USING BRAINS
in POLITICS
Is Way to End Rule of
Demag0gues Says Prof.
Hall to ROtarians.
USE HORSE SENSE

Use brains in politics as well as in
business, golf, whist or whatever you
do and you will end the rule of the
demagogues in public life.
This was the message brought to
Kenosha by Professor A. B. Hall, of
the police science department of the
University of Wisconsin, in an ad-
dress delivered at noon today at the
regular luncheon meeting af the Ke-
nosha Rotary club in the Pompeian
room at the Elks' club.
"Demagogues and Democracy" was
the title of the address, which proved
most interesting and instructive. "Any
man who uses an irrational appeal in
seeking public Office is q demagogue,"
declared Professor Hall. "The rea-
son we have so many demagogues in
public life is because the great ma
jority of the people respond to IRA
tional rather than rational arguments
when it comes to politics. They take
their politics straight while they
analyze business situations. What we
need is to have the voters go to poll
tical meetings to grapple with the
problems of state just as they grapple
with the problems Of business"
Tells Kinds of Demagogues.
The speaker described the three eff
fective types of demagogues as follows:
l. The utilization of unsound con-
yictions.
2. The creation of unsound convic-
tions by the power of suggestion.
8. The appeal to prejudice or
hatred.
4. The tyranny of established
phrases.
5. The power Of fattery.
In closing he urged all to ''begin to
care about affairs of common interest
and to begin to think of discussing
them" and declared that when the
public gets to the place where the
reason and not prejudice and fat
terry rules, the day of the demagogue
will be ended.
Prior to the address three mem
bers, recently elected to Rotary, were
formally indicted into the club.

TO Be Handed to the
Posses in Pursuit.

Portland, Ore. - = Tom MUIR
ray, Ellsworth Kelly and James We'll
los, the three conyicts who last We'd
nesday shot their way out of the Ore
gon penitentiary over the bodies of
two guards and one of their own com
panions, eluded all the posses which
were searching for them and drove
into Portland at 7:30 o'clock last
night. Here the trail ended,
The daring dash into the city fol-
lowed a raid by the conviets on a pool
hall and grocery store at Monitor,
Ore. about two o'clock yesterday
morning. Four men in the place,
playing cards, were held up, forced to
accompany the outlaws to the road,
where the entire party entered the
automobile of one OF the gicims and
sped away.
Take Possession of Home.
On reaching the home of c. L. New
man, between New Era and Oregon
City at a. M, the convicts, with the
four men from Monitor, entered the
Newman home. The. conviets took
possession of the place, forced the
entire party and the Newman family
to stay in the house all day, ordered
and ate food, washed and shaved and
dressed themselves in clothes belong
ing to Mr.. Newman and his son.
At $3.50 p. m, the three convicts tax
ing Leslie Newman, the son and a
friend of Newman's as hostages, con-
tinued their flight to Portland, leav-
ing the men abducted from Monitor
at the Newman house and declaring
that if a word of their exploit were
given to the authorities the hostages
would be shot.
While Newman and his four captive
companions were prisoners they were
entertained by detailed narrative of
the killing and the break from the
Oregon penal institution.
Leave Signed Statement.
An amazingly frank statement of
the spectacular crime was made by
Murray and all three of the fugitives
signed it and attached their finger
prints leaving the unique document to
be turned over to the police.
No attempt was made to blame the
killings on the dead bandit, Jones.
The guard in the tower was shot
through the head by Murray, because
he Wouldn't throw down his gun and
tit was his life or ours, it was said,
Murray had just knocked down an
other guard who was "squealing like
a pig"
Before taking fight, the escaping
eoHyiets stepped to shake hands with
Jones who had been mortally wound
ed, received his injunction to "play
careful and not make it more than
one" and then to watch while the ex-
piring comrade took q gun and fired
q load Of buckshot through the head
of the already wounded second guard
which "made him unconscious OF what
was going on around him.
Murray explained to Newman that
he was telling "the honest Gods
TRUTH, and said he wanted his mother
to read the statement.

KENOSHA CAUSE
OF THIS FUSS
COunty's Transference of
Records Causes SQUAD
BILE in Racine.
FINALLY COMPROMISED
Register of Deeds Mutter Fin
ally Agrees to Take Half
of the $500.

Kenosha county's recopyirg Of the
deeds for property for the early his
tory of Racine county, of which Ke-
nosha county was then part, was the
cause of tempest in teapot before
the Racine county board at it's meet
ing in Racine when the question of a
settlement on $500 alleged to be due
Racine county from Register of Deeds
Robert Mutter Of Racine was broach-
ed. The case dates back to the time
when the deeds were being copied at
Racine. Register of Deeds Mutter
aided in the work and alleges that the
aid was given after Office hours. For
that reason he maintained that he and
not Racine county was entitled to the
$500 paid by Kenosha county for the
extra work caused by the transference
of the deeds.
A communication from Mr.. Mutter
was read in which he offered the
board a compromise settlement of $3.50
on the $500 that the county is trying
to collect for work said to have been
done by Mr., Mutter for Kenosha coun-
ty and for which that amount was
pdAQs La LAG 1CpNCA 4lAAs AAkJCA OhCAVo
the $3.50 settlement, although he
stated that he could not convince him
self that his original position was un-
justified. At the time the board
brought up the matter of the $500
payment the register of deeds con-
tended that all work done for Keno
sha was done by him and his wife
outside of Office hours, and that none
of the $500 rightfully belonged to the
county of Racine.
Supervisor Louis Sorensen was the
first to his feet when the offer of
compromise was made. He declared
that he was absolutely opposed to any
$3.50 settlement; that the district at
torney had advised the board that the
$500 could be collected and that he
should be there and tell them If his
position was unfounded.
Supervisor Sophus Larsen offered
the suggestion that the $500 be col
lected and that Mr.. Mutter and his
wife be given $3.50 for their over
time work. Supervisor A. C. Bowman
spoke in favor of such settlement.
Others favored accepting the
compromise and Supervisor G. ].
Hute, head of the judiciary commit
tee of the board and one time cir
cult judge, pointed out that, the opin-
ion of the district attorney to the
contrary, this was no closed case and
that if Mr.. Mutter intended to fight
it through the courts the county could
not be sure of winning. He closed
his talk by advising the acceptance Of
the $3.50 offer and this in time came
to be the concensus Of opinion.
When the matter was finally thrash
ed out and q vote taken the entire
board voted to accept the $3.50.

Police Get Big
Haul i'm Milwaukee

Milwaukee, Wis. Two
Spiked" beer plants, one located in
the heart of Milwaukee and the other
at Hartland, a short distance from
here, were raided by prohibition en-
forcement officers last night. The en-
forcement men declared that the two
plants have been furnishing Milwau-
kee with a large percentage of the
"real beer" which has been popular
during the last few weeks.
Walter Thomas, general contractor
and ice dealer, was arrested at Hart
land. Agents uncovered his place
where beer was being made, when
searching for the Milwaukee plant.
Agents arrested a man who gave
his name as Max Sher when raiding
the Milwaukee plant. The front OF
the place did not indicate in any way
that the rear of the building was
used for 'spiking' near beer. Agents
said the alcohol used was very low
grade, made from redistilling denat-

DRUNK DRIVERS
MAY NOT DRIVE
Judge Slater Says He Win
Take Advantage of New
Law Often.
CAN ENFORCEFOR YEAR
Privilege of Driving Can Be Re-
vOked For Year Under
tn New Law.

One mans right to drive a car has
been taken away from him for one
year, and this man is only the first
members of the Drunken Driving
Club" according to Judge Slater
this morning.
''In forbidding all that are convict
ed of drunken driving to drive their
car or any other car for one year, l
am taking advantage of a new law"
said Judge Slater. "I am very glad
to be able to do so. The drunken
driver is a menace to the public, and
we have had more than one tragic ex-
ample of it. The worst was in the
killing of Coroner T. T. Parker and
his daughter, Miss Jean, last fall"
Huber Law Nullifies Penalty.
Judge Slater pointed out that the
new law was really necessary as
there were few cases where men,
though sentenced to "hard labor" for
drunken driving, ever served time in
Jail. The Huber law nullifes the
hard labor sentence, because a man
sentenced under it may go back to
work to support his family.
"We needed to have something more
drastic" Judge Slater said, land
think the practice of preventing a
man from driving a car may be a
great deterrent"
Must Report to Probation Office.
In Milwaukee, seven men were de-
prived in one day of the right to
drive a car for six months. They
were ordered to report regularly to
a probation officer, and if it is found
that they have been driving cars dur
ing the period fixed by the court,
they will spend six months in the
house of correction.
The new law reads as follows:
Whenever any person is adjudged
guilty of having driven an automo-
bile, motor vehicle, motor truck,
motor delivery wagon, automobile
bus, or other similar motor vehicle
while intoxicated, the court in addi-
tion to imposing a fine or Jail sent
enee, or both, may make and enter an
order prohibiting such person from
driving a motor vehicle of any kind
for a period of not more than one year
from the date of. making the order"

HONORS SHOWN
TO PRESIDENT
President of United States
Afforded HOnOrs by Army
and Navy Guns.
MORE THAN KINGS
Bv DALE VAN EVERY.


Washington j. The Presidency
Of the United States, based through
1t is on every principle of democracy,
is surrounded by official Difference and
formal honors such as are granted to
few crowned heads.
AS man the person who is presi-
dent is only citizen but as the
President of the nited States he is
the figure who represents the Unit
ed States and therefore in army, navy
and state department regulations no
honor Is too great for him.
Since the days of Washington new
traditions ard presidents have been
gathered about the President until
now if all the honors to which Mr..
Coolidge is entitled were invoked he
would spend more time in official cere-
monial than in transacting govern
mept business. Hence Presidents have
had to direct members of their stats
to eliminate fuss except on very Of
fetal occasions,
Twenty-one Guns.
When the President passes or ar
rives at any military or naval estab-
lishment he is entitled to a salute Of
FL guns, to have the command parad-
ed at attention, to be saluted by bug
les and to have the national anthem
played. Were this ceremony invariably
adhered to around Washington the
army, the navy and the President
would be almost respectfully engaged
in the process. Therefore it is reserv-
ed for formal occasions, though every
Saturday when the President embarks
on the Mayflower he gets the national
anthem and the 81 guns.
When the President attends formal
social events he is preceded by bug
lers who sound his salute and by the
national colors and the Presidents
flag carried by a color guard. The
detachment stands at attention dur
ing the Presidents presence.
Always First.
In the social procedure of the White
House the President is always first.
He passes through the doorway first,
the one gentleman in the land who
precedes a lady. He is served first at
meals. He may sit when women pres
ent are standing. Naturally most
Presidents dispense with many of
these formalities on most occasions.
But the traditional supreme respect
due the President of the United
States is preserved on official occa-
sions.
Closely Guarded.
Respect for the Presidency is not
confined to official honors prescrib-
ed bv tradition and regulation. He is
surrounded by every comfort, protec-
tion and Difference. Secret service men
guard him at all times. Doctors ex-
anime him daily to keep the most
minute watch on his health. Carefully
selected foods are served with every
finesse to tempt his appetite. In his
office a skilled staff ward off all vexa-
tions minor administrative matters.
Everything is done to protect his
health and spirits so that unhampered
he may devote his energies to the inn

See Decrease i'm
Principal Crops

Washington, D. c. Despite
an increased area of 2,36 per cent
planted to principal crops this year,
total production was estimated today
by the department Of agriculture at
8 per cent lower than last year due
to decrease yields per acre.
But for the increased area, officials
said today Their emight have been
serious crop shortage in the United
States.
Yields per acre showed a reduction
for all principal crops Of Ga per
cent compared with the ten year
average and AS per cent under last
years crop.
The decrease was attributed mainly
to drought in the corn belt and south
western states.
