WASHINGTON, May 4.-Secre-
tary o. State Henry L. Stimson's
talks with Europe's leaders have
encouraged him TO believe they
firmly will support Americas efforts
to uphold the open door" policy
in China. and the sanctity of trea-
ties affecting the far east.
It was in search Of this assur-
ance, fully as much as to stimulate
disarmament, that Stimson went to
Geneva. Now he has obtained it.
Hence, despite the immediate fail
ure Of the American disarmament
plan, the secretary's associates feel
that his trip was well justified. He
plans to sail for the United States
Wednesday.
Stimson went to Geneva hoping
that statesmen there we're ready to
abolish three aggressive arms.
Heavy mobile guns, tanks and poi
son gas.
Due largely to French opposition,
the suggestion has not struck fire.
But it has not been abandoned.

3 PROGRESSIVE
SENATORS FACE
BITTER BATTLE
Blaine, Brookhart and Nye
Think Hoover Aiding
Regulars.

~ Scripps-Horard Ne'rspapcr 4u'rrcs
WASHINGTON. May 4-Three
progressive Republican senators
Gerald P Nye OF North Dakota,
Smith Wildman Brookhart Of Iowa
and John j. Blaine OF Wisconsin,
will be opposed for renominat ton by
administration factions on the
ground that they have not sup
ported President Hoover.
Although President Hoover has
given no sign that he is behind the
war on the trio. the men marked
for slaughter believe that the White
House has suggested that they be
defeated. just as Robert H. Lucas.
executive director Of the Repub-
lican national committee, tried 70
defeat Senator George Norris Of
Nebraska in 1880.
The. three men running this year
have voted With the progressives
instead Of the regulars on many
major issues.
The administration already has
furnished ammunition for Governor
George F. Shafer. who will oppose
Nye in the June 90 primary.
According to Nye. the Governor
has been given credit by almost
every federal department for local
benefits obtained by Nye and his
colleague, Senator Frazier. When
ever the departments accede 10
senatorial requests or protests, Nve
says. Shafer is allowed to make pub
lie the decision, and to claim credit
for it.
John B. Chapple. newspaper ed
itor. announced he would oppose
Blaine in the September primary.
after a conference with President
Hoover. Chapple has denounced
Blaine and the La Follettes for
months.
The Iowa Republican organiza-
ton. which would prefer a Democrat
to Brookhart. has tried to stack the
primary against him. Under the
Iowa election law, the nomination
is made by convention unless a can
didate in the primary wins IS per
cent OF the total vote.
Five men have entered against
Brookhart in the hope that the
nomination will be thrown into the
convention, where the regulars will
be In control.

his conduct has been exemplary. lf it hasn't been that be will serve his full eleven year stretch.
 While we are as kind-hearted as the next person and as eharitably inclined we find no soft spot in our heart for the Chicago ruler of the underworld. He has been bad in- fluenee not merely on that city but upon the entire nation. His method of wholesale slay- ings of rival gangsters smaeked of the cruelty and blood-thirstiness of the Roman emperors of old who glorified in the sight of prisoners being rent by the fangs of wild beasts. Let us hope that when Mr Capone emerges from behind prison bars the proh- bition laws that gave him such leverage will have been changed and his particular niche in the underworld will be far from env- able one.
 Uncle Sam moved wisely and adroitly in its move against the Chicago bad boy. There were no futile efforts made to trap him for any of the numerous outrages which he perpetrated in that section of the eoun- try. It was just an ordinary income tax return violation that penetrated the fortif- cation behind which Capone thought him self safe from any moestation. Where local or state law was concerned Capone be- lieved himself impregnable. Where violation of certain federal statutes were concerned again could he buy his way clear, but one channel he overlooked and it proved shoal on which his ship is now foundered. We reeeho our claim that there is no better place for him than behind the bars at Atlanta,

will come q revival of interest in tho man who was far greater as q warrior than as e president.
 Lincoln came in for no little criticism when he chose Grant and gave him virtually unlimited power. and oven Lincoln needed all his patience and forbearance after the bloody campaign of the Wilderness, when Grant saw that he could afford to lose men far better than the Confederate lead ors could, sinco replacements were becoming more and more dimcult for them. Eventually the end came, as Grant foresaw. So far as nc was concerned, 1t was part of the days work, and he showed no enmity toward the vanquished forces of the Confectionery.
 AS soon as opportunity offered Grant became President, where- upon what had been q virtue in him became a serious liability. for as President he trusted, his friends implicitly and critcsm of them ap- peared to hm matter of no i'm. portance, thing not to be con- sidered seriously; so undeserving men profted by the confidence which he reposed In them. It ap- pears that, despite the cloud cast upon his title, the administration of Hayes was welcome and salu- tary. and Grant, one feels sure. was more than willing to rest from his labors as chief executive.
 Fate reserved the worst blow for the last, for interruptions men won the confidence of Grant and used his name to further their own ends The crash came. and Grant real- ixed too late the base uses to which his name and reputation had been put, and at the time he was at grips with the. enemy which no hu- man can conquer. The failure of Grant & Ward came in May, 1884. and Grant died in the summer of 1885. .There Is much in his career to inspire not only interest, but re- spect and pity.
