POLICE BLOCKED FIGHT ON
SEERS, SAYS PROSECUTOR

The police department came in for
a terrific scoring at the police graft
trial today when Asst. States Atty.
John Fleming opened the closing ar
guments for the state.
Incident to asking for a conviction
against Detective Sergts. Walter
O'Brien and VIM. Egan, he spoke in
such harsh words of the police that
attorney for the defense tried to get
the court to stop him. The court
permitted Fleming to continue.
THE clairvOyants daily sEindled
hundreds" said Fleming, "and when
an honest states attorney tried to
get the crooks he was hampered by
the police. Then rendered him no as
sistance, only got in his way"
ct took a strong and fearless man
to fight alone an organization like
the thieving crooks in the police de-
partment.
Fleming told of how the clairVoy-
ant crooks were aided by the loop
newspapers which ran ads which
Iured victims to a fleeing in their
paTlors. Some of the people who
trusted to the ads and visited the
seers were fieeced of everything they
had.
It is not likely that the case will
reach the jury before Monday.

NO PARDON FOR LATIMER

LAS long as am governor OF Mich
igan Irving Latimer will never be Civ
en- a pardon or parole" said Governor
Ferris Friday when asked whether he
would consider clemency for Jackson's
most famous lifer.
Reports had reached the executive
Offices that Latimer, who is living
a life sentence at Jackson for the
murder of his mother, was planning
to seek executive clemency from the
governor, but it is apparent that
Latimer will be given no consideration
by the present chief executive.
If there had been an electric chair
in Michigan at the time of Latimer's
conviction he certainly deserved that
fate" said the governor.
Governor Ferris is heartily opposed
to capital punishment, but the crime
for which Latimer was sentenced and
his subsequent murder of a prison
guard in an effort TO escape has con
WINGED him that Latimer is a man who
deserves no sympathy.

ADVANTAGES OF THE HIGH
SCHOOL

To the Editor of The New York Times
The best possible place for the av-
erage American boy and girl to be
prepared for college is the American
high school. Here the essentials OF
democracy are instilled along with
the less important book information.
Here the student is far more likely
to be compelled to learn, for there is
no fear of loss of tuition or fees In
too many high schools however, ath-
etics is now lowering the standard
of scholarship. exactly as it is doing
in too many colleges and universities.
IA high schools intra-mural athletics
should have place. Inter high-school
contests have proved their worthless
ness.
Amy regular four-year high-school
course should be accepted as giving
adequate training for college work.
The colleges are rapidly coming to
this position. The high schools should
insist on it. Many a lad receives his
first college impulse after three
years in high school Shall he be
compelled to study an additional year
or two before he will be admitted to
college, merely because he has not
taken college preparatory" course
Educational nonsense II is mental
training, not information. that should
admit to college. Yet information is
needed in life And soon, believe,
the time will come when no student
will be graduated from an American
high school unless he can use type
writer. That is the twentieth century
equivalent of the eighteenth century
quill. Every American boy and girl
should be taught to use it.
Military training in high school or
preparatory school? Never Keep
American youth from military ideals
as long as possible. In college, per-
haps, it is not bad TO train young men
to a familiarity with the use of arms;
with military formation, drill, and
discipline; but not in high school.
That is too impressionable an age
We wish the generations to become
generations of peace; we wish them
also able to care for the nation and
its heritage. But that training should
not be given until the easily nodded
years of youth have passed.

EVERY FARM A FACTORY

Every farm is a factory In every
state there are thousands of these
factores which need our best thought
and effort to make them productive.
These words from the title page of
a phamplet issued from the Agricul-
tural Extention Department of the
International Harvester Company are
full of significance not alone for the
farmer. but for the business man of
the city or town. for it is automatic
that the opportunity of the town lies
in the country, as the phamplet re-
ferred to also points out.
"The town is built on farm profits
on what farmers produce in excess of
their home needs. Towns are places to
store and distribute the worlds surplus
products through the channels of com
merce. There is but one road to per-
manent city building-that road leads
to the farm. When the harvest fields
smile, towns wax fat. and factories
increase the pay ron.
Every future and spot market in
the country, no matter in what il
deals. is today watching with intense
interest the reports from official and
unofficial sources as to the crop con-
ditions Manufacturers are planning
their autumn and winter campaigns
on the basis of crop prospects. Whole
salers and retailers are watching the
fields of grain and cotton and pota-
toes and what-not as they issue their
orders to statesmen and lay in their
socks. The wage-earner and his~wife
await the results of the farmers sea-
son with hopeful pleasure, knowing
that a fruitful year will lessen their
own economic burden and make il
possible for them to purchase things
which they have long had to deny
themselves or their family.
clay means beef and pork, which
beckon the packing house and storage
plant. More corn means cereal mills,
glucose factories, starch factories
Creameries follow the dairy COW. and
the truck patch calls for the canning
factory"
So the farm is the factory behind
our wealth. And it is in the fuller
recognition of this in recent years
that there is organized, cooperative
effort between the town man and the
country man TO see to it that the eff
cheney Of that factory is carried to
its highest. This effort takes various
forms. We see it in increased bank
facilities for the farmer, in the cham

ducts away from the home market.

PERCH ARE TABOOED
Cannot BE Served BY Hotels or
Restaurants

| After August oath, lake perch and
blue gills will be barred from the tab
les of the hotels and restaurants in
Michigan as regular article of the
menus. Perch, blue gills and wall
eyed pike are now i'm the same class
as the delectable brook trout, and if
one desires to enjoy either of these
species of the products Of the Michi-
or have a friend good enough to re-
member him after an angling trip.
The amendment to the law slipped
through the house of representatives
in the rush of the closing hours un-
noticed by members who would have
fought it to a finish had they been
present, and as it was, some of the
members opposed the measure, but
not hard enough. And now the official
digest of the state game laws con-
tains this clause:
"Wall-eyed pike. blue gills, sunfish,
perch, crappies and rock bass are now
protected fish, as we'll as all species of
trout and bass. These fish cannot be
bought or sold and hotel proprietors
and resort keepers are admonished
that neither these nor any other pro-
tected fish can be served TO guests
where a charge is made for the SER
vice, provided that fish caught by
guests may be served to them at their
request"
Perch to BE Rarity
From this it will be seen that fried
perch will be rare treat hereafter
1T is the most absurd law that
could be imagined" declared State
Senator Leonard d. Verdier when
he bill came to the senate
ought it as hard as | could and
several other seators were arrayed
against it. We thought we had beat
en- it for a time, but it finally went
through The act was inspired by the
people in the vicinity of the inland
lakes, which they claimed were be-
coming depleted of perch, although the
big lakes furnish them in unlimited
quantities"
Il did not know that the amend
ment had passed until after it became
a law" said Representative De Boer.
If had been there when it went
through | would have fought it. Now
it is up to US to sec that the law is
repealed at the next session"
Fight is Promised
Other members of the Legislature
from various sections of the state e.,-
press similar sentiments and it is q
sure thing that vigorous effort wni
be made to restore the favorite percn
to the hotel and restaurant tables at
the next session.
1t is conceded that while perch are
very desirable and popular article
Of diet, second only to brook trout,
bass, lake trout, and whitefsh, they
are in no sense a game fish. There is
no fish caught from the great lakes or
the inland lakes that are so plentiful
or so easily caught as perch and they
propagate very rapidly.
The digest of the state game laws
just issued by State Game and Fish
Warden Oates gives resume of the
laws regulating the taking of fish and
game and it was a surprise to thous-
ands to learn that perch and blue gills
were elevated to the class of brook
trout.
