.FRANEUP PLEA
WINS FREEDOM

Declaring that he had been
framed" by a police stool pigeon
Angel Martin, colored, %. yester.
day was exonerated on a liquor
charge by a police court jury,
which failed to reach a verdict
in q case of second offense pos
session.
Assistant United States At
torney David A. Hart said:
II will say that I personally
will never try this case again.
/ did not like the looks of it
from the first and / am con-
vinced it should never have
been tried. AS to whether or
not any action will be taken
against the infOrmer for dis
crepancies in his testimony,
must be determined by the
Judge"
Judge Ralph Given, who pre-
sided in the case, said that he
would not cause charges to be
filed against Leslie Pitcher, the
1nformer, but added that he
understood the man would be re-
lieved of his duties as special
employe."
Martin was arrested July 2,
when police followed Pitcher to
a barber shop at 467 Penn
sylvania Ave. N. w., where the
colored man was a bootblack.
The sale charge was based on an
affidavit by Pitcher that he had
bought a pint of liquor from Mar
TIN at the shop a few hours be-
fore the raid.

JAPAN'S OBJECTION

Japan's objection to the United States
participation in the league o nations e f.
forts to preserve peace in Manchuria has
tended further to complicate the delicate
situation which has prevailed since the Jap
anese and Chinese clashed at Mukden At the
same time, it may prove beneficial in show
ing to Washington the dangerous POSSIBLE
tiles which have been generated by Amer
ica's international aloofness and the neces-
sity for their removal if the cause of world
peace is to be served most effectively.
Tokyo's position must not be too severely
criticised, especially when it is remember
ed that wars and rumors of wars probably
engulf Japan, that the propaganda mill has
been steadily grinding and that the nation
alist spirit has obviously been famed into
high flame throughout the land of the set
ting SUM- The United States has heretofore
rejected the League of Nations. It is not a
member of that body, has spurned member
ship; yet when an emergency arises it
knocks at the door, not for membership, but
for the privilege Of cooperation, of dealing
with situation which concerns members.
One wonders what the American government
would tell the league in event that body at
tempted to settle any international controv-
ersy in which it was principal, especially if
the clash involved some other next-door
neighbor, say Mexico.

Valley Changers have been making some
improvements on the club house recently. We
note the work is not yet complete. It will be
necessary to hold at least one more dona-
ton day to finish the job. Merely in passing,
the thought struck us that perhaps it would
not be amiss if one Chick Sales, the special
list, were extended a special invitation to at
tend the next time the gang gets together.
While it is necessary this year to make a
more strenuous effort in our relief work,
do not think that our community is any worse
off than others. AS matter of fact, it is
not nearly so bad as most others Never
theless, there is certain amount of this
work which must be borne by the commun-
ity, and twill be necessary for everyone to
do his share. Do not delay your contribu-
tons. Let them be as liberal as possible,
make them as soon as possible, meanwhile

able to do it. Well all live.

AN AMERICAN PLAN

President Hoover has evolved an Ameri-
can plan for business resuscitation. 1t is pre-
dicted on voluntary organization much like
the way finance board, handling revolving
fund of half billion dollars. This organiza-
ton will aid banks in iquidating four bill
lions of frozen assets, thus getting money
into business channels.
But, the Presidents plan goes farther. It
looks toward the liberalization Of rules to
permit reserve banks to handle wider var
iety of securities, and the strengthening of
federal land banks. Thus the plan is design
ed to aid not only business but also indus
try and farming. Manifestly the success of
the plan depends ON cooperation, and the
test of cooperation will come with the mob
ilization Of the country's resources, as in
World War times All the more so since the
plan can be put into effect and carried out
without the aid Of congress, the party lead
ers of which have approved and committed
themselves to it. With business and indus
try again directed by a central committee,
and with resources modified and employed
in thawing out frozen assets, there should
soon be vast Improvement in financial con-
ditionS.

HALLOWEEN NIGHT MISCHIEF

Halloween when it started far back in
the midst of time, was the night when evil
spirits were supposed to flock out of hiding
places and roam forth the earth, maruding
and destroying.
After many centuries we see the work of
the evil spirits inherited and ably handled
by Willie Tom, Jack and the rest of the
youthful "gang."
It illustrates how next to impossible it is
TO get custom or superstition out of the
human brain, once it gets there.
On the ancient agricultural calendar, Hal
lowe'en was sort of New Years Day. Har-
vest was over and the landlord called for his
share of the crops raised by tenant farmers.
1t was the custom for him to arrive late in
the evening and make merry at such pas
times as cider drinking and apple bobbing.
When the fun was over and the landlord got
down to business, it was early morning of
November 1.
Probably this is why the first of the month
is rent-paying day, instead of the fifteenth
or any other date that would be just as log
ical.
Time was, when Halloween was less a
4lSuG VI OCVAtiy s1ilu LloI o. iiSLC VI AAoS-
pitality, good fellowship, roaring fireplaces,
good things to eat and drink, and delight
full superstition such as walking down eel
lar stairs backward, carrying candle and
mirror i'm which cher future husbands face
might appear.
The world has not enough of hospitality
and goodfellowship. Let's revive it, this Hal
lOwe'en and make the night of witches and
COLLINS jovial as well as prankul.
Kennewick mothers and fathers should
think many times before they allow their
young sons to go out masked and in large
groups without chaperonage or adult lead
ership on Halloween night or any night.
It is on such occasions that boys take their
first lessons in lawlessness. They get their
first thrills, and it calls for second and
third thrill.

y
of news while / was out there and
when I finally did why you sor-
ter wondered if it was what you
was expecting.
Of course the World Series was
on all the time I was there and
that figured about right, with
the exception of thinking that the
!Phillies would win, and / had it
that Grove and Earnshaw would
be the heroes. Well I had just made
a mistake in the names. / had the
number r ig hit, and the position
that they played right. But it was
just Grimes and Hallihan. Then
this Pepper Martin, had a fellow
figured out to be the hero, but it
wasn't just exactly Martin, it was
two other fellows.
You know you would be surpris-
ed at the Mexicans down there that
when l finally drifted out into civ
ilization that knew. out the
games. They are playing a lot of
baseball in the Citys and they are
getting pretty expert at it, too. OF
course the other news that travel
ed so that it reached us away in
the interior was the d e q t h of
Dwight Morrow. / don't know when
I had ever come to like and admire
a man more than / did him.
l was in Mexico with him when
he first went down, he was just
sizing up the situation, he used to
say, 81 don't know anything about
Diplomacy, but these people are
our neighbors, and we have to live
by each other, SO their problems
can't be any different from those
of any other neighbors. He put hui
manness into his so-called Diplo-
matte job. I knew from the first
day that I met him that he was
going to make good on that job,
and it was considered to be the
toughest post of any in the serv-
ice. More public men have been
buried in Mexico than in Wash
ington. But Mr.. Coolidge knew his
man, and he trusted him, and he
came through for him. He was
loyal fellow, he stuck by Mr..
Hoover from start to finish, and
in doing it he always retained the
friendship and respect of the OPP
position party. Morrow didn't have
an enemy on the other side. Gosh
he was a great little fellow. Darn
it why is it the good ones are the
ones that go, that's one t h j n g
about an onery guy, you never
hear of him dying. He is into
everything else but coffin.
Course too while ] was gone,
Mr.. Hoover rounded up the bank
ers and told 'em if they wanted to
continue getting any six percent

what he told EN-, but he sure did

So it looks like the last couple
of weeks or so why everyone has
been holding their own. They sure
haven't been turning loose Of it,
SO they must be holding it, along
with everybody elses that they
can get their hands on. We used
