Regard Thief as Liar

In private life, we have come
to regard the thief as a liar. No
one places much reliance on the
word of man who steals.

TO khan influence in Union
County can be attributed at least
part Of the trouble which that
political unit is having in law en-
forcement, Willingly or unwit-
tingly khan members believe they
can interpret and enforce the laws
to suit themselves. The natural
result of this attitude of mind is
a disposition to believe that the
hooded orders will protest its
members.
It is hard to ascribe any other
reason for the breaking down of
tho law enforcement machinery
Ia that county. Until the advent
OF the khan, Union County had few
crimes Of major proportions, and
usually there was no delay IN ar

privately owned shipping companies has features
that far from sound business methods; it might
improve itself greatly there.
But entirely aside from all this, it would seem
that $16OOoOOo is not too large price to pay fol

To the Editor:


To the Editor:
In the latest pronunciamento Of
the President, reiterating the inten-
tons previously expressed by him in
declining to become a candidate for
a third term, one thing is demon
strated beyond a doubt: He's no
hog. He knows when he's got
enough.
There Is no sane reason, ethical
or otherwise, why the chief execu-
tive Of this nation should not serve
three or even more terms, If he is
the right sort. And, if he isn't the
right sort, he never should have
served even one term. Cal could
have the Republican nomination
next year without even the formal
ity Of asking it. 1t would be just
like taking pennies from a blind
beggar, or receiving a legacy from
Dutch uncle.
But not Cal. No sir-eeI Cal amt
that kind of boy. You could park
plum pudding in front of Cal till
ne couldn't see over it, and he
wouldn't punish his stomach beyond
the amount when that sensitive or
gan began to broadcast the S o s
accompanied by feeling of uneasi-
ness in the digestive tract presaging
belly-ache. Not on your life! Just
as soon as symptoms of "womich"
began to appear, no matter how in
sistent the protestations Of the
motherly hostess, he'd gently but
firmly shove the seductive pottage
of the gods hence and demur thus:
mo, thank you; do not choose to
make myself sick"
And, in Gals case, that puritani-
cal New England abstemiousness OBJ
tains just as well in public as in
private life. That inherent frugal
ity and sense of proportion which
characterized the fugitiveS who
came over on the Mayflower, has
been perpetuated in Cal. eve mere
ly surmise that Cal is Mayflower
bred, as nearly all New Englanders
as well as millions outside New
England-claim to be direct de-
Scendants of passengers aboard the
dear old liner on that historic voy-
age, when she must have been load
ed to the waters edge in order to
accumulate the progenitors of the
innumerable multitude of claimants
to such ancestry-forsooth, the
Mayflower must have been of a
tonnage to give the Leviathan cards
and spades, in the matter of a pas
senger liSt)
Nobody ever heard Of Cal over
INDUCING in anything, unless it
might be-silence. For which, God
be praised! For, are not we already
sufficiently "slandered' by some of
his eminent confreres?
But, when Cal said, 81 do not
choose to rum" the statement in
volved pretty stiff paradox. He's
running all rightly. But he's run
ming FROM it. For which he de-
serves great credit; and if he ever
comes down our way" he's per-
fectly welcome TO drive in, unhitch
and throw his beast a. bunch OF
clover hay, and plant his feet under
our polished goods box and partake
of our limited supply of hog and
mountaineering full well that he'll
not overfeed himself.

Perfect Anagran1
Thrills PuzzlerS

BIZ United Press
NEWARK, n. j., Feb. 23.-After
discovering a perfect anagram, there
was no further unfinished business
before the convention of the National
Puzzlers' League, so members today
were on the way to their homes.
William Grossman, prominent New
York attorney, provided the anagram
the won hearts of his fellow puzzlers.
He wrote the words "They See on
q blackboard and then showed what
could be done about it.
Using the same letters but rear
ranging them, Grossman formed the
words THE Eyes" which had kim
dred meaning. 1t seems that an ana
gram is no good unless it says just
about the same thing the original
words do.
Anagrams from names OF promi-
nent persons also were shown. Will
liam Gaynor was transposed into
"a willing mayor" which he was, of
New York. William Howard Taft
became "a word with all, I'm fat"
