REPUBLICAN, PARTY IS
UNDER FIRE

Dissensons in the republican ranks and the disposng of postwar problems are confirming the predictions of political wiseacres that the could perform.
 MT. Wilson had his troubles, but the trials and tribulations of MT. Harding have been accommodating ever since he took office, ard the end is not yet in sight. Whatever prestige the administration hoped to gain from the arms conference has been dimmed by squabbles over submarines and other factors and the diff culty of bringing about satisfactory agree ment between China and Japan.
 The arms conference has accomplished great deal that is worth while. It would be unfair and untrue to say it is failure but it cannot be denied that recent developments have created an unfortunate impression iA America and abroad, for which MT. Harding and the American delegates are not to blame.
 There are indications that the conference will not rebound to the credit of the republicans as much as they hoped it would. That impress sion will make itself felt at the polls. The poor showing made by the republicans in constructive legislation to get the country back to 'nor- malcy,' is also giving party leaders grave con cern and helping democratic prospects

Indian Mess Finally Ad-
Indicated by Interior
Department.

WASHINGTON-Secretary of the
Interior Fall has announced that he
had accepted the bid offered by the
Eagle-Pitcher Lead Company for lead
and zinc mining lease covering
Quapaw Indian lands in Ottawa coun-
ty, Oklahoma. The leases have been
the subject of much controversy and
the final action of the Interior De-
partment was awaited with interest
by mining interests.
The Eagle-Pitcher company had
leased the properties previously from
persons who made original con-
tracts with the Indian allottes. The
department found that the company
received seven teen and one-half per
cent from the operators and paid
twelve and one-half per cent to the
lessers of the first instance, who in
turn paid five per cent royalty to the
Indian owners. This system was con-
demned by officials. The successful
bidder offered flat royalty Of ten per
cent to the governments for the
Indians.

Ontario Embezzler Car
ries Skill to State
Prison.

ONTARIO--Al Chance, who as the
result of his embezzlement of funds
from the Boise Payette Lumber COM
pany here is serving a term at Salem,
broke into the front pages of all the
papers with his latest escapade.
Chance sold" to two of his guards,
a map of three caves in the bank of
Snake river near Glenns Ferry, giving
the alleged location of a cache of val
uables said by Chance to have been
placed there by Robert Leroy, who
was sent up from here for assault.
According to the deal arranged by
Chance the guards were to get the
valuables whose worth he placed at
$4,000, and were to give one-half to
Mrs. Chance. But the guards couldn't
find the cache. They did find the
caves and searched carefully the larg-
est in which the wealth was supposed
to be, but found it not. On their re-
turn to Salem one of the guards in
an unguarded moment told the warden
all about it. AS the result both
guards were dismissed, and Chance,
who had been prison bookkeeper and
trusty wearing civilian clothes in
the outer office, was sent back to
stripes and another job, according to
reports which have reached here.
The prison guards were not the
only one to whom such a map was
sold and similar story told. 1t is
said that at least one Ontario man
had spent some time making geo.
logical expeditions to Glenns Ferry
where he visited the caves.
According to rumors which have
reached Ontario, Chance sold his maps
for $500 each, and that instead of two
guards who fell for his salesmanship,
four were victims.

GRIMES CANNOT
Be S|DETRACKED
Washington at Loss over
Disposition of Herrin
Murder Situation.

Observation-Disclosures in
the coal and railroad strike and the
problems arising from them have oc-
cupied so much attention in Washing
ton that the Herrinmurders have APP
parently been pushed to one side. 1t is
the belief of men prominent in the
government, however, that the ques-
ton there raised is too vital to be
long forgotten and that either Illinois
or the United State Government must
take some drastic action before the
American people will allow the mat
ter to rest.
1t is pointed out that the condem-
nation, horror, and indigniton arous-
ed by the wholesale killing of Is, the
wounding of 81, and the disappear
ance of II workers, on June p, is not
confined to any one section of the
country. The press of the. United
States is practically a unit in its an
athmas upon the heads of those re-
sponsible, in disgust with the finding
of the coroner's jury, and in its de-
mand that justice be done A singifi-
cant fact, it is noted, is the absence
of much of any comment from labor
papers.
That the cause OF organized labor
has been dealt a powerful blow is
conceded on all sides; that the United
States Government must act if the
State of Illinois will not, is deman,
which comes from leading journals in
many States. If newspapers repre-
sent public opinion, then neither the
murderers nor the attempts to mini.
mize the affair have any sympathy
from the great bulk of Ameri cans.
Editorials from leading papers in
practically every State, and many
Provinces in Canada, voice so vche-
ment settlement for punishment for
the guilty, that as one Senator put it
