WHERE IGNORANCE IS WISE I think I love my fellow men, I often In my day Have set them on the road again.

When they have gone astray. I know that most of them go wrong From lack of love and books, -Tet I confess I am not strong For educating crooks. The bandit In his ignorance. The yegg of low degree; Who never had the slightest chanes To learn the rule of three. The burglar, who is sad because He has but native wit.

Can notwithstanding break' the laws And get away with It To these men modern lore Impart, Their eager minds to fill. Instruct them in the chemist's art And engineering skill. Let them continue to advance Until they are set free. And then just figure out what chance There'd be lor you and me! If after lads like these are caught They find confinement irks, I'd not object to have them taught i rom Mrs. Alcolt's works.

But these are almost all the books I ever would allow. The trouble Is with modern crooks They know too blamed much now! MS SHALL GETPAY Legality of Prosecutor's Ap pointment of Deputies Is Questioned Letter requesting sn opinion-" by District Attorney George H. John son of the legality of issuing salary warrants to James L. King and Robert W. Daniels, deputy district attorneys, was addressed to the prosecutor yesterday Vincent L.

Roth, county auditor. Specifically, the auditor asks whether Mr. King and Mr. Daniels. neither of whom have resided in the county for a year, are legally entitled to draw salary warrants.

Mr. Johnson aald yesterday that he has not yet received Mr. Roth's request for an opinion. The district attorney is the county's legal advisor, hence the request for his opinion in the case. Issus Bused When Appointments Announced The question of whether the coun ty or state law requires that an appointee as a deputy officer be an elector in legal terms, a resident of the county for a year and thereby entitled to vote was unofficial ly raised when Mr.

Johnson announced the appointment of Mr. King and Mr. Daniels late in December. Mr. Johnson, It Is apparent by the appointments, holds that the law does not require that the appointees must have resided In the county for a year previous to their appoint ment as his deputies.

Appointees Are In Active Work Another point raised unofficially is whether the county charter conflicts with the state law. Th question was widely discussed by attorneys when Mr. Johnson's appointments were announced. Mr. King and Mr.

Daniels are actively engaged In representing the state in prosecutions.
