'Passing the Buck'
Is Popular Sport
That's What Col. T. W. Mc-
Cullough Tells Kiwanians
Is Present Day Fault.
The favorite indoor and outdoor
sport is "passing the buck," accord
ing to Col. T. W. McCullough of
The Bee who addressed the members
of the Kiwanis club at their noonday
luncheon at the Rome hotel yester
day noon.
There are times when cverv man
should present himself at the bar of
his own conscience and take inven
tory, Colonel McCullough said.
"Too often when things go wrone
those really at fault cast around for
someone on whom to lay the blame,
where the manly and fair way to do
would be to own up to their short
comings. Each man owes to his
fullow triad respect and considera
tion. Each man should determine his
relationship to his neighbor and live
up to it as closely as possible."
In speaking of the reactions fol
lowing the late War Colonel McCul
lough said that .many institutions
have" been torn down: that while
man-made laws have been broken,
the natural and moral laws are still
as absolute as before.
He said not only hard work will
bringback stable conditions in busi
ness and society, but that there is a
need of more spiritual vision and
man to man humahty.

Indian Summonses
Make Marshal Gasp
31 Processes to Be Served at
Winnebago Reserve Ilanded
To Deputy.
;Vhen Deputy United States Mar
shal . Earl Young, was confronted
yesterday with 31 federal summonses
to serve on Indians at the Winne
bago reservation, he gasped for air
and steady balance.
"Just a little, work rer ye," re
marked John Nicholson, chief dep
uty clerk of the federal court, when
he handed Young'the summonses on
Indian land cases to come up in fed
eral court. ,
"Huh?" exclaimed Young, dum-founded.
"Yeah, huhl" chuckled Emmet
Quinley, deputy marshal, still fos
tering a clear memory of serving 60
similar summonses on Indians four
years ago.
"You ain't heard nuthin yet,"
added Quinley. "Wait'll you hear
those Indjans when they get those
summonses. They won't wait fer ye
to bring 'em to Omaha. They'll hop
the first freight."
After racking his brain to decipher
the names of My Soul . Tiebold,
Chief Bull's Eye, U. S. Grant, Lucy
Thunder and Silas Raisin King on
the summonses Young declared he
would dispatch the papers to another
deputy on the reservation.
"Guess he knows 'em," quoth
Young. "I won't have to do any
herding after all."
