ORDER OF PUBLICATION

The object of this suit is to procure
a decree for a divorce a vinculo mat
rimonii by the plaintiff, Elizabeth M.
Gunby, from the defendant, Martin
Powell Gunby.
The Bill recites that the parties
were married on or about the 30th
day of November, 1927, in Worcester
County, Maryland, removing thereaf-
ter to Aberdeen, Maryland, but later
returning to Worcester County, Mary
land, in 1928.
That though the conduct of the
plaintiff towards the defendant has
always been kind, affectionate and a.
bove reproach, the said defendant did,
without any just cause or reason de-
sert the plaintiff during the summer
of 1885, and has declared his unwill--
ingness to live longer with her and
that such abandonment has continued
uninterruptedly for more than three
years and is deliberate and final and
the separation of the parties beyond
any reasonable expectation of recon-
ciliation. That one child, Martin
Powell Gunby, Jr., aged nine, was
born as a result of said marriage.
That the plaintiff has been a resident
of Worcester County for more than
two years prior to the time of the
filing of said suit and the defendant,
Martin Powell Gunby, when last heard
from, was residing in Martinsburg,
West Virginia.
1t is, thereupon, by the Circuit Court
for Worcester County, Maryland, in
Equity, ordered, this End day of Sep
tember, 1888, that the plaintiff, Eliza
beth M. Gunby, by causing copy of
this order to be inserted in some
newspaper published in Worcestex
County, Maryland, once in each of
four successive weeks before the 10th
day of October, 1888, giving notice to
the said absent defendant, Martin
Powell Gunby, of the object and sub
stance of this Bill, warning him to
appear in this Court either in person
or by solicitor on or before the 26th
day of October, 1888, to show cause, if
any he has, why decree ought not
to be passed as prayed.

Unhappy Lobbyist
(New York World-Telegram1

(New York World -Telegram)
 Somehow we can't work up very high tempera- ture over John L. Lewis two personally conducted lobbying expeditions into the halls of Congress.
 The measure which MT. Lewis and his Com mittee for Industrial Organization ieutenans wanted the House to pass happened to be that thought dangerous. We agree that the government shouldn't award contracts to firms that violate it's labor laws. But we did not agree that the Secretary of Labor should be given unlimited discretionary power to blacklist firms merely accused of disobeying the Ma tional Labor Relations Board
 MT Lewis however was entitled to his opinion. He was entitled to let Congress know his opinion. Perhaps he was even entitled to park himself in Speaker Bankheads office, call in members of the House Rules Committee and try to tell them what to do. At least he operated openly which good many lobbyists do not.
 So we don't believe that MT. Lewis has seriously undermined the foundations of the republic. The chief damage done we suspect is the public stature of John L. Lewis, credited with ability to make politicians trembe by waving his eyebrows, self revealed as who gives orders to Congress and can't get them obeyed
 MT. Lewis reputation for sagacty also has suf- fered He might have realized that most Congressman have to gain with their constituents by defyng CIO "dctation" than they have to fear from his dis pleasure In addition to losing his point he made himself target for such iibes this from Ohos Repre- sentative Lamneck:
 John l. Lewis frowns have lost their force Per haps his clouding up and threatening to rain will prove the clearing shower before the sunshine of industrial peace in our nation
 But MT Lewis takes the gloomy view. The action of the Rules Committee" he said after his final turndown from Speaker Bankhead was not only cowardly but downright pusilanimous." Or the New York garment manufacturer reproached his com- petitor What you have done to is not only unethical but lousy.'

PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN

Residents of this community, parents in particular, will be startled by the report in Wednesdays Empire that little ye-year-old girl had been moested by man after being lured away from her play with the offer of candy We read of such things in various parts of the country but in a small community such as this we usually feel that such thing cant happen here.
 It is not purpose to discuss the merits oi the reported case in Juneau But such things do happen as evidenced by the atrocous attacks which emanate from time time from the States and too often they result more ragicaly than the now reported here Usually full punishment is meted out to the perpetra tors of such vicious actions Some have been hung as well they should be But that doesn't remove the tragedy which may have befallen the victim.
 To protect those, in addition to vigorous law en- forcement and prosecution there must be accepted by parents and guardians of small children full reSponsl- biity for their Youngsters should be taught and trained in the facts of life; the ugly along with the better things So long as there is vicousness among human beings, and there probably always will be, children must be warned and educated against it. The child who knows is far safer in this unsafe world than the who wanders about in lovely innocence, finding out in the wrong way that the world isn't such beautiful place sometimes the story books depict.

The Stakes In November
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer
 There is a disposition evident on all sides 10 regard the fall elections nothing than refer endum on the Roosevelt Administration. It would be disastrous if this were the extent of popular thinking the question:
 Some contests for the House and Senate will undoubtedly be just that. Naturally. candidates advocacy of repudiation of the New Deal will loom large But the election of nearly 500 Representatives to Congress is not nearly so simple.
 With only little than one third of the Senate to be elected there is possibility of changing the Democratic majority In all probability there will be a Democratic majority in the House The question at issue is not which party will control Congress The problem is rather to obtain substantial intelligent opposition for the administration, and to place in Congress majority of sane thoughtful, independent men,
 That is why the utmost emphasis should be placed on the individual candidates for House and Senate. The public task this summer and fall to protect the traditional American system of government, is to choose able, honest, fearless If do that we do not need to worry which party has majority, or whether the election mandate or repudiation of the New Deal.
 This country can survive years and years of rule by either party But it cannot survive the members of Congress are such partisans to become mere creatures of a party leader The election of several hundred legislators of courage and intelligence should be our concern. regardless of party labels

 The planetary influences favor leadership and presage the rise of new figures in American life. Young men will gain recognition but they will be inclined to be too confident of success.
 Mental processes are positive under this rule of the stars which encourages all who follow the learned professions. Although more and more demand for brawn will be apparent, brains are well direct ed today.
 Relaxation which permits con- structive thinking is under favor abe rule of the stars. Planning should be lucky
 Women are fairly fortunate while this configuration continues. The stars smile upon domestic interests and love affairs.
 pacts among members of organi- zations as well as between govern ment heads Again the seers proph- esy that intrigue. double-de and indirection will mark many i'm portant public policies.
 Thunderstorms will follow peri ods of excessive heat in many parts of the United States. Earthquakes in foreign lands will cause heavy losses. On the Pacific coast and in western sections there will be light tremblors.
