CINCINNATI has gone into conniptions over
mean reward paid letter-carrier for picking
up 1924 off bank floor and leaving il with the
cashier for the loser, should he claim and
identify it. The excited loser soon appeared,
and was handed the money. He left but fifty
cents for the finder, whereupon "Rome
bowls" in derision. This much
discussed question resolves itself into
this: H the finder wanted pay
simply for his trouble, fifty cents was ample.
We know of any number of men who will
pick up 1924, or any other sum, at fifty cents
pick. and be glad of the chance. If he
wanted pay for his honesty it should be regu-
lated according to his inclination to steal it, and
probably 800, or even 5000. would not be too
much. So much for the finders side. The
man who recovered the money in this case was
probably a very penurious man, for his con-
duct intimated as much. It would have been
vastly more genteel had he but expressed his
thanks. The sentiment that suggests the
payment of reward is gratitude that the
money was found by an honest man. To Of
fer an honest man fifty cents is to insult him.
To ask him to share your good luck
in some more substantial manner would
be highly proper, and it would not
be beneath ones dignity to accept any reason
able testimonial. But for an honest man to
complain that he has been inadequately paid
for being honest is to impeach ones own hon
esty. A finder may easily rob himself Of
whatever credit attaches to honesty if he
stands out for suitsble compensation. The
proper thing to do in this instance would have
been to have courteously declined to accept
the halfiollar, and said no more about it.

THE Record, = in its issue Of gatur
day, gives some forcibIe arguments on
the subject now pending before the
Court Of Appeals on the local option
law and the social clubs of this city,
which are worthy of consideration
The Record" which will always be
found on the side of law and order
and good government, says:
"The clubs that violated the local
option law in this city were Indicted
as an organization; not as individuals.
1t 10 presumabIe that this was law,
as there was conviction under the
indictment. The theory then Is that
q corporation must be indicted and
punished as body, not as an individ-
uals Now reduce the theory to its
absurd result. Suppose the Judge
had sentenced the club to imprison-
ment as well as fine, how could the
judgment have been carried out?
LET the proposition be changed
from the internal monster rum that
has more rights and privileges than
any criminal or any freeman, to some
thing on which most men have rea-
sonable judgments. Now suppose
the directors of a festive club Of this
ancient city were to direct their oblig-
ing caterer to kill some very ardent
advocate of the local option law, and
the accommodating and faithful caterer
was to whip out his carving knife and
do the deed, who would be respon-
sible, the caterer or the directors ?
Why, both, any sane man would an

as body corporate or as individuals?
Why, common reason tells, as individ-

public would stand no such nonsense
as indictment of the directors, as a
corporation, and when the jury found
it guilty of murder. to end the farce
by saying that there was nobody to

SOCIAL.

The social at the First Methodist
church May 9th, was a delightful at
fair There were no restraints OF for
mality, and though the announcement
was for a social to afford an opportunity
for the strangers of the church to be.
come acquainted, none seemed to be or
feel as strangers. The church was well
filed. There was an informal pro-
gram consisting OF music,
recItations and addresses. The
pastor introduced Rev. Il. Moys, who
opened with prayer, as the first minister
OF any denomination in what Is now
EmporIa, he having been here when the
place was hamlet of three houses, and
having founded the first Methodist Epis-
copsl organization, as well as the very
recent West Street organization.
The music, vocal solos, was by Mrs.
Charles Harris. Her first selection,
when the Tide Comes In" was render
ed in her accustomed excellent manner.
Her fine soprano voice needs no criti-
cism more than to say in this audience,
where she has until recently been
member of the choir, her appearance was
the cause of general pleas
ure, and the above solo heartily
applauded. She responded to encore
with "Turnbam Toll" Prof. AC. Moss
accompanied Mrs. Harris on the organ.
Mrs. Olive Lubbock who recently on
ona or ttpo airptIar ocaaa;cpIs 80 b3uhfy
delighted Empona audiences, recited
Toms Little STAR" and in response to
encore ASLEEP at the Switch" The
former was one of the numbers
read by Miss Nella Brown, but
comparison was by no means detTimen-
tai. 1t gave excellent opportunity 10
show originality in the artists concep-
ton of the idea to be expressed, and IN
certain parts our judgment is that the
rendition by Mrs. Lumbeck was the
most natural and reasonable. In the
last recitation she carried the audience
through all the horrors of railroad
wreck occasioned by the switchman's
negligence as really as though It had
not been "only a dream"
Judge Z. w. Cunningham delivered a
brie address of welcome to the strangers
to which Mr.. B. q. Carver, recently from
Ohio, responded on behalf of the stran-
gers. After few cheering words from
the pastor, and a reminder that mutual
acquaintance depends upon more than
one. the audience which filed the church
gave themselves over the social pleasure
and the consideration" OF ice-cream
and cake which the ladies had thought
fully provided.
