THE JOY WAGONS
CAUG cHUG CHUG

Walt Mason: The auto is a love-
ly cart in which to rip and race:
but if the owners truly smart he'll
make it know it's place. you'll do
all right for leisure hours" he says
in earnest tones, "but l WON'T Let
you by the powers, use all my stock
of bones! If you should interfere
with trade, or keep me from my
biz, I'll put you where the junk is
laid, so help me now, G. Whiz.'' I
know so many who for fun burn up
the country roads, and for that
purpose borrow mon, and mortgage
theeir abodes. They go chug- -chug-
ging everywhere and keep the
highways hot, and little do they
seem to care if school shall keep or
not. And then the sheriff. naughty
gent, comes UP and makes some
spiels, and springs legal docu
ment with large and crimson seols.
The thought of those who waste
their days in cars should cause us
gloom. A thousand thousand dip
py jays are chugging to their
doom. The auto is a servant fine
whose fame will never slump; but
when it's master friend of mime,
twill lead you to the dump.

HAL MANTz A PROGRESS
S|VE YOUNG BARR|STER

On the highway west of Extra,
one day last week could be seen a
footmam apparently footsore and
weary trudging along leisurely as
tho he had an object in view, and
as he was coming toward the rail-
way station 1T was surmised that
that was his objective point. Later,
1t was learned, it was Hal Mantz,
the Mayor of Audubon and he came
to pay his respects to the Mayor of
Extra and few other old friends
before train time to go north.
Hal had business in the country
west of town and he procured a
team for the trip The weather be-
came quite warm which softened
the snow drifts and made travel
ing slow and dangerous.
About three miles west he left
the team and driver to get home
the best they could and he hit the
pike, and came into Extra about an
hour later
Hal is always welcome here and
he was soon in the bosom of his
friends exchanging ideas.
Being full of life and energy he
preferred this mode of locomotior
TO the slow tedious way he was go
ing. He made it win, with an h,oul
or more to spare.

MINISTER'S SKULL CRUSHED.
Rev. w. T. Connor, Of Hampton, Hit on
Head by Road Scraper Handle.

Hampton, Aug. 27-Rev. w. T. Car
ner, pastor Of the Pleasant Ridge
church. southwest of Hampton, was
seriously injured last Tuesday after
noon when the lever of road scraper
struck him in the forehead just above
the right eye and crushed the skull
The bone was pressed so far down that
it caused the eye to protrude. He was
brought to Hampton, where an opera
ton was performed and the bone raised.
Mr.. Garner was working with E. 8.
McCord and Lorenzo Barry on the
roads one-half mile west and one-quar-
ter mile south of the Frank Hinton
farm. The scraper, with which he was
working, struck stone and the sudden
jerk on the machine threw the lever
up SO that it struck Mr.. Garner a vio-
lent blow. The men with him called
aid and he was taken to the F. L. He'd
rick home in this city, where he is be-
ing cared for. While the injury is very
serious, it Is not believed that it will be
fatal.
Mr.. Garner is pastor Of the church,
which has small congregation, and
he very frequently works on the roads
near by and does other odd jobs
around the neighborhood, thus adding
to the small salary paid him by the
church.

Society becomes criminal when u
seeks by violence and the blood of Its
victims to right wrong committed
against 1t by such product Of Its own
neglect. For this class we can not cone
ceive Of execution performing any
function. The hanging Of hundreds oe
thousands OF men, even the massacre
of their young, would not decrease the
crime that springs from the slums ana
the tenements, so long as the slums re-
main under the tolerance Of an intelli.
gent society.
Another evidence that execution il
not effective is afforded in the records
of lynchings and mob violence. Whether
these have occurred in the north or in
the south, they have not had any APP
preciable influence in reducing crime
of the character which aroused public
fury. Lynchings and burnings at the
state are but too common today"

Were Undervalued in Declarations,
Chicago, Aug. 27.-The government
is on the trail of a score of Chicago
various Illinois towns. They are sus-
pected of being in collision with an
European fur exporter to defraud Uncle
Sam of customs duties on expensive fur
garments.
District Attorney Charles F. Clyne
yesterday began an investigation at the
request of New York customs inspect
ors who have been at work on the case
since last September
Shipments of furs totaling 100000
| in value are involved. Customs Off
| Gals believe the furs were greatly un-
dervalued in the declaration and that
the true value will be shown to be be-
tween so and 80 per cent more than the
| figures given by the shipper.
| The furs arrived in the United
States at New York during September
1914. They We're shipped to Chicago
and distributed TO the women import
ers. who are said to pe in possession
now.
The shipper, according to District
Attorney Ciyne's information, is S.
| Unger, of Berlin and Budapest. All the
furs were manufactured garments of
various kinds, every piece work Of
art and OF the most costly skin.
Customs officials believe the mer-
chandise was contracted for by women
who were in Europe prior to the Begin
ming of the war and that all arrange
ments for shipping the goods were
made at that time. Special agents of
! the department Of justice are endeav-
oring 20 locate the women and learn
| the actual value of the garments.
Mr.. Clyne refused to reveal the
names of any of the suspects pending
completion Of the inquiry. The govern
ment fears the women may dispose of
| the garments and cover up necessary
evidence Of the alleged fraud.

Boston, Aug. ga statement ny
former Governor Cole L. Blease, OF
South Carolina, that when mobs are
no longer possible, liberty will be dead,
brought for an instant challenge and
heated debate during the conference OF
governors today.
Governor P. L. Goldsborough of
Maryland, said:
II can not sit silently by and permit
such statements to go unanswered. II
capital punishment be wrong, now
much more so is capital punishment at
the hands of a lpob?"
PAPERS advocating abolition of the
death penalty were read by Governor
w. G. p. Hunt, of Arizona, and Gov
ernor Edward F. Dunno. of Illinois.
Others who favored abolition of the
death penalty were former Governors
Haines, of Maine, and Adams, OF Colo
RADIO.
Governor Richard L. Manning. of
South Carolina. said that when
lynching took place in his state the
county had to pay $4,000 to the family
of the victim.
II am not going to attempt to sup
port my arguments by elaborate quo
tations from statistics, Governor
Dunno said. There are certain fig
ures. however, of the federal census
bureau Of 1910 which show that in
twenty-one Of the states having the
highest number OF hOmicides Per Cap
ita in the population there Is not sin
gle state that has abolished capital
punishment. These twenty-one are
those which have enforced the death
penalty from the time Of their organ
ization.
"Following these twenty-one states
come three states-Illinois, Maryland,
and Kansas-all having the same num-
Der of per capita homicides. OF these
states Kansas has abolished the death
penalty. Illinois and Maryland have re-
tanned it.
Let us now consider the twenty
states which these statistics show, to
have the lowest number Of homicides
per capita. Among these twenty are
all the states but one-Kansas-that
have abolished capital punishment. The
federal statistics, to my mind, show
that capital punishment has failed to
act a. q determent. and that in the
states where It has been abolished there
is a less per capita Of homicides than
in the states where It has been retained.
illinois was disgraced by 651 homi-
cides in 1910, after a century Of ena
forcement Of capital punishment. while
in Wisconsin, where Il had been abol-
ished. the homicides have not been
much over 50 Per cent per capita OF

ROOSEVELT ExoNERATEs WOOD.
Colonel Makes Caustic Reply to Repri-
nand Of Secretary Garrison.

New York, Aug. 27.-Colonel Roose-
velt's reply to Secretary Garrison's
reprimand to General Wood was con-
tanned in a statement. as follows:
Nearly three weeks ago it was an
nounced il the public press, the state
ment being carried prominently in
every big newspaper. that in addition
to President Wilson and Secretary Gar
rison some scores of private citizens
had been asked to go to the PlattSburS
camp where it was expected they
would speak to the men. Among the
names mentioned in addition to my
own were those of former President
Taft. Samuel Gompers and John
Mitchell. 1t is, of course, impossible
that Secretary Garrison can have been
ignorant that we were asked and if he
desired General Wood to notify US in
advance what we were expected to say
or leave unsaid it was clearly his duty
to direct the general accordingly.
When the war department, after
three weeks public notice, made no OBJ
lection to my coming they stopped
themselves from any right to criticise
General Wood because l was coming
or because did not submit my speech
in advance TO the administration for
approval. @
Il am, of course, solely responsible
for that speech. and until Wednesda
General Wood had no more idea than
Secretary Garrison what l was going
to say. In the speech not only did l
never mention the president but l never
mentioned the administration l spoke
purely of the nation-of the people of
the United States. 4t
i spoke Oh the assumption that the
men who paid their expenses in order
to go to this camp were citizens deeply
interested in the welfare of their coun-
try-men who know that the greatest
value of this camp lies not in the
months training to each of the two or
three thousand college students and
business men but in the object lesson
afforded in teaching our people what
this nation should do for all her sons
by teaching them in time of peace how
to do their dunty by the nation in time
Of war
IF the administration had displayed
one-tenth the spirit and energy In hold
ing Germany and Mexico to account
for the murder of American men,
women and children that it is now
displaying in the endeavor to prevent
our people from being taught the need
of preparations to prevent the repeti
ton of such murders in the future, it
would be rendering service to the
people of this country
General Wood issued orders that at
tendance at my speech was not re-
quired of any man; that it was optional
to come or not orders which at once
established the fact that he had no re-
sponsibility for the speech. 1t was de-
livered outside the line of tents, and
one-half the audience was made up Of
men and women from the surrounding
country"
The colonel seemed perturbed at the
idea that his own remarks night reflect
in any way upon the record of General
Wood.
