THE REAST GLOATS

Everywhere in this land there are boys and
girls who will receive with Of personal dis
aster, the news that after twenty-five years the
beast has finally won and overcome Judge Ben Lind
sey, famous founder of the juvenile court
From that day twenty-five years ago when Judge
Lindsey declared for the doctrine of honor and
trust instead of cruelty and torce, ne mas hau no
fight the forces of evil.
That invisible government which Lindsey de-
scribed as the beast in his revelations of his po-
litical battles hated the practical application oil
Christianity which he brought to the courts when
thew dealt with children. They preferred the old
system of tails and handouts and the more ancient
system of Larshness.
They hated worse the courage and the insight
of Lindsey when he linked juvenile crime to crooked
politics and showed that the theft of franchise,
oppressive rates for utility service, made impossible
the Fairgrounds that would take the child from the
temptation of the streets
Thew hated more the liberal spirit of Lindsey
and his bold declarations that every child is entitled
to his chance.
They called him hypnotst when he sent boys
without guards or policemen to detention homes
and reformatories until their moral courage and
strength could be built up under conditions that re-
moved temptations.
They called him challatan and fakir when he
actually followed his own announced principles of
appeal to the honor of lad instead of attempting
to terrorize.
For twenty-five years the battle has ragged
around Lindsey and in the meantime Nation has
followed his teachings and his doctrines
Every juvenile court in the land is monument
to his vision and his work. He has gone up and
down the land spreading the doctrine of the new
day and the people of other States answered. with
the passage of laws which have given to the boy or
girl who makes mistakes a better chance for decent
living,
There are untold thousands OF men and women,
today living respected and useful lives, who would
have developed into criminals under the old system
They owe their success to the doctrines of Lindsey
Now, at the end of twenty-five years. the courts
have thrown him out of his office. There was a
bitter fight two years ago. His old enemies, the
utility corporations, used the hatred of the khan
which they famed into virulent hate The election
was close. The throwing out of precinct was
sufficient to dislodge him.
Today the beast he fought so long ticks its
chops and gloats The youth of the land if it re-
members it's best friend will mourn.

FRIENDSHIP OR FORCE

what has happened in Nicaragua intensifies
our conviction as to the gravity of the problem
OF our relationships with our neighbors on the
south. We can not conceal from ourselves the
fact that there has been fresh outbreak of sus-
picon on the part of Latin-American peoples that
the United States may undertake to dominate by
force their economic and political life
1--WE earnestly hope, therefore, that the pro
posal to submit the present controversy with
Mexico to arbitration will not only result In a
peaceful solution of the existing difficulties but
also lead our Government to formulate a clear pol
icy for our future relations with the peoples and
governments Of Latin-America. That policy should
be free from even the appearance of effort forclby
to control the life of other sovereign nations. 1t
should exalt the principles of friendship and help
fitness in all our contacts with our Latin.Ameri-
can neghbors. The Federal Council of
Churches.

WHAT is COOLIDGE's POSITION

President Coolidge favors arbitration with Mex
leo, it, maybe and of course.
Some newspapers following the White House
press conference last Friday, announced that Cool
idge was definitely opposed to arbitration Others
announced that he wasn't really opposed to it at all
President Coolidge" declared the Washington
Post, through his spokesman, gave no encourage
nent the hope that the real controversy between
Mexico and the United States could be settled by
arbitration
THE President" declared the New York Herald
Tribune, refused to enter into a discussion OF the
arbitration proposal This does not mean, it is ex
planned Administration circles, that he is opposed
TO it.
Meanwhile, in Mexico City the Excelsior carried
a special dispatch from Washington asserting that
Coolidge was opposed to arbitration. This report
however, was not confirmed by Washington dis
patches to other papers in Mexico City.
In such a serious situation, President Coolidge
should, it seems, make his views known more frank
ly or not at all.
This is one time, at least, that the White House
conferences should not be used for political purposes

tainy the State not afford to have two of its
official bodies openly charging crimes against each
other and no inquiry to settle the question.
There u.s. of course much graver part of the
resolution which the people might reasonably expect
would secure immediate attention.
That refers to the whole scandal of last fall
which laid bare in letter from the prison cell
of d. C. Stephenson, power in the Legislature Of
two years ago and convict under life sentence.
The resolution calls attention to the peculiar
verdict of the recent grand jury which indicted its
own report by calling attention to unnamed but
usual conditions which prevailed in its inquiry.
One of the conditions in that grand jury which
unusual the payment of $1,000 in fees to
special prosecutors from the funds OF the Governor
The Governor is asking again for huge sums to
be spent without any control by other officials.
The matters under inquiry by the grand jury for
which these special prosecutors were paid by his
own funds included charges against the Governor.
Friends of the Governor who expected that he
would urge the Legislature to act quickly have
waited in vain for such a demand
The situation is unusual and perhaps significant.
Possibly these officials involved feel that they
have so firm grip the public mind that they
need vindication. And then again they may have
other motives for their singular silence.

THE LATEST BID

The American Cyanamd Company has submit
ted a new bid for Muscle Shoals.
Informed persons will hardly become excited
If this company really had any great offer up its
sleeve it would have made it years ago
1t is hampered by unacceptable scientific facts
Senator Sackett of Kentucky, member Of the
joint congressional leasing committee, who voted
against the companys earlier bid, summed up the
business in Senate speech Dec. 13:
Nitrogen will be PRODUCED cheaper aud with
less restrictions under the synthetic methods which
have for their base the Justification of coal gas
pared to the methods induced by the tremendous
heats produced in electrical furnaces"
All students Of the question agree in that con-
cuson.
And yet this company proposes to manufacture
cheap fertilizer by the electrical method Already in
the fertilizer business, it is presumably, manufacture
ing and selling cheaply commercially possible
1t do it more cheaply at Muscle Shoals only if
the Government allows it a great subsidy in camou
tagged form.
Senator Sackett said: I'VE are seeking leases
Of the whole Muscle Shoals properties just at time
when the forms of manufacture are in the develop.
ment stage, when methods already indicate the
abandonment of electrical power in favor Of direct
l. utilization of coal"
3 Farmers need cheap fertilizer, but their ends
|#yil not be served unless they get it under an ar
arrangement scientifically and commercially sound
arrangement that will last not for few years but
for ever.

again, ali because he has his shirt
on his very own back. Am just try
ing to tell YOU that the Marx Broth
ers, four of them, three really car
rying the show to its great success
and popularity, have arrived here
in THE Cocoanuts." Now let us
understand each other from the very
beginning. l believe that the Marx
Brothers i'm THE Cocoanuts" have
a show which will please at least
ninety-nine people out of every hun
dred that goes to English's this
week, and l do not have so much
doubt about the other one. Here
is musical comedy having plot
and as many scenes as some revues,
but it is a musical comedy and not
a revue.
1.-THE Cocoanuts" is to the Marx
brothers as "Topsy and Eva" is TO
the Duncan sisters and what 1.-THE
Ham Tree" was to Mcintyre and
Heath. In other words, the Marx
brothers not only have a show in
1.-THE Cocoanuts," but they have an
institution.
Let us look at the high lights Of
this show:
l. The rapid fire. intelligent,
smart. tricky and brilliant slapstick
comedy patter of Groucho Marx.
This is the man who seems to give
birth to jokes right on the stage
with as much ease as if he We're
drinking a glass of water. His
comedy always has a point and it
lands solid. This edition of the
Marx Brothers has a sense of the
theater which is sure fire.
.. Harpo Marx, the silent one,
who does not say a single word dur
ing the entire show. By pantomime,
this man gets as many laughs as
any of the talking comedians. And
when this man gets busy with real
melody and real comedy on the harp,
well, the show just stops cold and
it nearly takes a dynamite blast to
get it started. This man knows
what to do to a harp to make it a
riot.
3. Chico Marx, playing Willie, the
Wop, has an individual comedy
turn. He isn't the foil as he creates
comedy situations himself. He be-

Rolling Around

y Dakota man says he is going TO
revolutionize transportation with a
speed ball" which he has invented
and intends to put on the market.
The ball, he declares, is natures
speediest contrivance. He is. right.
Nothing moves so fast as the suns
and planets of the universe.
So far as we have been able to
learn, however, nobody rides on the
inside, which is the arrangement he
proposed.
His speed balr' is hollow, with a
shaft running through it from which
basket is suspended. The basket
contains the motive powers which
drives the contraption by a. system of
gears. There is a window at each
end of the shaft.
Wouldn't it be funny to see human
ity rolling around over the country
side in a lot Of balls, and how would
the traffic cop know which way they
were going, coming, or about to
turn?

Good Law, But

Judge Ben Lindsey finds 1t hard to
understand why he has been thrown
out of office by the Colorado Supreme
Court, and so do some other people.
The election contest instituted
against him was decided in his favor
by a district judge who thought the
contestant had made such a poor
case that he didn't bother to hear
Lindsey's side. on the contestants
appeal, however. the Supreme Court
reversed the decision and held that
Lindsey was not elected, though he
had a majority of 1871.
a sidelight on the case is to be
found in the fact that a star wit.
ness against Lindsey was sentenced
TO Jail for perjury.
Good law, no doubt. but awfully
difficult for the average man 10
fathom.
