gambling and racing are followed even

the Meserve fiasco, and succeeds in
clearing Mr.. Meserve - technically.
Without attempting to discourage Mr..
Aliens habit of falling into law, we
suggest that Judge Baxter has already
entered decision in the case, and, as
legal prosecution, it is closed incident.
If Mr.. Allen really desires to do Mr..
Meserve friendly turn, he might de-
scend from the bench and mount the
editorial tripod long enough to inform
slightly bewildered people whether or
not Mr.. Meserve is just man, simply
because the court had no jurisdiction,
complaint was filed in the wrong county,
funds absorbed had never been num-
bered among the states assets, or the
statute of limitations bars prosecution.
In none of these defenses is found a
cause for Mr.. Aliens denunciation of
the prosecution as malicious; in fact,
the very nature of the defense, and the
very wording of Mr. Aliens editorial,
damn Mr.. Meserve in the eyes of the
people, and place the ex-senator, ex-
