WILLIAMS SOUND SENSE.

7 Ohm SHARP WILLIAMS. repre-
sentative in congress from Mis-
sissippi. and leader of the Demo-
cratic minority in the house. is a thor
ough going partisan, but before he is
a partisan he is a first rate citizen.
We hardly believe anyone who knows
Mr. Williams record will challenge his
Democracy. lie has voted only the
Democratic ticket ever since he has
been old enough to vote and his voice
has been heard on the stump in many
hard fought campaigns in advocacy of
Democratic principles.
Mr.. Williams talked TO a South
Carolina audience a few nights ago. As
usual. he made an interesting speech.
but there was one paragraph In it that.
coming from a man who occupies Mr..
Williams position in the world of poll
ties is specially noteworthy. He said:
"As long as 1 remain where / am, in
a sort of seni-official position as floor
leader Of the Democracy in the house
OF representatives. it shall never be
said that the president Of the United
States or any other Republican. Of
fered any measure which was good
for the country which was not sup
ported by as many Democratic votes as
/ could influence"
Believers in good government win
find in Mr.. Williams words abundant
reason for hoping that the standards
OF our public men are to grow better.
instead Of worse, as time goes on. Mr..
Williams realizes fully that everything
advocated by the Republicans is not
bad. that everything advocated by
Democrats is not good. In common
with The Herald he believes that
there is very much more good In the
Democratic party and its principles
than in the Republican party and the
policies il stands for
But any time Mr.. Williams finds the
Republicans advocating something that
is for the welfare of the entire country,
ne is going to give his vote to that
measure or policy. That is the part
OF good citizenship, Of good American
ism. Democrats and Republicans alike.
when they are honest-and there are
dishonest men in both parties-want
only 90 serve their country to the best
OF their ability Honest men make
mistakes. hat hey are not mistakes of
the heart.
We would be glad If more Demo-
Gratis would adopt the views of Mr..
Williams And IL is not too much to
hope that some Of our Republican
friends may some time see good in az
least few of the principles Of Demo
cracy.

after he took the drink. however, his
legs weakened. his conversation grew
thick and he manifested every evidence
of intoxication. According to the
story:
You oughtn't to have given him
that last one. SAM. said Constable
Johnston. It's against the law to sell
liquor to an incorporate person.
But he wasn't Incorporate, Bill. I'M
til he took that one said Tavern
Keeper McCutcheon. 1t might be
against the law TO sell it to him now.
but it wasn't when he got it,
THE upshot was that Bill made an
information against the tavern keeper.
charging him with selling liquor to an
incorporate person
Here was a nice question for the
court to determine, but the court was
spared the necessity Of doing so be-
cause the prosecuting attorney asked
that an order Of dismissal be entered.
Really, when is a man Incorporate?
A wise authority has said that one
drink is enough, two are more than
enough and three are not enough by
good deal. It seems to us that that
about sizes up the situation. Some men
really need, or think. they need, one
drink. They take it.
Then they are persuaded to take an
other, which they neither need nor
want. BY the time the stuff has taken
hold" they feel that they could stand
just one more. The third brings them
to the state where they don't care a
rap how many they take. That's wha.
the wise man meant when he said that
three are not enough. II might be said
that saloon keepers should be pro-
hibited from selling more than ole
drink to the same person on the same
day.
This would hardly solve the problem
though. There would be nothing to
prevent an inebriate from going from
one saloon to another until he had
acquired a jag of such proportions as
to incapacitate him. Another objection
is that some men may become fntoxi-
Gated as a result of taking single
drink, while others can hold ten without
showing them. And there you are. Per-
haps, after all. the only way 70 abolish
the liquor habit is to abolish the liquor.

SANTA CLAUS.

The ANCIENT DISCUSSION as TO
the advisability Of letting children
know that Santa Claus. as a concrete
personality, is a myth. is again to the
fore. At the outset we desire to go on
record again as a hearty believer in
continuing the deception as long as
possible. Let the children believe as
long as they can that there is jolly
old Santa Claus. that he really does go
around in sleigh drawn by reindeer
and that he actually distributes gifts
to all good children.
We have yet TO find an instance in
which belief in Santa claus has done
a child harm. on the otl.e.' hand. there
are hundreds % thousands OF instances
Iii which it has brought unmeasursbie
happiness to tie youngsters A writer
in an eastern paper says that children
should all be told there IS no Santa

thetic over it-a family Ia which Santa

too many of them, but do they furnish
us with sufficient reason for aban-
doning the patron saint Of Christmas?
If some children must be told. need all
be told? Does not the joy the child has
had in believing more than compensate
II for the sorrow that comes with ua-
deception? And. come to think about
it, if you were not lold until you were
big boy or big girl IF the non-ex-
istence Of Santa Claus, the shock
wasn't SO very great, after all.

the CHADWICK CASE.

T HE CHADWICK CASE teaches us
that the rural community does not
always furnish the best market for
gold bricks. We believe that almost
any farmer would have been far too
cautious TO advance Mrs. Chadwick
enormous sums of money on mythical
securities and forged notes. Yet we
find banker, tempted by the offer Of
large interest and by the promise of a
handsome salary for a period of years,
glady advancing hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars to Mrs. Chadwick.
We find that another banker certified
that certain package deposited with
him BY Mrs. Chadwick contained Sc
eurities Of the value of $4,000 600. when,
as matter of fact, the package con-
tanned nothing whatever Of value The
banker in this case was not dishonest.
At least there is nothing to show that
he was. He was merely criminally
careless. According to his own story
he never. examined the package at all.
He took Mrs. Chadwick's word for it,.
Isn't it about time to stop talking
about the ease with which the city
bunco steerer finds victims in visitors
from the country? Could any farmer
have proven as gullible as the bankers
with whom Mrs. Chadwick did bust
ness? Why. a moments though should
have satisfied them that she was dis
honest. She claims she could not sell
her securities because they We're tied
up in litigation. That is the Humbert
swindle ali over again. The bankers
must have read of the Humbert swindle
but they never examined the securities
until it was too late.
The banker who loaned money on the
alleged Carnegie note for 100000 seems
TO have been distrustful at the out
set. Mrs. Chadwick's assurance that
she had seen Carnegie sign the note
was not sufficient. Then the woman
promptly produced man who claimed
that he was Carnegie's confidential
agent. That satisfied the banker. He
loaned the money. How easy it would
have been for him to telegraph or
cable Mr. Carnegie and ask him if he
had signed the note presented. Isn't
it strange that the banker did not think
OF this?
The pity is that he did not lose his
own money. He lost money that had
been entrusted TO him by depostors.
They. not he, are entitled to the SIM
patty.
