A DIFFICULT CASE

Mob action is one of The worst possible evils,
but like ether abuses it has its cause which must
be removed before the cure can be effected. The
case recently reported from Ocnlulgee, Okla, is
very instructive example. In that case it ap-
pears, the grand jury was investigating the affairs
of defunct bank, in tie smash up of which
great many citizens lest their savings. The judge
and prosecuting attorney seemed to favo: the
wreckers, and when the jury was about to return
indictments the court suddenly discovered that
there had been some irregularities in empanoGng it
ard dismissed The jurors, thus stopping the IL
vcsigation. Public indignation Jared UP to such
pitch that the judge ordered to &c! ou' o? the
country, and the prosecutor was seized Ky q hand

streets and compelled 10 make an address 10 The

the law.
Without raising any question as TO the trulh
of the charges against the court in hi: Particular
case, we all know ihat such things occur Ia every
walk CT official life. The representative Of some

Quoting his official affairs in model way, and

And what Can you do3 Those predatory IL
tercsts always select men of geaal temperament,
generally with concct morals, who are plaus-
ible takers and good vote geters. With a long
record Of approved service to his credit, such an
officer can indignantly dcncunce those who charge

Meeting Say Move Is

Washington, Dec. World
problems-economic and political
had a dominant place in the dis
Cussion at the lecturers confer
ence on public opinion and world
peace, which was convened here
today by the International Lyceum
and Chautauqua association. Vari-
Gus solutions were advanced, with
some of the principal speakers
contending that a guarantee to
France against possible German
aggression was the first essential
step in getting the nations of the
world back on the road to normal
commercial relations,
The view of NJ Clemenceau, for
mer French premier, on this sub
ject will be presented to the con-
ference tomorrow in the only ad-
dress the distinguished French vis-
istor is to deliver during his four
days stay in Washington.
President Harding, in a letter
Of welcome read at the opening
of the conference, expressed the
wish that this beginning might
point the way towards new ad-
vance into the light of under
standing, by which alone We would
safely lay our course in such times
as those in which we live" He de-
clared the conference suggested "a
certain parallel to the intellectual
movements in which the universi-
ties of Europe were founded and
the renewance of learning, and
humane in its beginning"
Tho guarantees for France were
first suggested to the conference
by Harold G.. Moulton, professor
Of political economy at Chicago
university, and emphasized in an
address by Edward T.. Filene OF
Boston, former president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. MIR. Moultou was
discussing the necessity for the
balancing Of national budgets, and
contended that this could not be
accomplished until there was world
disarmament.
Asserting that the road to dis
armament obviously was through
Paris, Mr.. Moulton said this coun-
try must recognize that unless and
until France was given some sort
of genuine assurance" that she
was not to be left to the mercy OF
a "revengeful' Germany, that
there would be no general reduc-
tion Of military expenditures in
Europe.
"This Involves" he added "eiti1-
err an alliance between England
the United States and France, OF
else sope kind OF association o
nations in which the former enc.
my powers. as we'll as the United
States. shall be represented.
Mr. Filene suggested an agree
ment for an economic boycott on
condition that Great Britain, italy
and the other powers give France
"the necessary guarantees re-
quired to bring about European
tranquility"
