Hazing Is always cowardly, because
the victim Is overpowered by numbers
and taken at disadvantage when he has
no chance of resistance. 1t Is utterly
lawless and brutal because It violates
the sanctity of the victims person and
sub. ects him to gross indignity, to
which no man willingly submits SO long
as he has any chance OF resistance
From whatever standpoint 1t is viewed
hazing is detestable, aud 1t is particu-

whose name doesn't often appear In

man was shrewd enough to get him TO
talk he could write an Interesting story
about the old man. There Is hardly u
doubt that he owns and controls more
soil than any other Individual In Amer

highly valuable land In Nodaway and
Atchison counties, Missouri. He has
10000 or 1900 acres In Nebraska. He
has q big tract. embracing $1,000 or

On a naerYatiye estimate. he already
owns or has leased 10000 acres. and
