COUNTY IS LOSER
in ROAD CASE
Parsons Gets Verdict OF 1854 In The
Come Township Road
Suit

A rather interesting and unique
court case came to a close Tuesday
night when a jury awarded a claim
OF 1854 in a suit for $500. brought by
a MIR. Parsons against Como township
and Hand County.
The case had its origin some three
or four years ago, when the afore-
said Parsons contracted with officials
of Como township for the construc-
ton of a road. The road was not
completed according to contract. and
was later taken over by Hand county.
and the work of construction finished.
Basing his suit on the claim that
Como township still owed him S1700,
Parsons brought suit against the
township and Hand County, asking
that he be awarded the above sum.
The case continued over a period
70 four days, coming to a close Tues
day night, when the jury brought in
a verdict for the plaintiff.

N
BY REV. d. J. QUILLAN

trusted by the whole nation. Dis
honesty comes to be regarded NJ
longer as something essentially wrong
but as a game in which n outwits
the other. This attitude is entirely
too prevalent In the realm OF great
business. II filters through to the
lower layers and spreads corruption.
Corruption in this manner becomes
a ~cancerous sore that rapidly extends
itself and fills the whole social organ
ism with an insidious poison. Bust
ness morality has severely suffered
| under the recent shocks. 1t will take
some time to re-establish the old
standards of honesty and honor.
The root of it all is the cult OF
Mammon that has such numerous ad-
herents in our generation. The gilt
| ter of gold exercises over thousands
a fascinating and hypnotic influence.
Their one desire is to enrich them
selves, to hoard wealth and to amass
a fortune. Where this striving be-
comes common, where 1t is the pre-
valent ambition 1t is extremely diff
cult for honesty to thrive. Men, who
think Of money all day long, will not
iemain impervious to its seductive
charms. In an atmosphere OF such
kind, corruption will of necessity
flourish. The love of money weakens
the moral fibre of men and blinds
them to the perception of the turpi-
tude of business TRANSACTIONS that pro-
mise large returns. The bigness of
tire reward silences the slender voice
OF conscience and overshadows all
other considerations. To escape the
growing corruption, more than an oc
casional investigation is required,
what we actually need, is a real
change Of mentality.
Mammonism is corrupting II man
hood and destroying the fine sense OF
honor that protects a man against
meanness, and makes him spurn rich
brides offered for his co-o"o-
dishonest dealings. We m
to admire the acquisition OF a "
dous fortune as a thing deserg
qualified applause. We must scruti
nize the means that have been m
ployed In the winning of wealth. and
condemn riches that have been OBJ
tanned by mere ~shrewdness and tina
are not the natural reward OF some
valuable service rendered the com
Dtunity. The emphasis, which we lave
wrongly placed on mere financial sue
cess irrespective of usefulness, must
be transferred to work and service.
The acquisition Of wealth must be
subjected to severe tests; and only
when these tests have been success
fully withstood can we bestow honor
and recognition. If these standards
are adopted, graft, bribery and venal-
ity will decrease; for they are merely
the symptoms OF d~eep-seated disease,
the name Of which Is mammonism.

THE WORSHIP OF MAMMON

The shocking disclosures, now going
on in the country's capital and in
vciyinS men In high places of trust,
are calculated to make n take a
| pessimistic view of human nature and
to upset completely the doctrine oil
| the native and inherent goodness o
man. To see names that shone with
| bright and undimmed lustre besmirch-
ed, and untarnished regulations drag.
| ged in the mire, is a spectacle pain
| full to behold for the lover of human
ity, and pleasing only to the inveter-
| ate cynic who sneers at human virtue
| and s~cofingly proclaims that every
| man has his price. In spite of every.
| thing, this charge must be repudiated
! II is important that we do not allow
! ourselves to be inoculateG by the
| virus of cynicism, and that we do not
| lose our faith in sincerity and integ,
| rity. 1t means little that millions are
| lost but that the damage would be
irreparable IL the people lost it's faith
In humanity and democracy. And so
however widespread corruption may
be proved to be in the ranks of poll
ticians and big business promoters, II
Is imperative TO remember and to as
sert stoutly that corruption is not uni
versal and that venality is not an es-
sential attribute of human nature
