Congressman Bowersock Opposes
Special Session of Legislature.

Congressman Bowersoek. who is
flood sufferer himself to the extent of
$40 600 or so, is opposed to a special SEES
sion Of the legislature to relieve the flood
:. Finch Of the Lawrence Gazette order
ed Governor Bailey to summon the leg
islature forthwith to make an apprOpria-
tom to relieve the food sufferers Gov
ernor Bailey paid no attention to Mr.
Finch, but told the newspapers that he
would call a special session only as
last resort and only after due cOnsidera-
ton Since then the Lawrence editor
has had a terrible time. He mas abused
the governor and abused Topeka. and
charged that all the money which the
governor received for the general Kan
sas relief fund was to be spent in To-
peka alone.
Now his old time friend. Congressman
Bowersock comes out fatty against Mr..
Finch s pet idea. In an interview in the
Lawrence Journal Mr.. BowersOck says.
Il have heard more or less talk about
a special session of the legislature to
consider relief measures presumed to be
made necessary by the late disastrous
flood. I am not familiar with the legal
aspects of some questions that may
arise / do not know what power there
may be vested in the county commits
sioners for rebuilding of bridges and
necessary restoration and sanitary work
in the interests of the public health, etc.
but I do know that an extra session of
the legislature III Kansas DIS Il Itil0 III
stead of affording relief along lines de-
sired, has been delusion and an ex-
pensive sham. and I fear this rule may
not be broken if that body should be
called together under present conditions.
| know that private enterprises and the
private purse of citizens win be severe
ly tested. but we viii recover rapidly
and with real and lasting benefit to the
communities that have suffered if we
work out our own salvation. In Kansas
particularly it has been impossible
when extra sessions have been called to
separate politics from business and per
sOnal ACKNOWLEDGMENT from the public
veal In any event let there be no I'M
due haste before public action, of this
kind is taken by proclamation of the
governor. Let us wait until the cOndi-
tions are more generally known in or
der that we may act calmly and dis
creetly, for / fully believe that when the
water subsidies and our people realize
that those who have been able to sus-
tain themselves in the past Will be able
and willing to do so now and in the
future"

Mary, ssrady,
6be Fearless
Woman Jai1er

# T used to be said that there were no
n women vikings, but a few months
& ago the skeleton of a woman bur
led with her horse and armOr was
found in Norway. The fact that the
armor fitted the woman's skeleton "as
though she had been melted and
poured into it, proved beyond dispute
that there were also women vikings,
tremendous, fearless. full of fight.
The viking matter being settled for
good and all, it remains for the United
States today. twentieth century. to
show a woman who is keeper and
guard of a county pail--a Jail, too.
where characters as desperate as ally
in skins. both white and black. are
prisoned. That woman is Mary Grady,
the official jailer of Talladega county,
Ala. Talk of wOman's weakness and
helplessness and dependence! Great
Mary Grady is 6 feet inches tall and
large and strong in proportion. Maybe
she is the reincarnatisn of that same
tremendous viking lady who was buried
with her horse and ar7uor in Norway
so many centuries ago. AT any rate.
Mary Grady is brave. powerful and
real enough to be anything that mortal
can be. past. present or future.
In TGlladGga county the heroine is
of the Sunny South prints an inter
view with her that ought to be read
aloud at city women's club meetings.
The story would be so refreshing.
The interviewer found that Molly
Grady had had charge of Talladega
Jail six years. ard no prisoner escaped
during her term. She Is deeply in
earnest" and that accounts for much
of her greatness. The way she got her
regular appointment was through frus-
trating an attempted jail delivery.
That is SO good a story 1t must be told
by itself. Molly's brother. wrongfully.
accused, it turned out. was a prisoner
in Talladega Jail. Molly went repeat
eddy to see him. Once the man who
was jailer at the time had to go to
the village on an errand while Molly
was at the prison. She could not get
to her hill home because of storm
that was raging. 1t was after dark
that the jailer started to the village.
Molly had told him she would keep
guard during his absence. The faith
he had In her Is evident, for he left her
with the keys. At any moment she
might have opened her brothers cell
and let him walk out.
Molly stood guard in the night at the
entrance to the prison.. She heard a
grating sound and a crash at the rear
Of the building. She sprang around |
there and saw man just about to de- |
scend to the ground from window.
