man KILLED NEAR
BUCK, GROVE
Unidentified Man Found Early This
Morning on Milwaukee Tracks
i2t3 Mile East of Buck Grove
SECTION CREW FIND MANS BODY
Authorities Believe Man Robbed the
Asmus Store Last Night and Was
Killed While Leaving Town

The Milwaukee section crew discov-
cred the mangled body of a man lying
on the right of way about a mile east
of Buck Grove at an early hour this
morning. The body was badly cut up
and it is believed the man must have
sible that he was struck by a train
while walking on the right of way.
Coroner Byrnes, of Vail, was notified
hut as he is sick Undertaken John
Schnoor was instructed to go to Buck
Grove and bring the remains to Deni-
son, pending an inquest which will be
held either this afternoon or tomorrow.
Justice Baker, of Manila, has been Sc
lected to hold the inquest.
Mr.. Schnoor arrived in Denison this
afternoon with the remains of the man
and states that nothing was found on
him which will lead to his Identification.
He describes him as about 35 years of
age, 5 feet inches tall and weighing
about 140 pounds, dark bushy hair and
mustache. The body was terribly
mangled, but the face is quite we'll pre-
served and a picture is to be taken in
the hopes that this may lead to identi-
flying the man.
The Asmus department store at
Buck Grove was broken into some time
last night and a quantity of mems
clothing, gum and tobacco stolen. All
the clothes on the body of the man
found dead this morning We're identified
as those taken from the Asmus store.
These included suit, overcoat, hat. socks
shoes and overshoes. Sheriff Greene
believes that there was an taccOmplice,
as all of the articles taken from the AS
mus store were not found on the body
Of the man. The man carried a pocket
fiashlight watch and a small amount
of money.

Capital and Labor

It is to be regretted that the interest
of both capital and labor cannot al
ways progress under the common ban
ner of peace and harmony. Each have
certain rights and privileges which
should not be ignored or denied by ths
other. One cannot exist and operats
without the other. If every man wha
honestly examine his own heart with
the view of discovering whatever sell
fishness there may be lurking therein,
and rid himself of that selfshness, then
and not until then, will he be fit and
qualified to enter into negotiations for
Just and reasonable settlement OF
whatever differences, if any, that exist
between the two classes. Every man
should be willing to honestly and un-
biasly pursue the policy Of live ana
let live" While capital should not be
denied the right to reasonable return
for its services, the laborer who is the
real and actual producer of all wealth.
must receive living wage and in the
fixing of this wage, due regard must
be had to the cost of the necessaries Of
life. No man enviess the laborer in his
toll of drudgery and danger. The
labOrer is not a slave, and should not
be so regarded. Most Of them are true
American citizens and should be re-
spected and considered as such.
Washington telegraph., 1920-04-09
SUPPLEMENT
Education

During the last twenty years, there
has been a marked improvement in the
educational system of our State; but
there is ample room for still further
improvement, and especially in the
rural districts. A more liberal and
effective policy toward the county
schools should be promulgated and
worked out, to the end that the boys
and girls in the country districts may
be placed on equal footing with the
boys and girls living in the towns and
cities, insofar as it is possible TO do so.
The country with its limited school
privileges and opportunities, has al
WAYS furnished a liberal per cent Of
the great leaders in every department
of life, and it is but right and fair to
give this class Of people a chance to
develop their full strength along all
educational lines.
The question Of procuring teachers
and instructors for both public and
priyate institutions of learning, is be
coming a serious problem. The com
pensation paid this class Of profes-
sional men and women, is so much out
of proportion with that Of every other
profession, until many teachers have
already abandoned this work and ac-
cepted employment in other fields in
which the compensation is far in ex-
cess of the teachers's salary. The
teachers as a rule love their prOfes-
sion and are loath to give it up. There
is no other profession in which We are
so much interested As a rule the life
character OF the boy or girl is laid and
formed in the school room, and so much
depends on the character and ability
of the teacher. Let the pruning knife
Of retrenchment be applied literally
along other lines heretofore discussed,
and give more attention to the educa-
tion and training Of the children Of
this State.

terested in the liberation Of those con-
victed Of crime. The appeals Of the
mothers and wives Of these unfortun-
ates are difficult to resist. But the
Governor Of the State should possess
sufficient strength and courage TO at
least pass on these applications for par
dons according TO the rule Of merit,
The granting of pardons should never
be so freely INDUCED in, as to become
an obstruction to the enforcement of
law, or TO encourage the commission
Of crime. 1t cannot be denied that
heretofore the granting Of pardons has
been made to depend too much on the
political prestige or influence Of the
party representing the convict in the
application for the pardon. On the
other hand there are doubtless many
convicts who were entitled to some
consideration at the hands Of the Gov
ernor, but on account of being unable
to secure the services Of the right
party to represent them, have had to
serve out their full terms in the peni-
tentiary.
My friends, my contention is that
the exercise of the pardoning power
should be made to depend on nothing
except the merit involved in each in.
dividual case.
Washington telegraph., 1920-04-09
PardOning Power

I deem it hardly necessary to CON
sumo any time in defining my position
as 10 the proper exercise Of the par
doning power. It will doubtless be re
membered that my position has here
tofore been pretty well defined through
the columns Of the Arkansas Gazette,
in a discussion Of this question with a
former State official l have never
taken the extreme and unreasonable
position that clemency should never
be extended by the Governor in any
ease The trainers Of our constitution,
knowing that cases weuld arise in
which clemency should be extended to
those convicted Of crime, vested in the
Governor Of this State the power to
grant pardons. But that this power
has been greatly abused, there can be
no question. l am not unmindful of
the greak pressure that is often brought
to bear ON the Governor by those in
