trast to much that we read and hear
today. He had caught the deep mean
ing of the words that Jesus Christ ut
tered from the cross: Father, forgive
them, they know not what they do" His
zeal for the cause to which his country
was committed could not blunt his sense
OF loyalty to the teachings of Him who,
even in His agony. asked forgiveness for
those who had slain Him.
1t is men like Stephen Benet who will
ultimately prevail and restore order and
tranquility to warning world. Pun
lshment of those who do evil things
must be inevitable and certain, but once
the penalty has been paid and order
restored, the remaking and re-ordering
OF national and international relations
must be prosecuted through agencies
motlvated by the ideals that prompted
Benet to pray for faith that would
"let us march toward the clean world
our hands can make"
All this does not mean the lesseninp
OF our endeavors to bring victory to
our arms at as early day as may be
possible. 1t does not mean the relaxing
OF effort, nor our ready recognition
of the sacrifices the war entails. 1t
does mean that We shall not only keep
our heads at time of grave crisis, but
that we shall hold tenaciously to the re-
hglous faith that has contributed SO
nightly to our Nations greatness and
power. The brave young men on sea
and land and in the air who are rem
derlng such heroic and self-sacrifcing
service today are stirred to action by
the consciousness of their Nations high
Ideals and its purpose to accomplish the
ends for which Stephen Benet prayed,
"A common faith that man shall know
bread and peace, that he shall know
justice and righteousness, freedom and
security, an equal opportunity and an
equal chance to do his best, not ONLY
IN our own land but Throughout the
world"

Jefferson Memorial

TIdIlS now are complete Tor the
dedication of the Thomas Jefferson
Memorial on April 49, The beautiful
white marble structure rises above
the Tidal Basin as a glorious com
panion piece" for the Washington
Monument and the temple in which
Daniel Chester French's Lincoln sits
IN silent contemplation. Designed by
John Russell Pope Associates, Otto r.
Eggers and Daniel Paul Higgins and
consciously intended to represent the
third Presidents own conception of
a noble architectural achievement,
the building is fundamentally classic
in its lines. The columns, 26 in num-
ber, each 43 feet high, are starkly
Ionic; the dome follows a principle
which may be detected at Monticello,
the color is as pure as the ideal of
freedom championed by the author
OF the Declaration of independence.
All this is as it should be. jefferson
was not modern man, and it is fit
ting and proper that the Nations
tribute to him should be faithful to
his character, his personality and
his spirit. He owed much to the
Greeks of antiquity, and his debt is
paid for him in the magnificent
memorial chamber, 80 feet in diam
eter, where his statue, created by
Rudolph Evans, stands The inscrip-
tions of the frieze include quotations
from the writings by which the great
Virginian libertarian is best remem-
bered the world around A pilgrim,

reaches the hall through plaza and
portico f1anked by English and Irish
yeWs, holly, dogwood, jasmine and
cherry trees arranged by Frederick
Law Olmsted in a manner which
Jefferson himself, it safely may be
supposed, would have approved. Over
the entrance is a sculptured group
by Adolph A. Weinman depicting
Benjamin Franklin, John Adams,
Roger Sherman and Robert Livings-
ton listening to the reading of the
charter of American nationhood.
The memorial, naturally, will be
judged in comparison to other monu-
mental edifces constructed in the
Capital of the United States in recent
years. It bears an intimate relation
with the Supreme Court Building, the
Library of Congress Annex, the Folger
Shakespeare Library, the National
Gallery of Art and such smaller
master works as the home of the
American Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton. That is supplementary way
OF saying that it contributes to the
fulfllment of the hope and the vision
which Jefferson shared with Wash
ington for the Federal Town with the
establishment of which they both
were concerned. A new Athens" in
the Western Hemisphere was what
they dreamed for their countrymen,

I came into conference with him
that, after all, it was rather little

with one another, and did not too

wish to come together that is more
than half of the process"

He once had owned two gold
49, mines, from which he got some
gold nuggets. In themselves
they were not OF great value.
But secretly Manly buried the gold mug
gets in plot of earth which he called the
Mystic Mine, then interested outsiders who
bought shares in it. Test diggings revealed
what seemed TO be a high yield of gold But
they were one~the nuggets which Manly had
"salted" there.
Many bought shares and turned bitter
when the Mystic yielded no more nuggets.
Some Of those who felt bitter at being cheated
were men whose enmity was a dangerous
thing TO live with. 1t seemed possible that
either they or Manly would come to some
violent end over the mine.
Martin then discovered that the inventive
and resourceful Manly had organized what he
called 'the Secret Civil Service" It's purpose
was supposed to be cooperation with the
United States Secret Service in running down
wanted criminals.
Manly presented the scheme to selected
individuals as a combination of patriotism and
profit In return for money invested. MEM
bers of the Secret Civil Service would share
the rewards for the capture of the criminals
on whose trail their secret organization would
be concentrated.
Again men bought shares in Manbys en-.
tcrprise-and later turned bitter.
But others found it profitable to work as
a band Of armed men in secret on missions Of
their own MANLY was leader. Many who
felt violently toward him as the result of their
investment in the Mystic Mine began TO hear
reports about the activities Of the Secret Civil
Service. nebulous stories but Of a kind that
discouraged thoughts of proceeding violently
against Manly.
There was James Wilkinson, an old gold
miner who invested most Of his cash in Man
by's mine When he decided that he had been
cheated he went TO Manly and threatened
legal prosecution unless Manly returned TO
him every cent Wilkinson had sunk in the
Mystic Mine.
Manly soothed him with promises Of fun
restitution. But almost Immediately WIKI
inson disappeared. Detective Martin was
assigned 10 the hunt for him. He followed
lunches and trails that led him up the steep
slopes Of Mount Badly not far from Taos
There in a clump Of brush Martin found a
hcadloss body Near by he found head. II
was Wilkinson.
Clues were too tenuous 10 indict anybody
for the murder but many who feared Manly

now suppressed their complaints those who
hated him stepped warly That did not mean
however that MANLY did not have to step
warily himself For there were some who
both hated him and hid their feeling with
smiles when they met him But these were
men whom Manly respected for their capacity
to do him harm if he gave them the chance
Detective Martin, on the trail for the eX-
PLANTATION of the death of Manly, again fol
lowed lunches and again secured the neigh
borhood of Mount Badly This time he found
not one, but seven bcheaded bodies, their
skulls near by.
But again clues were too few to warrant
any conclusion except that whoever killed
James Wilkinson probably killed the others
and that Mount Badly was the killers private
burial ground.
So the trail Of Manbys murderer disap-
peared into of many mazes. Terecita
Ferguson and her common-law husband, Car
men Duran, and young George Ferguson,
who had brought about discovery of Manby's
body later were convicted in the footing Of
an artists home near Taos and fell victims
to New Mexican law. All three Of them were
sentenced to terms in prison after young
Ferguson testified against his aunt
The mystery Of Manbys death remains,
therefore, unsolvod
Further. an added twist 10 the mystery is
the question, now asked by many in Taos was
il Manly who was found dead in his house
For, they reason, there was the fact that the
skull found in the house was definitely not
Manbys as its size and Manby's known head
size were Sc different And there was no
proof that the body was Manbys. On the con
trary. It Was found already disintegrating,
whereas Manly was seen alive only two days
before the body was found
The climate of Taos, cool and dry would
have worked little change on the body in so
short time
Suppose, this theory, Mandy decided
that life in Taos was becoming too strenuous
for him. He had bitter enemies. He faced
exposure OF his frauds. II was understand
able that a plan would appeal TO him which
would make his enemies and victims believe
him dead IT, as many believe, the dead on
Mount Badly were Manbys dead, 1t would
have been easy 10 help himself TO his private
cemetery" and put a corpse and a skull where
II would Doe taken for his own. Then he could
disappear and take up life elsewhere.

IT WAS on a golden day Of sun and blue sky,
1 July 3. 1929, in the plateau town OF Taos,
y New Mexico which so many painters,
writers and Indians consider high heaven,
that George Ferguson a Spanish American
youth, saw a dance Of bluebottle flies outside
the front door OF the home of Arthur Rock

With troubled face Ferguson reported the
fact 10 the sheriff.
"Buebottie flies outside a keyhole means
a corpse inside the house" Ferguson insisted.
The sheriff several deputies and cowboy
in town for visit, hurried 10 the Manly
home AS they entered the placita, garden
surrounded by thick adobe walls. huge Ger

fought 1t off until the cowboy lassoed the dog
with a clothesne and trlssed IL up.
From inside the house they heard the rag

It WAS locked Two deputies broke Il open
and leaned aside as another police dog sprang

IN MEMORIAM

In sad but loving remembrance OF
my beloved wife and our beloved
mother, Maude May Sines, who passed
away two years ago, February Is
1871.
We were sitting by her bedside
And we saw her life depart,
And when we knew she had gone,
1t almost broke our hearts.
We tried so hard to save her
Our prayers were all in vain;
This world would seem like heaven,
If we had her back again.
Just when life was sweetest,
And she could have loved her best,
The gates Of heaven opened
And she entered eternal rest.
No one knows how much we miss you;
No one knows the bitter pain
We have suffered since we lost you,
Life has not been the same.
Gone, but not forgotten,
BY one who loved you dear
Every hour of the day,
| wish that you were here,
My heart still aches with sadness,
My eyes shed many a tear
God only knows how we miss you
At the end Of these two long years
C. B. SINES, Your Husband,
and Children.

FIELD ORGIES LAID TO
WORKERS RECRUITED
BY FSA IN FLORIDA

Another, and wholly different pic
ture Of workers recruited by repre-
sentatives Of the Farm Security Ad-
ministration in Florida, is exhibited
by an Associated Press dispatch un-
der date Of February %, eminating
from Washington, D. c., the article in
question and in full being as follows:
"Some of the agricultural workers
recruited by the Government were
described on Monday as shiftless riff
raft, given to bringing whiskey and
loose women into the fields to stage
orgies
"Testimony to this effect by L. l..
Chandler, fruit and vegetable pro
ducer of Goulds, Fla, preciptated a
demand from Representative Cannon,
3D., Fla.) for an investigation Of
Farm Security Administration and
United States Employment Service
manpower recruitment policies.
"Pampered" Negroes
"Chandler told a Senate Agriculture
subcommittee the FSA so 'pampered,
petted and spoiled a group of Ne
groes recruited for him in Mississippi
that they 'thumbed their noses at me.
He testified one group pooled their
money and sent for a case of bourbon
whiskey and loose women followed
them into the fields.
Bruce Church, Salinas (Cal) farm
er and shipper, supplemented Chand-
ler's testimony with statement that
in his area 1t has come to the point
where laborers start their weekend
drinking on Friday night and they
might as we'll not work on Monday,
because they have terrific headaches
and are lying down in the middle Of
the road
Not until Tuesday afternoon Mr..
Church asserted, do you start getting
efficiency He advocated closing all
liquor establishments on Sunday.
"Chandler said Paul v McNutt,
chairman Of the War Manpower Com
mission, thus far had refused permits
sion to import $4,000 agricultural
workers from the Bahamas, insisting
the domestic supply should be eX-
hausted first.
The witness said the trouble with
the domestic supply was that most
worthwhile workers already were en-
ployed OF in the army and that F'SA
social reforms had led the remainder
to feel that they should demand more
and more money for less and less
work
