Comment on Frank Case

duty as citizen of the United
States, and one who is not I'M
known to the good people of At
lanta, to say that your editorial
reflects the sober second thought
of every loyal citizen of the coun-
try. 1t is calm, dignified, Judicial
and manly, and should be needed
by those who believe in law and
order. The only safety the in
dividual can have, no matter what
his nationality or creed or color,
is to be treated fairly and square
ly, and to allow no prejudice to
interfere with the decent admin
istration of law, From time I'M
memorial it has been conceded as
an axiom that all reasonable
doubt must be given to the &C.
cused when charged with murder,
and in the case of Frank there
can no longer be any question
but that that reasonable doubt
was denied him, and that the
spirit that pervaded the court
room during the trial was any
thing but orderly or civilized. 1t
goes without saying that I take
the same view that you do. It
is not the individual after all that
is on trial-its American citizen
ship, Christianity stripped Of It's
sectarianism. and therefore it be
hooves every man and woman, no
less, to cooperate in securing ful.
justice for the prisoner at the bar,
and if convicted beyond a doubt,
full punishment should be meted
out, but not otherwise. Again
sincerely thank you for the manly
stand you have taken in this case
Very truly yours,

is dealing, then no fault can be
found If expectations are disap-
pointed. But those are not the
terms in which engagements are
usually made.
You make contract with your
tailor. He says, 81 will deliver
the article on or before such
day." No conditions attached. No
indefiniteness in the terms of the
engagement. Very likely he does
not know whether he will be able
to keep the engagement OF not,
but that in most cases makes no
difference with the terms in which
the stipulation is made.
He wants the job and hangs
you up till he gets along far
enough with someone's else Job
to what he is doing for you.
We can perfectly well under
stand how it all comes about, but
there is just crook enough in II
to prevent its being straight. For
tailor you can substitute grocer
or painter or plumber, or almost
any service of that character.
1t is not what can exactly be
called an outrageous lie, but it
has got the genius of lie in it.
1t is careless handling of the
truth. If 1t is not a deliberate
intention to deceive, it is care
less indifference as to whether or
not deception is going to be the
result.
This loose habit of making def
mite promises that are uncertain
of fulf1llment can easily be broken
up by saying to your plumber, for
instance:
you have definitely promised
to come and do the job at such a
time. Now, having made this def
mite promise. if you do not come
at that time I shall be displeased
and shall give my next job TO an
other plumber
That will both brace up his in.
tegrity and secure prompt service.

TIME line of honesty is an ex-
ceedingly straight one. 1t
sometimes gets badly
crooked in the use, but is by ma
ture rectilinear and is the short
est path between duty and per-
Torrance. Small dishonesties are
of the same nature as big ones,
and by cultivation easily grow
into big ones.
There is no halfway between
straight and crooked, and if we
do not begin by being dishonest
in small thing there is no dan
ger of our graduating into a
large scale deceiver or swindler.
All of that is very simple and
old fashioned.
Much is said about the new
morality, the new thought, the
new art, the new religion, and so
forth, but the old is pretty good.
1t has stood the racket for a good
while, and we had better stand
by it and. not fling ourselves away
on fancy innovations till we are
quite sure that they will make as
good a show in the working as
what we received from our ia
theirs and grandfathers.
There are forms of inconspicu-
GUS dishonesty worth mention.
which are so frequent as to be
almost respectable, but which
loosen the joints of character and
occ8 sion no end of annoyance
and some times even distress.
One is that of engaging to do a
given thing at q specific time and
then falling to do it at the time
promised, and postponing it to a
later hour or day, or even not do
ing it at all.
When a promise of that kind is
made conditionally with no posi-
tive assurance attached to 1t, and
with only the understanding on
the part of the one making it that
he will do his best to meet the
wishes of the party with whom he

UNCLESAM WILLING
TO TAKE D|TCHES
Not Too Late For High Line to
Furnish Water to Existing
Districts.

That the government is still will
ing to deal with the irrigation dis
tricts, II negotiations are taken up
at once. is the opinion of ID. w.
Aupperle, secretary of the Grand Val
ley Water Users Association, says the
Success.
This matter must be taken up with
out dcl.y. however, according to Mr.
Aupperle, and before the reclamation
service begins work on the last tun-
mel, which is the longest of the three
bores made through the mountains
above Palisa1o.
81 was greatly interested in the
Success suggestion regarding the
high line. and the argument for CO.
operation with the government" said
Mr.. Aupperle.
"The government made several
propositions to the Palisade and the
Mesa County Irrigation districts re-
garding the use of water from the
High Line canal. but none were sat
isfactory. IL was claimed that the
charge that the reclamation service
proposed to make was higher than
the present cost to the districts, and
suggested that the irrigation dis
tricts make n counter proposition. or
that a showing be made as to the
present actual cost of water service"
"of course, neither the Water
Users Association nor the govern
ment would expect the ranchers to
make an agreement which would be
more expensive than their present
service, and l feel confident that If
the districts open negotiations at
once, there is still time to come
into the Grand valley project. The
negotiations were broken off by the
ditch districts, and should be renewed
by them.
81 am positive that the govern
ment can furnish water at less cost
than the ranchers are now paying.
and they will be assured of good
service while at the same time they
will eliminate much of the seepage
danger by reducing the number of
the canals.
There is also another point to be
considered-the fact that in case an
agreement can be reached with the
districts there will be a big power
plant near Palisade which would
furnish cheap power and light to the
ranchers.''
