Dear Editor:
Mell Ed. I’mina pretty pickle now and I have no one to blame but
myself. Like a fool I told the missus I had been playing the cotton market
and she went right straight up in the air.
The fact that I lost only $5 on the whole speculation doesn’t mean a
thing on earth to her. It’s not the amount, she says, it’s the principle of
the thing.
I tried to tell her if we had not sold when we did I would have lost the
entire $-00 I had invested, but I might as well try to reason with a
blizzard.
But I deserve what I’m getting. I should have known she would boil
over when she found out about it. If I had kept my mouth shut she
would have been none the wiser. When I realized what a narrow escape
I had from being cleaned out I couldn't help feeling a little puffed up
about my good luck and the I spilled the beans.
Of course, I couldn’t be content with getting just one foot into it. I
had to tangle them both. When I saw she was so angry I thought I
would smooth things over.
“You have no reason to be so put out,” I said. "You’re right there
when it comes to jumping at conclusions. But I might say I intended to
take whatever profit I made out of the deal and give it to you for a
Christmas prsent."
Ies,” she sneered, "that's easy enough to say now when you didn't
make anything. I suppose if you find a $10 bill on the street between now
and Christmas 501111 put that on the Christmas tree for me, too. Don't
think I'm so dumb I can't see through your pretty little story. I can
read you like a book."
Well, I replied, “so far ns I'm concerned you can consider the
reading lesson over."
The State's Debt To Luther Bishop
N/URDER never should go unpunished, although in this land
IVlof indifferent law enforcement, that too often happens. Yet
the murder of Luther Bishop, state detective, is one to spur
police to supreme efforts that justice may be done. This man
had devoted years of his life to upholding law in the state. In
that service he risked his life repeatedly, and demonstrated such
courage and ability that he deserves the gratitude of the people.
He helped to rid this city and this state of crooks and bandits
and bad men generally. A fearless man, he was slain while
asleep by some cowardly assassin who would have feared to face

must see that the guilty pays the penalty for that foul crime.
Moreover, the slate owes it to society to see that Bishop is
avenged as the law provides. Unless courageous officers are thus
upheld, we cannot hope to develop and maintain efficient police
power. I ho.-" shots that riddled the detective’s body, were
aimed at established authority. If peace officers may be shot
with impunity, we need not expect such courageous devotion to
duty as Luther Bishop gave. The morale that makes for strength
in government will be weakened, unless the murderer is brought
to justice.
"5 I here are flaws enough in our law enforcement; so many
that we should be the more appreciative of such an officer as
Bishop was. 1 he state should leave no doubt that his gallant
record is remembered and upheld. The very nature of the crime,
this murder of a man as he slept, without a chance to defend
himself, makes it more revolting than most murders. Only by
punishment of the guilty can the state pay its debt to Luther
Bishop.
