There have been o many rumors floating in the air and budding along the curbstone, that it was well to have the atmosphere cleared. There is no doubt that the may- or's investigator made exaggerated statements regarding his mission and the authority he had. It is sald that in one instance he told a wom- an he was “from the mayor'ts of- fice.” This may have been literally true because he may have left the mayor's office before interviewing her. Whether he was a direct emissary of the mayor depemnds on the authority with which thé may- or clothed him. It is generally be- lieved that the mayor was tpo gul- lible and that he was used by an art- ful person whose motives were not of the highest. Intimates of Mayor Paonessa say they admire him for his independ- ence and for loyalty to his friends. » | They also credit him with being sincere and with having a deep sense of responsibility, But they say that in his eagerness to serve well in of- fice, he is Inclined to listen too at- tentively to the whisperings of those who have axes to grind but who are <killful in concealing this fact. He {akes rumors seriously, it is said, and does not weigh the storles brought to him judicially to deter- mine whether they are founded on commion sense. As a result he fre- quently takes steps which he would not take if he had complete infor- mation on all facts. Many men in public office have too much confidence in those who are close to them. They accept as true everything which is brought to their attention by men who pose as their friends, not taking account of human nature and not realizing that a man in office must look for the axe to grind or the brunette gentle- man in the wood pile when some- one comes to them and starts off with “I've got this straight.” When an investigation is desired it is eometimes preferable to bring in | from other places men who have no .‘MJ on local” matters and who weigh all evidence impartially. But it scldom pays to_engage volunteer detectives whosé only Dbasis for arling an investigation is vague rumors and who have no interest righting wrongs. “Look be- " can be expressed in “Investigate your in- vestigators.” ¥or the bepefit of those seckers after immortal - fame through authorship and who are unabie to procure the $3.98 with which to buy the In-a-Jiffy Scenario Course, postpaid and bound with gold thread, we list below a few plays and incidents which a self-respecting | scenarist will never, never use in | the course of a leng life of writing: In a western drama, the cattle {hieves make a successful get-away with the big herd, the heroine's horse stumbles and she is trampled to death Dby the thundering long- horns, and, when the hero has fin- ally beaten the villain into submis- | sion and the latter pulls a gun, said | {gun fails to jam. r | The jazz baby makes a cake-eat-| ing finale-hopper out of the big strong man from the diamond fields of South Africa. | The rising young lawyer loses, by | one vote, his fight for election as| district attorney.

He's the man they talk about when some- one’s running for president.” This incident may never have oc- curred but it serves to show just how much thought the people at large give to the Great Emancipa- tor, It is almost true that Lincoln is the man politicians hold up as an example of righteousness before elections — and then drop like a hot poker. He is the handiest wea- pon the republican party has. He is quoted froni one end of the coun- try to the other when a presiden- tial campaign s under way, but after the votes are counted Lincoln is put back in his sarcophagus for well as his precepts, are forgotten. 1f Abraham Lincoln was as great a man as historians say he wag he deserves greater recognition on the anniversary of his birth than is ac- corded him. One might turn the pages of history to their very end and find no greater citizen of the world than the President whom an assassin’'s bullet brought down in Ford's theater. He was one of the truly elect of mankind, a man of destiny set aside by the hand of the Almighty, it seems, to stand at the helm of the ship of state in a na- tional crisis. The strongest part of his nature was humility. Respect for his fellow men guided his every acfion. His heart throbbed in unison with the hearts of others laboring under the burdens of the world and he felt deeply for those who were affilicted. #fe was every inch a man. Tt seems that the country could afford to devote a greater part of February 12 to honoring this illus- trious mortal, who earned the love of his fellow ecitizens and the re- spect of other nations, It is true that an effort is made in the schools to implant in the minds of children the attributes which made Lincoln respected, FEditorial writers also de- vote their talents to calling atten- tion to his deserved laurels. With these cxceptions, little attention is paid to the anniversary of his birth. 1Is it possible that a great nation is going to allow one of its most il- lustrious men to go wnhonored and unsung? Occasionally we listen to the har- nony of the press agent's lyre and njoy it. Most of the time we reach for the black and blue — the black crepe with which to adorn his re- marks and the blue pencil to sign his death warrant, But up from the bubbling South, from the office of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, comes a screed which intrigues our interest, even if no attempt is made to cam- ouflage it as “news” instead of what it is, propaganda. It concerns the cottonseed products industry and the strides it is making in racing the old reliable pig for supremacy. For the purpose of this screed is to prove that cottonseed oil is more de- sirable than lard for cooking. We shall not attempt to contradict the ! assertion nor to defend the pig. ‘Take it from the Atlanta Cham- ber of Commerce, last year catton- seed products had a value of $275,- 000,000, which, we should say, is a respectable sum, one to which we would tip our hat if we met it on the street. More than one and one- half billion pounds of cottonseed oil are produced annually in the South, It the pig ever reads this he will squel with envy. And all this al- wiost overnight. A few years ago cottonseed couldn’'t be given away. Cotton raisers didn't know what to do with it. Next to the boll weevil, it was their greatest problem. It was so plentiful that it was dumped | into the rivers and it was necessary in some cotfon raising stdtes to en- act legislation governing the dis- posal of this waste. Then it was discovered that cottonseed produce a very acceptable oil for cooking purposes, and the situation changed. The statutes regarding the B¢ the “waste” became in e because out of the “waste” was squeezed a golden drug story and, get some liver —Mrs."A. O. Bauer.

Va,, Feb. 14.—The plight of Floyd Collins, whose fate in his underground tomb at Cave City, Ky., is being speculated upon by millions of persons, has recalled to old residents here a cave tragedy of 30 years ago. The victim was John Goshorn, un- able to marry the girl of his choice because of his poverty, Goshoy left his job In a country store an went to Tennessee wheie he heard of a mountain cave supposed to con- tain vast silver deposits. With 10 days' rations, he started into the cave, ‘Weeks passed and he did not re- appear. Finally his brother, “Bill Dave” Goshorn, organized a posse and started into the cafe after him. Several hundred feet underground they came to a steep cliff, which they descende® by means of a rope.. At its foot the posse found Goshorn’s body. He evidently had died after a fall. The only silver the posse found in ¢|the cave was in the frame of a ple- ture of his sweetheart that Goshorn clutched in his lifeless hand. DOOMSDAY SEERESS DENIES ANY PROFIT Tells Prosecutor She Made No Money From Her End of World Predictions T.08 Angeles, Cal, Feb. 14.—Mrs, Margaret W. Rowen, Hollywoad seeress, made no financial - profit from ker end of the world prophecy, which failed to materialize last Fri- day, the city prosecutor's office has been assured by Dr. B. E. Fullmer her chief adviser. Dr. Fullmer and W. Andrews, at- torney for Mrs., Rowen, called on the prosecutor yesterday in response to his request for information con- cerning donations made to Mrs. Rowen by believers in her predic- tions that February 6 would see the end of the world. “Mrs. Rowen never has made a cent out of her church work,” said Dr. Fullmer. She has been sup- ported by her husband, a working man, and still ig being supported by him. She has no property of great value. None of the property of the church (Reformed Seventh Day Ad- ventists) is in her narhe. “As to the allegations that a group under the leadership of Rob- ert Reidt had turned over all their property to Mrs. Rowen,” Fullmer added, “let me say that they have contributed less than $100.” The doctor explained that Mrs. Rowen preferred to remain in se- clusion for the present, due to doz- ens of threatening letters sent to her. Tnquiry into the doomsday prophecy will be continued Mogday. DIES AT AGE OF 86 London, Feb. 14.—The Rev. Wm.
