ONE OF THESE IS IMPORTANT

Four criminal trials engaging national at
tention at this time.
1. The Hal-Mills case.
2. The Aimee Mcpherson case.
5. The DR.. ]. Frank Norris case.
4. The Canton (Ohio) case.
All of these cases are immensely interesting One
of them-and perhaps only one-is greatly important
BY this is meant that out of only of these cases
is the country likely to obtain any benefit and that
is the which, strangely enough the public
is likely to find the least absorbing-the murder of
Don r. Mellett at Canton
The other three cases involve purely personal
crimes. The Hall-Mills case repeats a story old
the human race. The Norris and Mcpherson
contain bizarre mixture of religion and al
legged wrong doing putting them little out of the
ordinary. Many centuries of civilization will
be required to Danish from the human breast emo
lions that lead to cases like these three.
The Canton (OhioJ case is different. There is
complete education in civic affairs to be found in
that case if the public is willing to look for it. BE
fore the story all told essential facts CITY, State
and national Government will have been placed on
record
The one greatest issue before tbs American Eco
pie today actually is on trial at Canton If the evil
dence already made public offers a real Indication
That issue is prohibition. Don Mellett, it appears,
was victim of the chief benefciaries of prohibition
the booteggers He fighting neither for nor
against prohibition. He scarcely fighting boot.
Logging itself He fighting, attempting to break
down, the connection between the bootlesgers and
the local government For that he was killed
Before this case concludes those who follow the
evidence should have clearer insight has been
possible heretofore into what prohibition for
America This evidence should be read and studied.
Most especially it should be read by those sincere
patriotic citizens who helped to bring prohibition to
pass in the belief that they serving the coun-
try's best interests
It will not be as easy reading some other
murder trials. 1t contains appeal. no tale of
human lusts This murder was a civic event. 1t was
as cooy conceived and carried out as a campaign
for county office scheme to carry competitors
business, or plan to build street railway.
Given conditions that have followed prohibition
in many communities of the United States and
murder such occurred in Canton becomes not
only probable, but almost inevitable. If you follow
the evidence in this you will see why this is So

DEMOCRATS WILL
FIGHT COOLIDGE
TAX SLASH PLAN
Instead viii Seek Reduction
More Than Twice as
Great.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Presi-
dent Colleges proposal for 10 to IL
per cent retroactive reduction on in
come taxes encountered today oppo-
sition of Democrats who will seek a
reduction more than twice as great.
Senator Claude Swanson Dem),
Virginia, declared the steadily ac-
cumulating treasury surplus war
rants an immediate revision of the
tax system so that in the future the
Government will collect no, more
than it needs, and that the present
surplus warrants a 25 per cent re-
duction from top to bottom.
1.-THE reduction suggested by Cool
idge is not on half what it should
be" Swanson said. 1--WE know what
our debts are, we know what our
expenses are. and it is time that
we revise the tax system so that
the Government collects only What
1t needs for its obligations.
1.-THE President has apparently
been awakened by the election to the
fact that the people will not counte-
nance tampering with the Govern
ment's revenues for political effect.
Coolidge, through his spokesman.
indicated he would recommend tax
reduction in a message to Congress
when it reconvenes Dec. s. The plan
would affect only income and corpo-
ration taXes-not the miscellaneous
and so-called nuisance taxes.

Boston College Riot Log
icaI Result of Lax
Discipline,
BY Nj. e. Tracy

You can't teach young people to
be decent, responsible and well be
haved by merely pumping so much
knowledge into them.
That is about all the student riot
in Boston suggests.
Old fogies may denounce it as dis
graceful and flaming youths may
regard it as a good lark. but It is
only the logical result Of herding on
the hand and lax discipline on the
other.
Our colleges cannot grow big and
free from restraint at the same
time. We not only defy common
sense, but ignore what we are doing
in other lines to suppose they can.
Mass activities whether in the fac
tory, on the battlefield or at the uni.
versity, call for increased system
and order.
Henry Ford permits no such free
com amongst his workmen as does
the boss of a small crew and he
couldn't produce automobiles so
cheaply or efficiently If he did.

HORATIUS KELLOGG AT THE
RRTDGE

1.-THE Russian minister to Mexico, Nine.
Alexandra Kollanta the only woman diplomatic chief
in the world, has been denied permission to cross
the United States on her way to her post in Mexico
City" says the United Press.
Once Secretary of State Kellogg has flung
his official body athwar the gateway and saved
country from some terrible fate we know exactly
what!
First, he gagged Count Karolyi to keep him from
uttering strange combination Of words which,
like the buge blasts of Jericho might have laid
civilization to waste
Next like Horatius at the bridge he barred the
way to the oncoming Countess Karoly, lest her
brazenly admitted belief in republican institutions
should undermine 15Oyearold democracy in
which-as Pennsylvania so beautifully demonstrated
the other day-one vote is good another,
matter how much it costs.
Then that mighty civilization crusher, the skinny
little Shapurj Saklatvaa, British member of Para-
ment, was held at bay and prevented from planting
his red flag of communism on top Of the White
House.
And, now, sleepless sentinel, worn but ever
vigant, hearing the rustic of a hostile skirt all the
way from Berlin, where Nine. Kollantai awaits the
American visa which will never come is saving us
again! Was there ever before such devotion?
\ Mime. Koantai" says an official communique
issued by the State Department at Washington "has
been actively associated with the international COM
munist subversive movement" And she can't
cross the United States Our Government and
society must not be endangered
OF course Nine. Kollantai has been in Norway
for the past two or three years, where she repre-
scented her country minister plenpotentiary. And
neither Norwegian society nor the Norwegian gov
eminent appears any the for the experience.
BUT then there are 100000 Norwegians and only
l15000,000 of
Another explanation of the ban the madame
uay be that the State Department has already let in
so many Russian communist tradesmen to do bust

DEAR MIR. FIXIT: We wrote you

and White River, but have failed to
hear from you or notice anything in
The Times.
J. f. WHITAKER.
That bridge has suffered un-
usual experiences recently. A few
days ago it cast it's south pier into
the river, but city officials promise
they will begin repairs soon.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: l call your
attention to the fact that the powers
that be have spent a great deal of
the taxpayers money building a. new
bridge over Fall Creek at Senate Ave.
For some reason or other the ap-
proach from the south has never
been improved. At present this
stretch of about a block is in very
bad condition and no doubt will con-
tinue to get worse.
ONE WHO TRAVELS THIS WAY.
Right you are, but the streets
department officials contend it is
better to wait until the approach
settled before improving it. They
promise action as soon as that
occurs.
