The 1919 record OF the school gar

pluck. perseverance, and "stick-to-itive-
ness" were demonstrated in almost the

a great majority of the people cele-

There are, to be sure, some forms

wisely held to be prejudicial to the

where the atmosphere is admittedly
questionable. To attempt to go be-
yond these sane limits, however, il
not only to do the Christian religion
disservice, butts to assault the test

Secretary Houston Announces Peace
Time Policy.

Secretary Houston takes occasion
to say that the issue of Treasury Saw
ings Securities has become the per-
manent peace time policy OF the Gov
ernment and that the work of the
Savings Organization will be pushed
during the coming year.
1.-TWO new Treasury Savings Secur-
tiles will be issued A 81 Treasury
Savings Stamp and $500 Treasury
Savings Certificate. The 81 Stamp
will be non-interest bearing, will be
bright red in color, imprinted on a
green tint, and will bear the portrait
of Alexander Hamilton, the first
Secretary of the Treasury. The $25
90 certificate will be similar in design
and terms to the 500 and $1,000
Treasury Savings Certificates, which
will also be offered in 1921, to mature
January l, 1926. The new securities
supply a 81 unit for saving and a
Registered Government Security in
the S25 90 denomination of the 81
Treasury Savings Stamps. More
importont still, the new securities
will complete most attractive line
of Government Savings Securities,
the 81 stamp and the s25.0O, 500,
an $1,000 Registered savings Certifi-
! Gates, and thus place the Treasury
Savings Movement on solid peace
time basis. The small denomination
war time securities the $500 War
Savings Stamp, in 1921 series, and
the 25 Cent Thrift Stamp, will also be
offered during the coming year."

houses which are going to ruin and
decay. We met some sight-seers in
the building who told US that the
house once belonged to physician
who intended to build sanitarium on
a site near, but he died before his
plans were completed. After much
conversing about the beauties of
peculiarities of the castle and the
statuary on the grounds surrounding
it, we climbed up the side of the
mountain to the cave. Here some
exploring was done and pictures were
taken, some of which proved to be
excellent.
While we stood grouped about the
mouth of the cave, we looked to the
southeast and caught glimpse of the
College in the Valley below US. 1t
was certainly beautiful scene and
aroused in US feeling of much pride
at the wonderful appearance of our
Alma Mater.
We really went on this delightful
tramp with the intention limited at in
previous paragraph, uppermost in
our minds, and you, dear readers,
who are acquainted with young peo-
pie will know that with ninety girls
and one helpless chaperone, they had
their way, and started from the
mountain down the narrow ribbon
road which leads straight to that
palace of delight-the Ironton Handy
Kitchen! 1t is needless to say a
great injustice was done to our pocket
books, for every one was empty when
we left the place. Again on the
street, we wended our way home
ward, and arrived there just in time
for most welcome supper. Thus
ended most delightfulday' pleasure.

Senator Burton Seeks Parole OF Amalek
Brooks.
(St. Louis Globe-Democrat.)


Jefferson City, Mo, December 16.-
Former United States Senator j. R.
Burton of Kansas is here to attempt
to get parole for an old friend,
whose acquaintance he formed while
both were inmates of the Iron Coun-
ty, Mo-, Jail.
The friend is Amalek Brooks, who
is serving a life sentence in the Peni-
tentiary for murder committed in
Iron County August 12, 1905. While
Brooks and his brother John were
held in the Iron Comfy Jail, Senator
Burton was convicted in the Federal
Court of using his power as United
States Senator in practicing law be-
fore some of the government depart
ments, and sentenced to servo term
in the same Jail. There he formed
the acquaintance of the two brothers,
who were later convicted in the first
degree for shooting and killing John
Clemons, and both were sentenced to
be hanged.
The sentence of Senator Burton ex
pired about the time the Brooks
brothers were sentenced and he ap-
peared before Governor Folk in their
behalf and secured commutation for
both from death to life imprison-
ment. Later, the term of John Brooks
was reduced by Gov. Hadley to fif-
teen years, it appearing that he did
not fire the, fatal shot. This was in
July, 1911, and two years later Gov.
Major issued a parole to Brooks and
he returned to Iron County, where he
lived until his death recently.
1t is said that Amalek Brooks fred
the fatal shot, and the killing was
largely the result of drinking bout,
in which the man who lost his life
had taken no part, or in fight that
preceded the killing.
The trial of the Brooks brothers was
appealed to the Supreme Court and
passed upon by Judges CAN'T, Fox and
Burgess, all of whom are now dead
These Judges confirmed the death
penalty.
Through the troubles of the two
| brothers the former United States
Senator from Kansas has been their
fast friend. He was here today pre-
pairing an application to present to
the State Prison Board this week
asking parole for Amaleck Brooks.

AT Tangier, Virginia, they have a
village ordinance forbidding anybody
standing on the street or sitting out
side the house on Sunday during
church service. The Mayor is ..'a
godly man." and he has a council and
constable dripping with piety. A. boy,
disobeying the ordinance by sitting
on his own brothers. porch a few
Sundays ago while church service
was being held, was shot through the
body by the jealous constable. The
boy had made no disturbance or noise.
The constable has been arrested and
indicted by the interfering State.
The "Christian" authorities are lit
tie previous; they should have await
ed the enactment of the Federal Sun
day law now being urged upon Con-
gress by the unco guild. 1t will doubt
less be drastic enough to satisfy these
righteous takers, of mems souls,
and eventually be amended and sup
plemented so as to provide the rack,
the thumbscrew and the stake for the
persistently unregenerate. The con-
stitutional guarantee against religious
legislation is memento of the blind
ed days when the forefathers short
sightedly essayed to make the United
States land of liberty and freedom
OF conscience. We understand things
better now, and ruck's "What fools
these mortals be' must not be truth

are nearing the Millennium.
