"A SUGGESTION
Z The corn belt farmers want relief.

The corn belt farmers want relief.
The gst of their arguments that they sell their
products for low prices, and then turn around and
pay high prices for the things they need.
Right now their attacks are concentrated on the
tariff, which they claim favors the manufacturers at
their expense
Revision of the tariff, however, is only one of a
number of ways of getting farm relief. Another is
suggested by the resignation of Vernon. Van Fleet
of this State from the Federal trade commission.
Van Fleets resignation leaves the commission Of
five members equally divided-two on a side-be
tween liberal and conservative or feactionary mem
bers Commissioners Thompson and Nugent are lib
erals Commissioners Humphrey and Hunt are
pretty consistently found the other side of fence
arguing the holiness and sancty of existing in
dustrial and commercial arrangements. Van Fleet
has generally sided with Humphrey and Hunt.
The result has been that the Federal trade com
mission except for the generally ineffective protests
of the minority, has tended to- become little more
than rubber stamp.
The commission has broad powers in the field
of monopoly restraint of trade, and unfair compet
tive practices If majority of the commissioners
want to 1t do great deal toward keeping or
ganzed business and industrial interests from ex-
plotting unorganized farmers.
Whether it will want to, of course depends upon
the kind Of commissioners who are appointed. With
the resignation Of Van Fleet and the expiration of
Thompson term in September, the commission will
be made over in the next few months.
The lines along which it will be made over
by Coolidge appointments will make great deal of
difference to the distressed farmers. Perhaps they
wouldn't make mistake in devoting some of their
attention to the appointments to be made for this
potentially powerful commission

The citizens committee put it's finger on the
whole problem when it reayed the charge that the
scale of wages paid to street workers is low and
not enough to permit to live decently without

longer than the accepted limit for labor.
Either that charge is true or 1t is untrue. A
large number of efficient men who once operated cars
are stalking their present comfort and their jobs on
that fact. Others, many in number, seem to deny
it by remaining at work.
The people pay all the bills. They pay when the

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Little
Laura Ward married a penniless
young lawyer and found herself. a
few years later, the wife of cap
tain of finance, Senator and almost
legendary figure of the Southwest.
Lucky" John Harreld's story has
become part of yhe mythology Of
Oklahoma, during the twenty years
in which, by the practice of law and
by oil investments, he turned an
original capital Of $3.50 into a
fortune of several millions. For
seven of these twenty years, Sen
ator Harreld has held a seat in Con-
gress. He is chairman of the COM
mittee on. Indian affairs, and mem
Der of the judiciary, agricultural and
buildings and grounds committees.
Was "Town Grip
His romance with Laura Ward
dates from his Kentucky boyhood.
He was a farmers son, born near
the little village of Morgantown, in
which Laura spent her childhood.
He went away to school and re-
turned a teacher. Laura Ward had
grown up and now merited the
serious attention of the farm boy,
who had always regarded her as just
one of the town girls
Their renewed acquaintance led to
n
stricken young man just taking up
law and a girl whose only resources
were her faith in her husbands
ability and her plucky will to help
him.
Harreld entered a law firm and
climbed steadily. He served as
prosecuting attorney for four years.
He Goes West
In 1906 he determined to go West
and grow up with some new State"
He spent his evenings porting over
maps. The great pink space labeled
Indian Territory" lured his gaze
again and again. Here was a State
in embyro, not yet admitted to the
Union.
He packed his belongings and
boarded a train with his wife and
baby boy, Ward. He had not decided
whether to go to- Holdenville, Ard
more or Tulsa.
Stroke Of Fate
But a stroke of fate kept them in
Ardmore. The baby became i'll with
pneumonia there. and lay between
life and death for days. When Ms
recovery was accomplished, Mrs.

Harreld had made so many friends
that she did not wish to leave.
Harreld put up his law shingle in
a little office and began that spec
tacular career of which Oklahoma is
still talking. "
He held the offices Of county at
torney, master in chancery and ref
cree in bankruptcy. He made money
by his law practice in amounts that
were extraordinary in a small town.
Nearly every one dabbled in oil, but
he was fabulously successful. He
began to be known as Lucky John"
and to be looked to for political
achievement. He moved to Okla
homa City and vas elected to Con-
gsess in 1919, to fill the term of
Joseph B. Thompson, deceased. A
year later he came to the Senate.
A Romance
His part in the oil boom Is TO-
nance all by itself. He was one of
three men who leased a plot of land
for $25. They brought in a gusher
that laid the foundation for his pres
ent wealth.
With his wife and boy he visited
the well for the first time on
Thanksgiving day, 1914. He tells Of
standing under the scaffolding and
watching the drillers.

by the Bar Association, crime com
Mission and other national bodies
fully expose the fact that those who
are arrested and glilty, in great pro-
portion, escape somewhere in the
tangle tof our administration of law,
and that large part never serve
adequately when convicted. That is
not the fault of the police. 1t is
rather their Encouragement.
when we have the sense to
strengthen and reorganize our court
procedure he says, when we trans.
fer our maudlin sympathy for bad
men to real sympathy for people who
are injured by crimes against them,
then and then only, can the police
of our country become effective in
public protection"
Hoover was speaking to the police
chiefs of the United States and
Canada, and sorae Allowance Is to
be made for the natural desire to
please his audience.
At the same time he put his finger
on an obvious fault in our attitude
toward the criminal.
I visited a murderer once, a man
convicted Of a beastly, inexcusable
crime, 2or which he was afterward
electrocuted. and found a lady CIV

Broken France

Fifty to the dollar and still falling,
which means that the franc is now
worth about one-tenth Of what it
ought to be and that, it is pretty
sure to be worth still less.
Washington stands firm on the
debt pact, protesting an astonishing
degree of optimism, but admitting
that there is likely to be a change of
ministry in France every fortnight
and that each change will add to
the decentralization.
Herriot is reported to have hit on
a plan for rehabilitating France
without foreign loans.
Financial experts say this is i'm
possible.
Washington, taking its cue from
their opinions and knowing that
France can, get no loans without
ratifying the debt pact, still looks
for her to get in line.
The idea that France can go broke
has just occurred to Washington
apparently, but she can.

A Timely Declaration
Rudolph Valentino is mad.

Rudolph Valentino is mad.
He regrets thet dueling is not al
lowed in this country, but since it is
not, he wants to box, or wrestle
somebody.
1t is all because of an editorial in
the Chicago Tribune, which accused
Rudolph Of being responsible for the
popularity of powder puffs among
young males Of this generation.
Rudolph says that his challenge to
box or wrestle the writer is not a
publicity stunt. which comes as
timely declaration, because, under
ordinary circumstances, that would
