have also played an important part.

Charges of Oil Jury Scandal
Arouse Indignation of Press

Feeling over what is regarded al
most universally as a plain case of
money fiouting the Nations judicial
system has not abated since the first
outburst OF indignation in the press
at the disclosure that the Sinclair.
Fall jury had been under organized
surveillance by private detectives.
Demands for punishment of the guilty
are accompanied by expressions of
hope for what the Morgantown New
Dominion calls an awakening of 1.-The
American public to a sense Of the
limits to which predatory wealth and
official traitors might possibly go to
escape the consequences of criminal
acts"
"Defrauding the Government through
corruption of public officers is less
heinous and less Of a menace to our
institutions than enfeebling the Gov.
ernment through the corruption of
Justice" declares the Newark Evening
News. 1.-The courts are our last bull
wark; let them be undermined and we
are at the mercy OF the underworld"
Reviewing the whole case, the Apple
ton Post Crescent observes that "up
to date nobody is behind the bars;
that "Sinclair's and Doheny's millions
have successfully defied, intimidated
and evaded Justice" and this Wiscon.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The motor car goes speeding by.
A thing Of beauteous pride.
And yet, it often bids us sigh
And wonder what's inside.
Is it a bootleg bandit bad.
Who wends wicked way,
Or only some light.hearted lad
Out for holiday?
So, when we see a glad array
OF garments new and fine,
And make.ups fashioned to display
A handsome facial line,
Though the exterior view is good,
1t cannot be denied.
How very often have we stood
And wondered who's inside!

The Finding of Mrs. Forbush.

Great relief is felt at the finding in
the woods near Claremont, n. H, of
Mrs. Anne Forbush, who has been
missing since October 10. when she
disappeared from view in a theater in
this city. A sufferer from an affiiction
that had previously caused her to
wander from home, she was believed
to have set out once more upon one
of her stran nge moves, and the search
for her was sustained in the belief
that she would be found alive, how.
ever far from the place of her last ap.
pearance. Intensive securing of the
region about Washington resulted in
no clues to her whereabouts. Then
came word that strange woman had
been seen in New Hampshire, and the
hunt for her was transferred to that
region. Finally, after some days of
pursuit. with frequent disappoint-
ments, she was found in a shack in
the woods. Now. reunited to her hus-
band. who has led the search in per.
son, indefatigably following every
trace, she is to be placed in sani.
tarium. where it is hoped she will re.
cover her health and be cured of her
unfortunate tendency to roam.
Throughout this trying experience
the keenest sympathy has been felt
for Rev. Forbush, and he has received
the practical, unstinted cooperation
OF everybody in his search. The case
was strange one. There was no rea.
son In the family circumstances for
the wife's departure. It was simply
an instance of an alteration for which
no specific cause can be assigned. 1t
would appear that Mrs. Forbush went
to New Hampshire because of an
earlier acquaintance with that region.
She had Travelled by train and afoot.
Evidently there was nothing in her
manner to arouse question, and yet
the spectacle of an unattended WON.
an roaming about the country could
not fail to be noted and reported. The
widespread announcement of her cis-
appearance caused many reports to
be made that led to fruitless searches,
and much time was lost in these un.
productive hunts. But finally the is
sue was a happy one. With profound
gratitude for this outcome of the case,
all will wait for the early restoration
to health Of this wife and mother
whose wanderings have been the sub
ject Of Nationwide concern.

COSTUME BALL FOR
 PUBLIC BY LEGION
 THURSDAY EVENING
ST. PATRICK'S DAY BALL MARKS OPENING OF SUMMER SEASON
 so SAYS REPORT

There are but three days remain ing to complete your costume for the American Legion Costume Ball on March 17th. Remember, no masks will be worn but everyone is expected to appeaar in costume symbolical of St. Patricks Day. The committee are applying the final embellish- ments, the orchestra is "rearin" to go and the merchants who had the fore sight to plant shamrocks in their back yards last October are proudly exhibiting them and preparing for a St. Patrick's rush. Do your shopping early and give the poor working girl chance.
 The immortal fame of the patron saint of Ireland grew out chiefly of his aversion for snakes and the ex- pulsion of all venomous creatures from the Emerald Isles. We have no snakes in Seward but we will use his anniversary to dissipate all ves- tiges of gloom and sorrow. Forget your troubles. put on your green and join the American Legion in the first dance of summer-the weather man has told us confidentially that there will be no cold weather after March 17th. He has been holding off spring until this dance when every one will meet at the Odd Fellows hall, brush away the mental cobwebs of winter, and make merry with Miss Spring and Sweet Alice O'Grady.
 The shamrock will be the emblem of Seward on the 17th of March.
 Twas St. Patrick himself sure that Set it
 And the sun on his labor did smile And the dew from his eye often wet it
 As it rooted itself in the Isle
 It thrives in the bog and the moorland
 As blithe and as sweet as a fay
 And the green that does credit to Ireland
 Is budding in Seward today.
