WHAT BARNUM SAID.
ANEW FINANCIAL wizard whose
career was a little less spectacu-
lar than that c the late lamented
Ponzi but whose operations were bas-
ed on the same principle has come
to grief. At one time a barber Signor
jaarciho became a manipulator of
banks and other big business institu-
tions nsing the money of other people
to finance his many big. deals. The
last report of him given to the public
was that he had probably suicided in
order that his creditors jruight realize
on his hundred thousand dollar life
iasurance policies.
The story points out the moral that
konesty is the best policy but it also
confirms the well known opinion of
the late P. T. Barnum. The people -like
to be humbugged. '
It makes little difference how many i
Ponzis and ilarcinos may come to
grief with their thousands of victim's
for the people are alts ays ready to
A
trn. over their hard-earned savings
to any other Ponzi or Marcino ' who
may happen along. It matters little
bow many wildcat oil companies may
go broke and lose the money of the
stockholders "new companies can al
ways be financed.
But money is not the only thing
about "which people like to be hum
bagged. Every new religion; every
ew -cure all remedy for disease
every new school of thought finds
suckers' a-plenty. Coueism spreads
like wildfire all over the country
people who never darken a church
door readily accept a new-fangled re-
ligion that comes from nowhere in
particular and is sponsored by no-
Dody. People who are ill or think
they are ill forget the big bill they
owe their family doctor and spend
real money for new-fangled cures of-
fered by any reformed taxi driver who
chooses to became a "healer." Bol-
shevism spreads over a continent and
even the sovereign electorate of the
greatest nation on earth turns its
government topsy-turvgy in a vain
hope that it may attain a shadowy
state known as normalcy.
"What a world what a world.
It is frequently pointed cut by op-
ponents of the Eighteenth Amendment
that the enforcement of prohibition is
costing too much money and getting
too little results. Mr. David Law-
Tence who has written a series of
'articles on the subject after spendin
considerable time investigating the
enforcement problem says that while
the total cost of the government's en
forcement work has been nine mil-
lions there has come into the hands
of the government fines compromis-
es boad forfeitures and similar sour-
ces .seven and three-quarter million
dollars. The.net cost of the enforce
ment work throughout the nation
therefore is a million and a quarter
fBiiallT. When one considers the
Tst territory to be policed by the
taforcement agents the difficulty that
added by the connivance of the
thirsty element of the. citizenship
-with the bootleggers and other diffl-
cttltie in be way enforcement of
tfce dry law the cost is not so large
M it looks. And the best part of it
it that it is orth all it costs.

"A Thing of Shreds and Patches"
One of the

Parson would
not name him
for the world
and will give
no clue to his
identity save
that his ini-
tials are E. M.
Boon asked

the Parson
whether or no the text
Paul nlanted.
Appolinaris watered but God gave the
increase' was correct The Parson
gave the only answer possible that is
that is that the quotation was incor-
rect. But since then a horrible suspi-
cion has seized upon the Parson and
he is threatened with nervous prostra-
tion. Was E. M. Boon stringing the
Pn renn
The Parson was glad to read and is
glad to quote the following extract
-from an article in the New York
Times of February 4. He does it with;
the more pleasure because it may
serve to vindicate the English from
the charge that they are cold and hard
to know. The writer says that he has
spent twenty years in England as an
alien resident that he has hadvall the
advantages of English educational fa
cilities at Oxford and elsewhere that
he has ben at nd tiisadi'afitase In va-
rious occupations because of his na
tionality and proceeds: "Social re
lations with Englishmen were just as
easy. A man whatever his race is
treated on his merits. He is accepted
or rejected according as hetfollows or
breaks the manners of his rank in so
ciety. An alien swill find more loyal
friends among Britains as a rule
than among his own countrymen. You
can always be sure of courteous treat
ment in the home of the Englishman
and lavish hospitality in that of a
Scotsman. They do not question you
about your country people customs
and traditions and thereby make yon
feel a stranger. They admit you to
all their amusements and amenities as
freely as they would one of them-
selves." All of which the Parson en
dorses both from practice and experi-j
ence. !
That was a terrible Indictment of
the time and the people which was
drawn the other day by Judge Towne.
It bears out and more than bears out
what the Parson has said again and
again about the default or miscarriage
of justice. The Parson holds no brief
for the lawyers. He realizes that
many of the technicalities so-called
originally devised for the protection of
persons accused against tyranny have
now become worse than useless. He
also realizes that there arc lawyers
who are utterly unscrupulous in their
use of these same technicalities whose
efforts are directed to the obtaining of
a verdict rather than to the obtain-
ing of justice even justice according
to law. But the Parson has contend-
ed and still contends that if men wish
to enjoy the privileges of freedom
they must undertake the duties of
freedom; that men of intelligence and
men of affaira must not be surprised
that they have difficulty In obtaining
justice while they refuse to bear their
part as jurors in the administration. of
justice. But kludge Towne goes much

that the miscarriage of justice is
largely due to deliberate perjury on
the part of witnesses?. If that be' no

We have improved all that. Out of the

often sit and think of you. Mother
daary when I am all alone.
For memory is the only friend the
grief can call its own.
Always with. a tinge of sadness close

Comos the old unquiet longing to see
my Mother once again.
She is gone but not forgotten never
shall her memory fade- .
Sweetest thoughts shall always linger
'round the grave where she is laid

you more and more
But still it brings us near the day
when parting comes no more .
The God who gave has taken and
Heaven my mother has won.
Although my heart is broken tho will
of God is done.

An Unexpected Bath
Public Opinion
East Depot and Fagg Street
To Tho Bulletin:
I want to make a brief statement
for the information of the general
public as to why East Depot street is
barricaded all this while' and the
completion of this street is not being
carried forward. And why Fagg
street or that section of Austin av-
enue from the subway to Ftek street
is not under actual construction.
These two questions iiave been asked
me so repeatedly I feel that the pub-
lic should be informed of reasons for
tho delay.
First since the scarifying of Depot
street tho freeze snow and incest
sant rains have kept thfe street so
wot that there has not been a day
.that it would have been possible to
roll this piece of street or complete
it for traffic.
Second; should traffic be turned on
this street as it is; it would become
rutted hard places and poekeis wonjd
occur that would not only bo a loas
of the work already done but would:
entail a heavy additional oxpeuse to
the City -of labcr and now material
it would make jicscssary tf be ap-
plied io overcome the damage to the
street if used in Us present stale. Had
I known what the weather conditions
wore going t0 be I would not have
begun this work until later but this
is something no one knows but I as-
sure you just as scon as the w ot
tiu'a street Is sulficientU' drv to re-
surr.c this work I will push the com-
pletion of th?s section of street 353
rapidly as possible.

AIM
to delay this work until Depot street
can be compelted and opened to traf
fic for it would add considerable to
the inconvenience of the public to
blockade both of the streets at the
same time. Therefore tis" soon as the
.'weather will permit ot the comple
tion of Depot street so it may be op-
ened to traffic I shall begin on. Aus-
tin Avenue j;nd while I fully realize
the closing of this section of street
will be a severe inconvenience to the
public. I feel sure you understand
tho necessity of closing the street
during the time of construction and
will ask that you continue to give
your hearty co-operation and be pa-
tient while this work is being done.
And I assure you on my part f if the
weather- will permit) that when this
work is Begun it will be expedited
in .every way possible in view of com
pletion In the very shortest time pos-
sible. Thanking you for your many ex-
pressions of commendation and co-
operatJon for these are the threads
of gold along the rough way of your
