CUSTER MERIT.ED

Decision of a superior court Judge IN
Los Angeles yesterday, that Judge Gavin
W. Craig of the appellate court is not
entitled to hold his office following his
recent conviction in the federal courts
for bribery, is one that will meet with
the full approval Of all who are interest
ed in keeping our courts and public Off
cials on an honest plane.
Craigs contention was that the offense
for which he was convicted, while held as
bribery in the federal court, was only
contempt of court under the statutes of
California Judge Jones of Lake coun-
ty, presiding in the Los Angeles court,
held that Judge Craig is amenable to the
federal laws as well as to the state laws
The mere conviction of a felony, even
though the conviction might later be set
aside by higher court, nullifles the use
fulness of judge and Craig should have
resigned when he was declared guilty.
Judges, like Caesars wife, must be
"above suspicion" if the integrity of the
courts is to be maintained. In refusing
to resign after his conviction, Judge
Craig stamps himself as an undesirable,
if he had not already done so by the acts
which finally brought him before the
bar of justice on a criminal charge.
A right thinking man in Judge Craig's
place, would have recognized that an at
tempt to retain his office after con-
viction is a grave injustice to other
Judges for it has tendency to weaken
public respect for the courts by causing
the unthinking to believe that all judges
are corrupt.
The best proof of the type of man
Judge Craig is lies in the fact that he
has had to be kicked out of an office to
which by all moral consideration he was
no longer entitled.

BY United Press

WASHINGTON, July 2. U.P)-
Sen. Carter Glass tDem) Virginia,
has been in congress for "a years
but he doesn't forget his old news
paper days. 1t makes him angry
to see men striking for five day
weeks and six hour days.
7 used to work 18 hours a day
he said. I've gone home to bed a
thousands timys when the sun was
just rising over the Amherst hills
on the other side of the James riv-
er."
Glass still owns the morning and
evening papers in his home town
of Lynchburg and newspapers are
his chief interest outside of bank
ing legislation.
While reminiscing with neWspa-
permen. he pulled back the cuff of
his coat to show a scar on his wrist
that he received when he caught
his arm in a printing press just
after he first went to work as a
seven-year-old printers devil.
1t took Glass only two years to
get his union card as a Journey
man printer. Union rules usually
required four years experience but
Glass started young and learned
fast.
He was MADE a pressman and
then shop foreman and finally
shifted to reporting. He Went up
the ladder on the news side, be-
coming city editor, editor and final
ly owner of the Lynchburg News.
There wasn't much difference be-
tween being city editor and report
er AS city editor. he did most of
the reporting, wrote the headlines
and filled in skeleton news dis
patches received from press serv-
ices.
In those days the Lynchburg
News had a circulation of LOO
daily and yearly gross receipts
about equal to half weeks income
today. The paper now has 10000
subscribers.
There would be more. too, "
Glass said, IF I would stick to my
business at home"
The paper is run by GLASS; two
sons and a nephew.

Miss Dietrich is quite as handsome
as every one says she is. Her hair is
gold-not platinum white. or dirty

and slightly pointed. Her mouth is
exactly as it is on the Screen-and
she is smaller and simmer than you
might suppose.

GUARDSMEN AGAIN.
TRAMP TO HARLAN
Officers in County Deny Dis.
order, but Governor Sees
Terror Reign.
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFORT, KY. September 28.-
National Guardsmen tonight advanced
on what Gov. Ruby Laffoon calls Har-
Ian County's "reign of terror" over
roads made familiar to them by two
other marches this year.
Although Harlan County judges and
peace officers said there was no civil
disorder in the rich soft coal fields,
the Governor ordered the occupation
after hearing United Mine Workers
of America denounce conditions.
Adjt. Gen. Henry H. Denhardt said
at least half of his expedition will oc-
cupy the county-theater of violence
in labor, political and factional strife
for a century-tonight. Denhardt said
the union men gave the Governor
"afidavits concerning the terrible con-
ditions in the county and after hear
ing the testimony the Governor de-
cided to protect the lives of the citi-
zens of the county it would be neces-
sary TO send troops
Howard Williams, Negro, told the
Governor deputy sheriffs beat him
Wednesday night. took him to the
Virginia line and told him to stay out
of the county. Gov. Laffoon said he
received scores" of kilograms and
telephone calls about Harlan condl-
tions. asking for troops.
Judge James M. Gilbert Of the
Harlan circuit said at his Pineville.
KY, home that there was no disorder.
: He summoned A. J. Pinko, labor or
ganizer, who has been quoted in re-
ports of trouble. Harlan County At
torney H. M. Fuson said at Harlan:
I'VE know of no disorders of any
kind" County Judge Morris Saylor
said he has checked all sections and
that there was no trouble Saylor said
no eviction suits had been filed by coal
companies, as charged in complaints
revealed by Denhardt.
Reign of terror" has been a key
word for Harlan County in official
| documents in Kentucky this year. The
Governor adopted the phrase when he
sent Denhardt with 700 soldiers to
regulate the August primary election.
4 The general is under indictment in
! Harlan County as a result of that oc-
cupation, accused of bringing his
| troops in defiance of an injunction
obtained by the sheriff against it.
Denhardt announced that the August
occupation thwarted plot to steal the
August Democratic primary for Lieut..
Gov. A. B. Happy" Chandler, candi-
date of faction bitterly hostile to the

supreme bounce landed outside of the
door.
Miss Dietrich seems TO be enjoying
her work with her new director. And
Mr.. Borzage, recently busy with War;
ner's "Shipmates Forever" (as you re-
member if you saw him battling with
the heat down at Annapolis this Sum-
mer), seems to be enjoying working
with Dietrich. After each scene she
comes over to him and they go into
a huddle. They joke, they kid, they
laugh.

can happen out here. Wanna Duck
