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. Salem Journal.

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

Collins told Gerald. "He carried
his money, deeds and any

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

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.

for two weeks.

The telegram from Governor
Fields, that a detailed examina

The message directed "that if
Floyd Collins is dead when reach

make a thorough examination of
the body for all evidences of foul

Itescue work has reached a
point where experienced miners,

a third was understood to have rle-

Because nf the hazardous forma

was little chance to timber the na
