DIARY OF FATHER TIME
There is always demand for eff
cient men. The ancient Greeks rea-
Iized this, for, while choosing their
judges from the wisest and most re-
spectacle of the citizens, they held
their courts in the open air, upon an
eminence in the middle of the city,
and determined all cases during the
night. Their reasons for doing this
were that neither the number nor the
faces of the judges being known,
there would be no attempts to cor
rupt them; and that, as they saw
neither the plaintiff nor defendant,
their decisions might be quite i'm
partial.

CHARGE AND COUNTER CHARGE
BATTLE AT COUNTY BOARD

BAL LIE Al COON bOHkD
Charges and counter charges chas-
ed each other all over the room at
yesterdays meeting of the County
Board. III feeling was caused by the
vote of President Mccormick to deny
an appropriation of ST, PSI for the
states attorneys office.
Bartzen charged Coonley with be-
ing a taxdodger, Board was called
a hypocrite, and Assistant States At
torney Case was branded by Commits
sioner Board as "a first-class repre-
sentative of States Attorney Hoyne's
Office" evidently some new form of
crime.
A pleasant time was had by all.
The fight started when the finance
committee asked the appropriation
for Hoyne, who had exceeded his last
years allowance. A committee from
the bar association had reported that
the states attorneys Office was prop
erly conducted, and it was under
stood that both sides were to be
bound by that finding.
President McCormick's declined to
accept the findings OF the lawyers.
His late experiences with lawyers
have been unpleasant.
Commissioner Mitchell voted with
the majority, giving them nine votes.
McCormick's name was called, and
he voted no" 1t required ten votes
to expend the money.
The report of the finance commit
tee was referred back to committee,
together with recommendation that
the county accept $333;60S interest
on county money, held by County
Treasurer O'ConneIL Some of the
Progressives thought the interest
should be larger.
Because of the obstructive tactics
the board was unable to do business.
