The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-10-27
Can 1t Be Possible?

The Times is informed that John
I. Bradley, who perhaps still claims
Desloge as his home, but who for
ABOUT eight years past has held posi-
tons in the offices Of Labor Commits
sloner W. II. Lewia et Jefferson City,
mas recently returned TO dis old home
and is working to defeat some mem
bers of the Democratic State and
county tickets. This information
comes through thoroughly reliable
sources, else it would be permitted TO
pass as unworthy of notice.
Coming as it does, we feel that it
would be little less than a crime tn
let such information go by unnoticed.
while such information may be diff
cult to believe among some of those
who are acquainted with the life and
career of John L. Bradley for a num-
Der of years past, The Times is aware
that such demeanor is not altogether
unknown. There have been at least a
Iew cases OF just as base ingratitude
oetore, but perhaps never before in
this county,
Some who have never seen such n
demonstration of ingratitude; to saw
the least. think it is impossible for The,
reason that Bradley has been at the
public trough for so many years; that
he has been honored repeatedly by the
people of this county, as Representa-
tive from this county; as State Sena-
tor from this District. and was also ac.
corded the Democratic nomination for
Collector,
Clting further their argument as to
the impossibility of Bradley now com
ing into this county, while ENJOYING
pay as Deputy Labor Commissioner,
to fight part of the Democratic ticket
they say he is still enjoying berth
IN Labor Commissioner w. H. Lewis
office, and they do not believe Mr..
Lewis would stand for such a thing,
even if Bradley's conscience was SO
deadened to all sense of shame as to
permit him to pursue such a course.
Even in the last primary, we re-
member that Bradley claimed he was
running for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Collector. but he ''forgot" to
file his declaration of such intention,
This paragon of honesty and virtue.
to hear him tell it, has hlarneyed the
people of this county out of consider
able undeseryed pastry, if present re-
ports are true. If true, then his props
should be finally kicked from under
and he be allowed to drop in the sty,
where he belongs. Nor is there any
apparent excuse for Labor Commits
sioner Lewis continuing to keep him
in his position as pap sucker since he
has disclosed himself as a political
migrate. If this is the price that must
be paid to Gov. Hyde for the privi-
lege of holding State office, then such
office holders should join the Repub-
lican party and stop camoufaging as
Democrats.

Fine Work of
Probation Officer

In July, 1918, Judge r. G. Tucker
was appointed Probation Officer and
Referee of the Juvenile Court for St.
Francois county, and ever since his
appointment the delinquent children
of the county have had an ever watch
full eye upon them. The work that
Judge Tucker has. performed for the
Juveniles ever since his appointment
as their guardian will bear the closest
inspection and stamps him as the real
friend Of the children.
Many times his work has been diff
ficult Of performance, and often those
being dealt with have doubtless
thought him harsh and severe, but
there is always an exhibition of heart
in his dealing with juveniles, and his
entire administration of that. impor-
It is doubtful if It would be possible
bear the most searching investigation.
1t is doubtful If 1t would be possible
that another man could be found in
the county who would, or could, put
into the duties of that office the time
and real heart-interest that, Judge
Tucker does, from day to day.
The following is o brief summary
of the cases that have come under
his direction, most Of which are still
under his surveillance, and all of whom
have doubtless been very materially
benefited by the manner in which the
Judge has disposed of their cases:
Number of Juveniles before him
charged with law violation. /. {. .26O
Number of orders made permit
ting transfer of custody. :. .215
Number of children taken from
parents on account of immoral
ity or neglect ................ rs
Number of children adopted by
order of court .,..,........... 81
Number Of children corrected, but
not before the @urt -. ,130
-
Total number of children look
ed after and corrected TOT
Judge Tucker is also county school
attendance officer and has dealt with
thousands of children under the COM
pulsory attendance law.

Our Idea of
Fair Criticism


The Times last week published an
article headed Football Not Civil
lied Came, which has caused more
or less writhing and twisting in this
community. 1t has also brought
forth much unfair and unchristian-
like criticism against this paper.
In the first place, that article did
not originate in. The, Times office.
Nor did the management of this paper
have anything to do with it, other than
to give it space in our columns. We
know the writer, (who was open and
fearless enough to sign his name to
his expression,) and believe him to
be responsible for his acts. 1t was
his opinion of the game of foot ball,
expressed in cold type, with few
extras thrown in, of which The
Times management was not aware.
With all the criticism, which has
been so freely expressed since that
publication, it would seem strange if
there is no one equally open and fear
less to take issue with him, in the
same manner he has employed. The
columns of this paper are freely ex-
tended for any such reply, providing
only that no insulting language is
used. A gentlemanly, frank and open
discussion of any such question will
harm no one, and may even draw
those of differing opinions more close
ly together. If one knows their po-
sition is right on any question, then
it should not be a difficult matter
to give reasons for the faith that is
in them.
The only error the management of
this paper made, as we see it, was
that the offending article was per-
mitted to pass without being edited,
as there were several somewhat per-
sonal allusions therein which we
would not have printed had we known
of them. 1t is altogether foreign to
our nature to criticise any respecta-
Bile calling, and certainly we would
not have permitted unkind references
to ministers or young ladies. Our
natural position would be to resent
any such remarks.
But that article was submitted to
the writer, over the authors name,
with the statement that it was in op-
position to football playing, and
having a very high regard for the
writer thereof, we very naturally con-
cluded that he had "stuck to his text. "
While we have never been disposed
to shift responsibility for any of our
acts, we do resent the apparent eff
fort to draw The Times into adverse
criticism for s1e publication Of that
signed article. We have the highest

Judge Straughan
Seriously Wounded

The host of warm friends through
out this part of the State of Judge
Tom Straughan, of Ste. Genevieve,
will be shocked and grieved to learn
that he was severely stabbed about
4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in his
home town while acting as a peace
maker between two men of that COM
munity, who were drunk and noisy.
Mr.. Straughan was, as is usual with
him, trying to quiet and harmonize
the beligerants, when both of them
turned on him and as is too often the
case, the peacemaker was the prin-
pipal sufferer. Mr.. Straughan was
stabbed above the heart and in the
back, but how serious the wounds may
be was not known.
Soon after this sad occurrence he
was placed aboard train 2 fer st.
Louis, where he was taken to st.
Luke's hospital for treatment. Mrs.
Straughan and daughter accompa-
MED him. Judge Straughan is one OF
the most popular and lovable men in
Ste. Genevieve county, and such a
senseless and -blooded attack up
on him is simply inexpressible. The
result of his wounds will be anxiously
awaited by anxious friends both here
and in his home county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rolla Cozean and
family visited relatives in Cromwell
Sunday and were accompanied home
by Mr.. Cozean's mother, who spent a
few days with them.
