SteeI'S 40 Per Cent Melon
Wasn't Grown on
Speculation.

When the greatest corporation on
earth declares a 40 per cent stock
dividend you "a hardly blame Wall
Street for getting excited.
A score of stocks are booming
thanks to the Steel melon, but the
boys are specializing where Judge
Gary wasn't. Judge Gary was deal
ing in water that had already got
by the mill, dividing part of a sur
plus that had become uncomfortably
large.
This is a very different thing from
betting on the future.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton came into existence twenty-five
years ago. 1t was formed u Of
twentt-seven principal companies
and $50 smaller ones.
1t has done a business OF more
than S23, 900, 600, 900 and made net
earning Of more than 100000 600.
Before the 40 per cent stock divi-
dend was declared it had a surplus
Of more than $500, 600 900.
The first sale OF its common stock
was at less than A. That's stock is
now selling a tmore than 100.
All OF which is a record OF what
has been done. not what may be.

Heroic German

It augurs well for the stability of
the German republic that a cabinet
has been put out of Office on charges
Of trying secretly to create an army
and a supply OF arms.
Philip Schneidemann. who present
ed the charges, deserves the thanks
not only of his own people but of
the world at large.
1t took courage for a mar to stand
up in the Reichstag and denounce
a government for doing something
which violates a treaty forced on
Germany by her enemies and which
every Germban militarist considers
legitimate Tor her to do.
They called him traitor when he
began, but after he had named
places, pointed out specific incidents
and accused individuals, they voted
right.
You can't get away from the idea
that there is a stern, uncompromis-
ing element of republicanism in
Germany. Nor is there much room
for doubt that President Hindenburg
will keep his oath to uphold the
Weimer constitution. He certainly
showed no hesitancy in accepting
the resignation of Marx and his sub
ordinates after the Reichstag had
voted lack of confidence in them.

THE FALL-DOHENY DECISION
A jury of their peers has found that Albert B.
Fall, former Secretary OF the Interior, and Edward
L. Doheny, multimillionaire oil operator, were not
guilty Of an attempt to defraud tL3 Government in
connection with the lease of the Elk Hills naval oil
reserve.
The twelve young men believed the sentimental
plea of the defense that Doheny was a kind
hearted old man who had loaned 100000 to his
old pal, Fall. They did not believe that the money
brought here in the little black bag was a bride.
They accepted Doheny's story that he acted from
patriotic motives to save the country when it was
menaced by a foreign power.
1t is perhaps not amiss to compare the decision
of the jury in this criminal proceeding with the
decision OF Federal Judge Paul J. Mccormick, Of
Los Angeles, in another cass. Judge Mccormick,

Votes and Justice

The doctrine Of State rights as a
defense for Smith. or OF any other
public official charged with corrup-
ton. is pure bunk.
state sovereignty cannot be offered
as an excuse for keeping crooks in
office, or for ignoring crooked prac-
tees.
Just because a man is elected.
does not make him an angel, or
pardon any wrong he may have com
mitted.
The Constitution makes each
house OF Congress the judge Of its
own members, just as the law pro
vides for the indictment and trial
Of a man, no matter what office he
may fill.
1t is preposterous to argue that
election puts a candidate beyond the
reach Of justice.
