Change in Primary
Hartford City News.i

The change in the primary law
compelling candidates to file petit
tons signed by one-half of l per
cent of the votes cast for secretary
of state in order to get their names
on the ballot, was apparently de-
signed to make fewer candidates
but it may not necessarily work out
that way because the required num-
Der of signatures is not sufficiently
large to deter those with yen for
office.
Some voters may not want to thus
publicly commit themselves. but the
task of securing the required num-
Der of signers should not be very
difficult. Those who seek office at
the urging of their friends will have
a chance to see how strong the
urging IS.

ASKS FREEDOM FOR u. S.
BUSINESS MEN

BY Reader
What the United States needs for
recovery is reinstatement of the
American business man in business
with good standing. Take govern
ment interference out of mis- bust
ness and eliminate the union
racket, and give him back faith in
his ability to operate his business.
The NRA took from the business
owner his right to set a price for
his product, his right to set mis- ex-
penditures, and his right to discuss
his problems with his employees.
In my instance, before the era of
the NRA, I was paying my employees
$25 a week for a siX-day week.
And, by the way, my employees are
not skilled workmen, and the aver
age salary in my locality for this
type of labor was $18 a week. In
five years had increased my en-
ployes from to IS. my salaries
from $18 to $25 weekly.
The biggest racket in the United
States today is the compulsory pay
off by the workers to an organiza-
ton which operates under the name
of organized labor, hiding under
section IA of the NRA code and
shielded under the wings of the
American Federation of Labor!
For the past two years I have

THAT CHRISTMAS EVE
RV MARY WARD

Were the little sheep-bells ringing,
When the harbinger came bringing
Tidings of the Christ child, in his
lowly bed?
Did shepherds in the mountain

Kneel among dew-jeweled grasses,
While shone the star of Bethlehem
overhead?

A WOMAN friend, M. Z. D., is
IA giving a friend a diary for
Christmas. That gives me a twinge
of conscience. I have always in
tended to keep a diary but never
got around to it. People should
keep diaries if only because they
are a check on bad conduct. If a
fellow has to write down all he does
every day, fear of exposure will
make him keep himself in line.
Diaries are like New Year reso-
lutions; always intended, seldom
kept. We start the New Year right
and then go on leaving undone the
things we ought to do and doing
the things we ought not to do until,
as the Prayer Book says, there is
no health in u.s."
For instance, I have always in
tended to learn to bowl. My reason
is that I have observed that most
bowlers are persons of good char
acter and steady habits. They seem
to draw their inspiration out of the
bowling instead of the bowl.
II MET wise man the other day
l. and we got to talking about what
makes the best Christmas gift. He
said that if only somebody could give
another person the gift Of good
Judgment that would make the best
gift of all. I thought I'd just pass
it on.
He is an indianapolis lawyer who
gets weary of trying to pull people
out of messes into which they have
gotten themselves, not through bad
intention, but through bad judg-
ment. Most of the unhappinesS
springs from wrong choices by
otherwise excellent people.

RACE FALL BREAKS
BACK IN 8 PLACES
F. M. Tompkins Is Critically
Hurt in MiddIeburg
SteepIechase.

His back broken in three places
when q horse fell with him in a
steeplechase at Middleburg yesterday
afternoon, Francis Meade TompkinS,
27. son of a prominent Washington
building contractor and real estate
man, was in a critical condition at
Emergency Hospital today. While he
is expected to recover, physicians said
Tompkins probably would remain in
the hospital for at least two months.
He was riding his first race when
Steel Trap, owned by his mother,
Mrs. Ida r. Tompkins, fell at the
second jump of the Little River, 2
mile brush test.
Pushed Horse Forward.
Steel Trap had been left at the
post and Tompkins had rushed him
forward into contention by the time
they reached the first jump. He
cleared that obstacle on the outside,
and going to the second fence was
still on the outer edge until just be-
fore he reached the take-off, when he
swing his mount in behind another
horse.
Steel Trap jumped off the hooks
of the horse in front, struck the
fence and went down heavily. Neither
horse nor rider was able to rise.
Spectators helped Tompkins to an
ambulance and after examination at
nearby house, he was rushed to the
hospital here, where X-rays revealed
he had fractured three vertebrae In
the upper part of his back.
Steel Trap, temporarily stunned by
the fall, rose and cantered off, ap-
parently uninjured, after lying on the
ground for few minutes.
Involved in Car Fatality.
Tompkins recently was involved in
an automobile accident which resulted
in the death of Mrs. Ruth Storey, an
employe of the District Building. Driv-
ing a car belonging to Mrs. Olga
Bayne Sturtevant he ran over street
car platform at Fourteenth and Penn
sylvania avenue. Mrs. Storey died
later the same day from injuries re-
ceived when the car hit her.
After a coroner's hearing, Tompkins
was held responsible for the death
and held under bond for the action of
the grand jury.
