**The flaying and flnjulattrig and
otherwise iarelining of Dr. Harry Garfleld.-'the
National Fuel Administrator,
la such a popular sport -with no closed
season, that I presume I am taking- a
good deal .for granted In. saying a word
in his defense and flying in the face
of popular opinion," said Dr. Harry A.
March, manager and owner of the comamy
playing at the Grand this weelc.
"In the first place, the term doctor
or the title, is only an honorary one.
Mr. Garfield la a lawyer and a very {
T' f?nma fmm fsmtmi. Ohio. !
which is near Cleveland, -where Mr.
Garfield was a leader at the legal bar.
My acquaintance with him began in a
peculiar -way which illustrates very
neatly- the -wide knowledge of Garfield.
He came down to Canton to represent
a railroad in a personal injury suit
brought by a dentist named Davis, who
had been injured in the back by a cut
, of cars striking him on an uniigbted
! street crossing at Minerva, Ohio. The
. Doctor was a very popular citizen and
j a number of very reputable pbysi!
clans were gammoned to tell the jury
I how serious were his injuries arid of
i such a permanent nature that he should
be well compensated by the railroad.
Tbe case started right after dinner
and at the end of tbe afternoon session,
Garfield had simply exercised
his right to cross-examine lay witnesses:
At the end of the session he
asked Judge Ambler, presiding, to
suggest a "young physician as tys medical
expert. The Judge suggested me
?qualifying by saying that I would
give my testimony as I found conditions
and not merely as a hired expert.
This suited Garfield who asked that
I be seat for.
"With the doctors for the prosecution I
we went over the injured dentist?j
I and teen we an went to our several ;
| homes. .After supper. Garfield and I I
; west into our- next book on anatomy j
j for an tour and a half?and then, he j
j was ready for the experts. The next j
j day lie put those doctors through the j
I greatest cross-examination I have ever
: heard. They were so impressed with !
| his knowledge of medical and, surgi;
cal terms that the oldest of the lot be;
licved that he ^iad been educated for j
; the medical profession. He twisted :
j them and he untied them and tied them
i up again. When he was through, there
wasn't much left to the medical side j
j of the rase?and this all as a result
i of an hour and a hairs study of the
j conditions aud the book on the anatomy
of the back. ' '
"It simply illustrates how quickly
' Gartield learns a subject and I will
prophecy right now?and J am not
j among those who think everything the
' National administration is either right
i or always judicious?that next season !
j Dr. Garfield will be acclaimed as the
| biggest single factor in the adminis\
tration. He learns so quickly and so
i thoroughly that I am compelled to be

Better File Tour Income
Tax Statement Before
Time Expires
PARKERSB UKG, March 22.-3. A.
Hays, internal revenue collector tor
We3t Virginia yesterday made the following
statement:
"Tax slackers win he prosecuted as
rigorously and relentless under the
war revenue act us draft slackers were
prosecuted under the selective serv
ice act. The aid or alleged citizens ;
Is invoked in bring to justice the man j
who deliberately seeks to evade his
just share ol the war burden.*'
This was the statement today of
Commissioner o' Interna} Revenue
Daniel C. Roper. With 'only a few j
days left to April 1 in which to file;
income tax returns, he has practically i
| completed the organization of & huge j
dragnet for bringing into camp all;
' persons who fail to file their returns !
i by April 1. Revenue officers in every:
I section of the country are checking!
j up returns with a view to beginning i
prosecutions against tax dodgers. The!
jrord has gone forth that such offen-j
ders need expect no leniency.
"Through its educational campaign
the Bureau of Internal Revenue ha's
endeavored to cover the field so thoroughly
that ignorance of the law coa-i
wot be consistently offered as an ex-j
case" said Commissioner Roper today, j
"The press, the foiir minute men. the j
State and County Councils of National j
defense*, the field force of the Deparl-!
meat of Agriculture and the govern-]
meat departments, banks, post offices '
and hundreds or volunteer agencies
have co-operated in bringing home to
the taxpayer his dtfty.
I "The man who failed to register un-';
! der the selective service act was re- i
garded b vthe War Department as a
slacker and prosecuted as such. The]
man who fails to file his income tax i
will be regarded as a "money slacker."!
aud when discovered, as he will be.'
will be made to suffer full penalties 1
of the law.
j "To the credit of the Nation it may j
j be said that I have gratifying and j
i conclusive evidence that those income j
] taxes will be paid by the great majors
i ity of the American people cheerfully
j and willingly. But the duty of the
honest man does not' end with the paymen
of his own tax. 1 call upon him
