Recalls a Fable.
Enid Eagle; Frank Greer's crazy
charge of graft against Leslie Nib
lack can best be told IN fable where
in the animals OF the temperate zone
met in a mass meeting. The fox pre-
sided. The skunk was the last TO ar
rive When he appeared at the front
door of the great open air temple ali
the other animals departed covering
! their noses with their hand. "Why. am
/ I thus insulted?" wrathfully asked the
skunk as he arose and addressed
1 Chairman Fox as TO the cause OF his
1 desertion. MY dear brother skunk,
began the Fox, 1T is not what you
have done in the past. but what You
/ might do in the future that has caused
the brethren 20 leave without intend
ing any insult whatever While it is

correct.
Not All Are Immune.
] Clinton News The printing bill of
The Leader for the constitutional con

senate In its entirety. The fight was
made against The Leader by a special
committee headed by Senators Staf-
| ford and Agee, who recommended that
( the bill be reduced. But the senate
was convinced OF the justness of the
claim and turned the action of the
committee down. Even senators are
not immune from personal spite and
selfish motives.
Prejudice Has Never Won.
Noble County Sentinel: Without ex

Leader we must say that he acted
