JUSTICE

My Country, 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty, Of Thee We Sing"
 On another column is the story, the closing chapter Of which is be- ing written. The next term of the EIstrict Court will deprive several mtn of their liberty because they dared go along side of a trap to get a few salmon to sell in order that they might be able to pay a few bills and insure a few more Iaeals. But they got caught and one already is serving. time for an alleged violation of the law.
 Several years after a conspiracy to defraud the United States gov ernment out of several hundred million dollars in oil properties, Fall and Doheny are able to bat a hgh average and still keep the Attorney General from putting them behind penal bars. Oh, Liber- ty, what crimes are committed h thy name.
 A "f1sh-pirate" is one who se- cures salmon in contravention to legitimate practice and in contra vention to law. The law requires that traps shall not be put in opera tion within 500 yards of any sal moi stream At Staney Creek, on the West Coast of Prince of Wales the Northwestern Fisheries put a trap RIGHT AT THE MOUTH OF A STREAM and not 500 yards from it. Complaint was filed with Thc Honorable "Heinie" O'Malley He PROMISED an early investigation In the fall after some $25, ,000 in fish was taken from the traps, a fish warden came along and arrest ed the trap for fishing in violation Of law. The District Attorney, George Arthur Shoup, the same who prosecuted the fish pirates last fall had the case against the NV. Fisheries. The Canadian lawyer, Herbert l.. Faulkner of Juneau was counsel for the trap. The trap was convicted per SC N w. Fisheries and fined $400. and costs. They kept all the fish and profit from same. The seed fish not permitted to enter the stream that year on account of "O'Malle-vaticn" some times misunderstood as conserva- tion.
 |. is not a crime to enter into conspiracy to defraud the United States Government of a hundred bullion or so in oil lands; not if nc has the money to stave off ac- tion It is not fish piracy to de- liherately set trap in contraven- tion to lawful practice and defraud the governmentout of $25,0OO in salmon. No, when the crime gets to the point when money expresses it's silent power, it is no longer crime. But when the poor fool, putting his every last dollar into a seine boat and net, having family to support, goes into trap in order that he might stave off privation and hardship from those he loves, then if caught, it is crime against society and the criminal must be punished even if the government is put to considerable expense so that the fear of the slave driver might be put into the hearts of the resi- dent fishermen.
 LIBERTY greets the immigrant as he comes to our shores but it is beginning to look as if she were counterfeit.
 Lord God of Hosts. Be with us yet, Lest we forget, Lest we for get.

SPEECH DEFECTS
ARE UNNECESSARY
Teachers Believe Many Faults
Could Be Corrected

Seattle. Wash. July RNThe
elimination Of the social and voca.
tional handicap Of speech defects
through special corrective training
in the public schools was urged by
Miss Alice Liljegren today at the
conference of Corrective Speech
Teachers Of the National Educa.
tional association.
Miss Liljegren is supervisor Of
speech correction in the public
schools of Omaha, Nebraska.
statistics indicate that there are
half O million children in our
schools who have speech defects"
she said. The speech defect handi.
cap is largely unnecessary. Euro
pean schools have demonstrated that
over 80 per cent Of all defect cases
are durable. our own experience in
the Omaha schools verifles this
statement.
THE only remedy for speech de-
fects is reeducation in speech habits.
therefore, the correction of speech
defects is an educational problem.
intentionally the speech defective
Is barred from many OF the profess
sions and from many forms of bust
ness, His efficiency is lowered in any
occupation. Socially the speech de.
fective is even more seriously handi-
capped. A speech defect is often
the direct cause OF permanent de-
fects of character which cause seri-
Gus social Embellishments.

tho dispatch. takes the viewpoint
that the reported opposition Of the
secretary Of the navy means aban-
donment Of the flight, the secretary
being Commander Byrd's superior
officer.
Secretary Wilbur said last Satur-
day he considered that a flight
around the equator would be Of
more value than Commander Byrds
proposed south pole flight.
1t was a chatty lunch without
other formalities than the toast pro-
posed by NJ. Bokanowski which was
drunk to the health OF crews of the
America and Columbia.
After coffee. the guests went into
the beautiful garden of the ministry
of commerce where photographers
and motion picture operators made
additions to their already large
stock of plates and reels.
Telephone girls from the Central
station crowded the windows and
cheered the aviators. Drawing from
NJ. Bokanowski the remark, Mean
while the poor telephone subscribers
must be waiting for good many

Giant Coffee Pot Is
First Sign in City

Winston Salem. n. s., July 7 Pl--
Standing at a busy corner as one
of the landmarks of old Salem, is
a gigantic tin coffee pot, capable
if filled of supplying probably half
the city's present population with
its matutinal blend.
Many fantastic stories concern
ing the coffee pots origin have sur
rounded it with mysterious
glamour. But its chief claim to
fame lies in the fact it was. per-
haps. the first piece of direct ad-
vertsing in this section.
The pot was erected In 1858 by
julius Mickey. tinsmith of the little
Moravian colony of Salem, the first
man ever to sell cooking stoves in
this part Of the Carolnas.
One story has 1t that it was built
to shelter soldiers during the Civil
war. A trap door in its bottom
lends color to this opinion, and
ready access to small boys who
have climbed in it to startle with
strange noises elderly ladies and
gentlemen on their way to church.

claimed that through It the yearly

raised from S1,700 to more than
$4,000 and that the other concern
would in the same manner be raised
from 1910 to $1,000. Eleven other

Motors of America Are
Found in Fair Condition

Cherbourg. France, July 7 OPT.
Harold kinkade, motor expert of
the Wright aeronautical corporation,
today inspected Commander Byrd's
transatlantic plane America at the
naval aviation center here.
He found the two side motors ap-
parently in good condition, but the
central motor was somewhat damag-
ed. All had been thoroughly clean
ed by the French staff here and
bore no traces OF their immersion in
the landing of the America off YER
Sur Mer.
1t is probable that the motors and
the rest of the plane will be boxed
and put abroad the Leviathan. on
which passage for Commander Byrd
and his flying companions has been
tentatively booked.

RESTAURANTS IN
France complain
Cosmopolitan Eaters Are Going
Out Of StVle

Paris, July P9French restau-
rant keepers complain that cosmo-
politan eaters are going out of style.
For proof they point to the grow
ing number of catsup and Wor-
cestershire sauce bottles to be
found or high priced dining tables
in Paris. Americans demand
abroad the same things they eat at
home, they say.
Corned beef hash and chicken
Maryland are in the ascendancy in
Paris and filet of sole with special
sauces is on the decline. At one Of
the most expensive restaurants
Irish stew appears frequently on
the menu and is one Of the recog-
nized specialities of the house.
Hot-cakes are another cause for
discomfort. The Americans flock
to the places where they can get
them. One of the flourishing res
taurants de luxe, newcomer since
the war, made its reputation on
hot cakes and sausages.
Sitting up at a bar to eat is an
other American habit which the
French restaurant keepers deplore.
1t leads to the sandwich habit.
which the Frenchman has not ac-
quired, and does away with the
offices of waiter, large and i'm
portant profession in France. Also
1t threatens the old tradition of the
two hour lunch.
Nevertheless there are a few
counter lunches doing rushing
business in Paris.
The dining vocabulary OF the
American abroad becomes more
restricted yearly. says the proprie-
tor of one of the famous eating
places on the Boulevards. Ameri-
cans quail in the presence OF I'M
known food, he asserts. In the
land famous for its snails, frog
legs and bouillabaisse, the visitors
get panicky when the menu is pre-
scented and order ham and eggs.

Wilbur Not. Opposed


Washington, July 7.-tR-secre-
tary Wilbur sees no objection to the
proposed South Pole flight Of Com
mander Richard E. Byrd.
Furthermore, he believes such an
expedition although extremely
hazardous, would result in the gath
ering Of valuable data about condi-
lions in the antarctic.
The secretary made his position
clear today because of misleading
dispatches cabled abroad that, as
Byrd's superior officer, he had voiced
opposition to the polar trip.
Il hate to see Commander Byrd
risk his life," the secretary said to-
day on his return from four day
cruise down the Potomac. but If he
proposes to 60 to the South Pole, the
navy would interpose no objection"
Commander Byrd. although a re-
tired naval officer, is on leave from
active duty. and therefore still is
subject to orders Of the navy de-
partment.

airships now available with a cruis-
ing radius of from 2,400 to 1000
miles, it would be entirely practi-
cable for Byrd to fly clear across the
South Pole and take photographs
that undoubtedly would add valuable
contributions to the scientific knowl-
edge already obtained from Byrd's
North Pole journey and the subse-
quent transatlantic hops.
Last week Mr.. Wilbur in discus
sing the proposed South Pole air
expedition, expressed belief that a
flight by air around the earth's
equator would be more productive
Of scientific information.
At that time he said that the ad-
visibility of such a flight around
the earth's circumference had been
recommended to him and that he
was giving 1t consideration. The
secretary, however, did not disclose
the source Of the recommendation
nor did he indicate that it had ad-
vanced beyond an embryo stage.

physical condition. tho statement
continued
Commander Byrd and his three
fliers came through miraculously.
No serious injuries were suffered
all had multiple contusions and
some shock. Acosta suffered a
fracture OF the outer end Of the
right collarbone, and Neville a
sprain OF the right knee. They are
in excellent spirits and are enjoying
their stay in Europe immensely.
while all fliers try to prepare
themselves for such a flight by
careful attention to the rules Of
health, 1t was impossible In this in
stance to do what would be wise
and what they would have liked.
For nearly three weeks they were
kept under constant strain by
watching for weather conditions.
being up very frequently the greater
part OF the night and disturbed In
the daytime by multitudes Of visi-
tors.
These three weeks of strain, ir-
regular life and lack of sleep badly
prepared them for the terrific
struggle which was to come. They
look back upon that preliminary
waiting as being as hard as any
part of their flight.
THE overwhelming reception
which has been theirs since their
arrival in France has given them
practically no time for rest, but the
outpouring of good feeling, the
stimulation OF the enthusiastic re-
ceptions the evident fraternity and
the opportunity to serve internation-
al understanding have buoyed them
up.
After Sunday they will begin. It
is hoped, to recoup both in nerve
and body, which have been 20
severely strained but which proved
adequate to this wonderful expert
ence.
From the moment OF their ar
rival until now, the physician In
charge has been keenly alert for the
slightest evidence which would lead

He posed accommodatingly for the
operator, at the same time making a
little speech into the microphone
concerning the flight.
The second engagement of the day
for the Americas crew was with
Maurice Bokanowski, French cabi-
net minister who rendered them a
luncheon at p. m. They arrived
somewhat late, but the French
guests were later. When Commader
Byrd appeared. there was no one
