SENATOR wALsHs ADDRESS

Senator Walsh of Montana. perma- nent chairman of the Democratic na- tional convention. today joined Senator Pat Harrison in indicating what the main contentious of the Democrats will be during the campaign, and upon what they base their hopes for n political oyerturn.
 The issue that the Democrats are concentrating upon will be honesty in ofice. Walsh in his address as per manent chairman, spent most Of his tims beisboring Republican oinee holders for alleged derelictions and the fact that tbree members of the presidents cabinet had 10 walk the plank.
 The eiaim that President Coolidge joined in the hue and cry against the recent investigations and endeavored to shield the delinauents from the public odium," is unfortunately well taken. This motif was touched upon by Senator Harrison the day before when he compared the Coolidge method Of complsisanee with that Of President Grant who helped to throw out of office the men who had be- smirched the good name Of his ad- ministration.
 And at the finish President Coolidge got very little thanks for his pains to give Daugherty a chance 10 weather ths storm.

 Pacific between daylight and dusk. Twice he failed; the third time he suc-

 IL appears to be easier to conquer the air with machinery than 10 conquer mountain peaks by foot. Three times elaborate expeditions were fitted out to climb Mt. Everest. the worlds high est mountain. Three times they failed, the last failure being announced just few days ago when Mallory and Irvine, two of the leaders of the party, met death.
 Aviators have flown higher than Everest innumerable times. Gasoline and oxygen tanks, with addition of nerve, conquered the extremely rari- fled air. But the mountain climbers with solid mother earth beneath them, have been unable to conquer Everest; and many other peaks have been scaled but once or twice by hardy death-defying mountain climbers.
 Modern man makes his greatest with the aid of machinery. The conquests that require the pitting of the human body against the power of tempests and nature are far less frequent. It took a century of effort before the North and South Poles were reached; yet it is believed a modern could fly to either pole within l comparatively short time if'the at- tempt were made.
 Maughan's feat will be but the fore of other more notable air feats m the years to come. Within a genera ion it will be common for an aviator 0 fly from New York to San Francis 70 or other Pacific points without stopping and in shorter time than Msughan took to do 1t But to him goes the glory for having blazed the rail

ventional. I didn't think so, either. I'm for plain clothes at conventions.
 One delegate announced he was for new style of women's dress for every month. That's a platform idea l hadn't heard of. but was against it right away for that would mean a new dress too often and I cant af-' ford it.
 Then someone else suggested that the meeting adjourn until the next day so the delegates could go over to the big convention.
 That's how I came to discover that I was at the wrong meeting. It was a convention of the International Dress Reform Association.
 I was so mad went right back to my hotel to prepare another plank for my list of suggestions for the democratic platform.
 This plank. which I have just writ ten, reads:
 Tt shall be against the rules for the democratic convention to be held in any city where another convention is on at the same time"
 I'll take this suggestion mp tomor- row with the democratic resolutions committee.

CHICAGO. June 26.-Anti-trust pro-
ceedings aimed at more than fifty
principal oil companies of the United
States. including all the Standard COM
panies, were instituted by the govern
Inent in federal court here yesterday.
The action in equity, taken by At
torney General Stone and filed in
district court by Edwin Olson, United
States district attorney, asks an in
junction to restrain the companies
named from further violations of the
Sherman antitrust act which is
charged against them.
Oil patent contracts of the Standard
Gil Company OF Indiana, cited by At
torney General Stone in his COM
plant, are legal and honest, have been
in effect ten years and never before
have been attacked, Col. X. w.
Stewart, chairman of the board Of
directors of the Indiana company,
said last night in formal statement
charges. He offered to present every
contract to which his company is a
party to the courts for adjudication as
TO their propriety and equity.
Combine Is Charged.
The complaint charges that the oil
companies combined to control gas
oline production by pooling patent
rights in violation of the antitrust
act, and also charged "a combination
and conspiracy in restraint OF trade
and commerce among the several
states and with foreign nations in
i-~Soline. ~ kerosene and other hydro
F-rooD products"
Five companies were named as
primary defendants IN the action.
Tbav tan6a r6 oil

tends that the patents of his company
and its contracts cannot be success
fully attacked.
The suit filed by Attorney General
Stone against about fifty oil COM
panies, among which is the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana" the state
ment said. apparently relates solely
to the patents issued by the patent
office of the United States govern
ment in regular form. covering dis
tillation of petroleum oils under
pressure.
The charges against the defend
ants seem to be that these patents,
though regular in form and valid
otherwise. have been used by the
oil companies for improper and sin
lister purposes.
Defended by Stewart.
"The majority of the contracts of
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
relating to the use of this patented
process have been in existence for a
period of about ten years, and have
never been attacked before in any
court or by any Jurisdiction. With
very few exceptions, we believe that
the oil industry generally has recog-
nized them as equitable in their
terms. and proper contracts in every
respect.
From the bill itself, we gather
that the only desire of the govern
ment is to expunge certain prOvi-
Sions of a definite character from
these contracts. We are glad to SUBJ
nit this issue to the courts, and
await the decision in this case with
a full conviction that they will be
held proper and just in every re-
Spect."
Attorney General Stone, in his COM
