has never heretofore been chal-
lenged," O'Connor continued,
a," ‘One hundred per cent’ this, or
‘100 per cent’ that, is a very recent
innovation In our national ideology.
"The dictator demands the TOO
per cent’—and of course will last
only as long as he has it.”
^O’Connor said “The repetitious
disavowal of any desire to become
a dictator cannot be taken at full
faith when actions evidence the
contrary.”
Other Dictators?
*'No ’dictator’ in Europe would
fer one moment admit he is a dic-
tator. They all palaver and prate
honeyed words about, 'democracy'
and Justify their every act—no mat-
ter how drastic—as for the best in-
terest of their ‘free’ people. They
all claim to be supported by a ‘man-
date’ from the people.”
"Current history records," he
added, "that the first step of the
dictator is to abolish, or make im-
potent, the legislative branch of the
government. That step is indispen-
jjable to the fulfillment of his pro-
gram and the attainment of his
1100 per cent.’
"What the American people are
” riously concerned about, at this
’ery moment, is this demand of
le president for’only ‘yes-men’ in
iur parliament. They are asking
iach other: ‘Well, What is the dlf-
mce between that and having no
gislative branch of the government
•t all?’
“Does it not, either way, lead
levltably to the same end—one-
|i man government?”
‘I Some of lls Left
J O'Connor said “There are still
'some of us left who recall that our
forefathers established the Ameri-
can system of government after a
ivolution against one-man govern-
it; that they set up a tri-partite
(stem, an executive, a legislative
id a court, to remain forever in-
ipendent of eaeh other’s encroach-
ents.”
'Are they still independent, or
ii#!we now stand at Thermopylae?"
He said that “The editorial which
le president accepted as his own
ixt used an expression only re-
:ntly current, that the president is
le responsible head’ of the gov-
iiftnent."
“That is an entirely new concep-
lon in America,” O’Connor con-
Inued.
“It is true that he is called ‘the
ihief executive,’ the head of one q)
three independent branches of
te government, but each and every

member of the other two branches
have their own responsibility direct
and separate and apart from any
responsibility to the president.
Responsible to President
“A representative has no respon-
sibility to the president.
“How the oposite of that axiom
grew is difficult to understand.
‘The responsibility of a represen-
tative is to the people whom he
represents and his country. He is
elected directly by the people—and
that is so, whether or not the chief
executive is a member of the same
political party.”

as having come all the way from
Austria for the occasion. Clad in
snowwhlte aprons and caps and
equipped with all the implements
of modern surgery, and then some,
the three men performed “opera-
tions” on Bill Walker, J. M. Tin-
dall and Bob Douglas. From Walker
they extracted some campaign lit-
erature for Ernest Thompson, from
Tindall a “hand” of playing cards
containing 8 aces, and from Doug-
las who was the major patient, they
removed everything from a can of
kraut Juice to printed banners
telling of the principles for which
Rotary stands.
Upon completion of the “opera-
tion” on Douglas, the three "specia-
lists” removed their uniforms and
revealed themselves as Dick Hughes,
Walter Rogers and Frank Foster,
members of the Pam pa Rotary club.
Guests today were: A. V. Alvinti-

LELIA LAKE.—Mrs. John Ho-
ward, known as “the protector of
Leila Lake" because she has caused
J captures of 14 law violators, has
been made a deputy sheriff of Don-
lley county.
I Sherin Uuy Pierce, wno commis-
| sioned Mrs. Howard, told how she
; broke up an attempted robbery of
the postoffice here in 1930, then di-
I rected officers as they staged a
! running gunfight with the two
I would-be robbers. When the two
| were convicted, Mrs. Howard was
, rewarded by the federal govem-
ment.
| "If Mrs. Howard hadn’t been able
[to direct us over these West Texas
toads when that robbery was broken
up, we never would have been able
to catch that Jackson gang that
pulled the job,” Pierce recalled.
Seventeen attempts at burglary
and robbery have been made at Le-
ila Lake in recent year. Tn only
three ol the cases have the crimin-
als escaped. Of the three escapers,
two were wounded in gunfire ex-
changes with Mrs. Howard's hus-
band and their son, Lon. The crim-
inals who escaped were traced par-
tially by blood trails.
"When we first moved here.” Mrs.
Howard said, “robberies were so
frequent that Lon decided to make
an alarm system. Now. ail I have
Won o Battle After
Peace Was Declared
DLUSHED with his victory over
1 the Creek Indians, distinguished
for his triumphs in the face of
army discord, scarcity of food and
other difficulties,' Andrew Jackson
stood on the threshold of his na-
tional careef in August, 1814. He
was then in command at Mobile,
a major-general in the regular
army.
On Sept. 14, the British attacked
Fort Bowyer on Mobile Point and
were repulsed. Entering Spanish
territory, they then retired to
Pensacola. Jackson asked orders to
attack; none came. But he at-
tacked anyhow with a force of
3000 troops. His victory proved
tremendously important since it
made possible a defense of New
Orleans, and here Jackson arrived
Dec. 1.
With frenzied energy the border
captain set up defenses after pro-
claiming martial law. His army
was a motley one—regulars, mili-
tia from neighboring states, a few
pirates, a battalion of Negroes—
but Jackson fused his men with
the fire of battle and on Jan. 8,
1815, defeated the British in a
sweeping slaughter. Jackson had
scored the greatest American vic-
tory on land during the entire War
of 1812, but he had achieved it two
weeks after the treaty of peace
had been signed at Ghent, Dec. 24,
1814.
Jackson is shown here on a

ries, enlarged.

TWO SISTERS FOUND
HANGING IN ATTIC
BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 19.—Kather-
ine and Marguerita Helfrieh, mid-
dleaged spinster sisters, were found
hanging in the attic of their home
here Thursday.
Folice Chief J. Emer Harris re-
ported a note addressed to an aunt
and signed by the sisters, said they
“couldn’t stand it any more.”
Harris said the sisters tied electric
cords,around their necks and to the
rafters, then jumped off chairs.
BERLIN, Aug. 19—The foreign of-
fice last night warned Czechoslova-
kia, through its semi-official organ
diplomatic political correspondence,
that it must stop “dodging” and re-
vise its minority policy in conformi-
ty with the demands of Sudeten
German Leader Konrad Henlein if
the interests of European peace are
to be served.
The warning, made more ominous
by the massing of 1,000,000 or more
German troops for unprecedented
peacetime maneuvers, followed Hen-
lein’s rejection of the Prague gov-
ernment’s minority reform propo-
sals as a basis for negotiation.
The diplomatic political corres-
pondence endorsed the rejection and
said there can be no appeasement
of Nazi-Czech tension unless full
consideration is given to Henlein’s
eight-point, autonomy demands.
“The Czech government’s drafts
of the minority statute and admin-
istration reform must be interpret- j
ed as attempts to dodge the neces-
sary clarification of the Juristic
status of nationalities in the state
and preserve intact the conditions
which are responsible for the pres-
ent tension.” the foreign office
mouthpiece said.
“The Sudeten answer gave a clear
and impartial elucidation of the es-
sence of the problem.
