OUR CoLoRED POLICEMAN

All good citizens will unite in de-
nouncing the actions OF one Louis An

Kentucky. who wac convicted in police

Wheel!ng's cclorcd policeman. Accord
Ing 10 the evidence. Officer Turner had
given Andrews and his companions no
occasion whatever for complaint. He
wa $ at his post in traffic box whom
the three approached. stood on the COR
ner and hurled gibes at the officer. In
stead Of arrest!ng them at once. ne
merely ordered them 70 move on. where
upon Andrews. Il is said. threw q lemon
at Turner. Andrews and one OF his
two companionus we're then arrested by
the policeman. which was the only pos
sibls thing he could do. Andrews, the
testimony showed, resisted because the
OFFICER was black. and called him an Of
fenslve name. Two fnes were assessed
oSr Andrews. Ave and costs and ten and

The Intell!Eencer does not believe
that the actions OF Andrews represent
the attitude Of the people OF the South

Der OF people from that section. But

PARENTS AS BAD AS Chill
DREN

After demanding that young girls
have chaperones or stay away from
public dance halls. County Probation Of
eicer c. B. Pelley has been aston!shed TO
dnd that mothers OF many misses OF
tender age are accompanying them so
that they may take part in the rather
questionable pastime OF dancing with
men OF mature age. Included are num-
srous girls as young os II years.
This calls attention 10 a fact not or
dinarily stressed. but nevertheless we'll
knowu-that great many parents need
instruction In morals as much or more
than their children. In fact. when
very :uung girl appears At public dance
halls or appears 10 be conducting her
self improperly Il will be found in al
most every case that she comes from
a home In which parental discipline has
been extremely poor.
Some fathers and mothers seem TO
have the idea that the school author
tiles and the officers OF the low are
responsible for the correct bringing up
Of their children. Such mistake Is
almost criminal. Those who have made
a close study Of the subject. say that
child's character is formed before the
age Of six. and that the boy or Girl
uho IS spoiled" up to that time never
gets over it-that the broad foundations
laid during those early years will con-
t!nue to exert their good or bad !ntlu-
ence 70 the grave.
Mothers who accompany their very
young daughters TO the public dance
halls do so in most cases because they
fear that Il they do not accede to her
reques:. the girl will do worse. We have
Far too few parents who realize that
there are crises in which a good sound
thrashtng Is the best possible thing for
the childs future. - l.ttle more
strength OF character In parents would
be probably reflected In their children.

OF Vital Concern.
The question being discussed is
what proportion Of Mrs. Browns votes
were motivated by opposition to the
recluse of S street, and how deeply en-.
. bedded in stern conviction Is that pro
portion. The politicians are OF the
opinion that answering this question
correctly is of more vital concern to
Candidate Nicely than to any other in

campaign with what he started Oct

for the nomination? That's the ques'
tom state politicians are toying with
today. Can he afford not to do so?
Can he afford to do so? He had the
backing in the primary of the Chiffon

A Dilemma.
It Is freely admitted by politicians OF
Major Neely's own party that he finds
himself confronted with most vital
dilemma. 1t Is also conceded by them
that this problem IS accompanied by
another almost as great and having
close kinship. 1t Is this: In the person

Truthful Old Gentleman Recalls tt Mind a Catch That Was Really
 Worth While.

"It was just such a day as this" said the old fisherman. There was a warm drizzly rain falling. with light wind from the south, a most favorable day to fish. It was down on the south fork along in the late Nineties that made the big catch"
 "How many did you get?" l asked, as I moved my chair closer, so as not to miss any of the story.
 Well, it was no use to try to count them" said the old fisherman. as he refilled his pipe. q was raking hay down on big meadow near the river. when a big school of salmon trout came up, so I just drove back and forth across the river and raked them out, you could see piles of fish for miles on both sides of the river"
 "That sure must have been some big school of fish," I remarked.
 Well, that was the most fish l ever seen," he said as he tilted back in his chair and crossed his legs .'They had to put in new piers under all the bridges on the river: those fish had completely worn them off when they rubbed them coming up the river"

Horsepower of Human Voice.

It was discovered some years ago by a French investigator, who pub lished the results of his experiments in the Journal de Physique that the average male, speaking for one hour, expends sufficient energy to enable him, in another sphere of work, to lift twO-pOund weight 40 inches from the ground every minute. But that is only one-fifth of the energy wasted by a typical tub-thumping open-air speaker, who might as easily be lift. ing coal from the floor to his shoul- der. The female voice, however, is of quite a different caliber, for it's mechanism requires so little horse power to operate that woman can, 1t Is asserted, talk four times as long and four times as easily as man for the same expenditure of energy.
