As the legislature moves finally to enable Missouri to contribute a reasonable share of relief funds used in the state there inevitably persists the question of the amount actually needed It is indicated that the sum will be 5 million dollars 4 million of which would be spent this year That was the amount requested when the legislature assembled in October nearly three months ago But an official report shows that more than 100000 new Jobs have been created in Missouri on civil works and public works predominantly the former With the exception of a few thousands all these Jobs have been provided within the last six weeks to two months The weekly pay roll last week amounted to nearly $1360000 Is it possible that this job expenditure at the rate of more than 6 million dollars a month has had no effect whatever upon the relief needs of the state? The civil works expenditure is to be continued until about May I by which time it is expected that public works and normal employment will have absorbed many of the workers on the strictly emergency program Is no allowance at all to be made for that situation? Have unemployment and direct relief needs of the winter increased so heavily as to offset altogether the vast sums now going for work relief? These questions should be answered as the legislature seeks to provide state relief revenue It is only on that condition that anything beyond a hit-and-miss procedure will be possible 1 l)114 I 'S '1 I 1 fir AL 410- i A i 1 11 if 6110 1 i ff 7 4 1 1 Al 1 1 4 -4 i vr iv IN i ir 1 1 --''11111141111fts :1 li 1 Lo41 91 I i et I a 14 -1 41'41' i 1 1 tii 4 i I i 1 1 C) 't A ti 'v itat '1 1 41t) (4 41 la 9 1 iv't' eh 41114--Jet 2 ki ift nvir--- 4 t1" 4 It 'F4 1 Ot4t' I 4104 46 1: 1 itlito 4 A i i 11eNt A (k 14) A rj A--o 4) 'NI I A1 e' 1 zii I 1 "'UNCLE BILL" Several times I have had it in my mind to correct my friend Omar Gray for some of his reckless statements I have traveled with Gray and helped him carry his suitcase full of patent medicines and have enjoyed his companionship immensely but when he refers to me in his column as "Uncle Bill" frien6hip ceases I do not particularly mind being called Colonel or having references made to my lack of hirsute adornment by my friends or many orse names and slurs by those who do nq like me but to be called "Uncle Mil" by contemporary who is older than I am is the last Southern 'fr in Itvicpendence Examiner That "sea monster" In the Scotch lake ir17 be another sea monster and then aRaill It n1RY only be too much Scotch the Warrensburg Star-Journal says OP ALL PLACES SHE HAD HIDDEN THE MONEY IN THE STOVEI venture" the author says She and her brother packed a single carpetbag and' ran away They traveled by stagecoach to Colorado arriving in the gold camp of Leadville" passionately acclaimed her as its very own celebrity The Titanic had gone down and Molly had been its heroine On that fateful April night in 1912 Molly decided to take a few turns around the giant liner's deck before retiring Mr Fowler reports "She was wearing extra heavy woolies with bloomers bought in Switzerland two jersey petticoats a plaid cashmere dress down to the heels of her English calfskin boots a sportsman's cap tied on with a woolen scarf golf stockings a muff of Russian sables in which she absent-mindedly had left her pistol and over those frost-defying garments she wore a $60000 chinchilla opera cloak" In the history of that tragedy her name appears as one who knew no fear She did much to calm the women and children It is recorded that she refused to enter a lifeboat until all other women and their young ones had been cared for and that crew members literally had to throw her into a boat Once in the boat however he didn't wait for she seized command There were only five men aboard and about twenty women and children "Start rowing" she told the men "and head the bow into the sea" Keeping an eye on the rowers she began removing her clothes Her chinchilla coat was used to cover three small and shivering children One by one she divested herself of heroic woolens She rationed her garments to the women who were the oldest or most frail It was said she presented a fantastic sight in the light of flares half standing among the terrified passengers stripped down to her corset the beloved Swiss bloomers her golf stockings and her stout shoes xgrr THE OARSMEN BUSY She herself took an oar and began to row She chase a position in the bow where she could watch her crew Her pistol was lashed to her waist with a rope One of the rowers seemed on the verge of collapse "My heart" he said "Keep rowing" Molly demanded "or I'll blow your head off and throw you overboard Take your choice" Mrs Brown sprouted big blisters on her hands But she didn't quit Then her palms began to bleed She cut strips from her Swiss bloomers and taped her hands She kept rowing and swearing "Those damned critics say I can't sing" she howled "Just let anyone say its no good Listent to this" And she sang from various Operas She kept rowing and dared anyone to quit She told stories and gave the history of the "Little Johnny" She told of the time she hid $300000 in the camp stove and how it went up in flames "How much is $300000?" she asked "I'll tell you It's nothing Some of you guy here with the heart trouble that I'm curing with rich I'm rich What inhell of it? What are your riches or mine doing for us this minute? And you can't wear the Social Register for water wings can you? Keep rowing all of you or I'll toss you overboard" SHE JUST COULDN'T SINK When they were picked up at sea everyone was praising Mrs Brown and she was asked: "How did you manage it?" "Just typical Brown luck" she answered "I'm unsinkable" And ever afterward she was known as "the Unsinkable Mrs Brown" She no longer cared for Denver or its society She went in for thrills She took world tours and explored far places always meeting adventure half way She almost perished in a monsoon in the China seas Another time she was in a hotel fire in Florida But the unsinkable one was unburnable as well She rescued four women and three children from that fire the author relates In France she was given a Legion of Honor ribbon with the rank of chevalier in recognition of hcr charity work During the World War she contributed to the welfare of the soldiers When Johnny died be left no will and the Unsinkable Mrs Brown was left floating with its financial ballast Finally she was awarded the life income of $100000 annually "Just to think" she said with a gay smile "and I burned up three times that muth in one bonfire" Mrs Margaret Tobin Brown died in October 1932 and she is buried at Hempstead Long Island KANS4S CITY FORTY YEARS AGO From The Times and The Star January II 1894 A successful smoke consumer at last!

The Kansas senate is sitting as a court trying a couple of impeached state officials who are alleged to be mixed up in the Finney bond forgery cases Poor old bleeding Jellerson City Capital News TWO VIEWS OF PUBLIC POLICY In view of its decision in the Minnesota mortgage case this week it is a pity the supreme court of the United States did not have the opportunity to pass on a somewhat 'LaMar issue raised in the fight of the Doherty gas interests against relief to the gas con MMUS of Kansas The court held in the Minnesota case that the depression constituted an emergency that warranted the state at least for the period of the emergency in changing the conditions of mortgagecontracts It will be recalled that in granting the injunction that tied the hands of the Kansas public service a decision Just reversed by the supreme Mc Der Mott and Judge Phillips announced that a re' turn to the Doherty interests of "approximately 8 per cent upon present values is necessary under present conditions" Sharp issue was taken with this conclusion by Judge Hopkins in his dissenting opinion which said: "Nor do I concur that a rate of 8 per cent upon present values of the plaintiff necessary under present conditions to secure confidence In its financial soundness or to reaintain its credit" Immediately after the Hopkins dissenting opinion came the decision of the 3-Judge fed cal court at Chicago in the Kankakee water case in which a similar position was taken directly at variance with the opinion of Judge -McDermott and Judge Phillips The Chicago 3-Judge court held unanimously that "under the existing generally depressed industrial and financial conditions indicating a great abnormal condition both generally and locally we are not warranted in finding that the probable return of 517 per cent upon the valuation is confiscatory" (After the filing of the dissenting opinion of Judge Hopkins and the opinion of the 3- Judge court Judge McDermott and Judge Phillips filed a "supplemental memorandum" in which they denied that they had attempted to fix with precision" a proper their original decision had asserted an proximately 8 per cent return" to be "necessary under present We have here in vivid contrast two views of public policy Judge McDermott and Judge Phillips held that the big utilities should be protected in a rate of return that would be considered adequate in normal times although the customers of these utilities and all other nonmonopolistie enterprises were suffering from the depression Judge Hopkins and the three federal Judges at Chicago held on the contrary that in view of the depression it was reasonable to expect the great natural monopolies to take smaller profits although in no case did they suggest the profits should be reduced to anything like the vanishing point The merits of the gas case were not con- aidered by the supreme court But in the light of its sympathetic attitude toward depression sufferers as disclosed in the Minnesota decision it is interesting to speculate as to which side it would have taken regarding the position assumed by Judge McDermott and Judge Phillips in opposition to that of Judge Hopkins if the issue had reached Washington 1 1 1 Times are getting better The Jackson Cali Look reports seeing a local boy taking ins girl out the other afternoon and it was Ur first afternoon date a boy has had around Jackson for at least four years "Bail?" The French are said to be greatly relieved by the report that the Roosevelt administration is negotiating a readjustment of the Finnish war debt to the United States because they regard it as "bait" to encourage defaulting nations to pay something in the expectation that they too will secure a downward revision of their obligations In as much as France has been told repeatedly that any just claims of a debtor in good standing would be considered on the principle of capacity to pay it seems a little surprising to discover now that she has been waiting all along for "bait" before she paid anything more on her war debt to this country Indeed in view of the harsh things that have been said both In this country and in France about the French default it hardly appears credible that such a small bait as a possible revision of Finland's debt could entice such a big fish as France to be caught honoring its obligations But in the present state of European affairs the French may not care to have their friendly relations with the United States long disturbed simply to save a few token STARTED AS A CAMP DISHWASHER Molly went to work as a dishwasher in the cabins of miners and three weeks after her arrival she met and married John Brown called "Leadville Johnny" 37 years old unlettered open-fisted and red-haired In less than two months after his marriage Leadville Johnny struck pay dirt He was of- I fered $300000 cash for his claim He accepted imposing but one condition "Pay me off in thousand-dollar bills" he said "I want to take it home and toss it in the lap of the prettiest girl in this camp" He went bellowing into the cabin did a bear dance with his young wife then gave her the money all of it He found it necessary to explain at length just how much money $300000 genuine fortune Her mind did not go beyond the silver dollar at most "I want you to see and hold it and then hide It her husband said "I'm going down to celebrate at the Saddle Rock" Returning home somewhat later Johnny brought two men with him with the request they not wake his wife and that they start a fire in the kitchen stove -West found many sturdy characters standing In a picturesque fashion stove the clouds Particularly was this true along the last frontiers and in Denver a city that maintained its western atmosphere and still is peculiarly apart from other towns of like size because of its robustness Gene Fowler Denver newspaper man presents many of those interesting swashbuckling personages in his book "Timber Line" published by Covici-Friede New York Not the least was Mrs Margaret Tobin Brown better known as "the unsinkable Mrs Brown" A "PROPHET" UNHONORED AT HOME Mrs Margaret Tobin Brown encountered the hoots of her western sisters but she hoisted herself by the bootstraps of heroism into newspaper headlines "Molly Brown" sMr Fowler writes "was as naively colorful as she was brave She mistook her own enormous zest for symptom of artistic ability her ingenuous thirst for human relationship as evidence of social grace She was received abroad by tilted big-wigs because of her lack of worm-eaten sophistication That selfsame lack barred her from the portals of a Denver society that was as hide-bound as it was provincial" Mrs Brown grew up in the river bottoms near Hannibal Mo hated that of a spent her days hunting in winter and fishing in summer When she was 12 years old Molly became acquainted with Mark Twain Mr Clemens too had been fishing He at once saw her VIRTUALLY A STRANGER Professor Irvin announces a list of nineteen men who understand money

A GOES UP IN SMOKE "Molly rising from deep sleep had an uneasy feeling" Fowler says "She sniffed as the new fire sent wisps of smoke through crevices of the stove She 'felt the mounting heat Then she screamed She got up while her husband's pals retreated hastily from the cabin She scorched her fingers on the stove lids She delved among burning sticks but it was too late Of all places she had hidden the money in the stove and now $300000 was floating in the Uncivil le sky" "Don't you worry a bit honey" Johnny said "I'll get more Lots more too" Fantastic as it may seem Leadville JohnnY went out that very afternoon and located "The Little Johnny" one of the greatest producers of gold in Colorado history It is estimated that he took 20 million dollars from this bonanza "The meaning of money began to dawn on Molly" the writer says "It was the commencement critics said of her progress from Leadville to lorgnettes The Browns moved 'up the hill' where mine owners and bankers had mansions Johnny laid concrete floors in every room in the house and imbedded silver dollars edge to edge in the cement surfaces" Leadville was not big enough to hold Molly so she and Johnny went to Denver where he built another mansion Two huge lions made by a cemetery sculptor flanked the doorway and inside "spongers" and fake grand dukes partook of the Brown bounty SMARM) BY DENVER "ARISTOCRATS" The town's preening dowagers would have none of this red-headed upstart from the hills Not one of own husbands but once removed from the pick-handle and the was kind enough to advise Molly in her social adolescence She hired the largest orchestras gave the costliest balls drove he finest horses but met with snobbery At last conscious of her ignorance and shamed by her social shortcomings Molly left town Johnny said he guessed he'd stay home "Don't forget the name of your bank" he told her "It's all yours" Denver saw nothing of Mrs Brown for nearly eight years and heard little It was something of a sensation then when she returned to the city gowned in Parisian creations More the word spread that Molly had two French maids with whom she conversed fluently in their native Janguage Indeed during seven and a half years in European capitals she had become proficient in five who had left town unable to speak English When Leadville Johnny refused to "gad about" in Europe and elsewhere they separated But he never shut her off from his great purse All he desired for himself was privacy and the privilege of sitting with his shoes off in the parlor Mrs Brown Fowler says acquired 70-room house and estate near New York and she entertained the Astors snd other notables all of which Agonized her Denver scoffers In April of 1912 the home town which had refused flatly to receive Molly as a social equal )1 I 2) IL-DLL ill Vt r( 9 I )12-D I 0 its7-7 i g7: I cREDil E'ltPAtiSIOK LihN JEtal 1 7 fid 13 5 i'4:" vlari 0 12 Fill I th Ifi opo IR 11 (j 11 11 0 on 0 I ft 141

been in progresa for years through interracial groups operating in practically every county of the section where mob violence has been most prevalent The conference found that local and state authorities had not acted to eradicate the evil so called upon the President southern goVernorrand members of congress to wolk out an effective plan of federal and state cooperation This is significant in view of the South's traditional opposition to government interference in state affairs and to a federal anti-lynching law proposed more than ten years ago But the conference makes It plain that it would not shift responsibility wholly to the government It is the joint activity that is desired Several bills now pending in congress aro designed to establish a federal check on lynching so far 113 it may be constitutionally possible The Atlanta conference objected to a provision in the Wagner-Costigan senate bill that would compel each county in which a lynching occurred to pay the victim's family $10001 But the bill carries other penalties of more obvious value These would place direct reepemaibMity upon sheriffs or other officers in theme of prisoners Neglect of duty in pro-fading a prisoner against a mob would bring tine of $3000 a prison sentence of five years or both In the majority of lynchings victims have been taken from jail or the hands of officers Alm the strict performance of duty by officers of the law annually prevent more lynehings than occur Much more of mob violence could be prevented in this way But holding an 1 11 I a 1 I 4 4 1 I 1 I I 1 1 1 i
