To the Editor:
Quite good many of us felt duNM
ing the time of Warren T. MI
Cray's trial that there was MISC {.
ing link or two somewhere along
the line, and felt that it would be
found. The missing link was buried
pretty deep in the n1ire at the time,
and more mire has been added. The
fall floods, and the spring thawS,
however, have uncovered, little by
little, until we find that we may
have enough missing links before
long to make q mammoth chain;
the like that has never been known.
To perform the many things that
Mr.. McCray was found guilty Of,
without the assistance of some one
else. man would have to be more
even than a master mind. Possibly
a super master mind might do it,
but not Mr.. McCray. McCray is
just about the average in mentality
just plain, observing, business
man.
We realized, of course, and do
yCO, VlldS J1lC ClltllSo OlldJ TIC was
found guilty of, were not becoming
to the Governor Of any State. But
as time has passed and other things
shown up, we are compelled to look
at McCray more as a martyr to his
party, than criminal and are
rather surprised that he so carefully
shielded his associates and antag-
onists, and went the way of GRIM
inal-alone. He could have had
plenty of company. He might be a
bit choicy about the company he
picks, too.
The people of Indiana should try
to make this 62-year-old eX-gover-
nor feel that they are glad to have
him home again, and very likely
he can help clear up the political
maze, and encourage what few Of
our influential members that have
evolved from the larva or spirf d
less state, to assist the public W
smoking out the alley rats that in
fest our public places
Warren r. McCray has paid the
price, he is one of our boys. Let's
make him feel at home again.

Changes Often UnheraIded

Writing in 1778, Elkhanor Watson
predicted that the United States
would be a nation of from ninety
to one hundred million people by
the end of the nineteenth century.
He had far less to go on than
Dean Inge, but made wonderfully
close estimate. He foresaw a
change of which there was little
indication, while the dean foresees
one of which there is every indi =.
ton.
The trouble is that great changes
usually take place without much
indication, and in that lies the
Deans real difficulty.

papers iii the United States.
Is heavy or violent exercise lust
before or after eating good for a
person?
Violent exercise Immediately after
eating prevents digestion by taking
the blood to the muscles and thwart-
ing the regular digestive faculties
which it otherwise performs. Vio-
lent exercise just before eating will
create an appetite, but eating heav-
lily just after violent exercise does
not give the body time to come to a
normal condition of blood pressure,
pulse and other functions. A brief
interval Of ten or fifteen minutes
should be allowed for the average
person.
Who is entitled to membership in
the Gold Star Mothers organiza-
ton?
Any mother whose son died in the
uniform of his country during the
World War. This applies to battle
deaths, deaths by wounds or other
calamity and disease.
How many Italian-bo residents
of the United States are there?
3,365,864, according to the last
census.
What is the full name of General
Pershing?
John Joseph Pershing.
How old is Alice Terry, the mo-
ton picture actress?
Thirty-one years.
What is the approximate price of
rough diamonds at the diamond
fields and how does 1t compare with
the price of the cut stones?
Before the war the price of rough
diamonds in the field was, slightly
less than $40 per carat. The price
of uncut stones is low compared to
that of cut stones, because it is
practically impossible to tell the
grade of carbon until the rough
stone has been broken, and the pur-
chaser is required to assume all risk

value and left him stranded along with those from
which he had borrowed.
He then was governor of Indiana but that did not
prevent his being stripped Of his robes of Office and
sent to prison as common felon. No doubt he de-
served the penalty and certainly it a significant
example of the inpartialty with which the Federal
Government hands out justice. but those who know
McCray best do not believe that he was then ever
had been a criminal at heart.
But in any event he appears to have suffered
enough and what he now needs is not further punish
ment but help.

NEWSPAPER MEN
GET EVERY AID
FROM PRESIDENT
Coolidge Developing Into
Real Fourth Estater"
While on Vacation.

RAPID CITY, S. D. July 10
President Coolidge has developed
into a good newspaper managing
editor since he came out here this
summer where news is scarce and
newspapermen are at their wits end
to find important information for
newspapers.
Voluntarily the President sug-
gested to corps of Washington cor
respondents shortly after their az
rival that they should not try to
write all possible stories at once
and that they should save some of
their ideas for future use. He
thought newspapermen were writ
ing too much about varied subjects
in one story where they might save
each subject for separate pieces.
One of the correspondents asked
him if he had any subjects in mind
to aid bewildered journalists who
had run out Of ideas. He SUCCESS:
ed that the Federal Dry Farming
Project at Ardmore which he visit
ed last Sunday and the irrigation
project at Bellefourche would be
ideal subjects for two or more stories
concerning aid the federal govern
ment is giving this section of the
country.
Furthermore Mr. Coolidge has
done all he can to heln corresnor
dents who have suffered from lack
of facilities. He informed them al
the beginning that he would do al
he could to make their stay here
pleasant and that he realized diff
culties in wire transmission and dis
tances out here in the open space.

The Palace of Justice was in

ed that last Fridays riots would
not interfere with the machinery Of

Both rebellious socialists and the
clerical government declared them
selves victorious in the internal

The government attributed col
lapse of the riots to realization by
Socialists that all revolutionary
acts would be met with a strong
hand and conquered.
The Socialists, on the other hand,
argued that the masses had won u
victory when the government per-
mitted the Republican guard, the
Socialists police force, to bear
arms.

dead from the weekend rioting at
81 and the critically wounded at
