Clarence ". Parks had an officia
introduction to Deputy Sheriff Nc
Kinley Ryman on Friday night. Fol
reasons, Parks did not seek the intro.
ducfion, which reasons were bottled
and barricaded.
Parks, SO it is alleged, was at his
home west Of Mt. jackson when the
officer made his official visit. He is
the owner Of an Overland roadster and
in said roadster there was a pint of
boob's benzine. Parks was arrested
for transporting ardent spirits and
following the arrest the Deputy Sheriff
was joined by Federal Prohibition
officer Landon Drifting and the source
OF the pint was sought. 1t was, like
wise. found.
In the Parker home five quarts of
alleged liquor barrel of peach mash
and barrel Of molassas which was
joyfully bubbling in anticipation OF the
trip through the copper coil. A COM.
plete still was also found on the
premises. The combination resulted
IN Parks being charged with violating
almost all of the provisions of the pro-
nibition laws.
He was admitted to bail to await the
action of the grand jury.

IT WASN'T COLUMBUS AFTER
All.

N n comes 5Duke II Aba.
1'neai desc ndsnt OF the hardy
explorer who plIoted his frail
caravels across painless seas and
produces documentary evidence
that, after all, the Geonese
yachtman was not the original
discoverer of America. The
royal aeon says that wandering
hobo on the briny blue was the
first to. vision the land Of the
ku K,ux Khan and Teapot
Dome. The dock" is twig on
the tree of which Chris was one
of the roots, and it is a matter
of family knowledge that Ferd
and Isabel financed the Columbus
excursion because of the dying
declaration of home coming
Spanish seaman. In our ver-
nacular, c. Columbus had a
lunch that west OF the setting
sun there was real estate which
would make a good subdivision
for the Spanish crown, and this
lunch was aggravated or in
spired by the ante mortem state
ment of a dying sailor.
An thus. an iconoclast skaters
the glsmor of greatness and the
idol of our Idle DAYS in school
goes into the discard with DR.
Cook.
All of which is too bad. Too
bad that the heroes of our
halcvon days should be smeared
over with such sacrilege, and toe
bad that the inspiration which
finds its genesis in greatness
should be disa bled by disbelief.
1t matters little in this age Of
-marvels and moonslIine whether
Columbus or Caesar discovered
America, for in either event W,
would still have radio and Re
publican landslides to mess uI
the monotony of life.
It does matter, though, tina
the accepted facts of our earlie
years become fallacies as W,
near the west, and that child
hood faith is shattered whei
golden hairs are turned to grey,
The icouoclast spares neithe
man nor God in wreckiug on
fancies or our faith, and push,
ing Columbus from his pedesta
is but an evidence of the trend O
the times. Nothing sacred O
sentimental is spared by til,
wrecking crew of psuedo scien
lists and mephistolic modernist.
in their campaign against til,
truths in which our visions aus
our hopes are rooted,
Fundamentals are thrown into
the discard and we are left "a
play the game with no deck to
draw from The idal is pulled
down aud the base remains bare
Nothing worth while is erected
In its place.
Happiness. however, is found
Ia building not wrecking.
Better small builder than a
big iconiolast.
