MEMBERS of the local American
IN1 Legion post last night pledged
their full cooperation to every dis
abled service man in the district and
went on record against being "at
ease" until every disabled mans case
has received proper attention to the
government.
The meeting of the post last night
was the first conducted by the new
set of officers, headed by r. H. Dick
son, post commander. In outlining
his policies last night Commander
Dickson declared that his efforts
would be turned, first of all, to the
disabled veterans. He particularly
requested each individual member to
interest himself in any case coming
to his attention in which any war vet
eran was not receiving just treatment
of compensation. A resolution back
ing up Dickson's views was unani-
mously passed.
Another resolution expressed appre-
citation for the work of the post offic-
ers whose terms expired with the
close of the year.
To Increase Membership
Chairmen of the various commit
tees were present and discussed the
work before them this year.
One of the principle topics discuss
ed was the membership campaign un-
der way. Charles Cole, chairman of
the membership committee, said he
was confident that, by hard work and
the membership in the
local post could be doubled within the
next IL months.
During the greater part of 1921 the
post was up against it" in many
ways. Suspension of copper produc-
ton in the district was followed by
the departure from Bisbee and vicin-
ity of scores of war veterans, many
of them members of the post and 9TH

TEST|F|ES HAY

UNFIT FOR USE
Former Army Inspectors Call
ed as Witnesses Against
Phoenix, Tempe Firm

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 5.-Much of
by the A. j. Peters Hay company of
Tempe and Phoenix, during 1919 was
found unstable and was rejected by
the army inspectors, while the grades
of other shipments from the same
company were reduced by the inspec-
ors, according to testimony IN the
United States district court here to-
day by Lieutenant Gilbert S. Frazier,
of Oklahoma City, Okla.
Lieutenant Frazier, who testified
he was a sergeant employed as an
inspector of hay at Fort Siil DUR
ing 1919, was a witness for the prose
cution today in the trial of A. j. Pc
tiers and A. N. Jaggers on charges of
defrauding the government on nay
sold the government by the A. ]. Pc
tiers Hay company during 1919.
The lieutenant explained the sys-
tenn of grading at the fort, and the
procedure necessary when hay was
given lower grading than that GER
titled to by the shipper or when it
was rejected by the army inspectors
altogether.
He estimated that the amount of
hay shipped by the Peters company
that was rejected by the army in
spectors was so to 60 per cent
greater than the average reflections
for the various firms shipping hay to
the fort. He added, however, that
the Peters company was shipping an
unusually large amount of hay to the
fort.
Captain H. H. Brayman, of Lawton,
Okla, who was also stationed at Fort
Sill during 1919, also explained the
system of hay grading used there.
The examination of Lieutenant Fra
zier had not been completed when
COURT adjourned tonight. Counsel for
the defendants are subjecting all wit
nesses for the prosecution to careful
cross-examination.

LITTLE MONEY SPENT

It is case for congratulation that election by candidates seeking office. The fact indicates possibly a rccogni- use of cash, but more likely it is that the expenditures were small because their own dislike of the habit of spending large sums 10 gain election, the people respected and trusted most thoroughly.
 There are plenty of criticisms that may be made of local politics; plenty of criticism is made of them. It is well, lavishy does not bring one more cause for disapproval, if the report ed expenditures may be taken as true.
 The increasing indications of in tercst in local elections by all the
 
 est of people who have not been in- terested in the past, even though this does not necessarily mean a greater vote because of the falling off in in terest of some Of those previously giv- ing attention to politics, is an en- couraging sign. When representatives of every class inform themselves upon civic matters and, by their votes give indications of preference, a better government for all classes will result. This general spread of interest is to be noted even while a falling off of interest in some quarters. Knowledge of city affairs is to be seen every where. The value of money as means of winning elections becomes less as intelligence increases.

AND NOW FRANCE.

Lloyd George has been having con siderable difficulty trying to smooth over the rough places caused by the action of Russia and Germany in making their treaty, and now comes France, with her refusal to attend the meeting suggested by him of the signatories to the treaty of Versailles, at Genoa. This refusal, of course, makes pointed Frances antagonism to the feeling of conciliation the Eng fish Prime Minister has been attempt ing 10 have prevail
 But Poincare has a good foundation for the stand he has taken. The separations discussion is not q part of the program planned for the Genoa conference, The meeting suggested by Lloyd George would be called for the purpose of obtaining from France some modification of her determined stand to keep away from such dis cussion and to demand fulllment of the terms of the treaty as unaffected by the Genoa conference and by the various questionable acts of Germany and Russia while the conference is in progress
 Frances stand, however, makes less easy to obtain the spirit of conclia- tion without which little success may come from the Genoa conference While it is sought to gain the conn- dence of Russia and Germany there. the importance of retaining whatever confidence France has in England seems to have been forgotten. Eng land, more than all else must show loyalty to and friendship for France; then, if possible, Conciiate and aid Russia and Germany. Lloyd George took long chance in suggesting this meeting on the side" and from pres ent appearances the move was prema- ture.

\ case in the United states supreme
 Court, attacking the constitutionalits
 Of the woman suffrage amendment
 was dismissed on the authority Of pre-
 Nously decided eases covering the
 samc point, This Is the custom Of many courts where the fncts are not 1 in dispute, An apepal was made in ! that case to tho "conscioncc" of the court asking for an opinion on the merits of the matter,
 { r the habit Of courts to decide eases upon past precedent Is changed, the whole system of legal decisions will change. The courts today feel ohlidgcd to rule as the rulings upon identical facts have been made in the past, If one ease is lon all fours" with another which has been decided, and remains not reversed, the court has no choice but to decide the second ease in tho same way.
 In the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the state Of New York divorce case was up for re- view. The judges of the court saw and knew personally that the person to whom the divorce must be granted according to past rulings, was in reality the party morally at fault, Nevertheless they had to decide in his favor because of the various divorce laws in the different states. They were 10th 10 make the decision, but they recognized that former decisions. which they must follow, had been of the greatest benefit to the greatest number, therefore they had been made Precedent ruled them of neces- sity.
 But the trouble lies not entirely with the differing laws of different states. It lies deeper than that. What was right twenty years ago may be quite wrong today. What was wrong twenty years ago may be considered right today. How long will the law be bound by precedent? And should it be bound by precedent always?
 There is no question Of the necessity of law and order and a strict respect for both. But the question remains will not the time come, has it not come already, when the changed char acter of the times should have it's ef- feet upon judicial decisions? Should not the courts take Judicial notice" of the fact that habits and customs and beliefs have changed and should not these changes be reflected in the decisions of courts?
 The question is d vast one: it's com plications may be no more than indi- cated. But in its solution there lies tho possibility of great legal dis coveries.

DECENT MEN GATHER.

There is q fine spirit in evidence in the country. Decent men are show ing d desire 10 get together, to meet regularly and to discuss things worth while and listen to people talk to them about such things.

There are other such classes in various parts of the country, nearly all of which arc of comparatively recent origin.

STRANGE, SENSES

The interesting report of the girl, blind and deaf, who is said to be able to hear" over the telephone by put ting her fingers over the receiver, and to read" by lingering newspaper headlines, is not as incredible as it may seem to those who have never experimented with the strange, inex- plicable senses of which we are pos sessed.
 Scientists tell of blind men who know when they are passing a house when they walk along the street. They go farther and say some of these men are able to tell just how many win dows there are in that house, and to describe. other things about it.
 Experiment has shown it possible for a person whose eyes are closed tightly to tell when q book or other object of some size is brought close to the closed eyes the cars, or when a hand IS raised in close proximity to such unsecing person.
 Ths positive indications that have been given of the power of these strange senses which are ordinarily not understood suggest our ignorance of forces which may be affecting us constantly. These indications make a study of science in all its phases fas-

COMMUNICATED
Legion Commander Ex.
 plains Work Members Wish
to Carry on.

To Ex-Seryice Men and Women of
 New Britain;
 Why does the American Legion want more members and what docs the organization do for it's members and for the city?
 The Eddy-Glover post has accom- plished many things with an aver age of 25o members during the two and one-half years since it was or ganized. It has been self supporting and in addition has contributed over Sl,SO0 for benefits that are of in- terest to all who served in the world war. If the membership had been larger the result would have been greater. The post wants more mem- bers so as to carry on the work it has started and do even more. The dues are reasonable and new mem- bers signing up may arrange for part payment which gives them full priyi- leges at once.
 Among the aims of the organiza- ton are: To foster and perpetuate one hundred per cent Americanism, and to preserve the memories and in- cidents of our association in the great war. The post has been active in civic work and was instrumental in the establishment of the home service bureau which has distributed in the past year S14,000 for food, clothing and rent among the most needy eX- service men. Some of the money raised by the post through it's dances and entertainments have been con- tributed as follows. SS60 toward ex- penses of military funerals in addi- ton to about $500 which the city has appropriated S400 for the decoration and maintenance of the Court of Honor; S512 to the War Veterans memorial building fund. Our service committee has distributed over s50,- 900 to disabled and needy veterans from the state fund.
 Now that rooms have been se- cured in the Electric building, the members of Eddy Glover post and it's auxiliary will be able to get better acquainted and develop a better spirit of comradeship and all the eX-service men and women. The membership committee asks any who are interest ed to drop in and talk it over at the headquarters No. 275 Main street which is open every evening this week form 6:3O to 10 o'clock and all Saturday afternoon.

Those who, reading of the tragic
 death of Frederick Van Rensselaer,
 Dey, learn for the first time that he
 was the creator of Nick Carter" may see again the coorcd covers of the
 weekly published under that name and place those stories in the general pile of trash telling of wild deeds of blood to the detriment of youthful readers, They may consign Fred Doy to the group of people who turned out from typrowrters tales having no reason for existence other than the attempt to gratfy tho natural craving of youth for excitement. They may have the hardihood, even, to forget that most wonderful command Judge Not" and insinuatc that it is too bad the author of such tales as Nick Carter" did not commit suicide before his career as 2 writer began.
 It Is rather certain that such critics had never been invited to the quiet of Fred Deys room near the sky" where he took none but those who, he be- lieved, possessed understanding of human frailty, willingness to be char table In dealing with the weaknesses of others. ability to recognize q game fight against an unfortunate affliction. Probably such critics do not know that Fred Dey did not write of shoot ings and battles to the death on the edge of precipices in which the hero always shot the villain. Quite pos slbly they do not know that one of the greatest lawyers Of the West, on journey to Washington to argue a case before the Supreme Court of the United States, carried with him, close to the learned brief he had prepared, the latest 'Nick Carter tale, nor that at least one mayor of the city of New York, of illustrious lineage, was frank | to tell of his interest in the mental triumphs Of the detective of fiction who worked on legitimate clues, de- | ducing, reasoning and solving most of the problems presented to him through a clever questioning of per song connection with the crime
 And probably such uninformed pco- pie do not know that the heroes of many of the "dime novels" of those | days never shot man to death, though passing through the widest of adventures, and were always striving, with the thorough sympathy of the publishers of the weeklies, to point q moral in every story wrtten--to instill into the youthful readers, with out their conscious knowledge, an ad- miration for the fine, strong, true things of life.
 Few know the pathetic story of Fred Dey's life. All who met and as- sociated with him recognized the bril- liance of his mind. Only those who | know him best understand the inf1u- ences that constantly oppressed him, and that he did make a fight against odds.
