Chairman Will Woods Awful Predica-
ment.

1t is difficult for the friends of Will
r. Wood of Indiana to think of him in
his new job without tears running to
their eyes. Representative Wood has
been made Chairman of the Repub-
lican Congressional Campaign Com
mittee to succeed DR.. Fess of Ohio,
who has gone home to make his last
will and testament and sorder his
political shroud prior to being pomer-
ened this fall. Representative Wood,
who is stalwart Hoosier and the
same kind of Republican, is some
times given to speaking his inner most
thoughts out loud. He did this on
November II last on the floor of the
House, when he said:
II know the very serious condition
that is prevailing throughout the land.
I am only speaking the truth when I
say that the people of this country
employed in severy vocation and in
every character of business are Civ
ing this Congress hell. They are do
ing 1t because we have done nothing
to stimulate business. They are do
ing it because we have have done
nothing to give employment to the
unemployed. They are doing it be-
cause we have done nothing to bene-
fit the farmer and stimulate the price
of the farmers products"
This is the deliberate utterance oi
the man who has been given the task
of re-electing this Do Nothing Con
gress.
In order to make the paradoxical
situation complete in all details, it il
suggested that Secretary OF War
Weeks should be made Vice. Chair.
man Of the Republican Oongressiona
Campaign Committee, for it was Mr.
Weeks who said that this Congress
had reached the lowest ebbi in the his.
tory of the country.
No political party was ever in ,
worst predicament. The very mai
selected for the task of attempting tt
reelect the Republican members o
this Congress, publicly admits that i
is a o-Nothing Congress and tha
everybody is justly ''giving this Con
gress hell"

Mexicans Dislike Checks.

It is said that almost every Mexican
In professional or business life carries
on his person anywhere from $500 to
$500. Even the poor Indian in his
blanket can more than likely produce a
greater sum than the average traveller.
It seems no uncommon thing for q
Mexican of the middle class to carry
between 1000 and 1000 pesos on his
person. The check idea seems to have
taken but small hold as yet, especially
when amounts Of less than $1,000 are
concerned. They consider it much
easier to pay spot cash than to give q
check for amounts of $50 and 500.

Autocratic Japanese Police.

One of the most undemocratic insti-
tutions of Japan is its police force.
The japanese police work on the
theory that they are the masters
rather than the servants, of the peo-
pie, and their commands are given
with grim finality and naughty Of
fetal air of arrogance, and they by no
means encourage those on their beats
to be friendly. A three-foot sword at
their side helps their military dignity
The police have their good qualities,
however, as they are morally upright,
and have a keen sense of duty. This
latter is mostly marked by the fact
that although they are paid q very
low wage, 40 to so yen. about the
same as a japanese scavenger, they
do not strike for more, holding that it
would be violation of public trust,

Lore of the Candelion.

It is an old custom to blow the featll

french word, dent de lion, Signifyng q

Observation shows that it's easier
to heat several irons than one. II
takes less heat for the amount OF
work that's accomplished. You are
not so likely to burn your irons ano
the irons help retain the heat when
once applied. So many men find they
can work to advantage by having sew
eral irons in the fire at the same
time. That means they must be ready
to give attention to each iron when
it's ready for the anvil. 1t requires
knowledge, headwork and activity.
There can be no loafng when once the
forge begins to heat.--Grit.

w. Walter Strother.


William Walter Strother, aged 4S
years, months and days, born near
Lesterville, Mo-, met death Saturday,
July 18th, after returning to his home !
in Coulterville, where he had resided
most of the time since his marriage on
August Sth, 1921, to Mrs. Anna Sharp
of that city.
Some one in Coulterville telephoned
Mr.. John Gilmore, of st. Louis, near
friend of tn deceased. Mr.. Gilmore
located the deceased's daughter, Miss
Zella, at Washington, Mo-, where she
and her mother are now living, after
O'Clock Sunday evening. Mr.. Stroth-
er's daughter .arrivedi in Coulterville,
with her grandmother and aunt, both
of Kansas, monday morning at $3.50
O'Clock and there learned the real facts
of her fathers death.
Mrs. Anna Strother and daughter,
Naomi, told how the tragedy happen
ed. The second wife of the deceased
said "Bill," as they called him, came
home from st. Louis, where he had
been looking after some contracting
work, and asked his wife if the boys
had had their supper. She said she
replied "no.n Then they started
quarreling over the two boys. Mr..
Strother told her he had daughter
working and making her own living,
and the boys had to do likewise. Mrs.
Strother told her husband to 60 and
tell the boys, tapping him on the
chest with light stroke; he then
started out of the room. Then her
two sons, Ralph and Hubert, who had
been standing by window outside,
came came in the front door. In the
meantime her oldest son went to the
barber shop and got his gun and came
back with Mrs. Strother's nephew,
who took her out of the house and
across the street, and the two step

unknown reason. Mr.. Strother's life
ended in the small bed room on the
bed, after nine shots had been fired
six of them entering his chest. He
said something about his glasses, but
his daughter could not find out what
it was, only that he called for his
daughter. By the time the physician
reached the house, Mr.. Strother was
breathing his last.
Mr.. Strother had told his daughter
several times of having trouble with
the boys.
Miss zella says it was the hardest
time in her life to undergo all of this.
She made arrangements for respect
able funeral. Her father left her
$4,000 life insurance, and the same
amount to his wife, Anna. He was in
good standing in the Odd Fellows.
The funeral was conducted from
the home Tuesday morning at 10
O'Clock by Rev. Wright of the M. E.
Church of Coulterville. The choir
sang "Abide with Me-" "God Will
Take Care of You," and Beautiful
Isle of Somewhere"
/ Mr.. Strother leaves to mourn his
death mother of independence, Kan
sas, his sister, Myrtle, and sister, Mrs.
Pratt, of Longton, Kansas, a brother
in Bartlesville, Ok Tacoma, and one
daughter, zella, of Washington, Mo.
The family extends thanks for SYM
pathy shown.

quest of member of the family of
the deceased. ED REGISTER.

RONTON. MO- THURSDAY AUGUST 8, 1922

That's what keeps "Pap" so young in
spite of his snowy locks-he is straw
boss of the Assembly grounds there
each .summer, and he runs around
with the chickens and kids for few
weeks. Be it known, however, Mrs.
Pap is wise, and knows how handsome
hubby is, so she is discreetly "among
those present" to see that he parts his
hair on the side and smokes pipe in
stead of cigarette. Having to take
the first train at Ironton, Monday, as
the slow train, which stopped at Ar
cadia didn't connect to suit US at Pop
lar Bluff, we expected to take taxi
for Ironton when the bride deci ded
for US that we'd walk it with her for
our health. We did. So nice to have
someone to decide for you. The
happiest man in the world is a hem
pecked husband, when she knows just
how hard to peck without bringing

some work of thinking for ones self.
To make short story long, we
walked that mile and half with her,
and felt the same old-time happiness
of the younger lover of some days
back. Then that lunch together at
the Cafe IN Ironton. Nothing hot but,
a ham sandwich, iced tea, pie and ice
cream, with, her smearing smiles over
it all, made meal fit for the gods.
Then a call on Whitworth and Ell
tor EliAke, dean of journalism. Whit
worth told the bride just what he
thought of us and our lectures there
some ~ years ago, while we slood by
and blushed like school boy, trying
to dig hole in the floor with the toe
of our right hind foot.
At the REGISTER Office We enjoyed a
long chat with the Sage of Arcadia
Valley, and both OF us felt inspired and
instructed for the time spent with this
man who is too sensible to be pessim-
istic and decay. 1t is always to us a
pleasure incompatible to- chat with
AXE, whose intellect fills his talk with
flashes of wit and wisdom and you see
one who refuses to keep back with the
age through which he has past, but
who lives in the Eternal Present.
"Let's take taxi to the station,
dear.n
"No, We'll walk. I need some ex.
ercise, and you can lose some fat tt

Sequel-we walked. Nearly half a
mile. We were hot as lizard on 6

as rose at sunrise. Glad the train
