@ lied to the judge and jury IN
- Federal court in Great Falls, Mont, the
other day.
One George B. Hayes testified that Sena-
tor Wheeler met him on a given day in the
lobby of the Waldorf Astoria and discussed the
case of Gordon Campbell with him, intimating
there was millions in it for Hayes. Sena-
tor Wheeler testified he never saw Hayes until
on a later day he dragged him before the SEN
ate committee to tell what he knew Of certain
bootlegging operations. Wheeler's narration
of how he spent the day in question seems to
have convinced the court, for he was acquitted
aften ten minutes deliberation.
Somebody must have lied. That perjury
and it is punishable. Assistant United States
Attorney General Donovan, who produced
Hayes as a witness, was heralded to the coun-
try when appointed as a relentless prosecutor,
one who always got his man, regardless of the
mans Importance or influence.
It ought to be possible to establish the
facts. There WASH It time at Great Falls. Hayes
was a last-minute Surprise" witness, it being
the Governments idea of fair play to produce
him too late for the defense to furnish contro-
%verting evidence. The defense happened to
have enough such evidence, however, to wreck
the proposed surprise, but not to establish a
case of perjury. The trial was practically at
an end when this strange episode occurred.
1t ought to be easy for a relentless prosecu-
tor like Donovan to find perjury somewhere in
this situation He knows all about Wheeler
having in his department all the reports made
by all those investigators who were sent to
Montana to "get" the Senator. He knows a
lot about Hayes, including the departments
charges against him concerning the evasion of
taxes on $4,000 900 of income.
1t is called the Department of Justice, but
some people won t believe there is anything il
the name unless action results from that OBJ
vious perjury in Great Falls.

Silly Intolerance

? INTOLERANCE is carried to the verge of
l Stiffness when So-called patriotic societies
rush into print to tell distinguished delegates
to the international Council of Women what
they shall not discuss.
The particular offense is the objection of
the honorary president of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy to any discussion of
the League of Nations by women from all parts
of the world.
1t makes no difference how we may feel
about the League Of Nations. Some patriotic
Americans are for it; others are against it.
But there's no good reason why visiting dele
gates to the International Council of Women
should not discuss it all they want to; ana it
makes no difference whether they resolute for
or against it.
Probably the Directing women think they
are patriotic, but in reality they are only silly.
The only excuse we can think of for such a
narrow attitude of mind is that the State De-
p%artment set an example in muzzling Count
karolyi, and wouldn't let him come into the
country to see his sick wife unless he agreed to
keep his mind closed on politics, either foreign
or domestic.
AS Americans we have a right to be narrow
and provincial, and even to make ourselves
look ridiculous to the remainder of the world.
But we have no right to be rude to visitors from
other nations. Certainly we need not fear full
and free discussion of any subject the eminent
delegates feel disposed to discuss.

From what did the name Gar
field originate?
From the Scandinavian word
Garth" meaning yard or garden.
Should one lay cinder under a
cement walk?
In laying a cement walk it is bet
ter to put cinder down first as this
will help In the drainage, especially
if 1t is a long walk. Cinder is not
essential but is recommended.
Is night air any purer than day
airf
There is very little difference in
the purity Of the air. except that
there is less wind at night than in
the day. and also less traffic, and
therefore less stirring up of the dust
and dirt Of the streets.

RIGHT HERE
IN INDIANA
GAYLORD NELSON:

easily adapts itself to the necessf-
ties of civic decoration as a flag.
And usually the only flag avail
able i'm sufficient quantity to make
a showing is the Stars and Stripes.
Consequently it rs commonly used
whenever a town wants to bedeck
itself gaily for any purpose.
Perhaps nothing proves the one
ness of this country more than
this use of the national flag. Citi-
zens do not think of a flag but OF
THE flag.
However. the Stars and Stripes
is not suitable for display on all
occasions. It means more than a
bright bit Of color along a drab
main street to welcome visiting
firemen or denote the opening of
Chautauqua week. 1t is the sym
Dol of a mighty nation and lofty
patriotism.
The adoption of city flags is a
way out. For purely decorative
purposes the municipal banners
would serve as admirably as Old
Glory. The display Of the latter
could then he reserved to occa
sions of more than local signih-
canse-which would assure it
added dignity and respect.

flood. famine. ~pestilence and civil
war tread on each others heels
through the land.
Modern man does not need trees
as much as his ancestors. He no
longer makes his nest in them nor
swings from the branches by his
tail. He builds his houses of brick,
stone. concrete and mortgages
and burns slate. Nevertheless,
trees are still useful for other pur-
poses than propagating oyster
shell scale and gypsy moths.
Forests influence climate and
rainfall, conserve moisture and fer
tile soil. Except for its forests the
State Of Indiana would have
washed into the Gulf of Mexico be-
fore the first Hoosier arrived to
stick a plow into 1t.
Reforestation is n of the most
important problems confronting
the country. New forests can't be
grown in a minute-but only by
steady work of public and private
agencies supported by pubic
opinion.

Square, then the fashionable head

the diacontented and indeed desolate
posses5or Of extravagant gowns and
jewelry and native and foreign
finery, but still insists that she has
nothing to wear.
Why do we say things are dead
as a doornail?"
Before the invention Of electric
bells all front doors were euipped
with knockers consisting Of a hinged
handle or knocker which the visitor
struck against a metal knob to an
nounce his arrival. This knob was
known as the door nail, and it was
very ri%ghtfully supposed that moth
ing could be more dead than a knob
which was being continually banged
and hammered; hence when any
thing is dead, we say it is dead as
a doornail."
