FRIEND

DETROIT, May I'm a confess
sion to the Detroit police yester-

gantown, w. Va, said he killed his
friend, Charles Cassidy, 35, April
~, near Morgantown, after a quar-
rel over rent debt. He then took
two S. bills from the pockets of
his victim and escaped to Detroit.
Greathouse, who at first said he
was kidnapped and brought here a
prisoner by another man who killed
Cassidy, is held for the Morgan
town police.
Greathouse nonchalantly walked
into the Fort Street station yester-
day and told Sergt. Robert Schies
he had been kidnapped and his friend
murdered. He asserted the stranger
then forced him to drive Cassidy's
car to Detroit.
Repudiates Story
Later, when questioned, Great
house repudiated his first story and
confessed to killing his friend.
Greathouse and Cassidy owed
room rent in Morgantown and his
landlady had appealed to him to

organization provided for the execu-
ton of its mandates and for ac-
countability of government to the
people. If follows that the govern
ment both in the executive and the
legislative branches must carry out
in good faith the platforms upon
which the party was entrusted with
power. But the government is that
of the whole people. The party is
the instrument through which poll
cies are determined and men chosen
to bring them into being. The an
imosities of elections should have nc
place in our government for govern
ment must concern iteslf alone with
the common veal.
Special Session of Congress
Action upon some of the proposals
upon which the Republican party was
returned to power, particularly fur
Their agricultural relief and limited
changes in the tariff cannot in Justice
to our farmers, our laborer and our
manufacturers be postponed. l shall
therefore request a special session of
Congress for the consideration of
these two questions. l shall deal with
each of them upon the assembly of
the Congress.
Mandates From the Election
1t appears to me that the more i'm
portant further mandates from the
recent election were the maintenance
of the integrity of the constitution;
the vigorous enforcement of the laws;
the continuance of economy in public
expenditure; the continued regula-
ton of business to prevent domina-
ton of ownership of operation of
business by the government in COM
petition with it's citizens; the avoid
ance of politics which would involve
US in the controversies of foreign ma
lions; the more effective reorganiza-
ton of the departments of the federal
government; the expansion of public
works; and promotion of welfare &C
tivities affecting education and the
home.
These were the more tangible de-
Examinations of the election, but be-
yond them was the confidence and
belief of the people that we would
not neglect the support of the en-
bedded ideals and aspirations of
America. These ideals and aspira-
lions are the touch-stones upon
which the day to day administration
and legislative acts of government
must be tested. More than this, the
government must, so far as lies with
in its proper powers, give leadership
to the realization of these ideals and
to the fruition of these aspirations.
No one can adequately reduce these
things of the spirit to phrases or to
a catalogue of definitions. We do
know what the attachments of these
ideals should be. The preservation
of self-government and its full foun-

dations in local government; the per-
lection of justice whether in economic
or in social fields, the maintenance of
ordered liberty; the denial of domi-
nation by any group or class; the
building up and preservation of
equality or opportunity; the stimula-
ton of initiative and individuality;
absolute integrity in public affairs;
the choice Of officials for fitness to
Office; the direction of economic
progress toward prosperity and tn
further lessening of poverty; the
freedom of public opinion; the sus-
tanning Of education and of the ad-
vancement of knowledge; the growth
Of religious spirit and the tolerance
Of all faiths; the strengthening of
the home; the advancement of peace.
No Short Road to Progress
There is no short road to the real
ization of these aspirations. Ours is
progressive people, but with a de-
termination that progress must be
based upon the foundation of expert
ence. Ill-considered remedies for our
faults bring only penalties after
them. But if we hold the faith of
the men in our mighty past who
created these ideals, we shall leave
them heightened and STRENGTHENED
for our children.
In Conclusion
This is not the time and place for
extended discussion. The questions
before our country are problems of
progress to higher standards. They
are not the problems of degeneration.
they demand thought and they serve
to quicken the. conscience and enlist
our sense Of responsibility for their
settlement. And that responsibility
rests upon you, my countrymen, as
much upon those of us who have
been selected for office.
Ours is a land rich in resources;
stimulating in its glorious beauty;
filled with millions of happy homes;
blessed with comfort and opportun-
ity. In no nation are the institutions
of progress more advanced. In no
nation are the fruits of accomplish
ment more secure. In no nation is
the government more worthy of re-
spect. No country is more loved by
its people. l have an abiding faith
in their capacity, integrity and high
purpose. l have no fears for the fu-
ture of our country. 1t is bright with
hope.
In the presence of my countrymen,
mindful of the solemnity of this oc-
casion, knowing what the task means
and the responsibility which it in
wolves, l beg your tolerance, your aid
and your cooperation. l ask the help
of Almighty God in this service to
my country to which you have called
me.

COMES FROM EUROPE
TO STUDY BUG PESTS

l. J. Rasek, a Czecho-S lovakian, is
at the Minnesota College of Agricul-
ture this fall to make a special study
of the Nun moth, relative to the
Gypsy moth, as a means of helping
his home country to conserve its
White Spruce forests. He will pur-
sue his studies in the division of en-
tomology and will be assisted in fin
ancing his course by one of the Caleb
Dorr fellowships of the college.
His special study will be the use of
insecticides in a warfare against the
Nun moth, which is playing havoc
with Czecho-Slovakia's White Spruce
forests. These forests have been de-
veloped in recent vars on areas form
rly occupied by deciduous trees. They
are threatened now by the moth men
toned. 1t is understood that he will
also give attention to a wilt disease
which does much damage in the same
field.
