A BIT OF SARCASM

The following bit of sarcasm now
going the rounds of the press is at

What we need in every communi-

other peoples business. The other
people are too careless of their busi-
ness, and overlook too many points
Besides, they don't know anything
about their own business affairs

THE CONSTITUTED
AUTHORITIES

The Spartanburg Journal, COM
n,enting on the conviction of Senator
Newberry, at Grand Rapids, last
week. says that the Senator Will
likely appeal and that he will make
all manner of efforts to obstruct JUS
tice. We do not suppose that the
Journal means to intimate that the
taking of an appeal by the Senator
is one of the means OF obstructlng
Justice, though in some quarters 1t IS
common to refer to the orderly pro-
cess of the courts in entertaining ap-
meals as a means of obstructing JUS
tice. Seemingly, and presumptlvely
now, Senator Newberry has been
guilty of a violation of the laws ap-
plicable to the spending of money
for carrying elections, but those who
charge gail: i, this and all other
cases should be content to have final
determination of that guilt establish
ed according to the rules of law as
declared by the supreme tribunal of
the land established by the constitu-
ton for that purpose. This court has
the power and duty of constituting
the law under which Senator New
berry has bee ntried and the intclpre-
tations put on the act by the trial
Judge. under the constitution, must
be reviewed by it.
There is no doubt great harm Is
coming to the country by the use of
money in election contests and the
evil is growing, and the act in this
case was intended 10 prevent ana
should serve ;hc purpose cf prevent
ing ;lle use of money for ~uch pur-
pose. BIT scarcely less harm is being
6orc these lays by those who criti-
else 4 man for resorting to the
courts fer the determination Of his
r;gh>>s, anL the man who is always
cri.i2ising the courts for delays and
alleged injustice. The Spartanburg
Journal has Rad some commemorate
articles recently on the necessity for
obedience to, and respect for the
constituted authorities in the Glenn
son trouble. The courts are the au-
thorities to pass on the legality OF
the conviction of Senator Newberry
and nobody should desire to see him
punished until the courts declare that
he has been legally convicted. The
courts need the continued support Of
all good citizens in the declaration of
the law.

dream and Woden's visit to the land
Of night and the plan to save Baldur.
Come! Promise!' said the messen-
ger. "All the world is promising"

toe. And he didn't. in spite Of all
the messenger could say.
But who cared? What could any

the fact that all the world had prom

And the rejoicing was great. And
when the rejoicing was at its height
the gods, just for a lark, began to

have! One would throw rock. an
other a spear, another a ball Of fire,
and two or three getting together
would hurl whole tree trunk; but
as soon as anything drew near him,
it leaped to one side or the other.

wasn't that wonderful?
One day, as the young gods were
shouting over the way they couldn't
hit him. an old woman. seeing Frigga
at her spinning wheel, asked what the

"Oh," answered Frigga, proudly,

custom among the gods. Then came
Mamma, his wife. to see him for the

they lay upon the great ship as 1t

the sun is going down, you yourself
may see Baldur's ship still burning in

But all nature refused to be COM

Hela restored Baldur to life at Easter
time so that sunshine came back to
the world.
Moreover. to put the mistletoe on its
good behavior the gods decreed that
forever and forever it should be Frig-

stand for friendship and love.
But that Loki might never have
anything to do with the mistletoe. the
gods declared that it must never come

Refrigerator Trucks.

Tractor trailers" which are really trucks
with refrigerating systems are said by the
Highway magazine to have averted the danger
OF famine from the cities near Chicago during
the switchmens strike.
Conveys of from eight to twelve motor
trucks, many Of them with these trailers, wen:
out every day to the industrial cities of
Waukegan, Aurora, Elgin and Gary. Each of
the trailers holds $4,000 pounds of fresh meat,
which is kept at temperature Of IS degrees
during the hauls. The construction of the cars
is described thus:
They are As feet long. II feet inches high,
z feet 6 inches wide. A cork lining serves to
keep the contents at an even temperature. All
meats are suspended from the ceiling of the
body as in standard railroad refrigerator cars.
Each trailer is demountable from the fifth
wheel Of the tractor, and can be detached by
two men in three minutes, through the use OF
two strong jacks fixed to each trailer body"
The railroad system Of the country has
broken down under its load because the load is
entirely too great for the present railroads tc
bear. Their capacity needs to be almost
doubled. Trucks will have to do large share
,of relieving the railroads Of their burden

Praise for Public Men.
(Terre Haute starr.

Franklin X. Lane, former secretary Of the
interior, in recent address to college stu
dents, called attention to the fact that little
men when they do fine and useful things.
though there is no lack OF fault finding over
their shortcomings Mr.. Lane suggested that
the lack could be remedied by the formation Of
a league Of appreciation, whose duty should be
to take note Of the services Of the nonspectac-
ular, steadyminded men Of vision in public
service who push of with one hand the cor
rupting forces that attempt to sway their Of
fetal action by bribes given to their vanity
draw toward them those who plan purpose
fully and practically for Improvement"
Having observed the work Of such men.
many OF whom are pursuing their quiet up
right way in Official life, we should show to
them our approval. The forces of maleyolence.
the destructive forces, have their agencies con-
stantly at work. They insinuate and they in
timidate- Why should not the constructive
forces be equally alert and assert themselves
In the promotion of honesty and courage in
our public men, asks Mr.. Lane.
It is sympathetic suggestion which the
, former secretary makes Undoubtedly it is an
unpleasant fact that the American people are
more ready to find fault with the men who
conduct their government than they are. to see
their merits or to recognize their commendable
acts. In the patrolman of their beat on up tc
| to the occupant Of the White house they are
quick to detect flaws and are blind to their
helpful services, never guessing that all along
the line are men who are hungry for little
appreciation-men who do not find self-approv-
al enough and whose money compensation does
not supply all human needs.
1t is human nature, of course, to criticise
rather than to praise and the want of appre
citation for good work is not confined to public
life. but is found in all departments OF life
1t Is not an admirable trait and should BIZ
overcome The suggestion by Mr.. Lane tina,
for public purposes society of appreciation
should be formed was probably not meant te
be serious. Such thing would not do, o.
course, for Official praise would become per
functory and not valued by its recipient. A
better way is the general cultivation by indi
viduals Of spirit Of appreciation and a habi
OF expressing approval where it seems due
both in private and public life When SINGER,
and not fulsome. praise is usually welcome
