ally selected the Saturday before
Christmas on which to operate, ne won
his picturesque appellation.
Mr.. McCauley, who was arrested on
December 20 last in ST. Louis, has
spent $4,000 to clear his name, and
the worry and disgrace attached to has
arrest have partially wrecked his once
vigorous physique. according to George
Gordon Battle, his counsel.

the trail of christmas" Keough for
several years, but never succeeded IN
capturing him.

Big Falling Off
In Registration
Figures Is Shown
Total for Two Days 1924
Below Those When Mitchell
Was Elected

New York yesterday, the second day
of registration, displayed even a more
pronounced lack of interest in the APP
preaching municipal election than on
Monday, the first day, if the figure, are
to be taken as an index. Monday was
approximately $4,000 behind the regis
tration for the first day year ago.
Yesterdays figures were approx
mately 10000 lower than those of Mon
day and were, in rough figures. $4,000
behind the second days figures of a
year ago.
The total for the first two days OF
this year is 1929 lower than that OF
1913. the year in which Mayor Mitchell
defeated Edward +. Mccall, the Tam
many candidate. Approximately &c.,
600 voters who registered for the Pres
ii ntial election last year IN the first
two days set aside for that purpose
have failed thus far To secure the right
to cast a vote in the coming election.
Comparison Hard to Make
A clearly drawn comparison between
the registration for the first two days
of this year and the first two days OF
1918 is hardly conclusive, for in 1913
there were only four days of regis
tration as against six days this year.
The knowledge that they had only four
days in which to register had ten
dency TO bring out the voters consid-
erably earlier than this year, when it
is known there are six days in which
to register.
In 1913, too, the polls were open from
early morning until after nightfsll.
This year the registration booths are
open only from $3.50 p. NJ. until 1890
p. m. To this political leaders ascribe
another cause for the falling off Of the
registration. pointing out that there
are hundreds of men who could be re-
corded more conveniently during the
day than at night.
Many Voters Absent at Camp
Still another reason advanced is the
absence at Yaphank of the large num-
Der Of men who were subject to the
selective draft act. A large percentage
Of the $4,000 of New York's quota are
now at Camp Upton. These men will
have the right 70 vote without being
formally registered as their right to
citizenship and justice of their claim
TO New York City residence have been
passed on by the local exemption
boards.
Conditions last year are identical
with those of this year. The hours of
registration were the same and the
polls were open the same number of
days

thought there was nothing in it,.

w. Garcia Burr left Columbia Friday
for Cheyenne. Wyo., to continue his
travels around the world. Mr.. Burr
was born in Santiago, Chile, and still
claims that place as his home, al
though he has lived in nearly every
country and visited practically every
land.
For the last two months Mr.. Burr has
been in Columbia studying agricul-
tural conditions and making a study
of the stock here. He has been
working in this connection with Prof.
E. A. Trowbridge of the Agricultural
College. The pet ambition of Mr..
Burr is to find type of stallion that
will breed with the native Chilean
stock to produce larger and more
virile breed of horse.
Mr.. Burr has travelled over the
eastern and central portions of the
United States and visited all the
larger stables in these sections. He
believes that Miss Loula Long has
the best horses of any that he has
seen in this country and that her sta
bles at Longview Farm, near Kansas
City, surpass even the famous Ken
lucky stables. He sends his reports
on stock conditions in this country to
the Chilean Embassy.
Perhaps the greatest ambition of |
MIR. Burr's life is to raise the profess |
sion of agriculture in the eyes of his
people. In Chile the farmer is looked I
iown upon, and Mr.. Burr's family,
which is socially prominent and
wealthy. is strongly opposed to his
studying agriculture. In letter that
lie received recently, his mother said
hat she was greatly disappointed
hat he has decided to make this his
ife's work.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRESS

At no other time in the nations
history has its press faced greater re.
sponsibility or a larger duty than al
the present time.
The press must be the organ of ex-
preston of public opinion, but as
such it must determine what is the
true expression of this sentiment and
must not lend an ear to false cOun-
sells. The press must lead the people
in its interpretations of the happen
ings and the rapidly changing condi-
tions of the day. but it must do this
in an unbiased and unprejudiced
manner.
The press must be patriotic but it
must not be wildly so and lose its
power and reason in so doing. 1t
must fulfill its duty to the nation
without overlooking its duty to the
community.
1t must be fearless in the express
sion of its opinion and rational in its
interpretations. 1t must aid in the
great move for preparedness and
think deeply upon the vital problems
of the national government.
1t must not stir up contention by
sensational disclosures and it must
be equally cautious is not becoming
ultra-co&servative The press must
interest itelf not only in international
but in internal needs.
1t must view the great movements
from above as a beacon light and at
the same time must mingle in the
crowds as a helping hand. 1t must
play both the parts of a servant of
the people and as their leader.
The press must not permit the ex-
preston of anything which is detri-
mental to the nation but must insist
upon the rights of free thinking in
all else. The press and not the ma
ton must make the final decision of
what to print and what to withhold. |:
