Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness. — 2 Timothy 4 :7- “SUPINE APATHY OF THE PUB LIC” * 'Governor Small, of Illinois, must ' pay back to the State all of the mon ey secured while treasurer, the Illi nois Supreme Court has ruled. It is charged that banks in his State paid ‘ the then State Treasurer huge sums to deposit the State funds with them, and the court has ruled no error in the trial in which he was convicted. * The people did not know their treasurer was getting money “on the aide." and worse they didn't seem to e«r<* enough about it to make an in vestigation. However, after the facts were brought out. and he was ready for trial, the people re-elected him. “The supine apathy of the public is one of the most pregnant evils of the day.” says the Philadelphia Rec ord. and adds : have it hero in Pennsylvania in more forms, perhaps. tfeAn in any other section of the country. At this moment a few decent people are try ing to secure at Harrisburg the much needed reform of our election laws. Gang politicians are working to block this salutary movement, and they are doing it with brazen effrontery, know ing that the public is indifferent and that they can probably “get away with murder.” Truly “the public* is a poor boob.” and Until there comes a change in the public temper nothing much may be expected in the way of correcting the numerous evils afflict ing us. Ex-Governor Herbert S. Hadley, Chancellor of Washington University, who has had long experience in public affairs, recently said: After a century and half in the great adventure of self-government, we find general indifference to the ac tual results, and marked divergence of opinion as to even the fundamentals of our governmental system. The American people seem to want this sort of thing. The cases of Do- i heny, Fall and Sinclair did not keep them from re-electing a /Republican which they have been charged were administration, yet the frauds of which they have been charged were carried out under a Republican ad ministration. " Thejre is not going to be any change so long as the people put up with the low’ standards. In fact it seems that the voters are getting just what they want ’ ikr- |; w ITS ALWAYS THE SAME. Holmes Morris is not dead; he has eloped with another woman. 0. That i* what Sheriff Fowler told a Bfcjfrowd of 2.000 persons who gathered jR .Mir\Monroe to seek the body of the 2 l|ni©u county man who was believed | to hdve been killed. Sheriff Fowler » told the searchers that no reward ; would be paid for Morris and that he would be arrested when the authori ||pps rather difficult to understand how Morris hoped to get by with h*s plans. He shot his car full of holes. ; left some old clothe©' about the car prepared conditions so that search ers would presume he had been killed. And in the meantime he had gone off with another woman. He left his wife and two children at home. Sudh plans never work out. They have been .tried time and time again, yet they lead to nothing but grief! It would not be so bad if Morris were the only one to grieve, but always there is the wife and children and other relatives. Most of the time the woman who goes with Uje man knows their Utopia will prove nothing more than a bubble, easily exploded by the law. We have known a number of men to escape the law’ when they sold liquor, gambled or did both. We have known them to escape the law whenflhey turned thief or when they took up the manufacture of liquor. We have known fe\v who ever “got by” with a paramour. EXCELLENT BUSINESS RE PORTED HERE. Business men of Concord were al most unanimous Monday in reporting “excellent*’ business in Concord on Saturday. One merchant said condi tions on Saturday reminded him of “old times/’• speaking of season be fore the drought of last summer. The curtailed schedule forced on local mills by the water shortage was felt in all lines of business here. Ap parently the full envelopes of the past several weeks have made it possible for the textile operatives to get their debts cleared up. and they are in po sition now to buy new* tilings. While cotton mill men declare bus iness with them is not “rushing” they are runniug at a profit and that means full employment for the thou sands of workers. The employment means these people are going to have money to spend with the local mer chants. Concord is vitally interested in the welfare of the cotton mills. THINKS WORLD COURT WILL BE END OF WAR Saner Declares if America Enters the Tribunal Strife Will Be Put in Shackles. ‘ New York. Feb. 22—“ The hand maiden* of strife anti desolation im perialism. territorial ambition and the spirit of conquest’’ will be dis credited if the United States is ac cepted into the world court. R. E. L. Saner, of Dallas. Texas, said to day in a Washington birthday ad dress urging American participation in the courtr Mr. Saner, who is president of the American branch of the International Law Association and a former presi dent of the American iter Association, expressed hope that “only a short rime shall intervene before the na tions supporting the world court may accept the adhesion of she United States to the permanent court of in ternational justice ui>on the reserva tions adopted by the Senate.V “perhaps the urllenium is not in sight,” he said. there will continue to be other great wars. Per haps it is impossible for human hands to devise schemes that will prevent war. Imperialism, territorial ambi tion and the spirit of conquest know no law. It is certain, however, that these hand maidens of strife and deso lation will not so quickly raise their heads if they realize that.by so doing they shall receive the concerted dis credit of the other nations of the earth.” Analyze the Health Conditions in Rowan.

Today’s ovation exceeded in apparent spontaneity the Wednesday welcome. Hundreds were turned away frorrf' the doors after the last possible standee had* been squeezed into the, ranks three and four deep in t£ie 1 horse-shoe bordering the orchestra seats, to hear the 111-year-old Kansas City girl. Her arias in the three acts in which j she appeared were geuerously ap plauded. and at tke end of the first act she took nine curtain calls, and at the £ii d of the second act ten calls, with Lourivolpi and DeLuca, who also supported her at her debut. In the sextet iu the second act Miss Talley at times held back her voice rfnd was obscured by Lanri volpi's vigorous tenor; but in the mad scene of the third act she gave herself full range, taking the colora rura runs with the same assuredness and absence of nervousness that marked her debut. The brilliancy of her upper register and the full softness of her lover tones delighted the audience, and at the end of the aria she was given an ovation of three and half minutes. Again, as in “Caro Nome,” the brilliancy of the high notes was achieved at the expense of tightness and apparent straining. Rut as she followed the flute obligato there was less sharping than was noticed at her debut. At the end of the act *t Mr. Graydon will amplify certain remarks included above. We trbst ” Her voice droned off through the pc-rfunctory assurances of advice and assistance. When she raised her eyes Graydon had dropped Into hie chair, across tte table from her She looked at him blankly. Graydon spoke deliberately, choo3ing hi* words, aa If conscious ot his need to penetrate the under standing ot the girl whose mind struggled against a portent that . overwhelmed her. "You may accept each sentence with complete confidence." he said. "The money is there, reedy for you. Downstairs, at the curb, my own car is waiting to take you. and your bank book, to the bank. There you will sign ybur name. Just a scratch of the pen, and tile rest L” He paused, and hfs fingers again played with the Jade paper weight. In that slight pause Joanna-Hhe Joanna whose philosophies were fruits of many wisdoms—though she saw the thing that, for the -time had been driven from her thoughts. "Sire was right, atter all! Only, It hadn’t come in the way she ex pected. A pretty little play, with all Its elaborate stage setting! a million dollars! A new kind of gesture made by some idiot who thought she wouldn’t be 'Wise' ID time. A million dollars; then.

Her Itpe set into a UM that was out tt place against their pencilled contours. "Now you’re getting at it. Mr thought UerVd a catch in it! The mao only shook Mb head, rather sadly, as If he suffered a 1 little before the spectacle of a flri, 1 fresh and young and lovely, who must ever be on the alert for “the i catch In It." ‘There are no obligations," no , said, still shaping his words slow* ' ly. “The stupendous gift Is yours I] without conditions.

But .1 may not reveal them to yon. 1 may only say. and 1 hope yon will have a little trust in me—that you need have no trouble and that- there Is nothin* unpleasant about your mystery." Joanna aaak to her chair “Yon mean." she persisted. "You mean that someone—someone 1 don't even know-—has made me rich and that I don't have to —that he won't ask of me—!” She oould not go on. all her reasonings, her wis doms, her safeguards were beaten away as if they were futile things. She heard Qraydoa say what still maddened her because of tho puzzle In it; because It left ber helpless. “You will not be asked to give— anything!” W The dfllce door opened. Gray don had touched his buzzer and. the secretary entered—the strange ly soft mannered, unobstruslvs girl In whom Joanna bad first seen I utter unattractireness. but who had caused her to wonder, after a bit. If her own Ups wer hot a Uttle too scarlet. On the girl's arm waa Joanna's wrap and In her hand was Joanna's hat. It was the same fur wrap Joanna had thought to be in dire ful risk of the pawnshop when Graydon summoned her from tho silk counter, presumably to her dismissal for some unknown of fense. The hat was the one still unpaid for. The sudden sight of the fineries she could oot afford, either to have or not to have, sent her Into a torrent of hysterical laughter. Graydon gave the secretary e hasty sign. Both waited until the girl In the chair quieted, her laugh ter dying away in stifled sobs. The secretary moved toward her. then, j *and held her wrap. v Automatically Joanna drew the cloak around her slender figure. Then she fixed her hat. Suddenly she turned, faced Graydon again and cried out to him: "But wTtat am 1 to do—with the money rw The man" answ-ered in the even, curiously convincing manner that so completely baffled her: "That is one of the questions 1 may not an swer 1 shall be to know what your decisions will be." The secretary would have com forted the girl: would have taken her arm and led her out into the store and to the street, but Gray don stayed her with a motion of bis hand, as if whatever Joanna was to face, she must face It alone. groped her way across the office and the. reception room The secretary held open {pr her the outer door For% a moment she leaned against it Before her eyes the besy people who -hurried through the passage ways between the petitions of the cubbyholes on the "office floor" seemed to be swimmers to a whirlpool She felt that Graydon had followed her and waa standing close. Without turn ing she asked, her voice rising barely above ajwhlsper: "Which way do 1 g«?" A long time afterwards: when Joanna, of the shirts too short aad lips too ted ants tongue too pert had become a Golden Girl around whom a vortex raged, she remem bered Graydon's reply to her whis pered appeal: “1 wish that 1 might show you, my dear: but it Is every girl's bur den te choose for herself. And as each one of you makes your choice, the world become# better or worse. -You may go either to the right— or to the left!" When the door N closed behind the' girl who had been “Miss Twenty seven of the silks,” Graydon asked the secretary to get for him, on the telephone, the bank whose let ter .Joanna had igpnderlagly car ried^Way la her hands "Ask that 1 have Mr. Eggleston.
