Woodburn Defends
Pittman' S Record
Presents Convincing Proof of Senior
Senator's Achievements In Pass
age of Important Measures

In an address to an audience of
over a thousand people in Reno last
Wednesday evening. William Wood
burn, former u. S. District Attor-
ney, completely refuted the attacks
Of Mr.. Chandler whose campaign
speeches in Fernley. Fallon and
Lovelock were studied efforts in
disparagement of Senator Pittman's s
connection with measures and
achievements previously universally
credited to him.
Step by step, with letter, telegram
and date, remote and near the advo-
cate wove his evidence into proof of
the highest and most disinterested
character As to the Pittman Sill
yer Act he did not claim exclusive
credit for the senator (as neither
did the senator himself), but he bas-
ed his claim irrefutably that Sena-
tor Plttman, to put it mildly, was
entitled to a good share of the cred
1t, whereas the opposition would give
him no credit at all. Following is
some of the testimony presented by
Mr.. Woodburn:

MANY DAIRYMEN JOIN
HERD TESTING ASSN

w. H. Murdock, herd testing
specialist from Salt Lake City, Is
now assisting L. E. Cline and the
dairymen of the project in the work
of organizing a herd testing assoei-
alton. Up to the present time a
membership of 40 has been signed
up representing TAO cows. Only
about half of the territory to be
covered by the association has been
canvassed for members When the
organization work is completed 1t is
believed the membership will repre-
sent over 1000 cows.
Mr. Murdock gave an interesting
talk on the herd testing work at a

OTHER OFFENDERS

"Whenever newspaper ridicules
law, plays up a policy OF contempt
for law and its enforcement, and in
its news and editorial columns tes-
ters breaking, that newspaper IS
doing more to destroy American IN
stitutions than a Federal Judge can
do 10 maintain them" declared At
torney General Daugherty in a re
cent speech.
No one will disagree with him.
But there will be many who dis
agree with the implication some
may find in this pronouncement,
that disrespect for law is bred in
the American press.
Without trying to place any
blame where it belongs, attention OF
the thoughtful is drawn to two re-
cent instances in which those who
.dminister the law taught people to
discespect it.
In Wilkes-Barre, Pa, man,
charged with wife beating, was be-
ing tried before magistrate. Be-
coming intensely incensed with the
prisoner because OF the character OF
the evidence given against him, the
magistrate jumped over his desk,
gave him black eye, had him stand
up and blacked the other eye, after
which he fined him ten dollars.
There is here no sympathy Tor
the wife-beater. Doubtless he de-
served more than he got. But he
didn't deserve, in a court of law,
anything but a calm, dispassionate,
and judicial hearing. The law does
not provide for magistrates doing
their own eyeblacking.
The governor of middle-western
state commuted a death sentence TO
lie imprisonment, first getting the
convict in question to sign paper
agreeing that should he or his
friends attempt TO gain further
clemency for him, the communication
will cease and he again face the
death penalty. Poetic justice" per-
haps. but is there a law anywhere
which permits an official with CON.
muting power to bargain with con-
yicts? And does il make Tor re-
spect for law TO deprive any con-
vict OF hope?
To most OF us, law is impersonal;
it is the law officer who makes the
law live for us. As we respect him,
we respect that for which he
stands; as we may laugh at, or
sneer at, or condemn him, so, un-
consciously, do we wrongly but
very humanity condemn the law.

GOOD OLD DAYS

those first tires. Its easy to believe
when you remember that 5000 miles

LEGION AND SAWYER

1t is hardly likely that the Amer
lean Legion will be satisfied with
the Harding reply to their criticism
OF DR.. Sawyer's connection with
the disqualification Board, declares
the Detroit News, since it does not
answer the Legion's original objec-
ton and is Simply another evidence
OF the fine but questionable loyalty
that drives the president frequently
TO the defense OF one or another of
his appointees. He is willing to as
sumo responsibility for the acts of
the doctor, and the board, but will
ingness alone does not cure what
ever condition obtains that must be
remedied.
The job of hospitalizing former
service men is one that demands ex-
ecutive ability of high order and
tact and fairness in high degree.
But above all it demands all the
time and attention of director en-
dowed originally with these qualifi-
cations. The Legion's criticism of
DR.. Sawyer was imperSonal. 1t did
not concern itself with the mans
professional qualifications hic h
may or may not be equal to the
elaborate task. 1t did insist that
DR.. Sawyer in his capacity of white
house physician is quite unable to
leave Washington and inspect the
working of his disqualification plan.
That is a legitimate objection
which an over-worked president
does not answer by taking over re-
sponSibility for the task himself.
Neither he nor his physician is ca
pable of handling full-time job in
connection with another full-time
task. The Legion complaint did
not question the capacity of anyone
onnected with the board; it raised a
sound query whether the best of
men is capable OF attending to a
Job OF considerable magnitude in
such off hours as he can spare
from other asduouS duties.

 The fish, which will have to be Scientifically identified in Washington, was found to be the most active de- stroyer of mosquito larvae. More than 100000 of them have been distributed by ones, twos and threes in all the water containers in the houses in the Departments of Lambayeque and Libertad. For an ordinary water con- tainer of 1Q or Is gallons, two or three fish were sufficient.

 No food was provided so that the hungry fish would live on the organic mater in the water Every eight or ten days inspectors visited the houses to make surethe fish were still living and doing their work.
