What the immediate ancestry of
the Leopold and Loeb boys was do
not know, but they were very
wealthy.
Naturally We have a right to sup
pose that the parents were aggres-
sive and had strong accpmulative
power, but they must have trans
mitted some strong traits to the
boys, as we'll as some recessive
traits.
The feeling of being superior to
others was surely enhanced by the
fact that the boys never had to do
anything for themselves. There was
always someone to do things for
them.
They did not grow by resistance.
The useful effort, the bruises and
knocks of life that give zest to ac-
complishment was lacking They did
not get the natural reactions of life.
They craved sensation of feeling
and emotions but their protected
lives kept them from it, so they de-
vised unnatural sensations and these
most easily come through sex per.
versions.
Sex is the creative and emotional
urge. There are but two main
urges within man with the third
urge beginning to evolve.
The urge for food is the first
urge with all the concomitants as
clothing, houses, bodily adornments
and conveniences of the age These
the boys had in superfluity. There
was no particular sensation or ,re7-
action to be gained in getting these.
The second urge is the sex urge
or the reproduction and creative
urge. Here there is greater oppor-
tunity of sensations. Probably nat
ural sex control or sex expression
was never taught the boys. We do
know that sex impulses, if not con-
trolled and correctly directed, very
often lead to the most pronounced
debasing and cruel practices.
Loeb and Leopold inherited the
feeling of being privileged persons.
of being superior in intellect and
power. Their sex perversions made
them seek new senseations and, as
they called it getting reactions"

correct forces of their building and

SOPHRONIA'S WEDDING
MAKES A GREAT HIT

The play "Sophronia's Wedding" pre-
sented by members of the POcahontas
School Improvement Association Tues
day evening. was one of the most sue
cessful home talent plays ever pre-
sented in Pocahontas. From the stand
point of mirth-producing effects 1t has
not been equalled since "The Woman
less Wedding" many years ago.
The quaint costumes worn by the
members of the Tattletown Uplift Club
were In striking contrast to the modern
creations as displayed by Sophronia,
her mother. and her city friend. The
dash and pep of the modern music,
portraying the yirility Of the present
age, differed greatly with the slow,
sweet music of the songs that were
sung in the years that are past.
The play was a story OF the Tattle-
town Uplift Club and its dealings with
Sophronia Piper, who had returned
from a city boarding school full Of
modern thoughts and manners. The
good women Of the club were horrihed
at her actions and grieved that Soph-
ronia's mother was approving of her
daughters mode Of living. After the
wedding Of Sophronia, however, when,
by her charm and sweetness. she had
convinced the club members that they,
with their absurd gossipings and scan

correction. the club extended her an
unanimous vote of thanks and begged

The IDEAL MAN, A
MESSAGE TO BOYS

Members Of the Pocahontas Chapter
DeMolay marched in body TO the
Baptist church Sunday night to hear
the sermon Brother McEwen had pre-
pared for their benefit. The boys were
headed by Joe Bowers, master coun-
sellor, Duel Brown, senior counsellor,
and Marvin Wells, junior counsellor
and as they filed into the house were
directed to section OF pews that had
been provided for them especially.
Their part In the program consisted
OF solo and male quartette.
Mr.. McEwen had wonderful mes
sage, which he delivered In his in
imitable style, and his words carried
thought which struck home In tl.a.
hearts Of the parents as well as the
boys. His subject was. "The Ideal
Man." and he answered the question,
what Is Mani" with the three defini-
tions: First, that man Is an animal
second, that man Is n rational animal;
third. the theologlan's view, that man
is rational and spiritual being. He
outlined an idealism so near perfection
that It bordered on Deity, but at that
he advocated no life that was human
ly impossible. As the boy of today
is the man Of tomorrow, so should he
be trained with a view to a better and
nobler citizenship.
A meeting Of the DeMolays will be
held today at which time the recently
elected officers will be installed.

tise of law for the past seventeen
years. During this time he has serv-
ed four years as prosecuting attorney
for that judicial circuit and four years
as senator from that district. During
his last mentioned term of Office he
was, for two years, lieutenant COVER
nor of the State of Arkansas.
He is thirty-nine years of age and is
known to have been a strong democrat
for thirty-nine years. He is recognized
as one of the democratic leaders of
the state and the people of his dis
trict speak most highly of the work
he has done while serving them in pub
lie Office.
Mr. Boyle. in letter to this Office,
sets forth the fact that the present
incumbent in the Office TO which he as
pires has been in Office for sixteen
years and. while he thinks that is long

Office, he would not make the race IL
that was the only reason he had to
