They Say
(Anderson Herald)
(Reuublican)


The murder of little Marian
Parker in Los Angeles last week
has filled the whole nation with
horror.
The little girl was playing
happily with her school mates,
when she was accosted by three
strangers, who asked her to &C
company them to her fathers side.
He was, they told her, seriously
injured, and wanted her at once.
She left with them, thinking only
Of her fathers hurt. No one knows
what transpired with the child in
the three days that followed. At
the end of that time the kidnap-
ers communicated with her father
and told him they would return
the child to him if he would give
them sum of money. Desperate
and worn with grief and anxiety
for the safety of the little girl, he
ttok the money and went to the
place they had designated. When
the exchange had been made he
found that his child had been
murdered, and not only that, but
that she had been mutilated in
a dreadful fashion as we'll. 1t is
almost beyond belief that a
human being could do so wicked
a deed.
Every parent in America feels a
4. 4
clutch at the heart when he
thinks of his own children. Every
one will wish this case to be
quickly carried to a conclusion in
the apprehension and punishment
of the heartless murderers. Crime
that involves the life of an in
nocent child arouses the heart Of
the whole nation as no other
could.

While rsychiatrists, criminol-
ogists and socialogistS PROFOUND
and explain their scientific theo-
ries in Analysing such crimes as
the kidnapping and murder of a
little school girl in Los Angeles
one obvious fact is emphasized in
the unraveling of the atrocious
crime. 1t is expressed in the
homely admonition, BE sure your
sins will find you out" The melo-
dramatic bravado of the boy
whose warped brain conceived
himself as "the fox" foiled his
hunters 70 "a brief period. But it
was inevitable that his capture
would not long be delayed. No
matter what the cunning Of de-
generate nor the cold calculation
of the confirmed criminal there is
always the trail that leads to de-
lection. And while in the scientific
analysis of such crimes various
motives are ascribed, invariably
the dominating motive has been
found to be the greed of monetary
gain. That, rather than the mo-
tive Of revenge, first accepted, was
back of the murder of little Ma
rion Parker the accused slayer has
confessed. The crime that has ap-
palled a whole nation and brought
life's deepest sorrow to the imme-
date families of the principals,
solved as it is now takes its place
in the catalog of sordid and dumb
tragedies. IT. is another example
Of the penalty of greed and a dem
onStration of the memorable law

Little TO7gn
Governed
by Women

MOBERLEY, MO-, Nov. 17.-Petti-
coat government rules the little
town of Urbandale, one mile south
of here, in this age which has
marked the petticoat's passing.
The town has ten homes and thir-
ty-five citizens.
A village board of trustees COM
posed solely of women who were
appointed by the Randolph County
Court, and headed by a woman
mayor, governs the place. Incor-
poration papers were granted the
village this fall. 1t is reported that
the lesser halves, who usually oper-
ate political machinery, caused ap-
pointment of the better halves.
Take Work Seriously
The business of ruling the town
has been undertaken seriously by
the women. Mrs. Ruth Stamper
Fleming is chairman of the board
of trustees, a position equal to that
of mayor; and Mrs. Lula May Gill
fillan, secretary, has duties similar
to those of city clerk. Other men,
bers are Mrs. Edna Horn, Mrs.
Myrtle Holman and Mrs. Martha
Cameron.
Mrs. Fleming is the only woman
governing official in Missouri. She
said she knew little of the legal as
poets of town government, but de-
clared she and the board were not
going to turn the village rule into
a tea party.
Mrs. Gilfllan, the city clerk. ex-
planned the women had accepted
somewhat reluctantly their gov
erning mission, but were bound now
to show the men that women could
govern as well as vote.
Wants POficeman's Job
One member of the board, Mrs.
Horn, declared she would rather
have been named a policeman
than a board member. She was
optimistic of the success of the
"petticoat" government, but added
that the first village election prob
ably would see the exodus of woman
rule.
The first election is scheduled for
the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in April, 1923. Shrewd

Pray, don't for minute think
that the following items are quoted
offhand from personal knowledge.
1t is with much pride, however,
that I set forth such neat and
appropriate quotations of my sub
ject. 1t is not always that ones
efforts in dusty library are so
rewarded.
My subject is silence" I shall
give my classical discoveries first.
Dionysius said: "Let thy speech
be better than silence, or be silent"
Publius Syrius said: 1T have often
regretted my speech, never my
silence"
Mr.. Carlyle said: Silence is as
deep as eternity, speech is as shall
low as time"
Claudius said: do not say all
that you know, but always know
what you say"
The longer I live the more am
impressed With the way people
chatter. Take me for instance. I
am, I believe, nota talkative per
son by nature, yet I do terrible
things. When I am with people I
start stories that I cannot finish.
try to tell jokes that 1 have for
gotten, I repeat bits of gossip that
do not concern me in the least, I
chatter about personalities beyond
the point of good taste. 1 talk
about my house, I discuss clothes,
I complain of expenses. I go into
details about the mythical opera
ton that some day I do not hope
to have; about my chiIdren's
snartness, the stinginess of some
people and the extravaganza of
others-any and everything I talk
about.
Why? I don't know. The psv-
chology of the crowd, perhaps.
Everybody does it. No other one
cares particularly what others are
saying, but we should blow up, very
likely, If the silly things that pop
ped into our minds didn't get out.

Berlioz loved to play stringed In

lessons on the guitar. In spite Of the
poverty which he mentions in his
memoirs, he had succeeded in buying
a plano, but 1t was not the sort Of in
