Blue Sky Bill on Deck

Gov. Moody submitted the blue sky measure at the
beginning Of the second special session OF the 4lst
legislature. He insists that there is a pressing call
for its enactment by the lawmakers. 1t has the sweep
ing endorsement OF the department Of state.
Lest us forget. the senate passed the proposed law
ct the regular session by a vote of % to s. the house
committee voted it out and in the end. it was never
reached on the calendar. There It died.
Advocates Of the proposed statue assert that it has
been fought by the lobby, that It has been opposed
by sinister interests. that it is for the protection OF the
public and that It is absolutely necessary that it should
be enacted at the earliest date possible.
1t is said to be almost identical with the Pennsyl-
vania blue sky act. which is said to be a model of its
kind for the protection Of unsuspecting investors who
are easily lured into transferring their savings from
their own pockets to the pockets Of blue sky operators
who float fancy stocks and then move on to greener
pastures.

for the protection Of the people. Texas is one Of the

The Once Over
THE DEBT SETTLEMENT
By u. ]. PHILLIPS

Thirty-seven more annual payments and Germany
owns the war. The Debt Pact Farley appears to be
near an end for this season at least and the Germans
will pay S9.OOOOOOOOO on the Owen Young Deferred
Payment Plan.
1t took a lot Of argument, Germany contending
right along that the war she got was a. bigger size
than the one she ordered and that she just couldn-
be expected TO settle for it in accordance with the
price quoted on the tag. The Allies, on the contrary.
insisted that the war was made to Germany's meas
ure and that II was a perfect fit.
To understand just what has been going on, the
reader must have the history Of the offers and coun-
ter offers. First the Allies asked a complete settle-
ment for the war. Germany countered with a pro-
posal that she would pay for the first two years OF
the war. This part Of the war was the only part she
found satisfactory. The third year wasn't much good
and the fourth year was 50 bad she wouldn't nave
taken it even to please a friend
We'll each pay for the half we like said Schacht.
This proposition rejected. the Germans offered to
settle on the following basis:
$1,000 600 600 in cigarette and cigar coupons.
s2.75OOOoOOO in old newspapers. bottles, shoes and
abandoned Ford bodies.
S3.G00O00 In Rhine wine and setter.
The Allies agreed to accept the Rhine wine, but
made the following demands:
.OOO.O00,O0 separations for the losses sustained
by Allied troops at craps and red dog
s2.67S. 100000 to reimburse the Allies for money eX-
pended for taxicabs. dinners. music and flowers.
Mr.. Schacht, jumping onto a table and crying, All
right, sue mel then countered with a proposal that
both sides forgive and forget. on an agreement by Ger
many to keep all pictures Of the ex-kaiser at Doom
out Of the rotogravure sections for the next SO years.
This one clause with regard to the ex-kaiser made
a big hit with the Allies, and for a time they were for
accepting. After an all-night session, however, Mr..
Young, speaking for the Allies. said they had definitely
settled on l8.OOO,O0O,00 and would prefer to take it
in Pisener beer.
With their beer reserves threatened, Germany
came around pretty fast.

INDEPENDENT THINKER

The independence Of thought for which Justice
Holmes long has been noted never was more aptly
illustrated than in the 7O0-word opinion delivered in
the SchWimmer case. In the terse and short paper.
the Justice outlined his conception OF the constitution
al guarantees affecting the rights Of man.
He has made a record by his large number Of dis
senting opinions. And it IS because he has consist
emily followed the policy set forth in the Schnlimmer
opinion that he has long been looked upon as the
champion or the rights and welfare Of the people.
Justice Holmes is the oldest man ever to sit upon
the United States supreme bench. March 8 Of this
year he was SO. In December he will have completed
q years Of active service as justice.
Despite his advanced years he is one Of the most
active members OF the court. He rarely fails to be-
in attendance at sessions and nothing escapes his
attention.
During oral arguments he takes notes constantly.
When a previous decision is referred to by some at
torney he invariably stops him long enough to iot
down the exact citation. He is the only supreme court
justice who keeps a complete personal file Of court
proceedings.
He rarely is seen in public when the days work Is
finished. He remains at home. either working over
some case in his library or enjoying a story Of the
west in old frontier days.
Until the death Of his wife recently she was his in
separable companion. Now that she IS gone he IS con-
tent to live alone.

LOGICALLY a WIT


The son Of DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, it is but
natural that he would inherit some Of the wit Of the
autocrat.
Once a libel suit was being argued. 1t was being
commended that the declaration was insufficient be-
cause the offense was not stated properly. Justice
Holmes amused his colleagues greatly by observing:
That leads me to recall a case in the old books
where an indictment set forth that the accused struck
a man on the head. splitting the skull until a portion
fell down on either shoulder. and the court held the
indictment because It did not allege that the man was
killed"
Court attaches remember another time when a
tobacco case was being argued. and how Justice
Holmes caused confusion and embarrassment to
counsel.
Nobody except fools and dudes smoke imported
declared counsel with emphasis.
I'm not SO sure Of that softly interrupted Jus
tice Holmes. u smoke them sometimes, and am

and joey Greenbcrg, one of the

Grccnberg swung at Roth, and the
referee replied in kind. When the
two were separated, Grccnberg's eye
was backing rapidly.
The consensus of sport writer's
however, was that the Philadelphia
champion won easily with his mas
tcrly boxing and decisive body and
head attack with a stinging left.
Late in the sixth round, Emanuel
caught Loughran off balance and
floorcd him with a left hook. The
champion arose Immediately, how
ever, before a count could be started
The champion finished strong
