The Argument of Money Money talks in tones of finality; the argument of cold cash] Overbears all sophistry; dollars as the outward signs of deeds rf calls insistent attention Sheriff theref cannot be refuted to those eight th T. Hodge t from the ’ Argumentatively armed with the receipt for this money, Sheriff Hodge may sit silent while his detractors shout i themselves hoarse and lash themselves into a frenzy con- i cerning the legality of the bake oven, the right to serve subpoenas and the personal control of the county jail. That receipt for $8,000, the first of its kind in existence in King } county, is sufficient answer to them all, It spells honesty th and efficiency, the prime requisites of an ideal public of- ficial. Contrast his predecessors usand d s turned over by Robert sioners as the © county ex profits accruing mty jail in r1onths this action Bob” Hodge with the deeds of Can you imagine any of the men who have of the incumbent turn-| held the office of sheriff up to the term ih ing over to the county $8,000 which they could just as well) Pf y and did put into their own pockets i The very thi ter.

Bob Hodge is a poor man, and the personal expenses incidental to his office consume all his salary. Under the law he could have rightfully and without the slightest question of legality kept for his own use the $2,000 derived from feeding federal prisoners. He could have kept this money and still have kept good his promise to the people; he could have kept this money and still considefed himself an honest man under the common standard df morality. But Bob Hodge is not the possessor of a common, double " dealing, dollar snitching conscience. He is instinct with honesty—real, manly honesty—that scorns technicalities. He lives up to principles of things, and not their descrip- tions and definitions, He has gone far enough now with j his office to realize that when he leaves it he will not be a dollar richer than when he was installed; he has been maligned and calumniated when he has been doing more for the taxpayers than any other sheriff in the history of the county. He has drunk the bitter cup of ingratitude, drop by drop. In spite of all this, he has never deviated a hair's breadth from the path of honest administration he mapped out for himself; he has never taken a penny that belonged by any right, interest or title to the taxpayer; he has been honest clear through. And the receipt he holds for $8,000 proves it ay and pockete tantar nt to pleading guilty While we admire Aviator Paul-}no crime, he is in urgent need of | han greatly. we can't help but fear some good, sensible advice. | that something unpleasant ts going t@ happen to him one of these days.
