never saw him, and of whom he has
never heard.
Why this is no one can say. Great
achievement is always of benefit to the
race. The man who paints a great
picture, who writes a great novel, who
makes a great invention, contributes
to the happiness or to the prosperity
of all human kind.
Yet these are the very men singled
out by scandal for its work of destruc-
ton.
John Keats, one of the greatest of
poets, and the kindest, gentlest soul
who ever held pen, became sub
ject for villainous attack by the un-
successful scribblers of his time.
People Ungrateful.
Every schoolboy knows that Chris
topher Columbus, after the most pro
digious exploit in the history of the
world, became the victim of malicious
enemies. He was imprisoned on
trumped-up charges and robbed of all
the honors he had won.
And the powers who had trusted
him, and who had vastly profited by
his discoveries, were the first to be-
lieve the lies that were told about him.
Sir Walter Raleigh, one of the most
daring and courageous, as well as the
most intelligent of Englishmen, was
executed because baseless charges had
been brought against him-charges
which those in office were quick to
credit.
These are instances of the operation
of scandal many years ago, but are
little different from cases that occur
today.
Whoever becomes prominent be-
comes a target. Suspicion, like death.
loves a shining mark.
There is a percentage of rascality in
every collection of human beings, and
its power is out of all proportion to
its magnitude.
No man can lay a straight course
without interfering with others. And
those whom he interferes with are
usually those who are laying crooked
courses. They know it is useless to
fight honesty in the open, so they fight
it in the dark.
1t is hard to answer the tongue of
envy. 1t is almost impossible to free
the public mind of suspicion once
lodged there, however lacking in any
foundation that suspicion may be.
Unclean Weapon.
Scandal is an unclean weapon. Yet
there are many who never scruple to
use it if it happens to suit their pur-
pose.
You may build your house of reputa-
tion as carefully as you choose; you
may avoid sedulously all appearance
of wrong; you may mean to do right,
and you may succeed in doing right,
but somewhere and somehow you are
likely to find an enemy ready to stab
you with his unclean knife. and the
wound he will inflict will prove beyond
the power of any physician to heal.
AS we said at the beginning. our
theory is that a man is presumed to
be innocent until he is proved guilty.
Technically that is the practice of the
courts. But it is never the practice of
public opinion, and few are the iuries
who can withstand public opinion,
when it is once thoroly aroused.
1t is seldom that an innocent man is
sent to his death or even to prison on
unfounded charges.
But many is the time that a jury,
disagreeing as to verdict, leaves in
the minds of all who see or read, Of
the trial firm belief in the guilt of

TELEPHONE SET SHORTAGE
Managers Unable to Get Them from

A shortage of telephone sets due to

in such a way as to delay work locally

such condition may arise.

portable desk type telephones being
the most acute. This has more recent

Are You Extravagant? Take Warn.

Are you extravagant? Are your
expenses greater than your income! II
they are, what will become of you and
your loved ones in the future?
All of these questions are strikingly
answered in the great Metro-Popular
Plays and Players production, Eek
travagance," with Nine. Petrova as
the star, which will be seen here at the
Colonial Theatre on Monday, March s..
The play deals with a father and
his daughter who fetter themselves by
their own extravaganza. The father
commits forgery. The daughters suit

the maelstrom of financial ruin. From
beginning to end the play is a power
full lesson, and it is filled with dramatic
situations.
Probably no ether star could have
thrown into the part Of Norma Russell,
the daughter, more realism than has
Nine. Petrova, who held a high social
position in England and there was en-
abled to observe the extravaganza
of many titled folk. In America,
too, she encountered extravaganza
among society people. whose real
wealth probably could not be reckoned
in more than four figures. Yet these
social spendthrfts were struggling
desperately to maintain what they con-
sidered "a position of prominence"
among multi millionaires-Advt.

$4,000 AUTO TAX
Louie Evers, Treasurer, Will Receive
Crawford County's Portion Of the
State Auto Tax April list

\ Some time next week County Treas
urer Louie EverS will receive from the
state treasury in the ne;ghborhood OF
$14 900. which will be Crawford coun-
TVS share OF the state tax on automo-
biles which has been collected up to
date. Later another allotment will
conc to this county.
On April LIST the state treasury will
have about $1,l50,O00 in the antonio
bile fund for distribution among the
ninety-nine counties.
Tie fund now contains $1O50,OOO.
More than 100000 will be paid into
the department during the next few
days, as hundreds OF automobile own
crs will pay the fee at the last minute
to escape the penalty of 10 per cent
which applies after April list.
We understand that the automobile
department is not sending notice to
auto owners that auto fees will be de-
linquent after the close of this month.
All owners are expected to know the
law. officials say.
The fund fo- distribution this year
is not as large as was expected. The
persons who purchase new cars have
been paying fees promptly, but owners
of old cars have been slow to register.
There has been no change in number
plate OF 1915 and 1917 to induce car
owners to register promptly. &~
On April, 1916, the state distribut-
ed S1,157, 900. This amount remained
in the fund after 10 per cent had been
deducted as provided by law. There
are 1.646 townships in the state. The
distribution last spring was at the
rate OF SOB per township. This
spring it will be at the rate OF $500
per township. Crawford county with
its twenty townships would receive
$4,000 7es its share.

ings amounting to. 1929, 1892 so. Not
only are the total footings unusually
large, but the amount Of cash on hand
is ample and sufficient to meet all the
demands. This bank has been con.
stantly growing ever since it was
established, and now ranks among the
large banking institutions OF the
state.
The condition of this bank as we'll

much money in Crawford county at

and shows that fafinerst as we'll as all
other people in the county are enjoy
