No Room in Navy for Jailbirds.

A circuit Judge at Portland, Ore,
paroled a young man convicted of
theft, on condition that the prisoner
enlist in the United States Navy. The
recruiting officer very promptly re-
sented the action of the court, in a
letter, in which the officer declared
that the navy did serve as penal in
stitution. The story goes on to say
that the Judge replied in "a caustic
vein," criticising the youthful en-
thusiasm" of the officer and sent the
correspondence to the Navy Depart
ment at Washington with complaint
against the recruiting officer.
There is shock coming to the
caustic Judge, when he received the
reply of the Navy Department. The
army and navy will not accept as re-
cruits any man with the slightest
criminal record. All applicants must
give references and a painstaking in
vestigation follows. The recruiting
officers criticism of the Judge was
justified and the court, may have an
opportunity to commit the entire navy
department to prison for contempt of
court, before the incident is marked
closed. And when it is, the court
will know that the highest standard
still is maintained in the personnel Of
the navy and that there is no room in
it for jailbirds. st. Louis Star.

SUPPORT OF GRAVES
GROWS NATION WIDE.
Letters and kilograms Indicate Leaders
in All Parties Favor His
Appointment.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July IA
vigorous, comprehensive, country.
wide campaign was inaugurated here
today by friends of Judge W. W.
Graves for his appointment to, the
bench of the Supreme Court of the
United States to succeed the late
Horace H. Lurton. 80.
Governors, State officials, Judges
of the Supreme Court and prominent
lawyers and citizens of neighboring
states, especially in the Mississippi
Valley and the West, will be asked to
join in support of the Missouri iurist.
II is a matter of general comment
here that there was never anything
approaching the unanimity of the sup
port that is developing for Judge
Graves in Missouri. 1t is not confined
to party, although Judge Graves is
recognized everywhere as a persist
ent and most consistent Democrat,
but above this he is recognized also
as one of the ablest Judges that ever
sat on the bench of the Missouri Su-
preme Court, with pronounced pro-
gressive views on all public matters.
The letter written by Chief Justice
Henry Lamm of the Supreme Court,
Republican, to President Wilson is
indicative Of the sentiments and feel
ings of those ordinarily opposed to
Judge Graves in political way. No
finer tribute was ever paid to the
character and ability of one Missouri
ian by another than was found in
Judge Lamm's letter urging Presi-
dent Wilson to appoint Judge Graves.
Friends are pointing out that with
but two of the eight members of the
court as at present constituted, from
west of the Mississippi River, the ap-
pointment logically must come from
this section. Missouri, important in
the matter of new questions in litiga-
tion arising from changed industrial
and business conditions, has never
had member of the court, and now
offers a man for the appointment
whose qualifications are ideal.
The campaign inaugurated today
will be active and systematic and will
be prosecuted in all directions during
the few weeks before the appointment
is considered by President. Wilson.
Those supporting Judge Graves
represent every element of the party
to which he belongs as well as the
rank and file of all other parties.
This is indicated by the letters and
kilograms constantly being received
in jefferson City.
AT the proper time," said Gov.

tions that ever went to Washington to

Death of Frank VOris.

Frank Voris, an old citizen who has
resided just south of town many
years, was stricken with paralysis
last week and died Friday morning.
He had been about town as usual and
his sudden death was surprise to
our people.
He was born in Waterloo, ILL.,, July
20, 1887, and came to Bates county in
1868 where he has continuously re-
sided since. During the Civil war he
served his country in the 49th Illinois
Infantry.
He leaves widow and six children
to mourn his death: Elmer and Ida
of Butler; Sidney j., of Kansas City;
Mrs. P. w. Merdith of Oregon City,
Oregon; Mrs. R. G. Matheny of Wes-
ton, Ohio; and Clyde Voris.
Some years ago, Mr.. Voris was SER
iously injured in his right leg by a
log rolling upon him while cutting
timber, from which he never fully
recovered. He has long been con-
nected with the Missouri State Bank
and at the time of his death was one
Of its directors. Funeral services,

WHO IS THE GUILTY MAN?

WHO IS THE GUILTY MAN!
A Lesson Taught by Hog Cholera
Outbreak in Pettis County.
Cd. F. Luckey in Mo. Ruralist.)
Some interesting and instructive
things have occurred in the work OF
eradicating hog cholera in Pettis coun-
ty, Missouri. 1t seemed, a few weeks
ago, that the last diseased lot of hogs
had been rounded up and cared for
but there came an unexpected call for
help. Investigation showed there
had been no hog cholera within at
least six miles. The owner had been
to Kansas City to buy cattle and while
there tramped around the stock yards
and through the hog pens where hog
cholera infection always is abundant.
The cattle he bought were not shipped
home so the outbreak of hog cholera
among his hogs Is days later could
not have been carried by them. It
must therefore be attributed to infec-
ton which this man carried from the
stock yards on his feet. The hogs
were vaccinated. He lost two before
and one after vaccination.
Birds Introduce Cholera
In another case, farmer owning a
lot Of hogs lived some 'six or. seven,
miles from where any cholera had
been for several months. He had a
mule die of collie and dragged the car
cass out in the field where it was
feasted upon by his hogs and the buzz
yards. He found two of his hogs
sick 20 days later and called for help.
The hogs were vaccinated and none
were lost thereafter. Buzzards or
crows evidently introduced the cholera
in this case.
1t often is possible to decide with
reasonable certainty just where the
infection that causes heavy losses of
hogs comes from.
These figures gathered by the fed
eral officials in Pettis county will give
some idea about how cholera spreads.
There were $50 diseased herds in
vestigated. 1t was found that the
disease was carried to 1926 of these
by visiting and exchanging labor.
Sick hogs on adjoining farms are
charged with injecting 16 herds.
Dogs have 25 outbreaks to their dis
credit. Twenty-Five outbreaks were
due to putting hogs on infected prem
ises. Fifteen outbreaks were due to
sick hogs escaping and mixing with
those that were healthy. Birds have
caused cholera in 1O4 herds. Con-
taminated streams infected 81 herds,
and the disease was introduced into
SO by the purchase of new stock.
The state veterinarian is invested
with authority to quarantine sick
hogs, infected pens or pastures and
to require the burning of carcasses.
It happens that the office at present
has no funds for performing these
duties. Il
/ Disease Can Be Controlled
/ This is not saying that hog cholera
can not be controlled. The work in
Pettis county has demonstrated that
it can be Controlled. The fact that

ours in 90 many different ways indi-
Gates that the State needs not only an
lorpanization for the. control Of hog
cholera, but . well-provided, quick

ease spreads over large areas.

TRADE BOARD BILL
RIDDLED IN SENATE
Reed Calls Measure UncOnstitu-
tional in Granting Ex-
traordinary Powers.

wAsHiNdroN, June 25.-The Fshersl
Trade Commission bill, the nrst OF tho
Administration antitrust bills to be re-
ported to the Senate, was made the I'm
finished business OF the Senate to-day.
Senator Newlands, following up a notice
he gave yesterday, made the motion and
It was agreed to without serious obstruc-
ton. Then debate ensued that carried
the bill we'll along to the hour OF ad-
Journment.
The debate showed that the Federal
Trade Commission bill. against which
there has been less declaiming than any
In the Senate apparently as the others.
The Republicans were not the only ones
to attack 1t. Senator Borah and Senator
Smoot picked some flaws in 1t. burt 1t re-
mained for Senator Reed OF Missouri to
perforate the bill.
Senator Reed declared that the fifth
section Of the bill was NOT only objec-
tionable because OF the extraordinary
powers conferred upon the commission,
but probably unconstitutional. The SEN
a,or from Missouri called attention 10 the

He asked Senator Newlands TO define
what unfair trade meant
That Senator did not agree with SEN
ator Cummins. another member of the
committee that reported the bill. as to
what the words meant. Senator Reed
asked II unfair trade" was to be what
conference of labor men in back room
might pronounce II to be. He asked

preme Court decisions limiting the power
OF railway commissions to show that
they could not exercise legislative power.
The Democrats seemed to be worried over
the attitude OF the Senator from Mis-
souri,

day. II Is likely that the bill will be

 DEVELOPS AT N. E. MINES
Sinking is Still Being Followed at Properties Near Metcalf-ElectricaT Power Soon to be Supplied.

The Detroit Copper Mining com pany is still steadily pursuing the development of the New England properties of the company near Met calf. Sinking is still being followed a depth of one hundred and fifty feet being now reached.
 Plans are made for the using of electrical power there for the develop ment work, a power line which some months since was begun at Mo renci from the power houses of which the current will be obtained, is al- most completed. Upon the current reaching the mines, all machinery will be operated by this means, and development will thereby be acceler- ated.
 The improvements of the D. C. company regarding the installation of new and modern methods and changes in their concentrator and smelter here are meeting with the anticipated stais- faction, although these changes in their entirety have not been complet- ed.

STOLEN SWEETS WERE
 NOT LONG ENJOYED
Patty's Assistant at Morenci is Res ponsible for Mexican's Short Enjoy ment of Stolen Horse.

Grief, with rapidity, camee to the Mexican, by name Francisco Varela, of the Eagle Creek country, who was accused late last week of the theft of a horse belonging to another Mex ican, and who was arrested by Depu- ty Hoffman in the early hours of the night of the day on which the alleged theft occurred.
 Imm ediately after securing the ami nal, the Mexican hied to Metcalf, the supposition being that his intentions included hiding in the sections sur rounding. Almost at the time of his departure from the scene of the charged theft, Officer Hoffman of Mo- renci was notified, and gave chase, with success to himself and sorrow to Varela, who was found by Hoffman near Metcalf in the direction of which he was riding fast when captured.
 He was brought to the Morenci jail, and lodged for safe keeping, he there sharing the company of about twenty compatriots. His trial was held on Thursday, States Attorney Horton coming up from Clifton to assist in the prosecution.
 Varela is supposed to have had an accomplice in the person of the Mex ican who at about the time of the missing of the horse, took young woman from her husbands side, and hurried to the retreats of the Coron- ado mountains.

 The church as completed is now in use by the communicantS, regular ser vices being held there. The organ alone of all the furnishings, escaped destruction at the time of the two eX- plosions, and will not be replaced by another. This is placed in the galler- ies reserved for the choir, above the front of the building. The old altar while practically ruined as result of the two dynamitings, is still in use, it being repaired.
 The church at Morenci is in charge of Rev.
