restrial objects.

In An address to electrical engineers
~ London distinguished scientist
tnus defined an electron. An atom Il
ordinarily associated with charge,
sno force is required to separate the
charge from the atom. The atomic
charge when separated is called an
eiectron. In an electrolyte-i. e, q
substance decomposed by an electric
current-there is bodily transfer of
atoms with their charges; in a metal
Tic conductor the charges are handed
on as electrons from atom to atom.
IN the discharge through highly rare
NED gases the electric current Is in
its most simple form, for here there
is flow of electrons, travelling by
themselves, of disembodied charges or
electric ghosts. Electrons, It should be
added, are the fastest moving Of all
known terrestrial objects. their speed
being one-tenth that of light, which
Is 10000 miles per second.-Washing-

Thrt ugh the dark ways of the H. licit liquor world one word strikes terror to the hearts of those who will face the muzzle of an agents gun without a quiver.
 Highjacker!
 He is the criminal who preys upon criminals. taking by violence that which was obtained by stealth. He Is the lone gray wolf on the heels of the coyote pack. And in his heart Is neither mercy for the victim nor fear of the averaging law.

 No formal complaint Is lodged against the highjacker by his victims who escape with their lives. In the nature of the case that must be true. Whether pirate or brigand the high jacker selects as victims only those not entitled to the laws protection. The victims themselves are engaged in crime; If they came to the au- thorities to complain. they would. in effect, write out their own commit ment papers to the penitentiary. If he falls into the hands of the law the highjaCker Is highjacker no longer. but bootlegger ar bootleg

 Our knowledge of highjack kers comes In scraps through under ground channels. Wherever our men can put a pipeline to the inner cir cle of bootleg councils they bring in word of the bCundless dread of high jackers in which the whole Illicit fraternity lives. Sometimes an anony- nous letter brings in a scrap of in formation. Onco in awhile a boot legger apologies for resisting our men, saying. "I though you were highjackers."

 There is no knowing or guessing the extent of hlghjacking and Of the violence which goes with it-of sea men slain on the decks of their crim- inal craft; of good ships first gone wrong and then to Davy Jones; Of landsmen murdered along the inland highways.
 The story of the highjacker reads like tale of bygone days when might made right; unhappily, it is neither history nor fiction. but q rec ord of the facts of 1928.

Union Representatives Upon
 Body Declare Hooper And Barton Incapable Of Under

 Has Forgotten That He Is Member Of Public Tribunal
 And Not Brotherhood Head

CHICAGO, July 3O.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)--A. o. Wharton and E. F. Grable, labor members of the United States railroad labor board, in a dissenting opinier to a decision made public today, declared that the federated shop crafts strike of 1922 wa5 due probably to the "Incapabil- ity of Chairman Ben w. Hooper and R. M. Barton to understand the value placed upon trade union ethics by bona fide trade unions"
 Chairman Hooper and Judge Bar ton are members of the public group Of tho board.
 The statement was made in re- port dissenting from 8 decision by the board ordering the wages of em- ployes of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient railroad and the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railroad company of Texas reduced to the wage scale that prevailed at the ter imitation of federal control of the carrier.
 The chairman Of the board and Judge Barton. in referring to the at titude of their employees Gin this easel iu a manner peculiarly their own. and without foundation, in fact, said, in effect, that the employees had admitted that reduction should be made" said the dissenting opinion.
 O O O
 Incapability Of Understanding.
 The members of the board, in placing such an Interpretation on the statement of the employees, in the opinitn of the undersigned, indicates incapability of understanding the value placed upon trade union ethics by bona fide trade union, and prob ably due to this same disability may be found the answer to the suspen- sion of work July l, 1922, by the shopmen and others, which resulted in a loss of hundreds of millions of dt liars to the carriers, the employees and the public"
 Hooper Replies.
 "The virulent nature of the dis senting opinion would seem to indi- cate that its writer has momentarily lost sight of the fact that he Is no longer the head of the striking shop men. but Is now a sworn member of . public tribunal designed to protect the people from the sinister effect of railroad strikes" declared Chairman Hooper in supporting the decision.

STUMPS KEPT BUSY AS
 PRIMARY DAY WEARS
Five Candidates Waging Bitter
 Fight For Mississippi Governor

JACKSON, Miss, July 3o.-With the first state primary just eight days away the five candidates for gover- nor are using stump proxies" in some parts of the state to speak in their behalf.
 This Is due to the fact that each candidate cannot cover as much terri- tory as he wants to in the last few days of the race.
 Senette Conner, speaker of the house of representatives, will close his campaign for governor at Tupelo on next Monday night.
 Thedoree c. Bilboa, former gover. nor, will address a crowd at McComb on the eve of the primary.
 Lester c. Franklin, former state senator. Jill complete his campaign at rally in Vicksburg.
 Henry l.. Whitfield, former presi- dent of the Mississippi College for Women, will deliver his address at West Point.
 Judge Percy Bell. another guber- material candidate, has not announced his closing engagement.
 Indications are a second primary will be necessary in the governors race.
