The Advertiser has received the

The letter OF Capt. Richey follows:
Knoxville, Tenn,
Dec. II, 1921.
Editor The Advertiser:
l was greatly distressed on reading
in yesterdays "State" OF the tragic
death Of policeman Hose Martin.
During the time that | was mayor
and Hose Martin was policeman, l
had ample opportunity to observe him
from all angles and j considered him
one OF the best officers I'VE had, and a
good man and citizen. i could say
| more good about him but to do so
would carry me far from the real OBJ
! ject Of this letter.
The killing of this man is bad
enough in itself. but when one thinks
OF the six small children left without
| father or mother, it is indeed a sad
case. l know that there is little that
human power can do to cheer and
comfort these little ones now, but in
order that the Christmas season may
| be made as cheerful as possible for
them, l hope that Christmas fund
may bc raised and presented to them
SO that Santa Claus will visit them as
usual this Christmas, and to give such
a fund a start l am enclosing here
! with $500. / hope that others will
feel as l do about this matter and will
make contributions to you as trustee
Of the fund.
y Sincerely yours,

The Auction of Labor

Probably all that was expected was accomplished by that Auction of Labor Boston Common on Thursday, to bring in striking manner the public the unemployment situation It could hardly have been believed that one. however great his need of laeor might be, would bid for 1t in surroundings so suggestive of the slave Especially h. would not when there were many other sources to which he could apply for labor.
 We think though the effect of that auction will be much more beneficial than if every pr scented on the block had been sold" In no other way we think of could the unemployment situation be forcibly presented.
 Many great movements have had small begin- ming in Boston Common. There stands the Crspus Attucks monument commemorating the "Boston Massacre which though in itself small affair which at the time not held to be creditabIe either to the citizenship of Boston or to Captain Preston and his soldiers was yet to become so great an affair that nearly half century later John Adams said of it: Not the Battle of Lexington or Bunker Hill. the surrender of Burgoyne or Corn wallis, were more important events than the battle of King Street the 9th day of March, 177o," "the first act in the drama of the Revolution"
 It was there that Wendell Phillips thundered and fired the people the north and no doubt spurred the sentiment of the south along the way to secession thus hastenng the abolition of human slavery.
 We have almost daily the statistics relating to unemployment. but the figures are cold and unat- tractive. We have daily of bread lines and of men marching in patoons brigades into the ranks of the unemployed but they are only incidents of the day. in the m-run of the news which we read and put aside to make for tomorrows news
 But the sale of labor at auction in this Year of Our Lord 1921 something impressive and com polling.

LARDNER WEEKLY LETTER
IT'S WILD LIFE IF YOU DON'T WEAKEN

for something that happened last month.
 Namely: my wife went to the coun- try.
 She went to the country and she stayed ? wks. and as near as I can remember they's only one other period in my life which compared with them wks. for gayety and that was right after congress decided to invite we boys of 31 to 40 yrs. old to participate in what somebody has so aptly nicknamed the world war.
 Wild Excitement
 It will not be nessary to go ahead and describe the whole wks roys- tering only to say that it begin every morning about 9 o'clock and lasted till all hours of the night up to and includeing S:S0 p. m. except the last night when I went to hell entirely, drunk cups of coffee and never got to bed till 10.
 Dureing these orgys I run through S1.50 and didn't even keep track of where it went to and don't know now. But I did keep track of how many cars went past the house vile I set looking out the window and the total number was 1892 of which over 500 rattled. The total number that stopped to leave visitors could be counted on the fingers of one eel.
 They was also 13S pedestrians of which 24 looked at the house but kept on going. The phone rung 47 times. The mail man come II times. The tide come in and went out 2s times. And the fire whistle blowed twice.
 I said my 4 hoorays all right. but l salc them at the end of the ? wks. with her listening.
 A vile ago I referred in these col umns to an article by Geo. Ade on the joys of single blessedness and some of the remarks I made about Geo. may of been kind of harsh but I made them before I went through these wks. of bachelor hood Now don't blame Geo. for nothing. I have only sympathy for him or any other man that when they cut them selfs shaveing or when a fuze burns out, they haven't nobody in the house to raise hell with for same.
 I suppose some of my readers when they read this letter will think of themselfs that it was written with a. ulterior motive, namely to salve the Mrs. and flatter her and make her feel kindly towards the writer and etc.
 We'll friends. such suspicious is groundless for the reason that our nuptials, contract don't contain no clause provideing for her to read what I write and she is the kind that believes in liveing right up to the letter of the contract, but no extras.

1t Ended in a Farce

numerously observed Cochise county knows no capital punishment law. The other day two murderers, the slayers of a man at the Slaughter ranch for loot found guilty of mur- der in the first degree and their punishment was fixed by the jury at Imprisonment for life
 The judge of the court doubt having in mind the verdict of the jury in the recent Haverty case in which the murderer had ridden to the home of his brother and shot him down unarmed warned the jury that it confined to three forms of verdict and could not find him guilty of manslaughter as jury had done in the Haverty murder. But negectng to say anything about lesser degrees of crime the court the risk. in excluding only mansaughter of provoking verdict finding the defendants guilty of arson. forgery pocket picking.
 In this the defendants had been employe. at the Slaughter ranch. The victim. Fisher was shot down at night and the murderers were immediately and positively identified by Mrs Slaughter who was armed with powerful nashlight Beside this testi- mony there circumstantal evidence as positive as such evidence can be, against the defendants.
 So impressed did the jury seem to be by the hdeousness Of the crime that it Is said in report of the trial that Of the 5urymen were observed to weep the county attorney addressed them in the closing argument.
 In the circumstances the trial ended in farce. It offered deterrent to of the same class as that to which the defendants belong. To them a sentence of life Imprisonment means little. They aware than of that life imprison- ment is not Imprisonment life; there is the probability within ten years of pardon. and that there is always the possibility an escape
 If there is any part of the state in which a deterrent Is needed it is along the border where so many murders of this character are committed. The jury could not forgotten still more recent massacre at Ruby few miles farther west
 So far concerns the effect upon crimes of this character it would have been far better if these murderers had never been apprehended. It would indeed have been better if the jury had acquitted them on the ground of lack of evidence. Then it might have been supposed by of their class that If they had been found guilty they would have been hanged There would have been at least the shadow of deterrent.

 A Frank Expose
 However. I am amongst those that was guned by a song written a long vile ago but you still hear it once in vile and I believed the sentiments expressed in it till I learned differ ent and have now made up my mind to expose it though in doing so I will half to say word or two in regards to my personal affairs which l hope the reader will overlook same.
 The song which I refer to is called My Wife's Gone to the Country" and as I remember the author of same was Irving Berlin which I will say in his behalf that he has got a pretty fair record for sticking to the truth, but he was not married and what he put in the song was due to hearsay and ignorance more than any intent to deceive.
 For the benefit of those that don't remember the song, will say that the plot of it dealt with a guy whose Mrs. had left home for a vile and W tft On d fdCdliOn ana lne HuSDdilo was left all alone in the city and was haveing such a good time that Ee couldn't help from hollering hoo rays in the chorus.
 Well friends. when I heard that song the first time I laughed ,leart- fly and said how true and etc. and told my friends about the song and what a great song it was and the song always stuck in my head and l don't suppose they was a day past in yrs. but what I thought to myself maybe that will happen to me some time. namely that my wife will go to the country and leave me home and l can run around hollering hoorays and maybe double that number.
 I may as well exclaim that she rea- son why I felt that way about the song was that when I heard the song was like MT. Berlin and didn't nave no wife and was running around with the baseball boys and a good many of them was married which seemed to be just a bother to them. So the first impression I got of the song was that it was a great song and true song and that impression might'o of lasted to my dying day only

The Case Is Closed

If there Is nothing more be said against prohibition than that it's operation has worked to deprive our medical colleges requisite number of stiffs' may regard the "wet' and "dry" con- troversy closed. We will concede that since the enforcement of prohibition began, fewer homeless men have been found dead in the gutters. Fewer corpses have been discovered mornings in the Hops We will concede that the supply of cadavers from these hitherto fruitful sourcs have been sriousy diminished. But if better reason be urged for the opening of the gin mills and making quor acces- sibie to all. than that medical colleges may be supplied with dssecting material let them remain closed By this time anyhow the study of the human body, which has been going for long time ought to be fairly complete.
 Men are still dying of strong drink not so many as formerly but still an alarming number But the man who can afford to pay s1o or s15 for a lethai dose is apt to have enough money left to keep him out of the vats of the medical colleges or the Potters Field. so he becomes unavailable a stiff"

To the editor:
 use to work on a newspaper once that the editor of it always said it was a newspapers duty to always tell the public the whole truth and expose all kinds of sham and etc. and that a newspaper man was remiss in their duty if they failed to show up any piece of hokum that was be- ing put over irregardless of who it hit.
 We'll friends, if that editor was correct then it looks like it was my painful duty to say a few words in regards to the boys that are write ing this nations songs and whom am sorry to say have took advantage of their position and made a lot of statements that has led their clients astray in regards to various aspects of our national life and customs some of which has proved costly to people that is innocent enough to be- heve that if a song writer said so it must be true.
 I will not waste no time refuteing the more trivial false hoods of the lyric writer, like for inst. the one of the effect that all girls has blue eyes and that everybody's mother lives in a ivory covered cottage below the Mason and Dixon lines and don't do nothing but set on the front porch all day and blubber.
 Prevarications like these kind is harmless becatse most people gen. erally always finds out for themself that it ain't true but even if they go all through life believing it. why they ain't much hurt. But it's a more serious proposition when man draws everything he has got out of the saveings bank and makes a trip to Honolulu on acct. of the song writers haveing led him to believe that all Hawaiian danes is beautiful and when he gets there and sees them and thinks of the money he spent getting there to see them, the least that can happen to him is a long spell of sickness accompanied by dizziness and spots before the eyes.
 Personly I never fell for the sweet Hawaiian maiden hoax because l happened to be out in California a few yrs. before the ukelele epidemic hit N. Y. city and vile I was there typical belle of Honolulu was pointed out to me which before I knowed who she was I thought one
