WHIPPING POST
' MAY COME BACK
Chicago, April 11.?Revival of the
vhipping post, Judge W. M. Geramijl
olday told the committee on law enforcement
of the American Bar asso iation,
would have a great effect on
he reduction of crime. He cited -examples
where flogging tended" to reluce
crime, and presented figures
ihowing the number of murders in the
arge cities. In 1921 his figures showed
hat St. Louis had 426 murders, Philalelphia
346, New York 261, Chicago
!06, Boston 102 and Washington 69.
A speedy trial for criminals was advocated
to reduce crime by Herbert
larley of Detroit. "In the majority
f cases the-criminals are apprenendid
but it is months before they are
fiven a trial and even longer in many
ases before they start paying the
lenal.ty foe. crimes committed," he
aid. "The courts are responsible for
his and were the criminals given a
peedy trial, regardless of the politilan
with whom they are friendly, jusice
would be more efficiently served.
"Newspapers could cooperate with
he courts, but that is the fault of i
udges who are afraid of "the "phwer of j
he preBs. If less crime and nibre contructive
news was printed the effect
n crime, would be large. However, the i
lewspapers are not responsible for
his condition. They are institutions -j
or the purpose of making money and :
hey are giving the public what they <
lemand?the sensational news. <
"The police, judge should- be elimi- <
lated and his power given to the i
udges who have unlimited power. The <
?olice judge is the footstool for poli- ;
icians. For instance, the criminal i
riend of the politician may, after an
ippeal, be released to agan merihce
ociety." j

Washington Comment
It's a very funny world! And there
ire a lot of very funny people in it.
some of them are located in Atlantic
}ity, from which municipality of joy>us
vacationing comes the news that
he superintendent of schools has assembled
his feminine teaching staff
ind warned them, doubtless, with the
gravity due so serious a subject, that
hey must not bob their hair if they
ixpect to retain their jobs as purvey rs
of information to the youth of Atantic
City.
The cogent reason alleged for the
irohibition is that bobbed hair is "not
lignified."
It must be wonderful to be a school
:uperintendent with such a fund of
mowledge, and to set so high a standird
for teachers. Curious people may
vonder what will happen to a teacher
vith hair naturally short, or one who
?as to have it bobbed because of fever,
"'or, of course, if short hair is undiglified
it is undignified, regardless of
he cause of said indignity; unless, inleed,
it is proposed to put an O. K.
abel on natural short hair or short
lair acquired for medicinal reasons.
It would be a matter of some intor;st
to know this official's view upon
;port shoes, sweaters, short skirls, Atantic
City bathing suits, the reading
>f Freud, Sunday movies, and chewng
gum, and his ratiocination regaining
textbooks, training, ability to
each, personal sympathy with chilIren
and standing of classes under the
ion-bobbed hair would certainly be
vortn nearing:

decree witftput further delay. ' 1
Tiirfmohs and Willard we're tried on t
the change; of killing Hosea Q, Mar- ?
tin, Lauren's city policeman, December
14, last, when the two men were in- c
tercepted with a-dargo of whiskey i
near Lisbon church, six miles south 1
?f Laprens, by a paYty of city and c
county officers who were on the look- 1
out for the sum runners. A gun bat" t
lie ensued when the suspects attempt- J
ed to run their. Car around the officers' v
automobile, wjhich had been brought to t
a halt in the-middle of the road. Mar- i
tin was fatally wounded from shots l
fired from the Timmons-Willard car, i
as was sworn to by members of the
party, two of whom testified that Mar- t
tin himself stated on two occasions i
before he died that he had been shot i
by parties in the intercepted machine. I
The tragedy and the trial created t

tour "with Laurens High, and defeated
them by the score of 11 to 9, this being
the second victory over them, as our
boys defeated them here last Tuesd ly
Vaughn and Murphy pitched fo,
Union and both played well. All of
the infield played-good, but the out
field played under the difficulty of thi
wind, which blew strong out there.
There was good batting on Union'.part
throughout the game, Vaughr
making two home-runs, and severa
others did this also.
The Laurens' lads played hard it
an effort to keep victory from the vis
itors, and they also made some goot
hits.
Both teams fought under difficulties
as there was a high wind which con
tinued to blow sand into their face:
and this hindered them very much.
Errors were made on both sides.
Our boys play (Jreenwood High to
day, and we hope that the same an
nouncement can be made for it tomor
row, and that is victory!

which he said, had brought on the fed

. charging conspiracy to monopolize
the coal industry in violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law.
Mr. Daugherty's statement was
made at the conclusion of his investi,
gation here dealing with possibilities
for ending the strike,
i On leaving tonight for Washington,
he declared he was "perfectly
satisfied" and announced he planned
i further conference hearings on the
i situation.
Although the headquarters of the
United Mine Workers of America is

I his conferences to Federal Judge

All conferences were said to rejlate
to the pending Sherman antitrust
cases which some operators
have declared barred the possibility
of any new wage conference with the

BREAK IN LEVEE
DAMAGES PROPERTY
Memphis, April 11.?Flood water
held within bounds along the Mississippi
was taking its toll in southern
Arkansas tonight as a result of a
break?*along White river, which let
in water which ultimately will engulf
upwards of 25 square miles of cultivated
land and dozens of towns and
rice farming settlements, in what is
known as Loconia circle at the confluence
of the White and Mississippi
rivers in Desha county. Thus fur no
loss of life has been reported, but
heavy damage to farm property was
anticipated as a result of the force
with which the flood was driven
through the gap in the embankment
by high winds which prevailed last
night and today.
According to dispatches received
here, the break occurred last night
near the town of Snow Lake, Henrico.
Laconia, Knowlton and Ferguson are
among the towns within the circle over
which the water is spreading.
Reports received over railroad wires
indicated that the water late today
had reached a depth of from five to
eight feet in the flooded area.
Reports from points along the Mississippi
river tonight indicated that
the levees on that waterway, menaced
for nearly a month by high water and
facing a prolongation of the flood as
a result of heavy rains over the northern
watersheds, were intact at all
points with no more serious trouble
developing thus far than wave wash
and minor slides.
Rising stages were reported in the
Mississippi today from New Madrid,
Mo., 1774 miles above Memphis, to St.
Louis, while the Ohio, which empties
nto the Mississippi at Cairo, was
ether falling or stationary. At Memplus
the Mississippi is falling.

now as in 1917. when the public debt
was about $1,000,000,000, Eliot Wadsworth,
assistant secretary of the
treasury, declared in a speech here
tonight.
"This huge debt we must pass on
to the future citizens," he said. "For
this reason it is the intention of financial
leaders of our government to
pay all new debts .from current funds.
over expenses we can not decrease
our public debt of $22,500,000,000
Government expenditures must come
down. Although the Confederate
war is 00 years behind us yet the annual
bill for pensions is $250,000,000.
Only 15 per cent of our public expendilure.s
is for peaceful purposes,
as it were. The remainder, 85 per
cent, goes to pay for debts and activities
based on the war."

the fact that the plant is running full

yards, and this was done with 2.r>0
doms and 10,000 spindles. All of the
machinery was installed under supervision
of Superintendent Hamriek,
and a stay of an hour in the plant
showed that every piece of machinery
was functioning perfectly, not a
thread being broken during that interval.
