LEGION RACES
GETTING WARM
Brennan, Danforth, Seeking
leadership; Three Cities
Want 1891 Meet

AUSTIN, Sept. 3-tP1-Delegates
TO the 18th annual convention Of
the Texas department Of the Ameri-
can Legion settled down today for
their final sessions In which they
we're to hear an address by United
States Senator Tom Connally. elect
their state officers for 1881 and
cheese a convention city for next
year.
The race for commander Of the
Texas department was especially
hot. with Hal Brennan Of Laredo
and DR.. w. j. Danforth of Fort
Worth seeking the office. The fight
for selection as the 1881 convention
city also was growing warmer.
The three main c~ontenders were
I'll Paso, Corpus Christi and Mineral
Wells. The convention also was TO
elect a national executive commit
teeman and delegates and alter
mates to the 18th national conven-
ton and pass on approximately 100
resolutions and several proposed
amendments to the constitution.
Yesterday the delegates heard
three stirring addresses, one by Josh
Lee, head Of the department Of pub
lie speaking Of the University of
Oklahoma; another by United States
Senator Morris Sheppard and an
other by o. L. Bodenhamer, nation
al commander of the American Leg
ion.
Sheppard urged a revision Of the
4n<a4eT A.A &N~~E -&.-~
OF the nation as a cure TO the TN
employment and distressed agri-
cultural conditions. He stated that
under the present system, American
initiative and enterprise was being
throttled and stated that industry
should be decentraliZed TO provide
for greater participation by work
men.
He condemned a financial struc-
ture that vested only Two e cent
OF the population with 40 per cent Of
the nations wealth.
Bodenhamer directed his address
mainly at the detectives of the ma
tional organization and its cam
paign for disqualification and reha-
bilitation Of the disabled veterans
Of the world war. He reviewed the
measure the Legion had succeeded
IN getting through congress and out
lined measures which IL hoped TO
get through at the next sessions.
The national commander also
dwelt at length on the universal
draft plan, claiming that once Il
was placed in operation the money
ed interests Of the land would not
be so willing to throw the flower OF
american manhood into armed con-
flict II their wealth was liable to
c~onfiscation for the safety OF the
nation.
Bodenhamer was presented with a
brief case by the members OF the
Texarkana post and was the guest
last night Of a reproduction of the
battle OF Chateau Thierry at the
University Of Texas memorial sta
dunn.

Punishment by Extra Duty.

Granting that fines for trifling Of
lenses are apt to hurt the policeman's
family more than they hurt the police
man, the Trial Boards experiment in
awarding hours of extra duty to erring
policemen in lieu of the fines is not
good thing from the standpoint of the
public nor should it be retained as
form of disciplinary punishment.
A policeman's tour of duty in patrol
ling a beat or regulating traffic should
never be lowered to the plane OF pun
tshment for an offense The Army, as
Gen. Crosby of course knows, does not
permit a prisoner to perform guard
duty or to go on parade or in any way
to mix his duties as soldier with
extra duties imposed as punishment. If
policemen are to be punished by extra
duty, the extra duty should take some
form akin to the traditional Kitchen
police" There are probably many odd
Jobs about a precinct station, such as
sweeping or painting or shining the
brass work, that could be made the lot
of those who otherwise might be liable
TO trivial fine.
A policeman doing traffic duty as a
penalty is apt to fall into the state Of
mind of any human being who Is being
punished. Certainly the dignity of his
position suffers. The Trial Board should
drop this form Of punishment.

years ago he was the vice presidential
candidate Of the Democratic party. To
send new man to the Senate in place
Of Senator Robinson, a freshman" in that
body where strong position and leadership
are won usually after years of service,
would be to reduce the influence of the
State of Arkansas in the Senate and in
the field Of national politics by large
margin.
The leadership of Senator Robinson
on the Democratic side of the Senate
chamber, whether it be approved as good
political strategy or not, has been a real
leadership, forceful and well sustained.
Nor has he been guided alone by parti-
sanship in the position of leader of the
Democratic party in the Senate. He has
acted frequently in the interest of expe-
diting legislation, when it has appeared
almost impossible to bring about agree
ment because of conflicting desires in
the Senate. His leadership along these
lines has been decidedly constructive.
When Senator Robinson went to
OSAiNOH - AiSHADoA "a WIG %AAHSA ivan
delegation to the Naval Conference he
went as an American. He demonstrated
his position at the conference again
and again, and when an agreement was
reached which he considered just and
advantageous from the American point
of view, he concurred in it. His Serv-
ice as a member Of the delegation to
the Naval Conference is by no means
the least of his services for Nation and
State.

Senator Joseph T. Robinson.

Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson Of
Arkansas, Democratic leader Of the
Senate, has been challenged for his
Senate seat by Thomas w. Campbell.
Mr. Campbell, who at one time served
SIS State chairman for the Democrats
IN Arkansas and also sought on occa-
sion to defeat the late Representative
William Oldfeld for the House, has
been actively campaigning for the pri-
mary election, which takes place August
IL. Senator Robinson for many months
has been either in Washington attend
ing to his duties as Senator and Demo-
cratic leader or in London, where he
served as a member of the American
delegation to the Naval Conference. At
present, however, Senator Robinson is
in his home State and it is to be pre-
sumed that he will look to his political
fences while he is there.
To the Democrat-andt to the Repub-
lican-outside of Arkansas the defeat Of
Senator Robinson, provided it could be
accomplished, would appear to be a ridic-
ulous move on the part Of the voters of
his own State. For seventeen years Mr..
Robinson has served In the Rsnate, and
for the last six years he hassbeen the
leader Of his party In that body. Two

A bill is pending in the House of
representatives, having passed the Sem
ate, declaring July 5, 1880, legal holi-
day in the District of Columbia. It
was introduced jointly in the two houses
a few weeks ago, was approved by the
District Commissioners and by the
Senate committee on District affairs,
and then, on the passage of the Senate
bill, by the House committee. There
is, as the Commissioners state in their
report on the measure, no objection to
its passage. 1t should and probably
will be passed finally before adjourn
ment in season to be effective.
The reason for this measure is that
this year Independence day falls on
Friday. 1t is the general custom In
such circumstances to make the day
following a holiday, particularly for
banking and general business purposes.
Saturday, especially in Summer time,
is a half day only in ordinary condi-
tions. The banks are in an especially
difficult position on q Saturday follow
ing a legal holiday. There is little or
no business for transaction, but they
must keep their doors open and their
organization fully geared. They cannot,
like mercantile establishments, suspend
operations in the absence of statutory
enactment. So this present measure is
designed to enable the banks to close
as well as the business houses and the
Government departments and the Dis
trict Offices, without any question IS to
the legality of the action.
In 1925 Christmas fell on Friday and
on the 22d of December Congress ap-
proved a joint resolution declaring De-
cember rs Of that year q legal holiday
in the District. This precedent IS war
rant for similar action this year.

The President on the Treaty.

In the final sentence Of q statement
Issued yesterday regarding the naval
treaty now pending before the Senate,
the President met squarely and effec-
lively an objection that has been raised
TO the treaty by some of the opponents
TO its ratification. He said: There is
not one scintilla of agreement or obli-
CATION of any character outside the
treaty itself"
This means explicitly just what the
President said, that whatever there is
Of agreement, of limitation, of under
standing between the powers signatory
to the treaty lies in the instrument.
There are no hidden compacts, no Sc
eret agreements, no implied obligations
beyond the text.
As In his final sentence the Presi-
dent specifically quashes an indictment
Of the treaty brought by its foes, so
IA his first sentence he clears the air
Of any possible misunderstanding re-
garding what the treaty does, in fact,
accomplish for the United States. The
real issue, he says, is whether we shall
stop competitive naval building with all
the destruction and dangers to interna-
tional good will which continuation on
these courses implies. Then he points
out that the treaty prevents the neces-
sity of spending an enormous sum in
q race to catch up with competitors,
with no assurance that We will reach
parity and proportionate strength even
with such an expenditure. He sets
forth that this present agreement gives
us a substantial parity and proportion
ate strength and therefore with our
Army absolute defensive power. This
Il accomplished by an agreement which
makes for good will and for decrease
in the naval armament of the world,
and which puts our program of naval
renewals and cruiser construction at a
cost far less than would otherwise be
required.
The program is to let Congress adj
journ upon the conclusion Of its pres
ent legislative schedule, then to call
the Senate in extra session to consider
the treaty. There will be no adjourn
n1ent without action. There must be
q count of hands this Summer, and
the sooner the better. There Is no
earthly reason for honest misunder-
standing of the treaty, nor for opposi-
ton to it when its purposes and its
possibilities for the national and in
ternational welfare are measured.

Assuring Capital Development.

Final enactment of the Cramton bill
assures the local park development, but
leaves the great development outside of
Washington up to the States Of Mary
land and Virginia, as the Federal par
ticipation outside of the District Is con-
, tingent upon their action. For this
reason it would be an excellent idea to
form some closely knit committee,
representing the park commissions of
the two States and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and
including in its membership some of
the Congressman who have taken a
leading part in the legislation up to
this time, or who represent the States
concerned.
The Cramton bill is not, of course, a
local measure, nor are its benefits con-
fined to the States. 1t was not conceived
as anything but national program for
the Identification of the National
Capital 1t is important that its pro-
visions be carried out, but now that the
national legislature has committed the

State legislatures must do their part or
the purposes of the bill will have failed.
AS everybody knows, this will require
constant pushing. Such things are not
carried through by their own momen-
tum. The legislatures and the taxpayers
of the States must be convinced that
the money they invest in identifying
the areas adjacent to. Washington is
well spent
A select committee. representing the
various agencies involved and possibly
headed by the President of the United
States, would doubtless accomplish

that lit seems that Secretary StimSon

President Washington and President
Harding when he told the Senate COM
mittee that the question whether this
treaty is or is not in the interest of the
