Moonlight
By Hal Cochran

Good evening, Mister Moon Man!
Why the smile upon your face?
You're always rather cheerful, and
Of frowns there's not a trace. It's
fun to sit and watch you when you're
peekin' through at night. I'll bet
you smile at lovers who are spoon.
ing. Am I right?
We all have had our sweethearts.
and we all have shared our love. I
wonder. do we realize that you, from
up above. have helped to make the
setting for the evening lovers act.
I'll bet you're glad to furnish light.
Now, isn't that a fact7
A place out III the open, and
bench down by a stream. What
better spot could people wish. to
idly sit and dream? A little touch
of shadow. with the moonlight
shinin' through. A lover and his
sweetheart offer up their thanks to
you.
No wonder, Mister Moon Man,
that you're cheerful all the while.
You've really lots OF reason why you
comce right out and smile. You
throw your mystic rays out wide,
and here and there you've found.
for lovers you are spreading lots of
happiness around.

ID lULLETS are zinging again in Honduras.
- A defeated candidate for the presidency,
Gen. Gregorio Ferrera, it seems, has started
another revolution to keep his name before the
constituency
Besides it has been quite some time since
Honduras-was treated to frst-class revolu-
ton. In fact, not since General Ferrera him
self headed the last one way back in August
The new president, Paz Barahona, leader
Of the Nation, or Conservative party, was
inaugurated Feb. l. Behind him is the moral
and material support of the United States
Three weeks after his Inauguration, the State
Department in Washington approved his re-
quest to purchase 1900 military rifles, 20OO.-
600 rounds of ammunition and twenty Emma
Gees, Otherwise\knOwn as machine guns.
These ought to help make it interesting for
General Ferrera. At the same time 165 Ameri-
can officers and sailors from the United States
warship Denver have landed at Ceiba to pro-
tect foreign lives and property and keep the
score.
1t. is fairly safe to assume, we might add.
that whichever way the fighting goes. our ma
tiOnal fruit interests will not be seriously men
aced. No revolutionist in that part of the
world has much of a chance unless he makes.

Politics i'm the Income
Tax Cases

TT1 HE Department Of Justice seems to be
on trial before the Supreme Court in the
ncome-tax publicity cases about as much as
the law itself which is presented for clearing
up.
First, we have the fact that the depart
ment refused to interpret the law and pro-
fessed that it could not interpret it. This left
each Collector Of Internal Revenue to interpret
for himself Then the department switched
around and became an interpreter by starting
prosecutions against newspapers which had
been given access to the files of collectors and
had published names of taxpayers, with
the amounts paid. And now comes the Solicitor
General with an admission that, after all, the
department does not care a straw which way
the case is decided, while questions from the
bench in the course of his argument indicate
that some Of the justices at least can see in the
law clear meaning that, while general prohi-
bition on publication of income tax returns
continues, exception has been made of amounts
of tax paid and persons paying.
In other words, it is intimated that the
Department of Justice had no legal excuse for
its failure to interpret, and no excuse accord
ingly for bringing these cases before the court.
1t has been dodging its duty. It has been bend
ing to politics. 1t has been giving an ex-
hibition Of plain political cowardice.-New
York World.

flee the United States in order to escape testi-
flying at the Cheyenne trial. They also caused
a prominent Canadian lawyer and erstwhile
corporation president to take up big game
hunting in Africa.
Though we have no desire to debate with
Sinclair on what the Federal judge at Chey-
enne will or will not do we can not refrain
from protesting against his boastful assertions
about the cold scrutiny of the court"
No court in this broad land has yet had
an opportunity to learn the whole facts about
the oil scandal. The most important witnesses
left the country on the eve of the Cheyenne
trial. The District Of Columbia courts have
never heard testimony in the criminal cases be-
cause of Sinclairs success in keeping out of
court on technical points.
If Sinclair really thinks his case would
stand so we'll in the courts, why does he make
such strenuous efforts to keep the facts from
reaching jury of his peers!

However. it is not unusual for
unmerciful beatings and similar
refinements to be employed by
hard-boiled officers to make pris-
oners talk.
OF course. a confession, how
ever obtained. simplifles matters.
1t saves work for the officers,
time for the courts and money for
the taxpayers.
But if those are the only consid-
erations, why stop with ordinary
third degree methods to extort
confessions?
Just beating and kicking him
won't always loosen the tongue Of
a stubborn prisoner. Sometimes
It merely loosens his teeth. Slow
" roasting the soles of his feet
over a fire. or pluchng out his
flngernails one at time is more
effective. Yet several generations
ago society discarded that sort OF
torture.
Some sheriffs and police still
use third degree methods that are
no more humane. From the stand
point of humanity, decency and
justice they are unsavory per
formances, and should be sup
pressed.
