Consider. then. John D. M. Hamil-

He is now engaged in a battle that
will last until Election day In No.

Hamilton's sportsmanship is more
than that of opportunism. 1t is more
than that of good fellowship. It Is
the simon-pure quality of the man
who plays the game for the love of
it, takes defeat with a grin and goes
out to win for the team regardless of
any personal feelings from out OF

Hamilton. true to the game, is f1ght-

Let us look back for a moment to
the years when these two were max
ing political history in Kansas.
After four years as probate Judge
of Shawnee County, Kans., of which
Topeka is the county seat, Hamilton
came face up against the Ku Klux
Klan in 1924 when he ran for the
State Legislature. 1t was a furious
fight, but he won. During his term
the Klan was denied a charter by
the secretary of State, and Hamilton
led the successful fight against bill
that would have made charter pos
sible.
In 1926 he went to the electorate
again, and won. In this term he was
made Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives and won a State wide
name for himself. But his restless
nature demanded more victories, and
he announced himself a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor at the primaries In 1928.

POLICE TRACE
RUSSELL PRIOR
TO DEATH

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16 G.N.S)
A reenactment of the mysterious
death Of Reid Russell, 28-year-old
automobile salesman, high lighted
investigation of the tragedy today.
BY tracing the known move
ments of Russell up to the time
his body was found in garden
swing on the estate of his friends,
Gouverneur Morris, internationally
famous novelist, and Mrs. Morris,
authorities hoped to determine
definitely whether he shot himself
while respondent or was the VIC
tim of a carefully planned murder.
Meanwhile, interest centered on
the missing bullet that crashed
through Russells head, killing
him almost instantly. 1t consti-
tuted the big question mark, in
veStigators said, in a case that
might normally be written off as
q suicide.
Russell's body lay, face turned
to the sky, on the garden swing,
an automatic pistol clutched in
the right hand. One theory is
Russell sat down, shot himself
through the head and then col
lapsed on the swing. But the bull
let, which passed through his
head and emerged behind the left
ear has not been found.
Police did dig from the padded
side of the swing a 90 caliber bull
let. but the one that killed Russell
was of 80 caliber, they pointed
out.
Mrs. Morris recalled the con-
tents of the suicide" note she
said Russell left her and which
she burned in the presence of Lila
Lee, film actress, several days
after the tragedy, which occurred
last September 25, as follows:
Dear Ruth: You thought I
would not do it but now you
know.
''This has been the happiest
vacation / have had in a long
time. Thanks a lot for every
thing.
81 hope you don't think I
didn't keep my chin up.
Good bye. "REID."
Mrs. Morris explained she found
the note tucked away on her
dresser several days after the
tragedy and decided that since
authorities had concluded it was
q case Of suicide that it would be
best to destroy it and prevent
additional publicity.

ONE MIN TIE
Sc MON
The Everlasting Cross
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

The lamb slain from the foundation
of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 1873.
Calvary's Cross has long since
crumbled into dust. Yet that cross
was but symbol of the real Cross,
the eternal Cross upon which the
Saviour of the world is forever suf-
fering to make atonement for human
sins-for your sins and mine. Human
sin nailed Christ to the Cross-a par
able: whenever, wherever man sins,
Christ is Jerucifed. Whenever, where
ever we break Gods holy law, we
also break Gods heart. Every act of
disloyalty and every act of disobe-
dience pierces the soul of our Saviour
and perpetuates the agony of Golgo-
tina. So long as one prodigal son is
astray in far country of slefshness
and sin, the Fathers heart is filled
with sorrow and suffering.
We must not think of Calvary's
cross as an isolated event of ancient
history, but rather as a symbol of the
eternal tragedy of atoning sacrifice.
Surely, even heart of flint would be
melted to remorse, moved to repent
ance, and brought home to the Faith
er's House by the vision of the Cross
Christ the innocent One, Christ our
best friend, bearing the penalty of
our sins; Christ dying for us that we
through his death may have life more
abundant and life eternal.

OUTLOOK SLIM FOR ABLE
BODIED MEN TO GET AID
No Opportunity Presented At
Present By Welfare Board

care you able to work, or is any
member of your family able to work ?"
is the first question asked every ap-
plicant for help at the Welfare Office.
If the answer is mo" the application
is taken and if there is need in the
family, help is assured. If the answer
is eyes, can work or some member
of my family can work." the applica-
ton is not even taken. This is the
statement of Miss Ethel Miller, ex-
ecutive secretary of the local Welfare
Board last evening.
Works Progress Administration
with offices in Cumberland, was ex-
pected to place all able bodied men and
women eligible for relief on jobs. The
Welfare Office, until March End, was
instructed to take applications for
work, make the Investigations and
certify persons for WPA jobs. Since
March End, WPA has refused to &C.
cept any further certifcations as they
are planning to begin laying off men
on road projects very soon.
In January the Welfare Board de-
cided that because of WPA jobs, relief
should not be given employables. Since
that ruling was passed the Welfare
Board has cared only for unemploya-
bles. An unemployable is man or a
woman who is unable to work because
of physical or mental disability. IN
less the disability is obvious a doc
tors certificate is required.
Persons now being helped by the
Welfare Board include the following
groups: (1) Persons over 65 years of
age, eligible for old age relief; ~
Families in which either the mother
or father is dead, absent from home or
unable to support the children because
of physical or mental disability-eligi-
BILE under "Aid to Dependent Chill
dren" fund, and, (3) Families in which
the wage Garner is physically or men
tally disabled either temporarily or
permanently, eligible under General
Public Assistance" fund.
"The outlook for the able bodied
man or woman on government jobs is
rather discouraging," Miss Miller
said, eff he is now employed on WPA
job he will probably be transferred
to Resettlement and have a steady
job for some time. If he is not now on
WPA there seems to be no opportuni-
ty for him to get on either WPA or
Resettlement."
