Law Upheld in
Supreme Court

SALEM, Ore, March 21.--The state
supreme court today upheld the con-
stitutionality of the Oregon hanging
law. in decision growing out of the
case of John Rathie and Elvie Kirby
convicted murderers OF Till Taylor,
Umatilla county, oregon, sheriff, over
q year ago.
Kirby had appealed to the supreme
court after the circuit court of Marion
county had denied writ of habeas
corpus. He attacked the hanging law
as a violation Of the ancient bill of
rights. Other convicted murderers
granted reprieve by the governor un-
til July Z pending the outcome OF the
Kirby case. We're affected BY the de-
cision. Richard NJ. Brumfield, Rose
burg murderer, with appeal pending
in his own right, is one Of these.

First Official
Day of Spring
Is Like January

CHICAGO, March 21.-(I. n. ST.
The first official day of spring found
many sections of the Middle West af-
flicted with snow, floods and temper
ature very reminiscent of January.
Sections of Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin are the hardest hit, Snow and
sleet storms crippled the wire service
throughout that territory and ham,
pered transportation.
In southern Indiana the Wabash
river and other streams topped their
banks and inundated large areas of
farm lands, according to reports re-
ceived here. Heavy rains caused the
overflow.
Heavy rains caused streams to rise
to flood stage in many sections of Illi-
nois, damaging farmers crops and
menacing several towns and cities.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BANANA.
Answer: Try stamping the other
foot. If any.
Here Is another letter and a word
OF advice which may be helpful to
many Contestants:
Dear Mr.. Phaik:
am a traffic policeman at Penn
sylvania and Market SITS, and l wish
20 enter your contest for the rubber
bungalow, as 1 have a lively family.
My parents object, as 1 am only 80
years old. 1 am heartbroken.
Yours tearfully,
RED HAW.
Answer: 1t is a rubric of sound
journalism to foster respect for and
obedience to authority. 1 can only
advise, therefore. that you go right
ahead and tell your papa nothing
about 1t.
Still another interesting communi-
cation follows:
Dear Nj. Phaik:
am a high school teacher and
have asked my pupils to bring sub
scriptions in lieu Of red apples. One
little bum refused and 1 flunked him
back into rompers. Now I read in
your articles that ATessrs. Lowd- Noyes
and Company will permit the leading
Contestants to buy several hundred
subscriptions with their own money
on the last night OF the contest.
Therefore. / am writing to ask:
/. What chance has school
teacher?
?. What chance has anybody?
3. Amt there no justice?
Yours very truly.
LERNA LESSON.
Answer: First question, No; second
question, No; third question, None.
There is tragedy in this little com
nlunication. All. what high lights and
shadows on life one sees from the
chair OF a contest editor Sometimes
it makes me cry: I'm so soft-hearted.
Read this and weep:
Dear Mr.. Phaik:
am a lameduck politician and a
veteran sergeant Of the Regular
Army OF the Unemployed, stationed at
Military Park. Many of my friends
are willing to subscribe, but none will
trust me with their subscription
money. 1 have an honest face.
Sincerely.
TERRY BULL BUMB.
Answer: I am afraid your face Is
against you in this work.
Here is an enterprising, business
like letter of the highest contest
type. exemplfying the fine dignity Of
the better class of Contestant:
Dear Mr.. Phaik:

sent to thousands Of business &C.

Dear Sir and Friend:
Real money has been invested by
the writer in your goodwill toward

He threatened to introduce an ord
