elections. OF this Brig. Gen. Frank r. Mccoy
U. S. A.. is chairman. And though two Nicaraguans
also are on the board, General Mccoy can and in
emergency WILL take whatever action he deems
necessary.
Backing up General Mccoy are some 5000 Amer
lean marines. They will preserve order throughout
the republic and at the polls. For the time being
therefore, and for the purposes of the elections an
American general is absolute dictator in Nicaragua
An immense issue is at stake, for us even more
than for Nicaragua. For Nicaragua, the result will
merely be new president and handful of other
national officials who at most, good bad, soon
will out Of office For our prestige for years
to is in the balance, not only in Nicaragua, but
throughout Latin America and the world.
We here at home, are apt to forget the Sunday
election in the excitement over our own show but the
rest of the world will not forget Foreigners already
have discounted what will happen here in the United
States, but they waiting to what will happen
in Nicaragua.
Specifically they are wondering whether we will
pull the wires down there and maneuver favorite
of our own into the presidency, or play fair. They
are distinctly from Missouri.
Unfortunately, we already suspects Our dplo-
matte plumbers of 1926-27; scheming to make the
conservative, Adolfo Diaz, president of Nicaragua:
armed intervention to bolster up Diaz and ham,
string the liberal revolution the object of which
to place a constitutional president in power-an
these things leave record far from clear. Our
promise to give Nicaragua fair and square election
helped little, but everything depends upon
whether we make good that promise
And make good must.
Gen. Jose Maria Oncada, formerly commander
n-chief of the revolutionists who laid down their
upon promise Of an honest election, is the
liberal candidate for the presidency Adolfo Benar,
wealthy sugar planter is the conservative candidate
To insure the best man winning is a ticklish job.

BEST Laid Plans

Fate still plays pranks not only
with our emotions, but with our best
laid plans. In spite Of all our rules,
systems and efficiency devices, we
cannot seem to elude the element
Of chance.
Clarence Terhune becomes a hero,
without intending it, much less
scheming for it. BY the same to-
ken. william r. Hammill loses his
chance to make a perfect score in
the last five minutes of a forty-year
record.
Officials OF the Reading Company
we're waiting at the table to give
Hammill banquet in celebration
of his retirement. For fifty-one
years he had been an employe of
the company. For forty years he
had driven an engine without an
accident.
Wednesday evening found the
Boardwalk Filler, the Reading Com
pany's crack train, pulling into
Camden with Hammill at the throt-
tie. 1t was his last run. There we're
only five minutes left. Suddenly an
automobile appeared in front of the
train at grade crossing. Hammill
cut the steam, and threw on the air,
but it was too late. One man was
killed and his woman companion
taken to the hospital.
The banquet was held as though
nothing had happened but it was
not the banquet it would have been
had the accident not happened, and
that, too, though Hammill may not
have been in the least to blame.

TINE Graf Zeppelin lands at
l. Friedrichshafen after an
epoch making performance, but
Clarence Terhune runs away with
the show.
This 19-year- old chap who did
not even know where he was going
when he crashed the gate. and
probably did not care, not only re-
ceives a tremendous ovation. but is
offered thirty jobs.
The chances are that he will get
more publicity and make more
money than any member of the
Graf Zeppelin crew.
Hundreds of perfectly good actors
look in vain for work, but Clarence,
who knows little about it and who
has little to offer by way of enter
tainment, can become a headliner
if he says the word.
Hundreds of perfectly good news
paper men also look in vain for
work, but Clarence can get more
for letting some one else write his
experience than many of them
would demand rs years salary.
1t is an even bet that Jimmy
Walker will accord him an official
welcome when he returns to this
country.
The question is, whether Clar-
ence has helped the crowd by CIV
ing it thrill, or whether the crowd
will spoil him by the silly way in
which it is acting.

Another Revolution

The United Press reports that
Professor william Smith of Detroit
university has perfected a process
for producing steel in a low tenn
perature oven.
Experts not only have predicted
such an invention, but believe it
will revolutionize the steel industry.
The necessity for high tempera-
lures has made coke and coal indis-
pensable to steel.
The low temperature process
makes many other fuels, such as
wood, shavings, coffee peat, the
refuse from sugar mills and oil
available. For this reason, it indus
trial effect is over Swallowed by its
economic possibilities.
A vast amount of the worlds
known steel supply has had to be
disregarded for lack of fuel. Brazil,
which contains at least one-fourth
of it, but which possesses little
coal, is an example in point.
With the possibility of producing
steel by means of other fuels which
Brazil possesses in abundance, she
not only can enter the market, but
as a dangerous competitor.
Just another illustration of how
human ingenuity can spoil what we
regard as a monopoly.

Arousing Hates

If there were no other reason for defeating Harry
Leslie electing Frank Daley to the governorship
it would be found in the dsrerutabe and disgraceful
campaign tactics of the gang leaders who have taken
over his candidacy
There question Of the desperate effort to elect
Leslie by arousing hates and prejudices
In communities where there has been widespread
opposition to Smith, the whsperers declare that Daley
should be defeated because of his support of Al Smith
In sections where there is a strong trend toward
Smith, and his admirers are most enthusiastic, the
charge is made that Daley refused to Smith on
his twenty minute visit to this city and that he is
trying secretly to defeat him.
This effort to inject hates and prejudices into the
campaign is in keeping with the Of the Leslie
nomination The old poison squads" working
inconceivabe that the people of the state after
the revelations of the past two years. will again permit
themselves to be misled by the forces that backed
Stephenson and gave the state Jackson
Those who arouse hatreds in political campaign
have much to answer for in the future
The plain truth is that the Republican party prom
ised cleanup in the state and then nominated
candidate who had helped to suppress investigation of
the crookedness and crimes exposed by The Times.
The hackers of Leslie came into power with Ste
phenson they understand the Stephenson methods
and the Stephenson morals and pursuing the
old tactics.
The citizen who permits his vote to be gained
on the plea that the state election has any connection
with national matters is most unwise. 1t is merely
a question of whether you wish to redeem Indiana
from the selfish sinister forces which have dis
graced it.

from East.
If East discards his last club,

the four of spades. If East has held
two spades and a club, or any COM
bination except three spades, South
discards his last club.
On winning the diamond trick,
West is forced to lead a spade up to
South's major tenace. If East has
held three spades, South now takes
two tricks with the ace and the jack

If East has held any other three

Defeat of Monopoly

The British thought they had a
monopoly on rubber. When they
tried to work it, they found they
didn't. They should have realized
this to begin with, should have re-
collected that all the rubber they
possessed came from transplanted
trees and that what they did forty
or fifty years ago other people can
do.
Britain abandons her attempt to
control the rubber market, not
through any sense of fair play, but
because she was compelled to do so.
All it accomplished was to develop
Dutch trade on the one hand and
drive American tire manufacturers
to establish plantations of their own
on the other.
That is how attempts to establish
monopoly usually work. Nothing
stimulates our inventiveness like the
feeling that some one is trying to
put us in a tight place.
