GOOD ROADS OPEN WAY
FOR BANK BANDITS

Figures compiled by a Michigan
banker show that robberies CT banks
in small towns are much more com.
mon in states which have no State
Police than in those states which
have adopted the constabulary sys.
TEN. Indiana, Ohio and Illinois have
had many such robberies recently, the
reason being that their excellent high.
ways give opportunity for bank rob.
bers to use fast automobiles in get
ting away from the scenes of their
crimes. In New York, Pennsylvania
and Michigan the State Police have
perfected systems whereby they "close
the roads," after any crime in which
the perpetrators escape by automobile
and thus make it very difficult to
successfully carry through such rob
berries.
Being fairly smart, the professional
bank robbers avoid the small towns
in those states where the State Police
are prepared to make things danger
GUS for them.

THAT CITY STUFF

City newspapers and moving picture
films are becoming filled with sensa-
tional sex stuff.
The reason is simple.
The average city mind runs in that
direction and demands what it wants
The city newspaper that caters most
to the popular demand gets the cir
culation and circulation gets the adj
vertising supplies the dividends.
The same rule applies to the cinema
houses.
A good, healthy, elevating picture
will draw few people but a sensa-
tional sex or murder film fill the
house Moving picture men are after
the money, and they employ the
means that they know will produce it.
Country districts have not become
so badly trained with modernism. The
people are more in the open, are often
err in the communion with nature, and
breathe more freely of the purity of
life away from the dens of vice and
iniquity.
That is the situation today but who
can tell as to the morrow?
1t depends upon the mental and NOR
al training of our young people.
The ideas we install into the minds
of little children will have much to do
with the bent of their mentality when
they reach the age of maturity.
If we implant their minds healthy
respect for the teachings of Christ
ianity and a devotion to the cause of
right and justice, of purity in thought
and action, they may escape the wave
of viciousness that is sweeping the adj
ult world.
But our hope for better future
rests with the chilrden of today.
When we want to teach dog tricks
we begin when he is young.
The human race is not so far remov-
ed from the brute creation but what
the same rule will apply.

bound to grant in
dependence without further delay.
Congressman King is one of an in
creasing number Of Republicans in the
House who are urging quick action
on Philippine independence Mr..
King Is the author Of a bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government, Under presidential
proclamation, may assemble conven-
ton and frame constitution.
After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine islands as "a
separate and self-governing nation
The transfer Of authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
Is made for safeguarding American in
vestments In the Philippines and for
the providing of coaling stations and
submarine bases In the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed If they
do not get it.
mo nation has the right" said Con-
gresham King ITO hold another people
in peonage, even though it may be
argued by the professoriate that the
condition is simply one of tutelage.'
"a little more observance Of the
golden rule In national and interna-
tional affairs would soon dispel that
desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe
of freedom in the world today.
when we went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated by any self
ish desire of conquest or territorial
aggrandizement, but solely by humani-
tartan impulses"
Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect a monument to
Admiral Dewey, which he said was in
directly a tribute to the American peo-
pie as well as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley, which was as
follows:
"In my opinion these people Gill
pinos) are superior iii intelligence and
more capable of self government than
the natives of Cuba, and am familiar
with both"
Congressman King then recited the
preamble to the Jones law, passed
August 20, 1916, and declared it was a
definite pledge of independence. The
preamble stated at is as it has always
been the purpose of the people of
the limited States TO Withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence as
soon as a stable government can be
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
+ 10 question but that the Filipinos had
established the specified stable gov
eminent and, therefore, it is the
solemn duty of the United States to
grant the promised independence.

tent will lose the waterproof qualities
It left the factory with and begin to al
low lean, penetrating streams Of wa
ter to wiggle down the necks Of the
sleepers If 1t rains hard the water
will also crawl under the tent and col
lect In large, damp body on the floor,

to tie up the west flap will have no
trouble In telling what 1t is at once.
More internal rheumatism has been
caused by sleeping in a water-soaked
state in a tent which was guaranteed
to stand off a cloudburst than from
any other cause except putting vinegar
into the breakfast food.
Owing to lack OF space in the aver
age tent the spring cot is used as a
substitute for beds. AS nobody ever
manufa ctured a cot that was over FIVE
feet long the result is that several on
the male members of the family are
obliged to allow their feet to hang over
In graceful parabola, or else curl up
like telescope fireladder and collect
full set of internal contracting
cramps. No man ever slept on one of
these cots and became the unwilling
prey of every homefaring pinch bug
without cursing the manufacturer to
his latest breath.
Tents are constructed OF strong
fbrous materials which will keep out
everything bat the wind, rain and man
eating insects. When one thinks of
the thousands of intrepid American
families who go to roost every night
IN the summer in a dog tent, which is
liable to cave In every time the wind
gets above middle G, he will not fdar
that we are losing those heroic qualE
ties which shone at Bunker Hill and
the late Chicago convention.
The tent sleeper is an early riser,
owing to the mill1man, the iceman and
the insomnia rooster, and therefore
the practice should be encouraged.

LARGER FORCE
IS REQUIRED
TO GUARD LAW
EXPERIENCE SHOWS STATE Po.
LICE SHOULD HAVE
MORE TROOPERS.

After nearly two years of service,
the West Virginia State Police has
shown the scope of the work for such
constabulary force in West Virginia,
according to state officials who have
watched the progress made in organic.
ing the constabulary and in enforcing
the laws.
During the eighteen months which
ended December 81 last, the West
Virginia State Police made 3,549 ar
rests. OF these 60 were for murder,
6 for rape, "a for destruction of prop
erty, 465 for gambling, 3S7 for moon
shining, 425 for carrying concealed
weapons, 412 for bootlegging while
the remainder comprised almost ev-
cry crime upon the statute books.
With this record, it is the conclu-
sion of persons who are DESTROYS of a
stricter enforcement of the laws that
the force has proved itself worthy of
support and enlargement
The fact that conditions in one sin
gle southern county have required
nearly all of the State Police force
to maintain order demonstrates that
the constabulary should be of suffi-
Gent numbers so that no such emer-
gency would call for the presence of
SO large proportion of the force
In other states where State Police
forces exist, there is a movement to
provide more adequate pay for the
officers and men. Equal consideration
will be asked for the West Virginia
State Police.

who betrayed the cost of whole

services. The Cedartown department
is q volunteer organization and while
Chief C. T. Bobo, three assistant
chiefs and twenty-three others are
away for the week other members of
the department are remaining at
home to care for anything in which
they specialize should it become nee
essary. The local department has ar
ranged several entertainments for
the visitors.
