid
out for 1936.
lhls means that business as a!
whole is ' out of the red," and that
any execs,- of income produced over
that paid out may be classified as
"savings "

' QUEENIE, WON BY HARLEY
1 BECOMES NATIONAL MASCOT
Washington, Jan. 19.?Queenle, tt
sleek, little dark brown donkey from
i Vicksburg, Miss., who worked her way
up from pr eel net campaigns, became
ofTlclal mascot today of the Detnoera
tic parly.
Let Into the lobby of a downtown
hotel, crowded with Inaugural week
celebrities, Quecuie was presented to
Postmuster General James A. Farley,
chairman of the national Democratic
(committee, by Lieutenant Governor J.
K. Harloy of South Carolina, who won
her on un election wugor from Lieutenant
Governor J. JJ. Snider, of Mississippi

votes than South Carolina,
"May this donkey forever^symbollze

I* arley said he hoped the oc<'usion
would be an incentive to the Democrats
of Maine and Vermont to vie
us to which will poll the most Democratic
votes in the next presidential
election.
Queen le said nothing, but at the
command of her original owner, J. M.
iluchana, of Vicksburg, she nodded,
bowed and shook hands with the party
chieftain.
Before and after the presentation
an orchestra struck up "Iluppy Days
Are Here Again."
Queenlo appeared unmoved by the
music, but showed a keen Interest in
sugar lumps which Farley fed her.
Vicksburg, Miss., Jan. 19.?Somebody
rattled the skeleton in the family
closet of Queenie, the Democratic
party s now official masoot,. and set
the gossips tongues to wagging today.
"Quoenie ain't no donkey, she's a
pony mule," said her negro attendant.
Her mother was a Shetland pony
and her father a donkey."
With doubt thus raised over Queenfe
a ancestors the question arose
whether she could properly be the
Democratic symbol and not bo alldonkey.
The stir developed while Quoenie,
all diked out as befits an official par- j
ly mascot, was in Washington for the
Inaugural ceremonies tomorrow, she
was formally accepted today by Postmaster
General Farley.
Qucciiie broke into the news when
the lieutenant governor of Mississippi
lost her in an election hot to the lieu-!
tenant governor of South Carolina.
What M all the hurrah about, anyway."
asked one of her admirers here.
"Queenie's a better Democrat than
any braying donkey in the world." j

William Moyers
Gets Five Years
Atlanta, Ga., Jau. 15.?William Moy*
?rn, prominent Atlanta attorney and
forinm chairman of the American Liberty
league in Georgia, tonight waa
convicted of one of the most am aging
robberies in Atlanta history and wuh
sentenced to serve live yearn.
The former Liberty League official
wan convicted of robbing Erneet
Woodruff, Atlanta financier und one
of the founders of the hugp Coca-Cola
corporation, anil T. K. Glenn, bank
president, of $30,000 at pistol-point.
Moyers, who In the late 1920's waa
u prominent attorney at Colorado
Springs, Colo., was expected to appeal
to u higher court.
The defendant, who severed his connection
with the Liberty Leugue following
the campaign, offered no witnesses*
in his behalf, basing his defense
on a statement in which he
claimed the $30,000 represented commissions
due him on $200,000 ho asserted
wus collected froAi Georgia
' business men to defeat President
Roosevelt.
The robbery, perhaps one of the
most sensational staged In Atlanta,
was executed In the sumptuous ofllces
of Woodruff in a downtown of-'
lice building while 20,000 persons
stood outside wutching an office building
flrp which claimed three lives.
Moyers as?ertodly forced his way j
into Woodruff's olTico, covered the
capitalist with a pistol and instructed
him to telephone Glenn, president of!
the Trust Company of Georgia. Wheu
Glenn arrived, Moyers compelled Uim
to procure $30,000 in bills of small
denominations.
With the money in his possession,
the former Liberty League official
sought to force the two financiers to
leuve the building with him. Woodruff
flatly refused.
'Tin an old man, I've lived well
and 1 won't live much longer anyway,"
he told Moyers. "You'll have
to shoot me before I leave."
Glenn finally accompanied Moyers
to the street where the attorney lost
himself in the crowd.
He was captured four days later?
oil November 23?by G-men on a
street only a few yards away from
the office where the robbery was
staged. Virtually all of the $30,000
was found in his possession.
Woodruff and Glenn denied Moyers'
claim that* the $30,000 was due him
in commissions for collections of antiRoosevelt
funds. Woodruff said he
did not believe that large a fund had
been collected in Georgia.
