TIE RIGHT OF PETITION

The United States Senate has worked itself into
an interesting state of mind the subject of propa
ganda." From the point of view OF calm, average
American citizen its sudden order for probe of prop
agandst activity and the anus inspiring that action,
are rather hard to understand.
The Senate without much regard to partisan lines,
is especially upset by thngs-the Box peace plan
and the Mellon tax plan with their attendant publicity
and their byproduc of appeals to Congress for legis
lative action. The bonus, too, plays part.
AS a merely personal human proposition, it is
comprehensive that senators may be annoyed by
deuge of letters and teegTams from all points Of the
compass urging them to follow particular plan.
But it is surely strange innovation for senator's sing
" or collectively as public and servants of the
ton to take the position that publicity efforts made
openly to influence the opinion of Congress on any
pending issue are necessarily illegtmate and repre-
hensible.
The public regards a lobby" or propaganda"
as good or bad defensibe ndefeHsbc according to
the spirit and purpose animang it. The Senate fails
oddly to distinguish in such matters it had other
standards of judgment than those of the public. But
it fails most notably regards the principle involved
This is a free country. Opinion is free Speech is
free The press is free. The mails open to all
honest men The right of petition guaranteed by the
Constitution Some of the senators forget these facts
occasionally under the stress of personal and factona
grievances.

Judge Gets Ear
Full of Hints
On Beauty

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.-
Spectators in Judge Elliot
Craig S court today got on the
inside of some rare beauty
secrets.
In the $4,000 damage suit
flied by Mrs. Fanny Briggs
Carr against Mrs. Edna Fay
Bisbee, it was revealed that
the juice of cucumbers that
have not been shipped makes
better facial lotion than the
juice of those that have, and
that the efficacy of the cucum-
Der juice is increased if the GU
cumbers are .''pickled in al
chol.
Charging that Mrs. Bisbec, to
whom she had turned over the
management of her business,
had not followed this method,
Mrs. Carr brought the damage
action against Mrs. Bisbee.
Mrs. Bisbee retaliated by fill
ing cross complaint, asking
for. $4,000 damages, alleging
that Mrs. Carr violated a con-
tract.
Judge Craig continued the
ease until January 81.

FINANCING OLYMPIC CANES

Work has started for raising the money to send
American contestants to the Olympic games in Paris
The sum wanted is S350,000 which makes $1,000 for
every member of the American team Nc difficulty is
anticipated in financing the thing because of the wide
spread interest in it and the usual desire to Amer
ca make good showing in the games. Quotas have
been assigned to couple Of dozen cities, but city
and no individual barred from contributing:
These famous games, dating back to the ancient
days when Greece constituted the civilized world repre-
sent today form OF internationaiism about which
there no controversy In athletics, least the world
can get together forgetting its preudicesand quarres
And the sporting spirit of modern athletics giving
erybody chance and congratulating the best man

thing else.

tise the value of health and physical vgor and put

CASHINC BOG US
CHECKS BRIN CS
YOUTH TO JAIL

Leo Felix, 16 years, vino was
brought back from Texas several
weeks ago, for issuing bad checks
at Brawley, has been turned over
to Probation Officer Swanson for
investigation and report to the juve-
nile court.
According to the story told the
probation officer by Felix, the lat
ter, who was raised in the valley,
cashed $500 worth of checks in
Brawley and left Immediately for
Texas. Upon arrival in Ell Paso,
Felix proceeded to blow his money
and was finally warned by a
friendly hotel keeper, that the po-
lice were on his trail.
He Immediately crossed over the
international line to Juarez. There
he states he paid several Mexican
officials protection money so they
would not turn him over to the
American Officers. When his money
was gone, he alleges he was run out
of Juarez and decided to give him
self up to the law. He surrender
cd to a policeman in Ell Paso and
told him that he was wanted here.
The Imperial county officials were
notified and Felix was brought back
by Deputy Sheriff Oswalt.
Felix has heretofore borne good
reputation, according to the proba-
tion officer, and was we'll known
in Brawley.
