A dinner planned for Monday night
by Senator Allen of Kansas, to the
group of twenty-four republican
regulars who bolted the party leader

Senator Moses as chairman of the
republican senatorial campaign com

ator Metcalf. of Rhode Island, one
of the "Young guard." who proposed
that Moses be instructed not to go
into any state unless requested by the
republican senatorial candidate.
Neither Senator Moses nor Senator
Metcalf's office would make public
this letter.
Referring to the republican regu

said 'it was only after we drove this

Moses said:
I do not conduct my correspond

ator had made public his letter to
him in Rhode Island newspapers be
fore he had received it.
Members of the "young guard"
movement again reiterated that no
revolt against the titular heads of the
republican party in the senate was
intended. Senator Allen, who break
fasted at the white house, insisted
the movement was "entirely devoid
of personalities and without the per

republican leader, against whom the
"young guard" voted on adjourn

and Jones had accepted.

Declaring that the chests of some

said the table of tariff exhibits in
the rear of the chamber should con

might measure the enlarging chest
expansions of certain senators of
the new group as they come in in the

Senator Xorris then picked up a
tape measure from the table and said,
"I hope the senator will not misrep

'Santa Claus'
Bandit Lynched
in Eastland
Taken from Jail Following Wounding
of Deputy in Escape Attempt;
Scores in Crowd.
Eastland, Tex., Nov. 19. Furious
over his attempted jail break yester
day in which he dangerously wound
ed Deputy Sheriff Tom Jone3, a mob
of two hundred men tonight lynched
Marshall Ratliff, "Santa Claus ban
dit" of the Cisco bank robbery in
1927.
Ratliff was hanged from a tele
graph pole cable after the jailer had
been captured and his keys taken.
The bandit's naked body was strung
up by a new grass rope, as nearly one
thousand people looked on.
On the first attempt to hang Rat
liff, who was here pending a sanity
hearing which had delayed tempo
rarily his death in the electric chair,
the rope broke, and the mob waited
for about 15 minutes while a new
rope was obtained.
Mumbles Something.
Someone in the crowd yelled:
"Maybe he wants to talk." The hang
men eased their pressure and Ratliff
was lowered to the ground a second
time.
"Do you want to talk?" they asked
him.
"Yes," the doomed man gasped.
pulling the rope free. "I've got some
thing I want to say."
Again they waited, while Ratliff
stood looking into the faces about
him. He mumbled something, unin
telligible. He was pulled up and left
dangling.
Thousand Around Jail.
About a thousand people gathered
around the Jail tonight, but the
lynching party consisted of only
about 150 or two hundred men. The
leaders slipped into a side door of the
jail, and attempted to get authorities
to give them the bandit.
When refused the men overpower
Jailcr Gilbert and took his keys. Then
they made their way upstairs to Rat-
liff's cell.
Ratliff was dragged down the
stairs and down the street about two
hundred yards, fto the business sec
tion of Eastland. -i
The plan had at first been to take
him to the public square but the
crowd, apparently impatient, decided
to stop at the eable. World-Herald.

Read the Book of Jonah.
Was Jcrah a Slacker?
About three thousand years ago,
and coming out cf the glimmerings
of ancient history, comes the story
cf the minor prophet. Jonah, the
son of Ammittai. who was also a
prophet, and as Jonah was a man of
away past middie age, he had soen
the world and was well acquainted
with the history of the country and
of the political conditions affecting
Israel and also of the adjoining coun
tries. The country cf Mesopatamia. in
which was situated the city of Nine
veh, was partly Israelitish and was
very cosmopolitan. They had be
lieved on God and had forgotten
Him. as they turned to sin and idol
etry. As a prophet. Jonah received the
message: from Jehovah, just how we
do not know, but nevertheless he re
ceived it. and the import of the mes-
sage was to go tell Nineveh that un-
less they repent, their city should
b" destroyed. Knowing the political
situation, Jonah, v. hose charge was
to go to Nineveh and deliver the
message, which required that he jour
ney to this city, which some authori
ties claim had a population of six
hundred thousand inhabitants, but
be that as it may, a very large city,
and one in which sin was rampant.
So. when Jonah was commanded to
deliver the message, he felt it a great
commission and one which would en
tail much danger, the going to this
city and condemning it personally.
Jonah Sidesteps the Command
Jonah lived near Gallilee and
Gath-hepher, and going, he went
west towards the Mediterranean sea,
arriving at Joppa. whereas the direc
tion of Nineveh was east. Like many
cf our day, he sought to run away
from duty and from God. Well, he
knew that he could not do so, but
like Elijah, when he ran away from
duty and from Jezebel, when she had
threatened his life. Jonah took pas
sage to Spain, thinking he was run
ning out of the world. He paid his
fare and went down into the ship.
As it was an old style ship, the decks
and cabins were down in the hold.
Jonah did not know it, but he was
to have a great experience, for when
God commands, he expects people to
obey or take the consequence. And
thia experience is as much for us as
it was for him.
A hurricane such as frequents the
Hedit'erranean; s2a came upon them.

had experience with one. The sailors,
knowing the severity of the storm,
attributed it to the sin of some one
on beard, ar.d in seeking some way
cf safety, awakened Jonah, who was
a prophet, and asked him to pray for
safety. Jonah, who had disobeyed
God, did not feel like coming to Je
hovah with a petition for safety,
when he was running away from
God. so he confessed the situation to
the sailors and said the storm would
quit if they threw him overboard.
This they did. and as he struck the
waters, a great fish opened its mouth
to receive him.
Not Claimed to be a Whale
Just a great fish, and Jonah re
posed in the belly o: the fish for three
days, where he had time to repent,
and did so. then lie was ready to
cr me to God in prayer. The fish spew
ed him out on the land ar.d the word
of the Lird came unto him the sec
ond time, "Will you deliver my mes
-s:ls
Preaches to Nineveh
Then went Jonah to preach unto
Nincvehites, and cried aloud along
their streets, that unless they repent
ed, they would be destroyed. After
the preaching-, they did repent, and
as Jonah was located just outside cf
the city, he watched for the destruc
tion of the city, not realizing that
when he repented, he was carried by
the iish to lard and delivered safely.
and that Nineveh could as well be?
delivered. But like a petulent child,
complained because the city was net
destroyed after it had repented.
Then God had to discipline Jonah
with the hot san and hot wind before
he saw that there was mercy due thi
feople of Nineveh, as well as for
him. It took him a long and bitter
lesson before he could see that all
the sins of the worlJ were measured
in the same half bushel.
When we can see that the wrongs
