Detectives are at Work
on Case. Loss $4,000.
Bank Fully Insured.

Although detectives and county Of
ficials are working on the case no ar
rests have been made as yet in con-
nection with the Blue River State
Bank robbery, which took place be
tween one and 1:30 a. m last Thurs
day morning
$4,000 in cash and $1,000 in register
ed Liberty bonds were stolen from
the safe. The bonds are vaiueless ex-
cept to the owners who will lose
nothing The bank is fully insured
and also loses nothing.
Entrance was made into the bank
by prying a side window. Escape
was made through a rear door. Once
inside the robbers picked three locks
without difficulty and ran down"
time lock on the bank safe, probably
using a magnet to accomplish the
latter difficult task. They did not
bother the vault.
That the robbery was accomplished
by skilled criminals is positively in
evidence. Only experts could enter a
bank safe without the use Of high ex-
pIosives
Herbert Hubanks, a crippled tele-
phone operator, located three blocks
from the bank in the exchange, heard
suspicious sounds about one o'clock.
He looked out and saw two men on
the office pole, saving the main cable.
Huibanks was admonished to stay
where he was He went to the rear
of his second story quarters and saw
man patrolling che street adjacent.
Hubanks thought he was unarmed al
though later a repeating shotgun was
found in his rooms. He made no re-
port until two hours later when the
robbers had left town.
At least half dozen robbers in two
fast cars made the raid. Various re-
ports exist that they were seen going
through Fennimore about a. m. 1t
is said their cars were making 80
miles an hour 1t is assumed that a
gang working out of some good-sized
town, picked Blue River as a good
place for a raid. Probably the town
was well gone over and the plans laid
Then, in the dead of night, came the
robbery.
In addition to cutting the telephone
cable the visitors broke into the
depot and smashed the telegraph in
struments. AS a result the town was
isolated and word did not get through
to the sheriff until several hours after
the robbery. He visited the village
at once.
The Blue River bank has assets Of
$4,000 by it's last statement It. is
owned by J. Robert Coumbe of Blue
River, president; J. Robert CoumDe
Jr., cashier, and DR.. W. R. Coumbe of
Richland Center.
The astounding part of the affair is
the ease with which the modern time
lock on the bank safe was overcome.
The method used is to run the clocks
rapidly ahead until the tumblers au-
tomaticaIly unlock. 1t is said that
but two or three men in the country
are able to do this. All are expert
"yeggs." Vault experts, employed by
safe companies, can open safe in
couple of hours work. At Blue River
it is presumed the safe was opened in
perhaps thirty minutes.

Flashes
"Life is ShOrt-Tell the Truth"
Considerable Interest
In a Municipal Beach.

Considerable interest is being evil
denced in a municipal lake and bath
ing beach. The little pool at Schrein-
er park, insufficient water and ali, is
the most popular place in Lancaster.
That larger place with ample facil-
tiles for everybody would be far more
popular goes without saying.
Last week two local men took the
trouble to inspect probable sites. Sew
eral good sites were found. Each had
abundant water supply. 1t was APP
parent that at no great expense a
good dam could be built once the site
was procured at reasonable cost.
The Herald would like to see a
movement started for a good beach.
Anyone wanting to see what it would
look like can do so by driving TO
Mineral Point There five or six
acres of water is empounded. A con-
crete dam affords ample safety. The
place has a good pier, refreshment
pavilion, boats, lockers. etc. The
whole cost a few thousand dollars.
What we have been spending on
baseball would get this started. Prob
ably one years donation would COM
plete it. We recommend private sub
scription and will head the list with
$50 More if needed,

eJOhnsOn's Election
Indicates Unrest.

The election of Magnus Johnson,
Farmer-Labor candidate tor U. ..
Senator in Minnesota, over Gov j. A.
o. Preus, indicates unrest 1t shows
that the republican party is totterlng
in the Northwest. And that the demo-
crat party has disappeared. Carley,
the democrat candidate, got less than
3 percent of the total vote.
This was to be expected. Prosper
itv. partially returned to the business
man and manufacturer, has failed TO
reach the farmer. In fact agrlcultur-
al conditions are little short or APP
paIling. 1t is to be expected that the
farmer vote will rally to man VINO
promises relief, although he may be
entirely unable to deliver when the
time comes.
Politically, a third party may dis
rupt the republican party in the next
election. The solid South will stay
democrat and if a relief from pr0hIbl-
ton is promised, New York and
other pivotal wet states will go demo-
crat. That would mean AL. Smith or
some other wet as standard bearer.
The Northwest, if present conditions
continue, will go farm-labor This
would leave the republicans rock
ribbed New England, where a hlgh
tariff has brought prosperity and sat
jgfied the various elements.
Under present circumstances we
look for a democrat victory IN 1874.

Lack of knowledge at
Ration of Difficulties

Our honest conviction is tnaC rush.
ing after one idea or another, one
candidate or another, one panacea or
another, in an effort to relieve econo-
mic distress is a striking evidence
fiat we all lack knowledge.
Where knowledge is lacking pre-
iudice takes its place. The demagog,
ever playing on prejudice, finds this
golden opportunity. Promising every
thing, he wins his purpose. Later on
the victim finds he has been deluded
again.
knowledge to face the facts of life
TO sift the false from the true, to sup
plant reason with prejudice-this we
need most. The training must come
early. 1t begins with good school
education but does not end with grad
uation day. He who seeks knowledge
must keep his brain busy and his
ewes at work as long as he lives.
When we attain knowledge in
reasonable degree the day OF the
.demagog and catch-penny device to
procure prosperity will pass because
neople will see the futility OF these
things. And they will know better
how to deal with clever and unscrup-
ul0us influences constantly at work
making things easy for themselves at
the expense of the public.
Don't go back on education. us
our only sure safeguard
