ing of July a, 1924, the defendant

of fireworks the day before, and &C
cording to testimony of plaintiff the
defendant finally said in the pres
ence of several persons: He is max
ing his living selling booze, and
added. What money he has made IN
this town he made it selling booze"
Several witnesses corroborated, IN
some degree the statement or plain
tiff in regards to the words used.
The defendant took the stand and
stated his version of the words USED.
He stated that he was mule SPIN
ner. and at times worked IN ms
brother's store; that on the morning
in question when he got TO the or
tin store there were several there.
He denied that he made the remarks
ahout or to Forth as claimed by
Fortin. Afr some talk about selling
fireworks, he stated that Forth SAID:
"J have got you anyway, can prove
vol, are fighting game cocks. he
said he replied: "That is all right,
nrobably I can get you for selling
nm" Later he changed his remark
fo.If Won can prove l am lighting
game cocks, / can probably prove

to the economic requirements OF CIV
iliZation. 1t Is an effort by which men
provide for the material needs OF
each other. While 1t IS not an end
in itself it is the important means
for the attainment OF q supreme end.
1t rests squarely on the law of service.
1t has for its main reliance truth and
faith and justice. In It's larger sense
1t Is one of the greatest contributing
forcecs to the moral and spiritual ad-
vancement of the race.
Interest in Business.
1t Is the important and righteous
position that business holds in relation
to life which gives warrant to the
great interest which the National
Government constantly exercises for
the promotion OF its success. This
Is not exercised as has been the auto
cratic practice abroad of directly sup
porting and financing different busi-
ness projects, except in case Of great
emergency, but We have rather held
to democratic policy of cherishing
the general structure OF business while
holding its avenues open to the widest
competition. in order that it's oppor-
tunities and its benefits might be
given the hroadest possible participa-
ton. While II Is true that the Govern
mittedto certain methods of acquisition
which. while partaking of the nature
Of unfair practices, try to masquerade
under the guise Of business. the Gov.
ernment is and ought to be thoroughly
committed to every endeavor of pro-
duction and distribution which is en-
titled to be designated as true busi-
ness Those who are so engaged. in
stead Of regarding the Government as
their opponent and enemy, ought to
regard it as their viEilant supporter
and friend.
1t Is only in exceptional instances
that this means a change on the part
Of the national administration so much
as 1t means change on the part of
trade. Except for the requirements
of safety. health and taxation, the law
enters very little into the work of pro
duction. 1t Is mostly when we come
to the problems of distribution that
we meet the more rigid exactions of
legislation. The main reason why
certain practices in this direction have
been denounced Is because they are
species Of unfair competition on
and restraint of trade on the other
The whole policy of the Government
in It's system OF opposition to monopoly
and its public regulation of trans
portation and trade has been ami
mated by a desire to have business
remain business. We are politically
free people and must be an economi-
"al'r free peoDle.

phasis on the desirability of the larg-
est possible independence between
government and business. Each
ought to be sovereign in it's own
sphere. When government comes
unduly under the influence of busi-
ness the tendency is to develop an
administration which closes the door
of opportunity; becomes narrow and
selfish in its outlook and results In
an oligarChy. When government en-
ters the field of business with its
great resources. it has Il tendency to
extravaganza and inefficiency, but,
having the power to crush all COM
petitors, likewise closes the door Of
opportunity and results in monopoly.
1t is always a problem in republic
to maintain on the one side that eff
cheney which comes only from trained
and skillfu management without
running into fossiliZation and au-
tocracy, and to maintain on the other
that equality of opportunity which Is
the result of political and economic
liberty without running into diSSolu-
ton and anarchy. The general re-
suits in our country, our freedom and
prosperity, warrant the assertion that
our system of institutions has been
advancing in the right direction in
the attempt to solve these problems.
We have order. opportunity, wealth
and progress.
Privileges Discredited.
While there has been in the past
and will be In the future a consider
able effort in this country of different
business interests to attempt to run
the Government in such a way as to
set up system of privilege. and
while there have been and will be
those who are constantly seeking to
commit the Government to a policy
of Infringing upon the domain of pri-
vate business. both of these efforts
have been very largely discredited,
and with reasonable vigilance on the
part OF the people to preserve their
freedom do not now appear to be
dangerous.
When l have been referring to busi:
ness | have used the word in its all
inclusive sense to denote alike the
employer and employe, the produc.
ton of agriculture and industry, the
distribution of transportation and
commerce and the service Of finance
and banking. 1t is the work of the
world. In modern life, with all it's
intricacies. business has come to hold
very dominant position in the
thoughts of all enlightened peoples.
Rightly understood this is not a
criticism. but a compliment. In its
great economic organization il does
not represent, as some have hastily
concluded, a mere desire to minister
to SelfishneSS. The New York Cham.
ber of Commerce is not made up of
men merely animated with purpose
to get the better of each other 1t
is something far more important than
sordid desire for gain. 1t could not
successfully succeed on that basis
1t is dominated by a more worthy
impulse: it rests on a higher law
True business represents the mutual
organized eff nf society to minister

1t Is my belief that the whole ma
terial development of our country has
been enormously stimulated by rea-
son Of the general insistence on the
part of the public authorities that
economic effort ought not to partake
OF privilege. and that business should
be unhampered and free. This could
never have been done under a system
of freight rate determinations or mo-
nopolistic trade associations. These
might have enriched few for limit
ed period. but they never would have en-
riched the country, while on the firmer
foundation of justice we have achieved
even more ample individual fortunes
and a perfectly unprecedented era OF
general prosperity. This has resulted in
no small part from the general accept
ance on the part of those who own
and control the wealth of the Nation,
that 1t Is to be used not to opnress
but to serve. 1t Is that policy, some
times perhaps imDerfectlv expressed

JURY TAMPERING
INQUIRY OPENS
In GERM CASE
Attorney Goes Into Question
of Influence on Venire-
men.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, May ga general in
vestigation to determine whether
there have been any efforts to in
fluence the jury In the Shepherd
germ murder" case was started to-
DAY by States Attorney Robert E.
Grove.
Grove summoned all persons
called for jury service.
Il am going to question every ven
ire man and settle once and for all
these rumors that persons interested
in TIE defense have tried to influ-
ence the jury" Grove said.
Selection Of the jury dragged
slowly today. The State has tenta-
lively accepted four more jurors to-
day which may be offered the de-
Tense at the afternoon session.
Philadelphia police today were
asked to hunt for Robert A. White,
missing witness in the Shepherd
trial States Attorney Grove
was given a leIleI lIOIu Hlid-
delphia signed by DIR. Robert
White" in which the writer claims
he is the missing witness. The let
ter was received by local news
\ paper. t.
The writer denied he was given
$4,000 to get out of town by per-
sons interested in the defense. He
said he would return If given proper
protection. Nervous prostration,
caused by worry and excitement,
caused him to disappear, the writer
said.
James C. Callan, local politician,
will be brought before Judge Thomas
J. Lynch on a charge of contempt
of court for his alleged efforts to
tamper with the Shepherd jury,
Grove announced. Callan is alleged
to have approached a prospective
Juror in oehalf of the defense.
Selection of the jury continued to-
day. Four jurors already are sworn,
and three others are in the box, tenn
porarily acceptable to the State.

Temperature there, which had hov
cred around ga Saturday, sank t.
81 accompanied by snow flurries.
One of the heaviest losses was re
ported at Seymour. Six hundred
acres Of watermelons and 400 acres
of canteloupes were reported

were black and truck gardens were
hopelessly blighted. Ice formed or

Early Planting Fatal
Farmers around ,Eeymour, one OF
the greatest markets in the State
for melons and tomatoes, had plant
ed unusually early this spring due
to warm weather in April. Heavy
rush was reported on all seed stores
with calls made to Indianapolis and
Cincinnati.
This ice was reported at Mobiles

age, it Is feared, was done to corr
and wheat
Warsaw reported all of north cen

mantle of frost. Thousands of dol
lars damage was done to tomatoes

Fruit, and even hardy apples were
damaged.

ported snowfall.
State Entomologist Frank Wallace
said that the greatest damage OF
the frost was probably to garden
crops, but that corn also might
have been injured in low spots. The
frost seemed to have been "spotty'
he said. Wallace has not yet re
ceived reports from over the State
According to Miner Justin. Fed
