THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Edward Everett Hale,
APRIL 8. 1929.
is 1T YoURsY


TO say the name Edward Everett
Hale Is TO add at once the words
author Of The Man Without "a Coun-
try. This tale, published during the
civil war, did much to strengthen the
union cause in the north. Nowadays
they are quoting II again all over the
United States. when talking of the
recently deported bolshevists, many of
whom fear that no country will allow
them in her ports
Hale was the nephew of Edward
Everett, the great orator ond states
man, and grand nephew of Nathan
Hale, the martyr spy. He was Gradu-
ated from Harvard when he was IL,
was pastor. OF the South Congrega-
tional church in Boston, and for many
years chaplain OF the United States
senate. He died in RoXbury some ten
years ago.
He was nearing middle age when
he came into notice as a writer. Most
persons have read his clever little
short story: My Double and How He
undid Me"-a quaint satire on the
varied duties of minister. The Man
Without Country" Is, of course, his
best known work. The story, Ten
Times One is Ten" with it's motto:
Look up and not down. look forward
and not back. look out and not in, and
lend a hand" led TO the forming of
iunumerable Lend A Hand Clubs,
Look up Legions, and such. The ro-
mantle In His Name" was the inspir-
alton for the famous Kings Daughters
and Kings Sons societies. For half
century he worked for the betterment
of the poor and the working class--a
problem in those days not connected
with any form of socialism.

HARDING SHOULD FOLLOW ALLEN.

W, ), Allen, secretary of state mas
resigned his office. So much was eX-
pected. 1t Was known that he was be-
ing urged TO hand in his resignation
thus avoiding further proceedings to-
ward his removal. II was Hobson :
choice for the secretary.
The secretary is adjudged inCom-
petent and unfit for the office by the
senate committee that investigated
his department. His resignation is
acguiescenCe and confession to the
Judgment. And he IL not more incom-
petent today than he has been all
along thru the renewed terms OF office
careless and msled voters have
granted him.
How do such candidates ami Off
cials get BY? Allen sought the office.
He is not to be condemned for doing
that. In the analysis of blame and
blame placing the voters must take the
greater share of the odiunf. OF course
the state wide primary as it was made
opportunity for such candidates as
Allen.
Has public service and it's sense OF
responsibility ebbed in this state TO
an extent that the Iowa public expects
nothing. is happy and surprised with
little and content to bear worse? The
action OF the senate committee in the
Allen matter would indicate that the
Iowa public has reached tho limit OF
its endurance. That same Iowa will
await the action of the judiciary COM
mittee of the house with interest and
expectation.
Allen retires under the charge OF IN
competency and of using his Office 10
promote his own political ambitions
failure TO give personal attention to
the details of his office, etc. Allen did
not desire to resign. He accepted that
horn of the dilemma reluctantly it Is
Allen is dumped for what he didn't
know and didn't do. Harding in
yestigation is upon what Harding did.
Whatever the motive behind the
granting OF that pardon, whether II
may have ben purchase, political pay
ment, personal opinion that rape is
nothing more than an immoral act
or any other reason offered Harding
shows badly by comparison with
Allen. For the pardon was granted,
the fact concealed for weeks, the
parole board avoided. The plea Of
mistake lacks force when the par
don was granted by a lawyer-governor
OF the two Allen stands in the better
light,
What will Harding do? What action
will be taken by the committee and
its members investigating his conduct
in the highest office of the state?
VIII he be urged to resign the COVER
norShip?
Harding should follow the Allen
example. His usefulness to the state
il such usefulness ever existed--is
ended For the good name Of Iowa
the man should resign. The house COM
mittee may well follow the example
afforded it from the upper house and
urge him toward that way out.

ploye of the N. c. & St. L. Ry., of

My Sons health was all run down
after he got up from an attack of the
influenza. He had no energy at all
and could hardly drag around. His
appetite was so poor that lie didn't
care for anything to eat.
He kept going down and fell off
in weight snd nothing did him any
good.
Finally ] heard of Meritone and
what it was doing for others, and de-
cided to let him try it.
Since taking two bottles he has
gained five pounds and Just can't get
enough to eat,
That tired, draGgy feeling has left
him and he delights in doing his
school work now.

TERRIBLE CRIME
COMMITTED NEAR
WlLDERSVILLE,

the Saturday night before, in COM
pany with her brother and against
the will of her father.
There are also rumors of another
matter in connection with Mincey,
which is unprintable and which, if
true, had it become known, would
long ago have brought to a close his
earthly career.
When the death Of the girl became
known, neighbors went to the field
with a wagon and carried her body to
a house, a distance of about a half
mile. While the girls body was be-
ing carried to the house, some per-
sons are reported to have seen Min,
cey, at some distance, with his gun
in hand, following, the party bearing
the body Of the murdered girl. Min.
cey came to the shade of n tree and
there sitting on small embankment,
took a stick and with it sprang the
trigger of the gun, discharging it
ana blowing his brains over his body
and over the ground.
The body of Mincey was carried to
the house otter the arrival of Sheriff
Wright The family knew nothing
Of any mental arrangement in Min
cey and the unspeskable crime com
mitted by him, seemed to prevent
disposition to give him Christian
burial.

Last Tuesday morning word came
from Wildersville that Martin Min
cey, living on the farm of Bill Weeks
a mile and a half or two miles East
of that town had shot and killed his
daughter, Julia, aged seventeen
years. There were no particulars ex-
cept that Mincey was blowing in the
field and his daughter hoeing cotton,
when Mjncey went to his home, pro-
cured his gun and coming back to
the field, blew out the brains of the
girl,
Sheriff W. R. Wright was asked
by telephone to come to the scene of
the tragedy and after he had left
Lexington in company with Howard
Smith, one of his deputies, the add
tional information came that Mincey
had killed himself with the same gun,
ut IL o'clock or a little earlier.
Mincey was said to be perhaps for
ty years old, was tenant ON the
Weeks farm and had three other chill
dren beside the murdered girl
Whether Mincey became demented or
what prompted him to commit the
first terrible deed, had not been stat
ed.
Later: The information has been
obtained that Mncey had become en-
ragged at his daughter because she
had attended an ice cream supper on
