This community was shocked last
Tuesday, to learn that Henry Roberts,
one of our best citizens, had been ar
rested in connection with the T. M.
Roberts Supply House robbery. No
one had ever had cause to question
Mr.. Roberts honesty. He had full
charge of the drug department of the
supply house.. He has always stood
high in this community, being
prominent *. P. and we'll connected
with St.. Peters church; owns good
home and has a nice family. Roberts
is accused of being implicated in the
loss of a $50 buggy. He and Sam
Brown, who was arrested at the same
time have retained Mr.. VIM. R. Morris
as their attorney and will doubtless
prove their innocence. Bail was fixed
at one hundred dollars which Roberts
easily furnished; Brown could not Sc
cure the bail.

Special mention should be made Of
the fact that Mr.. Nelson felt perfect
ly satisfied to- leave the matter
though it involved the probable loss
of his home-in the hands of an attOr-
ney of his own race. In making the
selection of Mr. McGhee he was prob
ably to some extent Influenced by the
fact that he and Mr.. McGhee were
members OF a social club-The T.. S.

ship and attachment to- a brother
member as well as his faith in. the
ability of his couns ellor.. Throughout
the trial of the case the lawyers rep
resenting the lienholders combined
their talent and ability to assist each
other in the appeal of the case.
The case was tried before the Hon.
Marshall A.. Spooner Of the fifteenth
judicial district, who was sitting by
appointment as one of the judges of
Hennepin County On last Friday the
Supreme Court handed down an opin-
ion sustaining each contention made
by Counsellor McGhee on the principal
points involved in the case, not only
reversing the decision of the lower
court but ordered judgment entered
in the Supreme Court in accordance
with the contention of Mr.. Nelson's
counsel on, the trial. Such an order
by the Supreme Court is rarely made
and is never made except in cases
where it is clearly apparent that no
other result can be had upon second
trial of the case. In other words that
the prevailing party is clearly shown
to be entitled to a judgment. On the
successful outcome: of; the case both
Mr.. Nelson and Counsellor McGhee are
to be congratulated.

TIE REFTNERY RoNns

1t seems that there has accumulated
in the state school fund awaiting in
vestment the sum of 1928. 600 and it is
constantly increasing It was stated a
few weeks ago that the state school
fund could not purchase the oil refinery
bonds because they did not have the
funds. Now they have the funds to
make the purchase, with some to snare
and if the bonds are to be issued xbv
should not the state school fund take
them, in order that the state will not
have to pay out good money-eight
thousand dollars a year-to spectators
or private individually
Governor Hoch's idea was to offer the
bonds to the public so that thew might
be scattered among the people of the
state. He believed the people would
readily subscribe for them. and if thew
were owned by the people. the people
would be all the more anxious "a Gee
the state refinery a success.
There was merit in the governors
ldea-f 1t had worked out. But the
people would not subscribe for the
bonds. Only eight bids were received
and they all came from speculstors and
banks, most of them outside the s+ate
of Kansas. And every bidder insar+ez

they are purchased by the school fund
that interest viii go to the support of
the schools-it will simply be trans
ferred from one state fund to another,
and the school children of the state
will get the benefit.
The school commissioners have COM
planned in the past that they found it
almost impossible 10 get good invest
ments. Here is chance to buy 100000
of as good bonds as there are in the
United States. A better investment
could not be secured for the school
fund.
If the bonds go to spectators it win
be FIVE years. before the first of them
can be taken up. In the meantime the
state will be accommodating a sinking
fund of s21. 900 a year. If the bonds are
held by private individuals this money
must accumulate for five years and lie
idle in the treasury during that time
before it can be applied to paying off
any of the bonds. If the bonds are
held by the school fund they can be
paid of as fast as the sinking fund
comes in.
Counties, cities. townships, and school
districts are compelled to offer their
bonds to the state school fund, so why
not the state do the same? And why
should not the school fund commission
ers make the investment?

sheriT Killed by a Mob.

An INDUCED and UNPUBLISHED mob, like
spoiled child, never knows. when or where
to stop. The usual operation of a south
ern mob have been in the line of Selling
and Iynching a prisoner in the custody of
the authorities: but there was a depart
ure from that in Senatobia, Miss, recent
~ when a mob undertook to give the pris-
oner his liberty
In carrying out this purpose the mob
found it necessary to shoot to death Sher-
if Hoag, who bravely resisted its assaults.
1t is gratifying to learn in this connec-
ton that Governor Vardaman has de-
clared it to be his intention to have every
oned
The wholesale execution of a couple Of
hundred prominent citizens Of Senatobfa
al at the Sane tine would constitute an
oFiect-lesson for the mob leaders of this
country which would make deep and
lasting impression upon their armOr- plated
sensfbilities. We are not in favor OF cap
ital punishment, but if it is to be main
tafned it could not be applied with more
salutary effect than in such a case as
his.-Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

The orators have had their say. and
the issue is clear The speeches of
Mr.. Bryan and Mayor Dunno, con-
trasted with the address of Judge
Parker. reveal the fact that the an
tagonistic leaders of the Democratic
party are more than ever in conflict.
If any one examined Judge Parker's
speech with curiosity as to the devel-
opment of his political opinions since
the presidential election, he of course
had his curiosity satisfied without
finding the slightest change in the at
titude of the recent candidate. If

An Ingenious Water-Pumn.

The water supply of Los Angeles has
IN the past been received by gravity,
only few higher parts of the city
being supplied by pumping into the
mains. The growth of the city how
ever, has made an additional supply
necessary and pumping plant is to
pc installed IN the southwestern part
OF the city. where wells have been
Dored to water bearing strata lying
90 to 200 feet below the surface.
As these wells are too deep to per-
init OF their operation by pumping en-
glnes on the surface, and as it would
be commercially impracticablet to pump
them by deep well pumps, with long
plunger rods, and, again, too costly
to excavate pumping stations under
ground near the water level, it has
been decided to operate them with
compressed air, which offers the fur
Their advantages Of aerating and cool
ing the water and permitting one cen
trail plant to operate all the wells scat
tered over a half mile stretch.
The system adopted is the air lift
in which compressed air is forced
through one pipe down to the bottom
of the well, where it discharges under
the mouth of another pipe reaching to
the top of the we'll and emptying into
the reservoir. The bubbles of air is
suing from the first pipe enter the
mouth of the second, but do not fill it
completely, as a large amount OF
water is carried in between the bub-
bles.
For this reason the weight of wa
ter within the second pipe is less than
in an equal cross section of the well
exterior to the pipe. The pressure of
the water in the we'll, therefore, is
greater and forces the mixture of air
and water in the pipe to rise constantly,
and as the bubbles of air are contin-
ually supplied at the bottom, this
process goes on without intermission.
the mixture of air and water dis
charging at the top of the well in a
practically constant stream. The air,
as it rises toward the top, expands,
thereby returning the work which was
expended in it's compression, and. as
in expansion the temperature of air is
greatly reduced. it serves at the same
time to cool the Water.-NeW York
Tribune.

a FRANK CONFESSION.

That was certainly a remarkable
statement which Victor Morawetz,
chairman of the Santa Fe executive
committee, made in closing his. testi-
mony before the senate committee on
interstate commerce a few days ago.
1t was simply a frank confession, and
it upset all the sophistry with which
Mr.. Morawetz preceded it in arguing
against the establishment of railroad
rates by the interstate commerce.
Senator Elkins asked him if it
would be well to have the railroad
managers and traffic managers, under
oath, make report every three
months to the government that they
had not violated the law.
1T would not be practical BILE" 70
piled Mr.. Morawetz '"Timid and
honest presidents would not accept
places under these conditions.
Just think what that meansi No
honest man would be president of a
railroad for fear that he might be
compelled to commit perjury in
swearing that he had not violated the
lawl Surely Mr.. Morawetz must
have made his statement too strong.
When one carefully studies NJ.
Morawetz's testimony he seems to
have the idea that the interstate
commerce law is a nullity and that
the railroads do not and cannot obey
it. The interstate commerce law was
made to keep the railroads from dis
eliminating against one shipper or
community in favor of another. and
yet Mr. Morawetz would have us be
leve that the railroads cannot obey
this law.
