The Notary Grab

In this city The Times has given, during the
last week, free notary service to more than
5000 men and women who are forced to obtain
license to drive automobiles.
The official agency for the secretary of
state in this city has issued statement saying
that the notary business, as far as it is con-
cerned, has been rather bad, inasmuch as it col
lected quarters from only few hundreds.
The truth is that The Times, protesting
against the provisions Of the law under which
there was an apparent design to use the notary
fee to build political machine has defeated
any such purpose in Marion county
For not only has The Times given such
service but other institutions, including great
department store and an automobile agency,
joined in this movement to save the people I'M
necessary expense.
Outside the city and one or two others
where other newspapers have joined in the
movement, the notary grab is in full swing.
Protests come 70 The Times from hundreds
of citizens in small towns asking for some way
TO avoid this involuntary tribute to the polit-
zeal agencies which have been established to
replace public officials in the distribution Of
licenses
The outstanding fact remains that in all
counties in which the two automobile clubs do
not operate the designated agencies are in the
hands of politicians whose friendliness is in
creased by their special privilege to issue
licenses.
The law, on its face, was designed to make
it as difficult as possible to obtain license
except by paying notary fee to the desig-
mated agencies.
1t was evidently written to make it as easy
as possible for any person with quarter for a
license and quarter for the privileged notaries
to obtain license
One provision alone is proof that such was
the purpose. If the license is presented in per-
son the certificate of notary is sufficient If
sent by mail or through any other person the
Endorsement of freebooter is necessary.
That provision is, of course, arbitrary and
petty tyranny for no other purpose than to
force the collection of notary fees in these
agencies.
The law provides severe penalties for mis-
use of a notary seal. 1t is felony to make a
false certifcaton. 1t is perjury on the part of
any person to make false affidavit. Yet in
this one instance the law discredits every
notary in the state and demands additional for
malites, annoying ones, except when these
special notaries are patronized.
The Times will continue to give free notary
service. It hopes that all notaries in the state
will demand application blanks and give their
neighbors this service.
biles as to cause revolt. That extra quarter for
favored friends is beyond reason and endur-
ance.
If you have a neighbor who does not read
The Times tell him that he is welcome to come
to this Office and secure the service.

Mr.. Lowman's Attack on the Newspapers

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Low
man, in charge of prohibition enforcement, has
made two significant assertions in connection
with the killing of Henry Virkkula near Inter
national Falls, MINI, by Customs Patrolman
Emmett j. White
Reports made to him. Lowman said in
formal statement, indicate that White has "a
perfect defense" and that newspaper ac-
counts of the affair have been highly colored,
to put it mildly"
The nature of White S defense, no doubt, will
appear when the preliminary hearing is held.
Lowmans department apparently.is seeking to
delay this hearing as long as possible. In the
meantime, the only defense that is suggested is
that he was too young and inexperienced to be
trusted with shotgun
As to the charge that newspaper accounts
of the affair have been highly colored, the best
answer to this, likewise will have to come from
the sworn testimony at the official hearings.
Pending the official hearings, however. the
Scripps-Howard newspapers have made their
own check on the accuracy of the news ac-
counts that have appeared in most American
newspapers Following Lowman's assertion.
the editor of the St Paul News mot Seripps-
Howard newspaper was asked TO send care
full, responsible investigator to international
Falls to examine into the accuracy of the news
being sent from that city.
The ST. paul editor selected his own city
editor for the task The latters first report
appears on Page of The Times today.
We commend it TO the attention of every
reader.

Nations Pay Debts

TLEVEN nations pay the United
T. States $8O,OO0,OOO as the semi
annual installment on their war
debts, with England putting up Ave
sixths Of the money.
The performance will be repeated
twice a year for the next siXty-tWo
years, if agreements that have been
signed are kept.
The debts were contracted In
about as many weeks. That shows
how much easier it is to borrow than
to pay, also how much war leaves
behind, even after peace has been
made.

Never Been Barred

EV VEN yet there are a vast number
L of crannies in Jne Coolidge
brain which have never -een barred
to the public. Never, to the best OF
my knowledge, has he expressed an
opinion on the acting OF John Gil
bert. the beer in Holboken, or the
Whalen traffic rules.
It seems to me that Calvin
Coolidge is almost ideally equipped
to be a New York columnist. He has
a boy. a dog and fishing rod, and
that alone should be enough to sup
plv him with material for the first
few months.
And of course there always is the
chance Of picking up few contrib
utors. Mr.. Coolidge might be able
to get Mr.. Mellon to write him a
letter. But if I may be so bold as
advise I would suggest to Coolidge,
the columnist. that he refrain for
the most part from politics
He will find that a piece on his
favorite kind Of pie will create more
comment than his views upon the
tariff.
Nor would 1t be wise for Calvin
Coolidge to set up as a paragrapher.
He will find that this line is already
being handled by experts. The short
essay which begins at the top and
stops somewhere down toward the
bottom is a far easier task.
Above all things, be personal, Mr..
Coolidge. You will get letters with
some one Of your column inclosed
and all as" ringed round in red or
blue, but don't pay any attention to
them.

face Of notes inquiring, DO they
really pay you money for writing

Youth Shows the Way

XXTHETHER it is by foot, or
w horseback, or in the cockpit
of an airplane, youth is out to win,
to be first, to show the way.
Ninety per cent Of its effort is
wasted, but that is true of 90 per
cent Of all effort.
Invention finds its background in
a sea Of crazy notions, and but for
idle curiosity there would be few
discoveries
Speed is not desirable for it's own
sake, yet who would slow up when
there is a chance to go west. Not
youth assuredly.
The fact that some chap can drive
an automobile 500 miles in five
hours means little, but the nerve it
symbolizes means everything.

BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
June II


June II
I'm July II, IT'S, the first severe
~ battle of the American Revolu-
ton was fought on Breeds Hill and
Bunker Hill. CharlestoWn, Mass,
between about 5000 British troops
under General Howe and about l 800
Americans under Colonel William
Prescott.
The night Of the sixteenth Pres
colt was sent to fortify Bunker Hill,
the possession Of which would COM
pei evacuation Of Boston by the
British; but he threw up an earth
work on Breeds hill instead, and
there awaited the British attack.
At 8 a. m, June H. the British
charged up the hill, but we're driven
back with great loss. A second
charge also was repulsed. When the
British advanced again at 4;30,
however, the Americans powder was
spent and Prescott's men we're dis
lodged and forced from the field.
The British losses in killed, MISS
ing and wounded were 1854, includ-
ing ninety-fve officers. The Amer
lean toll was 450. General Warren
was among those killed on the
American side.
Set on fire by British shells dur
ing the engagement, Charlestown
was burned to the ground Despite
the fact that Howe obtained a.
strategic point which enabled him
to retain his hold on Boston, the
battle was considered morally vic
tory for the Americans, in that it
q demonstrated their fighting capacity
and greatly increased the spirit Of
resistance throughout the country.

DORTLAND, Me. June Tits
L the same old story with regard
to Ray Keech.
Sooner or later, there is a hole in
the track, a bad steering knuckle,
or blowout
But the lure of the game is too
much TO resist.
Ten years ago Ray Keech was
a truck driver. That was too slow.
Besides, it held little promise OF
fame or fortune.
If he had realized what the end
would be, or how soon it would
come, the chances are he would have
stayed with his truck.
He did not realize it. Youth never
does. Youth sees only tibet bright
side of the picture, in which lies its
strength, its glory and its usefulness.

TINE estimates of the biologists
to the effect that mankind has
been in this world some hundred
thousands of years have always
seemed to the public somewhat hu-
morous.
Those who are fundamentaliSts
insist that the biblical account
records the actual status of affairs.
Of course, there is good evidence
to the effect that man as We now
know him has been in the world
many thousands of years beyond
the biblical accounts and that the
evidence regarding prehistoric man
fully justifies the claims Of the an

AboIiShing the Sabbath

ID USSIAN mills and manufac-
IN turers will run $50 days year,
if a recently launched plan is car
ried out.
Workers, however, will remain on
the job only five and half days
out of seven.
The significance Of such a step
is that it obliterates the Christian
Sabbath.
Some of the workers will take
their rest Saturday afternoon and
Sunday, but just as many will take
it Sunday afternoon and Monday,
Monday afternoon and Tuesday, and
so on throughout the week.
You can obliterate the Sabbath,
but you can not obliterate the rest
period.
Clear Congress Weather
ONE week ago we were in some
~ doubt as to whether the farm
bill would be passed this summer.
The senate was standing firm for
"debentures" and the house was
standing firm in its refusal to vote
on "debenture, while President
Hoover threatened to veto the bill
unless "debentures" were elini-
mated,
Even the wisest of prophets could
not tell whether congress was
headed for a flibuster, or adjourn
nent because of a hopeless dead
lock.
Now the weather is clear again.
The most amazing thing about
politics is the difference between
what may happen. what can hap
pen and what does happen.

VOTE0NPARK
site IS ASKED
Harlingen Commission Ask
ed To Recall Arroyo Site
Buy In Petitions
(Special to The Herald)

HARLINGEN, March 27.-Har-
Ingen's park row took a new turn
Wednesday when opponents OF the
Arroyo Country club site purchase
began circulating petitions calling
on the city commission to reScind
it's recent action in contracting to
buy the site and urging that the
proposition be submitted to a vote
of the people.
The Harlingen charter provides
that a referendum may be in
voked upon petition of % per cent
of the voters of the city, according
to j. C.. Myrick, Harlingen attor-
ney, one of the leaders opposing the
Arroyo park purchase.
The petition is expected to be
presented to the city commission
Wednesday night, the date for the
regular meeting Of that body. Be-
tween $50 and 500 signatures are
expected to be attached to the petit
tion, Myrick said. Petitions were
being circulated in all parts OF the
city Wednesday.
Regardless Of what action may
be taken in connection with the in
junction proceedings now pending
in civil district court, we propose to
bring this matter to VOTE My
rick said, in stating that the petit
tionS were being circulated for the
dual purpose of recommending that
the city commission rescind its ac-
ton and also to invoke the referen-
dunn clause Of the city charter.
In the event the city commission
rescinds it's action the Injunction
suit, which is set for Thursday
morning before Judge A. M. Kent
in Brownsville, probably will be dis
missed, as was former injunc-
tion when the city commission re-
scinded its original action in con-
nection with the park site pur-
chase.
Carter and Stiernberg, who have
frequently handled legal matter
for the city, today denied that any
agreement had been made by the
city commission to submit the park
proposal to a referendum vote VI
that they had agreed not to pur
chase the Arroyo park at the tim
they rescinded their original &C
ton.
According to reports here $80,00
in warrants have been issued TO
the purchase Of the Arroyo Coun
try club property and have beer
turned over to Lloyd H. Thompson
trustee for the owners.
