Willard, May 4.-Editor Courier
While so much is being said and writ
ten about the many uses and advan-
tages of the rural telephones and while
We think them symbolical OF the pro-
gress and prosperity attendant upon
republican administration, a word
about one of the abuses may be in or
der.
1t may be summed up in one word
viz: eavesdropping.
On rural lines there are as many
rings as there are phones. Young
America" may regard it as a vehicle
for interchange of small talk, some
from sentimental and still others
from business standpoint. For in
stance Mr.. A rings up Mr.. B, the faith
er or elder sister as the case may be
at Mr. C's house seems possessed with
morbid desire to hear the conversa-
ton and without any qualms OF con-
science, walks to the phone, takes
down the receiver with it's attendant
click, and listens, thereby setting an
example for the younger members OF
the household.
Mr. A and Mr.. B converse for
while, possibly of a private mat
ter of some Importance, and instead Of
being strictly private it has become
quasi-pubiic, besides running the risk
of being misunderstood or misquoted
Children, on account of the pre-
cedent,are disposed of as irresponsible
but older people, especially parents
there is little excuse, and they should
feel crushing sense of their own
weakness.
There seems to be crying need fol
reform. Where shall it begin, now
or should it have begun four or five
generations before the offenders were
born? D. C.

Frank NJ. De Harpert-Trouble Said
I to Have Started Over Money.

Washington, May 6.-(Courier Spe-
/. cial Service.)-A son-in-law against
his father-in-law is an interesting role
in which two men will appear in the
district court here the coming Septem-
ber Attorney P. Hanley has filed suit
for the plaintiff, J.. A. Spangler, OF
Wayne, Henry county, against Frank
M. Harpert The defendant resides
near Charlottesville and is the plain
tiff's father-in-law. The plaintiff
claims damages in the sum of $4,000,
holding that the defendant persuaded
and induced his daughter to leave the
plaintiff, her husband. The trouble
between the two men is alleged to
have started some time ago over the
surety of some notes which the de-
PENDANT went for the plaintiff. The
plaintiff claims his father-in-law be-
came very adverse toward him over
money matters and then commenced
to poison the mind of his daughter in
regard to him. 1t seems that the
wife did leave the husband and took
two small children in her custody.
The plaintiff is about 30 years of age
and his wife is somewhat younger.
They have been married about six
years.
