IRON a purely legal standpoint
Il it seems imperative to bring
Harry M. Blackmer back to the
United States if he can be extra
dited. From a common sense stand
point, it seems silly and Intellectual.
The man has chosen exile rather
than face the bar of justice in his
own country. Why not leave it that
way? Why not Danish him forever,
as the old Greeks used to do? Why
not make it impossible for him ever
to set foot on these shores again;
ex-patriate him; mark him with the
brand of his own choice?
To layInan, it looks as though
we were going through unnecessary
motions in this, case, merely were
staging futile show, when we have
a simple remedy at hand, a remedy
that would put the fear of God into
men like Blackmer, that would make
them think twice before they ran
away, rather than stand trial.
Under present circumstances he
and his kind not only have hopes of
getting off scot free, but get kick
out of thumbing their noses at our
law. Danish them and the adven-
ture would lose its thrill.

Bring Him Back

The long hand of the Government at last has
reached across the water in the attempt to bring Henry
NJ BlBackmer to Justice Acting under request Of the
Department of Justice The State Department has
asked France to extradite Blackmer, who has alb
sented himself ever since the Teapot Dome oil dis
closures threatened.
The Government can not afford to fail in this eff
fort to bring the oil man back to American soil Black
er may or may not be guilty of the charges brought
against him by Federal grand jury in Denver Of
perjury in connection with income tax returns; but
he should be compelled 70 stand trial like any ordi
nary citizen and prove his innocence
Among major factors contributing to disrespect for
the law is the immunity against arrest purchased by
wealthy citizens who flee the country. For several
years Blackner openly has outed the United States
Government lodging process servers refusing to re-
turn as a witness in the oil cases. and hanging on
doggedy to his share Of the profits of the Continen-
tai Trading Company deal.
Apparently the Government finally has filed
against him for an extradtable oense and the Amer
lean citizen ship which Blackmer repudiated will now
prove his nemesis
The power of the Government and the cause of
Justice can not be set at naught by the individual It
remains to be seen if this arrogant exile every penny
of whose fortune was made under the protection and
by reason of the opportunities afforded by the United
States can continue to make laughing stock of his
country

Business Cleans Up

The situation in Chicago illus
'trates how much more effectively
business can make politics behave
than politics can make business be-
have.
In that city politics not only
failed to prevent gang rule, but &C
tualN encouraged it, and nothing
was accomplished by way of relief
until group of merchants, lawyers
and other prominent citizens took
hold.
They were inspired to take hold
because they found the city was
losing trade on account of the
thuggery, hi5acking and hoodlum-
ism which had come to play such a
dominant part in its affairs.
This group of business men, act
ing Independently and without re-
gard to political alignment, has
done more to clean up Chicago in
three months than the local politi-
cal organizations did in ten years.

The West Appointment

The choice of Roy O. West to be Secretary of
the Interior is another of those instances which reveal
q blind spot in the mind of President Coolidge. A
power enterprises and particularly with great power
enterprises that have been intimately related to
practical politics the insult interest ought not to
be made Secretary of the Interior, an office that
directly associates him with formulation of the power
policies of the country.
But Mr. Coolidge does not see that fact, plain
though it may be to all Others All that he sees in
Mr. West is a substantial and conservative lawyer
who has won the financial success that means so
much in the Presidential eyes-that, plus faithful,
answering regularity party member and party
official.
In all probability, Mr.. West cannot do great
DEAL of one sort another in the Department of the
Interior in the remaining months of this adj
ministraton.
And of course the Senate will not have his nomi-
nation to the Office before it until December when
there will remain but three months of the admins
ration and three months in which very little is likely
to be done, either in the departments or in Con-
gress.
Nevertheless, the nomination of Mr.. West for this
post should not pass at this time without recognition
of its improperly. And when the Senate meets the
nomination should not be treated as the purely
routine affair of a dying administration.
Rather, it should be discussed and analysed If for
no other reason than that it is important to keep the
thought Of the country clear to the considerations
which should govern in the choice of members of the
Cabinet.

One More Chapter

Another chapter in the record of disaster
and shame that came with hooded hate to
Indiana was written Monday at Ft. Wayne in
petition of Clyde Walb to be declared a
bankrupt.
A year ago Walb was arrogantly speaking
for what he claimed to be the Republican party,
but which was then, as now, merely an organ
ization which had obtained the label and title
of party name.
A year ago Walb, free man, was plotting
and conspiring to destroy those who had dared
to raise their voices against corruption in this
State, was inspiring his venal henchmen to
spew their poisons and their SANDERS against
those who had exposed crime, was the leader
of the powerful crew that had wrecked the
State and pirated the ship. Evidently men
with money were afraid Of Walb or must have
trusted him nightly. For now it is disclosed
that he owes nearly $150,000 and has about
$4,000 worth of assets Borrowing power is in
creased with political power That is one way
politicians get money. Very often they forget
to pay.
It was Walb, as State chairman who jour-
neyed to the home of Robert Hicks, the South
Whitley editor who makes speciality OF ex-
posing mail order frauds, and asked Hicks not
to criticse Frank Rozelle, now United States
marshal Hicks had denounced, and still de-
nounces, the Rozelle business at La Grange as
a fraud upon the public, especially defenseless
invalids or semi-invalids seeking home work.
It is significant that the attitude Of Walb
toward Rozelle was similar to that of Senator
Arthur Robinson who declares that he has
every confidence in Rozelle and does nothing to
demand an inquiry-quite different from that
of Senator James Watson, who has written
the Department of Justice that an investiga-
ton, thorough one, must be had which will
either vindicate Rozelle or remove him from
his high political Office.
Of course Walb, these days, is not borrow
ing money He is not issuing interviews or
mandates. He is not debating to pardon
boards in behalf of new stockholders in his
enterprises Mr.. Walb is now guest of the
government.
1t may be we'll to remember the record of
the crew that fourished with Walb, who bor-
rowed so much money while he had power.
For the same influences which elevated
Walb to power and dictatorship and which
finally led him to disaster are hoping to re-
tain their grip upon the government.
Frank Daley is safe bet for those who
want new deal for Indiana.

men to have pity on the weak"
Dr. Oser points out that the rude necessities of life
made necessary for the to learn to prac-
tice crude medicine.
1.-THE first lessons to primitive man by in
urieS accidents bites of beasts and serpents perhaps
for long ages not appreciated by his childke mind
But little by little such experiences crystalized into
useful knowledge"
Severeal suggestions have been made as to how
primitive man first began to practice remedial meas
ures.
Osler rejected the suggestion of Pliny, a Roman
naturalist and writer of the first century, A. D. Plny
thought that man gained his first medical knowledge
by observing the actions of wild animals.
He thought however that CELSIUS Roman phi
oSopher of the second century, A. d. came closer to
the truth
CELSIUS wrote "Some of the sick on account of their
eagerness took food the first day. some on account
Of loathing, absained and the disease in those who
refrained more relieved"
Occurring daily, such things impressed careful
men, who noted what had best helped the sick then
began to prescribe them. In this way medicine had
its rise from the experience of the recovery of some
of the death Of Others from distinguishing the hurtfu
from the salutary things
AS you read that passage from CELSIUS reflect upon
the fact that it was written 1900 years ago.

COMETIMES it is the simple, OBJ
~ vious procedure which the player
overlooks and as a result of leading
incorrectly blocks his strong suit,
sacrificing tricks which he could
surely win by unlocking.
An illustration of a common stu
alton in which unlocking wins two
extra tricks follows:
Dummy holds-Diamond K 9 5
2;
Declarer holds-Diamond A O TO-
The declaration is no trump and
the lead is from the dun y. A player
might inadvertently TAX the first
trick with the diamond ing.
He would take the next wo tricks
with the diamond ace and diamond
queen. The three rounds would ex-
haust the diamonds in the declarer's
hand and he would have no means
Of returning to the dummy to make
the remaining cards in that suit
good.
Five tricks may be made in dia-
monds by leading a small card from
the dummy and taking the first
trick with the diamond ace.
The second trick should be taken
with the diamond queen. On the
third round the declarer should lead
the diamond 10 and overtake with
the diamond king in the dummy.
Unless either east or west holds
all of the missing diamonds, and
this is not the probable distribu-
ton, the two remaining cards in
the dummy will be winning tricks.

If Governor Al Smith is elected
President we will see an imme-
date repeal or modification of the
prohibition laws. Governor Smiths
election could mean no hing more
certain than that the American
people are opposed to prohibi-
ton.
He is making a bid for votes
on the main issue that he is OPP
posed to our present prohibition
laws.
Persons who favor repeal or
modification of prohibition laws
should vote for Smith; those who
believe in prohibition and want
the system continued and
strengthened should vote for
Hoover.
Congress will act in accordance
with the sentiment expressed in
the November election.
If Smith is elected a majority of
Congressman, both Democrat and

wins the majority will continue to

Common Sense Rule

Having freed business from the
regular fourth year scare, we have
gone a step farther and have be-
gun to think of Government, es-
pecially local Government, in bust
ness terms. Where cities and towns
used to be regarded as footballs.
to be kicked about by this or that
political clique, they now are
looked upon as economic structures
demanding efficient management.
We are saving money by this
change of attitude, and we are saw
ing lot Of time. Nine-tenths of
the arguing, haranguing and mud
singing that used to characterize
municipal elections, and that formed
the background of national elections
did little but blind the taxpayer to
the way his cash was wasted.
Business has taught us to recog-
nize the economic side of Govern
ment, and we are getting better
streets, better schools, better water
departments and better police pro-
lection because of it.

Health Magazine.
DROBABLY few diseases have so
l. many strange ideas and super
stitions associated with them as are
associated with mad dog bite.
In a current bulletin the health
department of Buffalo recalls the
belief that maidstone will prevent
the development of rabies or by
drophobia if the stone is applied
within a few hours after the bite.
The maidstone is supposed to be
obtained from the stomach or gall
bladder of white deer or a deer
with seven points to his antlers.
This, of course, is absolute
hokus or superstition with relation
to animals, such as Mackenzie has
described in his book of medical
folklore called The Infancy of
Medicine"
In ancient days madstones were
considered very precious and we're
left in wills as being Of the great
est value.
All mad dogs do not necessarily
froth at the mouth, neither do all
of them fear water, as might be
indicated by the name hydro
phobia
On the other hand, the disease
does affect the muscles of the
throat, producing & spasm, and this
is responsible for the belief in the
fear of water, since it is impossible
for the animal to swallow.
The disease is transmitted by the
bite of the animal, so that one dog
infects another, infects others ami
mails, or infects human beings.
Every dog bite should be taken
seriously. The bite is treated by
cauteriZation. The board of health

Evansville COURIER

Decision of the State of Ken
lucky to cooperate with the State
of Indiana in building bridge
over the Ohio River between
Evansville and Henderson ap-
parently means that the Ohio
River bridge problem is solved,
and solved permanently.
The span will be built, of course,
under the Indiana enabling act
enacted by the national congress,
and the plan under which it is
to be built will conform in gen.
eral way to the Indiana $3.50
bridge legislation.
Instead of the Vanderburgh
County and Indiana assuming the
financial burden involved, the
State of Indiana and the State of
Kentucky will assume it.
Kentucky will bear, according
ii dispatches, half the expense
and will be reimbursed through
tolls. This is provided for by
Kentucky bridge legislation enact
ed last winter.
Indiana will furnish her half
out of highway funds and through
Federal aid. Construction will
start as soon as Kentucky APP
proves a written contract to be
submitted by the Indiana COM
mission.
Praise is due the highway Off
Gals and Governors of Kentucky
and Indiana for getting together
on this tremendous job.
1t should have been done four
years ago, but Kentucky at that
time did not have the bridge leg
islation on her statute books that
she has now and was in no posi-
ton to bear her share of the cost.

or the Kentucky commission will
supervise construction. 1t doesn't

Warren 7. McCray, former Gov
ernor of Indiana, whose life
tragedy was interviewer with the
post war deflation of agriculture,
is starting over again in his de-
clining days to make a come
back in the Industry in which he
amassed a 10. tune and lest it.
There is every reason why his
venture again into extensive
agriculture and stock raising
should be a success. In the first
place the very elements that con-
tributed to his undoing will
operate now to promote his sue
cess. Instead of charging his
activities at the peak of boom
prices and facing the irresistible
tide Of receding values, he is
getting back in the game when
land values have reached their
lowest ebb and he will be in a
position to realize for his back
ers on the inevitable unearned
increment in land values, that is
bound to come with the restora-
ton Of agriculture.
He will be in a position to put
into practice the modern day
theories of mass production in
agriculture. He will, of course,
face the eternal hazards of the
farmer who must contend with
the uncertain element Of weather
and growing crops. But he will
have the plant and he is equipped
with the scientific knowledge and
the experience to operate the
plant.
The comeback Of Warren T. Nc
Cray will be much more than the
triumph of an individual over the
most discouraging personal vicis-
STUDIES. It marks a turning point
and forecasts the dawn Of a new
day in agriculture.
1t points the way to others who
have the courage and the vision
to help restore northumberland
in rejuvenating the industry earn
a share in the profits that the new
era in agriculture is bound to
bring.
