sentry was shot to death last
Tuesday night.
The boards Investigation, &
was announced this afternoon,
developed beyond . question oe
doubt that the Walter Reed SEN

The boards finding which was
similar in all respects to that Of
the coroner's jury, substantiates
the declaration Of The Times re-

Times that Shore had been muir

Inspector Grant admits that his
men will have doubly hard time
clearing up the murder mystery
now that they have permitted q
week to pass without giving It
thought. It Is inferred that the
local police bowed TO the win OF
the military authorities at Walter
Reed when they hastily concluded
1t was suicide.
Why the theory OF suicide should
ever have been advanced Ii In itself
the biggest mystery Of all. There
was never any evidence It was sui
eide, and this fact is best proven
by the fact that while the coroner's
jury yesterday speedily rendered the
opinion 1t was murder, they had no
more information to work on than
did both the Walter Reed authori.
ties and the local police, who, by
some queer quirlx. insisted upon

Evidence Of the indifference with
which the case was at first ap.

the fact that neither took the
trouble to pick up from the spot Of

i AopuOucan Leader OF the House.
That the agricultural interests
of the United States merit and need
most careful and sympathetic con.
sideration, goes without saying
They constitute today the least
prosperous portion of the whole
economic system. They are the
greatest and most fundamental Of
all, and they have in the last few
years suffered most Of all from de.
preston Of prices.
Farmers are not however, on the
one hand, to be pitied as paupers,
which they are not, nor on the
other to be begpfled with pre-.
tense that they are really better off
than they know themselves to be.
Either of those treatments they
justly resent.
Not Treated As Glass.
The policy of this Adninistra.
ton is to treat them on sound
business principles. as a very
important integral part Of the
whole nation, and not as a class
or ''bloc" apart from the rest.
1t was, indeed. largely because Of
such separate treatment that they
were plunged into their present
misfortunes.
Five years ago, in the fall Of
1919, enormous initiation prevailed
throughout all the industries of
the nation, and with 1t a partly
real and partly fictitious pros
perity. Such conditions usually
prevail at the close of a great
war. But they are not permanent.
The then Democratic Administra.
ton decided to begin a work OF de
flation.
Too Sudden Deflation.
Unfortunately, however. instead
of initiating gradual and general
deflation all around, It precipitatei
a too sudden and extreme deflation,
in only q part of the economic
system. It Debated the agricul.
tural interests first Of all. So
loans to farmers were called in.
renewals were refused, and redis
count rates were raised. In con.
sequence the farmers were unable
to hold their stocks of produce
and were compelled to sell. The
result was that prices fell and the
farmers suffered disaster.
That was the state OF affairs
which confronted this Administra
ton upon its accession in the spring
OF 1921, and which it has for the
three and a half years since beer

~ friend to knit for her a yellow
garter. The woman friend must ask
4 man, unknown to the girl, to knit
ten rows of the garter. The girl who
receives and wears the garter will
marry the man who knit the ten rows
within a year. Another version simply
says that if a girl wears a yellow
garter every day In the year, or day
and night for six months, she will be
married at the expiration of one of
those periods.
This yellow garter superstition Is
COMMON in this country and Canada.
In the first version of the superstition
we have as one of the magical ele-
ments the knitting of the ten rows by
the future husband. BY so doing the
man, through the magic of the doctrine
Of knots, ties himself and his destiny
into the garter. thus attaching him
self with the garter TO the young lady
whO wears it-gOod primitive magic.
In both versions the garter works by
a magical practice akin 70 the doctrine
of knots, which might be called the
doctrine of ligatures. A ligature binds
physically; therefore it binds spirit
ually was the reasoning of primitive
mar and is the reasoning today among
savage tribes as attested by many of
their customs. The doctrine of llga-
lures is found running back through
all ancient mythologies and forms of
heather worship.
AS to the color of the garter which
brings a husband to the unmarried
girl yellow is the color of the SUM-.
of the gold of the wedding ring and
of the ripened grain-and thus well
calculated, from a magical point of
view, to add power to the effect Of the
llgature.

STANDING BY
PRINCIPLES
By THOMAS A. CLARK
Dean of Men, University Of
Illinois.

It's a test of character for a young
fellow to stand by his principles, espe-
cially if they are of that old fashioned
kind that have respect for self-con-
trol and religion. Worthington found
it so when he went to work for the
first time in the city. He had come
from the country and he was still old
fashioned in some ways. 1t took nerve
to say his prayers while some unre-
generate sinner giggled, or to start off
for church or Sunday School while
the other fellows were either in bed or
sitting around in their pajamas read
ing the Sunday paper. 1t wasn't easy
always to admit that he didn't smoke
or to refuse approval when a smart
young clerk cracked a vulgar joke,
and, as | said, it was a test of char
acter and a test which too many funk.
Every one admires the man who
stands by his principles even when he
is loath to admit it. If he laughs or
makes light of your respect for re-
ligion OF your regard for a clean
tongue and a clean life, it is merely
" OOAoLCl uiO OnA MCdhHtoS VI ~
test your sincerity. He respects you
if you stand and despises your weak
ness if you lack the courage of your
convictions.
When Jimmy Hunter got religion"
during one of the evangelistic cam
paigns conducted at his college years
ago, he knew perfectly well that he'd
have >" prayers openly. When
he that Butch" Wheeler,
biz GUS and agnostic, would
say 20, his heart sank, but he
stood by his principles and knelt down
by the bad in the dormitory, his body
trembling and his lips dumb. Some
body laughed. But it was Butch" who
Numbered out, "Be quiet. Jimmy's
doing what he thinks is right. and
what some of us, perhaps, would be
better of If we did. If any man in
terferes, he'll wish he hadn't" And
quiet reigned.
II there were 80 men or women with
force and with moral and religious
backbone, they could revolutionize al
most any community-even this one,
in fact. 1t isn't necessary to talk or
preach much. All that is needed is
to go ahead and lead your life quietly,
clearly, c~onservatively, without shame
and in accordance with the principles
you know are right. It's example that
counts most.

GAS RATES UP ANOTHER NOTCH

have to put up with that triumvir-

bow and make obediance to our lord
The British Empire kept piling up
taxes on the colonies in the early
history of our country, until the tea
tax struck the match tNst made the
fame, and the Revolution swept away
the burden. The time is not far dis

and men like those of the Public Ser
vice Commission, with jelly-fsh back
bones, viii be swept out like chaff
before mighty wind. Exorbitant
price sanctioned by any government,
high taxes created by an legislation
are becoming top-heavy, and must
sooner or later be lowered to nor
nal level, or radical change will
take place. We plead that common
sense be used in our municipal, our
county, our state and national gov
ernments.
