Democratic party does not and under
my leadership will not advocate any
sudden or drastic revolution in our
economic system which will cause BUSH

OF RACE IN POLITICS
Professor Of Theological Univer-

ATLANTA, Ga, October e,-Dr. c.
e. Wilmer, professor of practical the
ology In the University of the South.
SeWanee, Tenn. issued q statement
here yesterday in which he said:
Il strongly condemn. on both re-
ligious and economic grounds, efforts
10 drag the race issue into the present
political controversy, whether on one
side or the other.
THE only result of such course, I"
said Dr. Wilmer. will be to inject into
an already difficult situation elements
of discord that will react unfavorably
on our whole religious. domestic and
political life The leadership of the
South, clerical and otherwise. is miss
ing an opportunity If it fails to dis
courage and discountenance such APP
peals to race prejudice and fear. which
every intelligent person must recognize
as false and dangerous unworthy of
the white man and rljust to both
white and negro.
THE white race Is in control in the
South today and any attempt to main
tain that position by reviving the is
sues of by-gone past is tragically out
Of place. Whichever side resorts to
such tactics-an6 both are guilty-is
confessing its weakness and failing to
recognize that the voters of the South.
increasingly intelligent and fair
minded, are beginning to resent sIch
attempts to brighten and coerce them
when there are grave issues at stake
which ought to be decided on their
merits
The most important thing in the
South today" concluded Dr. Wilmer,
sis to face facts squarely, to study Sit
uationS in the love of truth, to form
independent convictions and then to
vote those convictions fearlessly In
this crisis the pulpit particularly has
. great opportunity and a grave re-
sponsibility to help create an atrnos-
phere of fairness and keep debate on
high plane where the real issues may
be discussed on their merits"

FREMONT. Nebr.. October e.--The
prediction was made by Senator Smith
W. Brookhart in Republican cam
paign address last night that unless the
farm problem is solved within the next
10 years, all farms will be operated by
corporations and the farmers reduced to
peasantry.
THE farm problem is the real prob

value Of farm land has decreased 500
000,000,000 and in the same period
1,500,0 900 farmers lost their property
and farm bankruptcy has increased
900 per cent
Senator Brookhart blamed the Fed
eral Reserve law. which he said takes
money from the farmers for use of
stock gambler" He also blamed high
railroad rates under the Federal trans
portation act.
Mr. Hoover. according to Senator
Brookhart. secured high wheat and
hog prices for the farmer and saved
farmers from bankruptcy by winning
the fight to raise the German blockade
following the war. thus giving the
farmer what the Senator spoke Of as
the greatest period of prosperity in his

Fox Chase Stirs
Police, Mud and
Row Over Reward
Finder Claims Reynard
Recovered From Muck;
Owner Pays So Bonus.

A little red fox seeking freedom from
captivity succeeded in stirring up more
excitement yesterday afternoon in the
ordinarily quiet neighborhood around
the first precinct police station than
the section has known since an in
ebriated clubman in the pre-Volstead
DAYS led a parade of wobbling ducks
around the Postoffice Building by a
string.
The excitement started when the ami
NAL leaped from the arms Of E. Bona,
proprietor of a restaurant, and made
dash for liberty. Bona had just pur-
chased the fox at Center Market and
was taking it home, carrying the ami
NAL much IN the same manner that
woman would hold pet lap dog.
The fleeing fox attracted the atten-
ton of every one it passed on Its mad
run and nearly every one who saw 1t
gave chase. The animal, with the
crowd in close pursuit, finally reached
the deep excavation dug for the new
Internal Revenue Building in the rear
of the Postoffice Building and leaped
blindly into mud hole where 1t stuck.
A colored laborer on the job leaped
behind the fox and emerged from the
hole holding the frightened and breath
less animal by the nape of the neck.
Lie CUlOI Va UOGII CkIC AOA uAIA 1AA~
laborer had been changed considerably
by the mud.
About this time Bona, who is not as
fleet afoot as some of the others who
took part in the fox hunt, reached
Twelfth and c streets and demanded
his fox. The colored laborer held fast
to his catch and announced rather
firmly that findings is keepings."
After considerable persuasion on
Bona's part, however, the mud-cov-
cred laborer agreed to part with the fox
for reward. But Bona had just paid
a good price for the animal at the
market and didn't think so much of
the idea. The argument was waxing
warm when a policeman reached the
scene and decided to settle the dispute
at the first precinct station.
We'll, then, If you is going to act this
way" the colored man announced on
his way to the station house, "I's going
to let this fox CO."
With another chase in immediate
prospect, Bona decided to give the ami
mails captor reward. Away from the
curious throng inside the station house
Bona pealed 50 from roll of bills and
gave it to the laborer, with the station
clerk acting as witness to the trans
action.
AS there is no police regulation for
bidding foxes from running through
the streets of Washington, and as the
colored laborer returned the animal 10
his rightful owner, there was nothing
more for the police to do.
