Presidential Vacations

The outcome of President Coolidge's trip to yell
lowstone Park shows pretty conclusively why a
presidents vacation trips even lest restful than
those of the average citizen
President Coolidge went to Yellowstone to relax.
Has he been able to do it? Very little. He went to
the Black Hills for the same reason Most OF his
relaxation there consisted of being snapped at Al
different angles by IS different news photographers
Wherever he has gone, he has been followed by a
curious crowd and by the very nature of his position
he is helpless to prevent it. couple of years from
now he can come back to the park and wander about
much as he pleases with one to bother him. But
now he is proving of more interest than the natural
wonders which he journeyed to see.
1t would seem that the only way president could
relax would be to make strict rule that he might
have two or more months of every year to himself.
Such rule might not jibe strictly with the prin-
ciples of democracy, but it would be more humane
and it would insure our keeping good man for the
full length of his term and then letting him live
long and useful life instead of cutting him off at
a comparatively early age, we have done with our
curiosity and ionchasing to the past two presidents

Cuba the Goat

The sugar crop Of Cuba this year was limited ia
$500 900 tons. President Machado now announces
that the limit for the next crop probably will b
fixed at 100000 TONS
This restriction is the result Of overproduction
the Cubans having faced somewhat the same stua-
ton that the South faced through its great cotton
crop of last year. 1t would logical to cut the
supply to meet the demand.
But here another factor enters Other countries
besides Cuba grow sugar They get better prices
for their crop as q result of the Cuban restriction
but in these other countries no effort is made
toward curtament at all; rather the opposite is the
aim-to produce as much as possible and benefit by
the good prices.
Thus during the last year while Cuban companies
were having not so rosy time of it. producers in
other countries waxed fat on the profits Cuba has
been the goat in this. Artificial tampering with
prices where there is monopoly of supply is no:
the safest measure to use.

Editorial Comment
Probation OverdOne
Chicago. Tribune)

The Chicago crime commission has demonstrated
again its value to the community by calling atten-
ton to the extraordinary extent of probation in
the administration of justice in Cook county. The
commission reports that during June our judges
put IS many offenders on probation. after finding
Of guilt they sent to Joliet Pontiac. In that
month As were sentenced to Joliet and 81 to Pom
tiac, while 66 were found guilty and put pro-
baton. Nor is this very exceptional ratio. From
January to July, inclusive, 432 were sentenced to
Joliet or Pontiac and 324 released on probation.
We think this is OVERRIDING probation, and our
opinion is strengthened by the commissions analy-
sis of the offenses thus dealt with in the June
record, namely: Ten robberies with guns, nine rob-
beres two assaults with intent to rob, IL burglares
Is larcenes, two receiving stolen property, three
entertainments, four forgeries. five confidence
games, three conspiraces and three other offenses
The record for the half year is of the same char.
acter. The greater number of the offenses for
which leniency is granted are of serious nature
involving violence and think the commission will
have the approval of public opinion when it suggests
that with all due regard for the benefits of proba
ton in really deserving cases, the release of SO
many offenders guilty of crimes Of violence other
grave crimes calls for serious consideration It in
dicates tendency to relax the discipline of justice
which is in danger Of dscreditng the principle of
probation and defeating the restraining influence Of
the law.

The statement that American Intervention n
Latin American republics had resulted in the
slaughter of thousands of their citizens was made
by Horace G. Knowles. former American minister
Nicaragua and other countries, several days ago.
He made the statement at a round table discus.
sion sponsored by the Institute of Politics and
fortunately there man present who, by his
knowledge of the situation in the southern repub-
lies, was able to refute the statement and bring
forth facts to show that the American weakness in
handling South American affairs had been too
little aggressiveness and not too much of it, That
man was Commander John Shafroth of the United
States navy.
Mr.. Knowles claimed that 1--WE have imposed our
force weak, helpless and defenseless countries
and slaughtered thousands of their citizens. We
have attacked them when they expected We would
defend them. We have used the Monroe doctrine
to prevent sympathetic European nations going to
their when We abused them"
He went to say that this country sent con-
ccssion hunters. constituencies and usurious bank
ers, avaricious capitalists. bribers. commercial
trcksters murderers, soldiers to shoot them, in
stead of teachers, instructors and helpers"
To this. Commander Shafroth replied by pointing
out that soldiers sent to the southern nations
to preserve law and orler, and not to force
unless law and order have been rendered nugatory.
1t is surprising that who should have
represented the United States in diplomatic capac
1 ity should have said the things Mr. Knowles did.
and it can be explained only by assuming that he
let himself be little too receptive to the argu-
mcnts of political parties opposed to the law and
order which the United States represents.
Despite all the hulabaloo that has been raised
about it, the fact remains that our policy in South
America has been consistently humane and far-see-
! ing. There has been no attempt at intimidation
In such cases where it has been necessary to- use
force, it has been used as Commander Shafroth
pointed out, only when disturbance of the peace Of
any country has been serious that drastic meas
ures have been necessary.
1t is only natural for those who see the chance to
enrich themselves 20 become enraged when they see
country like the United States step in to prevent
!: smaller nation from being robbed and looted
That some diplomats should adopt of ju-
dical attitude when in these countries it is painfully
apparent from the statements Of Mr.. Knowles
South America have had their vision twisted as
he has.
