Summoning Magill and the Rev.
Robert O'Brien, Presbyterian min
lister and Magill worker, as wit
nesses, Reed was determined to
learn whether the Independent
! planned to evade the Federal law.
which limits Senatorial campaign
funds to $4,000 in an election. 1t
was O'Brien who revealed the fund
and told of plans to spend it
through loopholes in the corrupt
practices act" the sworn testi-
mony OF F.. Scott Mcbride and
George B. Stafford, general and
State superintendents Of the Anti
Saloon League.
Rumors were circulated that
Magill would denounce the story
as ridiculous" and that O'Brien
would take the stand to deny ever
having had any such conversation
with the Anti-Saloon League leaders.
Reed meanwhile was prepared to
direct new inquiry into activities
of the association against the pro-
hibition amendment and other wet
organizations in the Illinois Sem
atorial campaign.

FUR ANIMALS DECREASE

Fur is an important commercial commodity and
more of it is consumed in the United States than
in any other country in the world, according to
Frank G. Ashbrook of the United States biological
survey. These facts lend weight to his statement
that the supply is diminishing and the demand in
creasing.
The logical way to supply the demand for furs
and prevent still further shrinkage in the source
of supply, Mr.. Ashbrook says, is to produce more
fur animals. This can be accomplished through
the enactment of better laws and through a strict
err enforcement of them.
Many trapping laws have been made without
consideration of the economic problems involved, /"
declares Mr.. Ashbrook, "and the majority of laws
on the statute books do little to prevent the de
crease of fur bearers in certain sections of oul
country. A keener appreciation of conditions, a.
shOwn by studies of the habits, breeding seasons
and periods of prime fur of the various species, OF
the part of those concerned with the framing O.
laws and regulations governing trapping, would
have the result that a greatly increased quantit.
of pelts with fur Of superior quality would reacI
the markets, thus increasing the financial reward
to the trapper and at the same time allowing in
creased numbers of breeding animals to remain.

A New Years
Prayer

Let me do my work each day; and if the
darkened hours of despair overcome me, may
not forget the strength that comforted
me in the desolation of other times. May L
still remember the bright hours that found
me walking over the silent hills of my child
hood, or dreaming on the margin of the quiet
river, when a light glowed within me, and 1
promised my early God to have courage amid
the tempests of the changing years. Spare
me from bitterness and from the sharp
passions of unguarded moments. May l not
forget that poverty and riches are OF the
spirit. Though the world know me not, may
nv thoughts and actions be such as shall
keep me friendly with myself. Lift my eyes
from the earth, and let me not forget the
uses of the stars. Forbid that 1 should
Judge others lest I condemn myself. Let
me not follow the clamor of the world, but
walk calmly in my path. Give me a few
friends who will love me for what I am; and
keep ever burning before my vagrant steps
the kindly light of hope. And though age
and infirmity overtake me, and I come not
within sight of the castle of my dreams,
teach me still to be thankful for life, and
for times olden memories that are good and
sweet; and may the evenings twilight find
me gentle still.

approaches to WonderlandS unrivalled scenery.
Idaho wants the Bechler Meadows for use as a
reservoir to store water for irrigation purposes.
Adopting as its slogan, Americans, Keep the
Looters Out!' The Outlook early last fall began
a vigorous fight against Idaho's scheme to de-
spoil one of Yellowstone's most valuable wild life
refugees, and is still on the firing line. It points
out that before Idaho was a state this land was
reserved for the people of the nation ); that no
state has any right to it; that no special interest
has any business there, and that a breaking into
the boundaries of Wonderland will endanger the
integrity of every national park and monument
in the country.
"When commercial thirst is slaked by seizure
of national property reserved by the people for
national purposes" says The Outlook, "the thirsty
everywhere who hope to get something out of
the American people for their own satisfaction
will be encouraged to make their demands"
We sincerely commend The Outlook for its
splendid battle against this barefaced attempt to
loot a playground that is the property of all of
the people. This effort to despoil Yellowstone
park is not the first, but thanks to such courage
Gus and forwardloOking publications as The Out
look and to wideawake congressman and citizens,
the integrity of Wonderland has so far been main
tanned. AS Horace Albright, superintendent of
Yellowstone, says: 1--WE cannot yield a part of
the park, if it is worthy of being in the park at
all, for any commercial need. If we do yield to
local interest on a thing like that, the parks are
bound to CO."
The effort of Idaho, at the behest of financial
interests, to grab the Bechler Meadows for com
mercial purposes is nothing more or less than an
outrageous attempt to steal from the American
people a property that by every moral and legal
right belongs to them, and we join The Outlook
in denouncing it as such.
When the matter comes up in congress we
expect that Montana's senators and representa-
tives will not hesitate to align themselves on the
peoples side and aid in defeating such a nefariou'
proposal. They should help keep the hooters out
of Yellowstone and every other park, and we be
lieve they will, for to do otherwise would be t.
betray the trust the people of Montana have re
posed in them.

being wOefully abused. There is ale
so a basis for doubt as to the sim
certify of. the senator. In the speech
in question he charged that one Jess
Smith, a friend and associate of At
tOrney General Daugherty, was MUIR
dered in Washington because Of a
fear that he might tell what he knew.
He also made the charge that $5,00O,-
600 was contributed by Mellon to the
Republican National campaign fund,
and that a criminal plan Of reim-
bursement was set up.
Crediting Senator Helm with a de-
sire to see that justice is done, he
surely must have known if he had
information Of this sort, so well
founded that he felt justified in
broadcasting from the floor Of the
senate, that for real action his state
ments and supporting affidavits
should have been filed also with the
law officers Of the nation. The SEN
atOr surely appreciates that genuine
indictments which result in criminal
prosecutions are prOcurable in jury
rooms and we have yet to find a
criminal indictment made effective by
a senate speech

The fact that a group Of college
professors of Columbia university
has solemnly declared and proclaimed
that the United States should at once
cancel European debts, will not have
any serious effect on the thoughts
and the lives of the people Of this
country.
Beginning with Barney Baruch, a
financial pillar of the Wilson admin
istrstion, the campaign to force IN
Gle Sam to make a free gift Of our
money, owed to US by European peO-
pies, has now been going on for sew
eral years, and the prOnunciamentO
of the college professors is therefore
really an incident. It can be said
once and for all that the president
and congress are firm in their belief
that the decision, if ever a decision
to forgive and forget is made, must
originate with congress and the presi-
dent. They have the facts. Any
shift in our position can result
from prOnunsiamentos, no matter
how learnedly written or i~mpressively
delivered.

the enactment Of constructive legis-
latiOn.
The time has now arrived when the
Republicans feel that at least they
can make a counter attack without
endangering legislation. Their plan
is to have a special committee APP
pointed which will begin to function
in December, 1927, the opening of the
Seventeen congress, to examine with
the right also to summons persons,
books and papers, just how elections
are run in the southern states. They
are ready for a full examination with
out fear or favor of the distribution
of southern offices under the Repub-
lican regime, but they also want in
formation as to what was the prac-
tice under the Democrats. They will
let the people Of the country judge
also whether senators and represen-
tatives elected from the southern
states and from districts in which
! elections are not even held, are en-.
titled legally to their seats. If the
Democrats want a shillelagh fight
the Republicans think they are alsc
entitled to employ a similar weapon

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The priv
ileges of the senate should be pre-
served. The right of members in the
senate, when the public good de-
mands it, to speak freely and without
fear of restraint, is a most sacred
right. But when, as recently, Sen
atOr Helm of Alabama used the SEN
ate floor and the immunity privileges
for the purpose of uttering in pub
lie, charges Of murder and robbery
against his fellow citizens, and in
such a way that they were denied
an opportunity of equal access to the
public attention, one cannot escape
the feeling that the sacred right is

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The opin-
ion here in Washington which it must
be admitted is often times one far
distant from the opinion generally
prevailing throughout the country, is
to the effect that if the farmers
would rid themselves of some of the
political advisors who have elected
themselves as directors of their agita-
ton that the work of stabilizing ag-
riculture as a basic industry would
be vastly improved. The Washington
opinion today is, for example, that
while the McNary-Haugen bill has
been introduced, many of those in
terested in Washington in pushing
that bill have already determined
that they do not want it to go through
at this short session Of congress.
They prefer to postpone it till the
session beginning December, 1927.
In short, in the minds of these
people, the passage of the McNary-
Haugen bill has become secondary to
the development of a political cam
paign to embarrass the president
There is no other way to construe it
Thus at the beginning an unhealthy
spirit is introduced. 1t is rather a re.
lief to read an editorial by Henry
Wallace in Wallace's Farmer, which
ignoring this underlying determine.
ton to use the farm business as Z
political rather than an agriculture
instrument, commends the presi
dents message to congress, and set
forth that while eastern correspond
ents have been endeavoring to asser
that the presidents words do no
mean what they say, he prefers t.
take the presidents statements a
their face value, and to give tn
president full credit for a generou
Interpretation Of his phrases. Nor

j. S. PROSPERITY
BASICALLY SOUND,
:. COOLIDGE'S VIEW

President Coolidge, without dis
cussing the future, has pronounced
America in a fundamentally sound
condition, according to Associated
Press dispatches from Washington,
D. c.
The president is well pleased with
the situation at the end of the old
year, although he is making no fore
casts.
Secretary Davis of the labor de-
partment has informed him that the
opportunities for employment seem to
be increasing, notably in the east.
The president feels that the
try is well supplied with capital, with
natural resources and with raw ma
t~erials. Manufacturing is going on
at more than the ordinary rate, he
understands, and transportation is
moving rapidly.
Mr. Coolidge feels no n can tell
when these conditions will change. It
was recalled at the White House that
before the present year began many
experts believed a depression likely,
but that, on the contrary, the year
proved one of the most prosperous in
history.
Mr.. Coolidge realizes that some
farm commodity prices are not so
high as a year ago, but he believes
that this is an offset in part for the
gains in the previous three years.

AMERICA, SAVE GOLD RONSIDES"!
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger

Secretary WiIbur's call to the nation to save
old Ironsides" from the naval junk heap should
have an immediate response. Less than half the
amount required to recondition the ancient war
ship and to preserve her in the form in which she
won her battles and shed immortal luster upon
American sea power has been subscribed by the
people to whom the original appeal was addressed.
Patriotic Americans in this instance ought to set
an example to their representatives in congress
who have failed to realize the historic Importance
of the ship or the educational value to the youth
of the nation of her preservation. What the con-
gress has refused or neglected to do, in making
this provision for the u. S. S. Constitution, the
people now have the opportunity to do directly by
their subscriptions.
