Newberryis1h as a Live Issue.

Politicians Of the old school always relied
upon the people forgetting. They did not fear
putting through deal in politics that they
knew would be unpopular. They depended
upon their ability to draw public attention
away from the unpopular act But if they
thought that the Newberry case would be for
gotten they are doomed to disappointment 1t

the senate from Michigan last fall 1t was
year before another election. The old guard
would not have dared seat Newberry on the
eve Of an election. In that case the methods
used in his campaign would have been too fresh
in the public mind. They carried the contest
in the senate for long time, until what they
thought was the accepted time had arrived.
Then they seated the Michigan man BY q close

The Daily Short Story

after few moments Of silence.

Inervously biting her lips. It all

The nurses lips unconsciously
moved In prayer-oh, II some mir

her eyes and her lips parted into a

One Way to Handle Gossip.

Gossip IL the same ugly thing the world
around, because the baser instincts of human
ity, like the nobler Instincts, are the same
everywhere. But not always does gossip get
overtaken by Just reYaration, As It did recently
in tho English village Of Wellow. Miss George.
The Village nurse at Wellow, became the victim
Of gossiping tongues. She had. it was reported.
been In the habit Of visitag the village tavern;
and doubtless ON this foundation the villainous
smplifier of gossip built towering structure
of drunkenness and general dissoluteness. But
1t turned out that Nurse George had visited the
inn to take care of the landladys little daugh-
ter. who lay there dying. When the facts turned
lout to overwhelm the gossip there was . re-
markable demonstration There was meet
ing at which Nurse George was given hand
some gold wrist watch, q handbag and purse
of money. subscribed to by almost every family
In the village and district The speakers at tho
meeting every one denounced village gossip and
paid the highest tributes to the victim. whom
the wears wife declared to be an angel Of
mercy. The vicar spoke, The headmaster Of the
village school paid his tribute and all the lead
ing residents did their share. That was pret-
ty thing to do. and il it happened oftener gossip
would flay fewer souls with its venom Only
one thing is lacking to make that story cum
plete 1t should have been said that the origin
al author Of the lying talk had been identified,
/ and that every one Of these bearers OF false
witness had been stood upon pillory of pub
lie scorA.

HARDWICK ENDS OIL
CASE FEE QUESTION
FIXES STATES ATTORNEYS
FEE AT $11,50O. LAW FIRM
WANTED $38,5oO FOR HIRE.

Governor Hardwick has settled an
issue that had been pending for sew
eral months by fixing a fee of $1l 500
for Attorneys Brewster, Howell and
Heyman and Mark Bolding in litiga-
ton between the Texas Oil Company
and the State of Georgia establishing
the legality of the states fees for the
inspection of gasoline. The attorneys
had suggested fee of 10 per cent on
the amount involved, which would
have given them about $38,500.
The law firm was employed in
April, 1920, by former Governor Dor
Sey, whose executive minutes provld-
ed that they should be paid lust and
equitable fee contingent upon the work
done, the amount to be determined by
the governor" Governor Hardwick in
terpreted this contract to be on a
quantum merit basis, but former Gov
ernor Dorsey construed the employ
ment to be on contingent basis.
at should be remembered that the
special counsel for the state were al
lowed and paid a retainer OF $500
in the above stated matter" comment
ed Governor Hardwick IF the fee
was wholly contingent on results then
the retainer should not have been
paid. In my opinion, however, the
language referred to does not make a
contract between the state and its spe-
cial counsel in this case which was in
any way contingent upon the result of
the litigation. The attorney general
has suggested that in the event
should determine that the fee was not
a contingent one from $4,000 to $12,-
