A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.

AS for God, His way is perfect:
The word of the Lord is tried. For
who is God save the Lord? or who
is rock save our God?-Psalm 10:
30:31.
Gould we judge all deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we judge we should /;
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
-Rudyard Kipling.

ALL EDITORS ARE LIARS.
From Mansn (Iowa) Democrat.

tfIuIn MdIlSH NlOWaJ DeIlOcfdt.
WE OVERHEARD man remark
ing the other day that the rea-
son he did not take the Manson pa
pfrs' is that all editors are liars.
While we know that the reason that
he does not take the Manson papers
is that he has deadbeated subscrip-
tons, we will admit that he told the
truth about all editors being liars.
Fact is, we never told the truth about
the man. We always lied about him,
but we will not lie about him this
time. When he got married over rs
years ago we published in this pa
per that he was an "honest, indus
tfious, young man." That was lie
and we knew it. He was a deadbeat
before he ever got married and owed
for board, room and washing that he
did not pay then and has never paid
since. He owed for chewing tobacco,
clothing and anything he could be
trusted for and has never paid the
deht.-,--He was not industrious, but
was notoriusly lazy, hulking lout
and foafer who would not work if
he could possibly get out of it, and
then when forced into work he was
shirk and sneak always trying
to put the heaviest work on his COM
panions. We said he would make a
good home for his wife. That was
as lie. He never owned a. home of
his own, and does not own one now,
but he has to pay his rent in advance
now every month. We said his wife
was a handsome and accomplished
young lady" This was several lies.
She was homlier than the back end
on the buildings that front on Main
street in Manson, Iowa, she had no
accomplishments except to chew gum
and talk slang; she was young, blu,
she was not lady as she had>a pref,

TREASURY CHIEF CLERK
CHARGING LIBEL, SUES
SUPERIORS FOR $4,000

William L. Clay of Rochester, n.
Y, chief clerk of the savings di-
vision Of the Treasury Department.
has filed suit in the District Su-
preme Court to recover $4,000
damages for alleged libel against
his two immediate superiors in
the division-Lew Wallace. jr., di-
rector of the savings division. and
Charles H. Fullaway, assistant d.
rector The plaintiff charges that
he has suffered in his good name
and reputation and lost the regard
of his neighbors by reason Of the
alleged publication by the defend
ants of statements derogatory of
him in a letter which he asserts
they caused to be sent by S. P.
Gilbert. undersecretary of the
Treasury. to Senator Wadsworth
of New York. in response to a let
ter from the senator in favor of
Clay.
The alleged libelous letter is
the senator that Clay is dilatory
and negligent in the conduct of his
duties, spends large portions of
business hours in personal busi-
ness, and has demoralized the force
under him. Clay denies all the
charges in the letter. He has held
the position for four years, when
the bureau was known as the war
savings division. He is repre-
sented by Attorney H. Mason

close runners-up. Lou Tellegen. by
right of his ability and pretentious

first honors. a verdict accorded by a
majority of the audience. Mr. Telle-
gen has picked out one of the tense
periods of the play. in which he has
starred. and. as result. every min

acting. The tabloid story tells OF an
artist who, deserted by his sweet
heart to marry rich man: SINKS very

playing of the former was accorded
hearty appreciation, while the lady Is
amusing with her gestures and man

GARRICK- -"The Hottentot." :"

The best farce Washington has seen

audience that saw the Mapes-Collier

of approval enthusiastically bestowed
For clean, wholesome fun. The Hot

periors. The lines are so crammed
with humor that even with an IN
different cast it would provoke many
chuckles and much hearty laughter.
but performed by such a capable COM
pany as the Garrick Players at The
Garrick Theater, 1t was provocative
of continuous mirth. The farce has
no relation to an inhabitant of South
as might be inferred from its
title. but is built around the evil
of a race horse bearing
that name. Through series of Gu
play is given the reputation of
famous gentleman rider OF the same
name and the conditions are such
that he is forced to live up to his un-
earned fame. The role of the hero.
Sam Harrington, is portrayed by
IN THE Acquittal." 1t is the part SO
successfully performed by Willie Col
lier. Mr.. Harrigans essay of the
role was a continuous delight. Free
from buffoonery, with keen percep>
tion of the righteousness of his con-
dition. he presented a conception Of
the part that was in 2 high degree
artistic. His support was notably
capable. Especial commendation is
due to Gerald Oliver Smith as the
nervous butler. He gave a well con
sidered portrayal of a role that. in
less able hands might have descended
easily into horseplay, but which he
in the higher realm Of
pure comedy. Dorothy Megrew, as
Mrs Chadwick, had one of the best
roles she has had with the Garrick
Players, and presented in a most
amusing manner its humorous possi-
bilities. Ada Meade. as Peggy Fair
fax, sustained the high reputation
she has achieved as an actress who
transforms Illusion into reality. Garry
as Ollie Clifford, Sara Far
ron as Mrs. Ollie Clifford, Edwin
Trusheim as Alec Fairfax, Dennis
King as Larry Crawford. J. E. Joyner
as Perkins, Granville &C. Palmer as
