Such economic phrases as free competition" and rugged individualism" are out worn and impractical and are seek ing their resting place with other archaic falsehoods, he declared.
 "Avowed opponents of human rights, the Liberty leaguers, Man ufacturers Association, U. s.

(Continued from Page 1.) Churchelow and the expected ar- rest of Giles, but 1t was apparent that the arrests were in connection with the Armour case, which was the biggest burglary here in years, the cash loot alone totaling $2.500. Churchelow is said to be a former employe of the Armour company. It was indicated that he would be familiar with the offices that were entered.
 The burglary, at the time 1t was perpetrated. was kept secret by po- lice, supposedly at the request of the Armour Co. Two days after ward, however, full and exclusive information about the sensational break was featured in The Demo- crat. The company then admitted the burglary had taken place, but decried the newspaper publicity.
 Uncovered by Democrat
 News of the burglary, the larg- est here in many years, was un- covered by the Democrat Decem- Der 10th, although the robebry &C., tually occurred on the 7th. In the hope of tracing the thief dur ing the week end police withheld all reports of the crime.
 First discovery of the theft was made Friday morning, December ' when the safe was opened at the beginning of the days business. Office workers who opened the safe found that the entire interior had been ransacked and that $2,- 500 in cash and more than $500 In checks had been taken. After footing the safe, the heavy doors had been closed.
 Entrance to the building was gained by forcing open a window. The catch on the window facing the railroad siding, which is used by tho shipping department of the company, was jimmied open. and entrance into the oce where the safe stood was then an easy mat ter.
 Safe Undamagcd
 Police worked for some time pursued investigations on the the- ory that the robbery was the work of an experienced safe-cracker. The outside of the safe was un- damaged and 1t appeared likely that the inert was committed by what the criminal world calls the touch system." an expression characterizlng the Jimmy Valen- tine method of entry.
 The safe was as nearly burglar proof as possible, thus further strengthening the belief that 1t had been opened by criminal yersed in the art of discovering the combination by the minute clicking sound made when dials are turned.
 Indications were that close study of the building had been made before the burglary was made. After opening the window the safe had been directly ap. preached. Nothing else in the building was disturbed and the safe presented it's usual appearance un- til 1t was opened on the morning of the theft.
