KOOKEN SUES TO
COLLECT FIRE LOSS
Mistake in Description Causes Con.
test in Court.

World: Suit has been filed by Ben
II. Kooken against the St Paul Fire
and Marine Insurance Company to
collect 81 200, alleged to have been
due as a result of loss sustained in
the fire which destroyed a pool hall
building at Dryden last spring
1t is set forth in the complaint that
an insurance policy was taken out on
the building through J. n. Stanford,
Cashmere agent for the company.
Through a mistake the policy was
made to read as if the pool hall was
located at Leavepworth instead Of
Dryden although it was the intention
of both the owner and the agent to
insure the Dryden property.
The property later was destroyed
by fire at loss of$l, 703.5O, which I'M
der the terms of the policy entitled
the owner to collect 1920. The
company refuses to pay since it IS
claimed that the policy does not COW
er the property which was burned. c.

ONE OF OUR REALLY GREAT
MEN.

Spokesman-Review: Senator Knox,
as William Jennings Bryan said in his
generous tribute, was one of our
really great men, He had a states
mans mind, but few of the arts of the
politician that are helpful to a great
statesman. Senator KnoX's associat-
es in the senate, both on the republ-
can and democratic sides, respected
and admired his fine intellect and in
tellectual honesty and courage, but
the great mass of the American pub
lie never discovered him.
The country, however, will have l
growing sense of the loss suffered
when he was stricken. The present
senate is not overrich in leadership.
1t needed senators like Knox, with
clear intellect, keen understanding of
logic and gift of incisive English to
puncture the turgid senate atmos-
phere and relieve the dreariness of
senatorial debate. Senator Knox was
not a frequent speaker on the floor,
but when he did speak he had an at
tentive audience. He prepared his ad-
dresses with patience and pains and
had something to say.
Fortune was kind to him in many
ways, Before he came into public life
he was a lawyer Of eminence and fl
nancial success. He served in the
cabinet of three administrations Me
kirley's Roosevelt'S and Taft's-as
attorney general of the first two, and
later as secretary of state. He was
presidential timber, but, like Secre-
tary of State Hughes, lacked the
knack Of captivating public enthu-
siasm.
Death was mercful in his taking
At one moment. in the full flush of in
tellectual vigor and apparent inte,-
lectual health, the next moment
stricken low, and in a brief Is min
utes death was his portion If the
grim reaper would always strike with
such kindness, death would indeed
be robbed of much of its sting and the
grave Of its victory.

The auto truck is counted upon to
move freight in the event that the
threatened strike is protractcd one.
But where is the gasoline to come
from? Gasoline will have to be con
served closely if the motor trucks arr
to be of use very long. Even our
coastwise shipping will probably soon
be short OF fuel, for most of the coal
and oil reaches the seaports by raj
road

DEAD HORSE IN RIVER.

1t is reported that the body of a
dead horse has been allowed to lie in
the river near Peshastin for some
time and efforts of interested parties
to have it removed seem to have met
with little attention. The place to re-
port such matters is to the county
board of health and if action is not
taken at once someone should be APP
pointed on this board who is alive.
The report coming to us seems au-
thentic, but it may be that the mat
ter was not reported to the county
board. 1t appears that the horse was
hurt when blasting was being done on
the road near Peshastin by county
road crew, and if men employed by
the county are so thoughtless as to
leave carrion in the river they are
entitled to-a slap on the wrist, to
say the least.

A Washington man, suffering from
sleeping sickness, was awakened
when being rushed to a hospital on
the auto striking a chuckhoc; a re-
alistic reminder that were it not for
the chuckholes we run into along
life's journey many of us might new
er awaken from the somnolent state
to the real life. Some of us strike
chuckholes as soon as we are able to
walk and have to begin work at an
early age. Then again upon leaving
the paternal home, we find that if W.
will eat we must produce; and when
we marry and children comet Is
one chuckhole after another rudelv
jouncing us out of our indolent lapses
and to the realization that in our day
civilization demands that we work.

The officials of the railroad unions
have issued an order for general
strike of all rail employees beginning
Oct. 80, at 6 a. m. The roads have
been divided into four groupes and
the employees are to walk out in one
section on Oct. 30 and in each of the
others in order during the following
five days, so that on the morning of
Nov. all the roads will be tied up,
mail trains as we'll as freights and
passengers. President Harding on
Saturday called conference between
the interstate commerce commission
| and the three men representing the
general public on the labor board
with a view to avoiding a strike, but
at this writing it seems that nothing
short of a complete back-down Of the
managers of the roads will avert the
threatened Walkout.

Congress has before it an amend
ment to the highway bill which, it is
given out, will afford employment to
100000 or 100000 men at once upon
its passage. This is measure which
ought, in our opinion, have prompt
consideration and passage. We need
improved roads and we might as well
build them at once and furnish en-
ployment for every man who may be
employed during these slack times.

Lord Northciff was over from Eng
land some months ago and in an ar
ticle printed in the Overseas Daily
Mail gives his impression of "prohi-
bition" (Which he says does not ex-
ist) in America. His conclusions are
right, for national prohibition is
merely synonym of illicit manufac-
ture, sale and use of intoxicants.

AN OPEN WINTER

Never having posed as a "veather
SHARK we are unable to say just how
much winter is ahead of us. Blu.
looking back over that part Of the
present one now recorded we can pro-
nounce 1t one of the most remarkable
in local history. And we can also
hope that part Of it yet to come will
Be similar.
There has been no suffering of con-
sequence right here in THO com.
munity. In fact, it has been the gooe
fortune OF our people to know but
little suffering as a result of cold
weather. And while We are thankful
that this is true Of this locality, il
also does US good just at this time to
know that throughout the entire
United States suffering has been re-
duced to minimum IS a result of
the open weather. Many are out of
empaoyment, it is true, but they seem
70 be faring well at the hands of those
wno are still laboring in good posi-
tons at better salaries than they ever
received. The cry for help which
usually accompanies ice and snow
'las been absent this winter, according
- big city newspapers.

ALETTER FROM HOME

y 'No matter how busy I may be
when the mail comes which brings
my hometown paper, I've always got
few minutes to spare for it," writes
= former Tallulah citizen.
We have had many such statements
~ this, and we know every one of
them ID true. We know that every
man and woman in this community
who was born and reared elsewhere,
likes to get hold Of paper from that
particular part of the country. It Is
human nature to want to keep in
touch with old friends, and to want
TO know what IL going on in the old
home county. That is why every
weekly Newspaper In this land has on
it, subscription list the names Of
residents Of our larger cities or re.
sidents Of distant states. They may
not get back home often, possibly
never win again, but they always feel
IN their hearts something, when the
old home Is mentioned, that can hard.
" be explsined.
Think ever your acquaintance and
we dare ny you will recall away out
somewhere one who could consider
the weekly visit of this newspaper as
good as . letter from home. He OF
she may never get back home here,
but like the New York man. they'll
have time every week to stop and
sam the paper from the old home
toxnsfor name that is familiar to
them. Think what such a gift would
mean to you II you were in their
place. Think how joyously you would
repeat those names so dear to you II
rod saw them in black and white
hundreds Of miles away. And Their
think what an Insignificant sum i;
takes to make someone just As happ,.
u times in the year As If they wer,
receiving each week . long, newsy
letter from home.

SEARCH AND SEIZURE

Newspapers througout the country
are devoting considerable space just
now to discussing the new search and
seizure" law offered in Ohio the past
week and which, it is argued may
take on a national aspect if favorably
acted upon. It is generally pro-
nounced the most rabid piece of "dry"
legislation ever offered for enactment.
We have no desire to discuss the
wet and dry issue here, nor have
we space in our columns for an argu-
ment for or against new laws con-
stantly coming up as the result Of
prohibition. But we believe every sane
man in Tallulah and throughout this
entire community will agree with US
heartily when we say that there are
certain limits beyond which no set Of
men have@a right to set foot. We
speak of the great American home,
and we declare that in this land
"every mans home is his castle" We
cannot agree that the homes Of Am
erica should be at all time open to
the coming and going Of either wet
or dry army of iff-hounds." 1t is
easy enough to cause the arrest Of
any man who permits his home to
generate into a nuisance. But there
is neither sense nor justice in a law
which permits another man to enter
and search a house when neither the
facts or evidence warrants it. There
must be like drawn somewhere-and
the home is about the best place in
the world for drawing it. For if there
is anything sacred to US red-blooded
Americans it is our home.
The Ohio law would recognize no
home as a private residence" In
fact, it stipulates that there is no
such thing as a private residence. I"
And right there is where we think
it is based on bunk and is not the
work Of a man whose brain is in SYM
pathy with the great body of
Americans.

A FINE EXAMPLE

There are children starving in
Europe, women are suffering, and
once strong men are breaking under
the strain which the war has given
them Is an inheritance We are COM
Portable here in our own land, and
few of US have the least idea that
conditions are at this moment worse
in some European countris than his
tory has ever recorded America has
heard the cry Of starving children in
Austria through Herbert Hoover, and
Il II good to know that she is answer
ing, showing that she can forgive a
recent enemy, and that her big heart
will net permit little children to
staFve.
But the part Of this answer which
will strike Tallulah residents most
forcibly ID the answer being sent by
the farmers Of this nation. President
Howard, Of the American Farm
Bureau, said recently in a speech at
Chicago:
Farmers in 81 states have autho-
rized me a. their president to offer
enough American-grown corn to feed
the starving millions Of Europe.
China, Armenia and other foreign
countries. And I promise that the
farmers win deliver their offeringl
promptly 70 the point Of shipment
This treasure viii come in voluntary
gifts q from s to 1900 bushels
many wealthy farmers having given
~ high as 5000 bushels"
All that the farmers insist on i
the corn be not sold, but must &c
straight to the people who need it
The farmer 10 having q pretty tough
time Of 1t himself inst now, with
grain and hog prices declining. But
he comes to the front when trouble
appears, he realizes that tn. good in
the world outweighs the evil, and be
sets q mighty fine example for the
balance Of the world.

All of which brings comfort to
those of us who do not know the pri-
vations and hardships suffered by
thousands in the congested parts OF
our country. 1t makes US happy to
know that our fellowman in some
distant part of the nation is getting
along alright. And knowing that he is
we hope, all of US, that the remainder
of the winter will be as mildly temper
ate as that part which has gone
before.
