AN OUTSTANDING FEAT
Did you ever go through a whole
day’s work .without making a single
false move, mentally or physically?
Could you pound a typewriter at top
speed or play a piano all day without
striking a wrong key?
Well, young Jack Turley of Hast
ings, Neb., did something similar to
that, not only one day, but two days.
Turley is a linotype operator on
the Hastings Tribune and set 1718
lines of type, involving the striking
of keys approximately 59,000 times in
eight hours without an error.
Another day he set 1,672 lines with
out a mistake. His usual daily out
put is said to show only from two to
twelve errors. Think what that means
to the fortunate individual w'ho hap
pens to be his own boss.
No proof-reading wTould be neces
sary in handling his matter, for most
proofreaders wrould overlook more
mistakes than that. Many big news
papers are printed with typographi
cal errors in nearly every column.
Turley’s remarkable coordination of
brain and hand seems almost too val
uable to devote to routine employ
ment—even though it be that of such
a rare individual as a capable lino
type operator.
DEALING WITH HERETICS
Within a few weeks the case of
Bishop Brown of the Protestant Epis
copal Church, convicted of heresy
and sentenced to be deposed from his
office, will come before the House of
Bishops for final disposition.
Bishop Brown rejects the literal
interpretation of the scriptures, but
accepts them as an allegorical pre
sentation of moral and spiritual
truths. His trial a few months ago
attracted wide attention and the ac
tion of the House of Bishops will also
be a matter of considerable interest,
although there appears to be little
doubt that his sentence will be con
firmed.
Many clergymen who are leaders
in the growing Modernist movement
hold some views in accord with Bish
op Brown, but none has been so out
spoken as he in publicly stating them.
From the Fundamentalist standpoint
there are many heretics occupying
Christian pulpits today.
While trials for heresy have been
few in American churches, the prob
lem of dealing with heretics has en
gaged the attention of ecclesiastical
authorities from the early days of
Christianity. The stern methods
adopted for the suppression of heresy
during the Middle Ages reached
their height of ferocity through the
instrumentality of the Spanish In
quisition, established in 1480.
During the continuance of that ter
rible system, compilations from the
records show that not less than 31,
912 persons were burnt alive, while
291,450 suffered imprisonment and
tortures worse than death.
A striking fact connected with the
history of heresy is that the here
tic of one age may become the saint
of a later day. This is illustrated by
the case of Joan of Arc, who was
burnt at the stake in the streets of
Rouen on May 30, 1431. Her sen
tence was “revoked” by the Pope on
July 7, 1457 (more than 25 years af
ter her death) and she was beautified
by a later Pope at Rome on April 18,
1909.
STRANGE PROHIBITION TALK
Whether it is merely wet propa
ganda or not, rumors concerning the
proposed big prohibition drive by
General Andrews and his rejuvinat
ed force, which according to last
night’s dispatches have taken shape,
insofar as selecting district heads
to cope with the enforcement. This
is considered to be the final test of
prohibition enforcement.
In other words, the program now
decided upon must succeed or the
government will virtually give up en
forcement as an impossibility.
This rumor first appeared about
the time the Coast Guard fleet began
its vigorous offensive on the Atlantic
coast. At that time it wras said that
President Coolidge had decided to
put all the power of the administra
tion behind enforcement for one year
—then if satisfactory results had not
been secured he would move for a
modification of the Volstead law.
Last wTeek two separate dispatches
sent out by the International News
Service repeated this rumor in con
nection with the report that several
representatives of big business were
to aid in the new drive as “dollar-a
year men.” These industrial leaders,
like the administration, are alarmed
over the increase in general lawless
ness, wrhich is attributed to the
growing lack of respect for law, due
to the Volstead act.
It is estimated that they have
agreed with General Andrews that
the lawT must be either enforced or
modified, in the interest of national
morality. Nearly $30,000,000 is avail
able for prohibition enforcement dur
ing the present fiscal year and if the
plans being made yield satisfactory
results still more will be asked for
next year’s work.
The strange part of the situation,
according to the current rumor, is
that violators are practically notified
that if they can manage to defy the
government for another year enforce
ment will be called off. There may
be nothing to this report, but hints
of such an understanding among ad
ministration officials have been per
sistent for some time.
CONVICT CAUGHT
AT CENTRALIA
BY FORMER PAL
KELLY AND WILLOWS REPORTED
GOING THROUGH GOLDEN
DALE AT EARLY HOUR
CENTRALIA, Wn., Aug. 22 (£>)—
Tom Murray, one of the escaped Sa
lem, Oregon, fugitives, was caught
here last night by Philip Carson, who
had been driven from Portland yes
terday as a vagrant. Carson had met
Murray in the railroad yards at Van
couver, and they beat their way here
on a fast freight. The men agreed
to execute a stickup in Tacoma. On
the way Murray told Carson that the
three three fugitives had fallen out
while hiding in the brush near White
Salmon, and had quarred when Wil
lows entered an old baggage car and
obtained a change of clothing. The
trio then agreed to separate with Mur
ray going east while Willows and
Kelly would hide a while longer, then
travel east, with Willows leaving
first. Murray went down the river.
Carson hired a room here and left
Murray there, then concocted a plan
with Policeman George Barner, who
posed as a taxi driver. While the de
tails of the stickup were being ar
ranged in the room, Barner and the
policeman shoved guns at Murray,
who surrendered, exclaiming, “Pretty
clever, I’d say.”
Kelly and Willows Reported
GOLDENDALE, Wn., Aug. 22 (JP)—
Ellworth Kelly and James Willowrs,
the escaping convict murderers, were
reported as passing through here at
3 o’clock this morning. Three ave
nues of escape are possible for the
men, one through Central Washington
by highway, through an open country,
or to double back to one of the nu
merous ferries and cross the Colum
bia river. The third plan would be
for the men to flee to the heavily tim
bered hills in Toppenish county, in
the Simcoe mountains, which have
long been the hiding place for desper
ados.
