SHOW DIVISION after the filing
of their report on the matter of
charges filed against the county
court, Messrs. M. J. Brown, R. Schue
bel and S. L. Casto seem to have lost
that tie of brotherhood that bound
them so closely together in the com
mon cause of "frame-up" and dis
gruntled spleen. Particularly is Mr.
Brown getting tired of the voluminous
rampage against county officials, and
already is he showing signs of "'craw
fishing." The ether day in conversation with
H. L. Hull, commander of Meade
Post, G. A. R. a conversation'- in
which Sheriff E. T. Mass also took a
part this same Brown expressed his
real opinions of the agitation so care
fully fostered against Judge Beatie
and the county commissioners.
"I wish I hadn't gone into the
blame thing," said Brown. "But now
that I am in it, I suppose I've got to
stick."
And with these sentiments Brown
is sticking. It must be pleasant to
be a psuedo-reformer, and be forced
to half-heartedly plug along' at the
bidding of some guilding hand. The
cat that was forced to drag chest
nuts out of the fire for the monkey
doubtless wished it "hadn't gone in
to the blame thing," too; but a
stronger force kept it busy at its un
pleasant task.
Thus squirming unpleasantly in the
grip of some stronger power. Brown
is doing his level best to exhibit an
enthusiasm in the "frame-up," and is
making a mighty poor job of it. His
heart isn't in it, and he is beginning
American No velists Afraid They
Don't Know Enough
By SAMUEL HOPKINS ADAMS. Novelist
UR writers have learned
HANDY, as the Yankees say. They are craftsmen. They
know their trade, and when they begin to apply their tech
nical knowledge to big things we will have American novels
that will be as good as our short stories are now. If the men now liv
ing don't do it then the MEN WHO" COME AFTER THEM
WILL DO IT.
I BELIEVE WE ARE AFRAID AFRAID THAT WE OONT KNOW
ENOUGH. THE FIELD IS SO VAST AND THE MATERIAL SO SCAT-
INTO .TUC . MAM s-m. .. '. ' '' i
Yon see, we are living closer to our materials than did the novelist?
of the past days. We are nearer the remote social factors than tin
great English novelists were. They wrote of what they heard, and wi
have such facilities that to keep our consciences right WE MUS I
WRITE ONLY OF WHAT WE SEE.
And that's h good thing to do. One of the worst things that :i
happen is the formation of a "literary class" the class of writers wli.
tbink they are writing about things when they are really only WRIT
"ENG ABOUT THE SHADOW OF THINGS. The writer of t
day has probably a wider circle of acquaintances than any writers ii
history (unless we except the ancient Greeks), and it takes a pretty
brash person to sit down and write a novel about a thing that he does
not know thoroughly.

to see the rank injustice of the thing.
So, when he is forced to publish the
report of the "committee of three,"
he breaks into it to expose its weak
nesses and fallacies in the following
words:
"In fairness to all, the Courier
wishes to interrupt the report at this
point to say that since the report was
made several taxpayers have reported
to this office that Mr. Lazelle's dis
trict had received practically all of
its one-third of the tax; that he has
no just cause for complaint as to the
rest of the money, and that the bal
ance is being held up because the tax
payers of the other parts of the dis
trict want it held up. Tfie committee
had not time to investigate this mat
ter and many other like complaints,
further than the official records bore
them out Editor."
"The committee had not time to
investigate this matter and many oth
er like complaints." What an admis
sion! The committee of three had
not time to investigate "many other
like complaints." ' Of course, they
had no time, those who participate in
a "frame-up" seldom have time for
anything else. But the report sub
mitted to the Live Wires by Messrs.
Eby and Loder shows .that the com
mittee had time to investigate some
complaints that it found groundless
and finding them groundless, the val
iant trio selected to head the "frame
up" had not even the manhood and
courage to say that some of the com
plaints were groundless.
It is too bad for the sake of the
"frame-up" that Brown wished he
"hadn't gone into the blame thing,"
and then let this wish inadvertently
force him to make ' the admission
"the committee had not time .to in
vestigate this matter and many other
like complaints."
