beat around the bush" when you
can't dive straight in. So Fall, Do
heny and Sinclair have a clean slate,
as far as criminal charges are con-
cerned.
This is the ruling of the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia.
It appears that an assistant United
States district attorney was in the
grand jury room when evidence was
being presented. The court held that
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-04-17

because special counsel had been en-
ployed to have charge Of the case, the
regular Departments Of Justice law
yers had no business monkeying with
it and were improperly in the grand
jury room.
Il was government case, Of course,
but the regular government lawyers
had to keep out because special law
yers had been engaged.
Now the government is going to APP
peal from that ruling: and If the
appeal fails it will try to get new
indictments.
But meanwhile Fall, Doheny and
Sinclair stand forth with nice clean
slates and they have every reason to
be happy. The law is a wondrous
institution, no doubt. But sometimes
Justice must be tempted to ask her
self queer questions about the law and
courts.

News that ships of the Atlantic
scouting fleet of the navy have been
using whales as targets off Magda-
lena Bay leaves an exceedingly bad
taste in the mouth. Dispatches from
San Diego say that masters of west
bound steamers reported that whales
bearing evidence of having been killed
by battleship shells have been sighted
off the Lower California coast.
If the reports are true, the navy
has been guilty of almost wanton
destruction of animal life for which
there seems no excuse. Whales, which
are among the most majestic of the
earth's great mammals, deserve a bet
ter fate than being blown to pices by
battelship shells.
There are plenty of means of af-
fording warships target practice with
out killing helpless monsters Of the
deep and the navy is not increasing
its prestige by killing them with big
guns, against which they have no de-
tense except flight. Aside from any
question Of shedding innocent blood,
it does not seem fair and sporting
thing for the navy to do.
The Navy Department should order
without delay that whales be no long
er used as tragets.

Indictments against Fall, Doheny,

Sense OF Congress

Congress enacts the laws and the
executive branch of Government is
charged with enforcement. We can
not nullify because of divided opin-
ion. We can not jeopardize orderly
government with contempt for law
enforcement. Modification or repeal
is the right of a free people when
ever the deliberate and intelligent
sentiment commands, but perversi0n
and evasion mark the paths of the
failure of government itself" Rep
resentative Sutherland of Alaska, in
speaking on law enforcement in Alas
ka.

CAPITAL COMMENT

Congressman Clyde Kelly says
workers must organize to get any
where. There is only one thing they
can get unorganized, and that is the
worst of it.
The Teapot Dome oil steal was
turned over to special counsel in or
der to get results. The results, so
far, are about the same as if Bob La
Toilette had never exposed the mess.
Senator Wheeler was indicted, and
Fall, Sinclair & Co. freed by District
of Columbia tribunals during the
past two weeks. Who said she is
blind?
We read lot about "yeIlow-dog
contracts" but have not yet deter
mined whether the saffron canine APP
plies to the contracts or to the en-
ployer who uses them.
One thing most Of US use that is
union made is paper money. The
Bureau of Engraving and Printing is
organized throughout, which means
that postage stamps, revenue stamps,
and bonds are also the product of
union labor. And postal cards are
done by union electrotypers and press
men in the Government Printing Of
fee. ~

Agriculture is our basic industry.
Civilization advances and declines
with it. That has been the rule all
through the centuries. Congress at

islatiOn looking to its relief. It may
be justly censured for not meeting
the situation. The farmer should re-
ceive greater proportion Of price On
his product to the consumer. IN 1922
the money value of his crops as they
left the farms was about $4,000. 000,-
600. The consumer paid $22, 900. 000,-
900 for the same identical crops.
Nearly fifteen billions was taken by
those who stand between the producer
and the consumer. The bridge is too
long and should be shortened. The
producer must get more for his la
bor.-Representative Gibson of Yer
mont, in discussing the agricultural
problem in Vermont.
Alternate periods of inflated and
debated prices always result in tax
ing property from one class Of our
citizens and turning 1t over to an
other class. Fluctuations such as
have occurred from time to time dur
ing the last half century can not help
but leave a trail of destruction Of
property and blasted hopes in their
wake. Representative Burtness of
North Dalktoa, in addressing the
House on stabilizing the buying pow
er of money.

indictments.
But meanwhile Fall, Doheny' and
Sinclair stand forth with nice clean
slates and they have every reason to
be happy. The law is a wondrous
institution, no doubt. But sometimes
Justice must be tempted to ask her
self queer questions about the law and
courts.
It is solemnly announced that the
Department of Agriculture has found
out how to eliminate the odor Of garlic
from the breath. It is set forth that
there will be no odor of garlic If no
garlic is eaten. That is a gem of
wisdom Of purest ray serene.
This finding is in consonance with
another expert opinion which some
ars ago is said to have emenated
from the same government depart
ment. The department had been con-
fronted with the problem of how own
ers of mules might avoid being kicked
by those hardy and temperamental
beasts. It was announced by the ex-
pert having the matter in charge that
the only way to surely avoid being
kicked by a mule was not to get be-
hind the mule.
One of the reasons we have govern:
rent is so that we may be cautioned
and advised in such vital matters as
these. We now look for expert gov
ernmentaI advice on how to prevent
slipping on banana skins and how to
prevent being run over by locomo-
tives.
Farmers will do well to remember
the economic law stated by the econo-
mist, Gregory King, who estimated
that surplus of one-tenth Of farm
crop would decrease the price three
tenths, and that a surplus of two
tenths would decrease the price eight
tenths.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics recently issued it's "Agricul-
tural Outlook for 1925" with practi-
cal application of this law. 1t stated:
Continued expansion in the dairy
industry has depressed prices of dairy
products, and with growing foreign
competition a further increase in the
number of dairy cows would probably
retard recovery of prices"
eff there is an average world crop
of wheat in 1925, the present high
price of wheat can not be expected to
prevail for the 1925 crop, although
prices are likely to be better than in
1923. Growers of hard spring wheat
are cautioned not to increase prodicJ
ton above domestic requirements"
Cotton growers should consider
carefully local conditions in connec-
ton with the more general situation,
and the prospects for profitable en-
ployment Of their land, labor and
equipment in the production of other
crops, particularly in the production
of feed"
Farmers tend to produce a surplus
because they are merciless competi-
tors of each other. When they organ
ize and cooperate, they will be taking
big step toward solving their prob
lens and improving their economic
status.

the entire length of the great Steeple-
chase roller coaster, one of the largest
in the world
According to Edward F. Tillyou.
proprietor of Steeplechase, this is
the first time a picture has been
made over the course of such roller
coaster. Because of its precipitate
inclines and its eck-breaking curves,
this roller coaster Is one of the big
gest thrillers on the island.
The camera man for this stunt
was Jimmy Yong Howe. Chinese.
well known on the West coast as
former f1y-weight boxing champion.
The camera was mounted on a
board at the back of a roller coaster
car. facing Menjou and young Jimmy
Ward. a freckle-face New York hoy,
who sat on the front seat OF a car
hooked on behind the camera car.
Howe rode backwards the entire
course OF the coaster. lie was bound
to the car by wires. and an assistant

legs to keep him from being flung out
