CIeanun For Ohio

The conviction of the former fed
eral prohibition director of Ohio
and of ten others accused of associa-
ton with him in the Hayner whisky
conspiracy by jury in the district
court Of Cleveland, ought to mean a
long step toward cleaning up stu
alton that has long been disgrace
to the Buckeye state. In some OF
these cases appeals will be taken,
offering the possibility that the ac-
ton OF this lower court may be set
aside. For the present, however,
the public is warranted in assuming
that the finding of the Cleveland
jury will stand.
One week from tomorrow Judge
Westenhaver will have before him
for sentence eleven Ohio men who
have pleaded guilty or been convict
ed of violating the federal liquor
law; men who by their own confes-
sion or by the decision of this jury
deliberately and cunningly plotted
against the statutes and the consti-
tuition, to which men so accused in
variably fee for protection as soon
as the long arm of the government
sweeps them into court.
To the vigorous and intelligent
prosecution on the part of District
Attorney Bernstein the state and
community owes in large part this
fortunate conclusion to trouble
some case.

Attends Convention At Kansas City
Mr.. j. w. Tannehill of Columbus
was in attendance at the national
pilding and Loan convention held
at Kansas City Mo, last week. 1t
is said to have been the largest
convention of Building and Loan
people ever held. The following
concerning the convention was in
cluded in an article which appear
ed in the Kansas City Times:
A ,milder man than w H. Peck,
the secretary of the kalamazoo
Mich, Savings and Loan associa-
ton, one could not imagine. But it
befell him to raise storm in the
convention of the United States
League of Local Building and Loan
associations at Hotel Muehlebach
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Peck read
a paper on Membership Fees, =
which was phrased very pleasantly
and inoffensively, though he warm
ed the convention against the prac-
tice of selling memberships in build
ing and loan associations. 1t would
make trouble, said. Mr.. Peck. And
it did. Nothing could be more
honeyed than the accents of the
delegate who jumped up to say that
they had with them Jos. W. Tan
nehill, state superintendent of f.
nance of Ohio, who was experienced
in the matter.
Accordingly, Mr.. Tannehill went
to the platform in the plain and
easy manner usually connoted with
an old shoe. But he knew how to
throw monkey wrenches all right.
He told some really funny stories
and remarked that the famous King
law in Ohio should have been pres
ent in 1920, instead of 1928. II so,
it would have obviated the unpleas-
ant fate of 27S alleged building and
loan associations which in three
years had amassed $50 millions Of
capital by selling and paying to
promoters "a millions in member

Monetary Pledge
of Centuries Ago

An archaeological expedition sent out
by the University of Pennsylvania dug
up a clay tablet in the ruins Of the
ancient city of Nippur, Babylon, with
an Inscription upon 1t which, trans
lated, reads as follows:
Thirty bushels Of dates are due to
Bel Nadin Shun, son Of Marashu, by
Bel Bullitsu and Sha Nabu Shu, sons
of Kirebti, and their tenants In the
month of Tashri (harvest month"; of
the thirty-fourth year of King Artax-
erxes I, they shall pay the dates,
thirty bushels, according TO the meas
ure of Bel Nadin Shun, in the town
Of Bit Balatsu- Their field, cultivated
and uncultivated, their fef estate, Is
held as a pledge for the dates. namely,
thirty bushels, by Bel Nadin Shun- An
other creditor shall not have power
over It."
This tablet was dated 430 B. c., or
nearly 2,4OO years ago. 1t may not be
