Rule Doesn't Work

OUCH incidents make interesting
- reading chiefly because of the
persons, institutions, or activities in
volved.
If it were any other body than the
United States senate, the debate on
secrecy, the sacredness Of rules,
newspaper ethics and. the question
of whether anyone who squealed
ought to be expelled, would seem
ridiculous.
The fact that the rule did not
work suggests that it was no good,
even though it was $50 years old.
There was no reason in the world
why the senate should not vote on
the nomination of former Senator
Lenroot as a customs judge, public
ly and openly,
On the other hand, there was ev-
cry reason why it should.

TINE news groans with trivialities,

of association with some Well-knoWn
person, or important event.
Mrs. Katherine King Fogarty

broke his promise to marry her.
Nine. Tetrazzini, on the other

Knew His Geometry

A S FAR as I know there is moth
IA ing in the code which says that
bee must fly in a straight line,
unless my education was neglected.
Euclid proclaimed that a straight
line is the shortest distance be-
tween two points, and l know bees
are busy. So are columnists. At
the moment I was thinking.
I was working on a joke and roll
ing over might have ruined the
whole idea. But this bee was bull
headed and nothing would suit him
except to fly straight through me.
I hate to be pushed about, what

Br0un and the Bee

I'm ALL for enterprise in bees. If
Il one is willing to meet me nine
tenths of the way, why should I dis
courage the exploring instinct of an
insect? If he had ever gone back to
his own kind, he would have had
tall tales to tell what might have
become best sellers.
But he will not return. The blame
may fairly be divided. hold that it
was a plain case of self defense and
if anybody makes an issue of it,
I'll take my shirt off to show them.
According to tradition, bees are
never guilty of aggression. They'll
say that I frightened him or nagged

Secrecy Has No Place

GECRECY is all right as an alibi
~ for towards, or smoke screen
for crooks.
Otherwise, it has no place in pub
lie business.
People are justified in suspect
ing every secret procedure, except
in time of war, when the essence
of the game is to keep the enemy
in the dark.
More often than not, the motives
of those who act in secret are pic
tured as worse than they really are
Instead Of being encouraged, Or
protected, secrecy should be avoid
ed on every possible occasion.

A BOUT the only defense the
IA senate has for voting in secret,
and about the only excuse some of
it's members have for getting mad
when the secret leaks out, is a rule.
The question of whether a rule
should be obeyed goes back to the
rule itself.
Was it worth making in the first
place; does it serve any good pur-
pose: will normal people observe it
under normal circumstances?
1t not why keep it on the books?

1928 ESTABLISHES
NEW TRADE RECORD
Secretary Writings Review
Of Year Gives Glowing
Picture of Progress.
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary 'W.liting in reviewing the
business history of 1923 believes that
the year had been period of the great.
est production and trade ever recorded
Though some branches Of industry
! failed to participate in the general pros
perity, he said that the condition OF
these industries had shown steady i'm
provement with the passage of time and
| that the year marked continuance OF
the longest period of general business
stability ever witnessed in the United
States"
To sustain his opinion he declared
that manufacturing production had ex-
ceeded the previous high record of 1927
that construction activity of all types
had been at the peak and that the VOL
ume OF business transactions in the re-
tail trade, as disclosed by records of
mail order houses, department stores
and chain business, had been larger
than in any previous year.
The check payments in business
transactions, eliminating New York City.
where speculative stock transactions
reached new high totals. he added, were
per cent greater in 1928 than in 1927.
In regard to agriculture the Secretary
cited prices which, except for grain, he
said, were higher than previous years.
He added that the production of steel
reached almost 100000 tons and that
consumption of electric power likewise
was above all precedent.
Among the industries cited as failing
to attain higher production Secretary
Whiting included the textile group, but
said that some betterment now was in
prospect. He declared that the large
exports OF 1928, with gain especially
marked in shipments abroad of manu-
featured products, as we'll as the new
maximum of savings deposits, all point
ed to the same conclusion.
