Reads Third Degree Report.

Senator Bracket read into the record
a highly colored newspaper story writ
ten from the standpoint of an eye
witness of the proceedings in the murder
house which Senator Bracket charac-
terized as "a thorough third degree"
Davey admitted that in the cases
called to his attention Justice Strong
had convinced him of his mistakes and
he had promised to correct them and
-bserve greater regard for accuracy
in the future.
Judge Strong was fussy." he de-
clared. "He was always looking for
an opportunity to take people to task"
Other witnesses examined were Fred
ID. Baldwin, a newspaper reporter. and
Charles /. Wood. an Assistant District
Attorney of Nassau county. None of
the witnesses testifying so far had
heard of the common rumor" on which
Justice Strong based his charge that a
State Senator had been bribed to with
draw his support from two bills de-
signed to prevent a County Judge and
Surrogate from practicing law in the
county.

THE DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

to be improbable when the press of other matters
is considered The main trouble lies in agreeing as
to the provisions of such measure. The opinions
range from practically unrestricted immigration to
prohibiting 1t entirely AS it Is proposed
to extend the percentage law for another year.
There is phase Of the operation of this law

that large numbers of persons who would be
barred because the quota of their nationality is ex-
haussted are being transported Cuba by the steam-
ship companies and are snealing in from there. 1t
is claimed that as many as 100000 persons have

fact the business Of conveying such to some
secluded nook on our southern shores is reported
to have assumed the proportions of large indus

1t is bad enough to have so many coming under

KEEPING THE PLEDGE.

1--WE hold in impershable remembrance" said the
republican national platform of 1920, "the valor
and the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors OF
America who fought in the great war for human
liberty and we pladge ourselves to discharge to
the fullest the obligations which grateful nation
Justly should fulfill in appreciation of the service
rendered by its defenders and on land.
Republicans are not ungrateful. Throughout
their history they have shown their gratitude to-
ward the nations defenders Liberal legislation for
the care of the disabled and nfrm and their de-
pendents has ever marked republican policy toward
the soldier and sailor of all the wars in which our
country has participated"
Let us see how well that pledge has been dis
charged. For soldier relief there had been ap-
propriated for expenditure up to June 80, 1921,
sl274. 521,S9S including $3.50 100000 toward sol.
diers' bonus.
Appropriations have been made for the fiscal
year ending June 80 1922, and now being made
for the year ending June 80, 1928. The total est-
mated expenditures for soldier relief for the two
years is as follows: 1922, $442,S7S744; 1923, $780,
024,s79.
In other words, there has been appropriated by
the federal government for the relief of soldiers OF
the world war about $2,173,OOO 900. In addition
congress has enacted number Of laws granting
special privileges reclamation projects and under
mining laws exemption from certain civil service
rules, free transportation under certain conditions
and other forms of special relief that it is impossi-
BILE to measure in money. Under the policies al
ready established, the national government for
many years to come, will spend annually hundreds
of millions Of dollars for disqualification compensa-
ton, vocational training and other forms of relief
for Its veterans. Many states have passed special

DANGEROUS GROUND.

President Harding is getting on dangerous ground
when states the press that he still not the
slightest occasion for any reservations the four

him and that therefore the senate should swallow it.
He may be right in claiming that there is moth
ing objectionable in the pact If so, he can have
little reason to grumble If the wants to de-
fine certain phrases so that their meaning cannot be
misunderstood and will not be interpreted to the
harm of the United States at future time.
Mr.. wilson's fight with the senate came over
the matter of reservations The senate glories in
its responsibility in the making of treaties. 1t will
not be quoted, not even by chief executive who
was once a member of that body.
When the league covenant was under discussion,
republican leaders picked out certain phrases and
asked their meaning. When the purport was made
clear to Them they asked that the language state
and suggested clarifying reservations points,
battle resulted the president holding for the orig
inal language of the covenant without dotting an

jected the whole document.
Mr.. Harding may be drawn into much the same
sort of fight If he opposes reservations to the four
power pact If certain provisions mean definite
things why should he refuse to allow the senate
the privilege of having the matter stated that
there may be no misunderstanding?
It IS dangerous ground-this telling the senate
that it must swallow the treaty exactly 1t was

Wheat opened easy on lower
Liverpool cables, prospects of Sun

desire of some holders to take
profits. The Argentine estimates
quickly overcame this movement,
however, the first figures indicat-
ing reductions of from ten to TWEEN
ty million bushels in the exportable
surplus of the South American
granary. On this advance there
was some selling by strong COM
mission houses and reaction de-
veloped at around $1.46 for May
and S1.25 for July.
Then a brokerage news agency
gave out what purported to be
cable advices to a leading export
showing seventy five million bush
els as the remaining exportable
surplus and the anonymous ex-
porter was credited with predicting
that it was quite possible" that
Argentine might import wheat by
