 Insolent Conduct

For the second time since the present term of the United States District Court began, Cliff Mat thews today was awaiting the yer dict of jury on his guilt or in- nocence of violating the Alaska Bone Dry Law. but whatever the jury may decide in this matter, he will serve a 9O-day jail sentence as a result of the trial
 Matthews was tried several days ago and the jury failed to agree on a verdict. Saturday afternoon Judge Justin W. Harding sent for him to advise him that a second trial would start Monday morning
 The man objected to the Courts action and sprawling across the clerks desk, made his objections unmistakably known. His remarks were quite effective, to the extent that Judge Harding adjudged him guilty of insolent conduct in the presence of the Court and sentenc- ed him to jail for 90 days to medi- tate on his sins. And yesterday the original charge of violating the Alaska Bone Dry Law was brought to trial
 The jury received the case at 11.45 am. today and at midafter- noon had not reached a verdict, Matthews was represented in the liquor case by H. L. Faulkner and George B. Grigsby.

Aid for the Railroads

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in its annual report, has called
upon Congress to go TO the aid Of the
railroads with important changes in
the laws. 1t is the duty Of Congress
TO give serious consideration and to
take prompt action. The railroad
problem is not one that can success
fully be shunted from one session Of
the Congress to another without ma
terially affecting the well-belng of the
entire country, A most cursory exam
ination of the situation should be suf-
ficient to prove that II the railroads
are TO continue, some steps must be
taken TO improve their condition. One
danger the railroads face in Congress
comes from a determined minority
group which seeks to force Govern
ment ownership and operation of tie
transportation lines. The greater the
difficulties Of the roads under private
ownership and operation, the nearer
some OF these legislators believe is the
day when the Government will take
over the roads and operate them.
A large majority of the members OF
Congress are opposed to having the
Government assume the operation of
the railroads. Many of the members
are anxious TO help the roads in their
present straits. In the Senate a reso-
luton has already been favorably re-
ported from the Committee on Inter
state Commerce calling for an inquiry
into the whole railroad problem. Its
purpose is TO make available to the
Congress the fullest information regard
ing the plight Of the roads 80 chat l5gis-
lation may follow. President Hoover,
in his annual message 70 the Congress
has emphatically called attention to
the need of some amendments to the
existing laws. The problem should be
and is non-partisan. The Democrats,

Quick Action in West Virginia.

Happily the country is spared the
unset naly spectacle Of protracted trial
Of the monster who has Just been con-
victed of murder in West Virginia. The
case has been brought to a finish with
dispatch and it is to be hoped that
there will be little delay In the execu-
ton of the sentence of death which
automatically accompanies the finding
Of the jury. This case was particularly
abhorrent in its circumstances. The
crime was diabolical and at the time of
its discovery sent a shock of horror
throughout the land. But it was lust
the kind that certain types of minds
delight to contemplate to the least de-
tail. Fortunately the guilt of the ac-
cused was demonstrated by the plainest
OF evidence. The charge was coneen-
trated upon one of the several murders
which this faend had committed. Thus
1t was possible 70 reach conclusion
without the duplication and elabora-
ton SO dear to the heart of the morbid
minded. An appeal has been taken as
matter of form, but 1t should be
quickly met with denial. There Is no
justice in protracting such a case or
proionging the life of one who has for
1eited 1t by his vile crimes.

Senator Borah has received an ardent
recruit in his campaign for recognition
Of Soviet Representative VIII
liam r. Siroyich, Democrat, OF New
York. DR.. Sirovich spent three weeks In
Russia last Summer and came away a
full-dedged believer in the advisability
of American diplomatic intercourse with
Moscow. He has a speech on ice which
viii expound his views on the subject
in the House. Senator Borah's resolu-
ton for recognition has never emerged
from the Foreign Relations Committee
II automatically dies with the expiration
of a Congress, but the expectation is
that the Idahoan will presently drag
1t forth again and perhaps seek Senate
action. Even If the resolution were
adopted, 1t would have no mandatory
effect upon the President and the State
Department. 1t would merely be an
expression of the Senate's opinion.

far from salt water. He was born IN

He's been in the Navy roundly 40
years-ever since his graduation from

courage in both hands to say out loud
