Editorial Comment
We Begin to Scrap-W arships
(MinneapOliS .IOllrnaD

That the United States meant what it said about naval
armament limitation at the London conference, the world
may learn today from its decision to scrap three battle
ships a year before the date provided for in the treaty.
mus does washington show it's confidence in world
peace, IN respect to this country's security. Thus, too
the Hoover administration gives to Japan-which has not
yet ratified the London treaty-evidence of good faith
by scrapping the allotted battleships eighteen months
before Japan is required to retire its battle cruiser, whose
REIMBURSEMENT was for a time a minor obstacle to the
conclusion OF the treaty negotiations at London.
moreover, the United States thus beats Great Britain
to her promised scrapping of five ships within thirty
months OF the effectiveness of the London pact.
These steps toward reduced war fleets are part and
parcel of the American sponsorship of armament limita-
ton. the world over. The decision to scrap now instead
OF later, will mean a saving of about four million dollars
a year to the American taxpayers. That same taxpayer
may retort that he will lose the four million and more
as soon as Uncle Sam begins building his navy up to
treaty strength. That is true. But he will be working
toward definite strengths among the worlds navies for
the first time, and he will be free from the burden of a
race to build ahead of other nations.
over the next six years Uncle Sam will be getting his
navy In shape to tell the world that he is prepared ia
meet all corners on the seaS-With guns if need be
though that is not part of his philosophy, or with an
agreement to scrap ship for ship on a basis of parity
and ratios.
And that will be the first time in history that Uncle
sam Will have been in such a position.

Publicity and Crime
Duluth Herald)

Some people think that the newspapers ought not to
print crlme news. Altogether aside from the question
OF taste, which is largely for the reader to consider for
himself. the fact is that publishing crime news is as
much the public duty Of a newspaper as any other field
of news.
Ihat does not mean that a newspaper needs to relish
tnls type OF news or to handle it in a sensational man.
ner merely because 1t Is crime. 1t does mean that proper
publicity is one of the most powerful deterrents to crime,
ana often 1t is one of the strongest agencies in the detec-
ton of criminals.
The recent case of three young robbers is in point.
They robbed a Duluth citizen, and it got printed. They
robbed another, and that got printed.
Then. after one of them had accidentally shot an
other In the leg, two of them were arrested in a Duluth
hotel and their career of crime was stopped.
But If there had, been no publicity, those who told
the police that these guests with the queer working hours
were IN the hotel wouldn't have known that robbers were
at work. and they would not have been caught.
Moreover. publicity of the fact that thieves are at
work puts househOlders and others on their guard.
Whatever may be said of the taste that Graves crime
news. or of the newspapers rarer institution than
many think-that spccial!--5 In crime news because it
Is sensational, the newspaper that suppresSes the news
OF crime isn't doing its duty to the public.

Paying for the War

A few years ago you heard quite a lot of talk about can
ceiling the war debts owed Uncle Sam. but they weren't
Cancelled. Europe is still paying for the war, and will
continue for many years.
1. is interesting to note that the semi-annual payments
just made to the United States by foreign nations total
SILT, 900. The greater part of this sum represents
interest charges, ST, 355,oO0. The rest, $45, 1877 900, was
applied to reduction of the principal.
England paid s6e, 100000, all of which was interest.
France reduced her principal by s35, 00O, 900. Italy paid
s5!0O0000 and Belgium s4y82 900. Smaller sums were
paid by Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Jugo-
Slavia and the Baltic countries.
This money helps reduce our national debt. That. at
least, is consoling to every taxpayer.

Chicago Gang Menace National
Madison wis State

Madison WIS., State Journal
Further emphasis has been given of the lawlessness
arising from Chicago gangdom by the bank robberies' in
this state. Armed bandits took away from the ST. afford
state Bank OF Marathon county $4,000. Another gang
obtained $1,000 at the Bank of Leopolis, Shawano county.
There Is little question that the robbers were members
OF the gangs that have obtained such a hold upon Chi
cago. They are daily extending the field of their out
lawry~ Practically all the robberies that have occurred
in Wisconsin during the past two years have been Off
shoots of Chicago gangdom.
Wisconsin stands. in no different position from other
neighboring states to Illinois. They are all suffering, as
are the small cities in Illinois, from the depredations OF
men who are members of the protected crime and vice
rings of Chicago. The robbers have made their raids
and returned to the safe harbor Chicago has offered
to criminals.
ChicagoS crime is therefore a national menace. The
people OF outside states have a right to demand that
Chicago be cleansed for their protection. So long as
~gangsters can find a safe refuge after their crime, in the
large Illinois metropolis, no place In the United States is
safe from gangster depredations.

Projecting Another u. S. Empire

Of the country to the south and southwest of Spokane.
The development will be difficult at points and viii
involve at least $500,000 900, engineers estimate, As far
as irrigation goes. the sandy nature of the soil around
Kennewick will be a big obstacle to getting efficient re-
suits.
The project was agitated in 1920. Congressman John
w. Sommers, of Walla Walla, organized parties for trips
over the area to be benefited and has ever since kept the
project more or less in the public eye. There is a splen-
g.! fruit and wheat country in this section of Washing
ton and if it could be assured sufficient moisture it would
almost feed the world. Major J. s. Butler, army engineer
at Seattle. has studied the river from the standpoint of
draining one-fourteenth Of the area of the country.
The plan under consideration is expected to provide the
needed moisture and to distribute it electrically. The
area is semi-arid and much of it is thickly covered with
sage brush. The soil is rich. It is a natural breadbasket

Hats and the Palouse country if it were reclaimed by wa

Encouraging Non-Voting

A new form of boycott calculated to nettle Britain
has been evolved by the working committee of the ALI
India congress. The committee is appealing to the peo-
pie to abstain from voting, and to prospective candidates
to refrain from seeking office in forthcoming elections
to the legislature.
In one respect, the United States has pretty we'll at
tanned the objective for which the nationalist of India
are now striving. While candidates for office in this
country can rarely be discouraged from seeking office,
the American people do abstain from voting. Nor is a
boycott needed to attain this end. Mere apathy succeeds
in keeping about SO per cent of the eligible voters away
from the polls.
If the boycott on the election booth fails in India,
both the nationalist and organizations seeking to get
out the American vote can be benefited by an exchange

Lima Basquette in
Attempt at Suicide

Los Angeles, Aug. 13.-(R-Lina
Basquette, stage and film actress and
widow of Sam Warner, motion pic
ture executive, "a treated for a
slight case of poisoning at the Receiv-
ing hospital late last night after po-
lice said she admitted a suicide at
tempt.
Miss Basquette was registered at
the hospital as Eleanor Copeland"
but later admitted her identity, police
said, after her maid, Irene castro,
had broken down under questioning
and given her employers true name.
Police surgeons found the actress
had not been seriously poisoned and
later released her to her personal
home. They said she told them her
act was prompted by her failure to
obtain the custody of her four-year-
old daughter, Lita Warner. The child
was adopted by a brother Of Sam
Warner following the latter's death.

HEART BURN AND GAsTRITIs

HEART BURN AND GASTRITIS
The heart is not a very sensitive
organ insofar as its reaction to SEN
satiOn is concerned, and most of the
pains which seem to occur near the
heart really are in the stomach, dia-
phragm, plura or lungs.
HEARTBURN usually is only a symp-
tom of acidity of the stomach which
is to the left side of the body and
presses almost directly under the
heart. When the stomach is filled
with a fermenting mass of food or
where there is a large amount Of in
flammation present there may be a
burning feeling created in the upper
part Of the stomach which is referred
to as heart burn" because Of the re-
gion from which the pain Is felt. and
because the actual pressure Of gas
may cause interference with the heart,
itself.
If you belch frequently just after
eating, you may have eaten too much.
Try cutting own the amount of food
at n meal to half. This still may
be too much, and it may be neces-
sary to reduce the quantity. No stom-
ach car take care of Is or 20 separate

seasoned foods and condiments
excite the flow of gastric juice, and
more acids are thrown into the Stom-
ach than can be handled. Also, high.

will produce a chronic state of in

Boosting the Highway

The scheme for a great highway, which
would give motorists of Canada and the United States
access by road to the countries of South America, will,
probably receive material aid from the international road
conference which will be held in Washington next fall.
Already, 1t is announced, the U. S. bureau of public
roads is preparing to open an office in Panama TO advise
Central American countries on the location of the road
from the Mexican border to the isthmus The Mexican
section will be completed before long, and South Ameri-
can nations are displaying keen interest in the project.
One can only hope that the whole proposition goes for
ward rapidly. The highway will be of immense import
ance to every country IN the new world. Its construction
will be one of the most notable events since the voyage
of Columbus.

LUCY STONES BIRTH

On Aug. 10, 1918, Lucy Stone, a pio-
neer American %suffragist, and often
referred to as the morning star of

born in West Brookfield, Mass, the
daughter of a farmer.
AS a girl she was considered

woman was entitled to every social
and political right enjoyed by man.
Bent on practising what she
preached, Lucy travelled to Ohio to
enter Obeflin, one of the first Of
Americas co-educational schools, to
learn Hebrew and Greek in order to
know at first hand whether the bib
lical texts quoted against the equal
rights of women were true transla-

Aim to Make Indian Wise and Sedate

Tho neon,e who are paid salaries to civilize the Indian
from swivel chairs in Washington are taking the hgh-
brow portion of their responsibility as seriously as a
laundry woman putting washed clothes through a wiring
er. They have just announced that the last oregs Oh
savagery are to be squeezed out OF Lo.
This sounds we'll as talk, but when the details Oh the
announced policy are studied it looks a good deal like
interference with the natural course of Indian eVolu-
tion. Association of the red man with the white has had
a tremendous influence on divertlng the lndlan from MS
old savage and ncmadic life. 1t has been possible also 10
get from the Indian schools results that stick, although
t}e degree of improvement from this source has been
disappointing, due to considerable degeneracy back into
wild habits after the students OF the schools nave gone
back to the triba existence. This retrogression is be-
coming less and less from year to year and 1t ought to
continue receding, now that the Indian has come into
voting citizenship.
What the Indian bureau is harping on is the tendency
of the Indian to play Snowman. Commissioner G. 5.
Rhoades wants him kept out of rodeos and wild west
shows and circuses. He is to be made dignified.
It. would be too bad if the bureau overdid this policy
and stiflcd some of the activities which are but natural
to the red men and for graduating which abruptly there
is neither urgent call nor due time now. In part the
Indian must be left to the processes of evolution from
contact, schooling, vocational training and transmu-
tation of old instincts and customs into Caucasian traits.
While the purpose of the bureau to shut down on the
Indians play does not sound SO good, as II means the
severance of bonds between the Indian and his pony and
some of his tribal crafts, the program for better educa-
ton has a more favorable ring. This education is to be
Of the vocational type. Perhaps the bureau will b. able
to make this schooling stick. 1t has been retained and
put into practical use by many OF the graduates OF the
old Carlisle school. On the Grow, Cheyenne, Sioux and
Blackfoot reservations of Dakota and Montana there are
splendid types of farmers and livestock men among the
tribes. The bureau proposes to go beyond the training
these Indians received and Ito provide for the INDECENT,
to assist him in finding and keeping a job, to increase the
productivity of his land and to give him the advantages
Of modern organization and business methods to the end
that we may hasten the day when he will be able to as
sumo entire responsibility for caring for himself and his
problems just as does his white %neighbor."
