MAXWELL VERDICT CALLED

think it both fitting and proper
for some missionary society in the
United States to put forth f. bit of
effort to civilize some of the human
race right here at home as we'll as
abroad, especially down in the vicin-
ity of Wise, Va
Once in while we hear what we,
the common horde, believe to be an
unfair verdict handed down to some
individual in some court of law in
our country. But of all such cases
1 think that the verdict of first de-
gree murder returned in the case
of Edith Maxwell was without ex-
ception the most unfair and unjust.
If the facts in that case, as
brought out in the trial and pub
ilShed in the newspapers were even
half true, her 11-year old sisters
testimony alone should have cleared
her. I believe that the verdict re-
turned, in that case, showed the
workings of ignorance and jealousy,
and nothing else. Just because this
girl was ambitious for the better
things in life and an education, far
superior to their own, her own peo-
pie had malice in their hearts for
her; when they got the chance,
they blasted her life forever.
I ask in all fairness just what that
girl was supposed to do when the
drunken brute of a man she was
forced by fate to call her father, set
upon her with butcher knife and
whip, with all indications that he

ADVOCATES WINNING
JAPAN'S FRIENDSHIP
BY Clinton Scott

BY Clinton Scott
The sensational press of America
is trying to drive us into a senseless
war with Japan. After long period
of most friendly relations with
Japan, numerous incidents of late
threaten to destroy that friendship
Unthinking people everywhere have
invented and digested incredible lies
about Japan. When the japanese
became involved in the unfortunate
incident in Shanghai three or four
years ago. numerous acquaintance
of the writer talked and acted as if
we would be at war with Japan
within few days, at least within
fortnight.
America sells more goods to Japan
than it does to all the rest of Asia
including the South Seas and Aus
tralia. Japan buys cotton, auto
mobiles, machinery and countless
other products from America. We
buy most of Japan's silk. Our mu-
tual trade enricheS both countries.
Incidentally Japan always has had
an unfavorable trade balance, buy
ing more goods than she sells. We
sell far more to Japan than she sells
to us. Still the sight of cheap
trinkets and the like from Japan
set people to shouting about our own
markets.
Incidentally, since japanese light
bulbs have been practically barred
from America one of our most
prominent bulb manufacturers has
dropped the quality of his product,
whereas before he had to make
decent product to meet Japanese
competition with quality instead of
price.
Suppose Canada was the Soviet
Union, aggressive and Communistic.
Would we turn down an opportun-
ity to form buffer states of Quebec
and Ontario to force any possible
war to be fought there? And if
Mexico were in a turmoil prevent
ing us from making use of much
needed raw materials and potential
markets with European nations anx-
iously stirring hostilities against us
what would we do? Furthermore,
if European nations were to be kept
from partitioning Mexico among
themselves only by a show of our
force, would we sit idly by? Finally,
consider how all this should be we're
the United States the size of Cali
fornia, populated with 100000

would we feel if the meddling ma

race while both ourselves and the
Mexicans were of the white race?

OTHER OPINION
For a Single Budget
TMuncie Press1

President Roosevelt cannily detects
the rapidly spreading revolt through
out the nation against the gigantic
Federal expenditures that are rush
ing the country rapidly down the
road to bankruptcy, and so, in his
recent Atlanta speech he devotes
much of his time to minimizing the
danger from that course and in
promising to check the colossal
spending of the peoples money.
So, it was natural that Mr.. Roose-
Welt should attempt to stem the tide
of acute disfavor that the Federal
governments extravaganza has
caused.
Eut the President did not say how
much the deficit would be decreased
nor definitely when; neither did he
say when the nation can look for
ward to a balanced budget-meaning
by that a single budget.

suicide. Why should the western
nations continue to dictate to
billion AsiaticS? They have a most
sensitive sense of pride. Would it
not be better to win the friendship
rather than the enmity of the
billion inhabitants of Asia?
In California the writer witnessed
a startling anti-Japanese phobia.
Certain acquaintance were actually
afraid of living near Lands End
beyond San Francisco's Golden
Gate. They were afraid of being
exposed to japanese raids. One
man told of how the removal of gold
from the San Francisco mint to
Denver frustrated a Japanese plot
to pounce on Frisco, rape the treas
ury and then scat quickly. Another
gentleman was sincerely terrified
because he was certain Japan
planned to occupy the United States
as far east as the Rocky Mountains.
The japanese are going to overWhelm
the Californians, they say. But
more japanese have left California
than have entered of late. And
Californian japanese have witnessed
startling decline in birth rate.
To top it off, the Exclusion Act
was passed, bluntly telling the Jap
anese they were far inferior race
That cut deep. Though no super
patriot will admit it, the Gentle
mems Agreement practically
stemmed japanese immigration.
But we blunderingly insulted the
JapS. Do they show their inferior
ity when they equal England's cot
ton cloth output with but one-f1fth
as many looms. Nor are they actu-
ally sweating their workers. Eng
land fairly begged for the superior
looms Japan originated.
Let's try to understand Japan and
win its good faith and friendship.

Don probably is the zaniest zaney
who ever came out of Indiana. His
humor is to writing and drawing
what that of Groucho Marx is to
the screen. Some humorists are
like left-handed pitchers. They are
so deft that the reader must be
very smart and very attentive to get
them. Herold's stuff, whether in
words or pictures, comes right over
the plate. The laughs he raises are
not intellectual smokers, but hearty
outlaws.
1t would be a difficult life in
newspaperdom if the Frank Elliotts

job. The men who handle what
is called publicity for Indiana and

important institutions. The faculty
men and women who create the
news could hardly be expected to
send it out, being too modest in the
first place and usually unable to
recognize it in the second. A man

about it. That's where the school

out of the fire but it wasn't funny.
There was another time when
Valparaiso was booked for the open
ing game. They arrived with about
thirteen players and six headgears
and gave Notre Dame the busiest
afternoon they had all season. The
amusing part of the Southern

NEW YORK, September 24.-The
stock market edged quietly higher for
the second successive session today, as
Wall Street was a little more hopeful
of compromise of the Ethiopian dis
pute, and found trade news bright.
Traders were still cautious pending
more definite news from Geneva, but
there was sufficient buying TO push
much of the list up from fractions TO
more than point. The turnover was
only about 100000 shares, but the
closing tone was firm.
Utilities joined the advance, as
Wall Street was encouraged by re-

connection with administration of the

BRITISH CLAIMS.
ON ITALY MOUNT
Collections for Goods Difficult
Because of Rome Exchange
Restrictions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 24.-British
firms are having increasing difficulty
in collecting for goods sold in Italy,
owing to the italian exchange reStric-
tions.
Outstanding British claims under
the Anglo-Italian clearing plan
amounted to El.948,035 (s9,577,02D
for the week ended August %.
This steady expansion of uncleared
balance is causing some concern in
business circles, and is said to be due
partly to excess of British exports to
Italy over Italian exports to Great
Britain.
Another contributory factor is the
way in which part of the Italian ex-
ports to Great Britain are paid for
outside the clearing.
Commenting on the position, the
Financial Times said: There has
been persistent evasion all the time by
Italian exporting firms, and protests
by the British Embassy in Rome have
had little or no effect"
