by Arthur Brisbane EAGLES, OSPREYS CROWS CORSAIR SAILS WHAT IS WRONG? THREE BETTER THINGS

In Alberta's huge Jasper park, Fred Brewsty, a Rocky mountain guide, watches eagles and ospreys, also called “fish hawks,” sitting on, the high limbs of a tree, eagles at the top, ospreys below and still lower down plain crows, all watching the lake. An osprey drops, bringing up a fish. Two eagles pursue, the frightened osprey drops the fish. The eagles try to catch it, usually fail. I The crows, flying close to the surface, in a body, never fail always get the falling fish and enjoy it. There you have our civilization upside down. With us, those nearest the ground get the least, those next above get a little more, and 1 those at the very top get practically j everything. J. Pierpont Morgan of Broad ' Wall streets ordered his big yacht, " Corsair, to his front door on East I 1 island, and will cross for a short vacation in England Once such a trip might have aroused envy but no more. The 1 traveling sa’esrnan, the ‘lidy buyer” < for a department store, almost any- I body, may cross on a bigger, faster finer boat than the Coniaii at a very reasonable price. ’ The wise socialism is that which i gives to the big crowd bigger and ] •better ships, parks and hotels than any individual, no matter how rich, i could afford for himself. 1j Also, among Americans of the ” right kind a man and woman take j pride in improving their own little | house or boat, wasting no time in foolish envy of others. There is no , real happiness of possession, except in what we earn. 1, What is the matter with his coun- j try, swindled by assorted gangs of i 1 pAliticians. robbed- by innumerable gangs of grafters, racketeers, highwaymen, degraded by indecent moving pictures and other entertainments, the public peace and faint sigh of returning prosperity imperiled by strike troubles and violence? Has the United States become a sort of “western China ” unable to take care of itself? In What direction is it headed. President Roosevelt., warmly welcomed by marching, ' singing and ■ praising citizens in Porto Rico and 1 the Virgin islands, hoped to make 1 the new deal reach every corner of the United States, saying: “I believe in better homes, better living conditions, and a better chance to earn a living. Everybody believes in those things and since the beginning of history, and long before, has been trying to get them. The question is how tu provide those things permanently The widespread attack on disgracefully immoral moving pictures has compelled those that trade in indecency to take their minds off the box office for a moment and consider a serious danger. . The crusade against indecency led by the Catholic church and directed by the Archbishop of Baltimore, who began' the crusade, has been joined by Jewish synagogues and rabbis, and now many Protestant bodies have decided to take part. Rudolph Hess, representing Hitler, and speaking as “a soldier of the front,” suddenly changed, in his j broadcast from German to French, j and appealed to the old enemy across the line not to make necee*. sary the building of new trenches urging that trench life is not pleasant. Herr Hess might have added in his speech: “While our German troops never reached Paris in all the four years • of the last war, remember that German airplanes would reach there in the first two or three hours of the next war and a few hours later not one of the great monuments of Paris would be left standing; not Notre Dame, the Madeleine or the beautiful Sainte Chapelle. ” Bombing airmen will not spare monuments dearest to the enemy. Everything would run smoothly if all the United States representatives and senators felt as G. Bryant of West Virginia feels. A candidate for congress, his platform reads: “I am behind President Roosevelt all the way. I*ll jump off the top of the Washington monument if he wants n»« to • A solid house and senate like that would make Fascism unnecesstry. Congratulate liossolini. “Dressed in boots, old trousers and a blue sweater,” he helped Italian workers Io harvest crops on the Pontine marshes, changed by him from fe-ver-breeding swamps into fertile dry ground. Mussolini and modern machinery did It, where former rulers had tried and failed.

POSTMASTER CHANGE DUE IN SYRACUSE? Bert Whitehead Named By County Head of Democrats. From reliable sources, the Journal obtained the information that on or about August Ist, Bertram Whitehead will succeed Louis T. Heerman as postmaster in Syracuse; Mrs Ida Jensen will succeed Mrs. Ward as assistant, and Russell will retain his position. It was learned that the county Democratic chairman Anglin met with Democratic precinct committeemen and women of Turkey Creek township, last week in Warsaw, to decide who would be the next postmaster in Syracuse. At this time the above named was chosen. Louis Heerman stated, when asked that he has received no notice that his term is at an end. It is customary at the end of a postmaster’s four year term, to announce the office is open for applicants to apply for the position. But in this case Mr. Heerman has been postmaster but two years. It is reported, by the same reliable authority, that he is charged with having taken voters to the polls on election day in his automobile, and so is to be relieved of his position. It *has also been reported, that Mr Anglin said that Mr. Whitehead is to be appointed postmaster temporarily, to take civil service exams in about three months with any other applicants, and in order to fill his position properly, it has been said that he has asked Roy Sarjent formerly postmaster here to come to work with him for a time, to show him how the office should be conducted. Il is said other worthy Democrats hoped for the position as postmaster here, but it was decided that the appointment should be given Mr. Whitehead. This information is the moat definite obtainable, and when or how the change is to be made is not yet certain. 0 REPUBLICANS WILL MEET AT WAWASEE Editorial Association to Meet at Spink-Wawasce August 17 and 18 for Annual Convention The Spink-Wawaaee hotel will probably be the hotel selected for the Republican State Editorial Convention on August 17 and ■ 18th, when 500 Republican editors, the State Republican Central Committee and Republican candidates for state offices will meet.

A „ ALLEY SURVEYED At the town board meeting, Tuesday, Ernest Buchholz, town clerk, stated that the county surveyor would be in Syracuse oa Wednesday to make a survey to establish the lines of the alley between the Hoopingarner and Howard lots. W. G. Connolly Mated that Eugene Hoopingarner had been told that if any of the rocks and dirt which he had placed in the alley were beyond the lot line, that they would have to bd removed. When hera yesterday the county surveyors found by survey, that four or five feet of Eugene Hoopingarner’s garden extends into the alley at the rear of the Hoopingarner home on Main street.

LLOYD KEYRING SENTENCED 2 TO 21 YEARS FOLLOWING DEATH OF MAN HE STRUCK : — -.i - f ■

TOWN BOARD ASKS IF DEATH FIGHT ; WAS PREVENTABLE I —— The night watchman, Ocal Craft received severe criticism from W G. Connolly at the meeting of the town board, Tuesday evening, concerning the fight which caused the death of bne man and the imprisonment of Lloyd Ketring. Another member of the board, who is also a Constable, Fielden Sharp, also received some criticism from Mr. Connolly at the meeting. During the discussion of the incident which followed, the beer law, shutting up the focal beer parlor at some hour the lack of teeth in the beer law and the town’s situation as a summer resort and what to do ' with people who come here to eele- , brate, all received attention. ," » | Connolly started the discussion by asking why steps were not taken to prevent the fight between Ketring and Conley alias Meskell, as he understood that the night watchman and Sharp were spectators at the beginning of the affair. Sharp then told his story. He said that he came up town about 1:30 to go to the railroad station as he did every Sunday morning, for pa- ! pers, and that as he came up town ■he noticed Ketring and Elmo Burson come out of Nathan Insley’s place. He said that Ketring was not drunk, and that Ketring and Burson came into the Grand hotel, where he was eating, and ordered sandwiches and ate these and that Burson left Sharp said he left the hotel and went to the Connolly case and ate another sandwich, and that as he came out he met Ocal Craft and that both men noticed that Ketring was trying to pick a fight with Mickey in the Grand hotel. Sharp said Mickey went tb the back of the dining room and sat down, and Sharp thought that he saw Mose attempt to strike Mickey but was not sure of ’ this. He then saw Mickey knock Ketring down. Sharp said he .then went j across to the hotel and heard Mose tell Mickey as he was leaving the hotel that “M would get him for i that.” . Then Ocal Craft spoke up and < said that Ketring went to Connolly’s I and drank same coffee, and came out, and stood in front of the bank building, and that he, Craft, talked to Mose and told him to go home and not get into trouble. Craft said that Ketring saich that Mickey had hit him when he was not looking, and that*he. Craft should go down and “tend to his pumps”, that he could get along. Craft told the board he did go on to the power house, “tend to the pumps,” and went home as it was his quitting time. It was then about 4:20 CST Sunday- morning. Connolly then asked why Craft had not gone into the hotel and stopped the fight between Mickey and Ketring there. C&nnolly said: “If an officer has’nt the courage to go into places to quiet people who are creating a disturbance or fighting. he shouldn’t have his job as officer—he shouldn’t even want it.” Connolly also said it is the duty of an officer to quiet people, and that he did not believe that a few drunks should run the town, that if an officer could, not handle a situation he should deputize other persons to I help him. Sharp then asked “How far or what authority has an officer to go into a man’s establishment without being asked?” He said he didn’t believe an officer had a right to go into such a place without being asked and that Mickey had repeatedly stated that he could run his own establishment. | Craft claimed that Syracuse is a dumping ground for all the drunks ! and people >ho are having “good times,” after places around the lakes have closed and that one man could not handle it. Connolly said that he didn’t think _ any town should submit to a bunch, of hoodlums taking possession of the town. Craft said that in case of drunkenness that the beer law is so made ' that a |t.jrnan could hardly be punished for 4tf>g drunk, and that the prosecu jwas over here for two nights the . cvious week, watching the *situv'fon and that he, Ocal Craft, had .- :ed the prosecutor what he shoe ; lo when such people came to tCW’.. , ’ i' U. a.- aic that the prsoecutor said (Continued on Last Page) C

Conley or Meskell Given As Names of Elderly Man Who Died. ■ i i z d. E .- Learning on Tuesday that he was to be charged with manslaughter, * Lloyd Ketring asked to be tried at once, but was not brought into court until yesterday morning. When brought before Judge Vanderveer he refused, to make any plea i of any sort, and the judge sentenced him according to law, .for from “2 to 21 years” for voluntary manslaughter. The prosecuting attorney said, when questioned afterwards “That Mose took fit on the chin, like a man.” Mr. Rowdabaugh said “I said well, Mose, that's booze, and Mose , said Yeah.” i He was not to be taken away from the county jail until Friday. i William Conley, 71, as he was known in Syracuse and at Lake Wawasee, employe of the club room at the Spink-Wawasee hotel, or W.- J. Meskell as his wife gave his name to the coroner, died Monday night about 10 o’clock in hos- ’ pita! after being struck by Lloyd (Mose) Ketring, 46, in a street fight on the corner near t*he Syracuse bank, about 4 o’clock Sunday mornjug. Bond for Ketring was set at $3,000 by Judge Donald Vanderveer, Tuesday, and it was stated that he would likely be charged with third degree > murder, or manslaughter, carrying a sentence of from 2 to 21 years; or with fourth degree murder or involuntary manslaughter carrying a sentence of from 1 to 10 years : When an attempt was made to interview Ketring in the county jail, Tuesday afternoon, he said he had nothing to say. When told that the Journal wished to give his side of the story of the fight, as the other side had been obtained he said he’d say what he had to say in court. ( < Attempting to act as a peace-mak-er, and stop a possible street fight : at 4 o’clock Sunday morning? W. J. Conley, 71, of Chicago, guest at jthe Grand Hotel, was struck by j Lloyd (Mose) Ketring and knocked to the curb of the sidewalk near the {bank, and suffered a ‘fractured skull I which it was thought from the first i might cause his death. According to information obtained ; trouble with “Mose” started in the j Grand Hotel late Saturday night. It ; is said he was under the influence lof liquor, and when Porter Mickey ■ ordered the man out of the hotel, ; after he had attempted to pick a fight, Mickey walked to the rear of the dining room to avoid a fight but Ketring followed him. Mickey knock- ! ed him down and put him out of the hotel suffering a torn in the fracus. “Mose” threatened, “I’ll get you for is reported, and he i . crossed the street and stood in front j of the bank until Mickey wes ready to go-home.
