Ohio and Senator Willis

When Senator Willis appointed himself Ohio's
favorite son and candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination. he must have had confidence
in the popularity of his choice.
If his judgment to his popularity was correct
then there should be no fear his part that the rank
and file of his party would not support him as against
any other candidate either in out of his State And
he should welcome the candidacy of Secretary Hoover
opportunity to prove the party nationally that
Willis is more popular in Ohio than even such an
outstanding citizen as Herbert Hoover.
Getting down off the high plane of craftsmanship
on which American citizens think their presidential
timber should stand, and induging in a spos fight
or threats of one with local party boss in Cleveland
doesn't up to the standard of craftsmanship
approved by the American people.
The real issue in Ohio is whether the voters Of the
Republican party shall have opportunity to express
their preferences in the matter of presidential can
didates, whether party bosses shall do the think
ing and voting for them-whether party power shall
up from the people or be handed down by the
bosses
If the voters have opportunity to express their
preferences and Senator Willis actually is their favor
tie and candidate then he will get the Ohio dele
cation to the national convention by the free choice
of his constituents. IT, however they prefer Hoover
Lowden, Curtis. Dawes any other Republican their
right to such preference can not be disputed
No party squabbling is necessary, though
probable The Willis Republicans and the Hoover
Republicans will be pulling together after the con-
venton. There is no reason for them getting peeved
while pulling apart
Certainly Senator Willis will gain nothing for him
self by setting himself up political boss and try
ing to ram his sef-selected candidacy down the
threats of Ohio Republicans who exercise their right
to think somebody else would be better candidate
for the party nationally.

farmer shot first, but the evidence showed that the
dry agent was the farmers land when the shoot
ing took place.
One might think, after reading the Bill of Rights,
that long as the agent had search warrant, he
had no right to invade the farmers home his land,
even if he hunting a stil-whch he didn't find.
Instructing the jury the Federal judge said the
dry agent had no search warrant, but there was no
evidence of trespass, and that the farmer had no
right to resist that ground. So the jury found the
dry agent not guilty. Nevertheless the farmer is still
dead and the Bill of Rights is gasping.

Looking for Leader
by BRUCE CATION,

Senator Burton K. Wheeler, the energetic young
man from Montana who drove Harry Daugherty out
of the cabinet, is discouraged about the American
people.
The nation, he believes is helfsh and inert If
Lincoln himself were to appear today, the Senator
declares he could do nothing, because the people
would be too Indifferent to follow him.
1t is hard to blame the Senator for being pessi-
mistic He courageousy made on corruption in
high places and was rewarded by being indicted on
trumped-up charges; was there any great out
cry of popular indignation over the treatment he
received
Yet it is possible to disagree with him.

baseball, criminal trials, airplane flights and new

They may in narrow fields, but in those

and since our politicians so often have failed us we

for giving himself to great leaders There grounded

Children of Habit

One could weep over such Incl
dents with very little encourage
ment, and that is what some people
do. They are children Of habit.
Time was when all people wept
over such incidents-wept, grieved
and got nowhere.
Whatever else may be said of this
age, it wastes little time whining.
Not that it lacks human sympathy,
but that it believes intelligence Of
fers much more effective way of
expressing human sympathy than
tears.
1t is a good bet that several in
ventors already have taken up the
task of devising something to pre-
vent the premature explosion of
aerial bombs.

ALPHABETICAL Breakfasts

The fact that five Republican and nine Demo-
cratic senators attended recent breakfast at the
White House evidently has no political significance,
and doesn't indicate that President Coolidge is 60

World Competition

The United States is entering an
era of keen competition in foreign
trade which is bound to effect her
domestic trade.
It would be little less than a ca

the same thing at the outset.
Those business men who want to
tighten up until we are sure Of our

An Official Killing

If the right to resort to capital punishment is to
be exercised by Federal prohibition officers, that right
should be defined by Federal Jaw that citizens may
know just when and how they shall be subjected
to official and legal murder.
A recent case in Maryland is illuminating. 1t
gives us line what is happening to the Bill of
Rights and supposedly sacred constitutional
liberties gradually are fading out.
Federal dry agent shot and killed a Maryland
farmer. He was tried in Federal Court with Fed
era judge sitting the bench and Federal district
attorney acting attorney for the defense. The
county attorney from the county of the murdered
farmer acted as prosecutor.
You might think that the killer would be tried
in a court of the State where the murder was COM
mitted. But you would think wrong. 1t may seem
queer that murder by Federal official should be
tried in Federal instead of State court but it is
legal matter whether it is right wrong otherwise
That is because the Federal Courts have said
that when Federal agents commit murder they must
be tried in a Federal Court; and what the Federal
Courts say goes.
So when a Federal dry agent killed a Maryland
farmer he enjoyed the special privilege of being tried
in a Federal Court and defended by Fedral dis
trct attorney, who by virtue of his office is officer
and a part of the court
Ordinarily he would act as prosecutor in cases
against the Government like violating the Volstead
act counterfeitng smuggling selling forbidden
cotics, but when agent of the Government kills
citizen it is something different.
Presumably the theory is that his act isn't crime
against the Government, but rather act of the
Government through one of its agents.
Anyhow, this agent acquitted. He killed the
farmer all right enough. That wasn't disputed He
went to the farmers home to search for still re-
ported operating in that vicinity
He went without search warrant IT, farmer

Rigid taboos restrained them in

Jinns or genii that lowered in the

Even the stones of the desert
seemed holy; above all the great
stone called Kaaba, at Mecca, was
surely the embodiment of a god;
and piouS Arabs came from far
places in patient pilgrimage to press
their lips upon this sacred rock.
Long before Mohammed spoke,
Mecca had become the Holy City of
the Arab tribes.
The prophet Mohammed was
born there in $40 A. D., and both
his parents were distinguished.
Abdallah, his father, was the
most beautiful and modest Of the
Arabian youth; and in the first
night, when he conSummated his
marriage with Amina, of the noble
race of Zahrites, two hundred vir-
gins are said to have expired of

Stock Selling Raids

These recurrent selling raids sug-
gest that quite few financiers feel
we have gone about far enough with
boost and initiation, and that even
though there may not be an over
dose of water, the cash reserve is
being whitfield down to a dangerous
point
Though due in some degree to a
perfectly normal reaction. it is not
unreasonable to suspect that con-
siderable of the selling has been
forced by the calling of loans.
Instead of accepting such action
as cause for alarm, the public
should regard it as a sensible meas
ure of precaution.

Sacrifices of Progress

Twenty-Five thousand people were
killed by automobiles in this coun-
try last year.
That is about the same number
poisonous snakes killed in India.
The people of India mourn over
their loss quite as much as we over
ours. But they do not make as
much effort to remedy it.
The difference is that while we
endure sacrifices so long as they
seem to represent progress, the
people Of India are willing to en-
dure them even though they are
worthless and wasteful.
Speaking of automobiles, the an
nouncement of General Motors that
it had just closed the best year in
its history was followed almost i'm
mediately by bearish raid on Wall
Street.
1t is absurd to suppose that these
two incidents had any connection
with each other, which makes the
latter all the more significant.
Evidently quite a few spectators
are in a selling mood, no matter
what the reports of even the
greatest corporations show.

A vast irregular triangle, three
quarters desert and one-eighth
stone, with here and there, on the
western coast near the Red Sea,
cities struggling to maintain them
selves against the sand; towards
the north Aleppo and Damascus;
towards the the south Median,
where Mohammed won his first
warriors, and still farther south
Mecca, center and goal of the Mo-
hammedan world.
Which Of us would think that the
length of this peninsula is almost
fifteen hundred miles, and its great

Ocean-almost a thousand; that all

Arabia Petraea Stony, and this
Arabia Felix-this happy Arabia Of

swift as Arab love.
They clothe themselves, you think,
