sinful any suggestion of questioning
those things that we're implanted
In his unthinking infantile mind.
1t is because Intolerance wears these
aspects that it thrives in the earth.
The plumed knight of knowledge
and Education, instead of confront
ing the monster Intolerance with
uplifted javelin and Staying it forth
with. is most often in the attitude OF
fostering and glorifying Intolerance
out of Difference to motherhood and
fatherhood. Il must pretend TO
acquiesce. says the plumed knight,
because of my reverence for my
father and mother; l haven't the
heart to hurt their feelings" And
the pluned knight displays cross
OH his shield, proclaming his allegl-
ance to the traditions and superstl-
tions Of his less enlightened an
cestory. Ancestor worship as prac-
ticed by the plumed knight is a
greater foe to progress than the
monster of Intolerance and permits
it to vcx mankind with its hate and
fury.

POOR FELLOW
ROBBED ABANK,
SORRY FOR HIM.

1t will be interesting to observe
the trial of J. L. Tucker, default
ing cashier of the HertfOrd branch
of the defunct Carolina Banking
g. Trust Co., in the Superior
Court of PerquimanS County
which convcnes in Hertford Mon
day. Hundreds Of prominent citi-
zens in Hertford and Perquimans
County are praying for acquital
or a light verdict for the defend
ant. And that's a funny thing
about human nature.
If young Tucker had stolen an
automobile or robbed a smoke house
everybody would be clamoring for
his conviction. But he robbed a
bank, a surety company in distant
city made good his shortage, and
everybody feels sorry for him. In
systematic pilfering extending over
a period of about seven years, young
Tucker stole $24,645.43 He used the
simple method of putting time de-
positS in his pocket and not enter
ing them on the banks books. For
instance, w. F.. Howell, thrifty
farmer, deposited S3,279.23 which
Tucker knew Mr.. Howell would
leave in the bank indefinitely.
Tucker pocketed the money and
never put it thru the books. He
might have been stating yet, but
the Carolina Banking g. Trust Co.
busted and auditors stepped in to
60 over its books.
The auditors went to work in the
Hertford branch of the Carolina
Bank on August 81. Tucker knew
that his shortage would be instantly
discovered. That day he left home.
He returned home that night in a
blue funk and didn't get out Of bed
next morning. His wife brought his
breakfast to his bedside. He would
not eat. He pulled a pistol from un-
der his pillow and in his wife's pre-
senee attempted to kill himself, put
ting a SO calibre steel bullet thru
his h.y. The bullet missed his
heart by a hair and be recovered
from the shot. When he came out
of the hospital and was placed ui-
der arrest, scores of good citizens
came to his rescue, Offering not only
to sign his bond but to give him
financial assistance. A few days
later a truck load of food and pro-
visions backed up to his door, a gift
from his fellow townsmen.
Young Tucker is &c years Old
married, has four young children
He was employed on a salary of Sl75
month and is believed to have
spent nearer $500 a month on his
family and relatives. In his per-
sonal haIitS he was frugal.
The following conversation on a
street corner in Hertford after the
discovery of the dcfalcation is typi-
cal:
"And you say he stole less than
S25,OOO and was seven years doing
it?"
well, what I can't understand is
why he didn't steal $4,000 while he
was at it; it wouldn't have gone an!
! harder with him and no ono Woult
have thought less of him."
And that's a funny thing abou
humans.
