BY SCOTT NEARING.

President Coolidge picked out Mem
orial Day to tell the world:
/. That the ruling class of the
United States has an economic stake
in the planet. He spoke of "the
worldwide interests of the United
States" and added: "our investments
and trade relations are such that it
is almost impossible to conceive Of
any conflict anywhere on earth which
would not effect US injuriously."
2. That the ruling class of the
United States proposes to have peace
if they have to fight for it. "One
thing that we want above all else
for ourselves and for other nations
is a continuance of peace. Whether
so intended or not, any nation en-
gaging in war would thereby neces-
sarily be engaged in course preju-
dicial to u.s." The world wide inter-
ests of the United States "makes us
view with peculiar disfavor not only
any danger of being involved in war

PARIS, June 3.--Scores Of italian
workers, who dared to attempt May
Day celebrations in defiance of the
fascist decress, were arrested and
thrown into jails in number of

This young stowaway the Graf Zeppelin has
exhibited daring that many of possess only at
such times as allow ourselves to go daydreamlng
We picture ourselves performing heroic acts achieving
world wide renown, doing something to place our
selves above the ordinary run of mortas.
Every boy at time in his life plans to do
something notorious. Only small percentage ever
actually do it. The majority either ougrow it or
continue to be too scared to make the attempt.
Young Clarence Terhune has knocked about the
country for years. according to reports He has been
victim of the wanderlust, and dared to give it the
expression so many of Us deny. A young tramp or
a hobo if you will, yet he had his ambition and where
ambition exists there always hope of better things
The ambition nothing more than being the
first aerial stowaway on transatlantic flight and he
has made good on it. 1t may be that his experience
this time will help the young to find himself and
inspire him to do something better than roam

PROSPERITY

Pronounce the word "prosperity" in any gathering
these days and you apt to start argument One
man will tell you that the country is very prosperous
and another will reply that it is not prosperous at all
and each will produce figures to support his conten
ton.
There are plenty of indications both ways. Here's
one in favor of the who says prosperous:
The General Motors Corporation during the first
nine months of 1928, earned net profit of close to
S250,000,0O0 - ahead even Of the year 1927, when
its net profits the largest in its history.
That seems to prove that the auto industry, at
least is doing well. And it must something
more. Surely, corporation could not roll up such
an amazing heap of gold unless there a good

STAGING A "COMEBACK"

Action of the California supreme court in uphold
ing the decision of the district court of appeals which
reversed the conviction of former District Attorney
Chester Kempey of San Diego county, is good news 10
many friends of the accused in Imperial county.
With his assistant, c. G. Selleck, kempley was
charged with taking $4,000 bribe to suppress evil
dence in a murder He convicted largely
upon the testimony of a of San Dlegos under
world who at the time serving sentence IN state
prison. and was brought San Diego to testify against
him. The supreme court decision applies also to Sell
leck so that both stand cleared of the charge
made against them.
The decision comes only after careful study by
the court and is distinct victory for kempley and
Selleck. They have protested their innocence from
the start and contended they the victims of pot
ical animosity. The supreme court contention sus-
tains their contention.
Both men have suffered long and severely. They
cheered by the loyalty of small group of friends
who stood by them and refused to believe the accusa-
ton made against them.
Their friends hope that Kempley and Selleck will
take start and win back the places they formerly
occupied in San Diego. Judging from the fight they
have made for vindicaton they fully capable OF
doing So They stand cleared by the highest tribunal
in the state They should forget the unpleasant past
and work only to justify the faith their friends hold
in them.
