Peace and Good Will

Once more that greatest of Americans has
demonstrated that it is very easy to obtain
good will and understanding between peoples
of different nationalities and different races.
When Lindbergh, the idol Of this Nation,
scared into the capital of Mexico, he did more
20 destroy the antagonism that has grown be-
tween these two republics in the past twenty
years than have all the diplomats and all the
conferences between officials.
That the nation waited in anxiety for news
Of the outcome of his flight, waited eagerly
for some word that he was safe was but an
other evidence Of the place he holds in the
Vaccinations and the hearts Of the people Of
this country.
No other American would have aroused the
same feeling of personal interest as did he.
Nor would the coming of any other citizen
Of the United States have aroused so spon-
taneous and so real sentiment of warm well
come which was extended to him.
1t is because Lindbergh represents the
best not only of this country but of civilization
In his modest unselfishness his utter lack of
vanity and greed, that he won the heart OF
the world.
The people of Mexico from peon to presi-
dent knew that he came to take nothing away
but to bring something into their lives.
In much more than the most daring OF
pioneers in the new age of air does Lindbergh
represent the spirit which is so soon to come,
spirit Of good will and peace and not OF blcker-
ING greed and national animosities.
For centuries nations have looked for points
of difference rather than for the chance for
agreement.
For centuries the fates Of peoples, their
wars and their competitions, have been left to
those whose training came from the school OF
suspicion
1t is easy for the people of Mexico or OF
France to understand a Lindbergh, where
they might not understand frocked diplomat.
He is easy to understand because he takes
with him the same emotions, desires and prln-
ciples which animate the vast majority OF not
only Americans but the plain citizens OF every
country who have had so little to say In the
mast when they would fight their wars.
The people Of this country understand
Tindbergh because he is of them IN heart and
purpose and aims.
The people of other nations welcome HIM
because they see in him the things which are IN
their own hearts and mind.

Old Masters

The elm let's fall its leaves before
the frost,
The very oak grows shivering
and sere,
The trees are barren when the
summers lost;
But one tree keeps its goodness
all the year.
Green pine, unchanging as the
days go by,
Thou art thyself beneath what
ever sky;
My shelter from all Winds, my own
strong pine,
IT'S spring, It's summer, still,
while thou art mine.

International ForgerS

The Senate is forced to under
take an investigation especially
because of this latter charge.
While the financing of
Nicaraguan revolution might be
overlooked, as well as donations to
the British mine strike, the
Chinese reds and a Japanese
colonization scheme, it is i'm
possible to disregard the in
situation that $1,200,000 or any
thing like it, were set aside for
four United States Senators.
So we come to the idea of an
international gang of thieves and
forgers which operates not only
in Mexico and the United States,
but in many other countries, and
which has developed as a natural
consequence of secret diplomacy.
The struggle to establish friend
ly relations between governments
not only involves exposure and
punishment OF the former, but
abandonment of the latter.

To the Editor:
I see in your issue of the Times
of Dec. IL, 1927, few remarks made
by Fred Lands on "Guts;" I for
one would like to know what he
did or said in 1924, concerning in
tolerance.
I see at this time he is long on the
word intolerance" but fails to fully
explain who or what he is referring
to. -D0es he have in mind the in
tolerance of the twelve men and
their followers that started out to
become the possessors of all the
wealth of this county, or does he
refer to the intolerance" of our
churches, who should be our great
est leader and guide, which doors
should never be opened only for
the most sacred purposes, but which
doors are continually opened for
the very worst of hypocrits.
Or, does he refer to the "intoler-
ance" of the mismanagement of our
Government affairs until 1t has
brought about condition that only
twenty-five to fifty per cent of the
voters will assume the responsibility
or exercise the right of voting.
There are so many intolerances I
would like to really know what he
was referring to. as I am a Demo-
crat and never did ride a "cowardly
jackass' and never intend to ride
one.
have always assumed the honor
and also the responsibility of being
a Democrat, one that no living per-
son or persons can dictate to.
I also see that Mr.. Lands puts
the voters in three classes in 1924,
to wit: Bought, Scared and Dis
gusted. want to know which class
he was in.
I for one refuse to stand under
either one of his charges, Bought,
Scared or Disguised, as I have been
fighting intolerance of all kinds and
descriptions all my life, and eX-
pect to the remainder Of my life,
fearlessly. undisgusted and I'M
bought.
If Mr.. Lands was by using the
word intolerance" referring to the
Ku-Klux Khan why did he not use
the correct word Ku Klnx Khan. 1t
is easier to spell than the word Gin
tolerance. and all could have fully
understood what he meant, or did
he get in the habit like SO many 9TH
er towards In using the word "in-
tolerance"
Then If the Ku-Klux Khan or any
other intolerators called them on
the question they would claim they
were referring to another and en-
tirely different intolerance. I for
one have from my first study of the
Ku-Klux Ian honestly believed and
still believe that the effects of Khan
ism will prove worse curse than
slavery, as slavery only spread to a
few States, while the effects of
Klanism will reach and effect in
some way every person on the globe.
Some very able minded persons
think Klanism is dead or thing
of the past, but my opinion we will
see the effects of it fo- years, and I
also think it a very live corpse yet.

HOPE ID UNEARTH
 MURDER VICTIMS
HaSsen, Soon to Die, Describes Spot Where Four Bodies Lie

Whittier Cal, Feb. l P)-A bar rier of clay today stood between the police and the possible discovery oi four more victims in the murder career of George J. Hassell now awaiting execution in Texas for the slaying of his V . and eight step children there.
 Hassell, according to a letter re- ccived from Sheriff L. l.. Leaward Of Walker county. Texas, confessed recently that ten years ago he killed a woman with whom he was living here and her three adopted children, burying their bodies beneath the house.
 Guided by a chart prepared by Hassell, police in relays last night dug their way through hard clay to a point which they estimated to be within two feet of where the boides should be found. When the digging was concluded for the night, a pit five feet deep and five feet long had been made. Because of the cramp- cd quarters only one man Is permit fed 10 dig at a time.
 Authorities expressed the belief that the victims of Hassell's admitted staying may have been Mrs. Marie vogel, formerly of Pittsburgh, Cali fornia, and her three adopted chill dren who disappeared from here un- der mysterious circumstances in 1917.
 Hassell, in his purported confess eion, said he was living here under the name of "G. Baker" when he murdered the woman with whom he was living over an argument as to whether he should go into the army This was shortly after the United States entered the world war and the selective draft was about to be enforced, he said. He choked and clubbed Mrs. Baker" to death and then killed the sleeping children.
 Mrs Myrtle Lark, a neighbor. yes- Aerday told the police of the strange disappearance of Mrs. Baker" and her children. Baker. as he was known here. told neighbors that his wife had been called to San Fran cisco by the death of sister. Mrs. Lark said she saw Baker Barry large and apparently heavy trunk to the garag, on the day that the woman and children were first missed. At night she saw him carry ing "other small bundles" into the garage. During the days which fol- lowed Baker was noticed crawling under the house, throwing out dirt and rubbish.
 Later Mrs Lark observed Baker digging a large hole in the floor of his garage.
 A few months later Baker brought another woman and child to live with him. She was introduced to Mrs. Lark as his housekeeper. Soon after that, Baker disappeared.
 Several years after the disappear ence of the Baker family, authorities here were asked to search for Mrs. Vogel. The request came from Mrs. Gertrude Hoffman of Pittsburgh, sister, who said she had not heard from Mrs. Vogel in eleven years. No trace of the missing woman was found.
