ARE YOU USING YOUR CREDIT

This is a question that never foc- CUTS to countless people which is of vital importance. Big businesses could not continue for a month if they did not use credit. The war in Eur ope is splendid example of how necessary credit is.
 .fWhy is it then,'' say Caesar Misch, inc, 'sthat so many people disregard entirely one of the greatest assets, namely the ability to buy what they want when they want it and arrange for payments to be made at some fu- ture tiTne.?
 Cheerful credit is extended by this firm freely to people whether or not they are the possessors of a bank ac- count.

 T don't like the fellows 1ooks," vouched Christie to a friend who shar- ed the rear platform with him Once when the conductor went inside the car the occupant who was the sole passenger remarked why don't you fellows keep the cdr heated?
 For information of that descrip- tion I refer you to the superintendent was the conductors ready reply
 Well it's a shame remarked the other, that such a condition Of affairs should be tolerated in an intelligent community
 That ended the conversation and several passengers got on the car
 sNothing of interest occurred until the car reached Stratford when sev- era1 passengers notioned to get off Among those who alighted was the stranger, but Christie was to much occupied to notice the fact. About 10 minutes later, when he went into the car he glanced in the corner but saw no sign of his coat. He looked under the seat and elsewhere but discovered was searching one of the passengers no clue to it's whereabouts While he ascertaining his mission told him that the gentleman who sat in the corner took the coat. This was too much for Christie. At first he hardly believed it. but several of the passengers corr foborated the statement of the infor-z mant.
 Christie says it's 3. pretty tough deal when a man after putting up with insult and ca1umny, is robbed of his coat in broad daylight, ard in front of his very eyes. But he has a re- tentive memory and if he ever sets his eyes on the rascal again woe be unto him.

KENNEDY TELLS HIS NAME

The percentage of the chances that
 Frank Kennedy. the clever horse theft, will be free to ply his vocation again
 in many years grows beautifully less 1 Captain Arnold returned yesterday af- ternoon from his securing tour about Fairfield county, so heavily freighted with evidence against Kennedy that State prison will doubtless not be long, in claiming Kennedy as a victim Among his discoveries was the ve- hic1e taken from LaPofntess livery in Waterbury. This was in possession of Mrs. McGovern in Rowayton, who had bought of Kennedy for $75o. After the sale Kennedy asked the loan of Mrs. McGovern's carriage, which was readily granted. This he promptly sold to a farmer in the vicinity.
 Kennedy admitted this morning that he is the son of Thomas Hoben. a wealthy resident of WethersfieId. Kennedy had been stealing horses and carriages about these parts for the past two months or more and the DO lice have been unable to land him. Capt. George Arnold finally good the goods on him and it looks very much like Wethersfield for Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy told a Farmer reporter this morning that if he had done anything wrong he wished to be sent to prison. There are 8 great deal of others who wish likewise.

Adds Praise To Times For Editorial

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Allow me to thank you for the edi-

Howard University is the only school
or higher education in the country
where the negro may attend without
being confronted with race prejudice.

are so limited that 1t causes them to

All the Southern States provide one

In that section. Howard University &

The Southern States, by annual re-
ports and statistics, show that the

The Frank Case Evidence.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
James c. Waters. jr.. objects to the
participation Of the editorial page Of
The Times in the case Of the State Of
Georgia VS.. Leo Frank. because. for
sooth. in another department Of the
same paper there is given. as Mr..
Waters impliedly admits. an unbiased
statement Of the testimony adduced at
the court trial of the case. I am unable
to see wherein this course OF The
Times Is either unethical or immodest
or unwarranted.
The Times is to be commended for its
enterprise. zeal. and humanity In giving
the actual testimony in the Frank case,
and no less for Its courage to pronounce
a conclusion from that testimony. Few
readers have the time to read all Of the
testimony, and fewer still have the
equipment to do so.
Be 1t remembered that the present
case is that of Leo Frank. not that OF
Jim Conley. And the Frank case In
wolves more than the mere life Of a
single man; It involves one or more
basic points Of law. order. practice. and
jurisdiction that affect every inhabitant
of the land, even the rights Of Conley.
II Frank shall be indicated and Con-
ley. perchance. as an indirect conse-
quence, brought to the bar of justice
under the same charge, 1 believe The
Times will be equally solicitous and
active to see that the scales OF justice
shall weigh accurately. r. c. Z.

THE AUDITORS CASE

The Times will be permitted to
feel cheerful over the official an.
nouncement that the Supreme Court
of the District has ended the prac-
tice of paying its auditor in fees,
and placed him on a salary of $4,000
year. This newspaper has from
the beginning of the discussion in.
sisted that this official should not
be kept under the fat and archaic
fee system. 1t has said that the
system was demoralizing and has
pointed out that with few exceptions
it has been abandoned in State, coun-
ty, city, and national governments.
Public officials ought to work for, be
paid by, and be exclusively respon-
sible to, the public treasury. There
is no other right way.
The bench of the Supreme Cour,
sustains The Times position. 1t has
not waited for Congress to pass q
law requiring creation of the salary
basis, either. This is altogether to
the credit of the court. There was
no need that Congress should be
compelled to interfere in order to
effect so elemental a reform as this
Congress will think better of the
court for having the vision and ini-
tiative to do the thing that was
needed. and that it had plenty OF
power to do. Moreover, it keeps the
official more strictly and obviously
under the courts authority, gives
him less the appearance of an indie.
pendent figure, when his employment
and its terms are entirely in the dis.
cretion of the court. That is the re-
lation such an official ought to oc.
cupy to the court; and the courts
action insures that in future he will
OCCUPY it,

THIS MEANS YOU!

Have you that coin ready for Dis
trict Donation Week?
Today this commendable campaign
for Washington charities is launched
and only hermit can escape the
collection stations located at the
busiest points about the city. Even
those may contribute by mail if they
choose.
The success of this effort depends
principally upon the small contribu-
tors. To these Donation Week offers
a genuine opportunity, for many
who have not enough to warrant
sending contributions to organiza-
tions, can, without feeling it, drop
. coin into one of the scores of con-
tribution boxes placed all .over the
city.
The price of an afternoons amuse-
ment, of a cigar or two, of street
car ride, of any of the many luxuries
that swell the "cost of high living"
will mean much to Washington's
poor and needy who will be aided
through this fund.
The only Donation Week rule is
contribute" This means you, not
the other fellow.
