In the absence of congress and
obviously without consulting the
powers behind the administration
throne, the Republican National
committee took upon itself to IL
lumine the country with wisdom.
Some of us had been inclined to
think too lightly of the prudence,
the cleverness, the far-reaching
suasive effect, even of the majestic
Importance, of political committees.
But nobody could have read the
latest statement of the Republican
National committee without being
impressed by the judgment, the po-
litical sagacity, the instructive sense
of popular opinion of that often I'M
derestimated council of %sapience.
Great Britain and her allies were
caught in the act of trying to "bilk
the United States by hook or crook
out of the costs of u army OF
occupation on the Rhine. 1.-The
whole matter Is a crooked deal"
That is what was to be expected
whenever the United States had
anything to do with Europe. at is
typical of the attitude Of England
and European Powers toward this
country in all matters. They are
out to Job the United States at
every possible turn"
Those accursed foreigners were
violating and r~epudiating to the top
of their bent. They were pettifog-
gers. They had no sense of fair
play. They we're guilty Of "down-
right dishonesty in their treatment
of the United States in this Rhine
business. If this country Of inno-
cents "goes into any sort of league
with European Powers, they will
immediately take every advantage
of it at the expense of the United
States" This 'has long been
known by those familiar with the
attitude of European Powers to-
ward America" Evidently the
members of the national committee
were those long-experienced ex-
perts. The consummate tact, the
popular appeal" of this line of
argument" would have been evil
dent and irresistible had it not un-
kindly been repudiated by lesser
experts" such as Messrs. Harding
and Hughes.
Europe is a crook Come out of
her, my people! That was a deep
p%ondered, an engaging issue. No
dealing with crooksl The farmers
were to "rise to it as one man."
weren't they? And the soldiers and
others too to mention.
Mr.. Harding must have been highly
gratified by the authoritative utter
ance of these trainers of political is
sues and shapers of political des-
tiny.

This was the unusual situation
which obtained in the Bexar county
criminal court recently when c. e.
Miller, state ranger, under Adj. Gen.
Thomas ID. Barton. was tried on a
charge of aggravated assault upon A.
bert TeSsman, Bexar county farmer.
Miller was found not guilty by a jury
after few moments elaboration. The
complaint had been filed BY Tessmau
following a raid made by Miller and
other rangers on his farm east Of
town.
Tessman claimed that Miller had
struck him with a pistol after he had
failed to find any liquor on the place.
Miller denied having struck Tessman
with gun or having drawn a gun
during the raid, admitting, however,
that he had slapped Tessman when
the latter is alleged to have cursed
him.
The case went to trial in the county

SENTIMENT FAVORS
CONRADI ACQUITTAL
PROTESTS FROM ALL PARTS OF
SWITZERLAND RECEIVED BY
NEWSPAPERS.

Lausanne, May pa strong pop
ular movement in favor of the acquit-
tai of Maurice Conrad, assassin of the
Bolshevih envoy Vorovsky seems to
be taking shape throughout Switzer-
land. Numerous letters charging
harshness by the conservative news
papers whose editorials condemned
Conrad although admitting extenu-
ating circumstances.
AS for Conrad himself, he can
scarcely complain of the treatment he
is receiving from the authorities
After his preliminary examination he
was taken unhandcuffed and accom-
panied by officially one detective
thru the streets to jail. On the way
he stopped in a bakery and bought
buns and cakes for his supper. He
seems not in the least downcast, chat
ting and occasionally laughing.
The socialist and communist news
papers continue to attack the federal
authorities charging that the soviet
delegates were not sufficiently pro-
tected.
