THROW AWAY THE HAMMER

Why has human nature always had tendency to kick" to be forever dissatisfied with conditions as they exist and yell ing for a change any kind of a change, for better or for WorSe- just as long as it is a change. Ninety nine times out of a hund. red the 'knocker' has not the faintest idea why he is knocking, nor has he any glimmer of an ide ea as to what should replace the present outrage, but he goes on ana knocks, knocks, knocks.
 One should not confuse honest criticism with knocking for they are almost direct oppos ties. The critic who knows his subject paVes the way for impr Oyement, but the knocker has no such ambitions. He merely growls and as things in prove he yells the louder. He creates a spirit of anJagOnism which which hlnders progress and tends to make the community into group of isolat ed individuals.
 Throw away that hammer; work up a smile however painful 1t may feel; grab d horn an go out and try to spread d little opt imlSm. It won t do any harm and it may GO Io' Of good. AnA way it's worth try 'nS once.

HARRISON fires
new V0LLEY ON
JAILING GUARDS
State Senator Replies to
KerShner, Citing Intent
of New Law.

That the 1929 Legislature revoked
powers Of National Guard officers
to imprison its men without hear
ing, except when the guard has
been called out by the Governor,
State Senator Russell B. Harrison
contended today.
Il note that Adjutant General
Kershner contends Captain Atlee
Slentz was acting wholly within his
rights as an officer OF the guard in
causing privates to be arrested and
confined I'm the county Jail without
first being lawfully tried under the
new law" said Harrison. The 1923
law speaks it's intention"
Answers Kershner
The statement was II reply to one
issued by General Kershner defend
ing action of Captain Atlee Slentz
of the 151st infantry. l. n. c., in
imprisoning in county Jail for three
days on his own warrant three
privates who missed drill.
The issue is not question wholly
of the morale of the guard, which
Adjutant General Kershner thinks
would be seriously jeapordized with
out power of arbitrary arrest and
confinement vested in the officers
said Harrison.
1T is a question of whether the
Legislature did take such power
away from young lieutenants and
captains. The Legislature did, and
it was its intention to do so. This
Adjutant General Kershner will
ascertain upon a close examination
OF the statute Of 1923.
Guard Experience
with a National Guard expert
ence for many years 1 believe I am
competent TO say the morale Of a
Guard company is more seriously
ieopardized' by taking young men,
whose only offense Is being absent
from drill and throwing them in Jail
without a trial, as provided by law
and unlawfully confining them with
'as high as Ave days in jail with
murderers. thieves. bandits. boot
leggers, drunks, and vagrants. than
in obeying the spirit and intention of
the law"

He said he considered 1t unfair
for defense attorneys to come into
court on less than one days notice
an insist on the trial within two
days.
Monday Asked
Eph Inman, chief counsel for the
defense, opened the proceedings by
saying: "Your honor, the defense Is
ready for trial on Monday morning
and asks the court to set 1t down
for that date
Remy Immediately answered that
the Butler case was set for trial at
Danville, July /, and would take
several days.
Our men have been in jail more
than two months" Inman said.
Butler has been in jail five
months" Remy countered.
Judge Hines then said "As far
as this court is concerned Monday
will be a satisfactory day. How.
ever. it will be necessary to draw
special venire, and at this late date
it would not be possible to have this
completed before Tuesday"
There is no disposition on the
part OF thee State to delay this
trial." Remy said. 1T IS just a mat
ter of a few days"
Inman then said: I'VE want 10
start Monday. If the trial is de-
layed beyond that date, we want the
defendants admitted to bail"

Remy said. This case originally
was set for June 2. and we were

ours. ii has bee npostponed and
