CHIEF OF CONDUCTORS 1 will"" Austin Garretson, president of the Order of Railroad Conductors, Is cred- lted by many with being the "brains" -! the recent coup by which the rail road brotherhoods forced congress to 1 pass an eight-hour basic day bill In order to avoid a paralyzing strike. Garretson Is also a big man pliy Irnlly, being six feet and two Inches la stuture. Men who know him Inti mately say that he is an accurate thinker, a skilled analogist, a philoso pher, a materialist and a sentimental ist. He likes to give a poetic touch to his speeches and his writings and, although be la not a religious man, reads the Bible at his home, in his of Ice and often on bis travels. The Bible, he says, covers the whole range of human experiences and la the safest ef all guides, regard - lees of circumstances or centuries. He . was a conductor for many years on . Hie Missouri. Kansas and Texas rail road, and for some time raa passenger trains la Merle. The conductors. . teepectlng his earnestness and ability, Jumped him ever the heads of other officers in their brotherhood and elected him first vice' president, that he might become the chief of their order If Edgar B. Clark should die, .resign er engage In some other business. When Mr. Clarke became a member of she Interstate commerce commission Mr. Garretson, by the letter of the program, was chosen to be his successor. I - 1A V SHOUSE LOYAL TO THE HORSE 8 Representative Shouso of Kansas represent a district where there Is an automobile to every six persona, yet he Is loyal to the horse, for he used to live In Kentucky, where he was odl tor of the Farmer and Breeder. "In Kansas we have the heavy draft horse at Its best," said Mr, Sbouse. "He belong to the farm and does bis work well. When we want to go anywhere w us as automobile, but I know what the thoroughbred mean to the country at large, and- partlcularly to communities In which "horse breeding I an economic asset "In recent tour through Ay dis trict I . was forcibly reminded of a movement which had Its Inception In Kentucky la 1868, when a breeders' organisation was formed to purchase all undesirable or barren thorough bred mare and re.'.l them without nam or pedigree. When I saw the sorry nondescript which war being picked up I couldn't help thinking now much superior thee thoroughbred outcast wen to the riffraff .which had either breeding nor Individuality to commend them. The European war has been great benefit te the United Bute, as It ha token lot of worthless breeding material. :r "What we need now 1 a little intelligence tad Initiative to remedy the mistake ef former generations.

THEYSING AND KAKE MERRY First Regiment Left Camp Monday, 8eoond Tueeday and Third Wed nesday en Four Day Journey. Camp Glenn. North Carolina's eI dier boys are on the way to the Mex ican border a special train consisting of one standard Pullman, alx tourist Pullmans, on kitchen car, two bag gage, five fiat and five box cars car ried the First regiment Aboard are seventeen officers and 187 enlisted men. The Norfolk Southern had charge of the train to New Bern, thi Atlantic Coaat Line from New Bern to Montgomery, via Wilmington, Augusta and Atlanta, the Louisville and Nashville from Montgomery to New Orleans and the Southern Pacif ic from New Orleans to El Paso, In command of the train Is Captain W. A. Fair, of Llncolnton, commanding officer of Troop A, and senior line officer aboard. - The leaving of the first and brigade headquarters left Col. Wiley C. Rod man of the second in command of the camp. His regiment began moving Tuesday morning at eight o'clock and went In three sections, with two hours Intervale. The second moved by way of Goldsboro and Raloigh, fol lowing the Southern to Birmingham, the Queen and Crescent to Shreve port and the Texaa Pacific to El Paso. The third also went by way of Ral eigh, leaving here In three sections at she tame hours Wednesday. From Raleigh the third went to Birming ham by way of the Seaboard, from Birmingham to Memphis, thence to Texarkana and on to El Paso over the Texas Pacific. It will bo noted that this gave the three regiments a daylight trip through North Carolina. General Youag arranged the schedule with the Idea of giving the people of the state as opportunity of getting a glimpse of their soldier boys. The boys were eager te g and the work ef preparation, hard as It was, haa bee handled with teal. Boa fire .

With the. first section went Capt. W. C. Horton, popular Raleigh physl clan, who was appointed -camp 'sur geon only recently aad who had not expected to make the trip.

The inarch across town will not delay the train and will serve to give the boys a chance to "etretch their legs." Troops Can't Vots In Tsxas. Raleigh. Chief Justice Walter Clark, of the Supreme Court. In statement answering numerous In quiries, expressed the view that there is no law under which the North Carolina guardsmen now being trans ported from this state to the Mexican border can vote In the November election. A state statute under which the Civil War North Carolina troops vot ed out of the state was limited as to being In force simply to the time peace was declared between the Con federacy and the 1'nlted States. The Chief Justice says numbers of other states of the Union have special stat utes permitting troops to vote where ever on duty, and soma even allow ing traveling men to voU by mall from other states. He advises tbtt the legislature should provide for future voting of .'farth Carolina troops this winter. but this will not cure impending dis franchisement of about 3,200 guards- men now leaving the state fur the Mexican border in the event they are not returned to the state before elec tion day. i Military Police at Camp Glenn, No two towns in North Carolina had better police protection during the past summer than Morehead City and Beaufort under the regime of the Military Police established by author ities st Camp Glenn. Those M. P.'s, organized Into efficient law-maintaining bodies by pnvoit marshal. Lieu tenant Colonel C. S. McOhee. of Franklinton, Third Infantry, were picked for service. There was plenty of opportunity for It, too. Th establishment of Military Po lice system in the towns about Camp Glenn was purely a preventive meas ure. As a matter ef fact. It la gen erally admitted that never before In North Carolina has a body of men of comparative numbers been assem bled, with as little ef the rowdyism displayed. The force Itself wss organised to take care of aay possible outbreaks or occasional lawbreaking. With MorehedU City as hssdquartere, the force was divided Into two mala divis ion, one for Morehead City and the other for Beaufort while mounted cavalrymen patrolled th roads to eaaip and details prsserved order ou the trains. By s arrangement of shifts, aa adequats number of men were on duty all the time aad there was never any let up on vigilance. Each one of the military police waa equipped with an automatic, ammuni tion and a night stick. The cavalry patrol was furnished with horses. The men were distinguished from the rest of the TordJsrs by blue arm bands with the letters M. P. In white Unquestionably, a great part of the efficiency of the organisation was due to the experience of th meu who made it up. Numbered among the police were several who had seen service In the regulsr army two who were with th sailors at Vera Cruz and participated In that affair. Prac tically the entire aumber had eeen police . duty in towns er cities of North Carolina or other states. They were picked with this la view and th personnel of the organlbatloa was changed a aumber ef times, when better men were discovered ia the ranks. If liquor had bsea tabeede ia aamp after Genera Youag Issued orders against It and after th (sprees auth orities at Camp Olsna, gav aotico- that none of the stuff would be de livered theme. It wss more so whea the Military Police gat ea th Job. Their's was th Job of kplng la touch with all the express offlcos la Beaufort aad Morehead. Their authority of arrest wae aot limited to soldiers. Seversl bostmen who were discovered with more llqtfr. oa their boats than the law allows were ar rested for trial by civil autherillej while the soldiers who were found with liquor in their possession were tried by summary court and sentenc ed to the guard nous nd extra du ties in camp. Th fstal eertaintr of the arrest and the conviction when guilty bad Its effect. . Liquor the little that had appeared vanished It la safe to say that Morehead City and Beaufort were model communi ties. The military and civil author ities worked In . perfect harmony while the mayors, of both town e pressed their thorough appreciation of the work of the soldiers.
