The Memphis Commercial Appeal

ial space to a meeting between a cor
poration vice-president worth a mil
lion dollars and drawing a salary of
$4,000 year and young man in the
same office with nothing but his sal
AIRY Of 5000 month. They discussed
the high cost of living and the mil
lionaire asked the young man what
he paid for the tie he was wearing.
When the young fellow replied
three dollars, THE v.-P. said: "The
tie l have on cost me s1.0O. I pay no
more" The young man was discred-
tied in his argument but the million
aire came out with flying colors.
Let's see. There are ties that can not
be made and sold for a dollar. Is the

them and because millionaires are too
stingy to buy them. We have seen

cheaper than dollar ties. The argu-
nent in the editorial is a false one. so
far as the millionaire is concerned but
sensible as to the young man. Let
the millionaire buy the expensive
things-he is able to do so; but the

according to ability. The schinchy"
rich man is more to- condemned than
the extravagant poor.

FEAR VATICAN
is TO RULE
Senator Sherman's Speech In Opposic
tlon to League Of Nations
Points to Danger Of
Rome.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. !
WASHINGTON, June 20.-Fear
that the vatican will be restored to
organization of the league Of nations
was expressed today by Senator
Sherman, Illinois, in speech to the
senate.
Sherman, pointing out that twenty
four OF the forty nations which will
be members of the league adhere to
the Roman Catholic church, said the
vatican would be able to control their
votes In the league on political and
economic questions.
This, he intfmated, may endanger
religious liberty in the United States
and elsewhere.
From an early day." said Sher-
man, "the occupants Of the vatican
have believed, and still believe, in
the inherent right Of papal authority
to administer civil government
'It is with the utmost regret I fan
to find recorded in the course Of
papal claims of later days any re-
nunciation or disavowal Of the doc.
trine. So far as a layman can dis
cover the vatican still believes It
ought, and would, II the power per
mitted, assume to administer eccles-
tical and civil government.
"The vatican is most earnest ad-
vocate Of the league. With twenty
four of forty members OF It under
his spiritual sway, no extended argu-
ment would be required to coivince
him of its merit"

1t took the Jury just thirty-five min

guilty of violating city ordinance
when he piled some junk in the alley
at the rear of his place of business.
Schulz had pleaded guilty to the
charge in the superior court and "neh
no heard the sentence he was sorry
that he had acted so hastily.
He didn't like the idea of paying the
fine of 500 so he hired an attorney
and appealed to the district court.
When he got there he decided that
he was not guilty and undertook TO
prove it to the jury. But they seemed
to think that his first thought had
been the best one and agreed with II
that he was guilty.
Schulz introduced evidence to show
that he had used the thoroughfare
orly temporarily as he was unloading
end loading his wares. Then f"r
GOOD measure he undertook to con-
vince them that the alley was so
steep that 1t was never used anyway,
ana that even If he had piled his junk
there that he had never interferred
