Today Few Editorial Writers. C. H. K. Curtis Is Busy. Seven More Days, FI u r r y . “By Their Works ” By ARTHUR BRISBANE V_ J Frank Irvine Cobb died last week. He was a good editorial writer, knew how to say what he had to say and when to stop. How few editorial writers are known to the public. The fact that they don’t sign their writings has noth ing to do with it. Horace Gree ny did not sign his name, neither did Colonel Watterson. Churles A. Dana used to ask, “why is there no correspondent in Washington that anybody ever heard of?” Why are there so few editorial writers that anybody ever heard of? Cyrus H. K. Curtis was in New York yesterday, looking young and . vigorous, as though he had never done a day's work. He has just undertaken a little extra work by buying the New York Evening Tost. The sun has now entered the winter solstice, which ought to be the beginning of really cold weather. But in several places the weather was the warmest on rec ord since the weather bureau was born. What is more important to the average young man is this: There •re only seven days left of 1923 .after today, with two Sundays ;aken cut, only five days for working. In those five days not waiting 'or January 1, the wise young man might start good resolutions, and what’s more, start real thinking work, that would put him years .ahead of young gentlemen that will spend the nine days wonder ing how they can enjoy themselves or why they are not appreciated. The Methodist Episcopal church announces that it has gained 464, 100 members in the last four years. That’s an active church and prob ably holds the record. It sup ports 80 hospitals, 36 homes for dd people, 45 orphanages, 11 homes for working girls—worth n cold, cruel, hard money, $30, '00,000. The government railroad in Alaska ends at Nenana. From that point mails to Fairbanks are drawn by dogs, taking 20 days, v'ow the dogs will get a rest, and he letters will go flying in 4 hours. That’s progress. Moses with his friends wander 'd around the desert 40 years. Starting after a comfortable breakfast, flying machines would ■ave taken them ,t» the Land of Promise in time for luncheon. Moses surely is interested in '.Vilbur Wright, who helped his rother invent the flying machine nd is now in heaven. If you have an extra tear of hristmas sympathy, shed it for he poor “Henry Ford-for-Presi dent" boomers. They put in their me, perhaps a little money and nergy. They built hopes as high s the sky. Each wras careful to let Ford know what he was doing o make him president. And now’, n the midst of their high hopes, Mr. Ford says “I’m for Coolidge.” rt is just a3 though Christopher Columbus had said to Ferdinand . nd Isabelle and his uncle that upplied most of the money for his rip, “I have changed my mind; T am not going to sail.” The public, thanks to Senator Borah, will learn all about that dreadful Russian conspiracy to plant the red flag on the White louse. Already part of the horrible 'ruth has leaked out. A secret ■ervice man says that Russian '■ommunists, disguised as a liter ary society, met in a hall in Har lem. You don’t need to be told that, from such a meeting, it is only one step to seizing a nation of 10,000,000, and planting the bloody red flag on the White - louse. The people can never be grate *ul enough to Secretary Hughes .’or preventing that. Paul Re vgre, in his ride, the gentleman that carried the news from Ghent o Aix, or the Greek soldier who set the first marathon record, must make way for Charles Evans Hughes, who kept the red flag off he roof of the White House.

Klan operations, apparently, are not only applicable to Wymore, but to southern Gage county, for the posters state that the klan Is to "pay special attention to the hordes of darkened automobiles parked along our highways at night, and that li cense numbers are being noted and action will be taken." The posters are tacked on telephone poles up alley ways, and In front of many of the business buildings of Wymore, and at other places. » Cars Crasji Head-On; One Man in Hospital Willard Dye, Macedonia, la., is in the Mercy hospital suffering from shock and bruises whirh he received when his car crashed head-on Into a machine driven by Ed Peterson of Omaha.

Cass County People Now Realize 4 See Ends of Justice Served in $618 Spent for Investigation and Witness Fees—Judge Lauded for Calling in Outside Jurists to Hear Cases. Plattsmouth. Neb., Dec. 21.—At the conclusion of two weeks of sensation al testimony introduced in district court here as the aftermath of In dictments returned on November 28 by the first grand Jury convened in Cass county in 34 years, citizens gen erally are taking stock of the situa tion and reviewing the accomplish ments. When the grand*jury was called at the Instance of signed petitions circu lated throughout the county, there was considerable opposition, especial ly in the rural communities, where It was felt that an attempt was being made to air Plattsmouth grievances at the expense of the taxpayers of the county. Now, in the light of the start ling evidence of the past two weeks and with convictions on three of the Indictments already tried (one case having been halted In its midst because a prejudiced Juror was found amonf the 12 who had sworn to pass true judgment.on its merits) and with 11 remaining indictments to be brought to trial, thoso who urged the grand Jury as a remedy to existing conditions feel that their contention has been Justified, while many who complained merely of the expense have become converted to the opinion that the $818.10 allowed by the county commissioners at their session last week, representing the payroll of the Jury itself together with the fees of witnesses, has been money well spent. Of course, there are some who still hold to the opinion that the grand Jury was a piece of idiotic fallacy, but they are in the minority. Sheriff to Re Refried. The most regrettable Incident so fur has been the fact that It was necessary to halt the trial of Sheriff C. It. Quinton on a malfeasance of office charge. There is no feeling that the jury was purposely "fixed" but rather that It was a ease of over zealous friendship of the Juror, Henry Brockman, for Quinton, who pllor to being accepted for service had made statements that he would nut vote for the conviction of the sheriff regard less of the evidence, i This proven charge jvas too flagrant to be overlooked, and the case was dismissed fof retrial, being set ns the first on the calendar when the Jafiu ary term Is convened on the 15. All those connected with the case,regret this action became necessary, prob ably none more so than Sheriff Qufn ton hlrr.-self, who If he Is Innocent of the charges preferred should not long be deprived of his office, which is now held by K. P. Htewart, Bryan ap pointee. pending the outcome of the case against him. Judge James T. Begley, himself a resident of Plattsmnuth. felt front the first that the ends of justice could best be served by having the fine points of Inw ruled upon by someone not Acquainted with the parties and conditions existing In Cass county, and he called to sit with him on the cases already henrd, Judge I'. W. Hut ton of Fremont, who as the ruling Judge passed upon all objections raised during the first week, and Judge J. R Ha per of Pawnee city, who hnd complete jurisdiction over the cases of the pant week. However, so confident of Begley's Integrity were several of the defendants, that they moved the hearing of their cases before him, which he refused to do. (■ot Special Prosecutor, In another Instance has Judge Beg ley earned disinterested eommerida tion. When he found it necessary to name speelal prosecutors, he called III Attorney W. It Patrick of I’apll lion, a stranger to conditions here and a man with no personal axes to Absolutely Pure imported POMPEIAN OLIVE OIL Makes the most delicious mayonnaise and French dressing grind, who with Attorney D. O Dwyer, of this city, special prosecu tof before the grand jury, has han dled all prcisccfitiona with the ejtcep tlon of the Carl Q Frlcke embezzle ment case, which comes under the jurisdiction of the state banking board, where prosecution was In charge of Attorney W. T. Thompson, sent here from the office of the at torney general of Nebraska. So, it is generally belie ved by those Interested in fair play, that the ends of justice are being served In the best possible manner under the pres ent arrangement. With the close of the Fricks em bezzlement case, the jury panel has been dismissed for over the holidays, and it is highly improbable any n indictment cases will be heard, until the convening of the January terra of court. The result of the cases tried to date is as follows: Carl D. Quinton, sheriff, charged with malfeasance of office, trial halted at conclusion of second day and set for retrial. One other Indict ment, charging perjury. Is pending Constable William Grebe, assault charge, verdict of guilty. Three other Indictments, one#charging assault and two malfeasance of office, still pend ing. Evidence Man Acquitted.

Other pending Indictment* to com*1 to trial during the January term are four against Charles C. I’armete, two charging embezzlement and two forgery. Two other Indictments, one against County Attorney A. O. Cole for nl leged malfeasance of office, and one ^gainst J. W. Chilton for alleged ob taining of money under false pre tenses, were dismissed at the begin nlng of the present court term under authority of ft ruling by Judge Hut ton on technicalities In their wording Prank Damages Fremont Public Christmas Tree Fremont, Neb., Deo. 23.—Perpe trators of what was meant to be a practical Joke committed consider able damage when they carried a wooden »!tm representing a quarter of boef in tiie city park and hung on the branches of the municipal Christ mas tree erected for the Christmas day everclees.
