WASHINGTON, May l6,-Ten thou
sand miles Of travel through most Of
the states of the Union and with a
days visit in each of SO big cities gives
an observer an opportunity to make a
general survey Of the country on things
political and to arrive at certain con-
ciusions regarding public sentiment on
current questions, Editorial sentiment
is frequently a useful index OF public
opinion, but the conversation of editors,
business men, office holders, labor lead =
ers, social workers and friends In all
Walks OF lie who are given to under
sand at the outset that they are not to
be quoted brings out a frankness ami
a portrayal Of conditions which is as
nearly accurate as is humanity pos
sible
In this article are set down the I'm
preSsions which | obtained on such a
iQurney When 1t seemed in certain
states which had previously gone DEM
oeratic that the administration was in
disfavor, an analysis of those condi-
tionS was presented from day to day
just as in other sections sympathy with
the administration on important mat
ters of foreign policy was recorded.
But in editorials which have since ap-
peared in some Democratic news
papers, criticism is made that such re-
ports could be written only by one who
is hostile to the administration. The
reporters business Is to describe senti-
ment as he finds it irrespective of
whether II is harmful or helpful to
either political party.
IL the Democratic leaders do not want
to know what is wrong with the ma
tional patient, they may wake UP some
day to find out that he has selected
another physician, 1t is from their
viewpoint valuable TO know where mis-
takes have been made so that they may
be corrected while there Is still oppor-
tunity so that the election OF 1920 may

mo WHOLESALERS
INDICTED BY JURY

Presenting no indictments Of men be-
leved to be involved In the wholesale
importation and sales Of whisky In
Memphis and asserting that the mem
bers Of the Memphis police department
and county officers arc apparently un-
able TO cope with the Illicit sale of
liquor, the grand Jury Friday morning
made It's report, The grand jury urged
tho formation Of n vigilance committee
for the city and county which would
cooperate with the city and county
authorities in eliminating all dealers in
liquor and at the same time lessen the
widespread prevalence of pistol toters,
murderers and robbers.
The report of the grand jury was to
the effect that there is entirely too
much crime In the city and that pistol
carriers are largely responsible for the
killings, robberies and hodups which
have been recorded during the past few
months, Ten indictments on the charge
OF carrying a pistol were returned by
the jury
Not until the source Of the liquor sup
ply Is ferreted out and tho avenues OF
entry into the city are shut Off. will
tho Illicit sale of whisky in Memphis be
terminated, according to the jury's re-
port. That the police department and
the sheriffs officials have been unable
| 10 determine the source, or, having de-
termined 1t, have been derellct In their
! duty, was stressed In the report.
The theft OF automobiles in the city
and county also came in for its share OF
the censoring, The iurys report showed
total of 1886 automobiles stolen since
Jan. | and only six cases were brought
before the jury for consideration.
The new grand jury will not be named
| until Monday.
Frank Graham, Gilbert L. Jones, VIII
| Payne and Fred Dobbins, negroes, were
indicted on charge Of breaking box
car seals and the first three were in
| dicted on charges of carrying pistols
and housebreakinG and larceny They
were arrested at Arlington, Tenn, and
were charged with the robbery OF box
! cars and a store there.
