Business owes . Dr. - the
government in the United Stat
es today. Once it YVES net unconl
mon for boys of exceptional pro
mise to turn as g matter Of cou-
rse to a political career. But TO-
day promising youngsters are
more likely to seek the fame ana
fortune that come with success
in business than to heed the call
of public Office.
A number of reasons may he
advanced to explain the trend of
brains to business. The larger
financial reward is undoubtedly
one of the chief reasons, and an
other is the lower esteem in VIII
ich public Officials are held,
with the 'good old days" in this
case as the basis of comparison.
Recently it appears that bust
ness has been repaying, in some
measure, its dJ3t to gov err
ment. Some men promin~ MT
in the business world have
sought public office. Some Of
them have been turned down
by the voters. Others have
have been elected. But those
men have SOUGHT bubble off ce
after they had achieved success
In business. It would be more
to the point If some way were
found of turning men of ahifev
toward offices of public trust
earlier in their careers.

With it's judgeship caucuses and
preliminaries behind it, with
us committees in working order
and its decks stripped for ac-
ton, the General Assembly of
Ininteen and twenty Eight is
about to get down to business

sessions held in many gener-
atoms.
Already a flood of bills has
been turned loose in the lower
chamber although the major
measures are still in process of
of the law-making body ap-
pear to be running smoothly,
the legislators and the execu-
live working in apparent har-
mony.
The judgeship contest at
Richmond, waged between
supporters Of Judge Kirk
Mathews, of the Hastings
Court, and. of Justice John
Ingram, of the Police Court,
who aspired to the upper bench
resulte in victory for Justice
Ingram. This was the most
bitterly contested fight SO far
staged. Justice Ingram
emerged the victor by a vote
of 81 to 81, with two pairs.
There have been no other
judicial contests.
Four major appointments by
the Governor, those Of e. R.
Combs, of Russell, as state
comptroller; Frank Bane. of
Nansemond, commissioner of
public welfare, Charles Os-
borne, Of Charlotte, director Of
the division of purchasing and
printing, and { William Meade
Fletcher, of Sperryville, new
member of the state corpora
ton commission, were all con-
tlrmed, no names being placed
IN opposition to any apointee.

Others CLAIM cur prisons eread
crime instead Of surprising it..
The attackers Of the present
system of punishment point cut
that crime is very definitely on
the increase in America. In
deed, they refer to figures to
prove that we are the most
awless nation on earth. AS
many schemes have been ad-
vanced for curing The growing
lawlessness IS there have
been reasons brought forward
| explain it.
That TIER is q great deal Of
lawlessness in this country,
nobody can deney. It seems
equally plain that the one chief
reason for it is that punishment
in too many cases is neither
swift nor certain. Any reform
of our system of furnishing
criminals that does not strike
at this evil will be Intellectual.
Obviously, society hsa either to
cure or get rid of men who
menace its peace and security.
IT such men know beyond all
question they will 'oe punished
without delay, thev r7av h
deferred from crime. IF they
are not, they merit pnishment
and hould get-it in proportion
to the degree of their crime.

CHE WHY of
IJPERSTITIONS
81 II. IRVING KING
TIE HAND OF GLORY

a PUBLICATION of the American
l Folklore society states that the
negroes of Georgia "believe in the
hand Of glory just as it is described
in British Folk Lore" The hand of
glory superstition is peculiar to En-
ropean races and the Southern negroes
must have imbibed it from their white
neighbors. If it is more prevalent to-
day among. the negroes than among
the whites the reason may be looked
for in the lower general culture among
the negroes. But it is not entirely
extinct among the whites of the coun-
try who also retain superstitions of an
analogous nature evidently derived
from the hand of glory superstition
nor is it entirely extinct in Europe in
it's original form.
A few generations ago this super
stition was very prevalent. AS late
as 1858 cases in which the hand of
glory figured were before the courts
of the British Isles and there are
many old criminal cases on record IN
which 1t played q part. AS not SO
very long ago the hand of glory was
admissible as legal evidence it is not
strange that it should linger today in
modern folk lore. 1t is magic per-
tanning TO thieves and midnight
marauders.
The hand of glory is the hand Of
man who has been hanged and in for
mer times it was picked in a certain
prescribed manner. 1t is supposed
when carried by burglars to cause the
inhabitants of the house about to be
burglariZed to fall into a deep sleep.
Generally, in old times, candle made
of the fat of malefactor who had
also been executed, was placed in the
hand as in a candlestick. This in
creased the potency of the charm and
rendered it impossible for the Sleep
ing persons to move. The idea, as is

WRITING
ON THE
WALL

So marked is the impetus taken
on by Governor Smiths campaign
as slection day draws near. that
Republican leaders everywhere
manifest signs Of genuine panic.
The G. o. P. high command sees
the writing on the wall' In the
East. Their campaign managers
in the Northwest. where the LaFol-
lette Progressive vote is lined up
behind the Democratic candidate.
are distracted by sense Of impend-
ing disaster. Their hope Of break.
ing the Democratic dominance Of
the South is vanishing. And now
a threat Of utter rout comes with
the tremendous reaction to Gov
ernor Smiths speeches in the
border States.
Not without significance In its
betrayal of the extreme anxiety of
the Hoover politicians. is their in
sistent call upon President Coolidge
for advice, for help. for reassur-
ance.
The President did not choose to
give Mr.. Hoover the active aid In
the campaign which G. o. P. lead.
ers had deemed 80 desirable. What
he did offer was aloof encourage
ment The Republican candidate.
he told the anxious politicians, was
sure to win. He advised Mr.. Hoover
to keep cool, not to be stampeded
into any rash act. not to say too
much. And Mr.. Hoover. it is appar.
ent, has been Influenced by that
advice In his speaking campaign.
The publication Ia New York
newspapers Of President C0olidge's
optimistic statements was followed
Immediately by a trip to Washing
ton by Charles D. Hilles, New York
National Committeeman, and H. Ed
mund NJ, chold, who recently re-
signed his water power associations
to become the Republican State
Chairman In New York.
They, too. tried desperately to
dispel the defeatest atmosphere
which has fallen over Republican
campaign workers from Massachu-
sets to Montana. "The situation
in New York looks very good"
they assured Mr.. Hoover. They
backed the assertion with figures
which were far in excess OF the
most partisan estimate given out
by anyone in close touch with con-
ditions in that State.
At the same time NJ. William
Bray, chairman Of the Democratic
State Committee, was completing
his annual canvas Of county chair
men. According to the official re-
ports of these chairmen, Governor
Smiths vote in the counties outside
Of New York City, will be 30 per
cent greater than In 1924 when the
Governor was elected on the Demo-
cratic ticket although the State
was carried by Coolidge. In 1924
Governor Smiths vote in the up.
State districts was 100000; reports
of the country chairmen show that
this year it will approximate 1,0O0.-
900. AS In the past, the Governor
Is sure of an overwhelming major
ity In New York City.
Even Mr.. Hoover must realize
that his followers are painting
political mirage when they base
their assurance Of victory on the
claim that Governor Smith will lose
the State which four times elected
him to Its highest Office.

E. R. Thurman is making a
whirlwind campaign for County At
torney and his majority should be
very large. Thurman was high man
in the voting at the primary.
A. Dumbauld, one of the most
efficient officials ever at the

grass widowers.' and strange though it
may seem. his guess was correct, ! think,
IN almost every case.
On our arrival in Bannack. he was in
business relations with my father and
Colonel Sanders. When Plummer circu-
lated the report that he, George Ives and
Buck Stinson were going to the Rattle
snake. where they let il be understood
they had discovered a rich claim. Colonel
Sanders was the one chosen to hasten
there and stake out our claims near the
discovery for Il business trio.
No horse could be hired at any price
for this momentous tourney. At length
n diminutive mule was obtained. and on
this Colonel Sanders hoped TO reach his
destination. The first difficulty encoun-
tered was the ascent of the hill which
led out of the canyon that was the site
of Bannack. The hill was long and steep,
and the little animal found the burden
he carried too heavy for him. The col
onel alone could not urge him up the
incline. Mr.. Gridley therefore lent his
aid, and either pulled or pushed Colonel
Sanders mount up the hill.
The summit reached, the road was dis
covered to be almost impossible for the
mule, on account of the ground being
covered with snow, and the colonel was
consequently forced to walk most OF the
way to Rattlesnake. at which point he
later nearly lost his life from the threat
ened attack Of a -desperado-one of Plum
mer's gang.
To make a long story short, it may be
remarked that while no claim was staked
by the colonel in the name OF my father,
Mr.. Gridley, or himself on his occasion,
Mr.. Gridley managed TO secure consider
able mining property here, and returning
east with us in 1865. realized from its sale
what was held o be a fortune in those
days. He went back to his former home
in Ohio, and there renewed the %acquaint-
ance of his divorced wife. Whether time
or separation wrought the change I do
not know, 1t is enough to say that old
differences were adjusted. they were re-
and so the first Montana di-
vorce had the happy ending demanded by
present-day fiction.
