SHOULD SERVE AS A WARNING.

Although it has been repeatedly dem
onstrated that a man who attempts to live
"a fried oyster life on fried liver in
Gomez will soon or later tumble into the pit
of dishonor, yet men go right on living
that kind of lives. The truth Of this some
what homely assertion has twice been
brought to the attention of the people of
this section within the past month.
In Salt Lake c. @. Slade, who had for
more than 20 years been a trusted employe
of the post office, was caught in the act OF
purloinng money from letters. These
thefts had been continuing for some time,
but not until few days before he was de-
tected in the act of committing the crime,
did the least suspicion point to Mr.. Slade.
In his confession after he was arrested he
told the DID, old story-he had been living
beyond his income for several years He
finally reached the parting Of the roadside
hadto either give up the society in which he
and his wife had been travelling or resort
to illegal means of securing money with
which to keep upappearances. Rather than
To drop down "a notch in the social scale, he
chose to 90 the route which was to ineYit-
ably lead him to ruin. Like thousands who
had gone that route before him, he doubt
less said to himself he would stop before he
reached the yawning abyss of dishonor.
But after taking his first step he found it
such an attractive pathway to tread that all
thought of turning back was forgotten.
Thus he journeyed on, each day becoming
more bold in his acts of crime, until final
ly he dropped into the pit. And now, in
stead of being honored and respected by
his fellow men. he will spend the declining
years of life behind prison bars.
The other case referred to is that of
Edward Holzheimer of Pocatello, who had
been honored by the citizens of Bannock
county by being elected member of the
lower house of the Legislature. His sudden
downfall can be attributed to the same
cause as that of Mr. Slade-inherent greed
for gold, desire to live beyond his means
So intent was this desire that he resorted
To such glaring criminal acts as forgery anG
embezzlement, but his work was so coarse
that be fell into the pit much sooner thar
others in whose pathway he was following
And now instead of being an honored rep
resentative in the lower house of the legis
lature, he is fugitive from justice, having
quietly left for parts unknown when hi
learned that his criminal acts had become

Whether or not there is any concerted
effort upon the part of some of the farmers
of Bear Lake county to organize farmers
union or cooperative store, we are unable
to say But should there be such plan on
foot, we wish to remind those Interested in
it of the dismal failures that attenned the
coop stores of Paris, Bloomington and
Montpelier. 1t is safe to say that not one
who was interested in either of those insti
buttons could be induced to become con
nected with another coop store or farmers
union of any kind.

As it is not long now until the selection
of candidates for mayor and councilmen
will have to be made, it is time the question
was being decided as to whether or not the
city campaign is to be conducted on partison
or bipartisan lines The Examiner is in
favor of the former plan and will have more
to say on the question in the near future.

Raised on Virginia farm, the kRcwI-
edge OF farm lands and their values came
early to Mr.. White. His experience as a
real estate dealer really began IN 1923,
when he opened an Office in Missouri.
From there his indomitable energy and
push caused him TO branch ont, until his
business covered a large territory IN the
West.
In 1902 long and serious illness forced
him % give up the business IN the West
and come 'home," and, being satisfied
that there were great possibilities in this
line IN Virginia. he has brought his en-
ergy and experience to the work OF plac-
ing the lands Of the Piedmont section Of
Virginia IN the hands OF those, who. as
he puts il, know Gods country when

ness.

brought into daily use in the transaction

detail he clings 10 the old-time idea Of
