noyed by the wide and not alto

fish story, anG he is likely to with
hold news of results Of future fish
ing.
At the first press conference in
the Adirondacks the Presidents ir'
ritation was most apparent. An
swers to questions concerning the
fish were blunt and sarcastic.
Il cannot see the Importance of
such an incident" the spokesman
said sharply. The spokesman went
on to say, in reply to those skep'
teal about the weight of the fish,
that in the Presidents opinion 1t
was good taste to believe the other
mans fish stories.
Still smarting under the embar.
rassment of an about face" In their
statements, the attaches were further
d~umbfounded to learn that accord
ing to old guides, a f~ifteen-inch pick
erel could not weigh than a
pound and a quarter. They then
announced that the fish was not a
pickerel, but a pike. which could
weigh three pounds and be only
fifteen inches in length.
"It certainly is a pretty come-of."
of them remarked. that the
Presidents staff has to fuss around,
issuing statements and denials about
a one.foot fish"

URGES RESPECT
Detectives Laughing Stock,
Declares Davis.

A plea that the local courts 'show
greater respect" for Horse Thief De-
tective Association members, who,
if given a chance will help eliminate
the crime situation in Marion
County, was made today by Grin E.
Davis, association president. Davis
was defeated in the primary for the
Republican nomination for sheriff.
Davis said that his men who take
law violators in court are ridiculed
and told they have no right to make
an arrest or to carry concealed
weapons.
Because, they have been made the
laughing stock of the courts, mem
bers Of the organization don't feel
like enforcing the law in the future
as they have in the past" said
Davis.
Davis pointed out that A. G. Fad.
whose auto Gene Alger, slayer of
Trafficman John Buchanan, Negro,
is alleged to have attempted to steal,
is a member. Fad took the gunman

PUBLISHER WILL
CARRY APPEAL TO
HIGHEST COURT
Muncie Man to AIlege In
diana Tribunal Erred in
Denying Revision.

Attorneys for George. r. Dale,
publisher of the Muncie IInd.) Post
Democrat, who faces a six-months
sentence at the Indiana State Farm
for contempt of court, will carry an
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court, it was learned today.
On the ground of free speech,
Dale's appeal to the nations highest
tribunal will allege that the Indiana
Supreme Court erred when it recent
ly denied his petition to revise his
assignment Of error against the
Delaware Circuit Court, which pre-
nounced the sentence.
Appeal Denied
In his original appeal Dale
neglected to include the doctrine of
free speech in his bill Of exceptions.
This question not being raised, the
Indiana Supreme Court was unable
to consider that phase Of the appeal.
For other reasons the appeal was
denied.
Dale then asked a rehearing and
it, also, was denied. He finally
asked the court to delay its order
of commitment to the Delaware
court and permit him to amend the
assignment of errors so the ques-
ton of constitutional privilege could
be raised. The courts denial of this
petition paved the way for an ap-
peal to the United States Supreme
Court.
Assailed Khan
/. Two years ago, when the Ku-Klux
Khan was in its hey-day in Indiana.
Dale was drawn into his first brush
with the hooded order. Responding
through the medium of his periodi-
cal, Dale not only assailed the Khan
but generously criticised the Della
ware County grand jury and the cir
cult judge, Clarence w. Dearth. He
was cited for direct contempt of
court and fined $500 and costs, to
which was added a six-month SEN
tence at the penal farm. Dale, as
author of his legal answer to the
Indictment, repeated many of the
vitriolic statements he had published
about the court and grand jury and
forthwith was cited for indirect con
tempt, receiving a similar penalty
for the second offense. Indiana Su-
preme Court a short time ago re-
versed the indirect contempt find
ing but sustained the charge of di-
rect contempt.

TO THE VOTERS OF 46TH
LEGISLATURE DISTRICT

Because it is impossible for me
to get around to see the voters of this
District l am taking this means OF
addressing, to inform you of my
candidacy for State Senator of the
46th, Legislative District.
l was the first to file for the posi-.
ton, and in doing so, l had defn,
ate program in mind.
This is an agricultural District
and he can best serve the district
who will bear in mind, and watch
carefully measures for the benefit OF
agriculture.
My program also covers "Econ.
omy" in governmental affairs. While
all politicians are pledged for "Econ,
omy," either through not knowing, OF
disregard for their pledge, they have
made dismal failures as actual savers
of the Tax Payers funds.
This great State of Minnesota col
lects millions of dollars annually, il
Iron ore Tax, Gross Earnings Tax
insurance Taxes, and many smaller
sources of revenue. All of which
money belongs to the tax payers oil
the state, and not to the State itself
There is sufficient money collect
ed in such revenue to not only run
the States Government, but there
should be al large amount left ove1
for distribution among the smaller
units and divisions of the state. In
stead, the economy program here
tofore has made it necessary to lev!
further tax, ON YOU to maintain
the State Government.
While l do not expect to revolu
tionize the State government af
fairs, in the State Senate, my exper
fence as Assistant Public Examiner
during period of eight years, ha:
given me such an insight into state
county, and municipal financial mat
tiers, and has also afforded me such
an opportunity of knowing the
sources of State Revenues, and the
purposes of the expenditures, as will
ligently.
don't want to appear boastful
but wish to inform you of my famil-
iarity with the states business, in
order to convince you that with an
honest effort toward ECONOMY"
am particularly qualified through for
mer connections with the State, to
accomplish MORE than one who has
not had such experience.
A change in our banking laws, also
seems to me necessary issue.
Also the repeal of laws obsolete or
obnoxious to the people.
If nominated and elected l pledge
my support of any measures that will
bring the desired result.
Thanking you for your support and
good word, I remain.
Yours respectfully,
X. A. Honer.-Adv

American Legion Plants
Twelve Miles of Trees
Last Year Minnesota Posts Planted
$4,000 Young Saplings In Honor
to Dead Comrades

How many trees will the Legion
aires of Minnesota plant this year
Last year according to P. o. Ander-
son, state sylviculturist, they erected
$4,000 living monuments to their dead
comrades. Up to April 5, 1926, they
had ordered enough young trees to
plant a memorial highway twelve
miles long; and every mail was bring
ing more requests from posts all over
Minnesota.
Trees of the fragrant forest,
With leaves of green unfurled,
Through summers heat, through win
ter's cold,
What do you do for the world?
In Minnesota, our Governor has
set aside April 23 as Arbor Day. The
week of April 1924 is National For
est Week. Are you wondering what
you can get trees for planting; how
you may arrange ceremony? Your
State Forester will ship any Legion
post or Auxiliary unit young elm, ash
and soft maple. Just assure him you
will pay transportation and plant
them properly.
So listen! From the forest
Each tree a message sends
To children on this Arbor Day:
"We trees are your best friends. u
Perhaps this information has
caught you unawares. 1t is not too
late. You may not be able to plant
on Arbor Day. But every warm
spring day in Minnesota is as arbor
day. By ordering promptly, planting
quickly, you will be helping Minneso-
ia, your community, the nation.
With strong and graceful outline,
With branches green and bare,
We fill the land through all the year
With beauty everywhere.
