HAD PENcHANT FOR
ROBBING CHURCHES

NASHVILLE, TENN, March 49,
Church robberies that have mystified
Nashville police for a week were
cleared up recently by the confess
sion Of John Lightsinger. a tailor,
that he was the robber. He said that
during the week he had robbed eight
churches.
Among his booty was a piano, and
after he had sold it ~ a negro he had
to walk back two miles to the church
and steal the piano stool, because the
negro insisted it was part of the bar
gain.
He stole the baptism suit of Rev. C..
l.. Skinner twice, taking it the second
time after it's owner had recovered it
from a pawnshop.

PECULIAR AFFLICTION
OF PARIS GIRL

One of the most peculiar cases
of disordered optical nerves that has
come under the observation of local
physicians, was noted recently by
Paris optician. The afflicted one is
a pupil in the Paris High School, a
fourteen-year-old girl, named Joseph
inc English, daughter, Of John Eng
lish, of this city.
The girls vision is just exactly
the opposite to that of the ordinary
person, and was discovered by her
teacher when examining a lesson in
writing written by the child. In
writing her name or the words of a
lesson. the child begins at the right
side of the sheet and writes toward
the left, however commencing with
the first letter of each word. For ex-
ample, in writing her name or a num-
Der of words in a lesson it appears
as follows:
.hsilgnE enihpesoJ
.yawS
YAM
.yas
.yatS
To read the writing rapidly one
must hold it in front of mirror. The
girl writes a fairly good and legible
hand, and is as bright otherwise AS
the average school child of her years
A Paris ooulist says the popularity is
Icaused by the distortion of the optic
nerves in that they do not properly
cross each other in the line of vision
between the eye and the brain, and
that so far as he knows there is only
one other case mentioned in the med
ical records.

gress and out, that Republicans will
not do anything for partisan pur-
poses to embarrass the president dur
ing the differences with foreign coun-
tries. is absolutely true, but no more
true now than 1t has been at all
times since Wilson has been presi-
dent. Neither now not at any other
time have Republicans pursued any
course for mere partisan advantage.
However. Republicans have said
and done many things that have been
embarrassing to the president and
they will probably do so in the fu-
ture. Their course in this respect
has not been prompted by desire
to promote party advantage. but by
a, desire to promote the best inter-
ests OF the country. We advocate
certain things. not because they are
for party advantage. but because we
believe the welfare of the United
States requires the advocacy OF the
policies we support. We have criti-
cised many things the Democratic
party has done, not merely because
they were done by the Democratic
party, but because they were done
against the interests Of good govern
ment.
We have advocated a protective
tariff and denounced free trade, not
for partisan advantage. but for the
benefit OF all the people OF the United
States.
We embarrassed the president by
exposing his violation OF his pledge
to support the merit system in the
civil service. That exposure was
prompted not by partisan interest,
but by desire to conserve efficiency
in government service,
We have exposed and criticised
the appointment of totally incompe-
tent men in the consular and dip
lomatic service, and have criticised
such acts as the attempted promo
tion OF the presidents personal ply
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-02-27

stefan over the heads of ia superior
officers who are more entitled to con-
sideration than he. And all this has
been done. not for mere partisan ad-
vantage, but for the purpose OF at
tanning and maintaining higher
standards in public service.
Undoubtedly. Republicans caused
great embarrassment to President
Wilson by insisting upon the leak"
investigation, which disclosed the
fact that certain spectators obtained
advance information regarding the
character OF the presidents peace
note through the brokerage firm
Of which the presidents brother-in-
law was then a member. We are
sorry that this was embarrassing to
the president, and that 1t occurred
during a time when our diplomatic
relations with other countries are
stained, but we believe It would be
disastrous to the interests of good
government II such things were to
be CLOSED over or disregarded just
because we have foreign complica-
tons.
A multitude of other subjects that
have been discussed in the past and
that probably will be discussed in the
future might be enumerated, show
ing that although many things have
been embarrassing to the president
because discreditable to his admins
tration, yet they have been subjects
upon which patriotic American citi-
zens could not DO silent without be-
ing derelict in their duty.
Those persons who grow profuse
in their protestations that all Re-
publicans will be "loyal to the presi-
dent" are not judicious in their
choice OF words. The loyalty OF both
Republicans and Democrats is to the
government OF the United States and
its institutions. We owe no greater
obligations OF loyalty than does the
presidon; himself. The president is
