HIS POSE
AS OMAN
EXPLODED
Prisoner Booked on
Widely Varied
Charges

Posing as a Oman, even
though his credentials were
decidedly phony, brought t.
B. DeBase, Negro, into the
tolls of the law.
In addition to the Oman charge
he faced charge of drunkenness
and disturbing the peace to which
he pleaded not guilty in police
court this morning. The case was
continued until Thursday.
DeBase is said to have made a
purchase of wine at an eastside
cafe last night and left the place
without paying. He then wander
ed into a church and disturbed the
services to such an extent that he
was finally ordered out.
Pinned inside the band of his
trousers was his authority to act
as a federal officer, according to
him. This was a Goodyear In
spector" badge with the sign "G-3"
emblazoned thereon for the edifi-
cation of all beholders. He had
paid ST. for the badge, but it failed
to keep him out of trouble although
it gave him considerable prestige
until minions of the law ended his
brief hour of importance.
Sentences of SIS or seven and a
half days in Jail were imposed on
Jose RojoS, Frank Ramirez and
Virginia Edwards when they plead
ed guilty to drunkenness. j. Ryan
pleaded guilty to shoplifting

Germany out of the League which

Election Law Changes
It Ii now practically certain that
some changes win be suggested In
the election laws-changes that
will tend to eliminate the glaring
errors In the counting and at the
same time speed up the procedure.
No matter what changes are made
in the law. the final responsibility
for Improvement will rest with the
local officials who select those en-
trusted with the work. The tasks
involved should not be entrusted to
citizens simply because they are
tout Of job" The work Is too i'm
portant to place in incompetent
hands. Thousands of dollars have
been expended in recounts and the
glazing errors that have been
found will encourage more con-
tests In the future. In one senator
ial district in Hennepin county
MIR. Kingsley was defeated by 1876
votes, according to the count Of
the judges. In the recount he was
found to have been elected by 1877
votes. In the Stafford King-Lyons
contest there have peen changes
every day, some Of them sizeable.
Expert accountants could take care
of this work in an able and effic-
lent manner with less expense to
the communities and with verified
results. Election boards should be
picked with care and forethought
rather than in the hurried and hap
hazard manner now employed
Bemidji Sentinel.
No Respite For Taxpayers
The saying Is that there Is no
rest for the wicked" What a wick
ed lot the taxpayers must be!
If certain people have their way,
the new taxes being proposed and
the suggested diversion of gas and
motor taxes will not serve to les
sen real estate levies, but to provide
more money for the various gov
.ernmental units to spend.
Clearly It Is up to the taxpayers
to get real vocal in the legislature
this winter If they are not to be
done to death entirely by the tax
eaters.-Duluth Free Press.
Decency Is Winning
The League Of Decency formed
by millions Of Catholics and sup
ported by other millions Of Protes-
tants, has already proved the pow
err Of public pressure.
But recently a moving picture
magazine called attention to the
fact that Hollywood has heard the
voice of protest, and that ever
since the fight began no question
able pictures have been turned out.
This is fine. It is only too bad
that movie magnates did not know
in the first place that the public
wants and will support clean pic
lures. Such pictures as Treasure
Island" Little Women" Judge
Priest" and "The House of Roths-
child" but recently shown in Stay.
ton. prove that clean pictures will
never fail to attract attention and
make good at the box office.
Nothing happening in 1884 has
been more worth while than the
public attack on cheap and vicious
sex pictures. Let us see that the
victory remains won.-Murray
County Herald.
