Jt t o * applied in many it case but w pitiful m Judge Gowdy ap- pwursd on the witness sri&d in Pro* but* Court, sympathy could not be shown or expressed fo r the reason that o f all others whom, the public expect? faithful performance o f du- it is the men who preside in our courts. From another angle the situation was anything but pleasant to Mr. James 11. Watt, Xenia, who was com* pelled to go into court to force his one-time school friend and compan­ ion, Judge Gowdy, to account fo r property that had not been turned over to the heirs o f Elisabeth Lytle, as provided in her will. For scores of year? hack the elder Watts and -the Gojvdys were the best o f friends, and neighbors and in all these years no break' has ever come between them, until Judge Gowdy, as executor of the Lytle estate, took advantage of his own friend, and accorded him not only insulting treatment but had evaded every possible turn with, the protection .o f a form er Probate Court Judge, to withold property that*did not belong to him legally. Greene county has fo r the first time in her history recorded such a charge as stands in and out Of court against Judge Gowdy, The spectable o f a man "occupying the highest court in the. county being forced into a lower court to make accounting' fo r not only from a financial standpoint, but from a historical view. The last few years have added a number of chapters that would be better untold in the years to follow. It has not been so many years ago that the county treasurer under tid* faction was found short in his accounts by i state examiner. It will likely never be known how much graft he collected in adding to the tax bills o f tax pay­ ers. There was restitution and. then resignation to be followed by remov­ al from, the county, There are indications that the of­ fice of Probate Judge during the term ’o f Judge J. C, Marshall needs attention,, from what has been un covered of late. Sen. ( ? ) L. T. Marshall, o f Geiger- Jones fame, whose candidacy was given birth and nourished by a fo r­ mer Cincinnati liquor-lobbyist in. be half o f the- utility-interests in the state, has also brought its reward increased rates for telephones in the city o f Xenia, Marshall voted with the utility crowd to keep the present rate making board , ip power against the wishes o f the electorate in th ^ state. The stoby Of the chn’rge. o f the slush fund will be told -some day. Judge Gowdy>has not,-only brought disgrace on himself but his enmity. Having had the .experience o f having many a.man before the bar o f justice, the Judge is himself in court and in a pitiful plight before the bar. o f pub­ lic opinion in Greene couhty. With thp settlement o f the Lytle case he must also dispose o f the Poague trust fund. a trust, is without precedent not on-j ly in Greene county, but in mahy counties in the state. A general denial was made by the Judge, of course under the usual steps taken by attorneys for more time. It must have been heart breaking to the Judge when after refusing to present his bank book showing the deposits o f the estate, that the Court was for­ ced to order him to do so. Develop­ ments following examination o f the various items, since February 1924, brought out many things fa r dif­ ferent than what Judge Gowdy was contending. Judge Gowdy probably hurt his case more than anyone thing when he refused pointblank' to hove — -------- the bankbook balanced. Again Judge! , We note with satisfaction a sur- Wright had to order it balanced that cease from the wrangle between the that has been open ten years. A state examiner has been asked, for to in­ vestigate that fund'. The Worst o f all for the Judge comes the chance of charges that will lead to disbarment This almost unholy trio has taken political and court power in their hands to 1 force Greene countians to accept their dictations. We fear they have misjudged public sentiment. Bossism can only be - forced on the people -until .the public conscience has been ^wakened. This trio has mas­ queraded under the banner o f reform, and what a sham it has, been. THE SIMPLE FAITH the attorneya might get a t something as a basis' to work from. - Judge Gowdy’s answers to some of the Questions were evasive and far , poin t He seemed bewildered and Wes tangled at times and his •Own answers bordered on the stupid, I f Wife no wonder fo r the Cashier o f a Xenia bank, with bank records, was ghring far different light on the bank deposits, since the supposed final ac­ count was filed in 1§23. The humilia­ tion'! could hardly be imagined, a Judge Gowdy has not yet offered a reasonable excuse fo r holding this es- tAtbr, open nearly seven years. He failed to properly conduct the busi-. hsss Of the estate in refusing to an- swer jyegistered letters sent him by Mr, Watt, wheh the latter was a resi­ dent o f Chicago. The Judge has even refused, to admit that he has received such.-letters yet the poStoffice receipt s j& S * “for itself. The fa c t that he had in his posession nearly $500 to pifcjH-tahefcitance tax which was not lpildJfofc,tiiree years after the check alone condemn* him., Ad- aed"‘tt)*1tiiis the state o f Ohio placed a-pemdfcY’tmder law due to negligence ^ Jthatr' he had received other asSdtiktb’itimuestate since th a f “ final" 'afccirtftit, irw ily auswered by the fact thaf'thS'^bmganie^ have been paying dividends and-the checks aa cashed apeak foiytftemselves, irrespective o f ^Hrtdaipia* a i , i*r 6 bitbly Mr. Gowdy’s greatest blunder was on Monday, October I I , frhen he offered to settle with Mr. Watt, but not until he *Watt, would; sign ,a letter vindicating Mm, Gowdy,} o f any Wrong as charged. This Mr.- Watt refused to do. Last Friday Judge.' Gowdy filed an answer in Probate: Court to Mr. Watt’s action, denying, all charges—find-then On the follow­ ing day faced the most embarrassing questions ahd listened to testimony} from bank records; ' that disproved almost every claim Jud g e . Gowdy 'made. „ Mr. Watt has never at any time made Unreasonable demands. He ha* f only attempted to gain pOseesion. of; what was due the heirs under th* will, Of Course he will get all the, property fo r the belts—even though it takes another seven years. \ Politics has enabled Judge Gowdy* to put o ff the day o f settlement. It was previous to the time that Judge J. C, Marshall le ft the bench that a citation Was then asked fo r but Mr* Marshall never took Official action, Ho record can be found that Marshall ever made effort to force his political associate Into court that the affairs o f the state could be untangled. The cUtsanahip o f Greene county has its own opinion o f Marshall 1ft this one 0 « s « and. alto o f the $9,$00 debt ho saddled on his county in the guise o f skiing charity.

This does not mean that everyone who goes to church or pre­ tends that he is a Christian has fol­ lowed these rules. It does mean that enough people have followed them be­ cause o f their faith to lead humanity from * lower to a higher level o f con­ duct.

In those moments between the burning reality of day and the black actuality of night comes ryhat someone has called “ the hour o f the rose.” The world js warm and tired and pacific; the day is calm with the calm o f old age, , Heavy with earth O’ ofs the air drowses as twilight on the little grey feet creeps with the lengthening shadows. The hour o f the rose is an hour of 'meditation, and hour of vision, an hour when the spitk burns like a candle'-flame, straight and calm, ftnworried by the Winds o f toil, •It is * time of contemplation, Under an op«n sky, spread like a hand in benediction, it is good to sit and inwardly tot the days file by.
