'7t5 One o 7ose Things!"
TPHREE days have passed aince the oourt house was broken
into presumably by armed men the court vault smashed
and the contents of scores of ballot boxes destroyed.
A more serious crime against good government, could not
be imagined.
It was not only a crime of violence, involving the destruction
of public property; it was not only an act ot unbridled lawless
ness, but it was aiming a death blow at the very heart of this
government and all popular government the destruction of
the ballot box, ONE effective weapon the people have of secur
ing good government, of PEAGEABLZ protecting their pro
perty and their lives.
A 8 we said when thia crime was first reported if this out-
rage does not awaken the people of this community to the
peril that confronts them, then what in the name of decency
and common sense, CAN I
Fortunately it HAS awakened them, at least thousands.
Every local oivic organization that has met since this outrage
was committed has passed resolutions condemning the forces
that are RESPONSIBLE, demanding immediate ACTION, and
pledging their support to the duly constituted authorities, to
see that the law is enforced, and the guilty parties brought to
justice.
The people of Jacksonville,
and their chamber of commerce
Government offices have
Aaa jmoue calls, expressing indignation and horror, and asking
what they could do about clearing up such a situation.
DUT ONE organization has

of protest against this heinous
WORD expressing indignation;
immediate and drastic action. And this organization, said to
be by far the largest in Jackson county, is known as the Good
Government Congress,
The GOOD Government Congress 1 An organization devoted
to maintenance of law and order, devoted to upholding and
enforcing the law, using the American flag as its sacred symbol,
the constitution of this state, and the United States as its moral
guide, has nothing to say, no action to advise, when every ideal
of "good government" haa been outraged, all respect for law
and order, ground In the dirt, every principle of orderly and
constitutional government, desecrated.
ISN'T this STRANGE I Weknow there are many members of
this organization who are sincere in their desire for better
government in thia community, who honestly wish to advance
good government, and all it means. We aslt, THEM isn't this
strange 1
'Isn't it strange that an organization devoted to good govern
ment, should at such a critical time, take no official action, when
every prinbiple for which that organization STANDS, has been
violated t
Tet three days have passed. During those three days, the
official organ of this congress, the Daily News, has expressed
no indignation at this outrage, has called .for no action.
e e e o
IN fact quite to the contrary. According to this offioial
spokesman' this orime is nothing to get excited about,
nothing to justify another call to "re-establish law and order,"
nothing to particularly concern either this paper, or the mem
bers of its organization, "it is just another strange disappear
ance." . A STRANGE disappearance. That is all. Just another one
of those things. In fact, as far as this paper is EDITORIALLY
concerned, the court house wasn't broken into, the oourt vault
was not smashed, the ballots were not stolen and burned, the
ballot boxes were only "REMOVED." We again quote :
"There are all kinds of strange rumors flying about town,
aa to the ones responsible for removing the ballot boxes from
the vaults of the county court house. So many atrange things
happsn In Jackson county that It is hard to definitely tlx
responsibility."
"Hard to definitely fix responsibility I" Why try to I
"PHE Dahack case is something to fight about for two or three
years, the Bates case is something to make an issue, for
almost as long; oases that Jiave been before three or four grand
juries, oases that even a special
governor, was unable to solve, they are all justification for a
destruotive and incendiary agitation, that has nearly reduced
this community to a shambles.
But when a gang breaks into the court house, destroys bal
lots on the eve of a recount ordered by the court, nullifies by
destruction and force the orderly
government,
That it is just "another one of those strange tilings,"
whore it it so hard to fix responsibility.
In fact, aocordlng to the official spokesman of the congress,
it is oommon talk :
"That the purpose of removing these ballots, was to make It
unnecessary to appear before the supreme court and there ex
plain how the ballots had previously been tampered with."
But isn't that also a trifle strange!
The court had ALREADY ruled- there was no evidence to
sustain the charge the ballots had been tampered with. That
entire accusation had been removed, before the recount was
ordered.
IN other words, this paper tries to make the people of this
oommunity BELIEVE, that certain parties who had secured
what they had been fighting
immediately after thaf victory, proceeded to destroy the evi
dence, essential to the carrying through of that recount!
It tries to make the people believe certain parties cleared
of a crime in court, then committed a far more serious orime,
to cover up the orime they had BEEN ACQUITTED of. Do
you get that. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. The Newa claims

so that the recount couldn't be carried on and SCIIERMER

ANOTHER VIEW BEFORE AND AFTER
A tuberculosis patient in a hospital
writes a Ions tetter describing hi ex
perience, from tbe Deglnnlnf tf the
lUoeaft up to the
present. The let
ter cloeee with
fine afterthought.
"Otre m
the auper
ooneoientloue doctor at all
times In pref-
erenoe to the
care 1 tM one,
even If tbe
former li
mors expen
sive." The patient
says his Illness began with pleurisy
wltb effusion (fluid accumulating In
the chest). He had the cars of "the
best of specialists," and tbe fluid was
repeatedly aspirated from the ohest
The specialists seemed unable to
make a definite diagnosis. But they
were conscientious specialists, and
they finally sent the patient to
distent city to anothei specialist who
they thought might be able to diag
nose the nature of the Illness.
The big city specialist examined
and studied the patient over a period
of ten days. He was puzzled and in
turn sent the patient to a hospital
where he said they would make
closer study.. In the hospital another
specialist was conscientious enough
to admit he was stumped, and this
specialist sent the patient to a place
where they were better equipped to
deal with such cases.
In the last hospital the patient was
given various tests, x-ray examina
tions and what not. As be says
"While these doctors were scratch
ing their heads and trying to dope It
out Nature healed me. All of this
was very expensive and a large part
of the money was spent In following
the advice of doctors who were aim
ply trying to anticipate the possibility
of tuberculosis or perhaps cancev.
However, they have my praise Instead
of condemnation, despite the cost."
Then the patient goes on to tell
the experiences of five other patients
In the same hospital. Bach bad gone
to a physician early In bis Illness
and ritvd received some prescription
and the advice to return if the trou
ble d'dnt' clear up In a few days.
Three of them. Including an athlete,
had hemorrhages before their phy
sicians recognized the disease, or
frankly diagnosed tuberculosis.
From his own experience, as well
as tbe stories of these other pati
ents, the correspondent concludes
that a little more carefulness about
the examination at the first visit to
the physician would Improve the rec
ord of the modern treatment of tu
berculosis. .
There Is some extenuation for the
carelessness of the doctor about mak
ing a thorough examination the first
time the patient comes to his notice.
Many patients positively decline to
submit to any very complete physical
examination then. Others require a
good deal of persuading on the part
of the doctor to go through with such
examination. Perhaps the majority of

To the Editor:
In connection with Mr. Patton's
outline of relief work to be done for
which federal or state funds are pro
vided, and work which can be done
In payment for supplies received at
the commissary, may we suggest:
(1) That the telephone and tele
graph poles within the confines of
the oltles and towns of Jackson coun
ty be painted (not whitewashed)
white from the ground to four to six
feet up, depending upon the contour
of the ground. By concerted ACTION
the utility companies might be per
suaded to supply the materials. It
may be that city oounolls can effect
ordinances AT ONCE requiring this
work be done; also the county oourt
might find it In their power to ex
tend the work.
It Is a psychological fact that peo
ple are INFIjUHNOBD favorably or
unfavorably 87 per cent, through the

public-spirited citizens should get
BUSY on tills NOW. today, to the
end that It may be accomplished.

One day one of their most ardent

lAte happenings in Washington and
st..te legislatures would Indicate a
clear victory for booze. Not If the
Bible forces are true and steadfast.
At once It will be said here and
there that the Bible does not con
demn drinking. It praises those who
totally abstain. Uks the Nazarltes,
Numbers 6, etc.. and tbe Rechabltes,
Jer. 35, etc.- It warns against Indul
gence times without number. But
to set up a law that forbids the mer
chandising of liquor Is surely beyond
the Bible. It may be of interest to
make a brief study of why, neverthe
less, our present day liquor fight is
fundamentally a question of "Bible
or booze." '
It should be remembered that the
Bible drink was almost exclusively
wine, mostly grape,. but other fruits
and palm and even cereals were also
used. Fermentation was the only
process of Its manufacture and It was
In every case absolutely pure. Chem
istry was almost unknown, high pres
sure salesmanship never dreamed of
and the type of politics of which
booze was the hub. In saloon days.
It remained for America to develop.
Yet It Is these things which makes
booze the enemy of all that is de
cent today, and therefore makes it
fundamentally the battle of Bible or
booze.
Just to Jog the memory of those
who remember the old saloon days.
before the war put the saloon out
of business, there was hardly any
pure liquor manufactured anywhere
In the United States, from cham
pagne to "rot gut." The federal gov
ernment finally became interested and
the evidence of adulteration gather
ed against the trade Is Indeed as
tounding. Well do we remember a
statement of the head of the dis
tillers: "When a man buys whiskey
or brandy twenty years old or forty
years old he buys the taste. If we
supply that with chemicals be still
gets what he wants." Some of the
fusel-oil sold to the poor folks trust
hare been the distillations of perdi
tion. It seemed to transform men
Into beasts. Down south It was freely
distributed among the negroes and
each year there were hundreds of
lynchlngs, nearly all because of rape.
It effected the white man In the same
way. Those who Insist that young
people and all else are worse today
better take another whiff ct the
dead skunk of pre-war days. Ho
the red light districts did flourish.
One big reason for the Increased di
vorcee of today is the larger spirit
of grin and bear It of the days gone !
by.
And still today the leopard cannot
change his spots. Return the old
booze days and the traffic will again
befoul everything it touches and the ,
vastly increased chemical abijtty will I
play again Its degrading part.

"I'm Just trying to help the ways

flushed but righteous. "There has
beeen budget padding going on in
these other departments."
"Well, well, that's very Interesting
my boy," said Schoolmaster Wood
ward, wiping his glasses prepartory
to scanning the budget book. "To
what speflcally do you refer,, Mr.
Holman?" he asked, turning . the
pages.
"Look there," said Mr. Holman,
pointing bis " Index finger at the
statement covering the "budget stat
istician" listed In Hanzen's depart

month. And the truth of the matter
Is, he's getting 135." Rufus Holman
grabbed his glasses off and looked
around quickly as though he expect
ed an attack from the rear.
But Henry Hanzen believes fights
are unnecessary, in most cases. He
calmly and painstakingly explained
that he had been In danger of losing
the services of the budget statisti

subject to the approval of the ways
and means committee. The man
hadn't as yet received any 100. It
was merely set down for the consid
eration of the committee making up
the new budget. Under the salary
scale reduction, the $100 would be
reduced to $103 anyway, and, accord
ing to the calm-voiced Hansen, this
man, who couldn't be replaced, was
worth every bit of that.

Must Choose Multitude Men

Before March 4 Far
ley Holds Patronage List
By Francis M. Stephenson
HYDE PARK. N. Y., Feb. 33. (AP)
In the seclusion of the family estate
on the Hudson river, President-elect
Roosevelt is scanning the democratic
list for the multitude of men and
women he must pick to take over key
positions In the government on
March 4.
He has a long list from James A.
Farley, the national chairman who is
supervising patronage. Many names
are becoming definitely fixed In the
lineup.
With his cabinet well In mind, ths
president -elect undoubtedly is con
sulting these officers aa to their im
mediate assistants. Some fairly def
inite guesses already can be made.
Prof. Moley To Place
William Phillips, of Massachusetts,
appears to be a probable choice for
under secretary of state and Professor
Raymond Moley, war debts expert, for
first assistant secretary of state.
in the treasury department, How
ard Bruce of Maryland is regarded aa
the probable under secretary. Arthur
O'Brien of Washington Is In line for
an aaslstant secretaryship there.
Under Postmaster General Farley,
James O'Ma honey of Wyoming and
William H. Howea of South Dakota
are expected to serve as first slid sec
ond assistant respectively.
Nary Aides Rumored
The names of Vincent Astor of New
York and Archibald McNeil of Con
necticut are ?srd most prominently
for assistant secretaries of the navy.
William Kemper of Kansas City is
talked about for assistant secretary
of war.
As right hand men for Henry Wal
lace of Iowa in the agriculture de
partment, the nam of Frank Mur
phy of Minnesota and Henry Morgen-
thau, Jr., of New York stand out In
the discussion.

"Your'a perfectly honest "
"Thanks," said Mr. Holman again.
"But you're impatient. You must
learn patience, my boy. Otherwise,
you're simply heaping trouble upon
your very splendid self." And leaving
