) THERE'S A DIFFERING

When the grand jury which investigated for
eleven weeks charges of fraud and corruption in
the State adjourned three legal advisers of that
body declared that it had failed to do it's duty.

and Judge Cause likewise declared that in their opin
The law does not permit the prosecutor to file

In a similar situation in another county the
prosecutor Immediately filed such information when
the grand jury adjourned.
Mr. Remy did not do that Another grand jury
was called and after few weeks failed to make the
further Investigations recommended by its prede-
cessor. One member of that grand jury has re-
signed and apparently, Mr.. Remy does not believe
that the remaining five members constitute grand
jury, at least this inference may be drawn from the
fact that one of his deputies issued warrant charg
ing felony and dragged a prominent citizen from
his home at night, had him held for several hours
and proceeds to prosecute.
1t is true that this citizen not official,
he was not one of those against whom Mr. Remy
and his assistants heard evidence of corruption he
was not charged with offenses against the public
There those who are curious to know why
informations are not filed against those officials
that Mr.. Remy and his assistants said should have
been indicted months ago.
There's difference some place, perhaps Mr.
Remy knows what it is.

OUR PROPERTY IN
NICARAGUA
BY N. d. Cochran

Some critics Of President Cooidge's Nicaraguan
policy too quick the trigger and are TOO prone
shoot before they see the whites OF his eyes.
Take the criticism about planting marines all over
Nicaragua Calming it is done to protect American
lives and property, for example. The Administration
is bawed out because the marines always PICK Out
some spot where their presence viii interfere with
Sacasa's liberal giving the troops OF Diaz the
phoney president, good licking.
The inference is that the marines not protect
ing American lives and property all, playing
Secretary Kelloggs game of making it Impossible Tor
the people of Nicaragua to unseat president they
never seated. In fact it is claimed by some Oh the
critics that American lives AID property have not osen
in danger any time anywhere in Nicaragua
Nevertheless a good can be made out so far
as the protection American property is concerned
though there appears to be no danger to Amerl-
lives.
1t should be remembered that Diaz who is now
functioning president Of Nicaragua not elected
the job by the people Of Nicaragua. and that Dr.
Sacasa elected vice president and properly became
president when the elected president threw up his job
and flew the coop.
Daz got there through a revolution he pulled with
American money, having learned American tricks
while working a clerk for an American mining
company; and promptly recognized by alert
State Department the right in the right place
at least so far Uncle Sam concerned
And while it is true that have sent marines to
Nicaragua and have neutralzed zones occupied by
troops-and planted marines at the capital
protect Diaz, and had marines on hand ready to
step in front Saoasas guns whenever he takes aim
vanced to prove that by doing our noble Govern
ment protecting American property.
For President Diaz himself is really American
property 1t can not be argued that he is American
lives, for he isn't citizen of the United States. Work
ing for an American mining company clerk doesn't
confer citizenship of the country where he happens to
be working.
But if American interests took of. their Mica
raguan away from his desk ordered him start
a revolution, financed the revolution got him the job
president through subsidized congress and then
got the great United States Government recognize
him the real presdent-well, that comes pretty
near making that president American property.
And American property comes in mighty handy as
president of Central American republic. when we
want to make treaty with that republic. We can
draw up any old treaty Secretary Of State wants
to draw ordr property to sign on the dotted
line and thus make the thing unanimous.
This is very convenient and harmonious diplomacy
for it isn't necessary to consult the people of Mica
ragua American property in the person of our Mica
raguan president act for them.
So you see, must protect American property
in Nicaragua.

PITY POOR ARTHUR

What pitiful spectacle Indiana presents to the
Nation in the performance Of Senator Arthur Robin
son, who fights so earnestly and yet foolishy to
prevent Senator Reed from continuing probe of the
last Senatorial election If any other comment were
needed let it be found in the fact that Senator Wat
son, more anxious to prevent such an inquiry,
apologies for Robinsons acts and words the
ground of his youth.
Never before has one Indiana Senator been
compelled to apologize for his colleague, and if In
diana, which may have to suffer two more years of
Robinson desires to know what other Senators think
of Robinson take this description of what happened
to Robinson written by Frank Kent, veteran OBJ
server of national affairs and expert in truth:
"As directly could be- without rebuke
from the presiding officer he (Robnson) was told to
his face and with the manifest approval of many of
his colleagues that he coward, liar, a fool;
that he was peurile, calow contemplate, unmanly,
consciously untruthful, lost to sense of decency,
familiar with the smell of garbage"
Read the list of illustrious Senators given by
Indiana to the Nation and read again this picture of
Robinson drawn by his fellow-Senators.

Editor of The Times:

Editor of The Times:
After having read the article in
last nights Times concerning the
book agents who gain adnittance to
homes and then demand that one
buy, I decided to write to you and
tell you how I have been pestered
with them, and ask IL you can sug-
gest a method of Kidding the city
of such pests, for pests they certain
ly are.
/ live on the west side of town and
they are in the habit of paying an
nual visits out here. The first time
one ever called on me I was sur
prised, and received her just as the
paper told last night. wondering
what was wrong with the children's
school work, since the teacher hadn't
sent me any pote.
Well she was In and she realized
her advantage to the fullest extent,
and I was absolutely dumb before
her line. They all have line that
you could hang the family wash on,
and 1t seemed as If couldn't find
anything to say. When finally
made it clear to her that didn't
intend to buy the book, she became
very. indignant and said just exact
ly the things that were quoted in
last nights paper. BY the time
had the door closed con her l felt
like a wreck. Even Dorothy Dix
and Mary Bostwick would have jaw
practice keeping ahead of these book
agents.
The next spring another call was
made by two ladies and a man. One
lady did most of the talking When
she weakened the man turned in
and If I hadn't had hooked screen
door between they would have been
here yet.
That same year. in the fall. two
ladies called and demanded that I
give them time to explain. etc. /
told them to run right along that I
didn't have any more use for that
book than the desert has for a boat
house. They became very angry.
They said that they would report
me. Can you imagine that? ] asked

BY Milton c. Work

An often asked question Isl, what
changes should a player make in
bidding when switching from Bridge
to Contract? A successful Contract
player must understand Bridge bid
ding thoroughly; the Bridge bids now
are and probably always will be the
basis of Contract bids; but what diff
ferences should be made for Contract
cannot yet be fully and accurately
stated. Contract has not been played
in this country sufficiently to per-
NIT an expert determination upon
any conventional bidding system. AS
an illustration of how "the doctors
disagree" at a recent gathering of
experts I heard two of the most
brilliant players the country contains
voice their views upon Contract bid
ding as follows: 9Ho1
The first said: 'I have no well de-
fined ideas for a complete system,
but am sure of one thing; an origi-
nal bid should show one more trick.
than it does at Bridge"
The other (who had not heard tliS
above) said: at is too soon to sug-
gest any conventions for Contract
bidding, but one thing is certain; the
original bids of one should be ex-
actly the same as in Bridge" '+
Which Of these two views will ulti-
mately be adopted, or whether q
compromise will be reached, are
questions for the future to determine.
One thing, however, does seem GER
tain; the original two-bid of Auction
Bridge will not be used. In its place
a number of different holdings,
which would be one-bids at Bridge,
will be started with two. There prob
fably will be many hands which will
qualify for an original two mo
Trumps, although but few Bridge
Auctions are opened that way. What
strength should be required to raise
an original bid made by partner
from one to two, or from one to
three or more; or to raise an original
bid Of two or three, are matters still
undetermined: but in n short time
expert opinion doubtless will begin
to formulate conventions which have
proved to be the best for Contract
and which, il Contract continues in
favor, will gradually be generally
accepted, thus relieving the chaotic
condition which exists today.

Economic Injustice

We have developed an economic
situation in this country which is
unjust to the farmer, especially if
he raises staple crops. The average
grain or cotton grower does not
make as much as the average car
penter, plumber or brick mason
Things have come to a point where
it is impossible to take an average
thousand acres of land and make it
pay with labor that is hired at aver
age city wages. The idea that the
Government has no responsibility in
the matter would be tenable If the
Government had not helped TO bring
about such a situation through it's
control of the banking system. it's
distribution of credit and especially
it's tariff

Ford'S Charges

Henry Ford's magazine, the Dear
born Independent, charged that
Sapiro was in league with Jewish
bankers who were trying to gain
control of the food markets of the
world, and that through his activi-
ties more or less direct hook-up
was being established between them
and the various cooperative farm
movements in this country.
Sapiro brought suit against Ford
and the magazine for $1,000, 900,
claiming that the charges made
against him were untrue, that he
had never organized a farm CO.
operative, except when he was asked
to do so, and that he knew of no
conspiracy on the part of bankers
to gain market control through such
activities. Ford has retained Sem
ator James A. Reed of Missouri, as
his chief counsel in the case.
Thus, the farm problem enter poll
tics from a new and different angle.

RULED BY UTILITIES

As final and most appropriate act of the session
the State Legislature should take step to change
the of this State from Indiana to insult.
Since the State is ruled by this utility magnate
its laws dictated by his lawyers, it's officials selected
at his command it would be graceful and fitting
gesture as well an honest act to properly label
it with his name
There can be question to who really rules
in Indiana. The public utilities who sell the people
their electricity their gas. their telephone service,
their street car rides and water for the city have
taken the government. The demands of the
people for legislative relief have been spurned while
GUS note of divine command.
Not law which would curb the rapacity or greed
of any utility has been passed and the people suffer
ing from extortions and exactions demanded many
laws.
The same public service commission which did
not resent the open charge that it named by the
Governor of this State in return for huge CAM
paign contribution two years ago still remains in
power nor has the Governor who named that COM
mission demanded or asked that the charge of this
influence be investigated by the Legislature Instead,
his party associates in the House of Representa-
tives by vote declined to investigate this
charge The Governor did not ask for vindication.
Thus far every suggestion of any change in
feSulaIlOn III Ord0r TO make IL a protector
of the people instead of almoner to the corpora
tions has been defeated. The commissioners
are left in Office the same burden is borne by the
people.
In addition the State has been treated to the
shameful spectacle of arrogant utility lobby ap
parently able to deliver the votes of the peoples
legislators to their masters. This lobby has shown
all the evidence of prosperity and wealth. These
special pleaders for privilege have spent their money
freely. There have been entertainments of various
kinds and social favors at least which do not come
within the power of those who might rely upon Sc
day salaries if they should to return kind for
kind. The capitol has been besieged by men brought
here from other cities to play upon their friend
ship for and influence with local legislators.
This lobby has conquered 1t has secured all
that it desires And since the master mind of that
lobby directing his horde of sauye solicitors as a
general directs army on the field of battle lists

Weather As It Affects
Crops VIII Fix Status
of Coolidge Veto. T
BY M. e. Tracy

FIT. WORTH. Texas, Feb. &c.
Under ordinary circumstances, Presi-
dent Coolidge's veto of the McNary-
aaugen bill would be unpopular in
this section, but oil has softened
the blow.
Land has suddenly become valu.
able for what is under it, or for
what some folks think is under j.,
and, generally speaking, the farm
ers of northwest Texas are looking
to the lease hound for relief. In
some other parts Of Texas no such
happy illusionment prevails, and if
the usual Democratic majority were
not foregone conclusion. President
Coolidge would have alienated thou
sands of votes.

Argument.FaiI

Surely" says the President, "a
just and impartial, and open the
way for all farmers. Surely it must
not contemplate, as this measure
(the McNary-Haugen) inescapably
does, that farmers in some regions
should be penalized for the benefit
Of those in other regions"
Such reasoning falls fiat when Of
fered by a spokesman for the pro.
tectionist party. Admitting that the
McNary-Haugen bill is all Mr.. Cool
idge asserts, it still represents ex-
actly what high tariff does.

Sapiro'S Deeds

Aaron Sapiro, a Chicago attorney,
has probably done more to help
farmers organize than any man in
this country. He won nationwide
recognition by organizing the Cali
fornia fruit growers some fifteen
years ago. Since that time he has
organized scores Of cooperative en-
terprises, as well as great market
ing pools in wheat, cotton, beans, po-
tatoes and tobacco. He also has
acted as counsel for the American
Federation of Farm Bureaus.

FarmerS Unite

If the Government fails TO act in
their behalf, farmers will organize.
AS a matter of record, they are and
have been organizing on larger
scale than most people imagine.
While some of their efforts have
proved fruitless, others have resulted
in degree of price control which is
star ling. The fruit growers asso-
citation has entrenched itself in such
way as ought to make consumers
and politicians think twice.

T he Issue

It is in the grain, not the cotton
belt, that the political effect Of this
vote. will be revealed, and even there
the weather will have bearing. A
drouth in the United States, with
big crops for Europe, would smash
Mr.. .Coolidge's fine argument, while
a reserve condition would convert it
into masterpiece.

Looking to 1928

AS the situation now stands Presi-
dent Coolidge, who is commonly re-
garded as candidate to succeed
himself. has vetoed the McNary-H au-
gen bill; Senator Reed, a candidate
for the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation, will defend Ford in a libel
suit which grows out of the latter's
charges of chicanery in connection
with cooperative farm movements
and Tammany Hall is out for some
Kind of farm relief to help Al Smith.
If we don't have good weather,
the farm problem is likely to be-
come the paramount issue in the
next presidential campaign.

The request was in the nature of
royal command, and it marked the
first appearance of their majestics
