that does not make It any the less
malodorous.
1t would be perfectly legal. for
instance, for Senator Walsh to ac-
cept a retainer of $4,000 year
from the American Wooden Com
pany for acting as its Massachusetts,
attorney. 1t would be perfectly legal
fer him to introduce the head of the
company to the chairman of the
ways and means committee who had
the framing of the wool clauses in
the tariff bill under consideration.
But can any Mbssachusetts citizen
conceive OF a high minded man like
Senator Walsh consentine to be
placed in such situation? He
would reject such employment with
scorn.
Yet Senator Wheeler had no
scruples about the matter. He took
the job and the money.
He certainly IL no person to talk
about "a high sense of honor" II
what he did were honest and honor
able things according to the Mon
tana standard, they are not SO con-
sidered in New England.
The truth is that Senator Wheeler,
like several others who have sprung
into sudden fame as friends Of the
people" Is bit slippery. Such men
sometimes fly high. but none Of that
brand has ever been chosen to the
Presidency or Vice. Presidency. nor
is likely to be in the near future.

What is Rotary?
Or What is a Rotary Club?

These questions are being asked
by people who are not acquainted
with the objects Of Rotary. A Ro-
tary club is a group Of representative
business and professional men, one
man from each distinct business or
profession in community, who,
without secret vow or creed, but each
in his own way, have accepted the
Rotary philosophy Of service, and
have organized to study the theory
Of service as the true basis of sue
cess and happiness in business; and
as individuals, are endeavoring to
translate this theory into practice in
business and every day life. In
limiting the membership of each club
to but one man from each distinct
line Of business or profession in Il
community, the intention is that each
business shall have one worthy and
active exponent in the Rotary club,
and that the Rotary club through
its members, may have one di-
rict and responsible avenue Of APP
proach to all those engaged in each
business and profession in the com
munity. Attendance at meetings of
a Rotary club is compulsory, and any
member being absent from four sue
cessive meetings without a reason
able excuse may suffer forfeiture Of
his membership. The objects of
Rotary areNto encourage and foster
the ideal of service as the basis of
all worthy enterprise. high ethical
standards in business and profess
sions. The application of the ideal
Of service by every Rotarian to his
personal business and community
life. The development Of acquaint-
ance as an opportunity for service.
The recognition of the worthiness Of
all useful occupations and the digni-
flying by each Rotarian of his occu-
patton as an opportunity to serve
society. The advancement of under
standing, goodwill, and information

Of business and professional men

OUTSTANDING DIFFERENCES

The attempt OF I.aFollette to make
Il appear he represents Roosevelt
proxressiveism will have little infiu-

them. George Garner. in a communi-
cation to the Washington Post rips
The LaFollette pretense wide open.
He declares that Roosevelt appeal
cd to the mass. LaFollette to the
mob and that any attempt to con-
slider LaFollettism as Roosevelt pro-
xressivism shows on ignorance be-
ycnd the depths OF illiteracy."
Mr.. Garner summarizes what he
considers a few OF the outstanding
differences. which II will be well TO
keep In mind:
Roosevelt was politically hon

Editorial Comment
Wheeler
Boston Post. Deml

| Boston Post. Dem.)
1T Is time some one told the truth
about Senator Burton X. Wheeler,
LaFollette's running mate.
His one claim to fame, his success
in getting Harry Daueherty out of
an office he diSgraced. can be admit
ted. But that will not whitewas h
him.
Senator Wheeler is the same
Wheeler whom President Wilson re-
fused to reappoint as United States
District Attorney for Montana dur
ing the war, on the ground that his
continuance in Office would be
prejudicial to the best interests of
the country"
He is the same Wheeler who. as
soon as he was elected to the SEN
ate. accepted from an organization
seeking the recognition of Russia, a
sufficient sum of money to allow him
to travel in state to Russia and in
vestigate" the situation.
He is the same Wheeler who,
within one week after his election to
the Senate, accepted employment at
$4,000 a year from the Campbell Oil
company to act as attorney for them
in Montana. The sole assets of this
CohipdHS we're OIL landS IL nOped TO
secure from the United States gov
eminent. Does any one believe that
Senator Wheeler was hired for any
other reason than that he had been
elected to the Senate for six years.
Would Calvin Coolidge, Senator
Walsh or Senator Lodge have ac-
cepted such employment?
Senator Wheeler was barred by
the statutes of the United States
from appearing" before the Interior
Department on behalf of claimants
for oil lands. He did, however, see
the commissioner and arrange for an
Interview for his Montana client,
Mr.. Campbell, that he might present
In person his claims for oil lands.
The Borah committee said this
was perfectly legal and that other
senator's had done the same. But

SERIOUSLY INJURED THEIR
STocK-IN.TRADE

CASTOR B. Means Is said to have
declared the evidence which he gave
at the senatorial investigation in re-
Spouse to the efforts OF Senator
Wheeler "a tissue of lies" given be-
cause Of threats and promises from
Wheeler.
There was. noticeably among those
familiar with conditions at the Ma
tional Capital. many who thought
the bewildering testimony given by
! Means "a tissue Of lies" at the time
but 1t was on such testimony. much
Of which would not be accepted in a
court. that Wheeler built up the
charges of. which he and the Demo
Gratis are now making such lavish
use in political ventures.
Manifestedly Means is not entitled
to credence with regard to any of his
testimony. The dog that will fetch
! will carry it has been said; If he
would swear to lie because OF
| threat or promise from Wheeler, he
Is open to suspicion OF having some
Interior purpose other than telling
the truth for denouncing himself as
a liar. Another phase Is also mani
fest. So much of the charges as was
sustained by Means testimony is
now without support and should be
disregarded. The entire senatorial,
investigation is discredited to a large
extent.
Here We have very impressive
object lesson of the mischief attend
ing mountaineering for partisan
purposes. Undoubtedly there were
facts needing to be brought to light
by investigation; not always may the
truth be found in clean surroundings
but the method of sitting it and la
belling it should be above suspicion
This investigation on the eve of a
political campaign resorted to meth
DDS which a court Of law under rules
Of evidence would not have admit
ted. The result TO date largely dis
credits the whole affair and leaves
the public in doubt about the actual
guilt OF any. 1t must depend upon
the courts Of law for its information
In the courts the President Is having
the truth brought to the light. His
method is the only one on which the
country may depend. Not only that
but the stock in trade Of the LaFol-
lctte crowd and the managers of the
Democratic party has been sadly i'm
paired by the latest testimony of the
aforesaid CASTOR b. Means.

New England Week

New England is the great manu-
featuring center of the country. New
England Week, with it's displays and
demonstrations, should be an eye
opener for New England people.
Few Of US realize our advantages.
fewer still realize our opportunities.
We take much for granted.

ton to many.

ported cotton goods valued at $685.

During 1923 the United States ex-
ported rubber goods valued at $32,-
200,79S. New England produces 40
per cent of the rubber goods manu-
featured in the United States.
Last year we exported a total of
$17,516,339 in boots and shoes. New
England produces more than 40 per
cent of the boots and shoes made in
the United States.
During 1928 we exported textile
machinery to the value of $9,043.667.
New England makes Is per cent of
the textile machinery produced in
the United States.
During 1923 we exported s4.771.327
in rubber boots and shoes. New
England produces 81 per cent of the
rubber boots and shoes made in this
country.
Last year we exported wooden
goods valued at $7.S77.536. New
England produces Sc per cent Of the
wooden goods made in the United
States.
New England produces about 70
per cent of all the boot and shoe
findings turned out in the United
States; s. per cent of worsted goods.
81 per cent of plate ware, 81 per cent
of silver ware. 81 per cent of sus-
penders, garters and elastic webbing.
and Sc per cent Of combs and hair
pins.
These figures of exports do not ex =
haust by any means the list of New
England products. We raise and
manufacture here many things that
never appear in the export reports.
things that are consumed at home or
sent to other parts of the country.
New England Week should not
only stimulate New England pride.
but should bring to it's people a real

mendous resources of this section.
