JACK DIAMOND LOST HIS POWER
 OF ATTRACTION
Little Attention Paid to 0angster When He En. tered Court to Attend His Trial

Troy. N. Y, July IA -- (UPl - The anaemic human target, Jack Diamond. looked on cynically but nervously today as the state brought charts and experts for ward in the attempt to imprison him on an assault charge. The gang leader, who has been shot several times and whose exploits have brought a pseudo glamor about, his moves, attracted little attention today. Only a handful of children were outside the court room when he was brought from the county jail. His entrance into the court room created little stir.
 He sat in the defendants s chair and the state called for the first witness of the day, Charles knis.. kern, a topogra phical engineer or the state department of public works, to show by maps the exact place where Grover Parks. a Cairo truckman, was waylaid, assaulted and kidnapped. The state con tends that this waylaying of the truckman, "who nightly hauled cider through the green country farming country" was done by members of Diamonds gang with Diamond actively participating.

By RAYMOND CHAPTER United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, July 14.-UP)- By almost unanimous consent among democrats, Newton D. Baker of Ohio is regarded as one of the most able statesmen in the party.
 But many who attest his ability are critical of him. The critics however are not as numerous as
 they were during and immediately after the war.
 As wartime secretary of war, Baker was regarded by many as pacifist. But as war memoirs of General Pershing and others come to light, Bakers record Is receiv- ing more and more approval. He ranks along with the aces of the legal profession, with Charles Evans Hughes and John w. Davis. (Continued on Page 15.)

"The Young plan is ending in economic disaster, It's conse- ouences also will be felt in the en- tire world outside Germany. The folly of the Versailles treaty. which was made to divide the world in two parts for our future. will prove the curse of mankind as a whole. For the most serious danger is not economic disaster but bolshevization as tho conse- quence of general economic ruin."
 Hitler said that there were "only two possibilities for the fu- ture,"
 "These possibilities are either our movement for power over bol- shevism, or bolshevism. The sec- ond choice will turn central Eu- rope and possibly the world into chaos.
 "Whenever fate calls us 10 the helm, we shall not believe in the possibility of paying political tri- bute. But we do believe in the necessity of fulfilling those purely economic obligations which Ger many has assumed in the course of years"

The Exnected Hannens

That postmastershipS have been sold by congress-
men, or rather congressman should not occasion
any surprise to those who understand the history of
Indiana politics.
The moral viewpoint of the state from the time
that D. G. Stephenson took charge of Republican
politics would not condemn such practice even if
federal law frowns upon it,
The state has only in the last election finally freed
itself from the vicious influences brought in by the
apostle of hate. Nor it wholly free now The men
who barganed and consorted and conspired with the
most famous guest at Michigan City still run the
party.
One phase which the public should be en-
hghtened is why the state and national committees
last November spent time and money in trying to
re-elect the congressman who now is charged with
such betrayal of his powers of office.
They can not plead ignorance. Open charges
we're made during that campaign that the sale of
Jobs was common practice The postmaster gen
eral says that these charges true. Yet the
national and state committees did not hesitate or
weaken in their support of this protege of D. c.
Stephenson.
The matter not end with the discharge of
those who paid. There still are many weeks before
congress adourns. Concevably the vote of this one
member might decide the laws of all the people.
A federal grand jury now, not after the statute
OF limitations has run, Or his term expires should
investigate. Government by the venal and corrupt
never can be good government probably not repre-
sentative government.

Unquestionably they viii become important
factor, with their vast resources in situation comp-
Gated by the growth Of the chain store systems and
the decline OF the independent merchant and whole
saler.
Justice Bailey forbade retail trade, fearing ami
hilation of independent dealers and development of
monopoly. But he evidence of monopoly now,
nor danger Of it.
What the ultimate result of Baiey's decision will
be- time alone tell. At first blush it is difficult
to how the consumer can suffer- if there is genuine
competition among the packers, if they are to come
into competition with chain stores and independent
wholesalers and if the independent retailers are to
be preserved.
1t to preserve competition that antitrust laws
under which the 1920 decree was entered, were de-
signed. Wholesalers, naturally, are not pleased
1t should be noted that the judge took cognizance
of changing business methods and apparently tried
adjust the decree conform to them as well as to the
purpose Of the antitrust laws.
The packers argued, and with seeming logic that
during the last ten years conditions of production and
marketing have undergone material changes, citing
the tendency toward mergers and the growth of chain
stores, and that they at disadvantage with the
restrictions imposed on them.

Packers will be permitted to 60 into the wholesale
grocery business under decision of Justice Jennings
Bailey of the District of Columbia supreme court
modifying the consent decree" of 1920 subject of so
much litigation and dispute
The decree was an agreement between the packers
and the department of justice, under which packers
consented to give up dealing in all commodities except
meat if the government would drop threatened anti
trust proceedings.
Although the packers express themselves as salts
red they only partial victory. They will not be
permitted to resume control of stockyards terminal
railroads, and market newspapers. Nor will they be
permitted to engage in retail trade-and this is one
Of the most important parts of the decision.
The packers will be able to use their selling and
distributing forces their branch houses through
out the country in packing handling and distributing
al kinds OF food to the doors of retailers.

Not Fair to Mexico

irrigation problem.
The economic and political adj
vantage we would gain through ex-
elusive control of the river is
obvious. So, too, is the economic
and political advantage We would
gain by acquiring the fertile land
which lies adjacent to it, as well as
the rich mineral resources of Lower
California.
But it is our idea of international
equity and fair play to wave money
in neighboring governments face
and demand the right to buy some
of its territory every time we see an
economic Or political advantage?
OF course, it isn't, but how are we
going to make the NIeXicans or
Latin Americans understand that it
isn't, with proposals like that of
Senator Ashurst cropping up every
SO often?
