Breaks 4 Ford Crank.

Hal Kelly is a good fellow even
though he is. member Of the mi
nority party; and his friends hope
he will land berth as a Federal
Prohibition Enforcement officer, a
job held under the Democratic re
gime by Carl Shores.
But what the writer started out
to tell is how a recent trip to the
mountains gave Hal such strength
that he actually broke a crank in
attempting to start up a Ford. Gen.
orally it is the other way round the
Ford kicks first like the story OF
the veterinarian and the mule. The
animal was sick and the owner went
to horse doctor and was told to
blow half d cup OF calomel down the
animals throat About month
later the man again came to town,
walking feebly and dejectedly; see
ing him the veterinarian inquired as
to how the mule got along. Got
along nothing" snorted the owner.

mouth. and the darn thing blew

Last week Hal took trip through
the mountains of western Carolina
with Leake S. Covington and Wal
ter King, and others. Near Blowing
Rock the Ford ehoked down, and
Hal tried to crank it. But in doing
so he wrung the handle off--and
the question is: was his, strength

In connection with the fact
that the :. three appointments
made by Gov. Morrison last
weeh Judge Adams, Judge
Brock and Solicitor Nash are
all sons of Methodist ministers,
calls to mind that Of the various
Presidents the sons Of preachers
have been intrusteds with that
position three times. The nation
acquired Presidents Arthur, Cley-
eland and Wilson from parson-
ages. Going still further along
this line, it is interesting to note
that one merchants son has
lived there, and one manufac-
tureTs. And the present Presi-
dent is a son of a doctor. Thir-
teen Presidents were the sons of
farmers, and only four were sons
of Mwyers. No editor or banker
has as yet been able to address
one of the country's chief magis-
trates as sson.' But then the
cycle of years has not yet been
sufficient to bring the 5-yr-old
hopeful of the writer around as
a possible Excellency.

The four railroad brotherhoods
and affiliated unions have just
completed a vote on whether
they shall call a general strike
rather than accept wage re-
duction. Tie officers of the
brotherhoods are counting the
ballots now, and it is generally
believed that the vote will sbe
overwhelmingly in favor Of
striking.
A pity. that the country is to
experience a general strike OF
this character. Naturally these
railroad men do not want to &C.
cept a reduction in wages, but
they are no better than out mill
workers, or our farmers who
have almost had to give away
some OF their products. Every
one must fare alike in this mat.
ter Of economic readjustment.
