Justice

OF local column, but Whefe an IN
justice has been done to group of
good citizens by irresponsible and per-
haps malicious, gossips, the wrong
should be righted.
For many weeks a rumor has been
in general circulation that the men,
bers of the committee in charge of the
R. F. C. activities are being paid
salaries out of the R. F. G.. funds.
Such is not the case. Not believing
the story, the writer made inquiry OF
the treasurer of the committee, as well
as of the payroll clerk, and found, as
he expected, that it was false and
without any foundation in truth. In
fact, the rumor was based on short
and ugly word of three letters.
This kind of gossip tends to great
harm and impedes the successful con-
summation of any plan of economic
recovery. But it has ever been So
that when an individual, or group of
individuals, unselfshly devotes his or
their time to the directing of great
public movement for the public good,
they are maligned and criticised by
those who ought, but do not, follow
their leadership. '.t.e.
Gypping The UnfOrtunates
We believe it was Mary Roberts
Rinehart, who, in describing one of the
characters in one of her books, said:
"He is so far down in the scale of
humanity that it would require spec
ial dispensation of Providence to raise
him to the level of total depravity."
A severe castigation-bu none too
severe for the person-merchant or
professional man-who takes advan-
tage of the unfortunate who ekes out
precarious living during these times
by working on public projects or
private enterprises, by overcharging,
underweights, or otherwise gypping
him in his extremity. We are not
limiting that these practices obtain
here, but the press has noted a num-
ber of instances throughout the coun-
try, and wherever found the party
offended has suffered public condemna-
ton and loss of patronage.
