the Jenneys. Take your choice. Chief
Jenney may have been entirely honest
in the transaction. perhaps Cornick
didn't offer 1925 as he says he did for a
horse that was sold for 500. 1t may
be that the old man and Cornick had
it all framed up as the Jenneys say.
Perhaps the horse wasn't worth more
than $75 and it was a good deal 10
sell it for s25 more. But at that and
granting all that the Jenneys urge in
self defense, the official who attempts
to avoid criticism" by the method
used in this transaction appears to
lack ordinary discretion. 1t is the more
noticeable when it is considered that
this was the chief of police. whose
knowledge of the construction the
public invariably puts upon suspicious
circumstances might be classed as ex-
pert and who ought to know better
than most men that the little shifts to
avoid suspicion" are hard to conceal
as the bigger things.
Chief Jenney does not come out of
it very well. Granting that he got the
moneys worth for the horse that
Cornick gave permission and that there
Wac no intent to defraud the city it was
such foolish boys trick to cover up
so cheap a deal in the way it was
done that however excellent his
motives may have been the chief will
lose face by reason of it. And beyond
that the suspicious public is always
hard to convince when one of its repre-
sentatives is accused under cir
cumstances which are hooks upon
which to hang suspicion.
So the story of the Des Moines horse
horse deal is a good one for officials
to read and ponder over The public
is as jealous of it's officials as an old
man is Of young wife.

THE BALKAN WAR IN AMERICA.

The war in the Balkans has been
transferred TO the United States. Bul-
garia is appealing to this country to
contribute money to the aid OF Bull
garians left destitute and homeless hy
the wars and with the appeal the
charge is made that the Greek army
was utterly inhuman and cruel.
SO the other day delega ton of
Greeks visited the editorial offices of
this newspa per demanding justice and
publicity. They brought with them a
copy Of the Atlantis Greek news
paper, and pointed TO charges OF the
most inhuman barbarism against the
Bulgars. One hundred and fifty thou
sand Mohammedan women and chill
dren shot, bayonered and butchered,
mutiation OF the dead and the various
crimes charged against a savage SOL
diery make up the category. The
Greeks bring history and racial char
acte-istics into their argument They
argue:
European civilization OF which Greece
herself was the mother Never in all
ner annals has she shown one evil
dence Of Tartar brutality. On the con-
trary. a nationa! spirit of force and
idealism, respect for the laws that
were even the expression of the as
pirations of the whole people have
from time immemorial been hers. Hel
armies fought against an army bar
baris in its methods-she fought be-
side an army even more inhuman-
yet she conducted her campaign &C
cording to the rules Of warfare laid
down by the nations of Europe. Is
her honor now TO be besmirched? Is
she to stand by and permit her racial
soul to be defled by calulnny? Shame
on those who would commit such in
justice. Could the members Of any ma
ton, save the cruel Tartar, have taken
as mis- nementoes and spoils Of war
portions Of his victims. dried in the
smoke Of their burning homes? Yet
this was the common habit Of the Bull
garian trooper.
Tha. atrocities were common and
that neither army was guiltless is the
natural conclusion. That great dea!
Of lying is being done regarding the
barbarity OF both there can be little
doubt It vas common report during
the civil war and among the more ex-
citable OF both sections that soldiers
Of both armies wore rings made from
the bones of slaughtered enemies and
tales OF inhuman cruelty were cur
rent. War is always inhuman. Nc
doubt in both Bulgar and Greek armies
were men who reverted to savagery.
1t is only fair that the Greeks should
have their opportunity Of denial. They
say, give, II you please to the destl-
tute Bulgars but only because they are
destitute, not thru the erroneous re-
port that the Greeks devastated anc

DOES GOD HATE a COWARD?
rD,,rI;,n.o co,o%@o


a pampered expression of some
frothy editorial purveyors is God
hates a coward" Where they get their
information is hard to tell. 1t sounds
wild and woody to say it. but it's not
true. Cod does not hate a coward. In
fact, as we have always been led to be-
ilieve God does not hate anybody. On
the contrary. He loves everybody. He
may feel sorry for a coward, but that
is perhaps as far as He goes. And the
curious thing about 1t is that God
knows who the towards are. It's rather
hard to get line on all the towards.
Some of the people we think are cow
ards may not look like towards In the
sight of God. Others whom we look
upon as models of physical valor. cap
tains courageous and all that sort OF
thing, may have a yellow streak as
wide as livery stable door. When 1t
comes right down to 1t there are many
phases Of courage. II you analyze the
human kind you are bound to find a
bit Of coWardice slowed away some
where. For instance, there is the man
who would fight anything that walks.
crawls or scars. He has his vulner-
able points and God knows Just where
they can be found. It's about time
they were slipping the expression.

card. It has been sadly overlooked.
