THEUNIs SEES PEACE GAIN.
Exchange of Views in Britain and
Brussels Praised.

By the Associated Press
BRUSSELS, June 25 Premier
Theunis, after yesterdays conferences
with Premier Herriot of France, said
that he had every reason to be salts
fed with the results of the exchanges
of views at Chequers Court and Brus-
sells. Regarding these conversations
an official communique states:
They give hope of close co-opera-
ton between Great Britain, France.
Italy and Belgium. with the view of
assuring the application of the ex-
pertS plan
The tendency in Belgian political
circles is to attribute no other signifi-
cance to the conference of the pre-
miers than an indication of the dis
position all around to apply the
Dawes plan.

IN CHICAGO. TOO

In line with the recent opinion cited in these columns, declaring that au- tomobiles might not lawfully be searched for liquor without search warrant. unless there was visible, tangible evidence that the vehicle was transporting liquor. comes news of the ruling of a Chicago police court judge.
 The humorous aspects of this latter case need not be dwelt upon. The smile comes when it is explained that the woman in the case had been call ed "the walking bar room" by tse police, and is alleged to have carried, under long coat, a crescent shaped copper tank containing moonshine and in her pockets two whiskey glasses. Nevertheless the court held in so many words that the officers had no right to look under that coat unless they had search warrant.
 Facetious people need not bother to remark there was something most attractive about her." nor that "a moment spent with her would bring a warming glow to the heart" Such frivolous remarks are entirely out of place and destructive of the serious ness of the situation. But well may it be said that the general trend of judicial opinion is that even since the passage of the volstead act reputable citizens may drive their cars along the highway without suffering the indig- nity of being stopped and searched and that women may walk along the street even if they do happen to wear long coats, without being afraid that some man will have the right 10 come along and search them without cause,

 To take care of matters between the time of the adoption of the plan and the time when it is in full opera ton some s20,00O,OOO a moAth will be needed. Germany wants a moratori- um, but the committee will probably recommend s3O0,gO0.oOO loan to Germany instead. Such loan will prob ably be made by American and British bankers, and will be fioated in the United States by J. P.

in the claims of those who believe in the possibility of communication with the spirits of those who have died.
 The Scientific American should be given the benefit of the doubt. Far from being spiritualists ourselves. we may nevertheless admit that complete ignorance of what is going on in the unknown world inspires the cultiva- tion of an open mind on this matter which intrigues more, perhaps, than any other conceivable. There are those who believe they have communi- cated with the spirits of the dead. Nor are all of these people ignorant nor credulous nor insane. In the light of what has been discovered in com paratively recent years. only tho most firm conservative feels justified in say ing that this one thing, at least, Is impossible.

PREPARATIONS

The news Of the progress being made in regard 10 the comnittee's plan concerning German reparations has come in such fragmentary dis patches that II has been difficult to define clearly just how matters stand. As nearly as it may be determined al present the situation is as follows:
 The American. French and British experts have already agreed upon 3 general plan. subcommittee is at work making that plan concrete. Ger many is committed to the plan through the adoption by the Reich stag of the gold discount bank bill. and France has agreed to if in effect under the conditions Of the Morgan loan Of sis0. 900. 900 10 her.
 Associated Press dispatches state that the plan calls for the collection from Germany Of certain (unstatcdD amounts over a period of five years. such amounts 10 be greater each year. The money is 10 be collected from excise taxes on monopolics such as matchcs. spirits and tobacco. This wiH be done without Allied super,i- sion. As the Allies will take only portion Of these taxes. Germany will sfiH have good reason 10 collect them fbr her own benefit.
 The next way these collections will b. nore from Germany is from inter- i est on bonds issued by inc German 1 railways 10 approximately one half of their estimated valuation. Other i collections wiii be made from divi- dends from stock in the new gold | issue bank.
 These amounts collected sill be d. vided among the allies. each getting I g definite sum of cash each year from excise taxes. railway bonds and bank I stock. Under the plan France. for in- sianee. should she want coal from the Euhr. could pay the owners Of the Iinhr mines by drafts on her credits

DIRECT PRIMARIES

It is announced that direct pri' maries will be employed this year bs the democratic party of the city tc select the candidates who will make up the democratic ticket The old system of making the selections ir caucus will be abandoned.
 Any step which gives 10 the voters themselves a greater choice of possi- ble office holders is a step in the di- rection of making government in . city like New Britain a more popular government. If the theory of a gov srnment Of. for and by the people Is ihe best theory, then any movement to give the people greater latitude, within reason, is commendablo movement.
 It is for this reason that one be- lieves this action by the democratic organization here is wise one. The expense will be greater, but the re- snltant benefits will more than mako up for this added cost.
 Every argument against the direct primaries of this character is an arr gumeni against our form of govern ment. It may be said that a group of sincere men, democrats or republi- cansA would be better fitted 10 select the various candidates for office than the people themselves would be. Such group, possessing more intimate knowledge of the requirements for office candidate should have, might be able to form a wiser opinion were the men forming such group repub- liean or democratic, always 10 be in- nucnced solely by consideration of the merits of the candidates, So, it might be said, that group of wise men would be better able 10 select one who would be a good president of inc United States than the people would be. But the trouble is that such group Of "wise men" would not re- main disintcrested. IL would be abso- iutcly contrary 10 human nature. Leaving the selection of president in the hands Of few men would dc- stroy the country, 1t is the firm belief of the men of this lard. A republican form Of government stands or falls on the right action Of the great majority. That. it is our belief, may be de- pended npon more safely than any other one human proposition. Under the form Of government which has proven so advantageous to this country. the direct primaries in the selection of candidates is in harmony with that underlying principle.

"WHY NOT TRY HIM NOW"

The New Haven Journal Courier, in
 an editorial under the above title. cor rect in many of it's characterizations ! of the nature of the evidence allowed to be introduced before the Daugherty
 investigation, reaches a conclusion that would appear to be the directly illogical one according to its statement of facts. This matter is here dis
 cussed in a purely academic way, without stressing again the point
 made by the Herald many weeks ago that the time President Coolidge should have replaced Mir. Daugherty
 with someone else was at the time he
 had the first opportunity of choosing his own cabinet.
 The Journal Courier declares that
 the witnesses who have appeared before the Wheeler committee of in- yestigation have been of a character to excite suspicion as to their sincerity and reliability etc" Grant that this may be true of some if not all of them. Previous to the appearance of this group of 'bunkers' (men referred to by Tex Rickard) on the witness stand" the Journal goes on, "a woman was permitted to roam at ,,..u ,., ,o .,;,,, ,i,,f,,t .uen,ainn unnf, the man under investigation without rcbuke and without subjecting her to a cross examination by the counsel for the defense. We do not hesitate to say that no such testimony was given before, and encouraged in its giving. in the humblest court in the land underline least experienced judge of limited jurisdiction etc" Grant, fl ono will, that all this is true--and certainly it is scarcely an oyerstate- ment of the situation.
 Thus, according to the promises, we have man whose reputation has been besmirched by incompetent and irrelevant testimony which would not be admitted in court Of law. Every unfair advantage has been taken in prosecuting him. according to the facts as here assumed. Hearsay tosti- mony and worse, according to the statement has been admitted. The prosecution has not been confined by any recognized rules of evidence and, naturally therefore, has had an un- fair leeway in it's attempts to discredit the attorney general.
 But the concluding sentence Of the editorial, following the line suggested by the title Why not tryhi mnow," is. "Put Mir. Daugherty on the wit ness stand and let the rule of evidence govern" Why this? Why put this handicap upon man injured by hearsay testimony? Why restrict a man, in defending himself, by rules which were not considered by those who testified against him.
 The lawyer feels that all inycsti- gations would be more just were the rules Of evidence to be applied. They are rules founded upon common sense and in order to know whether or not certain evidence is. admissible, the wise attorney. unable to find a pre- codeBt, uses his common sense. But it is submitted that it would not be q display of the spirit of fair play, Of which the Couricr-J Journal speaks. to limit the testimony admitted in the defense Of man by the legal evi- dencc where. as in this case. his have been allowed 10 dis , gard them entirely. Since hearsay seidencc has been adhiitted: hearsay evidence should be admitted in re- 5uftaL
