COMMUNITY WORKERS

A great many people become dis
couraged in doing civic work, because
they try to accomplish thing. and
they fail to get results. Itfrequent-
ly happens that enterprising people
will start some class or organization
10 promote some good cause or train
young people. but for some reason
they do not get a response. They
get discouraged and give up.
There is always right way and a
wrong way to go about such projects.
II failure is made. there was prob
ably osem wrong psychology" in it
somewhere. The secret of conduct
ing successful community enterprises
is first TO advertise them well, second
to get the support Of influential peo-
pie, and third to secure competent d.
rectors for whatever activities are un-
dertaken. II would be fine thing if
all those attempting any kind of COM
muniiy work in Julesburg could be
assembled occasionally to hear lee
lures from those who have had sue
cessful experiences in handling such
enterprises.

WATCHING PUBLIC WORK

Many city governments encourage
the public TO make complaints IN re-
gard To defects in city property.
streets, schools, lights, etc. They feel
j. is up 10 each citizen 70 help look
after the public possessions. II he
sees any work being done in waste
full way, or if he observes some fault
that might cause damage, he should
notify the public authority:
In the city of Philadelphia, where
the public have been urged 10 make
suggestions Of this kind, prize. be-
ing offered for the best ideas as TO
improvements, 2754 well founded COM
plants were offered by the public in
two months.
In some towns they do not encour-
age complaints of that kind, because
they claim they get TOO many Of them.
They feel that there are plenty Of
knockers who expect an impossible
degree Of perfection, and these knock
ers do not need encouragement TO any
additional fault finding. Such peo-
pie will demand costly repairs when
the defect is too slight TO warrant e1-
pense.
The last named point Of view, while
one can understand it, does not help
secure public improvements. Every
citizen Of Julesburg ought TO feel
keenly interested in the property Of
the community of which he is a men,
Der. 1t he sees waste or removable
defects, he should notify the proper
authorities. Usually they will be alb
le TO act IN the matter, though lack Of
funds prevents many improvements
that we all desire. II they manifest
indifference. then ff desirable the
thing can be aired in other ways.
But aimless knocking does no good
and it takes spirit out Of town.

in public work, the zeal Of municipal
officials is stimulated. If you see a

Fraud Charged In
Woodburn Land
Trade of Arbuckle

Claiming that the value of a
five-acre tract, for which he trad
ed his home in Woodburn worth
$1,000, had been fraudulently and
falsely misrepresented to him, j.
r. Nelson, Dane, who does not
speak the English language, filed
a answer to the suit of F. C. Ar
buckle of Woodburn through his
attorney this morning in the cir
cult court.
Nelson claims that Arbuckle
agreed to find purchaser for his
home and that in doing so ask for
a commission of three per cent.
The trade for the five-acre tract
was made, the land being repre-
sented to Nelson as being worth
$4,000, which in deed and in fact,
states the answer 1t was only
worth $500.
Arbuckle filed suit for his COM
mission Of $50, but Nelson holds
that he had an agreement with the
plaintiff to pay the sum in month
ly installments of $40 each and
had already made two payments.

HANGING
DELAYED
BY ORDER
Bingham Denies Writ
Of Habeas Corpus;
Appeal Taken To
Supreme Court

Elvie d. Kirby and John Rathie,
sentenced to hang Friday morning
in the penitentiary here for com
plicity in the murder OF Sheriff
Til Taylor, took a new lease on
life this morning when Judge
Bingham of the Marion county
circuit court denied a petition
for writ of habeas cor
pus filed by John D. Lane, attor-
ney for Kirby and thereby opened
the way for an appeal to the state
supreme court and stay Of execu
tion for Kirby and Rathie.
The petition for the writ of ha-
beas corpus was filed yesterday
afternoon and argued before Judge
Bingham, Lane alleging that the
Oregon capital punishment law is
unconstitutional in that the 1920
legislature, which passed the bill
and then referred 1t to the cleo
torate for final enactment, had no
authority to refer the bill to the
people.
In denying the petition Judge
Bingham ruled that the plaintiff
had not established probable cause
for issuance of the writ, and held
that, in his opinion, the 1920 leg
islature acted within its authority
in referring the bill to the people.
Judge Bingham's action in re-
fusing to grant the petition throws
the question of the constitutional
ity of the capital punishment law
before the supreme court and opens
the way for a stay Of execution.
Had he granted the writ and or
dered the hearing, he would have
been without authority to stay the
execution.
Lane announced this morning
that he would file an appeal with
the supreme court Immediately,
which he did this afternoon. He
also announced that he would pc
tition for a writ of supercedes
granting a stay of execution to
Kirby pending a decision on the
appeal.
Governor 0lcott announced this
afternoon that, should stay of
execution be ordered for Kirby by
the supreme court, he would grant

PEACE IMPOSSIBLE
WITH SINN FEINERS
REPUDIATINC KING
Resumption of Armed Hostilities Expected
Momentarily; Failure of Negotiations Due
Primarily TO Refusal Of Irish TO Pledge
Allegiance TO British Ruler

London, Nov. 30.--(By Asso-
ciated Press )-Government circles
today expressed belief that the
Irish conference would break
down almost Immediately as a re-
suit Of the difficulties which have
arisen and that the resumption Of
armed hostilities could not be
postponed.
The alternative settlement plan
submitted by the government to
the Sim Fein representatives last
evening included the necessity for
definite undertaking by the Sim
Fein to take oath of allegiance 10
the crown.
The Sim Fein has many objec-
tions to the governments new
plan, but even if it agreed to dis
cuss this plan It will not give is
assent to the oath Of allegiance
proviso, it is stated.
Thus it appears, according 10
government officials, that the
breach In the negotiations, IL 1t
comes, as now Is feared, will take
place over the allegiance issue.
There has been hope Of pro-
longing the truce and adjourning
the negotiations for an additional
period of two months, but this
hope now has receded.
Martial Law Likely.
The moment breach occurs, II
is believed in these quarters thai
there would be imminent danger
Of the Sim Fein, on the one hand
and the police auxiliaries, on the
other, trying to get to their guns
first.
The military, 1t is indicated
would be put in charge Of affairs
in Ireland, and interference by
civilian officials with its action
would not be permitted.
A meeting Of the British rep
resentatives in the Irish confer
ence was held today. 1t was pres
sided over by Prime Minister
Lloyd-George.
