Reply to Esq. Crossno.
Editor of The Spectator

Editor of The Spectator
 Esq. CrossnO has sent an article to The Spectator in which he en- deavors to reply to my cOmmuni. cation. He says in the beginning of his effort that purported and attempted to explain, and in the last paragraph he says he makes this statement ito clear Esq. Er- wins record in the case" showing that my attempt succeeded.
 Let us see if his attempt clears his record. He claims that he did what l claimed he could do. al- lowed the prosecuting attorney to amend the complaint. So far so good. When about to proceed to trial the counsel for the defense asked that a constable be appoint ed to attend the court. Did Mir. Benson make affidavit that the Sheriff was disqualified? am told that he did not. If he did, and the Sheriff was disqualified. which l deny. then the Coroner of the county is the proper officer to serve the court; if there is no Cor oner. then any constable of the county can serve, according to section l463, that Squire Crossno quoted. That section gives him no authority whatever to appoint "a special deputy. Why Squire Crossno should deem the selection of . jury of good men a reason for disqualifying Sheriff Harman sur prises.
 give the officers attending my court all the time 1 can that he may select men well qualified to serve on a jury.
 remember the only time l served on a Jury Commission, the Judge suspended the business of Court to.give us instructions as to our duty and emphasized the inn. portance of selecting good men and part of our oath was not to select any man who was unfit and not qualified
 As to Mir. Harman once offer ing to appoint Mir. Law deputy. l cannot see what that had to do with the case. Mir. Law l suspect would make a good deputy sher- if.
 But did the defendants counsel want a jury? It is surmised by many that he did not. He seemed to be both judge and counsel. and intended to clear his client on technicalities, instead of trying him on the merits of the case.
 The prosecuting attorney did a wise thing in having the case dis missed before Squire CroSsnO. and having it taken to the Mayor $ court. J. w. ERWIN.

| When Solomon used the above pearl of wisdom he must have been thinking of himself about 8 lmonth after he had married his seven hundredth wife.

Tempermental American Women.


One of the fascinating things
about a typical American woman |,
her truly romatic temperament. She
is not a rule, sentimental for the
sake Of gambling in so called love as
a pastime. She loves attention (what
woman does not?) but she is not
prepared to pay for it in make be.
lieve currency, in soft glances, in
sugary notes, in sweet triflings
which are the beginning and end oil
the game. She does not respond
easily or quickly, but when she does
all of her feelings are engaged and
there is no turning back.
She is just such a woman as the
poets and the story writer's describe
for their livlihood Some of these
romatic writers would be disturbed
at meeting in the flesh a downright
and SINGERS an example of woman
hood, they would certainly meet
her in America.

Next to the ancient injunction,
"know myself" is the more modern
and almost as important one: know
your state the place where your
home is and whore your interests are
There is much that is worth know
ing, but that is unknown by every
individual, in every state in which
people make their abiding places.
Very often people from other states
ask questions, seeking information,
that every or any of us should be
able to answer. But are We? Do
We know with even a reasonable le-
gree of certainty and what section
of the state certain counties, towns
and cities are located, without CON
sulting the map? Do we know what
the general resources of those count
les are, what production is common
to them severally? These and many
other like questions can be answered
intelligently only when the one ques-
toned is intelligently informed.
Then, too, there are matters of
vast Importance to the proper de-
velopment of a state that must be
thoroughly understood and appreci-
ated in order that growth and
prosperity may come through in
telhgently directed effort. No state
or county can prosper unless its
people know and understand the
conditions prevailing, the resources
the raw material at hand. Infor-
nation along these lines helps to
know your state" helps to make
up the sum of knowledge which
should be possessed by everyone re-
garding hte main facts concerning
the state in which he resides.

A somewhat common way for peo-

Why Become Angry

Lincoln said the no man resolved
to make the most OF himself could
spare the time to quarrel or lndulse
in anger. He thought the consequ-
ences cost too much in the Vlslla-
ton of temper and loss of self con-
troll. II was his plan to yield larger
things to which he could show more
than equal right and to yield less
er ones that were clearly his own
When a man gets angry he DIS
counts his ability and judgment
heavily and he INDUCES in a folly
that later fills him with remorse
and anxiety. How the crowd admlres
the man who controls his temper,
when it is the natural and easy
thing for him to lose it. On railroad
trains, street cars, in restaurants
the conductor or brakeman or watt
er who handles himself we'll and
keeps his temper when some irrlt-
able passenger or customer in at
tempting to cause trouble unjustly
always wins the sympathy
What wear and tear to body and
mind we should save our ourselves
if we needed these two rules when
tempted to ''let go cut loose or
have it out.
If | am in the wrong, ! can't af-
ford to get angry.
If | am in the right, | don't need
to get angry.
The phrase, losing ones temper, is
after all a misnomer Why should
on worry about losing ones temper?
Why shouldn't one gladly lose it
for good?

Neutrality-suspicious. H. Taylor of
Philadelphia, who served as ma
tional army man overseas, told Sen
ate committee that he saw with his
own eyes II American soldiers hang
ed around Issur Tile, France, from
April to June, 1918, but was unable
to say whether any of them had been
convicted by courts-martlal.
One of the soldiers hanged, he de-
clared, was tried for assault on a
French girl by French court-martial
at which one American officer was
present. Taylor gave the name of the
soldier and said he was a sergeant
from Detroit, Mich, but the commit
tee later decided to omit the name
from it's records.
Witness Tells of Lynching.
Robert A. Harrison, of Wilmington,
N. c., testified that in 1917 he wit
messed the lynching in France Of a

who was charged with a crime against

Bethel Recalled to Stand.
Colonel Walter Bethel, General
Pershing's Judge advocate general in
France, recalled before the Senate
committee Investigating charges that
American soldiers were illegally hang
ed in France, declared that in time
of war court-martial death sentences
did not require approval of the Presi-
dent.
Questioned by Senator Watson,
Democrat, of Georgia, who laid
charges of illegal executions before
the Senate, Colonel Bethel said that
after war conditions had ended the
government directed that all SEN
fences be forwarded to Washington
for review.
Colonel Bethel denied it was his in
ference, as suggested by Senator
Watson, that executions were contin-
