Co. t STATE PRESS I I COMMENT J Deserting an Ideal. That bland and beautiful belief In the voice of the people as the voice of God, characteristic of all upllft ers and reformers, has recently sus tained severe shocks. Tho Blmple and chlliillke faith In the unerring w isdom of the multitude has been shaken by recent events. There were tne people of Massa chusetts voting overwhelmingly against providing a congressional mother to keep youth Idle until the Isth birthday and here were the people of Oregon voting against an income tax law guaranteed to cinch the classes and free the masses. As a consequence our own welfare workers shy at submitting the child labor amendment to a referendum to permit legislators em-ape going on record and our political prophets object to letting the voters say whether or not wo can be free of Income tax agitation for a stated Interval. Hilar the changed tunes of the siren voiced champions of the peo- pie nnd arch-baiters of the corpora tions. Ia'I us rite a typical Illustra tion. Here Is Senator Jqseph, best little fighter and bleeder for the dear peepul, of them all, declaring that "with money and propaganda you cnn put over anything on the people," anil therefore objecting to any more referendums. Can BUch things be? It's a very Interesting discovery, but was made by the upliftcra long ago. That Is why we have the bal lot crowded every election with freak proposals. Reformers found out early that propaganda and cam paigning In behalf of any measure with a special appeal could be put over the voiceless and Indifferent majority by a noisy minority as easily as a legislature could be coerced and Intimidated by a bloc or persuasive and threatening lobby-' Ists. Hut It Is poor rule tor reform era that works both ways. Facts of the matter are that peo ple are "led up" on -uplift and wel fare, exasperated by the mulllpl city of sumptuary laws, wearied of passing upon Issues they have not time to study and elected legislat ors to decide, have found that poli tician's promises are intended only to get them to pie-counter, and pol itical cure-alls for economic Ills are fake nost rums, and would welcome any opportunity to escape referend ums on all kinds of legislation for a staled period or years, ror all they get out of It is taxation and regu lation by bureaucracy. As Abe Lincoln said, you can fool some of the people all the time, some of the people part or the time, but you can't tool all the people all the time -and that la the aim nnd object or the uplift and the pater nalistic politicians parading under its banner.

The father, more than 75 years old. worn by the 18 days vigil tried bravely to comfort bis wife :aud Floyd's sister. Ily hiB side stood Andy Lee- Collins of Kb wanee, HI., the elder brother and Marshall and Homer Collins, these younger than Floyd. Nearby stood hundreds of neighbors and In a group the tireless volunteers : who struggled to save Floyd but 1 reached him too late. (AmocUM ma UuH Win.) CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 17. Re vealed but not recovered, the body of Floyd Collins today still was lying In the natural tomb which has been his for more than 17 days. - Without warning, the roof caved in yesterday afternoon and It w-as announced officially that Collins had been found "apparently. dead." Saddened by the realization that their long struggle with the in scrutable forces of nature had failed. Insofar as rescuing Collins alive, the sappers continued to toil fur into the night, timbering and excavating In the eight feet be yond where their lateral struck the original avenue. Collins' feet probably will re main forever In the spot they were pinioned by a falling boulder eight '"ays ago. The perilous task of lindlng the body being accomplish ed, H. T. Carmlchael, In charge of the rescue work was unwilling to further risk the lives of the min ers in removing the boulder. Surgeons went Into the pit early today to attempt to amputate Col lins' feet, but were unable to reach him. The body was almost cover ed with llrt and rock which must be removed , before a medical ex amination can be made. With the consent of the Col lins family, physicians will ampu tate one or both feet, when the hole has been made large enough for physicians to enter. It was announced last night that Governor W. J. Fields had ordered that an autopsy be held on the body by three physicians to de termine the cause of the death and locnte any possible injury end find If there Is any trace of poisoning. Dr. Ilnzletl, Dr. McWllllatns, of Ilrodhead, Ky. , and Dr. W. C. Simmons of Vine Grove were se lected for this purpose. Meantime, tentative arrange ments for the body to He In state In the Cave City high school for two days were announced by T, L. Gnrby, a friend of the family. Four ministers, pastors of churches In thlB region, will con duct the funeral services and the body taken to Mammoth Cave bur ial grounds and laid to rest beside those of his mother and sister. Previously it hnd been an nounced that Leo Collins, father of the victim was considering hav ing the funeral services in crystal cave which Floyd discovered and interment at the cave where Col lins died. Johnny Gerald, one of the out standing engineers In the early rescue efforts will be the first to ro through the victims clothing. In doing so, Gorni'd will abide by the wishes of Lee Collins. "Floyd had a habit of carrying cverilllina lie linn won nun, mi. Collins told Gerald. "He carried his money, deeds and any other , i.,,. 1. 1.,.. I,. ..,,. . .,i i vitni vim to go through his clothing for tiie the first one " It had been Intimated by some ihul Flovrt anil Gerald had not been good friends and by others that he had hindered, rather than helped In the rescue work. Now with Floyd dead. Mr. Col lins look this means of expressing his faith In Gerald by asking that he represent the family. The probable cost of Ihe rescue operations mav never be accur- iiitely estimated. If the tlmo of ithose who volunteered their ser i lees w ere Included, the cost i doubtless would run far Into Ihe thousands of dollars. In addition !to this, equipment, supplies and 'machinery of untold value was dumped on the scene to be used In jany way that It could. Much of It i came from no one knows where, i and a gn at deal of It will never be ! returned to the donors, j Several hundred men participat ed in the rescue work at one time or another, and the names of the outstanding ones alone will make a long list. Interest compelling because of the unusual circumstances attend- 'ant to the accident and the long struggle lo extricate the prisoner. Collins' story attracted and held 'the attention of the entire nation for two weeks. Newspaper men canto tnm-cs of more than a miles to "cover" Ihe story, ami Idav Hfter day the newspapers printed columns of news concern i lug the rescue efforts. CAVE CITY. Ky., Feb. 17. A general suspension of work at i Sand Cave was ordered at R:lft a.

William rtrke ("Skeets") Miller, of Louisville, Ky, a newspaper re porter there, proved himself the outstanding hero of the efforts to tree Floyd Collins from Sand Cava, Cave City, Ky. Miller made many perilous trips to the Imprisoned man, and, being small of stature, was able to do much of the work for releasing Collins. He had suo ceeded In removing ihe rock which trapped Collins whea -forced tu flee because of another cave-in. their first rest In many hours. Considerable progress was made during the night, it was unofficial ly reported. The telegram from Governor Fields, that a detailed examina tion of the body be made, was re ceived by M. K. S. Posey, one of the rescue work leaders. The message directed "that if Floyd Collins is dead when reach ed, have disinterested doctors make a thorough examination of the body for all evidences of foul play. Including poisons." Itescue work has reached a point where experienced miners, however willing to risk their lives, were of but little use In the na tural passage way. The going has become bo rocky, mucky and ex tremely dangerous that only one of the three best cave workers ex pressed a desire to continue the work until Collins was removed. A second veteran cave worker aureed to work until noon whll a third was understood to have rle- dined to enter the passageway again. ' Because nf the hazardous forma tion of the strata there apparently was little chance to timber the na tural crevice. Those miners who timbered the lateral were at a lbss to assist In the work where no timbering could be done, it was T said. Only one crew of experienced .rave men now is available tor i service.

CAVE CITY. Ky.. Feb. 17 I.ee Collins, aged father of Floyd Col lins, tearlully thanked H. T.

He found a telephone, started a rumor and in nair an hour saw the race to the cave. "Nothing to It," he informed the first party to arrive. 'How about a rjde back to town?" How long Collins has been dead, may not be determined exactly ac cording to Dr. Hazlett. "It Is Impossible to tell from an examination of the head alone how lomr Collins has been dead, and even when his body is brought to the surface and a thorough exam - ination Is made- our calculations may be two or three days off." he said, when he emerged from the shaft this morning. "The temperature in the cavern is Ideal to preserve a corpse, ii Collins has been dead less than 24 hours, we perhaps, can tell exact ly, but longer than that It will be guesswork."
