SCHOOL SUPT. R. c. SMITH
makes ATTACK ON JUDGE SAPP

In its issue Of Feb. 4th The Snowflake Herald of which
r. c. Smith County Superintendent OF Schools is publisher
makes allegations by sigaation innuendo that reflect
seriously on the integrity Of Judge Sapp Hobrook
Without prejudice or tas in the and without knovl-
edge OF the actual motive which inspired the article we deem
it incumbent upon respec8 OF fair play and Justice be
all and especially oa. dealings with the iudjci
a to make comment what be considered coward
and unWaanted ASSAULT npm the character Of of our
respected judges
As basis of his charges Deacon Smith cites the action
OF one Will Wooster of Holbrool fling statement with j. E.
Crosby showing &a the county had paid So 29633 to the
Holbrook News Publishing Co. since April End 1912 for
printing and supplies with the request that the County At
0fney Ong SUIT Tor the recovery of the money with
cent damages We have personal acquaintance with this
man Wooster but familiar with his name as plaintiff
or defendant IN court actions from which would infer that
he considers not0ey acceptable where enown is impossbe
OF accomplishment This Wooster that con
sered that there had been unnecessary expenditure of
money by the county for printing and supplies the
expended during the last two years unusually large
VITA this statement from chronic troubiemaker as
foundation County School Superintendent expatiates on
the subject and We do whether the mane,
veng for county funds by Judge Sapp and his activity IN THE
CoMMERCALzAToN of his official power will serve to com
mand such deep reverence his court Quoting further
Indeed occasions when Mr. Wooster appeared in his
(udge Sapps court it doubtful whether he saw any life
size replica Of the divine Goddess of Justice Our opinion
would be that Woosers failure divine Goddess Of
Justice in fe-sze any other size would be due to his
being the losing side Of the which he has been
party.
AS we understand it, county expenditures purposes
matter of record to Which any citizen has access The
Board of Supervisors is the body clothed with authority to
make expenditures and audit bills No complaint has been
heard from them which would support the allegations
OF Smith and Wooster Our County Superintendent of Schools
evidently preferred to vent his feelings against Judge
Sapp by charges which, he is able prove are nac
lous and beus and if the Honorable Judge Sapp not
demand an accounting in the will be due to his GOOD
Of heart and charity in dealing with calumnators
liz Win8loW, at least know that Judge SapD's inep
rity unQuestoned We regret inability 10 include all
the county officers in this commendaon His administration
OF the high office to which he elected has shown him to
be honest conscientious and fearless DISCHARGE of his
duty He not be in favor with the element that Deacon
Smith represents which fact if is SUCH would
spect for him outside Of the SnoWakeTayor district
Ii the Superintendent of Schools has proper apprecia
ton of his responsibilities in the education and moral training
of the children in Navajo County he prove accuracy
OF his charges If he fails in that ne a subject for recall
