And This Is Justice!-Down in Or
angcburg last week jury convicted
bank officer of holding up the institu-
ton for big money contrary to law,
and to the financial interests of inno-
cent people. The judge sentenced him
to six months on the chaingang, said
sentence TO be suspended during good
bchavior-that is, probably, till he gets
. whack at another bank. He was
white, and the offcnse involved, was
for thousands. Before the seats of the
jurors were cold Il second panel also
convicted a "cOon" for stealing less
than n hundred and the same judge
promptly gave him a term o. three
years on the gang. That is doing bus
mess through the legally established
ing equal justice to all and special
privileges to none. We have some
good and painful reasons for believing
that, in proportion to numbers more
rascality, in banks, goes unwhipped of
Justice than that of killing in our
bloody commonwealth. Why should
big thieves, with n lust for money
hesitate to plunder a bank when they
know that they are, and will be. inn
mune in our temples Of JUSTICE

The Road Hog.

given the opportunity to reed 1t:
What is a road hog? a road hog is
a driver Of an automobile who uses
both sides and the middle Of the pub
lie highway in which to travel from
place to place. His manners are bad
and his regard for the rights of others
is poor. He is hard to fatten and
would make a mighty poor quality OF
pork, il he were sent out to the pack
ing house. He lives and moves and
has his being the same as other hogs,
but he refuses to even grunt when you
drive into a ditch and give him the
entire road. He is a dangerous ami
NAL for he is calculated to hurt some
one or kill his fool self. But what's
the use Of talking about road hogs?
Why not elevate our minds with more
desirable subjects such as hook-worm
small pox, flu,' cabbage snakes and
boil weevils?"

Value of WeeviI Poisoning.


ITO show you that calcium arsenate
poisoning of the boil weevil has been
worth while in York county where it
has been intelligently applied this year,

D. Reid and w. Hall Spencer, good
farmers of Catawba township" said
John r. Blair, county farm demon
stration agent the other morning. zone
of these farmers applied calcium ar
senate on his crop four times during
the year and the otner made five appli-
cations. Each of them is getting bale
Of cotton to the acre off the cotton
that was treated and it is hardly like
ly that any section Of the county has
been harder hit by the weevil this year
than the Catawba Junction section in
which Mr.. Spencer lives. There are
other farmers living near him who will
not make nearly so much cotton
Asked his guess relative to the
amount of cotton that will be ginned in
York county this year, Mr.. Blair said:
81 estimate that we will make around
$4,000 bales in the county. / do not
believe that we will make as much as
$4,000 bales; but Of course the gin

Discussed Genius.

fame were recently informed that for
their years competition for the Prix
de Rome they could submit either "a
Nude Boy" or a "Prometheus."
These themes seemed rather hack

for some less bansi test Of their pow

decision Of the authorities by himsel

WON OVER ALL HANDIcAPs
tiles That Would Have Dauntsd
Big Majority Of Mankind

The belated dedication of a monu-
ment to Dr.. Elisha Kent Kane, once
q famous Arctic explorer. Is q re-
minder Of an achievement quite as
remarkable as anything that Kane
did TO add to the sum of knowi-
edge of the polar regions. This
was his mastery of physical handicaps
which would have daunted ninety
nine men In a hundred. He was
physically SO fraiI that he was un-
able to complete his studies at col
lege; he completed his medical edu-
cation at home. became a surgeon In
the navy, and while physician of the
American legation at Picking began
his career as an explorer which
marked him for fame. It Is less
known than 1t ought to be that his
polar researches. important though
they were. constituted only 4 small
part Of his work. He succeeded In
descending into the crater Of the Taal
volcano though several able-bodied
a~dventurers had failed; he fought
Bedouins In EgyEt; he crossed the
island Of Luzon on foot, and he made
an early study of Alpine glaciers in
Switzerland. All this and more he
accomplished before he died at the
age of thirty-seven, sustained always
by unfaltering pluck and by deter
mination such as few men possess.

Greetings

aH4- N.lMrE
Why do we make special holidays of Christmas and the
beginning of the new year? Why do we greet these days
with such clamor and exultation?
Because as far back as records or legends run, nina has
always done so.
From the earliest recorded celebration we find notice of
feasting and exchanging of gifts and visits Today do we
vision any difference in the manner of celebrating these
occasions? No, it goes on pretty much as of old, except
that IT'D ecomes a little more important and more widely
kept.
There is a mysticism about it bound up with the myster-
les of time and space, and, like the savage Authoritarian,
we feel the mystery, and like them we beat the tom-toms,
ring the bells and go thru other rites as if to forfend
against or appease the spirits which rule over us.
Another Christmas has come. Another year will soon
begin and the tickle world will start in pursuit of another
flame. And we might add, that father time will not erase
the mark esach of us has made during the year just closing.
In keeping with the spirit of the times, The Cody
Enterprise sends this word to you who have helped in our
business success during the past twelve month; to you who
have given us that most priceless thing-Your Good Will
May your Christmas time be happy and may the New
Year be filled with golden opportunity and success.

u. S. BLAMED FOR
RIOTS and UNREST
Propaganda of Inter-Al-
lied Newspapers In
diets America.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July 1t is
futile to protest our innocence any
longer. America may as well come
out and confess she has an exclu-
tional crimes and blunders. The
grand jury of inter-allied news
paper propaganda, ever probing
into international dishonesty. has
indicted America on the following
counts:
Causing riots, stagnation. disease
and death in world industry and
trade; melting small countries to
war: encouraging Turks. Arme-
mans and Greeks in internecine mas
sacres: ditto Germans and Poles;
ditto Italians and Serbs; ditto
Arabs VS.. French, British; ditto
Russians and anti-reds; sabotage
at the Genoa conference; foreclos-
ing mortgages on widows. orphans
and war cripples; usuary agnostic-
ism. mayhem, arson, driving an
automobile on the wrong side of
the street, and chewing gum during
office hours.
British Indictments,
AS surely as the English know
that Wilson's fourteen points
caused all these embarrassing inde-
pendence movements in Egypt, the
Arab world and India, the Egypt
ians realize that the only reason
the British limited their independ-
ence to a British appointed king
was because one of the first de-
mands of America in getting in the
world war was that Egypt should
get no other government but the
ole established there now. The
Arabs also are aware that America
was the leading inspiration Great
Britain had in sponsoring Zionism.
The French too are not a bit de-
ceived by the recent appearance of
Charles Crane in Syria. Although
Mr.. Crane, who was head of the
American commission to inquire in
to the advisability of accepting the
mandate for Turkey, made his
recent trip to Syria presumably as a
private citizen, the French news
papers both in. Beirut and Constan-
tinople. have exposed that he was
sent to Damascus by the State De-
partment to get the Arabs to renew
their riots for Independence. On
