Senator Moses points out that the
farm bloc" in the senate is composed
of 90 lawyers, one editor and we'll
digger. But if that is the sort of
bloc that suits the farmers. of what
concern is it to Senator Moses? The
senator himself belongs to the manu-
facturers bloc, altho not himself a
manufacturer. The right of a senator
to choose the interest that he desires
to serve. or seem to serve, is not de-
MED him by the constitution. If SEN
ator Moses had been elected by an
agricultural constituency possibly he
would have been a member of the
farm bloc. The trainers of the fed
eral constitution had it in mind that
the senators should represent the in
terests. While the house should repre-
sent the masses. AS a rule the sen
ators continue to carry out this idea
regardless of the effort to alter that
ter dency thru making their election
subject to a popular vote.

JUST FOLKS
POPPING CORN
BY EDGAR A GUEST

Il
Tell YOU what, it's fun to be
Just a little boy like me
When the blizzard starts to blow,
PiIing up the streets with snow,
And the wind goes shTieking past
Doors and windows bolted fast,
And YOU can't go out, and you
Wonder what you're going to DO
IL your father says: we might
Pop a little corn tonight.
Then we gather round the fire
With the pepper made Of wire,
And we shake an never stop
Till the corn begins to pop,
Dancing up and down and back
With a fast and furious crack
TIL it can't hold any more;
Then Pa Just unloekS the door
And he flips It with a swish
Into Mothers baking dish.
Sometimes Pa he lets me take
Hold Of il and help him shake,
And. / watch the pop corn swell
Till it bursts just ike she'll
And he says: Vow don't you stop
Shaking there to watch 1t popi
Keep it moving to and fro,
Till it's al as white as snow
When it's finished, if you wish
You can put it in the dish
You can bet it's fun to be
Just a little boy like me
When the wind begins to moan
And the doors and windows groan-
If your father looks about
Knowing that you can't 60 out.
Yawns a bit. and says TO you;
Tell you. Sonny. what we'll do.
We can have some fun all right
We'll just pop some corn tonight.

Assassin a Double Murderer

Los ANGELES. March 17:-
"Justice. that's ali I ask-justice for
my slain boy and justice for the
mother of that boy who today suffers
q living death because Of the foul
crime which robbed our home.
II have no thirst for vengeance In
my heart.
aBut I want the Jurors in the case
Of Madalynne obenchain to remem.
ber when they retire to deliberate on
a verdict In this trial that the
assassin in Beverly Glen that night
was a double murderer
For the bullet which ended the
life of my son also pierced the heart
Of that boys mother. And today

but for the love of my WIFE"

father OF the victim In the myster-
ious murder case Of which NADIA
lynne Obenchain and Arthur Burch
stand accused, today so spoke his
mind as the final plea on the part
Of the defense was being made prior
to the retirement of the jury to settle
the fate of the woman in the case"
Two men during the past few days
have held the interest Of the crowds
Mr.. Kenndy, the father, and Steady
Ralph" Obenchain. the husband of
the defendant.
And today the face Of the tragic
father more and more dominated the
eyes of the spectators az he sat with
touching dignity by the side of
Deputy Prosecutor Asa Keyes.
From the arguments OF the at.
torneys for the defense one would
imagine that Belton's mother was
an old woman and an invalid all her
life," cantinued Mr.. Konnedy.
"As q matter of fact. she Is a few
years beyond forty, and was q well,
active, and happy mother prior to
the fatal night of Beltons death.
Mrs. Obenchain may be very ap-
pealing to some spectators In this
courtroom. but to my mind she Is
not half so pathetic q picture as that
crushed mother who lives through
long and lonesome days crying aloud
Bolton! Bolton! Bolton!
Hopes for Speedy Verdict.
"The failure Of the Arthur Burch
jury to come to q decision made IT
very hard both for Mrs. Kennedy
and myself. And we hope this Jury
will arrive at a decisive speedy ver-
dict of guilty in this case.
Ralph Obenchain, when he first
came here from the East, tried to
discover facts in Belton's past life
that would make him out man Of
the world. AS a matter OF fact IL he
had been a sophisticated man about
town he would be alive today and
would not have been victimixed.
"Tho world may rest assured the
only reason that Judd Rush yester-
day afternoon spoke in such prais-
ing terms Of my son was bscause
the defense was forced to DO 1t,
much as they disliked to admit IT,"

tBy Associated Press,

New York, May 9.-Western con-
tenders in the National league chase
drew blood in the initial inter-sec-
tional clashes of the season by TAX
ing four out of five games and occu-
pied all but the top positions in the
first divisions of both circuits today.
The pace-setting Yankees and
Giants were the only eastern clubs
barring the way to clean sweep for
the west.
Pittsburg came from behind in the
eighth and ninth to score six runs
and win from Brooklyn, s to z, in
the only National league game sched-
uled. Chief Yellowhorse, Indian
twirler, gto credit for the victory.
The rest of the clubs resume today
on western battle grounds, the
Giants meeting their fast-going riv-
ais, the St. Louis Cardinals.
Good pitching and Bakers heavy
hitting, which included home run,
helped the Yankees down Chicago,
rs, but the rest of the eastern teams
bowed to the invaders.
Cleveland slugged three athletic
pitchers for 16 hits and a 14-4 VIC
tory; Detroit's recruit pitcher, Olson,
turned back Boston, while the St.
Louis wrecking crew drove out 6-5
triumph over Washington. The
Browns called in four pitchers to
stop the Senators.
