Lest We Forget


in investigating the Stephenson charges of political
corruption ended its work. it added its report of
mo indictments" This is the only report possible
under conditions which existed within the grand
jury"
That phrase becomes even more important now
than it was significant at that time.
For the second grand jury, so rules Judge James
A. Collins, was approached with an offer of brides.
He has convicted and sentenced James Armi-
age for contempt and by that decision puts the seal of
judicial truth upon the charge by Grand Juror Achey
that Armitage had offered him $4,000 in money and
a city Job if he would vote against any indictment
against Mayor Duvall, matter what evidence was
presented
That is now the official record and Judge Col
Inns has very properly ordered Prosecutor Remy to
file direct nformations against any and all persons
who should be indicted and who were not indicted.
But the public will also be curious and certainly
the prosecutor aud the two assistants, Emsley w.
Johnson and John W. Hoffman, named by Collins
to assist should be curious the meaning of that
cryptic report of the former grand jury.
1t is now matter of judicial record that one of
the conditions surrounding the Investigations of the
jury first discharged that outside influences
offering money for protection.
That much is known of the jury which had no
other duty than to pursue the inquiries started by
the jury which had more resources and advantages.
1t must be remembered, too, that the former
grand jury met at time when the statute of lima-
tons bar to prosecutions of political crimes.
1t was much nearer to the elections and official pro-
ceedings which Stephenson from his cell burted
we're corrupted by himself.
II there was need of bribery at the present time,
was there need of bribery last fall when the former
grand jury invited attention to it's ncapacity?
That jury gave vindicaton to state officials.
Was that the result of the conditions within the
jury" or it judgment that based on honest
opinion?
Certain it is that any reason for tampering with
jurors that existed when Armtage offered his BRIDE
as Judge Collins ruled he did, existed in a much
greater degree when the former grand jury chas
ing the elusive witnesses found itself hampered
and blocked whenever it tried to get the of
Stephenson from his convict cell.
Now that the court has been warned that jurors
have been offered brides to protect officials, is 1t be-
yond the rights of the public to demand that the
members of the former grand jury he asked just what
they meant when they called attention to conditions
within their body which prevented different
report than the whitewash of all State officials?
The public now knows, from the records of
Judge Collins court that it's grand jurors have been
offered brides.
The public wants to know and officials should
share that curiosity, as to what happened to the
former jury.
1t would seem that the simple expedient of call
ing all the members of that body into open court
and asking an explanation would not be too much
to ask.

The Lion Calls the Eagle a Liar

Recently Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury wrote President Hibben of Princeton,
saying it would not hurt Britain much to pay her
war debt to America because she will receive from
Germany and from her allies quite enough to square
the account
In Britain this is tender subject. Her diplomacy
for the past four or five years has been directed
toward building up, in continental Europe quite the
contrary impression. So well has she succeeded in
fact, that today her reputation generous credi
tor stands high while America is looked upon
the shyock among nations
So MELONS statement to Hibben informally
characterized in Britain as tissue of falsehoods'
and now top of that, to the utter amazement of
large eyed world comes official note from the
British government saying much the thing,
only in potter language and virtually calling on
Washington for a correction
This newspaper does not pretend to say which
of these two gentlemen 1ed-Secretary Mellon or
Winston Churchill British chancellor of the ex-
chequer and real author Of the note. We suspect
neither of them did.
Our bunch is that the trouble lies with the
figures serving as basis for their calculations For
while figures don't lie they certainly can, and often
do, deceive like all out of doors
Our real concern is rather the fact that
the two great branches of the English speaking
should haggle so over thing like this. If we are
going to become vicious a mere question of
money what hope have of standing shoulder to
shoulder to face the really vital problems to come?
OF course, the British did not expect, and prob.
ably did not want "a detailed reply to their note.
1t was primarily intended for continental European
consumption and its main purpose was accom-
plished once published in that part of the world
Proud Albion would hesitate to ask directly
for further scaling down of her debt to us but
ii she can keep the agitation going in France and
elsewhere on the continent including Germany ITSELF
ultimately reopenng of the whole reparations and
war debts question will become inevitable. Then
Britain Will proht along with the rest in any general
program of cancellation or scaling down.
1t will be a long time before we hear the last
of the war debts. But we shall hear more of the
war debts before long time.

A Worthy Contest

The Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion
Of Aeronautics announces the posting OF $l5oo0O
in prizes for "safe aircraft competition. BY this
means it hopes to take American aernautics long
step along the road to real safety in the air
OF course, everything considered, our arplanes
are remarkably safe right But the tragedy
that took the lives of Noel Davis and Stanton Woos
er emphasizes that there is much yet to be done
The afrplane is a wonderful instrument waiting

ought to help it immensely. 1t is step in the
right direction.

TRACY
" Says:
France Is More Than LIZ
ing Up to English
Expectations.
BY NJ. E. Tracy

The British debt note was written
for two reasons: First, to surround
the Tory party with halo of pa
triotism, and, second, to set off some
anti-American fireworks on the con-
tinent. ...-. ...............
With the labor situation on it's
hand. the Tory party felt the need
of distracting public attention. With
a badly balanced budget it felt the
need Of reopening the debt contro-
versy.
1t assumed that France could be
depended upon to take up that con-
troversy II and when the proper cue
were given.
The assumption proved correct
France is more than living up to
English expectations. II the last
analysis" says one French writer,
Great Britain signed an o L. Now
she finds that she can't fulfill 1t. AS
for France, she prefers not to sign"
True to her traditions, Great
Britain has started a row for some.

Babbitt Government

Nicholas Murray Butler says the
Republicans will lose IL they back
up the Volstead act, and that a new
party is likely to be formed IL both
Republicans and Democrats back it
up. He says that We have been gov
erned by Rabbits long enough.
Whatever one. may think of his
views, Butler certainly makes them
clear. There is no possibility Of mis-
understanding what the man thinks.
We would probably be bettere off
If there were more like him in this
country, moro who would stShd
right out in the open and express
their opinions honestly. ,
1t does not make very much diff
ference whether a man is for pro-
hibition or against it, but it makes
a lot If he lacks the courage to
say what he thinks.

Taggart May Be Right

Tom Taggart believes that Evans
D. Woollen would make good
Democratic presidential candidate,
and he may be right.
The difficulty lies in getting
enough Democrats to think so.
Woollen is an able banker and
well liked citizen of indianapolis.
He made fairly good run for the
Senate last year. Beyond that he
has had very little political expert
ence.
His availability rests on the fact
that he has not been mixed up in
politics long enough to offend any
one.
Considering how hopelessly the
Democratic party seems to be dead.
locked this may prove important.

Lynch Law

Governor Martineau of Arkansas
says that he is convinced the police
and sheriff's forces could have pre-
vented the lynching of John Carter
In Little Rock last Wednesday.
His opinion is borne out by the at.
titude Of local newspapers which are
severe in their criticism of city and
county authorities. 1t is also borne
out by the explanations of Mayor
Meyer and Alderman Bilheimer.
Mayor Meyer declares that the city
councils decision not to order police
interference with the mob probably
saved the lives of ESQ citizens.
Alderman Bilhelmer, who was act
ing mayor at the time of the lynch
ing. indorses this view. explaining
that the mob was in no humor for
argument.

Having made some easy money in
Chicago, a kidnapping gang sought
larger opportunities in New York.
1t began operation on April 2s by
kidnapping two wealthy men and de-
