Bankers, phy _ sicians, cashiers, bedyguards, now and then a so . ciety woman, burly policemen, fledgling Nimrods %i}filwnihs big game hunts, private detectives, Central 2 American diplomats—they all seem to want to learn »dkow to shoot. : ; %@Eregpently, too, some gangland toughie barges in "to get wised up on the better handling of his gat. © One such precious playboy tried it the other day. ' “Send jn this guy Mayer,” he cmomanded the blue fieyed slightly ‘built, meek looking young man who ~ was pattering with a telescopic sight. “Tell him he’s ' got% new pupil.” . ‘l'm Captain Walter Mayer, and I'm the instruc gtor at this range,” grinned the mild-mannered fel- Jow. ‘“Have y®i any character references, and have gfi,;zyou gat a license to carry the gun which I see you _have on your hip? Otherwise I can’t take qoc.”” The . gangster* laughed, then blustered, finally , made threats. A few minutes later. he was out on the él Aéidewaik. disarmed and trying to remember just L what ‘had happened. You see, nobody had tipped | him off that Captain Mayer is the only American. . who has been awarded Japan’'s Black Belt for pro %, iciency in jtu-litsu. ' He eame from Louisiana, where he had prac ~ticed shooting from the time he was 9 years old. _He enlisted in the Marines as a buck private, chased . bandits and. insurrectionists over many a tropic *é"ip,pdscfipe and emerged from the World war a cap (. iain.

He swims every day, plays a . fast gam - of tennis, and smokes cigarets almost . continwously. Never touches liquor, though. He was ¢ n memfier of the National Rifle and Pistol Team for . twelve jyears, the Olympic team in 1912, American . Legion Riflc and Pistol champion in 1926, and the ~ quick draw champion for 16 years. His record of . 1 1-8 sgconds for a drew and the firing of six shots & shas neyer been broken.

NO REVOLUTION! & .. = | By BRUCE CATTON ..| Althetgh it has become the fashion t§ speak of . ithe regovery program as a kind. of revolution, no i wg looks, into the matter closely can fail to see *tiut basicaily it really is a conservative proposition. fif The fruth of this statement can be tested by look- B (ing at the very obstacles which are slowing up the E progress of recovery, ‘ ; . . FPirstramong thesp obstacles, no doubt, ig the fact the owner of capital still is a bit skittish about | putting.his money to work. His fear of inflation . would seem to have beeh quieted by the forthright ¢ smanner in which the gold question is béing han | .dled; but he still is afraid that he will not be able y‘fi make 2 profit on the employment of his money, . and so"he is hanging back. .. ln the past, depressions ended when the chance %o,};maka“ money began to reappear in commerce and § industry. We are trying te end this one in the re wrst order—by putting re-employment and in | i¢reased wages first and trusting that profit will 8 follow 4n the natural sequence. ;fi,-()wners of capital are net yet persuaded fully . flsm the profit actually will appear on ‘schedule. } Eifi&?‘“e“!fl““‘v witnessing the vast sums that are Wfls‘ spent, and considering the heavy taxes that F‘;V, pill have to be leviea ultimately to meet these ex- B Dpenses, they are afraid of what may happen #o their | profit when it does appear. i . Consequently, capital in the main is hesitant, and | ithe recovery program does not make the speed we sshould like. ,sngm all this year of capital, and the efforts of gov ;’f‘rpnmnent to provide reassurance, add up to just one é;;;t.bmg: The fact that the new #eal is, at bottom, b ‘gonservative and not revolutionary. ‘t Natice this, for example: The entire recovery ;:j,’a“s:rograln still depends on the profit motive—the dis aalinctive feature of the capitalistic system as we B Ve known it.

But the fight RELEASED ON PROBATION The action of Judge Humphries, of the Fulton county Superior courts, in releas ing on probation young Pryo: Bowen, convicted as an assistant in the kidnaping lof Jehn K. Ottley, prominent banker of Atlanta, is to be commended. This 17-year old boy is not a criminal, but an inexperi enced country boy, unacquainted with the ways of the world and of the criminai ele ment, Influenced by a hardened criminal, picturing the manner in whieh they could receive a large sum of money, this young country boy fell a prey tothe picture drawn by Delinski, noted member of underworld. The kidnaping job was carried out, but when the opportunity was presented for the escape of the victim, this boy realizing the crime which he was a party td, aided in the release and escape of the Atlanta banker. Pryor Bowen is a member of one of the oldest and substantial families of Franklin county, and up to the time of the kidnaping escapade he lived the life of a model young man, | Jullge Humphries has released this boy on probation, under the charge of his mother, but requiring monthly reports as to his conduct and with the further re. quirement that he attend school until he has graduated from the High! school oz that county. The boy has been restored to his mother, who will see to it that every requirement of Judge Humphries will be fulfilled. AN ARROGANT JUDGE ~ Several months ago the nation was stir red over the action of Federal Judge James A. Lowell, in granting an injunction restraining the Governor of Massachusetts honoring requisition papers issued by the Governor of Virginia for the return of an escaped murderer. The fugitive, a negro, was charged with the murder of” two women in Virginia. The action of the Fed eral court judge was so unusual, members of congress were so outraged, impeach ment proceedings were introduced and tre matter placed before the proper tribunal This judge will be given a hearing before a congressional investigating committee, and it is expected that he will be impeach ed and removed from office. In the mean time, the case was carried to the Court of Appeals of the United States and the low er court was reversed and the negro will be returned to Virginia for trial. A similar case exists in New Jersey where the governor of that state refused to recoginze extradition papers issued by the governor of Georgia for the return of Burns, an escaped conviet from a Georgia chaingang. Burns is the author of the book entitled “a fugitive from a chain gang” from which the motion picture was dramatized. Both the book and picture at tracted wide attention, principally from the sensational manner in which the book ‘was written and its dramatization for the picture. Highly colored fiction, willful misrepresentations, the officials of Georgia became highly incensed over the circula tion of the book and the showing of the picture. However, Mr. Burns is now in a different frame of mind and mood: he is de sirous of receiving a pardon, in order that he may travel about without being in danger of arrest. It is not believed that the officials nor the governor of the state will be agreeable to this man reeciving a pardon—and why should they? While his crime was of minor importance, in propor tion to the amount of money he received from his hold-up, yet his intentions were gerious, and the small amount of money he secured from his victim was all he had in his possession. If he had had thousands Burns, no doubt, would have been the beneficiary of the whole amount. His plea for the pardon, on the grounds of the small amount of money secured, should not be in his favor for clemency. He com mitted a serious erime for which he should tsuffer the penalty of the iaw. | GEORGIA FARMERS GET THOUSQNDS As a result of deficiencies shown by an alysis of fertilizer samples, the farmers of this state will receive, through the Depart ment of Agriculture, thousands of dollars in refunds. The inspection of over twelve thousand samples of fertilizer, approxi mately 5 per cent showed less aveilable plant food than called requirements of standard fertilizers. It 4s understood that the shortage in fertilizer specifications this yar has been greater than at any time in recent years. It is possible that the in crease in deficiency is due to the efficient system of jnspection that has been employ ed by the Deparimnt of Agriculture or it may for other reasons that the standard has not been kept up. That feature, of course, is to bé determined by those who are charged with the responsibility of en forcing the inspection laws. It is estimated that the average total of fertilizer sales in this state amounts to around $20,000,000, an industry of poten tial importance. However, it is not believed that the manufacturers of fertilibers are in any degree responsibi: for the discrepen cies shown in the sainples inspected, but that on account of the large volume of bus iness, such irregularities are bound to 0.- cur in some, if. not, all of the plants.

' The case of Ennis H. Coale,-‘vg ’student at the University of Mary land, has attracied @ .nation )vide attention by his refusal to takeé the ll'egular course in military training \m that institution, While _the, young man admitted that he knew. lthat courses in military ',tr'q‘\.,inmf;; were required, yet he:enbolled. a&mi student, accepting in good faith ‘the requirements, without objec: tion. Immediately following his enrollment, he announced that he was opposed to milgtary training and to war and that he believed it to be “against Christ’s teachings, and wad therefore wrong”. How-! jrut 3 ever, he was perfectly familuax; with the rules of the University | admitting that he had received a| catalogue and knew of the follo.w-’ ing provision: “All male students, if gitizens of)| the United States, whose bodily! condition jindicates that they are physically fi¢ ‘to perform military duty or will be upon arrival at military age are required to take for a period of two. years, as a prerequisite to graduation, the! military training offered by the. War Department.” | Evidently the real cause for the young man's refusal was due in a great measure to the activities of Mr. Tucker Smith, secretary of a; Committee on Militanism and Education, with offices in New York. This man advertised in the Bal timore Sun, saying: “Any student: who intend to attend the Univer sity of Maryland who wisk to be exempted from military training to write to this office, and they would give them the best proce dure to use.” This the young man did, and, no doubt, the advice and information he received from this source prompted him to take court action. In the lower court, the contentions of the young man were upheld, but in the Court of Appeals of Maryland, the decision of the inferior coury was reversed. In rendering' a decision, the Court of Appeals recites many decisions of similar cases, bringing out the purpose and intent of the young man, no doubt, being a tool of pacifists and those who are op posed to war under any and all conditions, and who are willing te accept peace at any price. In delivering the opinion of | the court, Judge Pattison gave &« most thorough review of the case, which will, no doubt, set at rest future efforts on tne part of pacifists to interrupt the rules and organization of educational institutions, In his review of the case, the |closing paragraphs of the opinion of the coury will be of interest, es 'peclally to those interested in ed-! ucationai affairs: “Coale's selec )tion of the University of Maryland 'which included military training in its curriculum, when there were 'cther colleges in Maryland ofprac~i Eu’eally the same grade and stand-; ling‘ which he could have attendeds withou; taking military training, is consistent with the want of sin cerity on his part. He attempts toj explain his choice of the Univer sity of Maryland by saying that !it'was his intention to take a law] rcourse. and by attending the Uni-{ versity he would save one year in ! ithe completion of that course, which would start at the beginning of his fourth year. But he could have saved the year of which h‘ speaks had he attended another| with no greater expenses te: h THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA for his first two years, and then tranzferred to the University of Maryland, where he wouyld have been given credit for the time spent at the ‘college first attended, and so woud have concluded his law course just as soon as if he had spent the first two years at the Universiiy of Maryland; and ‘by doing this, he could have avoid ed the military training against which he claims to have conscien tious scruples. “It may have been that Coale lwas to some extent opposed to war and participation in war. But upon the facts stated it is certain- P,v'not shown that his refusal to %ake military training was alone. due to such® opposition.
