local officers are convinced that the two
men were not even acquainted Inspector
MCGEE would not divulge the Identity OF
the experts to whom he submitted the
ha ndwriting In the Smith case, nor would
he express their opinion In the matter,
his decision with regard to retaining
Smith In jail until the next federal grand
jury convenes does not coincide with the
belief OF the local officers that all OF the
blackmail letters were written by Mar
tin.
While the Salt Lake postoffice official
was In San Francisco with samples of
Smiths handwriting. Inspector Ralph
Smith and T. r. Fitch returned TO Dem
yer with blackhand letters and samples
OF Martins handwriting for the purpose
OF obtaining expert opinion. 1t was re-
ported at the time OF Inspector McGee's
departure for San Fra ncisco that his In
vestgatoD would be unfavorable to the
government case now pending against
Smith. but that official upon his visit to
Ogden today refused to make that admis-
sion.
Since the arrest Of Martin, and espe-
cially since the filing OF the formal COM
ploint against the man. the local officers
have become very reticent regarding the
amount and nature Of the evidence against
the man. They assert that the large re-
ward offered for the capture Of the black
rnailers has caused many persons to in
ject themselves into the case on the
grounds that they have incriminating
evidence but a majority Of these will
never be called to the witness stand, ec-
cording to Chief Norton.

SOUTHERN BALLAD COLLECTING

James NJ. Granger, OF Farmvllle writing In
the Virginia Journal Of Education. urges the
teachers of Virginia to enter the work of collect
ing specimens of the ballads of Virginia, move
ment started by Professor C. Alphonso Smith, OF
the University of Virginia 81 believe" writes
Mr. Granger. that they will not only find In it
both pleasure and benefit to themselves but they
will give more help to the movement and can
secure quicker results than can be secured by
any other means"
No one who has read what Professor Smith has
to say of his work In this direction and has read
the interesting accounts of his discoveries. pub
lshed some weeks ago in The Tirginidn, can fail
to be satisfied that any lover of literature, folk
songs and wayside bits Of history will find great
interest in the work.
Mr.. Granger points out the peculiar fact that
while an American, Professor Francis G. Child
of Harvard, has made probably the greatest col
lection Of English and Scottish ballads, the field
in this country, and especially in the Southern
States, is practically unexplored only within
comparatively recent years" he says, have
scholars awakened to the realization that Amer
lea offers field for collecting survivals OF these
same English and Scottish ballads which Is
little inferior in richness and interest to the
old country ITSELF He then continues:
English and Scottish emigrants of the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries brought to this
country memories OF the old song-stories On
the remote outlying frontiers or in secluded
mountain sections, where many OF these people
have preserved the same state OF civilization
, with which they left the mother country, they
have handed down from generation to genera

sponsors bad names should not be blamed too
much. 1t Is the way Of mankind and has been
the way of mankind since long before recorded

what he has done, even II he has fallen to
the level of dickering with Charlie Murphy
has nothing 70 do with the question of primary
or no primary. That Suzer Is demagogue
does not make the convention system OF nomi-
mating candidates desirable and that he is a
patriot and statesman does not make 1t unde-
sirabe. Sulzer is important only in so far
he succeeds or fails in his efforts. II he
succeeds he will receive all the credit due him.
If he fails he will become the target of still
more shafts OF ridcule and abuse but direct
primaries will still be the best method or the
worse method of nominating candidates. as the
case may be. The issue is one OF principles: not
one Of personalities. New York politicians can
