Hoover's Farm Relief

Attention of all those who think Hoover
ism t a friend Of the farmer is directed to an
article in the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, out today.
George Barr Baker is the author. The title
is ''The Great Fat Fight"
1t tells how Hoover saved American farm
ers from loss Of hundreds of millions of dol
lars. 1t is striking picture of Hoover in
action. And it deals not with theories of farm
relief but with accomplished and stupendous
facts.
A reading Of it, therefore, especially is rec
commended to all swivel chair agriculturists
whose only contribution to the cause has been
to play politics with farm relief theories.

to be believed, more than half the property of our
nationals in Mexico must have been destroyed lock-
stock and barrel. Which, needless to say was not
the case, since their holdings almost entirely
oil lands Mines railways, agricultural and timber
concessions and public utilities which remain to speak
for themselves.
The trouble is the sky is the limit when it comes
to filing claims against foreign governments Not that
Americans any worse in this respect than the
citizens of any other country. They are not.
To blow $1,000 claim up until it becomes a
100000 one, bigger, universal practice as
tbs history of such cases clearly proves.
Take the Mexican claim commission, for example.
Americans filed LOTT claims for $470126613 yet only
$4125622 allowed At that, be it said to the
credit of the United States, $117O851 Of even that
small subsequently returned to Mexico, when
it was discovered that two of the largest claims
fraudulent
Similarly the Mexican claims against the United
States simmared down from $96661 89115, demanded,
to mere $150499 awarded, or less than two-tenths
of per cent.
Why can't the United States and Mexico agree
upon a lump sum for each, then have their courts
pass upon the claims of their respective citizens? The
Alabama claims were settled in that way and a
prolific source of bitterness between Great Britain
and America was abolished.
basis of settlement might be arrived at by a
study of the average percentage of claims paid in
previous awards. Or lump sum might be decided
upon by special commission appointed by tie two
governments or by arbitration in the Geneva
award covering the Alabama case. But something
should be done to cut short the long -drawn-out
negotiations now in process
Mexico is in urgent need of capital to carry out
her full program. moderate number of millions
spent now on interior improvements, would yield
immense returns in prosperity
A prosperous Mexico with 100000 people living
on higher standard is OF great Importance to the
United States But time is of the essence in her re-
construction and as Americans would benefit in the
long run about as much the Mexicans, every OBJ
stace should be removed from the road without delay

Those Mexican-America Claims

Notwithstanding the improved relations between
the United States and Mexico there still is potent
source of friction which should be removed 1t is the
enormous claims for damages growing out of the
Mexican revolutions of 1910 to 1920, and American
intervention
Americans have filed some 1900 claims against
Mexico for grand total of $7Oo,OO00OO, an amount
approximately equal to the Mexican national debt,
while Mexicans nave filed claims against the United
States totaling $245, 100000.
For years special commissions have been hard
at work trying to get to the bottom of these claims
yet the end is nowhere in sight
Meantime, Mexican credit necessarily is involved,
as it must continue to be long this stupendous,
though entirely theoretical, obligation remains I'M
settled, and many urgently needed reconstruction
projects are being held up for want of cash.

failing the Spirit

In the case of Harry Sinclair that District Of
Columbia Jury doesn't have the last say so.
OF course it was fortunate, or lucky, or something
else for Sinclair that he wasn't found guilty by that
jury-for he doesn't have to go to penitentary But
that isn't the end of it, The Supreme Court has con-
victed him and he is guilty in the opinion OF the
people of the United States.
In some respects it is just as much punishment
to be convicted by popular opinion it is to be con-
victed by a jury and go to jail.
Sinclairs mind is in JAIL even if his body isn't His
spirit is imprisoned, for he knows he has lost the
respect and confidence of his fellow citizens even il
he still is big man among his oily associates and
in horse race circles.
It may be practically impossible to jail million
dollars but it isn't impossible to convict guilty mil
onare in the minds of the American public.
Sinclair's prison term for his fat body might have
been few years, but the term of the imprisonment
of his spirit will last as long as he lives.

Drunkenness of Power

If the Chinese Nationalist could
hold up their end of it, this would
be war. The one hope of avoiding
a real conflict consists in the fact
that they have beaten themselves
at the very outset by starting more
than they could finish.
They have not only brought ia
pan into the fray. but have turned
millions Of their own people against
them by such a course of folly as
is plain on is face.
Though successful during the last
few months, they still had enough
on their hands to overcome the
Pekin government.
One wonders what made them so
drunk with power that they should
have provoked Japan to enter the
lists against them at such a critical
moment.
Now they have no alternative but
to knuckle under, or take the beat
ing Of their lives, with consequences
that may effect the destiny of their
country for the next 100 years.
If it was liberty they sought, they
certainly chose a peculiar method.

In 1878 great red spot 10000 miles long and 5000
miles wide, appeared upon the planet. This was be-
lieved to confirm the view that the surface OF the
planet was Still in molten condition.
But recent measurements made with the thermo-
couple the electrical thermometer used in taking the
temperature of the planets indicate temperature Of
200 degrees below Zero Fahrenheit. These measure
ments were made at the Lowell Observatory Flagstaff,
Arz. by Doctors Coblentz and Lampland.
The only conclusion to be drawn from these mea-
surements is that the planet is very cold
But third view is possible The calculated density
of the planet is very small and this would lead us to
believe that the planet was in a molten condition.
1t may be that the planet is much smaller than
we think and has molten surface If this sur

How did prohibition become a

Wilson veto the Volstead bill?
Nationwide prohibition as a fun

three-fourths of the States. Presi-

Congress passed it over his veto.

In 1855 there we're twenty seven

there we're probably about 1880
millionaires in the United States.
This number increased to about
5000 in 1915, to about 10000 in
1916, to about 1890 in 1917, the
maximum number of American mil

What It Means

The Ku-kluX Klan and the Antl-SalOOn
League are still in undisputed ownership of
the Republican party in Indiana.
That is the real meaning of the primary
results as shown by study Of the vote in the
different sections of the State.
There is nothing in the vote in the agri-
cultural counties to indicate that the farmer
was in rebellion against Herbert Hoover or
that his nomination would spell defeat in No
vember.
There is nothing in the vote in cities to in
dictate that he is the choice of the industrial
workers.
The vote east for Watson was the same
vote that the machine has always had for
years, or since that unholy combination of
bootIegger and dry leaders, the machine
Catholic and the Khan, of the preacher and the
ballot box suffer took charge of the Republican
party.
The contest was not, apparently, between
Hoover and Watson or between Hoover and
all other Republicans. 1t was a coming to
grips of an unorganized revolt against cor
ruption and the forces which had corrupted
Indiana-and corruption won.
The Hoover candidacy, unhappily, did not
identify itself strongly enough with the clean
up crusade to make the issue clear and distinct.
That candidacy also was badly handicapped
by the fact that it had fastened to it the sup
port of former Governor Goodrich, whose
presence in the campaign did not tend to lend
any confidence in the claims of the Hoover
managers that they really stood for q new
deal in Indiana. There are too many Repub-
LEANS who, very justly, have no interest IN
transferring power from the Watson machine
TO a Goodrich machine and who could hardly
be expected to become enthusiastic over such
a prospect.
AS far as the presidential delegates are
concerned, the Republicans Of the State have
given blank check to Senator Watson, good
for the thirty three votes, and told him to cash
it at Kansas City as he pleases.
Not even Watson could expect to be a
serious contender for the nomination There are
things that are beyond imagination and the
spectacle of Watson in the White House is
too grotesque for even his most loyal support
ters to conjecture.
The chief interest Of the forces that sup
ported Watson from herein will be to see that
he keeps his bargains. He has no easy task,
with so many promises out.
The real meaning of the primary is to be
found in the majority of Senator Robinson and
the nomination of Ralph Updike in this city
for Congress.
That shows the source Of power in the
party. 1t means that the Anti-Saloon League
and the Ku-I lux Khan, working together as al
ways since the days of Stephensonism, have
conquered again and that they continue to rule
the party Of Lincoln
The nomination for governorship, under
these conditions, in a convention is not an
honor which selfrespecting men can seek I'M
less they announce in advance that they will
not indorse the Robinson and Updike candi
daces
The convention of Republicans, if it is truly
representative of the voters who cast their bal
lots in the primary, will make the pardon Of
Stephenson the party pledge and platform.

Need Democratic Rule

From a local standpoint, Indiana
leaves less room for doubt.
What the State needs is a Demo-
cratic administration, not because
Indiana Democrats are spiritually
superior to their Republican breth-
rem, but because housekeeping is
called for, and new broom sweeps
clean.
The Republican party of Indiana
has shown itself unable, or unwill-
ing to throw off the yoke of a Khan
ridden machine. To argue whether
it is proud, or scared Of tar bucket
rule, were a waste of time. The
thing to do is turn it out and give
it chance to contemplate its mis-
conduct in the atmosphere of calm
and complete retirement.

Khan and Corruption

Indiana and Alabama appear to
be the last two States content with
FELLOWSHIP politics. One turns down
Hoover; the other turns down
Smith. Both gentlemen are to be
congratulated on the kind of antag-
onism they have aroused.
An American leader could be paid
no higher compliment today than TO
have the Ku-KluX Khan and the
crookedness which appears to form
an unacceptable part Of its political
adventuring against him.
Not that the Ku-KluX Khan is
responsible for all the crookedness
and corruption from which we suf-
fer, but that they seem to seek 1t
as naturally as ducks seek water.
