SENATOR CROWLEY
SEEKS MISSING SON
WROTE PARENTS HE L0NGED
FOR ORANGE GROVES
Boy Objected to Parental Restraint
and Feared His Father Would
Place Him in Reform
School

Senator ]. H Crowley, political
leader of Colorado and wealthy citi-
zen of Rocky Ford, arrived in Los An
geles and called at the police station
yesterday to ask aid in locating his
1S-year-old son, John H. Crowley, who
ran away from his home in September.
The lad was last heard of at Needles
about three weeks ago. He wrote his
parents from that place, stating he
was on his way to the orange groves
and probably would stay awhile IN
Los Angeles. Since then the anxious
parents have not heard from him and
fear some accident has oVertaken him.
Young Crowley was attending high
school in the Colorado town and ran
away from home because he objected
to parental restraint and feared his
father was going to place him in re-
form school.
He went to Albuquerque and worked
there more than a month. During this
time he wrote his parents that he was
doing well. No effort was made to
bring him back and his mother was
contented so long as she knew he was
all right,
The next heard of him he was in
Needles. and after several weeks
passed and they received no word from
him his father decided to come to Cali
fornia to search for the missing lad.
Mrs Crowley is i'll in bed because
of the worry due to suspense. Her
husband was reluctant to leave her in
such condition, but she begged him to
find the boy.
Il do not wish to take him home
against his Wishes" said Senator
/ Crowley, but want to find him and
find out how he lis getting along and
| if he is in good health.
He is fond of travelling and several
times said he would enlist in the navy.
While at Rocky Ford he passed his
vacations working at the melon car
nivals which are held there each year"
The missing boy is described as
being six feet in height, dark brown
hair, hazel eyes. When last seen he
wore a black suit, black felt hat and
low patent leather shoes.

Living Out of Doors.

Bliss Carman, the poet, has for a
theme in his new book of essays "Thc
Use of Out Of Doors" Many poets
have sung of the beauties Of nature in
respect of form and color. They re-
ceive theirinspiration for poetic thought
by living with nature Carman sees
more than something to inspire art in
the wind and the sun and the lashing
rain, "the earth underloot and the
sense of the leaves and the stars over
head" 1t is there out of doors that
I'VE know the keen and simple Joys Of
being alive"
This writer is a good advance agent
for the movement 'back to the land. 4"
The cry of the city man has been that
only in the crowd can they find civiliza-
ton. Carman says that men are mas
tered and undonc by the triumphs of So
called civilization and that its boastcd
IuXuries are not luXuries, but burdens.
Out of doors restores us to ourselves,
and we are victims of fallacy when we
expect to grow in spirit and in mind
with nature shut out of the problem.
And nature cannot be hurried. We
must trust to its deep, slow processes
and give its secret chemistry a chance
to work air and sunlight and water into
the structure of our minds as well as to
weave them into the tissues of our
bodies. Then only do we live as well

Am Fudge!

Laurens has just recently had an clec-
ton to increase the salary of its mayor
from $3.50, which it has been paying up
to this time, to 5000 per year. If the
increase in salary is evidence Of growth

its mayor 5000 for six years. Union

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The South Carolina Democratic con-
vcntion has met and adjourned. Dele
gates were elected to the National con-
VentiOn at Denver and were instructed
to cast their ballots for William Jen-
nings Bryan as the Democratic nomi-
nee for president first, last and all the
time. This, we firmly believed, would
happen, Judging from the representa-
ton sent up by the various counties.
We expected the convention to 90 for
Bryan and for the delegates to be so
instructed. One feature, however, was
unexpected, the fact that the opposi-
tion to Bryan had no voice whatever,
even in the slightest degree.
The absorbing business of the con-
Vcntlon wa' election of delegates,
and it was mere the fight was made.
Clever manipulation and ingenious tao
ties were successful in the election of
some of the delegates. For instance.
the election Of Senator Frank B. Gary
was effected through coupling his name
with that of Senator b. r. Tillman and
submitting them together to the CON
vention. We do not say that Senator
Gary could not have been elected with
out this, but we do say that he cannot
be elected to any State office by the
people: at least he has been defeated
many times. But this is neither here
nor there; it IS all in the great game of
politics.
The matter Of most interest in the
recent convention was the candidacy
and defeat of Editor w. f. Gonzales
of the Columbia State. In another
paragraph we note one cause of his de-
feat the old grudge, namely, the re-
sentiment toward him by the Tillman-
ties for his opposition in past years.
But this, We believe, is only one of the
reasons. During the prolonged news
paper fight between The State and The
News and Courier over instructions Mr..
Gonzales, in way, appealed to Sena-
tor Iillman and his crowd. This fact
undoubtedly turned away some of the
crstwhilc Gonzales and anti-Tillman
mon Gonzales own crowd forsook
him after the appeal to the Tillman
supporters.
still another matter that had some
weight is the claim by some that Mr..
Gonzales is trying to run the State of
South Carolina in so far as the manage
mcnt of its political affairs is con-
ccmcd. AZ to the merits or dement's
of this claim We have nothing to say:
but we think it figured in the EDITORS
defeat.
And there was one other matter
worthy of note. The largest and
strongest vote against Mr.. Gonzales
appeared to come from the territory
whore The News and Courier is espe-
cially strong. The significance of this,
we believe is based somewhat on Mr..
Gonzales appeal to the Tillman ele-
mcnt. The News and Courier pursued
d consistent policy throughout the fight
and its friends repudiated the editor Of
The State although many of them were
Bryanitcs. SO while the convention
was for Bryan it rejected Bryan's
smart persistent advocate

he would discipline any member of his
