Neelyville Hero

A little child sitting in the middle
of railroad track, playing, and un-
mindful of the great danger.
Missouri Pacific fast mail train No
Z approaching at high rate of speed.
Grown men and women saw the
danger They turned their backs so
that they would not see The little child
ground TO horrible death under the
train wheels.
A newsboy approaching on a bicycle,
saw the baby. Quick as a flash he
leaped from his wheel and dashed on
to the railroad track. The baby was
saved by only a fraction Of a second
This happened at Neelyville, Mo-, one
day recently when the little three year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Turner.
formerly of Pocahontas, was saved
from a horrible death by the quick
and fearless action of a Neelyville
newsbOy.
The newsboy, whose name is Harry
Penrod, is only twelve years of age but
everyone in southeast Missouri is talk
ing Of his wonderful feat and praising
him as the greatest hero in this section
Of the country.
The Turner baby had wandered on
the track and no one saw him there
until the fast train was almost upon
him. Harry saw the baby on the track
and at a glance saw the locomotive
bearing down at tremendous speed.
He leaped from his bicycle, dashed
madly down the street and, making a
regular football flying tackle fell upon
the child and together they whirled off
the track just as the train thundered
by.

priceless heritage in after years. Is

SERVE THE LORD with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.
For the Lord is good: his mercy is
everlasting: and his truth endureth to
all generations.-Psalm 100 q. ..
But THOU, WHEN THOU PRAY
EST, enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy
Father which Is in secret; and thy
Father which seeth in secret shall re-
ward thee openly. For your Father
knoweth what things ye have need of,
before We ask him.-Matt. :6, 8.
REMOVE FAR FROM ME vanity
and lies: give me neither poverty nor
riches: feed me with food convenient
for me.-Proverbs 30:S.
JESUS SAID UNTO HER, | am the
resurrection and the life: he that be-
lieveth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live; And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me shall never die.
John II %.
THUS SAITH THE LORD, Call un~
to me, and | will answer thee, and
shew thee great aud mighty things
which thou krIowest not. Behold, |
will bring 1t health and cure, and 1
will cure them, and will reveal unto
them the abundance Of peace and
truth.-Jeremiah 33 2, 3, 6.

the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus

Back To Two Parties
New York World)

In overwhelming defeat the Demo
cratic party is nevertheless stronger
than it looks. If it could point only
to the melancholy fringe of southern
states, its future might be despaired
of. But it has many scattered repre-
sentatives in the House from north
ern and western states, with an oc-
casional United States senator or a
governor. Best of all, i'm the way of
promise of continued life, is the fact
that it has virtually got rid of a
menace to its very existance. An al
most avOwed aim of the LaFOllette
movement was to destroy the Demo
cratic party. What the labor party
in England came so near doing to the
Liberals, the miscellaneous Socialists
and radicals who marched, without
open quarreling for the time being,
under the LaFollette banner, hoped
and intended to do to the Democrats.
Mr.. Davis was to run third in the
popular vote. Discouraged Democrats
were to abandon their party organi-
zation by the millions and rush to join
the new third party, which would in
stantly become the second and ere
long the first.
These fond imaginings disappeared
in the explosion Of Nov. 4. 1t was the
nascant third party that blew up. Its
fragments will be variously distrib-
uted OF course, the Socialists will
speedily repent of their blunder this
year. and once more insist upon their
separate political identity. But the
rest of the LaFoilette melange will be
dispersed never to be assembled again
in an independent movement. In its
zeal to commit murder, the third party
really committed suicide. Like that
one Of the Medici family who, in his
furious strokes at an enemy, stabbed
himself, Senator LaFOllette has hurt
illIN'll hDlt illdu lut DtuOcIbIlc
party with the daggers that he spoke.
Here we have one Of the great gains
Of Tuesdays election. It largely re-
moved the peril that the group system
in Congress would drive out the two
party system. To the latter the coun-
try is in fair way to get bacl, soon.
Weakened and repulsed as it was in
the election, the Democratic party
still has a respectable strength I'm
Congress, and is in a position there
and throughout the country quickly to
become a responsible party Of the OPP
position. Instead Of breaking up the
old two-party system, LaFollette has
strengthened IL and brought its full
return nearer. For this gift of his,
undersigned though it was, to the
American people he deserves a vote Of
thanks-though he would scorn and
scarify any one who offered il to him.

NEW YORK. June 21.-Quiet
steadiness was noted on the curb

a number Of strong spots, but spe.
culative interest in the main body
OF shares was at low ebb which was
due to the disposition among oper-

The advance in the public utilities

FLOOR FIGHT ON
KHAN ISSUE
LOOMS
Brennan, Illinois Boss, Ex-
poets to Have Convention
Pass Upon It
By SHERMAN r. DUFFY.

NEW YORK, June 21.-The first
big issue which the Democratic
convention must meet and settle
and which in large measure will
decide the complexion Of the Demo-
cratic campaign is the Ku Klux
Klan, George Brennan, Of Chicago.
warned today.
I'VE must decide whether It is a
Khan convention or whether It IS
not" he said. This will be a
floor fight. 1t doesn't make much
dlrference what the committee on
resolutions decides in its report.
81 am for straight denunciation
OF the Khan and against all religious
or race discrimination.
This Is a basic principle. The
platform should declare for the
principles upon which this Govern.
ment was founded"
BelittIes u As Issue.
William L. O'ConnelI, Illinois Nc.
Adoo leader, does not seem to at
tach as much Importance to the
Khan problem as does Brennan,
but he said there would be some
kind Of q Khan plank.
There is a lot Of bunk about
this Khan discussion" he added.
"Seven-eighths Of 1t is bunk for
political purposes"
Both Illinois leaders seemed IN.
clined to ignore the League of Ma.
tons as a PLATFORM issue. O'Connell
said he saw little chance of the
Wilson league idea being taken up.
Brennan is known to be Thoroughly
opposed to any entrance into Euro
pean politics.
It was predicted today that the
Illinois vote would be split on the
first ballot for President and that
contrary to previous reports, Mayor
Dever Of Chicago would receive no
votes on this ballot. Mayer Dever
refuses to discuss any boom for
himself.
There Is little change in the
presidential lineup, Brennan said
He declared Governor Smith would
be nominated and refused to con.
slider anything in the line of second
choice or dark horses.
Neither Brennan nor O'Connell
seemed to think there was much
Of the two.thirds rule
being abrogated. O'Connell said
the McAdoo campaign was dc.
veloping so favorably that he re-.
garded McAdoo's nomination as
certain. -
