should have started to deal with
him in the middle Of March 1885.
The Blaises had lived along side

hans for years. When they were
in need of any help they came to
the Galatians; if they wanted a
tool they came to the Galatians;
if they needed anything about The
house that the Galatians had, they
got it. They neighbored with and
visited with the Galatians, coming
to the farm several times a week
the Blaises ate thousands of meals
at the Callahan home, and were
welcome.
The Galatians knew of the
rumored intimate relations of Carl
Bull with the BlaiseS, and were
conscious for years that the
Blaises were spying and reporting
on everybody to Carl Bull, but they
were neighbors, so they ignored all
of that.
And so, the Blaises helped the
Company agent break the locks to
the Callahan home, and moved
into the house where "Moln'
Callahan had worked her life
away, and where they had been
entertained and fed at the Gala
han table upon hundreds and hun
dreds of occasions, where they had
come for accommodations Of one

Gen. johnson Says

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-The memoriaI-or what
ever you call it-of the farm leaders is exactly
100 per cent in that part of it which anayzes the
farm problem and asks business to recognize and try
to help solve it,
The rest OF 1.-THE hasty aSsembage bv politi-
Cal administration of 100 picked leaders exciudins
all put yeS-men; the even more hasty unanimous
underwriting of a partisan formula proposed bv the
administration for solving our greatest economic
problem-that is something else again. 1t NAV be
correct in principle but the method was heller.
SHELTER, unscentif1c and unwise
The Administration may think is has done clever
thing in Cd avoiding direct issue on the Consttu.
ton; Cd proposing stop-gap program of produc.
ton control through soil conservation which will
save Its face and satisfy the farmers; 90 defying
the court on the theory that the new law can't come
up to the court before election and in the mean
time it may be able to change the court
That isn't as clever as it seems. The individual
farmer doesn't want his croppage controlled. He
wants price parity the slogan equality for ag-
riculture" Furthermore, my friend Clay Williams
who ought to know-expressed it long ago. I'm
and the price of agriculture of the field of cut
throat competition"
The farmers plea for industrial help will fall on
receptive ears. If the Department of Agriculture
hadn't treated industry criminal it would be
much further along today.
All OF which adds up to this: The way is now
wide open for the Republicans to offer agriculture
more direct plan, on constitutional formula far
better adapted to the wishes and the extreme in
d1Vlduallsm OF farmers who, being congenital Re-
publicans anyway, will flock back to the ancestral
fold.

That's just one of those chances you have to take in

veto the bonus BILL in spite of its new baby bond

it would be bad politics for him to do otherwise The

Some western Republicans think the Liberty

Van Devanter Buys Farm;
Resignation Hint Revived
3u United Press

VXTASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Re-
Wv ports that Justice Willis
Van Devanter may resign soon
from the Supreme Court were re-
vived today by his purchase of a
farm near Ellicott City, Md.
The farm, described as of 1900
or 400 acres" is beyond easy COM
muting distance from Washington.
Ellicott City is one of the pictur-
esque old villages on a back
route to Baltimore.
Mr.. Van Devanter, at II, is the
oldest member of the court in
years of service and the second
oldest in age. He is three years
the Junior of Justice Louis D.
Brandeis, dean of the liberal fac
ton, who will be 80 this year.
Aside from the purchase and
the fact that Justice Van Devan-
ter has been in poor health. there
was little to substantiate the re-
port. Attaches of the court al
ways decline to discuss such re-
ports and the justice himself could
not be reached. First word of a
resignation usually comes from
the White House, where it is sub
mitted.
GENERAL bills seeking to curb
- the courts power to declare
acts of Congress unconstitutional
are before the House Judiciary
Committee, of which Hatton J.
Summers Cd, Tex is chairman.
Rep. Summers promised his COM
mittee would go into the whole
matter thoroughly

sponsibility of the Federal govern

VXTITHIN two years 100000

en- obtained their bed and board
from the Federal Transient Bu-
reaus in Indiana. Marion County
and indianapolis averaged, $4,000
persons yearly cared for by the
Federal Bureau in hostelries.
If the ratio of 1000 monthly, as
in the first 80 days of the service
of the Community Fund transient
bureau, is continued throughout
1886, it is estimated by social
workers that between 10000 and
$4,000 transients will visit Mrs.
Mahoney's bureau.
Absorption of transients in pri-
vate employment is conceded by
officials as diminishing the case
load in the state and Marion
County and it is believed that a
revived industry will continue to
cut down the number of yellow
slips issued for lodging by Mrs.
Mahoney and other private
agencies Of Indiana.

Tooth extraction and the posi-

Frank M. Cox of the relief de-

The court is almost evenly Gil
vided between conservatives and
liberals. Five-to-four decisions,
with Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes swinging the balance,
have been frequent. Mr.. Van
Devanter has voted against most
New Deal measures.
There has not been a Supreme
Court resignation since the late
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
dramatically laid aside his judicial
robes in 1882.
The resignation of Mr.. Van De-
vanter, if it were to materialize,
would give President Roosevelt his
first opportunity to name mem
Der of the bench. It would also be
the first break in the conservative
ranks of the court since the death
of Chief Justice William Howard
Taft.
HERBERT HOOVER named
= three during his term-C Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes,
Justices Owen j. Roberts and
Benjamin N. Cardozo.
Calvin Coolidge named Justice
Harlan Fiske Stone. Warren G..
Harding named Justices George
Sutherland and Pierce Butler.
Woodrow Wilson named Justices
James G. McReynolds and Louis
D. BrandeiS.
A change of the court just now
might have great significance in
view of the New Deal cases still
to come before the tribunal.

Washington Merry-Go-Round
by DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

VX7ASHINGTON, Jan. 16-The
w boys in the know on Capt.
tol Hill are offering these betting
odds on the bonus bill:
Two to one that, as finally en-
acted, the bill will not be in the
form adopted by the House, but
as revised by the Senate.
A little better than even money
that the President will NOT veto
the act.
The insiders don't claim to
know positively that Roosevelt will
sign the bill. But they are SO
confident he is leaning their way
that they are willing to put up
money.
There are two reasons for their
belief:
Cd Practically unanimous senti-
ment among the Presidents adj
visers that he should climb on the
bonus bandwagoY1;
60 The Presidents private be-
lief that a majority on the SUI
preme Court is being mott
waited by political rather than
legal views in ruling on New Deal
acts. Therefore, it is argued, he
too. might as well be political on
bonus.
There is tremendous pro-bonus
presslIre on the President from
within his inner council. Every
congressional leader, including
Vice President Jack Garner, is
strongly against a veto.
Their argument is that he can't
stop the legislation; therefore
might as well grab the political
capital to be gained by signing it.
The forces opposed to the bonus.
they point out to the President,
are against him anyway, and his
veto of the bonus won't win them
over.
The fact that a White House
representative participated in the
secret conferences which worked
out the revised Senate bill is a sig
nificant indication that this line
of reasoning has carried weight
with Roosevelt.
