"A Sermon In Rhine"

We come now to that time of year
when a lot of men get to town again
after absences more or less prolonged.
Harvested crops must be sold, fall buy
ing has to be attended to, various con-
there are circuses. political meetings,
college openings and dozens of other
occasions for that trip Sometimes it
results in a fall. and the city news
paper composing rooms usually have a
standard headline all set up and wait
ing: underworld Gets His Money
Seems as if it were used too often. If
a cynical philosopher wanted any proof
of the eternal hopefulness of our hu-
man nature. he might find it in this
persistence of the come-ons belief that
he is the one who can meet the city
sharks in their own waters and get
away without losing a leg. One Don
Marquis, who writes (sometimes in the
spirit of Eugene Field for the New
York Evening Sun, has told the age
old story in these sprightly lines:
Vice parts the yokel from his wad,
The wastrel from his soul
They always got his roll.
When Jason from the rowdy West
Came back to buy in Greece
They put some gumdrops in his booze
And pinched the Golden Fleece
The old Falernian they poured
On circus days in Rome
Shook filings from the neatherd's
teeth
And then they shipped him home.
Giles still aspires to beat the game,
Still thinks his failures odd
When Hezekiah went to Gath
They always got his wad.
And they always will What's the
answer Weekly.

MAYOR DIFFERS
WITH SHERIFF
IN GRAY CASE
Rose Won't Suspend WahiaWa
Police Officer Charged
With Grating

Mayor Lane is seeking advice as TO
the legal status of Jesse Gray, the Wa
hiawa police officer charged with &C.
cepting bride from chefa gamblers.
Il believe he stands suspended by the
action of the commission in accepting
the charges until his guilt or inno-
cence is conelusively proved says
the mayor. l.-...s~ s..-~-. H.
IF he is proved innocent he will go
back on his beat without the loss of a
cent of his pay. Now he stands under
a cloud-it isn't known whether he is
guilty or innocent. He should not be
on duty, to my mind. If there is any
way that he can be relieved, I'll see
that he is. - H.. r. r.. 49,.
Mayor Lane held conference with
the sheriff yesterday on the situation
and stated his views to him, but the
police department head declared that
in his opinion Gray was an innocent
man and he would not suspend him.

ney, is busy acquainting himself with
the details of the case against Gray, as

to prosecute him. A.. NJ. Brown, city

w. H. Briggs against the Georgia
Carolina Power company. After

structed across the Savannah river
by the defendant company. While
the impounded water does not touch
his property, he alleges that santa

as to produce sickness, causing suf.
fering among his family and driv.
ing tenants from his farm. He al.
leges also that the value of his land
has been seriously affected by the
conditions resulting from the i'm.
pounded water. 1t furnishes breed.
