to your request beg to say:
It is true Mr.. Morris has repre-
scented almost all Of the persons who
have been charged with violating the
prohibition laws. both before the sew
eral justices and the criminal court.
and is very often referred to as the
special counsel OF the liquor interests
and the ''bootleggers" in particular.
Since he was nominated for prose-
cutting attorney he has aided and as
sisted those charged with selling IL
uuor in other ways than acting as
their attorney. for instance in August
last John Smith was charged with
selling intoxicating liquors and after
an examination OF the charge before
Squire Nicewarner he was held TO
answer an Indictment by the grand
fury and required to give bond and
Mr.. Morris went on his bond which Is
now on file in the clerks office and
many persons think he has done all
he could to encourage and protect the
sale of liquor contrary to the law and
the liquor people are returning the
favor by hearty support OF his can
didacy and bitter opposition to Mr..
Findley.
You VIII remember that We ulu uNe
get rid OF the saloons for eighteen
months after Mr.. Flndley became
prosecuting attorney. during which
time there was more crime commit
ted and more arrests and trials than
in any like period in the history OF
the county. and Mr.. Findley had to
incur a good deal OF costs in prose-
cutting these crimes and misdemean-
ors. Most of these were convicted
and fined in the aggregate SlS,262
and OF these fines he has collected
over $4,000 in money and good part
of the balance has been worked out
on the roads.
Mr.. Morris was prosecuting attor-
ney between January. 1909, and Sep
TENDER. 1912. and the records show
there were 143 confessions and he
tried 2S4 cases before a jury OF
which number 2O1 were convicted
and SO acquitted.
Mr.. Findley succeeded him IN Of
fee and between January. 1913, and
September. 1916. the records show
there were 131 confessions and he
tried 800 cases before a jury OF

"sPENDERn HELD AS THIEF


 How Edward p. Kinney. who is charged with the larceny of more than $22,00o from New York firm, spent thousands of dollars in the entertainment of Bostou friends. with an oriental dinner and in other ways, was told by man who saw much of Kinney while he was. in this city.
 The story of the Persian dinner that was given by Kinney one day last winter at the Hotel Lenox to a group of dozen friends, reads like "a page torn from the Arabian Nights.
 The entire United States was searched for gastronomic novelties by the hotel management, while all the available tall ent for stag dinners in Boston was se- cured and more was brought over from New York.
 The price fixed by the hotel for the dinner was $100 per plate, but the final check presented for payment called for $20O more for extra expenses, making a total of $1400. The total expense for the dinner for 12 men could not have been far from $250O.
 The next day Kinney called at tht hotel to settle his bill for the dinner and when 1t was handed him he gave his check as unconcernedly as though he wal paying for q lunch in an arm chail hashery.

TRIBUTE TO DAVIS

From Richard Harding Davis and the
 Rough Riders," by Colonel Roosevelt,
 in the July Scribner
 I knew Richard Harding Davis for many years. and I was among the num- Der who were immediately drawn to him by the power and originality of '.Galle- gher," the story which first made his reputation.
 My intimate association with him, how ever, was while he was with my regiment in Cuba. He joined us immediately after landing, and was not merely present at but took part in the fighting For exam pie, at the Guasimas fight it was he. I think. with his field glasses, who first placed the trench from which the Span iards were firing at the right wing of the regiment, which right wing I, at that time, commanded. We were then able to make out the trench, opened fire on it, and drove out the Spaniards
 He was indomitably cheerful under hardships and difficulties and entirely in- different to his own personal safety or comfort. He so won the esteem and re- gard of the regiment that he was one of the three men we made honorary members of the regiments association We gave him the same medal worn by our own members.
 He was as good an American as ever lived, and his heart famed against cru city and injustice. His writings form a textbook of Americanism which all our people would do well to read at the pres- ent time.

Termier quotes portion of Plato's dialog in which an ancient Egyptian priest tells of an invasion of Athens by an army from a continent larger than Libya, or even Asia," and lying west of the Pillars of Hercules. The invasion was stopped and thrown back. Later, with great earthquakes and inundations in a single day and one fatal night all who had been warriors against Athens were swallowed up and the Island of At lantis disappeared beneath the sea-" M, Termier says that the account by Plato has "an eXactness almost scientific
 The French writer brings many geolog- ical facts and facts of natural history to support his claim, and reopens a sub Ject which concerns one of the greatest mysteries of the past. M.

It is not comfortable thought for the layman, but it possesse tremendous appeal to the scientific mind.

gulf ports is large factor in the falling off of our production.
 Recently the interstate commerce com mission has handed down a decision giv- ing us favorable adjustment of rates to Mississippi valley points east of the Mississippi river. We can expect event. ually to increase our business in that territory, but it cannot be done at once, and it will probably be a year or more before we really feel the benefits due us under this adjustment.
 With the over production existing in this district today, I do not believe the commercial operators can expect a profitable or normal business until there is general revival of business in all lines, which we probably will not see until after the close of the European war"
