The colored lawyers residing in all
parts Of this city who have always
marched under the banner Of the
Grand Old Party are still up in arms
against Col. Robert S. Abbott. whom
they claim is simply an upstart in pol
itics and the present short-sighted coli
ored political powers that be. Many
Of them contend that as long as Col.
Abbott utterly failed to support Hon.
Robert E. Grove, at the primaries in
1924, in his race for denomination for
States Attorney Of Cook County, that
Col. Abbott has no moral right to ride
into political power on the backs Of
the colored Republican men and wom-
men who went all the way with the
Honorable States Attorney at the pri-
maries in April 1924 and at the No
vember election that same year.

INSTRUCT FARMERS
TO INCREASE PAY
U. S. Government viii Have Ex-
hibitS at Trenton Fair-lm-
proved Methods.

In space reserved for the United
States Department of Agriculture at
the Trenton Fair exhibits win be set
up to bring practical knowledge to
farmers for the Improvement of their
stock and an increase in their earn
ing power.
The Trenton Fair this year will be
held from September % to October
8, and the interesting displays to Wis
ualize proper and improper methods
in the operation of farms will be kept
throughout that period.
Among the topics to be covered will
be the following: Cooperative Mar
keting, Farm Woodlands. Horses for
Power, Marketing Woodland Products,
Milk for Health, Selecting Meats,
Neglecting Campfres, Value of Pas
teurization, What Cow Testing Re-
vealed, When Lightning Strikes, Con
tagious Abortion, Hog Cholera, Runts.
The Government agents declare that
hog raisers of the United States lose
$50, 100000 annually through hog chol-
era. Better sanitation and preventive
serum treatment, they assert, will
greatly reduce this loss. Sunlight
and clean surroundings are especially
recommended in combating the dis
ease.
For the cooperative marketing
charts are displayed as suggestion
on the method of forming an organi-
cation and the plan for distribution
of products. The use of horses as a
flexible source of power for farm use
is encouraged by the Department OF
Agriculture. The progress of forest
destruction from small abandoned
fire is pictured and the statement
made that the yearly damage from
fire is approximately $17,000,00e.
In the cow-testing exhibit the les
son is conveyed on the results of keep
ing a check on the amount of milk
and butterfat produced by the differ
ent cows of the herd. One dairyman
learned that each OF his cows aver
aged only GA cents yearly above feed
cost. but another nearby farm was
getting a profit of SIS from each cow.
BY culling out the low producers the
income was raised. Sections Of light
ming cables. air terminals and other
fittings ale to be put on view. To
demonstrate the value Of protecting
buildings from being struck an effec-
tive contrast is to be given IN the re-

LIQUOR RAIDS SHOW
] BANNERS STRENGTH

When the Banner. few months
ago came out with strong attack
upon our local Police administration,
much excitement prevailed in our
little town and the Police Committee
found it difficult task to defend
themselves against our criticism. No
real justification was offered or
could be offered for their torpid at
titude on law enforcement and their
failure to function as a Police adj
ministration. So they fell back to the
old and disreputable defense of in
dulging in personalities.
The whole fight was entirely ex-
planned by claiming that the critic
ism was without foundation and
that it was just the continuation of
a little family fight between the two
Stevenson brothers. All of the Ban
ner thrusts were termed PETTY
SHIPPING"
Considerable credence seems to
have been given to this story and so
the value of the Banners work was
considerably clouded by undeserved
sympathy for the Chief of Police.
Convinced of the real merit of its
claims of Police incompetence, the
Banner continued its attack on an
other angle and accomplished the
very tangible results of the big clean
up raid last week. This should prove
very embarrassing to our local Police
even though one of them took an
active part in the raid.
We wonder how many are still con-
WINGED that the whole affair is still
just petty family squabbIe.
What the Banner has accomplish
ed should have been done months a.
go by the Police Committee.
Their neglect of duty, if not Grim
inal was at least PITIFUL.
We quote from neighboring Press
which at one time received its 'stor-
les" from several Councilman and one
of our officers, who now sees his
chief falling from grace and is be-
ginning to cast wistful glances at
the calendar as the expiration of his
term draws near.
George S. Stevenson is happy. He
feels that since the successful raids
conducted by the State policemen in
cooperation with the local author
tiles last Wednesday night, he has
been vindicated. Stevenson has been
fighting to have the very places raid
ed that were raided last Wednesday
night.
Several of the Beverly councilmen
said that the fight that Stevenson
was carrying on against his brother,
Dillwyn Stevenson, Chief Of Police,
was merely family affair. They
gave little credence to Georges tale
of the wild happenings in the several
speakeasies in the town.
Since the successful termination of
the raids, the attitude of the men
of the town has changed. They now
recognize that George was Indirectly
the instigator of the raids and that
the credit for the cleanup of speak
easies goes to their own Beverly man
and not to the outside authorities

Mr.. PRESIDENT,
GET THE FACTS


of the gallant young lives shifted
out in the Shenandoah disaster, and
the sacrifice of the men on the
attempted flight to Hawaii.
If the loss was unavoidable, there
would be little to say. In the air, as
on the sea, blood is the price of adj
miralty. A new national defense is
not perfected, new realm of nature
is not conquered without risks and
disasters
Someone must gamble with death
for these gains; but--was the gam
bic fair one, or were the dice load
edi We're these brave men sacri-
feed needlessly? There is grave
reason to fear so.
Commander Lansdowne told his
wife before starting, that he did not
expect to come back alive. He re-
garded the trip to the middle west
at this season as incomparably more
dangerous than trip across the At
lantic or even to the North Pole. He
pleaded, according to witnesses who
cannot be disregarded, that the west
ern trip be postponed until October
when much of the danger from
storms would be over.
That plea was rejected, and the
Shenandoah was sent into the storm
belt of the middle west at the heigh-
tn of the storm season, apparently
as piece of political advertising.
On the face of the evidence avail
able at this time, the lives of
Lansdowne and his men have been
the price, NOT OF PROGRESS, BUT
OF POLITICS.
Moreover, Capt. Anton Heinen,
construction expert of the Shenan-
doah, says that the airship might
have ridden out the storm but for
changes designed to save the helium
gas with which it was inflated. There
were eighteen safety valves, lead
ing to the different gas compart-
ments in the dirigible and eight of
these valves were removed. Capt.
Heinen says that this was the direct
cause of the disaster. He brands it
as PLAIN MURDER" He may be
wrong; but his statement is worthy
of the sharpest inquiry.
AS for the planes, how did they
come to run out of fuel? Why had
they not been tested in long flights
along shore till the largest amount
Of fuel needed on such trip could
be known, not guessed at? Why
were not destroyers stationed near
enough to be sure of picking up
plane forced to come down on the
ocean?
: An inquiry, if conducted by the
department responsible for the dis
aster would not have satisfied the
American people. III the Navy mad
been set to investigate the Navy, the
people would have classed the report
as whitewash wether it was deserv-
ing of the report or not.
They do not forget that General
Mitchell has just publicly denounced
our present aviation policy as cost
ly in lives as well as poor in results,
and dared the War Department to
refute his facts or punish him for In
subordination.
President Coolidge has taken men
from civil and military life, men
whose verdict viii command perfect
confidence everywhere. He has rem
dered a great service to his country
in finding these men, and has set
them to the task of learning the
truth, the whole truth aud nothing
but the truth about our aeriel disast-
ers.
