He Starts Stunt There Of Thirty Days
for Not Keeping His Daughter
In School Last
Winter.
rs INDIFFERENT TO LAW
Il Took Lot Of Time and Work to
Get Him to Bar of Court, and in
the Meantime Schools
Closed.

Wherry lobe reposed in the county
Jail last night as the start of thirty
days confinement there.
The record reads that the imprts-
onment is because he would not send
his daughter to school; but closely
connected with that is the poor man
agement of Wherry in dealing with
the authorities.
The daughter was out of school a
great deal during the last year, and
the truant officer, Vincent H. PhillipA
used his customary and generally
effective persuasive tactics for a
long time on the parents. Finally he
procured warrant under the COM
pulsory education law and showed II

Very Popular Always.

He was as popular as he was effl-
cient He never displayed the least
Irritation in the presence Of acquaint-
ances or strangers, and was always
slightly smiling when talking. Every
man in the Cooper organization from
department heads to wops in the
Golfer dam respected and liked him,
and among the people Of Keokuk and
the power zone he was a prime fav-
orite always.
His apparently infinite capacity for
work had something TO do with this,
for however rapidly he was moving,
he never showed hurry, and anybody
could always get access to him in
minute, even at the peak of the load
on his shoulders during construction
days here.
His work included building roads,
buying oyerflowed land, moving
cemeteries, paying compensation for
injuries, and getting freight moved

He got fine of $40 for each offense

ed Mr.. Blease's action as a "bolt'

dates Mr.. Blease, in today's state
ment, says that they should thank
him for his announcement, sfor they
would not have had any 81 ech with
out it, as they haven't brains enough
to make an intelligent argument up
on important issues"
The following is the ex.governor's
statement:
81 have never had. any desire to be
a congressman, am not now, have
never been and never expect to be a
candidate for that Office.
81 had purpose in making the
announcement that I did in refer
ence to the Seventh district vacancy
and may some day say what it was,
but at present l will let each man
suggest to himself my reason, and
don't care a finger snap for the rea-
son that he may accept.
"My intimate friends knew that l
would not be in the race, and l so
stated by letter and in person to
others; in fact all my associates
knew that I would not accept that
lob if offered it unanimously.
81 received by letters and person
ally many assurances of support and
some people would be surprised to
know how many endorsed my posi-
ton and the names of men who
promised support; they being, like
myself, tired of such primaries as we
have had in recent years.
"Certain announced candidates
for the place should thank me for
that announcement, for they would
not have had any speech without it,
as they haven't brains enough to
make an intelligent argument upon
important issues"

that we had any special message or
that our presence would have added
to the occasion, but we promised
Mrs. Blair to come, and we intended
to keep the promise. We feel an es-

What a glorious thing it would be
ccr many of us if we could go to that
mountain retreat at Montreal of
which Mr.. John K. Aull writes so
graphically, if we could but learn

help but realize if he stays up there.
It would be well for many of US If
we could go there and stay for a
season, if we would then but truly
realize chow very small, after all
are the works of men, and how pitt
sul lis human selfishness, and how
mean are the petty spites which one
observes in the dealings Of human
creatures one with another"

We should, without having to go te
he beautiful mountains Of western
North Carolina, but many of us fal

Former Attorney General Wicker
shaw suggests that the senate ratify
the peace treaty and then after that
the amendments that some of the
senator's are clamoring for can be
made. That seems to be the sensi-
BILE view to take of the problem. But
the treaty will be ratified just like
President Wilson says, and the lea
que of nations will also be adopted.
We have never had any doubt on
that subject. These fellows in the
senate had to do something and
while the delay is little long
drawn out they will eventually come
around to President Wilson. This is
his Job and he was raised up for it. No
doubt there will be from time to
time changes and amendments to the
league, but it is going to be adopted
lust as President Wilson says and
wants it done. We would like to see
It done pretty soon, because until
The rteaty is ratified and the league
Of nations agreed upon the country

the Improvement association of the

in the habit of accepting an invita-

they had on Friday night, and then
not go, especially if we are in any
way a part of the program, however
unimportant our presence might be.

started it began to rain and the
clouds were lowering and to all ap-
pearances it would have been just

A new party is forming out in
Texas and one of the things it is
against is government regulation for
everything. The tendency has been
for several years to have a great
centralized government, and govern
ment control, and it is coming along
much more rapidly than we thought.
If we are to Judge by the past the
tendency toward great centralized
government is bad omen, but these
are strange and new times and we
can not always judge the future by
the past. To our mind we do not
favor so much government control,
but that is the tendency and has
been for several years, and it is
growing rapidly. What the end will
be we do not pretend to predict.

eran church was observed last Sun
day while an address in the morning
by Mr.. A. H. Kohn Of Columbia and
dinner on the grounds and another
address in the afternoon by Mr..
Harry H. Blease.
Mr.. Kohn was the first person IN
this section to suggest the observ-
ance of old folks day and the Gus
tom first began in Grace church at
Prosperity during the time Mr.. Kohn
was resident of Prosperity and a
member of that church. For some
reason Grace has not observed the
day for some time, but a few years
ago the plan was adopted by St.
Pauls, and it has been kept up in
that church since, and every year
brings a very large congregation to
the church on these occasions.
I have attended these gatherings
every year, and this year l went
down with Mr.. Harry Blease in his
handsome Chalmers car with his son,
Mr.. Marion Blease, driving. He
also took along Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
J. Hayes and Mr. Wyche Dickert.

the weather was concerned, and Just

ernor of South Carolina, in another
statement issued today, said that ne
is s:not now, has never been and
never expects to be a candidate for
that Office" His last statement says
that he had reason for making the
announcement that he did, and at
present he will let any man suggest
to himself what that reason was.
It was intimated in this CORE
spondence last Monday that Mr..
Blease would not run in the general
election. His. friends have stated
that he made the statmeent that he
did in order to get the white people
to register in his district so that the
negro registration, which is only
about $500, would not be menace.
However, in his first statement, ne
called on lis factional followers to
remain away from the primaries so
that they could support him in the
general election if they so chose.
Since Mr.. Blease made his former
announcement he has come IN Tor a

not going to be candidate for con-

that he has reason for his former
announcement which he may give
out and which he may not give out.

his reason, but he doesn't give a snap
about the whole thing. We never
did believe that he would be candi-
date and so\said to several persons.
We are not in the guessing business.
