State Official Says No Man is
Out of Work Except Through
His Own Fault

81 do not believe that at the pres
ent time any man in this country
need be out of work except by his
own fault" said James w. Helme,
state dairy and food commissioners, in
an editorial in the Grange publication,
the Michigan Patron, Of which he is
editor.
The trouble is" the article con-
tinued, that too many idle men are
looking for soft jobs with big sal
aries. And there are not enough OF
these Jobs to go round.
1.-The Ford company Is said to have
laid off 1000 men during May The
company says the lay-off will not be
for longer than 30 to so days. They
recommend their men to go to work
on the farms. Will they do IL? Not
much. Men who get S. a day for
sweeping floors for nine hours a day
will never accept farm wages and
farm hours. They can afford TO lay
idle for 60 days and they also prefer
TO do It,
There is to the mind OF us farm
ers but one remedy for the farm la
Dor question. People will continue to
drift to the cities until an over-sup-
ply will cheaper labor there. The
withdrawal of labor from the farm
will decrease production and make
higher prices for all farm products.
When the farmer gets enough for his
crops so that we can afford to pay
city wages for farm labor, the men
will return to the country, and not
until then

M. A. c. WILL ASK
FOR MORE MONEY
institution Will Petition Next
Legislature to Impose One
Fifth Mill Tax

EAST LANSING, Mich. June 81
Especial )-Secretary A. NJ Brown, of
the state board OF agriculture, is au-
thority for the statement that. be-
cause of its great growth and devel-
opment during the last two years, the
Michigan Agricultural college will
ask the 1915 legislature for an in
crease in It's appropriation from the
present one-tenth mill tax to one-fifth.
The 1913 legislature passed bill
providing for a one-sixth mill tax for
the NJ. A. c.. but this was knocked
out by the supreme court, Since the
measure was rejected another burden
has been placed on the college by the
enactment of the Lever law which
provides for an annually increasing
appropriation from the federal gov
eminent The state can share In the
government money, however. only by
spending an equal amount, and il is
estimated that, within 10 years, the
fund necessary to meet this amount
will be 100000.
The action OF the courts in throw
ing out the one-sixth mill tax made
1t necessary for the institution TO
drop plans for the construction OF
several much-needed buildings. IL is
said.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga, March
1O.-Thomas Edgar Stripping, the
most famous prisoner I'm Georgia,
serving life sentence for murder
after many years Of freedom, dur
ing which time he raised q family
Of IL children, is slowly dying In
the convict camp here. Lost hope
has broken his heart.
Recently he has received a let
ter from his wife telling him of
the serious illness Of his favorite
daughter, Ruth, and that bills for
food and medicine have reached
more than hundred dollars, and
that she has nothing with which
to pay.
Ruth Stripping was q baby
i'm arms when her father af-
fected his escape from a
Georgia prison, after being
sentenced Tor life. She was
reared to young womanhood
In another state and In HON
orable circumstances. She
had learned to love and was
engaged to be married when
her father was finally recog-
nized and apprehended. She
declined to fulfill her en-
gagement to wed with the
shadow of disgrace hanging
over her family. Since that
time her own health has been
breaking.
1t was in 1897 that Edgar Strip
ling killed Bill Cornet in Chipley,
Ga. He was prompted, he said.
by Ill usage of his sister at Cor
nets hands. Cornet was shot at
night through window of his
home. About a year after the
killing Stripping escaped.
He was Joined at Greensboro,
N. c., by his wife and two babies.
The little family later moved to
Danville, Va, where Stripping
lived for Is years under the name
of r. e. Morris. He eventually
became chief of police. His fam
lily had in the meantime increased
to IL. -s.,
He is now the most hopeless
man In the world. His family is
destitute, his friends have helped
until they can afford aid no long
er. and he is losing his grip on
life.
1.-THE law does not contemplate
such awful punishment as I have
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-03-10

could stand 1t all right but for my
wife and children"
1t Is more than two years since
Stripping was brought to the
Georgia convict camp. Shortly
after he came he was radiant with
hope. Influential friends had
come to his assistance. The police
commission at Danville reelected
him its chief, having absolute con-
fidence In the man who had
served the city so we'll in spite of
his confession. His record in the
original trial, his career as citi-
zen, all weighed we'll in his favor,
but the law is still insisting upon
Its "due"-the rest of his life.
Mrs. Stripping and her children
have moved to Columbia to be
near him, but he is powerless to
help them. Now gaunt poverty
stares them in the face. An At
lanta dealer placed a collection
box in his shop and secured some
money at one time. The little
children are helping out as best
they can.
One of the most thrilling ex-
periences that Stripping went
through as Morris, chief of police,
was the rescue of two women in a
wild runaway. He grabbed the
double team of horses and

TWAS YOUTH WHO
WON ELECTION

CENTRALIA, March 10.-At
the school election In Centralia
Saturday, 1927 votes were cast.
For the three-year term George
Barner was elected director over
0. o. Ort with a majority Of Ill.
J. c. Watson was elected to the
one-year term with no opposition.
The outcome of the election
was surprising in view of the fact
that Mr.. Barner only graduated
from the local high school last
June, 1t being considered before
the election that his age would
stand against him.
