Magic City Post
VIII Build Home

The Magic City Post No. "a, OF
The American Legion will build a
permanent home in Bogalusa. This
question was decided definitely at a
regular business meeting held Tues
day night. Not only was it decided
to build this home, but from twenty
members alone the post received
pledges amounting to one thousand
dollars, and with evidences of such a
spirit present in the organization, the
Legion has no fears whatever relative
to financing such proposition.
Tbs step is probably the greatest
undertaking the local post has yet
seen fit to burden themselves with,
but in order for them to take their
place in this community and foster
those principles and ideals for which
they stand, 1t is almost imperative
that they own their own home.
On account of its peculiar organ
ization it was necessary for the To-
cal post to authorize the organization
of a club within its own membership
to be known as the Magic City Club
of the American Legion, Inc, and it
will fall upon the shoulders of this
organization to make plans and at
tend to every feature coincident with
the erection Of the home. This struc-
ture will not be elaborate, but will be
a home built for the needs of the
Legion membership and one to which
the community at large may point to
with pride.
The American Legion takes this
to announce its first
dance of the fiscal year, to be given
at the ArmorY on December Goth.

said one of the itinerants, "we did not

as sawmill towns are concerned there

general surroundings provided in Bo-

sible courtesy. The people in the
lumber business in the West are "a
fine lot, and they certainly under

up-to-date plants. There is one thing
sure, there are none of US who can
teach them anything about manufac-
turing lumber Everybody seemed to
be getting along fine with their work,

sale for their lumber"

merchant who is aso well known.
The shooting occurred at the Boseo
store on Columbia street Saturday
morning. Gulotta says he was read

does not know who fired. After the
shooting Bosco called the police and
he has been held in the parish iail

Bosco's statement to the police was
to the effect that GuIotta made
demand upon him, for $500 on last
Friday, which he refused. He told
the police that on Saturday Gulotta
returned. When Gulotta entered the
store he (Bosco) went to his roms

"The Unknown Soldier"

That which takes place today at
the National cemetery in Arlington
is symbol, mystery and tribute.
/ 1t is an entombment only in the
physical sense. 1t is rather the en-
thronement of duty and honor. This
man who died for his country is the
symbol of these qualities; far more
perfect symbol than any man could
be whose name and deeds we know.
He represents more, really, than the
unidentified dead, for we cannot
separate them spiritually from the
war heroes whose names are writ
ten on their gravestones. He-this
spirit whom we honor-stands for
the unselfshness of all.
This, of all monuments to the
dead, is lasting and immutable. So
long as men revere the finer things
of life the tomb of the nameless
hero will remain a shrine. Nor, with
the shifts of time and mind can
there be changing of values. No
historian shall rise to modify the
virtues or the faults of the soldier
He has an immunity for which
kings might pray. The years may
bring erosion to the granite but not
to the memory of the unknown.
1t is a common weakness of hu.
manity to ask the questions that car
never be answered in this life. Prob
ably none to whom the drama OF
the unknown soldier has appealed
has not wondered who, in the sun
shine of earth, was the protagonist
of today's ceremony. A logger from
the Penobscot? An orchardist from
the Pacific coast? A we'll driller
from Texas? A machinist from Con.
necticut? A lad who left his hoe to
rust among the Missouri corn? A
longshoreman from Hell's Kitchen
Perhaps some youth from the to.
,bacco fields, resting again in his
own Virginia. All that the army

used to be told by Rev. Sam Jones OF
Georgia, of lawyer charging about
in the lower regions on a donkey and
proclaiming, I'm in here, not as a
man, but as a lawyer
"What judges say off the bench is
as influential, if not so potential, as
what they say on the bench; maybe
more, because on the bench they are
supposed to be held down by set
forms and rules, while off the bench
they are supposed to speak their own
opinions.
"The chief difference in off and on
| is that it is more risky to criticise a
Judge on the bench than one off, for
the former might get you for con-
tempt of court. ."-Newberry Observ-
er.
We really do not think there is
any danger of Judge Smith fining
the Observer for contempt of his
court.
1t is undoubtedly true that what
Judges say off the bence is "as in
f1uential, if not so potential, as what
they say on the bench" For that
very reason the Press and Banner
believes that when a judge under
takes to criticise off the bench, the
constitution which he is. sworn to
defend" on the bench he is over
stepping the: mark, and is target
for criticism.
As good citizens the Observer man
and the Press and Banner man are
bound to accept the decisions of the
court as law until the contrary has
been decided, and nobody has right
under the constitution and laws Of
this country to review these decis-
ions except an appellate court. The
attempt to review the decisions OF
the courts~by the man on the street,
or the editor in his newspaper, caus-
es distrust of the courts, which
should not be. Anybody has right
to review the remarks of a, judge
made in a public speech. The one is
a declaration of the law made by an
authority which we have constituted
for that purpose. The other is some
times made in defiance Of the law
which should be defended, and in
such cases always by a man who
should not be on the bench.
But then the Observer may have
it its way if it likes. If 1T will go
with the donkey and the lawyer it
may go either as man or as editor, or
as both. But we hope it will repent
and flee from the wrath to come.

duced by himself providing for the
appointment of a farmer as one
Of the members of the Federal Re-

it were altered so as not to add one
member to the board the White
House would name a farmer
promptly. The change asked by

KORP. KERR KlBosHED OUT

korp. Kerr OF the kalone, one OF
the professors of the Greenville
Street Setback College, and some
time president of that institution, like
all other professors outlives his tai
ents and is now in his dotage. He has
about disgraced Greenville Street
"ter-boot" and is to be tried next
week for general debility as a set
back player before a jury with Col.
W. D. Wilson as foreman, the other
, members Of the jury to be selected
| by the foreman.
The specific charges against him
on which the general charge is found
ed are that he has been beaten four
straight games by Dale Barksdale, a
novitiate in the game and Col. Pat
McCaslan who learned to play the
game at old Hopewell school house
with Jim Taggart and Chief Justice
Gus Mars as teachers; that he was
first beaten with Wide Bradley as a
partner, and having placed the blame
on his partner was allowed to select
a partner, whereupon he was badly
beaten with Col. T. G. White as a
partner; that he then selected Uncle
Jim as a partner and though Uncle
Jim fed him before the game and he
was not pinched by hunger and had
plenty of ice water, he was again
beaten to a frazzle; that he again
selected Col. White as a partner and
was beaten again.
Until his trial is over he has been
forbidden to lecture in the college, in
fact he has been warned to stay off
the college grounds. At home he is
50 much in disgrace that he has slept
for two nights in the garage with the
back seat of the Shedam for bed,
and is not allowed to appear on the
front porch of the Kalone except af-
ter dark. He is so ashamed of him
self that he has had Mrs. Kerr to
build an awning on the back Of his
straw hat so that the large egg-shaped
spot which has been shining just be-
low the rim of the hat in the rear
will not be visible, and he is other
wise trying to camoufage his "cog-
nomy" until the disgrace somewhat
wears off. He even threatens to get
religion anG quit playing setback,
saying that if nobody will start a
revival for that purpose in Abbeville,
he will go over with Rev. Busshardt
to Pearl, Georgia, and get on the
wagon there. Rev. Busshardt has not
! yet decided, however, whether it
would he safe for him to take a
stranger looking just like the Korp.
into that community, and will make
some inquiries.

tells US of him is that he died in
battle. All that the heart tells is
that some woman loved him. More
than that no man shall learn. In
this mystery, as in the riddle OF
the universe, the wise wonder; but
they would not know.
What were his dreams, his ambi-:
tions? Likely he shared those COM
mon to the millions: life of peace
and honest struggle, with such small
success as comes to most who try;
and at the end the place on the
hillside among his fathers. Today
to do honor at his last resting place
come the greatest soldier of the
age. famous statesmen from other
continents, the President, the high
Judges and the legislators of his
own country, and many men who,
like himself, fought for the flag. At
his bier will gather the most re-
markable group that America has
seen. And the tomb which Fate
reserved for him is, instead of the
narrow cell on the village hillside,
one as lasting as that Of Rameses
and as inspiring as Napoleon's.
It is a great religious ceremony,
this burial today. The exaltation of
the nameless bones would not be
possible except for belief. Where
were duty and honor, the we'll
springs of victory, if mankind fear
ed that death drew black curtain
behind which lay nothing but the
dark? So all in whom the spark
of home has not died can we'll be-
lieve that we, to whom the soldier
is mystery, are not mystery to
him. They can believe that the
watchers at Arlington today are not
merely a few thousands Of the liv-
ing, but the countless battalions OF
the departed. Though he were
dead, yet shall he live"-there is
the promise to which men hold
when everything of this earth has
slipped away.
All the impressive ritual of today
would be a mockery if we did not
believe that, out in an infnity which
astronomers cannot chart or mathe-
maticians bound, the unknown SOL
dier and all the glorious dead whom
we honor in his dust are looking
down upon this little spinning ball,
conscious of our reverence. And
when noon strikes, signal for the
moment of silent prayer, few OF
those who stand with barred head
will lack conviction that the rites
at Arlington are viewed by other
than mortal eyes. Only in that spirit
NAV we honor the unknown soldier
and those who, like him, died for
this republic.
Unknown, but not unknowing.
