Dark FraiIitieS Of Man

The hanging of young Hickman
brings to climax one of those
tragedies which are peculiarly sad
because they prove how much Gus
sedness can be crammed into the
first twenty years Of human life.
The ordinary mind is staggered not
so much at the crime or its con-
sequences, but at the idea OF mere
boy playing the central part.
Obviously 1t does not take as long
for man to perfect himself in dew
ilishness as in citizenship. Hick-
man not only committed pecu-
liarly revolving crime, but with a
cleVerness which bespoke high
degree of intelligence. Worse still,
he was we'll aware of that clever
ness, calling himself The Fox" and
defying the authorities to catch him.
No doubt, he thought himself
smart and gloried in the headlines
with which his misdeeds were deco
rated for a brief, uneasy hour; no
doubt, he snereed at the fate Of
other criminals as meaningless be-
cause of his own superiol talents,
and no doubt, others will do likewise
in spite of his humiliating end,
That is the most discouraging aspect
of it all.

Oil and More Oil

Secretary West has ordered an in
vestigation Of all oil contracts made
by former Secretary Fall. 1t is high
time that something of the sort
we're done, for the last six years
Washington could hardly make a
move without humping into one of
those contracts.
It is said that thus far only one
more contract containing such an
option of renewal as caused Attorney
General Sargent to make this rul-
ing with regard to Salt Creek field
has been discovered. That is held
by the Lewiston Oil e. Refining
Company, and covers the Cat Creek
field from which somewhat more
than 1000 barrels a day are being
taken at the rate of $1.73 a bar
rel.
Reports from Washington imply
that other contracts may be in aXist-
ence, which is what laymen find
so hard to understand.
Considering the important part
oil has come to play in national
politics it is little less than astound-
ing that the interior department
does not know exactly what con-
tracts have been made and what
are in force.

the Dawes plan, which started the old world on the
road to recovery, and we should do what we can now
to complete the job.
To remain aloof would be stupid. Not that we
should forthwith cancel the war debts Far from it.
They are honest debts and should be paid, insofar
the allies are able to do so.
To the contrary, We should adopt the English po-
stion and announce readiness to do everything
in power to make just settlement possible. Pro-
vided, however, that additional burden be placed
upon the backs of the American taxpayer The slogan
is just as fair for us as it is for Europe.
Let us make it perfectly clear automatically, but
categorically, that while did not start the war
we have spent billions result of it, in addition
to the lives cost U.S. and that we are ready to make
mutual concessions to lquidate the burdens it left
behind. But no call to foot the whole bill,
call us Shylock what they will
If our cooperation is needed, we should give it,
1t would be worse than folly to refuse It, And we
will not refuse it, If diplomacy is hallway alive
to the situation.

Don't Be Dumb

That the United States sooner or later VIII par
ticipate in new agreement on reparations and war
debts. now brewing, there is little doubt.
Nor is there any reason why it should hold aloo1'
Technically correct though washington OFFICIALS
doubtless are in their contention that we have moth
ING whatever to do with reparatons the fact remains
that no nation on earth is actually more v1tay IN
terested than America.
All our war debts settlements with the allied ma
tons are based capacity to pay and capacity TO
nav largely depends upon how much Germany pays
the allies.
At this moment S. Parker Gilbert American agent
general for reparations, is making the rounds OF
London, Paris and Berlin, preparing the way for an
early, definite and final solution of this problem
From London it is intmated that new interna-
tional committee of experts likely will be formed to
draw up plan. That is to say, where the Dawes
committee of experts left off, new but similar, COM
mittee will take up and try to finish.
Germany complains that under the most ele-
mentary rules of justice she can not be expected TO
go on forever paying the maximum annuities called
for under the Dawes plan. She 1nsists-and GILBERT
heartily backs up the contention-that the total
amount of her indebtedness to the allies should be
fixed.
Moreover the allies appear quite willing to meet
Germany half way. Preparations and war debts, they
agree act as a blgnC, preventing European recovery
Only, they add they bound by the United States
to pay quarter billion year for the next So years
and so unless and until their creditor will agree to
some kind OF modification of terms, their hands will
be tied.
England takes the position that any new repara-
lions arrangement which will not add to the burden
of her taxpayers will be agreeable to her. She says
she is only too eager to do what she cam but If the
United States will insist on being paid for the next
81 years, others will have to pay her.
She can not ask her taxpayers to shoulder the
burden. Which slogan, having just and unctuous
ring, the other allies are more and more coming to
adapt to their
Therefore it may be said here and now that II
the United States refuses to participate in way
in the proposed modification of the Dawes plsn we
may as well prepare for the inevitable right now.
Uncle Sam once will be pilloried as Shylock,
demanding his pound of flesh from already bleed
ing world.

Marriage Here to STAY

DR.. Joseph Collins says that old
fashioned marriage is here to stay
in spite of the growth of divorce. and
that there is no apparent need for
lecturers to tour the country with
substitutes and panaceas that have
not been tried. We had free love in
the jungle and companionate mar
rage in the emergence Of civiliZa-
ton. Polygamy, polyandry and
every conceivable form of social and
sex relations have been practiced.
In their hunt for some better way,
men have impoverished the realm Of
experiment and experience. This is
one field in which there is no room
for originality.
What we call old-fashioned mar
riage was adopted after about every
thing else had failed. 1t is not per-
feet for the same reason that no
human contract or relationship is
perfect. If husbands and wives can
not get along together in all cases,
neither can mothers and daughters
or fathers and sons, not to mention
business, political and religious as
sociates. You can find trouble
wherever you look, if you want to,
but that does not prove that the
institution where trouble occurs is
wrong or ought to be abandoned.

Smith on DR.. Work

Governor Smith made one of the most effective
speeches of his campaign last night He was fighting
on his own ground, not hounderng about in the tariff
nor attempting to recover from his costly slip on the
immigration question.
With the quick political perception that has char
acterzed his career he sensed the significance of the
newest oil revelation. He senses that the American
people are not tired of hearing about OIL as Repub-
lican Chairman Work stupidity said They are tired
and sick of government failures to protect their in
terestS.
The people of the United States are unwilling to
connect Herbert Hoover with any of the oil scandals
in any way His record is perfectly clean His
campaign manager, however in the last few days
has been connected directly with these scandals-not
by the Democratic campaigners, but by the United
States department of justice.
Smith has seized on this. and he is justified in
doing So In his Chicago speech he made much of the
phrase, which he quoted from the Republican plat
FORM that the record of the last four years is the
guarantee of the next four years.
Hoover owes it to himself and to the people who
place reliance in him, to get rid of DR.. Work That
would be real guarantee concerning the next four
years.

Editor Times-When one reads
the following, one among hundreds
of similar import, the old question
What Is Religion?" naturally sug-
gests itself. THE plain duty OF
all Presbyterian church members is
to work for the election of Hoover, y
declared the Rev. DR., H. H. Walker
moderator of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church, in
recent message to almost two mil
lion members of that denomination.
If religion could be defined accu-
rately. it would eliminate those
historical disputes that have di-
vided nations, races, communities
and families in hostile warning
groups farther back than written
records go. It's purely speculative
character probably eludes defini-
tons and about all a mere layman
can gather is that 1t bears no rela-
ton to human conduct either good
or bad.

synonym for goodness; has nothing
to do with courage, honesty, truth
fitness and brotherly love. These
purely secular virtues man has
acquired in the school Of trial and
error and he knows that human
welfare can not be attained without
them. And what is more, sensible
people can debate concerning the
practical application of them with
out arousing any withdrawing in
stinct, but once let them divide on

Religion may be the only means
of gaining Paradise, but it has not
the least semblance of unity that
can be capitalized for human uses
here below.
Our fathers knew the divisive
nature of religion. They recalled
the cruelties, at pagan hands, Of
early Christians; the unspeakable
savagery that had driven the Jews

Having lost millions of dollars by
forbidding gambling, Paris thinks OF
licensing the card sharks again.
It would be more moral to license
highwaymen, for they represent a
much higher form of robbery.
We rise to dizzy heights of
righteousness when an evil hits our
pocketbooks and so Chicago has de-
cided that she must stop racketeer-
ing, because ten years more of it
would cost the city $l00,000,000, in

1T is unfair to subject any Gov

peals in behalf of condemned crimi-
nails, as the Governor of California
listened to from Hickman's father
1t is also illogical and subversi' .

to upset the result of the long,
tedious ordeal through which judges,
jjuries, lawyers and witnesses must
pass in trial and conviction lr this

The protection of the people. as

They also knew that in one coun-
try of Europe tor three consecutive
centuries an average of one thou
sand a month had been executed,
exiled, or imprisoned in the holy
name of religion. They further
knew of the fate of Seryetus at the
hands of the founder of DR.. Walk
er's religion. All these savage bar
barities were legal because OF the
sanctions of religion fanaticism.
Is it any wonder that our fathers
attempted to establish a purely
secular state that should be forever
free from the arrogance of eccles-
iastics? The noble ideals of the
fathers would be ignored entirely
if emotional publicity seeking evan
gelists and political preachers had

The appeal of Dr., Walker is an
insult to the memory of the fathers
as we'll as to Presbyterians who
are too intelligent to be guided in
their civic rights by the dust
covered dogmas of Calvin. 1t is a
safe bet that they will resent the
un-American attempt of the Walk
ers and Stratons to bootleg religion
into politics.
The Hon. Alfred f. Smith never
has evaded, lodged, nor straddled
He is as tolerant as Washington,
loyal as jefferson, decisive as Jack
son, honest as Lincoln, courageous
as Cleveland and resourceful as
Teddy, and because his brand of
religion differs microscopically from
275 other brands of theological
nonsense, the base SANDER is put
forward that in his official acts, he
would be guided by the dictates OF
foreign potentate.
If religion can not be defined, ii
surely can be reconciled with rea-
