a rebel and a traitor." (applause.)
"Instead -,pf. being a hero,
George WfiSSlngton must be a reb
el and a 'traitor according to the
British; not when Bill Thompson
is may gpef Chicago!" (applause.)
"As nor Blll tThompson, I -will
follow in the footsteps of the men
who made us what we are, and if
that isn't good enough for the
newspapers they can call me what
they damn please." (applauee.)
"Outwalking the undertaker" i3
the task which Clarence H
(Casey) Jones, Boy Scout, of Bur
lington, Skag t county, Washing
ton, has set for himself, and to
date he has led that funereal in
dividual a 30.000 .mile chase in
' the last three years. Friday night
he lodged in Salem, Jim three
" days out on his present venture,
which he expects will take him
around the world. He had exactly
25 cents in his possession when he
visited The Statesman offfice, but
that is one of the least of his
troubles. I
"Casey" Jones father died of;
tuberculosis at the age of 30, and
the son showed symptoms of the
disease three years ago! When he
started out on his first long hike,
he was unable to climb a flight of
stairs without becoming exhaust-,
ed. Health came back gradually;
he built himself up from 110
pounds to 206.
Then, while stopping at home
for a time, the idle gossip of
neighbors drove him to work,
against the advice of his physic
ian, and he lost 75 pounds. Today
he is back to 147, after another
trip which took him across 35
states.
Hiking alone in 4 3 states, as
well as Into Canada and through
three Mexican states, and earning
all of his way as he goes, is a task
that might daunt many a youth,
but young Jones finds much in his
travels to interest him. He has
collected the autographs of the
governors of many states, and also
those of people even more noted:
Governor Al Smith, Lnther Bur
lk. Bill Hart, General E. F.
i frey, Indian fighter; Chief
Standing Bear, of the -Sioux; Da
kota Clad Jones. Jack Dempsey,
Clfvernor Hartley -of Washington,
Miriam (Ma) Ferguson, - Nellie
Tayloe Ross, once woman gover
nor of Wyoming; Joseph us Dan
iels, former secretary of the navy;
Queen Marie of Koumania, Prince
W'iliam of Sweden, John Philip
Sousa, rnd many others. Caey"
was in Seattle on Col. Charles
the "Lon Eagle;" but seeing an
"autograph crowd" approaching.
Lindy decided not to set a danger
ous precedent.
Jones called on Governor Pat
terson Saturday morning, and then
contijgvd on his way south to San
Diefco and then east. His note
book also contains h'-s own draw
ings of many of the famous people
he has met.

business if we don't double Tole
do's business then Bill "Thompson
doesn't know his business, my
friends (applause)."
"I am an American and believe
