about that, Mr.. Bonar Law:
Moreover and worse, the chancellor
of the cXchequer, Stanley Baldwin, is
reported TO have prepared budget
whose adoption would necesstatc an it,

Really. that. would be topping; Bonar
Law was made prime minister on 4 tax
reduction program.
Many arc the questions that will be
put to the Tory governments, but none
may be more embarrassing than those
concerning taxation. OF greater gravity,
though, may be those pertaining to the
governments Near East policy and its
attitude toward developments in the
Ruhr region.
No Onc-no' American, at least-can
pretend to foresee the outcome. But
isn't il already obvious that Britain's
troubles have multiplied rapidly since
the change from Lloyd-Georgc to Bonar
Law: And isn't it apparent that some
of the new troubles arc direct results OF
that change?

Watching the Parade
BY John Pilgrim.


The colonel says that when you are
telling story TO a group Of men
and one of them sits there with his
eyes on yOu-and smile wreathing
his lips-and apparently engrossed in
what you are saying
He isn't listening to your story Mt
ALL" says the colonel. He's running
over in his mind the story he plans to
tell, and which will blast you right out
of the water
Like enough there's something in
that. That is about the way most of
us operate when there are more i'm
pOrtant things at stake than telling
the best fish story. And it is the way
We should operate. too. generosity
can be a vice instead of Il virtue.
Most of us owe it TO ourselves to take
care of ourselves first. The world
spins around the pivot of sclfishness.
Take that away and the world would
go screaming off into space. This
may not be pleasant doctrine, but
take a moment to think it over-isn t
there something in it:
/ have a dear old pal who works
hard every day of his life. His wife
is a kindly. thoughtful. lOvable wom-
an. and thanks TO her they have piled
away enough to ensure them comfort
in old age. But she has been forced
to be on the lookout against the I'M
g0vernable generosity OF her spouse
every blessed minute. Some time ago
they took young woman into the
house. She is kindly and pretty and
engaged To be married.
Il think we ought TO give her our
summer cottage for a wedding pres.
emit" said my dear old pal. Sort of
encourage her, you know
That cottage had been built to be
their own refuge. The wife hail shaved
and dreamed and talked and thought
of it for years. My old pal had just
had a rush of unthinking generosity
70 the head. He would not only have
done bis wife and himself n real in
jury, but he had wounded her sensitive
heart. She thought that he thought
more Of the little adopted daughter
| than of the wife who had loved him
for 30 years. That sort of generosity
well. that isn't generosity. That's
selfish folly.
But this is a long drift away from
fish story, isn't it?

A HARMLESS AMENDMENT

No fundamental principle OF govern
ment would be violated, no safeguard
of frecmen's rights would be destroyed,
if the constitution OF the United Statcs,
as proposed in a resolution adopted re-
Gently by the national Senate, should be
so amended as to change the time Of the
Presidents Inauguration from March 4
to the third Monday in January, and 50
as to eliminate the post-election session
of an old Congress. On the contrary,
such change might facilitate the prac-
tice of principles that really count
The constitution is not perfect it is
a human document. 1t could be i'm
proved in various ways. But those ways
pertain to adjustments OF minor details
N the conduct Of political and govern
rental affairs rather than to basic prin-
cipIes. And so far As principles are
concerned, the founders Of this nation
made so close an approach to perfection

that one may sometimes wonder whether
they were providcntially inspired.
The principles that form the founda-
ton OF this country's government apply
just as fully to present conditions as
they did to the conditions that existed
at the time the constitution was framed
A principle to be SuCh' must '''u"l :

But the trouble with too many law
makers is that they arc unable to dis
tinguSh those constitutional provisions
which are vital-provlsionS which are as
indispensable at one time as at another
from prOvislurS OF mere experience or
convenience. 1t ought to be perfectly
obvious that in setting March as the

NOT so UNANIMOUS

Ever since the French invaded the
Ruhr district the Germans have been
claiming that the proceeding has brought
absolute political unity OF the German
people. 1t cannot be denied that the
Germans have shown a high degree OF
united opposition to the proceedings
Of the French but this sort OF solidarity
does not by any means imply political
unity. In fact, il signs go for anything,
the Germans are about as far removed
from political unity behind the Cuno
ministry as they we'll can be.
Immediately after the French had
entered the Ruhr district a call was
made by Il member OF the Rcichstag
for a vote OF solemn protest against
the French action. When the vote was
taken or about to be taken. there were
present only 2S3 deputies out OF total
OF 4j9. That does not look like political
unity by any means. II a unanimous
vote might be expected on any question
in Germany it might surely be looked
for when it came to a question of de-
nouncing the present policies of the
French government. If Germans cannot
get together on that little question it
is difficult to say where they can do so.
In the latter part OF January a pro-
posal came before the Reichstag to give
powers to the Cuno government that
would be, in effect, dictatorial Instant
" there were strong objections and the
Socialists who were the most vehcmen
against the proposition secured post
ponement OF the vote on the grOunc
that no quorum was present. This GER
tainly shows that it is not possible a
the present time to amasS prcpOndcr'
ancc OF political strength behind the
CunO government. If there was as mucl
political unity in Germany as Germany
would have the world believe. it wouC
be far easier to array the various Gle
ments behind the present government
than it seems to be.
Furthermore, that attitude OF the Ger
man people even in relation to the Ruin
proposition. has not been entirely con
sistent. When the French first entered
the district Germany announced tina
the action had invalidatcd and set aside
the entire treaty Of Versailles Ius

WADE |S DENIE ]. FURTHER HEARING.
Sentence, After Appeal Is Denied Ten To Twenty
 Years

Appeal for new trial for Charles " ade, whom tho jury found guilty of mayhem upon George Warren, was denied by Judge William E. Fort at q special hearing of the case Tuesday afternoon.
 The defendant was sentenced to tiie state penitentiary for from 10 to 20 years. Appeal for new trial was based on alleged improper argument used by one of the attorneys and the charge that one of the jurors had an opinion in the ,ase before tEe trial started.
 ii san earlier trial Wade WAS given from 10 to 20 years, but the case was reversed in the supreme court on the ground that the public had been excluded from the court room. Wade was represented by C. r. Beddow, Roderick Beddow and Ben K. Ray. Assistant Solicitors J. F. Mccoy and Willard Drake prose cuted the case for the state.
 In passing sentence on Wade, Judge Fort announced that he would recommend to the governor that the 16 months the defendant has spent in jail awaiting trial be deducted from his term.
