the Democrats, because he is one of the
best helmsmen the party could wish

halls from North Carolina and Mr..
Robinson comes from a state west OF
the Mississippi river. The Democrats
in presidential years have often been
chided in northern states by the state
ment that the north and west has little
to say about the Democratic parry
and that its committee chairmanships
and leadership are always southern.
The leaders of the Democratic party
in the last few years in Congress have
hailed from southern states-the late
Senator Martin Of Virginia. Represen-
tative Claude Kitchen of North Caro-

The selection of Senator Joseph
Robinson of Arkansas is being cham
pioned not only because he comes from
a western state but because he has
kept in intimate and friendly contact
with the farm bloc with which the
Democrats will nor infrequently work
in the next two years. Mr.. Robinson
has been specializing also In foreign
affairs. He led the Democratic fight
against the four power pact while Mr..

UTLEY'S PLEA
GETS ACTION
FROM DAVIS

In response to telegram last
week to Assemblyman George II.
Davis, by District Attorney Ernest
r. Utley, urging that the amend
ment to the penal code, passed by
the 1921 legislature, prohibiting the
hanging of youths less than IL years
of age be repealed, the district at
torney today received q letter from
Mr.. Davis, stating that he has intro
duced a bill before the assembly,
asking that the amendment be re-
pealed. y
The move of the district attorney
was, prompted by the action Of
Judge Cole, in sentencing Charles
Davis to life Imprisonment in San
Quentin prison following his plea
of guilty to the murder of Leslie
Nichols while his accomplice, Law
renee Campbell, is to be hanged
on June %. At the time sentence
was imposed upon Davis, Judge
Cole expressed the opinion that the
law prohibiting the infliction of tho
de..th penalty on youths under Is,
is unjust and that the question OF
penalty should be left with the
court or the jury hearing the evil
dence. Though both were equally
guilty of the murder, and there was
only few months difference in
their ages, under the law, Davis
could not be sentenced to hang.
Many Dissatisfied
In addition to Judge Cole and
the district attorney, several other
local attorneys have expressed their
dissatisfaction with the amend
ment, believing the discretion Of
any youth who is really too young
the courts and juries will prohibit
to hang, from suffering capital pun
ishment.
In the ease of Campbell and Da-
Wis the slight difference in their
ages was not sufficient to make
any material difference in their
mentality, in the opinion of those
who attended the trial and listened

HARDING WILL
CALL BLUFF
OF DISSENT0RS
Will Get Rough With
Opposers of World
Court
Aggrieved at Conduct
Which Indie a tes
Party Split
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN
u. P. Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Pres-
ident Harding is going to get rough
with the Republican "'pessimists
and grumblers who are trying to
talk him out of pushing his world
court proposal
Harrassed and badgered, even
threatened by some Republican sen
ators with Il split in the party, Mir.
Harding will abandon persuasive eff
forts to bring them into line and
will call what he regards rs a bluff
On their part.
At the same time, MIR. Harding
will try to counteract the effect ON
the country of the activities Of
some of his closest Republican lieu
tenants, including Senator Watson
of Indiana.
Harding Aggrieved.
The president is deeply aggrieved
over the statements Of Watson and
others, questioning the political wis
dom of pushing the court issue, and
creating the impression that they
believe Mr.. Harding is leading the
United States into European en-.
tanglements.
The president has Il strong
"hunch that of he shows Wat
son, viii Woods of Indiana and
Others that he cannot be swayed by
their pessimistic fears of disaster
in the court issue that they will
become silent and at least preserve
the appearance of Republican unity
on the question.
In the speech he will deliver in
New York Tuesday afternoon Mr..
Harding. if he follows his present
plan, will virtually tell the Watson
group and other Republican mai
contents that they are lining up
with the Borah- johnson irreconcil-
ables by their present attitude and
will dare them to continue that at
titudc.
Wat2ons Stand
Reports reaching Washington to,
dav that Watson had definitely de-
cided to break with the administra-
tion on the court issue found no
verifieation here. Watson 5 atti-
tude still is that if he can be con
vinced the Harding Hughes plans
throws proper safeguards about Am
crican interests that he will sup
port it.
Mr.. Harding understands that
this is Watson's attitude but is
getting tired of facing the public
reaction to the Watson position.
While the administration has been
silent on the court Watson and
others whom Mr.. Harding calls
"pcssimists' have been airing
their views and as result have
created unfavorable public opin-
ion. IT is time, the president thinks,
to call Il halt on that and to find
out how the Republican party
stands on the issue, which he pers-
onally regards as the best, political
ly as well as governmentally, that
the administration could have.

By United Presn I.eased Wire

LOS ANGELES, April 2l.--The
boys and girls of today know more
than their parents and ought to be
teaching their parents, according to
Judge Ben Lindsey who has arrived
here for a lecture tour.
II believe in schools where par
ents of to-day will have their educa
tion brought up to date by flappers
and their so-called cakeeater sons, -
said Judge Lindsey. I've already
started Il school like that, and have
four flappers in charge of it.
''This would be n terrible world
if children did not disobey their
parents. The world IS progress is due
to the disobedicncc of children. -
~ do not mean thai Il child
should disobey--if the parent is
right. But the parent who believes
that the child should do as he or she
says regardless of right or wrong is
a tyrant and is acting to. stifle inia-
tive and intelligent reasoning. Tyr
amy is the father Of rebellion and
rebellion leads to the failure of the
child and, Of course of the parent.
Tyranny is what sends more child-
rent to the juvenile court than any
other cause.
Parents Ignorant
1--WE should train our children
to DO things because they are right
and just and reasonable. They
should be. taught to want to do
these things of their own accord.
We must not expect youth to blindly
obey orders which will stultify its
intellectual development.
