the criminal proceedings are over
Anyone who wishes may bet on
the governments chances to beat
Sinclair before the supreme court
and recover Teapot Dome, but you
never can tell about jury OF
twelve good men and true.
Pomerene and Roberts were
sorely disappointed with the Do
heny jury, but as there are more
technicalities and maneuvers in
high finance involved in the pres
cnt case they are not ovcr-confi-
dent of convieting Sinclair and Fall.
They may even get another jury
none of whose members have ever
read about the case in the news.
papers. In the last trial, the prose-
cution had use up nine out of ten
challenges when the defense had
used but four, after which they were
helpless, for if they used the tenth
challenge almost anyone could get
on the jury after that.
Would Like 1t Elsewhere
The prosecution would as soon
try this case outside Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, where people
vote, assume responsibilities OF
citizenship and do not believe gen.
orally that it's really no crime to
gyp the government.
On the other hand, the judges of
the district supreme court where the
trial will be held are all high-grade.
Justice Hoehling gave q virtually
perfect performance at the Fall.
Dohcny trial and Justice Siddons,
who will preside at the coming trial,
is highly respected.
The trend of the governments
case probably will follow closely
the lines Of its civil suit to annul
the Teapot lease, but different tao
tics are used in reaching the
jurors mind from those employed
in impressing the judicial mind.
It appears that the Fall-Sin-
clair jury will not be subjected to
lurid picture Of the yellow peril
DOGGY, that it will not be likely at
the outset to consider the hard
boiled Sinclair a kindly old man
incapable of misdoings and that it
will not be told that the $3.50, 500
Sinclair is alleged to have sneaked
to Fall was only q friendly loan
from one old prospector to another.
Difficult Task
But it may be difficult to con-
vince an ordinary jury beyond
doubt that Sinclair bribed Fall.
The government would like to be
able to show that Sinclair planked
down couple Of hundred thousand
dollars on Falls desk when the
lease was signed, but it can't. It
will try to show that Sinclair passed
the bride by promoting the CONT
mental Trading Co., Ltd, in Canada,
which was used only to buy oil al
ready contracted for and sell it at
a profit, some of said profits being
converted to liberty bonds later
brought to Fall in Pueblo, Colo, by
his son-in-law, NJ. T. Everhart.
A different method from that of
sending Fall by hand black bag
containing 100000!
The government, however, con-
siders that its case is strengthened
by evidence that Fall allowed no
competitive bidding for Teapot
Dome and that Fall handled the
whole lease virtually by himself,
in secret and high-handed man.

EXP LAlNS HOW STATE Mill ELEVATOR
] HAD LOSS OF OVER $4,000 in 1926

of the country have reported having
been equally prosperous for the past
two years.
I've show a condensed statement
Of operations of the state mill and
elevator combined, from the begin
ming Of operations to June 80, 1927.
From this statement, it will be OBJ
served that the per barrel cost Of
operating expense and general cx-
pcnsc Of the mill and elevator have
been gradually reduced each year,
with the lowest costs during the
year 1926; therefore, the supervi-
sion Of the manufacturing and han
ding process at the state mill can
not be charged with contributing to
the increased losses Of that year.
Hlames iradings Tor Trouble
"The flour yield from the wheat
ground seems to compare favorably
for the year 1926 with other years
production records and no part OIL
the excessive loss can be charged
to that branch of the operations and
the only conclusion that can be had
is that the trouble has mostly been
in the tradings."
In his consolidated statement
showing the financial results OF the
mills operation since it first began
production in October. 1922, Lund
shows the manufacturing costs with
the attendant loss or gain. the sell
ing and general expense, the loss eX-
elusive of construction bond inter
est and the loss including the bond
interest. These items are shown not
only in total but on the basis Of the
loss per barrel on each item for
each year.
The highest per barrel loss was
sl.l63 for the first eight months o.
1922 and the next highest was 1o.3
cents per barrel for 1926.
The lowest loss per barrel was
2o.3 cents for the period from Aug
ust to December 81. 1923.
The losses by periods arc shown

THANK YOU"

Two little words that make
the world rum more smoothly
that ease the hard places of lire
and absorb many of it's shocks
are THANK YOU
They are the sign Of a grac.
ious spirit. They bespeak a gen.
erous attitude that would not
withhold praise from those that
deserve it-a commodity with
which too many of us are stingy
The majority of us take too
much for granted. In land OF
plenty and among a people of
infinite resources, we expect
much and acceIi, everything as
a matter of course.
Yet ones best friend likes to
hear an appreciative word.
While a compliment deserved
by an outsider and extended
frankly and generously will of,
ten convert an enemy into an
ally.
Appreciation, like charity, be-
gins at home and among those
nearest and dearest. The prince
of good fellows is a failure and
Ia hypocrite unless he takes his
reputation home with him at
night and arrays it with smiles
and pleasant words at the break
fast table in the morning.
These two little words,
Thank YOU makes the world
run more smoothly. Learn to
speak them. No praise is ever
wholly undeserved. Encourag-
ing words are as great mir
|acle worker as this old world
knows.

APPLES

Of the fruits that delight the
eye and please the palate, none
is more deserving of praise
than the apple. Since prehist-
ORIG times apples have been
known and their cultivation be.
gan in a remote period. With
the exception of those regions
of extreme heat or cold, apples
grow everywhere. Even where
the fruit is small the trees are
priced for the blossoms. There
are almost as many varieties
of a.loles as there are soils and
climates, and they differ in size
all the way from the Siberian
Crab to the pound Pippin, and
in flavor from the tart Green
ing to- the insipid Ben Davis.
Yet, common as the apple is, it
is not commonplace nor has its
popularity ever waned. Along
side the peach, the pear, the
plum and the apricot, the apple
holds by general consent a sort
of priority.
Whichever way you eat an
apple, whether you pare and
nalve it with a knife, or follow
ing the homespun fashion, eat
it out of hand, skins and all, it
is good. "An apple a day. may
not keep the doctor away" al
together, but as wholesome
and healthful frult, the apple
is justly famed. Pies may come
and pies may go, but apple pies
go on forever. AS for apple but
ter, well, there may be better
spreads but up to date they
have not been invented or dis
covered. Sweet. apple cider is
the only interesting temper
ance drink in the world, and oh
boy, to think of an apple cob
bier swimming in a bowl of jer-
sey cream!
The apple days are here. Fill
up the bin. The long evenings
have come. Keep the home fires
burning in the open fireplaces,
and likewise "a plate or basket
Of red apples on the table in
the living room. rs long as
there are apples, particularly
red apples, life is worth the
struggle.

Newspaper Enforcement

Every little while one sees in
the papers articles quoting the
police, sheriff and officers of the
law, in which the official declare
there will begin drive" to rig
idly enforce some law or regul-
9ticn. This is especially true in
traffic matters.
The questions that arise in
our mind is whether or not such
spasmodic attempts to drive"
people into obedience to law is
RIGHT. Secondly; whether con-
dition where people have to be
driven into obedience to their
own constituted rules of civil
action or conduct is an unheal-
thy one. Ignorance of the law
should not be an excuse.
Third phase of the matter is
whether the newspaper as a
community institution should
be asked to clutter up it's col,
umns with admonitions to citi-
zens to obey the laws which,
through their own representa-
ives, they have passed for their
own government and control.
The Dickinson County Herald
has always been glad to back
the authorities and permit in
sertions of such articles. And
we s''n'>ose we shall continue to
run them in our columns until
the dreams of the Utopians
come true. But we are absolut-
ely opposed to a principle Of en-
forcement, rather to col'dTt
ion of enforcement, that neces-
'ates the continual telling peo-
ne to do something or not to do
something they ought already
70 know to do or not to do. It is
getting to a state of affairs
where the violator waits to get
his glaring headlights fixed,
his new license plates his muff-
Ter closed, his speed reduced.
his idea of whether to obey ston
and slow signals UNTIL HE
SEES SOMETHING ABOUT
A DRIVE" OR ENFORCE
MFNT CAMPAIGN IN THE
NEWSPAPERS!
If such condition, natural
" brought on by the people
themselves, is wanted and is
the desirable condition, the
Dickinson County Herald will
take its Place along with other
papers in serving the commun-
ity in that way. But if the sys-
tenn IS all wrong land we are be-
ginning to convince ourselves
that it isl, the Dickinson Coun-
ty Herald has courage enough
to use the same medium to put
a stop to the practice.
The gist of the whole mat
ter is that we have placed too
much responsibility on the law
and too little responsibility on
The citizen. In turn, the citizen
has depended too much on the
newspaper and other public
factors to remind him of his
duty to the community and to
society. Peoltle generally agree
on the moral codes; nearly
every one of us knows the diff
ference between safe driving
and recklessness. The law and
individual conscience should be
the only reminder necessary.
