DR.. BEST'S HORSE
DROWNED IN LAKE

DR.. A. L. Best had a very
narrow escape from being
drowned Friday morning, when
his horse became frightened
and backed off the causeway
into the lake at Newport. DR..
Best, in attempting to rescue
the horse, became numbed from
the icy water and lost con-
seriousness, and but for the aid
of several men working on the
eauseway and vicinity, would
have persisted. He was pulled
out and carried home, where he
soon recovered from his expert
enee. The Eorse was drowned.

Easter This Year
Is Unusually Late

Easter this year is one ofthe
latest in many years. 1t is one
of six Casters which come as
late in theycar during the nine
teenth and twentieth centuries.
The date is April %, three
weeks later than it was in 1915.
In looking over the calendar
for the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries it is seen that Easter
fell on April % in 1848 and
1905. 1t will happen again on
that same date in theyear20O0.
In 1859 the date for Easter
Sunday was April %, and in
1886 it was April rs. twill not
fall on that date again until
1913, which is the latest date
ever known for the festal day.
The earliest date on which
the Christian festal day was ev-
er celebrated was March %,
1878, and March % in 1913.
Last year the date was April
a, and next year it will be April
8.
The moon determines the
date of the festal day, being
the first Sunday after full moon
on or after the vernal equinox,
March 21.If the full moon is on
Sunday it is one week later, and
this year the full moon is on
April Is, Tuesday, with Easter
the following Sunday.

Judge Coleman is
Good Investment

mean little OF much, depending
upon whether or not they are
ldeserved-merited.It is not diff
ficult to find good words to say
of anyone, for none but have
their good points. We are prone
to say that this or that man, a
candidate, perhaps, since they
are plentiful at this time-is
"eminently fitted, qualified for
this or that office, is honest, "
etc. etc, when as a matter of
fact we do not know whether
he is or not. But it is easy to
say, and the customary thing
to say, of the candidate who
makes his announcement, and
in a measure it may be true.
Rarely indeed does a candidate
feel and believe he is not com
petent to discharge the duties
of any office he seeks to fill,
often his confidence is founded
upon his utter lack of know
ledge of the intricacies Of the
many duties of that office. All
he knows about it has been ga
thered from the outside. His
knowledge superficial. If elect
ed he must be instructed,
taught. Somebody must pay for
that instruction. Usually the
taxpayer foots the bill.
Take the matter of the cir
cult court of this strict:There
are two excellent young men
before the people. Both of them
able, clean and upright. One of
them has in a brief term as
Judge proved his worth. He has
saved to the people of the dis
trict fully as much, probably
more, than ne has cost them.In
other words he has served for
nothing and left the people a
profit. If this is true, and the
court records of every county
| is the district seem to bear out
the statement, then Judge Cole
man has been a good invest
ment.
Dene H. Coleman Was=ap-
pointed to the position of cir
cult Judge. A chain of FORUM
ate circumstances placed him
there. Fortunate for the people
of the districtand fortunate for
Mr.. Coleman as it saved them
much money and gave him an
opportunity to demonstrate his
ability. He is now a candidate
for the first time for the office
he holds. He is a native Of IN
dependence county-born in
Batesville; has practiced law
16 years; has been connected
with some of the most import
ant cases evcrtried in the coun-
lty during that time; eleven
years ago he was elected re-
preventative and lead the ticket
! followed by six strong oppon-
ents; served Batesville as may
or, being elected over three OPP
lponents and received 16 more
votes than all of them his home
Ipeople are strong for him; has
acted as special Judge in sever
al instances, and as actual
judge there are none who will
deny him the credit he deserves.
On the bench Judge Coleman
stands for strict enforcement Of
the law, brooks no dilly-dalIy-
| ing, or useless and expensive
delay, but is never hasty; deli
beration, fairness and absolute
impartiality characterize his Of
fetal acts. That man who asks
for, but does not want justice
had best keep his case out Of
lColeman's court.
Off the bench Judge Cole
man at once becomes plain
Dene Coleman, the friend of ev-
cry man, woman and child.
