Decent Senate

The Senate OF the United States is
to be congratulated. 1t has done the
decent, sensible thing in barring
Frank L. Smith from a seat until his
case has been fully examined.
His appointment by Governor
Small was virtually a challenge.
Smith and his hackers hoped the
Senate might be stampeded, or
tricked into seating him for the short
term.
With that precedent established,
they hoped to get him by for the
long term. Quite few shallow
arguments have been used to cover
the stratagem and some honest folks
have fallen for them.
For once, however, the Senate, or
at least a sufficient majority, was
big enough, or scared enough, TO
hew to the line.

Chaplin Finding Out 1t
Pays to Pay Uncle
Sam.
BY NJ. f. Tracy

Outside its morbid and disgusting
features, the Chaplin divorce case
is interesting because it promises
to disclose what he Is worth.
There have been rumors galore
regarding his pay and fortune.
Some have rated him as high as
$16,OO0,000, while some have put it
one-fifth that amount. The receiver
ship into which he was forced has
already brought out 100000 cash
on hand and something like
$1,50O,000 in other property.
To complicate matters, Uncle
Sam is demanding million or so by
way of taxes. 1t grows harder and
harder for a man of means to 20
into court over money matters if he
has forgotten to tell this prying old
Uncle Sam all the facts.
Charlie might have been better off
had he paid his wife the alimony
and counsel fees she demanded
without a fuss. Perhaps he would.
If 1t hadn't been for the lawyers.

Power of Numbers

There is power in numbers. No
cat is afraid of a mouse. or several
mice, but let enough of the little
animals come around and the cat will
run.
That is being demonstrated in Cali
fornia, where cats brought out to
relieve an infested countryside, are
actually fleeing before their COM
monest prey.
When the army of little rodents
began to swarm over hill and dale,
everybody called for cats. 1t was
supposed. Of course, that they would
wade right in and do what was ex-
pected Of them.
Not only pet cats, but all the
strays that could be found were
rounded up and sent to the fronts.
No sooner cid they behold what was
before them, however, than they
lost their appetite. erected their tails
and ran for II. Too much Of a good
thing is simply too much.

MexiCO'S Courts

Thirty-one foreign oil companies
are seeking injunctions to restrain
the Mexican government from en-
forcing the new law. Such action
will eventually force the Supreme
Court of Mexico to pass on the con-
stitutionality of the law.
For these reasons. it is logical and
timely. 1t would have been taken in
any other civilized country, without
any such fuss as has been made in
diplomatic circles.
Because of the racket that has
been made, especially at Washington,
average people get the impression
that Mexico has no supreme court
and no recognized method of adjust
ing such matters in a legal way.
As matter of record, Mexico has
a rather fine judicial system and able
lawyers to administer it. After her
own machinery has been tried, it
will be time enough to talk about
interference from the outside.

CONCERNING COLONEL SMITH

There is more than one way of looking at the
United States Senate's treatment of Senator-desig-
nate Smith of Illinois
In its legal aspect considerable straning Is nee
essary to assert the right of the Senate bar
appointed by the Governor of Illinois to fill vacancy
caused by DEATH
For Smith did not present himself as Senator
chosen by the people of his State at general cleo.
ton. SO his conduct in accepting contributions
from public utilities magnates while still head Of the
Illinois commerce commission, as revealed by the
Reed committee investigation, didn't bear directly
on his appointment by Governor Small.
While the Smith appointed by Governor Small to
fill the Mckinley vacancy happens to be the same
Smith who was elected for the full term beginning
next December, still the appointment by the Gov
ernor was perfectly legal and constitutional If
the primary nomination we're not; and, despite the
public utility campaign contributions the legality of
Smiths nomination and election is not in question
So. really the reason for slamming the door is
based moral grounds-theoreticaIly If the plain
truth is told many Senators voted against Smith be-
cause they afraid of the political consequences
of voting for him. What happened to many of the
Senators who voted for Truman H. Newberry in a
similar case, helped inspire the fear.
Without going into the right of the Senate to
determine what manner Of men any State may send
to the Senate the practical effect of the Smith epi.
sode should be to help make 1t difficult for men to
buy their way into the Senate or have their seats
bought for them by special interests. 1t isn't bad
thing for the Senate to send out warning that
when Senator'S present themselves for admittance
Will be safe to come with clean hands.
And having set themselves up as judges oil
political morality and agreed on the virtue of clean
hands it may not be too much to hope that those al
ready in the Senate will live up to the moral stand
ard they have established
we needn't bother much about the possible fu
ture danger from the precedent established II it Is
USED IN the future to work injustice the Senate can
change the rules and establish precedent Any
how there will be quite general satisfaction with the
fate OF Smith, regardless Of differences of opinion
as to the soundness of either the legal or moral yard
stick with which he Is measured.

Penalty for Revoke Is Two
Tricks Off of Revolving
Side,
BY Milton c. Work

The pointer for today is:
The penalty for a revoke Is two
tricks taken from the tricks of the
revolving side and added to the
tricks of the other side.
So large a percentake of the let
ters 1 receive refer to the revoke
and to questions connected with it,
that I am convinced the 1926 revoke
law is not yet thoroughly under
stood.
To fail to follow suit is to refuse:
to refuse when holding a card of the
suit led is to renOunce; to renounce
and fail to correct the error in time
Is to REVOKE. II the renouncer or
his partner lead or play to the fol
lowing trick, revoke is established
but If the renounce be corrected be-
fore the renouncer or his partner
has led or played to the following
trick, there is no revoke. To score
the revoke penalty is simple, and the
as many seem to find it difficult, ]
propose a formula which may sim
plify. o. When, during the play, a
revoke is discovered, do not imme-
diately shift any tricks, let the re-
voker keep the tricks he has won
until the end of the hand. (2) AT
the end of the hand, after both sides
have gathered their tricks Including
those, if any, won by aid of the re
voke), take two tricks from the side
that revoked and add them to the
tricks of the other side. (3) Forget
the revoke and count the tricks after
the shift just as if they had been
won in play. Many players seem I'M
able to realize that although the re-
woke penalty was once paid in points
and then the revoking side could not
score, and slams made by aid of pen
alties could not be counted, all of
this is now obsolete; the present pen
atty is tricks, not points.
To answer a few frequently asked
questions: (a) When Declarer would
have been set had he not acquired
enough penalty tricks for an adverse
revoke to make his contract, he
scores all his tricks as If won in play.
(b) When Declarer has enough
tricks, including revoke penalty
tricks, to make slam, he scores it.
(c) The adversaries do not score
necessarily because Declarer revokes:
it is only when their tricks won, plus
penalty tricks, are sufficient to de-
feat the contract, that the adversar-
les score above the line. Declarer's
adversaries never score below the
line, revoke or no revoke. Id Doubl.
ing and redoubling affect the score
after a revoke just as if there had
been no revoke. E. g., two No
Trumps doubled, Declarer wins one
| odd and the adversaries revoke: De.
clarer makes his game (three-odd at
doubled value) and scores so for his
contract and so for the extra trick.
(e) Honors are counted as dealt by
both sides exactly as If there had
been no revoke.

woke tomorrow.

do; they say "How's cows?'

large colored population, the best agri-
cultural lands being divided into large
farms, and cropped by negro tenants.
They have had labor shortage in re-
cent years, caused by the negroes NOV

until in the afternoon, Starkville looks
like Lexington on "draw" day; earlier
in the morning and later in the after
noon, it looks like Lexington on Sun
day. The folks are milking cows!
This prosperity is displayed in i'm

and improved property generally and
every farm home has the milk plat
form in front.
Holmes county is working for like

soon be in operation at Durant, and 9th

be employed in the Lexington territory

believe that with proper encouragement
and assistance, Holmes will likewise be
a leading dairy center within the next
few years.

of Starkville and the Borden conden-

remained for G. H. Love, present super
intendent of education in Holmes coun-
ty, and a successful dairyman few
years ago, to get the "inside" figures
on just what this great industry means,
and what the average farmer may expect
from his dairy cows, once adequate
markets are available.
Mr.. Love has large farm on the
gravel road near Franklin and for
some time he has been planning on

cal markets are opened. He went to
Starkville with this in mind, saying

of farmers, large and small, white and

figures quoted may be accepted as au-

a check for milk supplied during July
amounting to $324000. Taking one OF
these tenants as an example, negro
