Carter Testifies in Suit for Defrauding
Government.
Chicago, Dec. 2.—Oberlin M. Carter, the
former army officer, who is now defend-
ing himself against charges of defraud-
ing the government out of millions of
dollars, testified before Special Exam-
iner Burgoyne that he had many times
saved the government thousands of dol-
lars in letting contracts at Savannah.
Carter in his testimony declared that
In letting one contract to Greene and
Gaynor, the form insisted upon by him
saved the government $275,000. Carter
produced evidence purporting to substan-
tiate this declaration. 4
He also declared that the trouble in
which he became involved was started by
an army officer who, he asserted, is even
now stirring up trouble among army of-
ficials in Philadelphia.
Carter declared that this man endeav-
ored to force a new scheme for construc-
tion upon the government and that he,
Carter, refused to approve it.

Yoakum TimeA.
Did it ever occur to you that you pos-
sessed an immense fortune if you owned
but one sincere, sympathetic friend?
Some one to whom you could go with
tales of yourself, without fear of harsh
criticism? Try to number just how many
people to whom you sustain this intimate
relation, and It will propably dwindle to
one or two. You are to be congratulated
if even that is the case, for while you
may know a hundred people who appeal
to you in one specific mood, you may
not know one in whose loving sympathy
and unbiased discretion you can place a
simple, unquestioning, fearless trust.

DIFFERED WITH PRESIDENT.
Honey Grove Citizen.
There is a difference between the presi-
dent and the almanacs this year as to
when Thanksgiving day comes. The
president has issued his proclamation
proclaiming Thursday, Nov. 30, as the
annual day of thanksgiving, while the
almanac has set Thursday, Nov. 23, for
that event. We are somewhat at a loss
to know just which day to celebrate, but
to be sure that we get the right one we
may celebrate both, provided we can get
two turkeys, but if we can’t get the
turkeys with the necessary trimmings we
may not celebrate either.

The trend of the modern novel in its
effort for public approval, or, rather, the
public cash, is departing rather too far
from safe limits and is steering danger-
ously near immoral waters. That light
literature has a peculiar place as a moral
perceptor makes it all the more impor-
tant that its’field be safeguarded against
a contamination which through it will
affect the lives and homes of our land.
Mr. Basil Tozer, in a recent utterance
the modern English novel, produces
some facts which are really startling in
their nature. He says: “Today there
may be said to be comparatively few
school girls well in their teens who would
not smile at the thought of exception be-
ing taken to anything Ouida ever wrote.
Nor is this to be wondered at if you come
to look into the class of fiction that the
school girl has been devouring, either
with or without the consent of her
guardian, for the past few years,
out of eighty-seven selected novels that
I have by me at this moment, and that
have been published within the last three
years and a half—books that have had
considerable vogue, and have all, at one
time or another, been obtainable at the
circulating libraries—seventeen adopt the
attitude of sneering at matrimony as a
thing ‘played out,’ eleven raise upon a
pinnacle imaginary co-respondents in
imaginary divorce cases, twenty-two
practically advocate that married
shall be allowed to keep mistresses open-
ly, seven hold up to ridicule the woman
who is faithful to her husband, and
twenty-three describe seduction as openly
as it can be described in a book that is
not to be ostracized by the bookstalls.”
While public censorship is repulsive to
American ideas, it would seem rather
hard to each day throw an additional
burden upon the parent or the guardian
who, as it now stands, has his time fully
occupied in the endeavor to bring up a
child who shall be a credit to his land.
The home influence may be all that could
be desired, the child’s environment ele-
vating and purifying, but the subtle
poison of a tainted narrative, told in fas-
cinating lines, wields an influence the ex-
tent of which no man can measure.
The book publisher, ^hen confronted
by an accusation of his departure from
moral rectitude in this connection, falls
back on the hackneyed defense that he

the demand—if a perverted taste can be
dignified—has been built up by the
