insult Fugitives

The thousands of investors who lost in the billion
dollar insult failure must have wondered many times
in the last few months why Samuel and Martin insult
left the country as soon as word began to trickle
through to the public about the condition of their
affairs
Now indictments have been returned, charging the
two men with embezzlement and larceny Neither
has offered to return to the United States volun-
tarily 10, answer the charges, and many of those
whose savings have been dssipated construe this as
confession of guilt.
Other rich Americans have fled the country when
their affairs under public scrutiny. Certain
~ hid themselves for years to escape process
servers but they did not escape an unfriendly YER
dict from the people of their homeland based as
much upon the fact that they were fugtves as upon
the evidence against them.
But quite apart from the attitude of wronged in
vestors it is important that Samuel and Martin insult
be brought back the United States and put trial
on the charges against them. These men have been
two of the most powerful and wealthy citizens of
their generation and American justice, if it is to
tain the respect of its people must demonstrate again
and again that there shade Of difference between
its treatment of prominent men and men of no re-
nown
1t may be true that the insult brothers have been
stripped of their fortunes and their influence but in
the eyes of the citizen to whom every dollar means
toll and self-denial there still is of difference
between himself and man with sufficient money to
live in comfort in Paris.
1t may be true that the insults will build no more
political machines, but their dynasty has not yet be-
come thing of the past. AS long a shadow of old
insult power falls across the horizon long as there
is a suspicion that other men of wealth may have
been involved the crash it is necessary that scrupu
lousy fair efforts to examine the guilt innocence
of the accused be made.
The people who have lost through the insults will
gain nothing from punishment Of two elderly failures
But they and the rest of us will lose something more
precious than money unless can retain confidence
in the even handed justice of our courts

TAYLOR points out that chemis-
Il try has at hand sufficient
knowledge to cut down the con-
sumption of sulphur when scarcity
and consequent price increases will
make it necessary.
Of the Sulphuric acid produced,
40 per cent is consumed in the fer
tilizer industry, 20 per cent in oil
refining. 10 per cent in chemical
manufacture, and 10 per cent in the
iron and steel industry.
Development Of the hydrogena-
ton process of petroleum refining is
seen as threat to the use Of the
sulphur in that industry.
"Sulphuric acid may be the
cheapest reagent for this work" he
says, but other methods of refining
already have been developed which
not only give the oil the desired
characteristics, but yield side prod
ucts of value.
The INCORPORATION process re-
quires little sulphuric acid, but has
the added advantage of eliminating
the sulphur in the oil as hydrogen
sulphide, which easily can be re-
claimed.
"Sulphuric acid not only is I'M
necessary for production of hydro
chloric and nitric acids, but either
OF these may replace it in the de-
composition of phosphate rock in
the fertilizer industry"

At Last It's Told

Citizen viii H. Hays back home again in Indiana,
brings revelation to his neighbors.
James Eli Watson says citizen Hays is mere
senator. He is institution.
The dictionaries tell us that an institution is any
thing forming characteristic persistent feature
OF the nations life and habit"
Institutions are not to be discussed lightly fon
died with profane hands. They command respect,
even reverence.
Unfortunately, in every age, there have been
those among the vulgar mob who have questioned
the messages of the prophets 1t is to be expected
that from somewhere among the sycamores along the
Wabash will come voice asking for a bill Of par
tculars and those brazen to ask, not
whether Watson is an institution because that now is
established, but what kind of institution he is.
They may ask whether he is to be listed with the
pyramids or should come within the category of the
Greek gods the worship Of Baal the Duncan SYPHILIS
who whispered their messages to superstitious Roman
emperors in caves over whose entrance is written
abandon all hope ye who enter here"
Does the Institution mean that it is charsc-
terstic and persistent feature of our national life
and habits for senators to trade worthless for
sugar stock at time when they fixing tariffs on
that ingredient Of the morning coffee?
Does the Institution mean that it is characteristic
of statesmen play to the preiudices of the prohib
tonists in dry sectors and whisper to the bootleg
provinces of South Bend, Gary and Fl. Wayne that
Volstead ism is the of the land?
just where does the Institution stand on the mat
ter of unemployment, in times when hundreds of
thousands in the state are iobless?
On one matter there will be no questions. In
long record in congress, the Institution never has
failed to boost tariff to grant special privilege
when within it's power; in those years has 1t
failed the vested interests of wealth.
To tear down any institution is a serious matter

Texas Deposits

CULPHUR also has been produced
~ in the past from deposits in Ne
vada, California and Utah, but &C
cording to Taylor, no sulphur was
produced in these states in 1929 or
1880, the last years for which Stats
tics are available.
Sulphur usually is found in the
form of free sulphur, though mixed,
of course, with some impurities. The
sulphur is furnished to industries in
the form of a powder. known tech
nically as flowers of sulphur or IN
the form of fused yellow sticks,
known technically as birthstone
Sulphur also occurs both in the
United States and in other countries
in the form of an iron compound
known as pyrites.
The shipment of sulphur direct
to the consumer amounted in 1923
to 1896, 900 tons, in 1929 to 1,555,000
tons and in 1880 to 1863 900 tons"
Taylor says.
Sulphur used in various indus
tries in 1929 has been estimated as
follows: Heavy chemicals, 100000
tons; fertilizer and insecticides,
415,0OO; pulp and paper, 265,OO0;
explosives, $1,000; dye and coal tars,
100000; rubber, $4,000; electro
chemical, $4,000; paints and var
nishes, 5000, and miscellaneous, 1885,
900.
For use in eleven different major
industries, 8.338OO0 tons of sulphuric
acid, corresponding to an equivalent
in sulphur of 1,335,O00 tons, we're
produced in 1929"
