Read 1t and Weep Says
Article in Medical
Magazine.

'Read it and weep" says an edi-
torial in American Medicine, one of
the leading medical journals, and
then goes on to quote the letter of
Attorney General Arthur'L. Gilliom
to Governor jackson, citing the UNI
lawful use of whisky to save the
lives of Mrs. Jackson and the at
torney generals children. Gilliom
asked that the Governor recon-
mend modification to permit medi-
cinal liquor.
The article is entitled when the
Law Endangers Your Home" and
reads in part as follows:
1.-The address of the retiring presi-
dent of the American Medical Asso-
citation at the recent annual conven-
ton in Washington, d. c., was a
mastery presentation of the dis
graceful features of the prohibition
law and its restrictions on legitimate
medical practice. Every day the
evils of the law are being empha-
sized, and Congress must take steps
to correct these evils.
God knows we do not want the
saloon or the abuses of the past ever
to come back. But to brand every
honest doctor as untrustworthy or
criminal is calumny descent peo-
pie never should tolerate. There are
INSCRIPTIONS physicians. just as
there are crooks in every calling,
but to condemn a whole profession
for the acts of a few is a crying
shame.
There is another side to the
question even more serious and that
is the grave endangering of the lives
of innocent people by preventing
a physician from prescribing the
alcoholic stimulantS needed in in
dicated conditions.
mo better evidence of the
despicable nature of the medical
features of the law have been
brought out than is shown in dis
cuSSion of the conditions which
forced the Governor and the at
torney general of a great State to
violate the law, and render them
selves criminally liable, under its
provisions! We can only say-honest
men-read it and weep"

DEATH BATTLE
c. C. Julian, Canadian Wiz
ard of Finance, Fights
Coasts Bankers.
BY MAX STERN

LOS ANGELES, June 17.-Hero
or heavy villain in the dramatic
$140,000,000 Julian Petroleum Cor
poration bubble is G. q. Julian, all
according to the way you look at it.
Certainly it was this wiry
swarthy young Canadian wiIdcatter
who blew the lid, exposing to an
amazed public the picture of 400 of
California'S most powerful and re-
spectacle bankers, movie magnates
former judges and patriots engaged
in pool" loans to the corporations
wreckers, totaling between $80,OOO,-
900 and $100,000,0OO.
And these loans were at interest
rates averaging 228 percent year
running to as high as 900 percent
Whether he himself is 100 percent
pure is a question that has not beer
taken into court.
Tom Lawson of 1927
Julian might be called the Tom
Lawson of this era. He has taken
on for finish fight bankers whose
names and fame spread to all parts
OF the country. He charges that
ban king pirates deliberately
wrecked Julian Pete and sought to
seize its $300O0,000 properties; and
that they charged his successor, S
G. Lewis, upwards of $11,O00,000 in
uSurious interest (others say it goes
as high as $18,000,000).
He says that if this were returned
according to the state law of three
dollars back for every one dollar
taken in usury it would rebuild the
company and compensate the 10000
stockholders, now holding 100000
shares of over-issued and spurious
stock; that these men, not the poor
boobS' facing indictment, are to
blame for recent history's most re-
vealing scandal.
Who is Julian? He was raised
on a Canada farm. When his father
died the family moved to Winnipeg
and G. c. sold newspapers, clerked
in drug stores and sold milk to sup
port his mother, sister and two
brothers.
In 1907 he came to California in
the oil rush and worked as a driller
in Bakersfield at $275 a day. Back
to Canada, he became a Victoria
realtor and cleaned up a modest
fortune.
The war broke him, and he came
back to the Kern County oil fields,
roughnecking it in Taft. Finally he
began validating, and fortune
smiled. He struck oil. From then
on he Sky-rocketed to wealth and
fame, If not to popularity.
Owns Radio Station
He has a wife and two children.
He is only AZ years old. He rides
up and down the coast in his pri-
vate airplane. Most important of
all, he owns a 100000 broadcasting
station, KMTR.
At war with the former state cor
portion commissioner, he went into
politics. Shut out from the banks.
he turned his company over to
Lewis to finance, warning him
against the local banking fraternity
Shut out from the newspapers, he
took to the air" KMTR in Hollv-
wood became the nightly bearer of
the hottest scandal, the scourge of
regulations never before furnished
by a whisper, the broadcaster of the
loW-down on the Julian Swindle. /"
But no one yet has sued him for
libel or SANDER.

MAKES
LEGION SURE
OF WELCOME
France Eagerly Awaits Host
of Veterans; Differences
of Past Buried
BY MINOTT SAUNDERS


PARIS, June 1.-THE "flutter Of
wing" has so solidified Franco
American friendship that France is
awaiting with happy expectation the
coming of the American Legion
naires in September.
Charlie Lindbergh, with his mes
sage of strength and heroisn from
out of the west, has warmed the
hearts of the French quite as much
as the promise of those American
legions ten years ago.
"Lindbergh has put over the
American Legion convention" re-
marked prominent American Off
cial the day the young aviator took
Off for Brussels.
This same sentiment is felt, and
deeply appreciated, by all American
residents in Paris. All the little irri-
tations between the two peoples
have vanished, and France stands
with America today stronger than
at any time since 1917.
They Found Each Other
"You will seek in vain in the an
mails of Paris an enthusiasm more
prompt, more spontaneous, and
more complete than that of the well
come given to the young American
hero" said the Excelsior in a re-
markable editorial after Lindbergh
had departed.
1.-THE Kid of the Sky for forty
millions of French people, has be-
come a living legend, beside those of
Roland Garros, Guynemer, Nunges-
ser and Coli"
Two great peoples, by the flutter
of wing, have found each other"
And everywhere in France today
this is the manifest spirit which is
awaiting the American Legionnaires.
Villages ClamOr for Visit.
The question no longer is, What
to Go about the American invaders"
but How to find time to do more
for them"
Every day the Paris Post Of the
American Legion receives appeals
from villages large and small to be
remembered in the tour of the
legionnaires. Invitations already
have mounted to such extent that
only small portion can be fulfilled.
The most impressive delegation
that has visited Paris to invite the
Americans came from the city of
Metz. Thousands Of American boys
were being masSed for a great drive
against Metz in early November,
1918. The ArInistice halted the
drive. But the Americans never.
theless are looked upon as de-
liverers.
Remember the Americans.
The most touching invitations
come from the little villages. Back
in 1918 these settlements with such
funny names meant a great deal,
for time, to some of our boys.
The name of an old lady in whose
humble house the Yank might have
billeted may by this time have

slipped his mind. but she probably
remembers his name and very likely
she is telling her neighbors that she
hopes to see her boy again.
The talk gets around TO the
mayor, who very likely remembers
old friends as well, and the result
is an invitation to the American
Legion.
How these invitations are going
to be answered appears now to be
one of the chief problems of the
convention.
Even in the cities the spirit of
friendship for France and wartime
sentiment behind the pilgrimage is
being appreciated, and for this rea-
son the boys are sure of a cordial
welcome.

who'd fed them laughed aloud and
then replied to all the crowd. "'Tis
