However, Starr was
I as one of the
i three men who late in December held
i up and robbed the Bank of Seligman
at Seligman, Mo.
Starr’s wife, son and mother were
with him when he died. The bandit
according to statements of officers,
has realized almost since the moment
that he was wounded that he would
not live, took the situation philosophi-
cally and gave no excuse for his lat-
est escapade except that he was in
r debt and had to have money,
Starr, according to Sheriif John-
son, made a statement before his
death, giving the identity of his three
companions who escaped, but the of-
ficer refused to make public any of
the statement on the ground that
Starr’s information might lead to the
arrest of the bandits and that publi-
cation of it probbaly would hinder
the officers.

Fort Worth, Feb. 21.—The bodies
of W. D. Robinson, 65 years old, W.
D. Robinson Jr., 40 years old, and J.
C. Robinson, 33 years old, riddled
with bullets from a shotgun and pis-
tol, are lying in the morgue of Rob-
ertson-Mueller, undertakers, here,
and Bert Robinson, 27 years old, son
and brother of the dead men, is con-
fined in the Tarrant County jail as
the result of a wild shooting that oc-
curred about 9 o’clock this morning.
Officers and ambulance drivers who
responded to a hysterical call in a
woman’s voice from a neighboring
house, left immediately for the scene
in the Snatchum community on Bear
Creek, about sixteen miles southwest
of here in the Leonard Store voting
precinct.
They found the bodies of the three
men, one within the walls of his
home, another in his front yard, and
the father a short distance up the
road, where he was fleeing for his
life.
According to neighbors, the young
man charged with the murder had
been acting strangely for some time.
He suffered an attack of influenza
last year, and since that has been
considered dangerous, according to
those who knew him best.

Two more passenger trains were
taken off by the Katy last Sunday,
making four trains discontinued by
this road since thex first of the year.
All the fast trains are now making
local stops, which gives Whitewright
two trains daily north and south.
The northbound trains are due at
10:56 a. m. and 11:17 p. m. South-
bound trains are due at 5:32 a. m:
and’4:54 p/m. The trains taken off
last Sunday were due here at 4:14
a. m. going south and at 10:35 p. m.
going north.
While it might seem that White-
wright will not have as good train
service under the change, the service
is not changed much, as the trains
now stopping here were non-stop

wright, having lived here many years
ago, and we welcome him in his new
business relation with Lively & Com-
pany.
Hrave Lively has been identified
with our business and social life for
many years, and is one of the most
successful business men of this place.
United He has helped build the business en-
terprises of this place, and the name
of Lively is inseparably connected
with the progress of Whitewright.
In conversation with the Sun rep-
resentative, Mr. Lively said:
“I am proud of Whitewright and
her people. I cast my lot with this
community many years ago when a
young man, and I have never had oc-
casion to regret that decision. The
social and commercial life of White-
wright cannot be excelled by any
community anywhere,, and I can only
see the brightest future fo? White-
wright in looking over the resources
of this community.
“The churches and schools and civ-
ic organizations cannot be excelled
by any place. The black lands and
the farms, in the way of productive-
ness, cannot be surpassed, and pros-
perity is surer here than any other
place I know of. In the readjust-;
ment necessitated because of the war
I look for Whitewright to respond ■
more quickly than any other part of,
the country.
“In my own business, I have gone
through every department and re-
organized it. I have placed recon-,
struction prices on every article of
merchandise to correspond to pres-
Washington, Feb. 22.—The drift
toward certralization of government
with a steadily growing tax on the
people was denounced in the House
today by Representative Campbell
(Rep.) of Kansas, who was designat-
ed to deliver the Washington Birth-
day address.
The Kansas Representative declar-
ed it would be difficult to enumerate
all of the departments, bureaus and
commissions created since Washing-
ton’s time to exercise “bureaucratic
authority and paternal guardianship
over the people.”
“There is no activity, business, so-
cial or domestic condition that is not
the object of their supervision, their
solicitude or their authority,” he
said. “Over 690,000 civilian em-
ployes make up the army that over-
sees and directs the affairs of the
people and assumes guardianship ov-
er them. Government agents and in-
spectors go merrily ont Government
control is the remedy for every ill
and Government regulation the
source of every good. The people
pay all the expenses of this compli-
cated machinery of Government, that
has its agents looking over the shoul-
der of every business man and direct-
ing the affairs of every citizen.
“The use of the Government is not
without deplorable precedent. The
disappointment and despair of the
people of France growing out of the
delay in the inauguration of the mil-
lenium by the activities of the Gov-
ernment at Paris led to the French
Revolution.”
It requires no uncommon qualities. to
lay up a surplus. Every wage-earner, ev-
ery salaried man—everyone who labors
and earns a livelihood, by his thrift and
perseverence, may build to his ultimate
fortune.
Riches are rarely acquired suddenly.
“Getting the first thousand was the hard-
est job,” one of our great captains of indus-
try was fond of saying, “succeeding thous-
ands seemed to come themselves.”
Save! Spend less than you make!
Practice self-denial, the will to win—and
success will seldom disappoint you.
The best way to save is to start a bank
account—and add to it regularly. After a
while, when you have overcome the temp-
tation to “check it out,” you will take a
great pride in seeing it grow—and grow—
and grow! .
This bank will welcome your account,
“like the father of a dowerless daughter
welcomes a bridegroom,” as the Japanese
say.
I Washington, Feb. 23.—President
Wilson, in an address today to a dele-
gation from the Woodrow Wilson
Club of Harvard University, whom
he received at the White House, de-
clared he would bend his efforts to
the last in supporting the cause of
world peace.
The delegation had come to pre-
sent to the President a written appre-
ciation of his services as President
and of his efforts toward world
peace.
Robert C. Stuart Jr. of Houston, .
Texas, who headed the delegation,
told the President that the club was
organized on the second anniversary
of the signing of the armistice and
that besides endeavoring to perpetu-
ate Wilsonian ideas it planned to col-
concem-
navy, commerce

last twenty-four hours.
In regard to none of
there been an exchange
invitation and acceptance, but in ev-
ery case the selections made by Mr.-
Harding are expected by his closest
associates to stand.
Assignment of the navy portfolio
to Mr. Denby, who is a Detroit law-
yer, furnished the first real surprise
of the cabinet situation, for his name
had not been mentioned publicly in
connection with the place until today.
It is understood that from the first he
has been under consideration, how-
ever, and was held in reserve for just
such a contingency as Mr. Harding
faced last week when former Govern-
or Frank O. Lowden of Illinois de-
clined to b'e considered for the navy
secretaryship.
