Introduced by Senator Mcclellan
of Tennessee, it provides, briefly,
that no alien whose country refuses

any interest in an American oil de-

1t also puts an embargo on ex-

HARLES t. dUGhEo, arguing
in the Supreme Court OF the
~ United States that the convic-
ton of Senator Truman IL. New
berry, of Michigan, should be set
aside, declared that it was a "gro-
tesque construction of the law" to
assert that Senator Newberry was
guilty of bribery because his family,
friends, and the committee promot-
ing his election spent several hun
dred thousand dollars to secure his
election.
The law limits the sum that a can
didate for United States Senator
may legally spend to $3.50. But
Mr.. Hughes told the court that the
Newberry committee, which was
said to have spent over half a mil
lion dollars, did nothing more than
illegally raise legal sum of money
for legal purpose" Senator New
berry himself did not do it and did
not order it done.
Mr.. Hughes has highly technical
legal mind. He has won many cases
on purely technical points
He persuaded our highest court
that our richest corporations could
distribute their profits in the form
of stock dividends, instead of pay
ing cash, and their shareholders thus
legally escape all liability for in
come tax on such dividends.
He again persuaded the highest
court that the Wooden Trust made

Jury returned against it for profit

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TINES:

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES:
have often read your editorials wherein you
expressed your opinion that you would like to
see the armies Of the future, to be working
armies developing in time of peace the natural
resources Of the country and opening up new
lands for the people. AS you well know certain
branches of the army are doing such work at all
times but the general public have the opinion
that there is nothing to do in the army but XIII
time. 1t is for that reason that would like to

PROBLEMS IN RELATIONSHIP.

Answering the recent relation puz-
gle OF the father-in-law marrying MS
daughter-in-law, "DINTY" says the
children by his son, who died, would
be his grandchildren and step-chl-
dren. His wife would also be his
daughter-in-law.
Mrs. w. L. J. has the same answer,
but notes that if the wife had sons
b. her second husband the boys
would be half brothers to Husband
No. ! and to the children OF NO. 1.
The No. children would also be
uncles to No. 1 children.
DINTY offers this problem in re-
lationship; a man with two sons and
a daughter marries a woman with
one daughter. The wife died and he
married the daughter of his wife.
They have two sons and daughter.

Such subtleties of eminent lawyers
when approved by our highest court,
explain the growing demand of the
public for social justice instead of
legal justice.
If Mr.. Hughes argument in the
Newberry case is sustained by the
Supreme Court, the moral purpose
of the Corrupt Practices act will be
defeated.
England has the best Corrupt
Practices act in the world. There
a candidate for office must designate
a committee or a manager to con-
duct his campaign and to pay all
expenses. Every penny of expendi-
lures has to be accounted for. If
any candidate, or any friend outside
Of that committee or manager, con-
tributes to his election SO much as
a farthing, his election can be de-
clared void upon proof of such ex-
penditure, unless it can be shown
that it was made by an opponent
or foe for the purpose of defeating
him.
In Michigan, Senator Newberry's
friends not only spent hundreds Of
thousands of dollars directly, in his
behalf, but they secretly financed
the campaign of an independent
Democratic opponent to divide the
anti-Newberry vote.
The decision of the Supreme Court
in this case is of the highest i'm
portance, because if individuals (or

unlimited money without risk to
their candidates title if elected, or
without faint upon his honor, the
efforts to purify our elections fail.
