Today The I mes-Disjtatch. ^ Pulling a Log Apart. Prohibition at Work. I iroil of lloing Poor. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. ^--- j Sound amplifiers indicate that Moyd Collins still lives in his prison rave. Men violently interested in that case say “it’s too bad.” Wo men are not content to say “it’s too bad,” Mrs. Emmons Blaine, one of the best women in Chicago, or anywhere else, after consulting "ith Dr_ McArthur and obtaining the permission of the Collins fam ily, sent two doctors by flying ma chine to save the man if possible. It was explained to her that the idea of having a doctor crawl into the g'vr to chloroform the man and cut off his leg was not sound. In ■ uch cramped space everybody con cerned. including the doctor, would be rendered unconscious by the anaesthetic. The’plan was to fasten a harness to the man’s leg, and by main force pull the leg from under the heavy rock, the doctors treating it immediately. If it couldn’t be pulled from under the rock, the leg would be pulled apart at the knee or ankle joint and Collins would have felt no pain, thanks to local hypodermics in the hip. Upheaval of the floor in the cave made it impossible for the doctors to reach Collins. Returning to the Richmond imes-Di-patch, you read about the funeral of Juflge Sims, president of the Virginia supreme court, dead by his own act. One man in the jaws of death struggles for life. \nother, with life in his hand, throws it away. Next comes this, “Aged Pulaski man kills wife and shoots himself after drinking home concoction.” That’s one side of the prohibition question. Another picture of pro hibition is presented in the news from a northern city. Boys and •girls of the upper high school class are forbidden to go on driving par t ies. The young hovs and even girls carry bootleg whisky with them. That was not heard of before pro hibition came. You learn, also that some pros perous ipen, with sons at college, send regular supplies of whisky to these sons. They say: “I know that under present conditions my hoy is going to drink, and 1 prefer to have him drink whisky that won’t '..ill him. .So 1 keep him supplied.” You read that saving bank de Busits in the state of New York •done increased nearly $300,000, 000 in the past year, and are told 1 hat prohibition has a great deal to ilo with that. You wonder w-hether Ihe increased hank deposits do enough good to counter-balance the effect i^f bootleg whisky. Mr.-. I-'. \V. Water- killed herself, ■or daughter. M>. and her son, 14, by e -, in Washington. She wrote t.i h w Mer : "1 ant so tired of unh opj. so tired of strug gling with being poor.” If nil women “tired of being poor and unhappy,” should commit . uiei'l", the population would drop considerably. It is the courage of wnyen, defying poverty and unhap piness. that has kept the human race climbing upward. "Remembering happier things,” makes hardship unendurable, Dante said. Tennyson repeated it. The unfortunate woman who killed herself had been a belle of the “proms” at the University of Virginia, and had married the hero of thp university, captain of the football team. Then came divorce, unhappiness, poverty and suicide. Senator MacKellar, democrat, from Tennessee, says of the bill that would turn Muscle Shoals over to the power trust: “The passage of the Underwood measure would he the greatest calamity that has happened to the south since the civil war.” Many senators know that it is so, but if one of the biggest monopolies wants something, you can hardly expect the United States senate to refus it. You can, however, ex Anywhere in this country, at Nome, Alaska, whether dog teams and airplane race to fight disease, or i|> Los Angeles or Sarasota, where men race to buy real estate, the news is strange and interesting. This is written on the train, with the excellent Times-Dispatch of Richmond, Va., for inspiration and information. Mrs. Robert Garrett of Cumber land county is candidate for court clerk. She may be elected by those that sympathize with her husband, formerly clerk, now spending five years in jail for shooting the Rev. E. S. Pierce. pect President Coolidge to veto it. He has, from Henry Ford, exact in formation on the Muscle Shoals affair. Virginia may have a woman gov ernor. The probable candidate would be l>r. Kate Waller Barrett, whoso address at the democratic national convention last year called fi»rth so great an ovation. Being governor of a state or mayor of a city is practically to be a house keeper on a big scale. Women, in politics, will bring a new, better element to government. And most important of all, women voting will make men in office think about the needs of women and children. (Copyright, 1325.) York lax Lowest.
