BREVARD E. HARRIS,
City Clerk and Treasurer.
Hidden Treasure.
The Pathfinder.
A pot of gold means, of course, hid
den treasure: the gold of business and
fiuanee is not kept pots. The very
words have an elusive and exciting
sound, suggestive equally of pirate
hoards or fairy riches at the foot of
the rainbow ; suggestive too of high
adventure and persistent quest. But
Mr. Sumner Healey, the* collector, has
recently told of a pot of gold, ahd
a carefully hiddeu pot too, which may
be said to have found. its finders.
During the war a German bomb
alighted suddenly in a trench some
where in France. The soldiers dashed
to cover; then came the detonation.
Clods and earth flew up and with
them descended a rain of gold pieces.
The explosion had disinterred a pot
of gold, buried, as the dates on the
coins showed, before 1500. Probably
some terrified French landowner hid
it, during the occupation by the Eng
lish, In the days of Joan of Arc. The
lucky soldiers gathered up four hun
dred coins aud sold them at good
pricey. Mr. Healey secured one for
his collection.
More recently, workmen in his em
ploy were removing the paneling from
the refaetory at an old French abbey,
confiscated during the Revolution, and
fallen to ignominous uses. Pigs and
potatoes were kept in its precincts,
and the owner gladly sold the ancient
carved panels, to' be reset in the home
of an American on Long Island. Sud
denly, one of the workmen fell back
ward unconscious, struck down by a
heavy bag of gold, which dropped out
and hit bin upon the head as he 1
loosened the panel that covered a se
cret cupboards. The bag burst; and
in the wild scramble that ensued ev
erybody fought everybody else, ahd
one man was stabbed severely. The
contents of the bag was valued at
twenty-eight thousand francs. Doubt
less the workmen managed to pocket
a little, but none were entitled to any-,
except the man who had actually
found—or been found by—the gold.
The French law on such treasure
trove is clear and strict: one-third
goes to the government, one-third to
the owners of the place where ft is
found, and the final third to the find
er.
Little John—Pa, said a newspaper
man son, I know why editors call
themselves we.
Big John—Why?
Little Johnn—So the man that
doesn’t like the article will think
there are too many for him to Hfek.'
Nurse—Madam, the children arc
very naughty today.
Madam—Bend them to me; I will
play them something.
Nurse—That’s no use, madam; I’ve i
already threatened them with that' 1
Doesn't this hotel know that a law
agilnst public roller towels was passed
three years ago?
Yea, but no ex-post, facto laws are 1
permitted in this state. That towel I
was pnt up before the law waa passed. • 1

“RUNNING FROM DISGRACE.”
Statesville Daily.
Charlotte police shot nnd seriously
wounded a young man who was admit
tedly the proprietor of a liquor laden
car, nnd who was attempt ng a get
away when the police bullets caught
him. There is quite a warm argument
about the shooting. The young man
says he was running away—“running
away from disgrace”—he is quoted as
saying, when the officers fired on him
and hit him in the back. The wound
shows that he was shot in the back.
The police say the rum-runner was on
the run, but that he stopped long
enough to open tire on them, or tire;!
as he ran. In any event the minions I
of the law are declaring vehemently '
that they d'dn't stage the shooting: ;
that the rum-runner opened the en
gagement with a salutation of hot lead
and they answered in kind. They say
they have his gun as evidence. Rum
runner says he had no gun.
Leaving that dispute for settlement
with those charged with the responsi
bility, let us reflect for a moment on
what that young man says he was
running away from. He had. he ad
mits, a quantity of liquor in h ; s car,
and when the officers pressed him he
abandoned the ear and used his feet,
if not his head. He was, he says
"running away from disgrace.” If the
officers hadn't come upon him lie
wouldn’t have run away. There would
have been no "disgrace,” nor nothing,
to run from. Theu we must assume
that, as the rum runner sees it, the
disgrace impended only when the pos
sibilßA of capture pressed. It was the
disgnie of being caught that alarmed
and Ijsnt wings to his feet; the dis
grace of exposure. So far as appears
it was not disgrace, as the rum-run
ner viewed it. to be engaged in rum
running; or at least it was not the
sort of disgrace that he would run
away from. He would have stayed on
that job, profited by it. without suf
ficient disturbance of conscience to'
cause loss of sleep, if tlie police had
let him alone. He say only disgrace
in exposure and punishmenet.
Os bourse that idea of disgrace did
opt originate with this rum runner.
It "s as old as the race, as old as
titue. It is very human to do things
,we don't care to have known. These
things may be morally wrong, or le
gally wrong; sometimes they are
neither. But while we have the cour
age to go ahead and do them, we
have a great dread, sometimes an un
reasonable fear, of certain of our acts
becoming public. If the things we do
are not morally or legally wrong, sim
ply contrary to custom; if they are
things we can justify nnd defend,
then we should have the courage to do
them in the open. If we knowingly
and wilfully violate the legal and mor
al code, and feel that exposure means
disgrace, why does ot not occur to us
that the disgrace begins with the
wrong conduct? While we may not
suffer, so much from the consequences,
the, disgrace is not one whit less if the
; evid conduct is never discovered. The
wrong is just as great, just as hideous
—if it , ik of a character to make it
hideous—nud the moral responsibil : ty
is just the same, as if no exposure
should be made. One is regarded as
gn outstanding specimen of moral de
pravity if he is “open in lrs mean
ness," if he* doesn't seem to care who
knows.. But it may be doubted if he
is ,as bad,. certainly he is no worse,
than he who engages in wrong prac
tices freely and wilfully, and then
protests to heaven that he is disgrac
ed When exposure faces. Certainly he
is disgraced, but to hisk-infamy he
added the sin of hypocrisy when he
was, pretending to be what lie was not.
Folks are certainly curious that
way. Every newspaper mau knows
the frantic efforts made to keep things
out of the paper that affect personal
reputation. And every newspaper
man has been made sick with disgust
at the whited sepulchers who were
■ full of dead men’s bones and all un
cleanness, morally rotten and content
so to be, who put up a whine about
thejrrreputationn being hurt when ex
posure comes to them. There are per
sons not a few in every community
who have bad reputations but profess
not to realize it. They may be known
as bootlegger patrons, known to be un
scrupulous in their dealings, but they
make pretence of good reputation anil
so long as no open exposure comes,
although their rottenness is well
known if not generally known, they
get by. But these very people, if
and when exposure comes, are as
frantic in the effort to hide, as if they
were really clean. They profess to
fear disgrace, when they have been
disgraced ail along by their own vol
untary acts. A lot of folks think
they have somebody fooled when they
haven’t. They may be favored of
fortune so that exposure is avoided,
but the disgrace is just as rank and :
lack of confidence as great among
those who know them.
JUDGE PREDICTS
ALL CHILDREN FED
Secs Laws in Every State to Make
School Pupils Well Nourished.
New York, April 5-—ln two and a
half years there will be a law in
New York State, also in other
• states, rending substantially as fol
lows :
"The board of directors of nny
school may cause to be furnished
free of charge on each and every
school day, to each child in attend
ance desiring the same, dequate
food to fully nourish such child. The
cost of supplying such food shnll lie
paid for in the same manner and
; out of the same fund as the other
! items incurred in the conduct and
] operation of .said school.”
This was the prediction yesterday
of Judge Henry Neil, father of moth
ers' pension laws, who has returned
to New York from a tour on which
he preached the theory that public
schools should provide children pro
per physical nourishment as well as
proper mental pabulum.
Finds 50 Per Cent Deficient.
"Os 20.000.000 American school
children," said Judge Neil, "50 per
cent are physically deficient. And the.
physical defects are due principally
to undernourishment. These defects
and the influence of improper nutri
tion make children dull and retard
their advancement, handicapping
them for life.
"The education of these 26,000,-
000 costs $2,400,000,000 annually.
Then to examine these children, dis
cover tlie food properties lacking in
thjeir home diet and supply it to
them aat school, would be k6od
economy, an ultimate saving to”the
State.
"It is not that all these children
ure underfed. Many overeat and yet
starve. They are not given the food
properties they need. Especially
lacking in their diets are lime salts.
Therefore the large number of chil
dren with bad teeth, adenoids, goitre,
rickets—these troubles are traceable
to malnutrition.”
Judge Neil, in three trjps across
file country last year,, spoke to thou
sands of Rotary and other clubs —
men’s clubs, all of them. *
Makes Appeal' to Men.
“I always go to the men,’ 1 -he said.
"Why ? A woman's interest 'is in her
own child, not in another woman’s,
unless it is laid on her doorstep.
Every other child is a potential com
petitor, and tlie woman wants her
child to excel. So I go to the men’s
organizations, Men will do more for
children generally than women;
women will do more for their Own
children than men.”
in 1011 Judge Neil, then a'Chica
go common-law judge, went into the
Juvenile Court and saw mothers hys
terical because children they could
not support were being sent away to
institutions. He concluded it would
be cheaper to make the mother the
institution.
He first wan election to the Illi
nois Legislature and got a mothers’
pension bill passed in that State.
Then he set out traveling through
out. the United States and abroar.
Now 42 stapes have mothers’ pension
laws, involving annual expenditures
of $25,000,000. New York City ap
propriating $5,300,000. England ap
propriates annually $15,000,000.
Judge Neil's first bill recently was
introduced in the New York, Legis
lature by Sen. Thomas F- Burchiil.

CHICAGO WILL ACT.
Dearborn Weekly.
The confession of Chicago's in
ability to cope with organized crime
In Ihe most shameful asknowledg
nient ip the annals of American
ritifii. With the authorities supine
or incapable, with courts fai ing to
functioip properly, law-abiding citi
zens are at the mercy of alien gun
men who make terror and murder
highly specialized avocations; Was
there ever such a damning indict-
I rr.ent of inefficient officialdom as the
plea of 200,000 citizens to the Fed
eral Government for protection?
Witness their description of condi
tions there:
There has been for a long time in
the city of Chicago a colony of un
naturalized persons hostile to otir in
stitutions and laws, who have form
ed a super-government of their own
-—feudists, black-handers and mem
bers of the Mafia—who levy tribute
upon citizens and enforce collection
by terrorism, kidnapping and as
sassinations.
The story of 'Chicago's disgrace is
a story replete with details of the
glamourization of iniquity—of ela
borate kowtowing to gangsters, of
police.. officers attenoing bootleggens*
banquets, of despicable assassins set
1 tip ns heroes by the yellow press.
The golden coffin of Dion O’Bannion
and the steel vest of Martin Durkin
are symbols of the whole monstrous
scheme—a scheme which nas its re
flection in mi bridles] killings, in rob
beries, in bomb outrages, in brutal
I attacks;
Jurors have been taught by speedy
reprisal not to vote for the convic
tion of gunmen! The records of the
courts form a monotonous repetition
of acquitta's. Forty policemen have
been slain in line of duty during the
pact five years, vet only three men
have been hanged for the murders!
Chicago's lawlessness casts its
somber shadow over the surround
ing country for hundreds of miles.
Swarthy gangsters swar/n forth to
rob and kill, and then rush back to
the city for shelter and protection.
Once the pride of America, Chica
go has become the fetid breeding
place of crime. The city must purge
Itself of the vicious criminal larvae —
»0r consent to its being done by
others.
Two Rolls-Royces rested side by
side. Suddenly one of them twitched
violently and s'imt k a fender.

De.STANLEY M. RINEHART MRS. MARY ROBERTS RINEHART.' “
Mary Roberts Rinehart, master
weaver of mystery tales, has at
last been enmeshed in a mystery
she can’t fathom. The author who
has mystified breathless millions,
has herself been caught by the
age-old. inscrutable mystery of the
Lybian desert. It has snared her,
roped her, tangled her inextricably.
V'hat it is, or how or why it holds
her, she cannot explain but in the
current Hearst’s International-Cos
mopolitan she writes of her ex
periences.
Being an irrepressible individual,
Mrs. Rinehart found fun as well as
mystery in the desert wastes. She
even discovered how to master six
motions at one and the same time
while riding Dahabeah, her camel
mount, at the head of the caravan.
“I now know how they train
nautch girls,” she says. “They put
them on camels 1”
On her return from her desert
expedition. Mrs. Rinehart recount* .

It’S Refrigerator Time in Concord
i Are you planning to buy a new Refrigerator? If so, < *
| why not let us show you the “LEONARD CLEANA- !
| BLE?’’ The Refrigerator that will mean an investment
i to you instead of an expense.
; A refrigerator must be something more than a box '
| for ice and a place to store food. It must keep the food
cold and it must keep it cold by a constant circulation of 1
pure, dry air. It must also be so constructed that it can 1 !
| be ke Pt constantly clean, otherwise germs will gather and ! !
| not only destroy the food, but seriously menace the health 1 1
1 of the family. _ B
! No thoughtful person would like to waste ice, food or X
j the money it takes to buy them, so see the LEONARD**

cowboys on her dude ranch out ii
Montana. She told them how, fat -
in the desert wastes, she feastes
each evening on an elaborate sevee
course dinner; was regaled with
Scotch and soda, nuts, raisins an<
candy; slept on a real bed in a
tent carpeted with fine oriental
rugs and even bathed luxuriously
in water carried camel-back from
far oases. But the cowboys wera
sceptical. FrtC'kly, they didn’t
believe it
Mrs. Rinehart has written her
desort experiences under the titla
“Nomad’s Land,” a story of quaint
experiences amid strange and pic
turesque surroundings. But from 1 ’
her first experience aboard a camel
to her meeting with the galli-gallf
man, who conjured Dr. Rinehart’s
sapphire ring which had been
thrown far out into the desert into
the center of an uncut orange she
opened, she found a mystery and
mysticism she could not escape. T
