Carl Veith's Acquittal.
Described as an Instance OF Common
Sense Shown by n Jury.

To The NEW YORK HERALD: The
acuuittal Of Carl veith. tried for killing
the man who beat his mother. answers
those who have asked what jury Is
for and criticized jury decisions.
The jury, exists for the purpose OF
furnishing the element of common sense
in justice. which the law lacks. The
law might hold guilty under the Sullivan
law a householder who hurled a flower
pot at an intruding burglar. because the
householder would possess a c,ncealable
weapon without license. There are many
other absurdities In the law; the busi-
ness of the jury Is 20 eliminate them.
Juries also discount eyewitness testi-
mony, which Is notoriously inaccurate.
They do perfectly right In refusing to
believe that the man who cannot remem-
Der to mail his wife's letters can posi-
lively recall and glibly recite every small
detail OF crime which was committed
before his eyes in the space OF half
minute.
Juries In the main are all right and
should not be criticized or ha;npered In
the fullest exercise of their powers.

Still Helping to Feed the World.

American farms are still doing
vastly more than their pre-war share
of feeding the rest of the world. II
they were not our total exports Of
to-day compared with two and three
years ago would look even sicker
than they do.
For the first quarter of the year
Bureau of Commerce reports show
23,259,913 bushels of wheat sold
abroad, as against an average annual
export in 191O-1914 of S,S45,070 bush
els. Wheat -four compares 1896, 444
barrels now with the pre-war aver
age of 2,5S2,696. Others are: Corn,
60, ,4S0,39S bushels, against 81 ,257 ,005. .
rye and rye -four, 3,316,S74. against
209,316; oats and oatmeal, 3,617, $50.
against 1,426,359; rice, 119,11S,146,
against 3,2S4,757.
Meat and lard products likewise
show heavy gains as follows: Lard,
1922, 21S,197,535 pounds; 1904,
52,O56,SSS; bacon, 1922, SS.249, ,055; /;
1904, 47,755,24S; hams and shoul-
ders, 1922, 7O,s01, PSI; 1904, 49,
5S1 1903.
Dairy products make the surpris-
ing gain in condensed milk exports
of 65,4S2,453 pounds, compared with
a 1904 average of 4,295,053 pounds.
But to the majority of Americans
probably the most astonishing record
of all will be that our exports of
sugar in 1904 averaged 1861, SIG
pounds for the first quarter year,
while in the first three months Of
this year they totaled 530,051,9
pounds.
Without the aid of Russia Europe
is steadily getting into better shape
to feed itself. If the Genoa confer
ence or any international banking
consortium helps the Soviet Govern
ment to restore it's agricultural indus
try for the economic good Of Europe
there will be less of food products
for our farms to sell across the seas
by thousands of cargoes and hun
dreds Of millions of dollars. In any
event, it behooves American capital
and American labor to look to the
matter Of maintaining the export su-
premacy of the country with argosies
of manufactures that can sell the
world over.
But to sell our manufactures any
where beyond our own boundaries
must become the more difficult as our
production costs continue too high
above our own normal and above the
falling costs of the Industrial coun.
tries of the Old World.

of central and western China are
practically beyond reach. Even II
these minerals are brought to the
surface there is no way OF getting
them under present conditions to the
markets or factories either of China
or the rest of the world.
The raw silk and other materials
for fabrics are brought from the
place of their origin in western
China to market principally by pack
horses or wheelbarrows. In much
of this western country the roads
are so bad as to make even caravan
trade impossible. The Chinese rank
among the best farmers of the world
and they produce immense crops in
the fertile Chinese valleys, yet this
store of grain goes largely to local
consumption because there is no
means of transporting it. A striking
instance of this was furnished in the
latest Chinese famine. While people
we're dying by starvation in one part
of China there was abundance in
other regions. 1t was easier to get
supplies from foreign nations than
it was to get them from the more
remote sections of China.
People who live only 200 or 500
miles from Pekin know nothing of
the China beyond their own locality
and have no understanding Of their
Government or of their own respon-
sibilities to it. They are never in
touch with other people of the ma
ton, because they are as thoroughly
cut off from them as if they were
inhabitants of another country. The
only way to remedy this condition is
to bring them into communication
with other localities or provinces and
with their own central government.
Transportation and intercommuni-
cation are as important to the politi-
cal life of China as to its economical
development. The unification Of China
must depend largely upon transporta-
tion. The two are practically insep-
arabic; SO closely associated, in fac;,
that one can scarcely exist without
the other.

Brass Monkeys Gain One.
A Taxpayer Thinks Long Felt
Want Has Been Met.

To THE New York HERALD: notice
the formation Of a league in Omaha
calling itself the National Society OF
Brass Monkeys. The object Of the or
ganization seems to be the protection OF
the flea bitten taxpayer.
1 have been waiting for some time to
hear of the formation OF such union
1t has come none too soon, for II ever
any class needed protection It is the
flea bitten taxpayer. Nobody has any
sympathy for the taxpayer. and IL he
does not organize for self-protection he
is going to be still further exploited by
the politician.
/ hope the Society Of Brass Monkeys
will grow until 1t has at least four mill
ions OF taxpaylng members. Then the
politician will have some regard for
the taxpayer.
I have written to Omaha to the Sec
rotary of the Society of Brass Monkeys
for membership in the organization and
am sure can easily secure hundreds OF
members. FLEA BITTEN TAXPAYER.

Mr.. Beveridge's Victory.
Viewed as a Result Of Indiana's OPP
position to the Bonus.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Those
people who see in the triumph OF AL
bert ]. Beveridge for Senator In Con-
gress from Indiana a reputation of the
Harding Administration are not seeing
through the eyes of Indiana farmers,
bankers and business men. These men
know that the result. making all due
allowance for the masterful campaign
Ing of Senator Beveridge. is an indorse-
ment of President Hardings consistent
opposition to the bonus raid and no.
tice to Senator New that the people are
weary of his activities in behalf of men
who have merely discharged the duties
OF American citizenship.
-Four weeks ago in conversation with
a conservative banker of one OF the
small cities Of Indiana, who has close
affiliations with one of the leading
banks in indianapolis, was given to
understand that the primaries would in
Republicans on the bonus, although
Senator Beveridge was uncommitted.
"You see." said he. "our farmers bor-
rowed large sums of money during and
following the war for the purpose OF
increasing the size of their farms; the
high price of hogs and corn stimulated
them beyond all reason. and every bank
In the State is loaded up with notes
which the farmers cannot pay upon the
present prices.
"The banks cannot force payments.
for they cannot go into wholesale farm
ing operations, and the result is our
banks are full of frozen assets. 1t is
impossible for US to take care OF the le-
gitimate business needs Of the commu-
nifty in many instances, and when Sena-
tor New or any other man undertakes
to increase the financial burdens OF the
nation by Ave thousand millions of dol
lars, the farmers and business men or
Indiana are hostile. You Will be IN
.terested in the primary results"
This found to be the prevailing at
titude the people have faith that Pres
ident Harding will veto bonus RAID
and the vote in Indiana simply records
this confidence and emphasizes the fact
that the political organization which at
tempts to cater to class Will inevi-
tably come in conflict with the mass.
The men l talked with were not pri-
marily Beveridge men; naturally they
belong to the standpat group, but they
were dead sure that they were not Tor
any man who had been active In the
promotion of bonus legislation, and they
were progressively insistent upon that'
as the vote indicates.

transportation in China.

The two Chinese leaders, DR.. Sun
YAT-sEN in the south and General
WI PEI-FU, the recent victor in the
factional fighting around Pekin, in
the north, have both expressed them
selves as strongly in favor of, the
unification Of China. Political har-
mony between the north and the
south and the suppression of the ruin
Gus militarism through the over.
throw Of the regional chiefs and
their armed supporters are undoubt-
edly necessary to the upbuilding Of
China. Unification, though, must de-
pend largely upon the establishment
of communication connecting the
different parts of the country and
upon system of transportation
which would distribute the products
of China and open to the world its
rich natural resources.
Transportation has been the great
est need of China. Yhe roads, while
numerous, are unpaved and unequal
to the demands OF modern travel.
Dependence has been chiefly on the
canals and other waterways. The
Chinese Government, in order to Sc
cure greater advantage from these,
agreed in 1898 to open them to for
eign vessels. The restrictions i'm
posed upon this traffic, however, were
such that little improvement In con-
ditions resulted, and small benefit was
reaped by foreign vessel owners.
There are at present about $500
miles of railway open in China, ex-
elusive OF the Manchurian railroads
The first railway, the Woosung line,
was built in 1875. Most OF the rail-
roads were built by foreigners, al
though one line, the Pekin-Kal-
gan road, constructed through a
difficult country where many tun.
nels and skillful engineering work
we're required, was a purely Chi
nese undertaking and was built
by Chinese engineers and labor
ers. The railroads Of China, how
ever, are entirely in the eastern
section and none of them is more
than few hundred miles from the
coast line. Pekin and Mukden on
the north are connected. Pekin is
also connected with the Yangtze Val
ley at Nankin, with the coast through
Tientsin, and with Hankow. These
are all important Chinese centers OF
population, but they represent only
few of the provincial capitals or
sites of Chinese industries.
The result is that the great fields
Of rich resources OF the country are
remote from any means Of modern

A Great Wild Stallion.
True Story of a Horse Captured on
the San JOAQUIN Range.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
spectacular wild horse of the Western
plains belongs to fiction. as you say,
but know one true story Of the kind.
In the early eos my father was In
charge of my grandfather's cattle herds
Of more than 5000 grazing animals ON
the San Joaquin plains in California.
The original Indian ponies were de-
scendants from mares and stations es-
capped from the earliest Spanish explor-
ers and conquistadores. and those
horses were descended In Spain from old
Moorish stock which had its origin in
Arabia. The animals we're compare
lively small but possessed the Arabs un-
wearying energy and great carrying
ability. II was that stock, that became
the Indian pony of the lands west Of
the Mississippi. the wild horse OF tho
Far West, the smaller cayuse OF the
oregon and Washington country. Nat
urally It degenerated in appearance
through lack of special selection in the
slres, but It retained its stamina and
small feet to a remarkable degree. re-
call seeing a broncho Of this strain at
the end of ride of ia miles completed
In one day from Arroyo Grande to Santa
Barbara carrying rider who must
have weighed about $50 pounds. That
was In the sos.
There was one Splendid feet animal
rowing the Sierra foothills of the east
side OF the San Joaquin In the early
eos. and rewards were offered for his
capture or killing, as this rather myth
icaI Adonis In horselesh continued to
make night forays down into the val
leys and lure away small bevies OF ad-
miring range mares.
I recall my father relating in 1879,
not long before he died and many years
before any wild horse fiction stories, his
personal experiences in the pursuit and
eventual capture and subduing OF this
great wild stallion, and later verinca-
ton has come to me in conversation
with old timers OF the plains of that
period when my father. then champion

West and international champion over

known as Judge of the Plains and King
of the Plains.

too much start and was too fleet In the
rough going. The day was very hot
and the fine animal used in pursuit prac-
