consideration promised by his maiesty's

This government has noted in this
contention a public statement of his
maJesty's prime minister siTr> of
petroleum affairs to the effect that the
san Reno agreement was based on the
principle that the concession granted
by the former Turkish government must
be honored. 1t would be reluctant to
assume that his majesty's government
has already undertaken to pass Judgment
upon the validity of concessionary claims
IN the regions concerned and to concede
validity to certain of these claims which
cover, apparently, the entire Mesopo-
tamian area. Indeed, this government

Of THREE NE|CHBORS

Assembly of Their Opposition
to Admission.

Geneva, Nov 25.-(By the Associated
ess).-Serbia. Rumania and Greece
Thursday formally notified the assembly
Of the League of Nations that they were
opposed to the admission OF Bulgaria into
the league.
After the membership committee had
decided to make all the new Russian
states wait for admission, and the
amendment and disarmament committees
had expressed themselves in favor of de
lay, the committee on economies and
finances decided that it would not act
at present on the suggestion of the
Brussels financial congress that com
mittee of financiers be chosen to lay
plans for an international credit insti-
tuition.
If the assembly approves the commit
tees decision. another international fl
nancial conference will be held mkt
year before anything is done on the sug-
gestions made at the Brussels confer
cnce. This is understood to be the nlan
advocated BY the British.
Austria is the only former state
which is likely to be admitted to the
league without serious opposition The

tee dealing with the application of Aus

DIGNITY VS.. COMMON FOLKS

Editor Star: The dignity that
hedges about county judge is pre-
cisely the same brand of official gloom
that envelopes a plain justice of the
peace. There are justices and JUS
tees. The late Hugh Miller, some
times alluded to a justice of the peace
as just-ass of the peace. But am ac-
quainted with number of justices in
Marion county, good men. all of them
entitled TO as much respect in their
official capacity as Judge Smith in
his, and none of them so enveloped in
dignity that they must be approached
through an ambassador. Plain people
who have entrusted any man with of
flee have not exactly invested him
with divinity, and due criticism of the
county judges court will not neces-
sarily put free man in Jail, nor will
any of US go to hell simply because
the county Judge has kindly given US
permission to do so, in an open letter
in a public print; a proceeding that
does not strike common people, who
are not county judges, as in keeping
with the alleged superabundance of
dignity of his Office, held only by vir-
tue. of the votes of said common folks
A number of representative citizens
of the county met with the county
commissioners and Judge Smith was
present at that meeting. My recol-
lection is that Judge Smith clearly
gave those gentlemen to understand
that he would impose Jail sentences in
all convictions in moonshine cases.
Perry Edwards, colored farmer, was
convicted on the evidence of the young
white scoundrel who murdered Guth-
cry, a notorious liar. Mabe Phillips,
a white man, was convicted on the
testimony of reliable witnesses, with
absolute proof. and on his own evil
dence. There is doubt about Perry's
guilt. There is none about Phillips
guilt. Under the law either could
have been sent on the road. The col
ored man was put on the road and the
white man was fined.
The county judge, in my opinion,
had the one opportunity that has pre-
sented itself to him i'm his whole life
of being of service to the people of
lips to the road gang would have put
an end, probably, to moonshining in
Marion county. A fine of Mabe Phil
lirs, in my opinion, has simply given
moonshining license. And as between
licensing moonshining by fining one of
The few caught and having open bar
rooms legally running. see but little
choice. with that choice in favor of
open bars.
The people of this county are en-
titled to protection above all in their
courts, and the cause of justice is sac
red. When any distinction, whatever,
is made between black and white, in
court of law, We all fall together.
So far as Mr.. Green's advice to the
court is concerned. and Mr.. Green's
own position, the single proposition,

CORRECT HISTORY

Editor Star: Mr.. Collier says the
council refused the A C. L. the priv
ilege of blocking certain streets with
tracks several years ago mainly be-
cause public sentiment was against"
the proposition. l was on the council
at the time and favored granting the
privilege 1t was my impression at
the time that the proposition was
turned down because an influential
citizen had recently had a cow or mule
killed by train and was not well dis
posed toward the railroad company
r. McConathy.

Elsewhere we publish criticism by
Mabry Phillips. 1t is severe-a little
too severe in some places. For in
stance, de do not think it has evef
been necessary to approach Judge
Smith thru an ambassador. We have
been in his Office on an average of five
days In the week since he began his
first term. and have never seen him
other than kind and courteous, dem
ocratie and inassuming. We have not
lost confidence in the judge because of
the Phillips case. He has been an ex-
cellent official during the seven and a
third years he has been in Office, and
we confidently expect him to finish out
his term as he has served heretofore.
If he was a candidate for reelection,
we would be supporting him, and this
Phillips case would not cause US to
withdraw our support. because we be-
liev he has done honestly what he be-
lieved to be right. and we never ex..
pect to see any man stay in Office
eight years without making mistakes.
Marion county will be in good luck If
William E. Smiths successor makes as
good a Judge as William E. Smith.
At the same time. Mr.. Nugent has
fairly expressed the opinion of our
citizens on Phillips sentence. Mr..
Nugent, as most of our people know,
has always been an uncompromising
advocate of justice, and in many years
of public service he has become well
posted on the law and sentiment of
the people of Marion. Moonshining is
crime that deserves more heavy
punishment than it receives. 1t should
be made penitentiary offense-the
general government has made it so
and the state should make it no less.
Had Mabe Phillips been convicted in
the United States court, he would
have gone to the penitentiary, and
justly so. A man who sells moonshine
knows that any quart he sells may be
an incentive to two of the worst of
crimes-that he may cause Grape to
be tied on a neighbours door, or cause
neighbours daughter to be outraged
There is no excuse for making the
stuff, and it will be whole lot safer
and more respectable to have the open
barroom with its thousand dollars a
year. license than a dozen or more Sec
ret stills with an occasional fine for
those who own or manage them. Any
man who makes moonshine-unless in
a very small quantity for his own
use-always makes it to sell, and a
man who sells it viii do anything
mean or lowdown. Mr.. Green. in his
letter to the Star yesterday, said that
Mabe Phillips has suffered more and
been disRraced more than Perry Ed
wards if he were to be sentenced fol
six months twice year for the next
ten years to serve on the hard road.
Well, we don't know. Law is not sup
posed to be served out that way. Ar
intelligent white man who makes
moonshine, counterfeits money, steals
or passes bad checks. has plenty OF
time to consider how it will feel to be
caught. The fact is. none of them ex-
poets to be caught. And when they
are they should be given lesson that
will impress them and warn others.

Nr. Green himself, viz: a sentence for
revenue, is sufficient. The people of
Marion county who voted down rev
enue from legal liquor selling, and
especially the women of our county,
who always suffer most, ought not to
be insulted by any proposition of rev.
enue from moonshining.
| am of the opinion Judge Smith
has made this county a better than
average county judge, but l certainly
do not endorse his position in the
Perry Edwards and Mabe Phillips
cases, nor do / think that / am neces-
sarily in danger of either Jail or
Hades. Respectfully,
