(The bed was uninjured). Soon
after, the three lads who camped

large and robust, a bass singer and
cigar salesman. The middle one
was long and keen, and peddled
ribbons in department store. The
third was a short, fat production,
who resembled Flo Ziegfeld, and
had a conspicuously tenor voice.
The first, as was his wont, went to
find his cigars. Hey, hey" he

A DEMOCRATIC. BOLTER
prescott Courier)

The Miami Silver Belt, owned by
Cleve Van Dyke, which always has
claimed to be an Independent news
paper, finally has turned its back
upon the Democratic party and
gone back into the woods to sit
down" 1t has been hammering
Democratic nominees right and left
with particular animosity toward
Carl Hayden, and recently it took
fall 'out of the state Democratic
/ platform, although its able editor,
Leroy Kennedy, was member of
the party council which assumed
responsibility for the platform.
! Although the Silver Belt sees
very little in the Democratic candi-
dates this year, with the possible
! exception of Governor Hunt, it is
positive that Arizona will go to the
eternal bowwows" and stay there
to the United States senate. 1t is
"whooping it up" for the senator
with zeal worthy of better
cause, and in it's first page account
of Cameron's appearance in Pres
colt it said he addressed large
crowd" There was a "big crowd"
in the theatre just before Ralph
began to speak, and because of the
good picture show billed for the
night, but when the political fire
works" started, an exodus began
which left in the opera house not
more than 125 persons. If that is
large crowd" one cannot help
but wonder what the Silver Belt
would call a small" one.
Mr.. Van Dyke and his newspap-
er have Jared better at the hands
of the Democratic party in Arizona
than any other publisher or publi-
cation, and his out and out renun-
citation, as a result of his frenzied
"Cameronitis, not only is unseen
ly, but reveals an unprecedented
example of benefits forgot" True.
if by hook or crook Cameron could
slip back to Washington as sena-
tor, he might do a lot for Van, but
not any more than the Democratic
administration has done He has
been an aid to the party, to be sure,
but valiant service by anyone be-
comes dim and vague when the one
who gave it deserts in the midst of
battle and goes over to the enemy.
Van Dyke once was a leader in
Arizona Democracy. Now he has
loaded his musket with sIugs and
broken glass and gone out among
the rocks to shoot into the party's
flank. 1t is a sorry spectacle, and
unworthy of the one who has Great

there is hardly anything impossible in
life and nothing at all impossible in
death. But it hardly seemed proba-
BILE. Less than one week ago the Judge
and | had a long conversation on mat
tiers of The greatest importance to me
after which. in response to my inquiry
about his health, he told me about his
sun baths and remarked that he was

he thought, good easy man. that his
health was a ripening, there came a
killing frost.
John Leslie Curry was born in Scrar
ton. Virginia, February 2. 1889,
did his bit in the Worlds War w
the Canadian Air Forces and was pro
of his war record.
He was among the first judges of St.
Croix after the Transfer-that is before
we had remodelled our Judiciary System
to what it is today. He was once a
member of the Colonial Council of st.
Croix. At one time junior partner of
the law firm of Noll and Curry, and since
1924 Police Judge for Frederiksted Town
and Country District and Government
Attorney for St. Croix.
Judge Curry was a cautious and con-
scienuous jurist. A man possessed with
the finest judicial poise and dignity
whose one aim while on the bench was
to & etc GU justice and, as circumstances
warranted, to use his discretion as per-
milted by the Code to temper justice
with mercy. His fellow lawyers say
that he always took great care to ascer-
tain all the facts connected with his
cases.
The history of any man really begins
only with his death. If he has achieved
things" and has lived without having
experienced what Kipling wisely AYERS
to as 1.-THE common touch, history ig-
noges him. But if he has done real
worthy acts as he travelled along life's
road, when be is no more these acts Wi.
be remembered.

to me lies on my desk. ln this letter
the Judge wrote, in connection with GER

down in the history of the island" |
can think of no better or more fitting
tribute to pay his memory than his own
words:-FOr his urbanity of manners;
for his considerate attitude towards the
poor; for his courtesy as a public man,
the name John Leslie Curry will go down
in the history of St. Croix.

IN MEMORHAM

dedicated to the late John L. CUrryC
BY G.. H. E.
Fly low the colors, bare the head.
Drape dark the hall and dim the flame,
Let brOnZed tongues pronounce our grief
In measured beat and solemn knell.
Wide Ger the land let dirges rise,
And silence mark the GRAVEYARD march;
For he is dead who nobly lived,
And wrote his name in deathIess deeds.
He was a man who lived for Man,
And Man his mem'ry must revere:
The Orphan found in him a friend,
The Poor a bUttress strong and true;
The Weak hid meath his shelt'ring arm,
And God beheld it and approved.
He was a man of virtue tried
In many a sphere of human veal:
A patriot true, a statesman shrewd,
A iurist learned, a counsellor wise;
A loving father, gentle, mild;
A faithful husband, tender, kind:
Nor rocked he aught for fife or drum,
Or calf of gold or rod of sway,
But did his duty as it called,
With philOsophic s~elfessness.
Fain would we stay the hand of Death;
Fain would we mend the broken cOrG;
Fain would we see thee as thOu vert;
But no! it's done! good man, Farewell!

Monday afternoon at their home or
North Lee street, celebrating their
eighth anniversary. They are Evelyn

for the occasion company of about
25 of their little friends. Games on
the lawn were enjoyed, punch being
served from a. table on the porch by
Miss Thelma Walker and Mrs. ]. E.
Stewart. At a, late. hour. they were
ushered into the dining room for re-
freshments, color scheme of pink
and white being prettily used
throughout the decorations and ice
course, the birthday cake being
topped with pink candles. Favors
were all-day suckers decorated for
the occasion. Many pretty gifts were
bestowed on the little honorees and
a merry time was had by all.

in the senate and the further view Is,
taken that Georgia can we'll afford
/ to keep Senator; George in the senate
and his rival in his judicial position.
In his campaign speeches Senator
George has refrained from person
alities and from "mud-slinging." He
has discussed his record clearly, con-
cisely and frankly and has expressed
his willingness to stand or fall on
that record. -
In a personal statement Senator
George expressed deep and sincere
appreciation of the loyal, faithful
support he has received from friends
in all parts of the state and for the
cordial receptions that have been ac-
corded him on his speaking tours. He
has been greeted by large crowds at
virtually all of his engagements and
has been given enthusiastic receptions
by his supporters in all parts of the
state.
After the check of the situation the
George campaign committee an
nounced that the opposition has
crumbled and that there is full as
surance that he will be reelected by
a sweeping and convincing majority.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. with the
election day about one week. distant
all reports and indications received
at the Atlanta headquarters Of
United States Senator Walter F.
George point to a sweeping and de-
cisive victory for him over his op-
ponent it was announced here today
by E. B. Dykes, campaign manager.
This announcement was made af-
ter weeks of checking the political
situation in all parts of the state. A
conservative check of all reports
shows that the people apparently are
unwilling to supplant Senator George
at this time; that his record in the
senate is such as to deserve a full
term in that body; that he has
reached position of usefulness and
influence in the senate which will be
of benefit to the people of the entire
state and that his ability as a man
and as statesman has been proved
conclusively by his record.
= According to the reports received
the general opinion is that Senator
George should not have been op-
posed in this race in view of the fact
that he has never served a full term
