From Mr.. Patterson.

Editor Register-Last week was a
gloomy, rainy week indeed, but to
one who loves nature he can always
see beauty every where. While l was
walking along the railroad just east
of Arcadia last week, on one of those
cloudy afternoons, when it appeared
that not ray of sunshine could pene-
trate the thick clouds that hung over
head, cast my eyes to the west and
there, over on the far away hill side,
the sun was shining brightly, while
nota ray could be seen where I stood,
and everything was dark and gloomy.
This observation appeared to me to
be miniature picture of the life of
man, for often when the clouds of
sorrow, disappointment and. adverse
conditions shut out every ray of hope
in life, we look away from ourselves
to Christ our Savior and the gloom of
life wholly disappears, and CLEAN of
hope Or sunshine .penetrates every
nook and corner of our souls. This
teaches us that there is no real tangible
lasting happiness in this life, but that
far beyond this 'svale of tears" there
is eternal happiness and sunshine,
where not again will the gloom of
dependency come to those whose
names are found written in the 'tBook
of Life.'
Not long ago we had the pleasure of
meeting our good friend, MIR. E. M.
Logan, of Belleview.
It is reported that Mr.. Whitworth
of Arcadia last week sold his farm,
one mile south ofArcadia, to gentle
man from Poplar Bluff, consideration
81 900.
From what we can observe and
hear, it is very evident that prohibi-
ton does not prohibit. Then again
let one carefully study the circuit
court docket and see whether or not
crime has beeu lessened in conse-
quence of our so-called prohibition.
There is evidently something radically
wrong, and unless the law is more
nearly enforced, the now existing
prohibition law is comparatively q
nonentity.

Senator McKellar Tells of Refusal of Re-
publicans to Investigate.

Ever since it came to light that
there was traffic in Office and gener-
al disregard of the civil service regu-
lations, Senator McKellar (Dem.,
Tenn.,) has been attempting to have
the whole matter investigated by the
Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads 1T was het who made 4he
chargesand first exposed the traffic
ing In offices. In commenting on his
inability to obtain an investigation,
Senator McKellar said:
"The facts about that particular
matter are that the Republican Ma
tional Committeeman of Tennessee is
named John D. Overall. He was the
Republican referee and official dis.
penser of patronage in Tennessee.
Through letters and checks and other
documentary evidence it was found
that Mr.. Overall was selling his in
fuence in the selection of postmasters
and other civil service employees.
From one man he would collect $40
and from another $25, and the checks
were presented as proof, showing
where he had received the money.
He made an explanation of it in
which he admitted he had received
the money, but that he had contribut-
ed it to the Republican campaign
fund.
ST sought to get a hearing before
the Post Office Committee. The COM
mittee did not grant a hearing on the
matter. I thought it was matter
that the committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads ought to look into
and ought to examine into. I made
specific charges, setting them out in
detail, signed my name to them, sub
mitted copies of the Cancelled checks
showing Mr.. Overall's name on the
back of them, and submitted his ad-
mission that he had received the
money for his influence in bartering
those civil service positions. The re-
cult was, Mr.. Overall came here and
had conferences with the Postmaster
General and others, and settlement
was said to have been entered into In
some way by Mr.. Overall that here
after he was not to have the influence
that he had formerly enjoyed in the
distribution Of patronage. ] was very
glad to hear that. A man like Mr..
Overall, who sells his influence, and
especially for civil service appoint
ments, ought not to have any influence
with any administration"

 UNDER PROTECTION
Only Mail Trains Will Be 0p- erated Unless Troops Are Withdrawn, Union Off,
 ciaIS Say
By Associated Press

Bloomington, H., July 11.-Chica- go and Alton railway engineers, firemen, trainmen and conductors, members of the four big brother hoods voted this afternoon not to en- ter the railroad yards or shops as long as state troops are on guard there.
 Union officials ordered their men to keep the mail trains running but all other passenger service and all freight trains will be halted unless the railroad can deliver the equip ment to the men outside the troop zone.

 Seek to Prevent Trouble
 While the four brotherhoods were acting today the striking shopmen moved to avert possible disorder about the shops by urging their IuefnntFd At otd9 aW a1 ittdftiiiE pun cts to nine to q post aud instrncting the pickets to help break up crowds.
 The day passed quietly at the shops. Nearly 10 non-union workers arrived from Chicago this morning and began preparing trains and en- zines to take the road.
 Considerable resentment was ex- pressed among the strike pickets to> day because of the trainmen haul jng the strike breakers. There were hints about noon that Mayor Jones and Sheriff Morrison would be run out of town" if they did not comply with the request from strike sympa- thizers that the troops be recalled.
 Sheriff Morrison dispatched dep uty to a luncheon of the Yung Busi- ness Mems club at downtown hotel and ordered 70 of the members. wno had been sworn in as special dep uties, to report to the courthouse at once. They were held all after noon, but no trouble developed.
 200 Shots Were Fired
 An official report that only four shots were fired last night resulted in seven citizens living near the shops sending 3 telegram to the governors office declaring 200 shots had been fired at their homes.
 A reporter, who spent the night in the yards with the troops. reported that about 200 to 300 shcts were fired by sentinels at o'clock after two shots had been fired by snipers. One sergeant told an Associated Press correspondent he personally fired six shots and that his squad alone dis charged about 50 to so. Boys playing near the shops today picked up doz- ems of empty shells.
 Two machine companies dug in to- day and completed the shop defepses. This afternoon all guard posts were strengthened where snipers were ac- tive last night. more than a dozen men with automatic rifles were concealed in coal cars.

B|G FOUR LEADERS TOHOLD MEETING

 Be Taken Up
Rx As.ncIntnd rrnaa

Chicago, July 11.-With state troops and United States deputy marshals on guard in half dozen states to avert violence and prevent with the movement of the mails or interstate commerce, leaders of the "big four" railroad brotherhoods and railway executives tonight were hurrying to Chicago to confer tomorrow on issues growing out of the shopmen's strike.
 At Bloomington. H., where state
 troops have been guarding the
 Chicago and Alton railway shops.
 engineers. ffremcn. trninmen and
 conductors. members of the four
 big brotherhoods, voted today not
 to enter the shops or yards ns
 long as troops are tastioned there.
 The matter of working with
 guards and state troops on duty
 was expected to he one of the
 matters taken up at tomorrow's
 meeting.
 Another Issue to be discussed will be the alleged insistence of the car rtsrs that members of the Big Four do work regularly assigned to the crafts now on strike. The railroad labor board last week rendered an opinion that the members of one craft of workmen were not required to do the work of another union whose members were on strike unless they did so voluntarily. Members Of the Big Four unions have also that rolling stock has not been kept in condition since the strike of the shopmen, engineers claiming that engines with defective brakes, headlights and air equipment had been turned over 10 them.
 Not to Strike
 D. W. Helt, president of the of Railroad Signal Ment today announced that his 1000 mem. bers would not strike at this time but expected to open new negotia tons with Individual carriers regard ing their grievances. If unable to reach an agreement, tho entire mat ter will be referred to the railroad labor board. he said.
 Tine shop crafts leaders today were in receipt of adyices that IS railroads had made conciiiatory expressions looking toward a settlement of the strike and that some were comforting with the system federation commit tees.
 No settlement will be made, how ever except on a national basis, tho union heads insisted. insisting that the railroads deal with the six Inter shop unions as whole.

 Different Ways
By Associated Pres.

Washington, July 11.-President Harding's proposals for arbitration to end the suspension of work in unionized coal mining are still in sus- pension tonight awaiting final an- swers from the mine operators and union officials to whom they were directed.
 At the White House 1t was said the President did not expect defi- nite answers from the bituminous industry before Saturday. though the anthracite mine owners were ex pected to respond tomorrow. Tho administration view was clearly stated that the settlement plan out lined was the best in the situation. offering an ideal method of dispute adjustment without force.
 Several inconclusive sessions of the coal mine operators who represented the industry at the conference called by the President ten days ago. were held today, but An adjournment was finally taken until Sunday.
 Ogie Visits Harding
 A. M.

SENATE AGRAR|AN BODY AYREPORT
 |NFAVOR IF FORD
Endorsement by Ladd Believed by Southern Congressman to Be Omen of Govern ment Acceptance of
 Ford Offer
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Axs-Herold.
 bU0 DaytBOu RuiIdIng


 Washington, July 11.-(Special. ] The indorsement of the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals by Senator Ladd, republican, North Dakota. has inspired southern senators with the hope that the Senate committee on agriculture will favorably report that offer.
 senator Smith of South Carolina. ranking democratic member uf the committee, has agreed to match his wits with the chairman of the com mittee. Senator Norris of Nebraska, Tn securing action by the commit tee this session of Congress. Until Senator Ladd embraced the Ford of fer, 1t was generally thought that the republican committee strength would be sufficient to secure a post ponement of action until after the elections.
 Situation Altered
 The detection of Ladd, however. has changed the face of the sltua- ton, five democrats, Senators Smith of South Carolina. Ransdell of Lou is,ana, Harrison of Mississippi, lief lin of Alabama. and Caraway of Ar kansas, have always supporte the Ford offer. The other democratic member, Senator Kendrick of Wy ominB, favors the Ford bid but would reduce the proposed lease period from 100 to 50 years. Two republi- can members. Senators Cappcr of Kansas and Ladd of North Dakota. favor the offer although the former will urge amendments
 Underwood Predicts
 The vote apparently will be tied. to s. Senators Underwood of Ala bama, and Harris of Georgia, neith- CT members of the committed, but both ardent in their support of the Ford offer. risked the prediction to- night that Ladd. as head of the non partisan movement in the northwest, would influence kendrick and Cap per to such extent that they Jill no longer demand amendments. and would be able to induce Senator John son of South Dakota talso in the territory of the non-partlsan move- menD to come bodily into the Ford camp.
 In that event, the vote in the com mittee would be 3 to ' in favor of Ford. In the Senate. 13 republicans will be necessary if the democrats are to put the Ford offer through. Other than members of the commit tee the only republicans known to favor the Ford offer are Senators Townsend and Newberry of Michi- gan.
 If the vote is delayed until after the election of coming fall. Michi- gan senators might not prove so loyal in their support of their fel- low statesman.
