OPINION NEEDING PROOF
TO CONTRARY

Secretary Loomis of the American
Dairy Association declares it Is i'm
possible to convict million dollars
in the United States. 1t is extremely
probable there are many more OF the
same mind. Indeed it is not incred-
ible, that some such an opinion In the
minds of people contributes mater
tally to crime, also to the laXity ana
tolerance which are bringing justice
into disrepute. Is that opinion cor
rect? We doubt it. We believe a
million dollars may be convicted. will
be whenever the general public be-
comes convinced that this is the es-
sential thing to do If they would pre-
serve their liberties.
One might infer a possible recog-
milton of this condition Of things In
the decision of the. Governments
counsel in the Teapot Dome case. 1t
is said they will move for the indict-
ment Of Harry Sinclair, Albert e.
Fall and the Dohenys on criminal
charges. We hope they Will not vary
from this decision. 1t is possible, If
they do not succeed in securing a
conviction, that they will be able to
bring out certain facts about which
there should be considerable public
curiosity, even If there isn't. The
first case brought against these peo-
pie was quashed on legal technical
ity. The criminal woods are full Of
criminal technicalities, apparently to
be had il one bids high enough. 1t
is not conducive to pride in country
to conclude that its Government is in
capable of overcoming those techni-
calities and Of protecting that which
IS entrusted to it.

Pretty soon, with a snort and
puff. and a whistle and a wheeze,
the train started off. Yes, away it
went to Strawberry HilE a pretty
little village not many miles away
where ripe berries grew a-plenty
and the robins loved to stay.
When everything was quiet again
the Old Dog Driver stepped down
from his seat and. patting the Billy
Goats, he said, soft and low, kind of
soothing like you know; Now, But

l must get n box on the platform
and We'll take it down to the Old
Bramble Patch"
AS soon as the box was lifted into
the stagecoach, the Old Dog Driver
climbed UP to his seat and picking
up the reins. clicked his long red
tongue against his teeth. Then away
went the little Billy Goats. throwing
out their heels and tossing their
heads. Faster and faster they gal
Hoped, until, all of a sudden, just like
that. quick as n pistol crack, some
body shouted STOP,

rohber who was always stealing, or
trying to steal, a chicken or rabbit,
or anything that came along.

1t hardly follows that one breathing
it would be immune.
1t may be that one would die

there are some, especially In the con-

the old gas exhaust bad enough. But
DIR. Yandell Henderson. Yale pro-

"loony" gas will cause widespread
chronic lead poisoning in the cities:
that as between tuberculosis and
this poisoning he would prefer the
former. He further declares this
matter has not been thoroughly in
vestigated by the Bureau of Mines;
that it is the greatest health menace
which ever faced the public.
1t does not appear that financial
interests are back of Prof. Hender-
son in this attitude. 1t would seem
to deserve attention and to be follow

DANGEROUS THRILLING WITH
CRIME

In Chicago the police apprehend a
criminal making use of the public
library for information in perfecting
his plans fer a great bank robbery.
At his boarding place they find
tanks of gas and sawed off shot
guns and smoke bombs with which
10 battle pursuit also equipment of
gas masks and automobiles for
the bandits protection.
The same day the venerable Elilu
Root addressing a bar meeting in
San Francisco declared there must
be a radical change in American
criminal Jurisprudence. adding THE
country has reached a point where
it 10 impossible for any American
lawyer to know the law.
In another big city a few days ago
bandits entered store and insisted
en- the men going to the rear and
removing their pants-and the pub
lie laugh as at good joke. And
the bandits laughed! A huge joke!
A practical joke, il you will.
One practical joke has been
known to incite another, not always
Sc funny. 1t might seem like a
practical joke If some day bandit
was hung with his own "galluses"-
or do they wear belts for attaching
holsters and scalps Of peaceable
citizens? And then some day an
innocent man might be mistaken for
bandit and hung before he had op-
portunity to make any explanations.
Such annoying incidents have al
ways occurred whenever the citizens
turn to playing practical jokes on
the bandits.
Really Mr.. Roots advice is timely
We should be able to have laws and
lawyers better acquainted; crook
catchers more alert on the job and
less addicted to posing for the
movies and writing for books and
lectures; courts enough to make
prompt trials possible; judges pos
sessed of common sense and ability
to apply it. In point of fact these
needs are of such gravity that tri-
fling with them has become a most
dangerous procedure.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain
How To Treat,

Medlcal authorities state that near
~ nine-tenths of the cases Of stomach
trouble. indigestion, sourness, burning.
gas, bloating, nausea. etc, are due to
an excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach and not as some believe to a
lack Of digestive juices. The delicate
stomach lining is irritated, digestion ia
9eIayed and food sours, causing the
disagreeable symptoms which every
stomach sufferer knows SO well.
Artificial digestents are not needed
IN such cases and may do real harm.
;rry laying aside all digestive aids and
instead get from any druggist a few
ounces OF Bisurated Magnesia and take
teaspoonful in quarter glass OF
water right after eating. This sweet
ems the stomach, prevents the forma-
tlon of excess acid and there is no
sourness. gas or pain. Bisurated Mag
nesia Gin powder or tablet form-never
liquid or milk is harmless to the
stomach, inexpensive to take and is the
most efficient form of magnesia for
stomach purposes. 1t isl used by
thousands of people who enjoy their
meals with no more fear of indiges-
ticn.-Adv.
