JUDGE TABOOED
FOUNDER TALKER
Told Lawyer He Was Disgracing His
Profession by Defending J. J.
Shepherd

Miami, Okla, April 23-The fall
ure of a speaker to appear at the
court house yard Monday morning
caused disappointment to some who
had gathered to hear q talk, supposed
ly in defense of ]. ]. Shepherd, editor
Of the Rounder, who is again in Jail. A
crowd which had gathered soon broke
up. Everybody in the crowd took the
meeting good naturedly and there
was little comment on the failure Of
a speaker to appear.
Dodgers announcing that A. C..
Towne, a Miami lawyer, would speak
at IL o'clock in the morning were
circulated Sunday afternoon. Judge
George C. Crump, who was sent
here by the supreme court to con-
duct criminal court, however, took
hand in the announced program when
he called T0wne before the bench in
district cour before the hour set for
the meeting.
Judge Crump severely rebuked
the lawyer and warned him that he
would complete his speech in jail II
he attempted to make one on the
court house lawn.
"You debase the profession Of
which you are q member and If ]
were on the bench permanently !
would disbar you from my court"
he told Towne.
Judge Crump spoke while on the
beach. TOwns stood before him.

certain the railway administration
will take the same view of the mat
ter. He said he hoped 10 be able to
let the committee have a final an
swer within the next day or two.
Mr.. Baruch also pointed out to the
committee that the great cause for
the small demand for zinc was due
to the small amount of business be-
ing done by the galvanizing indus
try, but in order to overcome this
lack of demand and to steady the
market he had strongly urged that
our army and navy department place
their orders for zinc as soon as pos
sible, and also urged our allies to
place their orders as soon as they
could make reasonable estimates as
to their future needs. He also said
that so far as the government could
influence the situation, it was its
policy to purchase supplies at a price
that would give the producers a rea-
sonable profit, but also the govern
ment would prevent, if possible, at
any time, what he chose to call "a
runaway market"
Final Decision of Railways
This afternoon Representatives
Campbell and Decker again called at
Mr. Baruch's office to ascertain if
any definite decision has been
reached between the war industries
board and the railway administra-
ton. Mr.. Baruch was engaged in
conference with the president and
could not see them, but they had an
interview with Pope Yeatman, who
is head of the raw material section
and closely associated with Mr..
Baruch. Yeatman informed Decker
and Campbell that the railway ad-
finally has decided that,
owing to the present scarcity Of cars
the cars which heretofore had been
used in hauling zinc from Mexico
would be sent to the middle west and
used for hauling coal and other need
ed commodities in Missouri, Kansas
and Arkansas. Yeatman said that
while it is not the policy Of the ad-
to put an embargo on
the products from Mexico, yet in this
as to transportation 1t
would not be justifable to use cars
to haul products that were not needed
and allow the people to go without
necessities for lack of transportation
facilities. Yeatman formerly lived
in Joplin and, in fact, was a mine
operator himself and operated mines
there in 1891 and 1892.

The names will not be mentioned

the following little story: One groc-
cry adopted the complete cash system
and tried TO induce another grocer to
follow suit. The second grocer re-
fused, saying he believed the credit
system the best and would get the
pick of the trade through the credit
system. The other day. according to
grocer number one, grocer number
two came to him and asked II a GER
tain party was trading with him and
was informed that he was not. "Well,
this party bought $2S worth Of grOc-
cries from me and not only has not
paid but is dealing at another groc-
cry" Grocer number one says that
a few days later the party mentioned
by number two came in and bought
good bill Of stuff and paid the cash
for It, thereby winning the heat.

lAlE GuARD POPULATIONS
Sol Facts About the Home Guards
s- That Everybody Ought to Be-
va come Acquainted With

" s--~~~~~--~
: do not publish in the following
al I the regulations relative to the
orr nization and conduct Of the
Home Guard but all Of the more i'm
portant ones are recorded here:
Beginning at No. 4 Of ten para
graphs: The authority Of organizing
the State Guard is provided for in
the General Statues, Section 621O.
The latter part Of this section reads:
"And where volunteers are called in
the service Of the state only they
shall be subject to the same discipline
and penalties, and receive the same
pay, as the regular National Guard
of the state, and such temporary vol
unteers shall be discharged when d.
rected by the Commender-in-chief, or
as soon as the emergency for which
they are required has passed" The
Commander-in-chief Of the state
forces is the governor. The emer-
gency for the call Is the war. When
the war is over the emergency will
have passed and all with be discharg-
cd.
The State Guard takes the place of
the national guard insofar as their
use in the state is concerned, but they
ale not the same as the National
Guard, for the latter was equipped
and maintained largely at the eX-
pense of the U. s. Government, anc
could be called into the U. S. Ser
vice without their consent. In this
respect they are different from thc
National Guard.
Every county in the state vii!
probably have one or more companies
There is not any likelihood unless
great emergency should arise, Of any
company being called outside the
home county for duty. 1t can read
lily be seen that if each county has
one or more companies Of State GuarC
they will be amply protected in their
respective counties. It is the inten-
ton to provide that no hardship will
he worked upon any member Of the
Company, who for business or other
reasons would find it impossible to
leave home on a sudden call.
No physical standards have been
fixed for enlisted men. Any ablebod.
led person over eighteen years Of age
may join the units. A physical exam
ination is required for the officers.
This examination is to be given By
some local physician in the county ir
which the officer resides.
The uniforms will be standard o
D. or khaki with such changes in thc
insigna as have been suggested fron
this office, so they will not violate tn
provisions of the National Defense
act.
The officers will be commissioned
by the governor after they have taken
tho physical examination and filled
cut the qualifying blank. The enlist
ed men will be accepted when they
have signed the enrolment blank.
In counties or adjacent counties
where four companies will be assign
ed to battalions for administrative
purposes. One surgeon and chaplain
may be commissioned for each bat

CAPITAL CITY NOTES
By Chas. H. Trapp

Topeka, Kan, April ga manu-
facturer tells why you are going to
get clothes that are increasingly high
priced or increasingly poor. High
grade cloth is made of yarn that is
twisted of long wool fibre. Second
grade is made of shorter wool. There
are numerous grades. After the sui;
is worn out it is again torn into
threads and made into clothe. This
is the suit you buy at q "bargain." "
Again it is torn up and mixed with
cotton. This is the suit that shrinlls
an inch or two when it rains. With
practically no long wool to be had, the
citizen is in a predicament. Some
tailors still have the old weaves on
hand and if you can get suit from
them you are lucky.
Baxter Springs news., 1918-04-26

Even the street car companies are
feeling the urge of more money.
With the rising costs of labor, mater
ial and incidentals they find them
selves with q fixed income of five
cents a ride. Again, the autoist who
picks up his friend and takes him
down town is eating into the income.
The jitneys have done some damage
to the electric transportation; even
the suburban rides have been cur
tailed by the private car. And the
street companies are sending the S.
o. S. over the land for help. With
income less than outgo they face the
courts and q receiver, and they say
the only salvation is to raise the
fares to six cents.
