WHITE COUNTY BAD MAN DEFIED SHERIFF

Monticello, Ind., July 2.—When Ben Price, Jr., sheriff of White county, and L. K. Witz, his deputy, answered a call Thursday afternoon to arrest Reuben Schnelly, charged with stealing a load of corn, they found a desperate man who defied them and they succeeded in taking him into custody only after billies, knives and revolvers had been brought into play and Schnelly was subdued-by the physical force of the two officers. Schnelly is lodged in the local jail with a seere gash in his head as a result of the encounter and required the services of Dr. A. B. Cray, a local physician, upon his arrival in this city. Schnelly is charged with the theft of a load of corn, which he is alleged to have sold at the Farmers’ Elevator at Chalmers and was arrested while en, route to his home just over the line in Benton county. For some time corn has been disappearing in that neighborhood ana yesterday Schnelly drove to a crib, loaded the corn and drove to Chalmers, where he disposed of it. A close watch had been kept by farmers in the vicinity where the corn was stolen and Schnelly’s wagon was tracked to Chalmers.

AMERICAN’S CREED.

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity, for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag and defend it against all enemies.

WEATHER. Fair tonight. Sunday probably local showers.

SUNDAY DAY FOR AMERICANS

RETURN OF NATION’S NATAL DAY TIME FOR THOUGHT BY AMERICANS. There are a number of days in the calendar that stand out prominently in the thought and action of the people of a our great nation. On Labor Day we stress the dignity of labor and strive to drive home the idea, not many centuries old and not sensed by some even "in the twentieth century, that it is an honor to work at any honest occupation. After this comes Thankgsgiving time when men following the example of the devout Puritan father of colonial times pause to thank the Giver of All Good for his bounty to the children of men. Then comes the Yuletide when the spirit of giving is freest, and when even the Croogs of the land forget their tight fistedness and join in the spreading of good cheer to all. After the dark and drear days of winter when the earth is brown and sear, comes the glad Easter time with its thoughts of the resurrection and renewed life, symbolized by swelling buds, singing birds, and humming bees. Memorial day comes soon after to remind us of the cost of the blessings we enjoy, in tears, in blood, in sacrifice and unselfshness. In and through all of these occasions runs a thought of faithfulness that our lot is cast in a great and free country where the individual can enjoy these special occasions as well as pursue the even tenor of his way day by day without fear of loss of liberty or an usurpation of his unalienable rights, but it is on the anniversary of .the birth of our nation that a day is given over solely to an expression of thankfulness for our land and its blessings, to a few hours of patriotic celebration, to a flow of oratory intended to inculcate a love for country and for flag, and to thoughtful consideration on the part of many how to insure the blessings of the liberty which we enjoy to posterity. It is*a law of nature well known that the mere having of a thing does not insure its keeping. Let a man hang his arm by his side for a year and what would it be worth? It is no less true' of the things of the spirit, patriotism for country included. Wise old Benjamin Franklin said to the members of the Continental Congress after they had signed the Declaration of Independence, the making of which was the initiation of this republic, “Well, gentlemen, we must all hang together or we’ll hang separately.” It is no less true today than then. Happy will this nation be when the great body politic comes to realize fully this truth. When what is best for the country shall have first consideration rather than what is best for self or party. Away with the hyphenates of the land. What we want is not German-Americans, nor Irish-Am ericans, nor FrenchAmericans, nor English-Americans, but AMERICANS. Pure, unadulterated, all wool and a yard wide Americans. It behooves every true American who Idves his country and wishes to see it continue to be the land of the free and the home of the brave” to take serious thought on this one hundred forty-fourth anniversray of the hurling defiance at a tyrant king and his henchmen (they were not the common people of England) as to how the weeds of anarchy, disorder, bolshevism, and all harmful isms shall be rooted out and the tree of true liberty be allowed to continue in vigorous growth; how disregard for the laws of both God and man shall be checked and a wholesome regard for law and righteousness fostered; and how the ideals of the demagogue shall be sidetracked and the ideals of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and other great leaders shall remain as the guiding stars of our people.

THE SPIRIT OF ’76 THIS IS A GOOD TOWN Wi In population. THIS IS A GOOD STATE It is the headquarters for the American Legion THIS IS A GOOD COUNTRY. With but 5 per cent of the earth’s population, we have 24 per cent of its agricultural production, 40 per cent of the mineral production, and we manufacture 35 per cent of its goods. Our natural wealth is above $225,000,000,000, while that of our neyest competitor, England, is but $80,000,000,000. Our victories at Lexington, Sumpter, Santiago, and Chateau Thierry have reaffirmed our liberties and kept this land of opportunity. Today there is no citizen so humble but may aspire to the greatest gifts within the hands of the populace; no lad so lowly but he may aim to lead the nation. RENSSELAER, IND.
