Politics and Justice Have
Roles in HaII-MiIlS
Case.
BY VI. e. Tracy

The motion for new trial having
been denied, the Hall-Mills case
drags on to a conclusion.
1t is generally believed that an
acquittal is inevitable. This was
undoubtedly one of the reasons that
led the State to ask for mistrtal.
Politics as well as justice has
come to play a part in this famous
case.
A Democratic Governor has staked
much on the possibility of it's So
luton. A Democratic prosecutor,
whom he appointed for the purpose
had staked more.
1t is freely admitted that if
Senator Simpson were to win a con-
viction. he would be in line for high
favors at the hands of the Demo
cratic party.
Assuming this, and being more or
less loyal to the rich and prominent
SteEsas family. people OF SOmerville
have regarded Simpson as a political
interloper rather than a public
prosecutor.
1t is a regrettable aspect Of our
system OF justice that political
careers can be founded in the court
room. that the question Of what they
gain by way of public applause often
has greeted influence with lawyers,
whether for the prosecution or the
defense, than the question OF what
is right.

That Treasury Surplus

Our treasury surplus As inspiring
both parties to go up a blind alley.
The refund that President Cool
idge would like to make and the re-
bate proposed by Secretary Mellon
have both fizzled.
The farmers want nothing that
does not hold out some hope of re-
lief and control enough votes to
spoil any Republican plan.
One would suppose that the Demo-
Gratis could figure out some scheme
to gain the good will of the farmer,
but the best idea they have offered
thus far Is to make a gesture of
sympathy to the corporation which
no one is foolish enough to take
seriously.
The thought of the Democratic
party coming to the rescue of big
business after all that Coolidge has
done for it would be too absurd to
discuss If it amounted to anything
but pure political holum.

KELLOGG'S IMPROPAGANDA

Here's closeup on a >bit of international
diplomacy under Secretary of State Kelogg-the in
side story of a story which may have a Senate in
vestigation it's sequel.
Some days ago. to begin at the beginning, this
newspaper commented at some length on an Asso-

said much, adding that if Secretary Kellogg is in

State Department is limiting at he should produce
them-not seek to.inspire newspaper articles giving

Here is the inside story of what happened, as
revealed by the St Louis Post-Dispatch
"a week ago last Tuesday the Washington bu-
reaus of the three national press associations the
United Press, Associated Press and the Interna-

When to Take Out Withs

This hand is the dead1ine minimum
with which a Major take-out should
be made, and is weaker than the
| standard set by some Of our most
conservative players. IF the Spades
were King Queen-10-x.x, the take
out would be much safer; but even
with the hand as given. Dummy, in

With this hand two Spades should

WE HOPE THIS ENDS 1T WE DO,

Secretary Of State Kellogg now makes one more
final stab at settling the fortyoddyear-old quarrel
between Chile and Peru over Tacna and africa
He suggests the disputed territory be ceded to
Bolivia, which country would pay price, the money
to go to the two claimants. And the city of africa
by appropriate agreement among the three powers,
would be made forever a free port
If this doesn't furnish basis of agreement be-
tween Chile and Peru then nothing can short of
letting them fight it out Every other possible sug.
gestion has already been made.
By this arrangement only would the two
principals save their faces but Bolivia would get
her long sought outlet to the Pacific and alBovia
railway to La Paz.
Come on, Chile! Come on, Perui Let's end
this quarrel.
