TIE, BURNS DETECTIVES

It is useless to expect William J. Burns 10 give the federal grand jury more than a favorable report of why his detectives were shadow ing the jurymen in the Fall-Sinclair case. The relation of the Burns agency to the people who hired it Is like lawyer to client. and nothing will be admitted that is derogatory to the client. Under such circum- stances even the best Of detectives sometimes suffer from bad mem ories.
 The impression in some circles is that the object was blackmail or bribery, or both. One naturally is in- clined to ask whether there is such q thing as ethics in the private de- tective business. considering the palpably ignoble employment to which they sometimes are put.

SMITHS INCREASED STRENGTH

Newspaper editors throughout the nation are busily engaged in analyz- ing the self-evident strength Of Governor Smith in his home state: how the election results of this week show him to be head and shoulders above any other candidate in popularity and esteem.
 And they are saying, some of them reluctantly. that he has shown himself almost cosmic force in contemporary American public life.
 The plain truth is that the Demo- cratic party will prove itself even a more obtuse and stubborn mule than usual If it does not nominate Smith for the presidential race.
 Here is a man who will carry New York state hands down. And only once in American politics has the nation elected president without the aid of New York-at the time Wilson defeated Hughes. It can hap pen again, of course. but not very often.
 The two-thirds rule Is Smiths most potent enemy in gaining the nomination, and through the opera ton of this archaic survival the southern delegates in a measure can control the destinies of the party which is another way of saying they can plunge it into sure defeat if they don't embrace the opportunity of nominating the incontcstably strongest candidate the party has had in a generation.
 The two-thirders may be long on principle and have cracked ideas as 1 to what is best but when they con- i template the possibilities of sharing
 in the loaves and fishes perhaps ] they will forget their past objections ! 10 the logical candidate.

RUTH ELDERS PILOT

The Charleston News and Courier arises to remark that while Ruth Elder holds the center of the spot light. her air pilot, George Halde- man, without whom she would have landed in the Atlantic Ocean, is somewhere in the background and rarely has his name been mentioned in the dispatches.
 All of which 1. true. Modest George does not happen to be a pretty girl. In transatlantic air stuntery there is no such thing as equality of the sexes.

 Fred Sloan turned his horses head towards the Sun-baked gulch, rolled a brown paper cigarette with one hand and hummed little tune. In two hours >he should be at the water-hole, and in two hours more at the Bar L Ranch.
 He smiled at the thought of Mary-dear little girl. Not until lately had he dreamed that she meant so much to him. But at night, under the flickcring glow of the camp fire, q man had time to think things out. BANG!.
 A bullet zipped through Sloan's hat and flattened against the cliff above him. Quick as flash, Sloan turned and saw Red" Buckins rid ing rapidly away-already out of range. Sloan was perpleXed.
 WHY had Buckins tried to kill him? What reason had he? The more he thought, the more puzzled he became. And the more the au- thor of this story thought, the more puzzled she became, too.

.aShburn to Play
Training School
Tomorrow Evening

Washburn, after meeting the Phan-
toms in Bismarck tonight, has still
another hard battle to fight, for the
State Training School quint is to be
the Miners opponent tomorrow eve
ming on the local floor.
The Miners, who arc used to a
much smaller floor than the one Bis
marck high school boasts, are coming
down tonight confident they can exc
out win over the Phontoms despite
the handicap under which they will
be playing.
Fans, however, are wondering just
what will happen when the Miners
step out on the huge Training School
floor, for it over-shadows the Bis
marck floor completely.
The Trainers have speedy team
and, with the revamped lineup they
will present. ought. to give ample
cause for worry. king" Williams,
who has been such 4 threat to oppon
ents in past games, viii start at cen
ter in the coming encounter, accord
ing to the tentative lineup, while
Neavle and Teilman will hold forward
positions and Sholl and Harvey
guards.
In Washburn's Lineup will likely
be Holton and Sweitzer at forwards;
Peterson at center and Chestworth
and Thorstensen at guard. Holton
and Sweitzer are two of Washburn's
best bets and will require close
guarding in both tonight's and to-
morrow nights game. They haze
speed and uncanny ability to make
their shots register accurately.
Peterson will be in at center and
should give good account Of HIM
self. while Chestworth and Thorsten-
sen will finish out the quint which
displayed so much speed and fighting
teamwork in a game two weeks ago.
