THE BOND CASE.

In 1901 Hudson T. Morton who held
the larger part of the Phillips county
bonds issued in 1891 and 1892 brought
suit in the United States circuit court
against the county to collect interest
on the bonds which the county board
had refused to pay. The Burlington
R. R. Co. made proposition to the
county board to furnish the attorneys
to fight the case free of charge to the
county and the board accepted the pro-
position Later on in the early part of
1907, Bennett & Kelsey of Holyoke
made proposition to the county board
to appear as attorneys for the county
in this case and on the terms that, if
the case was won they were to receive
as attorney fee 10 per cent of all the
county was saved by the result of the
case and, if the case was lost, they
were to receive nothing. The case was
tried before Judge Lewis in Denver
this week and was decided against the
county. At the time this action was
instituted the HERALD took the posi-
ton that the bonds should be paid and
has had no reason to change its posi-
ton on that question

Beer Money and churcnes.

In the eighteenth century there were
no temperance societies or bands Of
hope, nor Rechabites and blue ribbon
army. To be as drunk as lord' was
the height of human felicity. 1t was
the age Of three bottle men," of con-
vivial toasts. Of drinking songs. Even
the church indirectly encouraged in
temperance. There were certain dis
tricts where at Whitsuntide the church
wardens were accustomed to levy con-
tributions of matt from the parishion-
ers. This was brewed into strong ale
and sold in the church. The Whitsun-
tide topers had, however, pious
method in their madness.
The money spent on the beer was
expended by the churchwardens in
church maintenance, and the muddled
roisterers no doubt believed them
selves to be pillars Of the church even
when, under the influence of the alco-
hol, they rolled upon its pavement.
They thought themselves supporters Of
the church when they wanted Sup
porting" themselves and deemed them
selves most sanity when they were
most soddened. Until as recently as
1927 (when the license was WITHDRAWN
q church and public house were COW
cred by one roof at Deepdale, midway
between Derby and Nottingham. A
door that could be opened at will serv-
ed to separate the consecrated interior
Of the church from the common tap
room Of the tavern!-Chambers' Jour
