With Good COMPANIONS

'''ih WV Will f|SihSsss
They are never alone that are
accompanied with noble thoughts.
Some pick their friends and
some are picked as friends by
others.
Life is like a trip in a car. You
never seem to be going very fast
if you start fast.
Even when you have plenty of
money you sometimes don't know
how to spend lonesome evening.
Why Fly From the Unhappy?
The state of the unhappy makes
us more sensible of the value Of
the happiness we possess.
Because you are suavely asked
to give your candid opinion, don't
necessarily do it.
Romantic names given children
may plague them in later life.
Distrust Is Your Responsibility
Is it more disgraceful to dis
trust ones friends than to be de-
ceived by them?
Don't play ghost in front of a
man who isn't easily scared.
Do you like to conquer obsta-
cles? Try to get over disliking a
man you have no reason to.
Likes the Velvety Touch
A crouch does not like grouches.
He hates them.
A nature lover is like other low
ers. His love is most ardent when
he doesn't knew much about it.
The deaf aren't entirely unfor-
tunate. Most of our worrying is
caused by the talk we hear.

Why the Stock Slump?

" HO or what is responsible for
W the decided slump in he stock
market is a moot question. In his
recent "fireside chat the President
intimated that Wall Street was to
blame for its own troubles and be-
Titled the effect proposed legislation
would have on the markets and gen.
eral business.
Winthrop w. Aldrich, president of
the Chase National bank, largest
bank in the country, doesn't agree
with Mr.. Roosevelt in this. He says
Wall Street is honest, and lays the
blame for the adverse market situ-
alton on the doorstep of the admin
istration and particularly the securi'
ties and exchange commission.

Divorce Rule Stands

CHURCH laws against remarriage
~ of divorced persons by Episco-
pal clergymen stand unchanged for
at least three years. Proposed lib
eralization of the rule was defeated
by the house of deputies of the
church at the general convention in
Cincinnati. The deputies voted to
continue for another three years the
commission on marriage and d.
vorce,
The defeated proposal would have
permitted bishops to allow Episco-
pal clergymen to solemnize mar
riage of persons, who were divorced
for any cause, after study of each
case.

Palestine Terrorism

r RITISH military authorities took
Il stern measures to suppress the
violence in Palestine, but appar-
emily without success. The Arabs
continued their attacks on the Jew
ish people and buildings and in
Jerusalem began using bombs.
Gen. A. P. Wavell, commander of
the 10000 British troops in Pales-
tine, ordered the homes of Arab
terrorists burned, following the de-
struction of Kalandia airport, near
LYDIA, with an estimated loss of
$4,000.
Sixty persons were arrested for
breaking the twenty-four hour cur
few which amounts to virtual mar
tial law.
If this sort of thing keeps up,
Great Britain is likely to make Pal
estine a crown colony instead of q
mandate.

New Budget Figures

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT found
his estimate of $418, 900, 900 as the
probable deficit for 1888 fiscal year
was much too low. So he gave out
new budget figures putting the prob
able deficit at nearly 700 millions.
And it admittedly will be much
greater unless the executive and
congress achieve very considerable
economies.

What of
the Creed?

Dealers cannot avoid being the rad
ical party. l have said this many
times in these columns and it is
more evident now even than when |
reported upon the situation earlier.
The conservatives can and should
have a voice in their government
even if it is only an opposition voice
that constitutes balance-wheel.
Proceeding from that premise,
therefore, there can be little argu-
ment that the principles which the
Republicans advocate should be
drawn from principles of govern
mental policies that have proved
sound. That is to say, the Repub-
Leans cannot afford to attack Mr..
Roosevelt on everything he has
done, but they can tear him po-

is too much gov
eminent in business. The govern
ment itself is engaged in many lines
of commerce and industry and it is
breaking down private enterprises
in countless ways. I regard the
function of government as a thing
to be confined to matters and enter
prises which individuals cannot do
as individuals. We might use the
postal service as an example. No
one would be so silly as to say that
the postal service could be operated
satisfactorily in any other way than
as an agency of the federal govern
ment. In contradiStinction to the
postal service, however, we can
point to such things as the building
of model homes for private citi-
zens. I think the government has
no business at all in that field. This
is so, first, because of the tremen-
dous waste accompanying any gov
ornamental operation and, second,
for the reason that private persons
who are holders of funds whether
the amount is great or small recog-
nize real estate mortgages as sound
investments. / need not mention
the red tape or the politics that
can choke up any such thing as
government housing development.
l could go on and mention numer-
GUS other general principles upon
which there can be honest diff
ferences of opinion. 1t is upon these
questions where differences are hon.
est and not created for political rea-
sons that the Republican party
should express itself. 1t ought to
do this if it is going to be repre-.
sentative of opposition sentiment.

WAYS, Ca, February 23.-In this
South Georgia community on the
banks Of the Ogeechee River, Henry
Ford will carry to fruition his dream
Of an ideal industrial community sur
rounded by farms able to sustain It.
As part Of his broad program for
this little town 10 miles from Saw
annah, Georgia's chief seaport, the
Detroit automobile manufacturer an
nounced today, an automobile parts
factory will be erected.
"weT have an industry here" he
said. "A craftsman Is at work now
on preliminary plans. Automobile
parts will be manufactured, but we
haven't determined what kind. It all
depends on what fits"
The plant will employ the people
Of this community, which formerly
knew farming, fishing and numbering
as its chief source Of income, and will
be closely afiiliated with Ford's newly
completed manual arts school here.
I'VE will aim, as we do in our other
plants, to have the proper proportion
Of people Of all ages" said the manu-
facturer, whose Winter home on
nearby Richmond Plantation was I'M
ished few days ago.
I'VE won't have to import anybody
either. Folks right here will have
plenty Of skill. Everybody will have
. part IN farming whether he owns
. farm jointly or In his own name.

Asks Woman's Party to
Withdraw Aid on Eve of
Appeal in Patricide.

On the eve Of court action at
Wise, Va, next Monday on her ap-
peal from conviction Of the murder
Of her father, Edith Trigg Maxwell
has shaken up her defense counsel, 1t
was learned today.
Under the new set-up, Charles
Henry Smith, Washington and Alex
andria criminal lawyer, will act as her
only attorney.
She has asked the National Wom-
ans Party, which has been assisting
her since her conviction, to drop its
legal efforts In her behalf. AS re-
suit, former State Senator M. j. Full
ton, who was engaged by the party,
has been withdrawn from defense
counsel.
Miss Maxwell's uncle, A. T. DotSon,
also has withdrawn.
These changes, reported at Rich
mond, were confirmed by Smith at
Alexandria today. Smith, engaged i'll
case now being heard in the Alex
andria Corporation Court, said that he
had been advised of the changes by
telephone and that he has not had an
opportunity to talk to his client since
the defense realignment was made.
Until I have an opportunity to go
to Richmond" Smith said, there is
nothing much that I can say about
the case. 1t is true that the National
Wonans Party has been asked to sus-
pend its activities in behalf Of Miss
Maxwell and that its attorney and
Mr.. Dotson have withdrawn"
Smith indicated that he will 20 to
Richmond upon conclusion of the

11AWA|T SENTENCE
IN ELECTION FRAUD
Government Turns to IS
Indicted in Kansas City
Scandal.
BY the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, February 23.-
Eleven out Of the first II persons sum-
moned to trial on charges Of vote
fraud conspiracy awaited sentence to-
day as the Federal Government turned
to the original list of rs indicted for
more trials.
The score" to date Is: Seven con-
victed, 4 pleading no defense and
3 on which jury was unable to
agree.
Six Democrats and one Republican
have been convicted of conSpiring to
defraed more than 200 voters in two
of Kansas City's 460 precincts by bal
lot box stuft1ng, ballot tampering and
intimidation last November 3.
A jury yesterday convicted all five
defendants before 1t. One was John
A. Luteran. Democratic precinct cap
tain, who was identified by his at
torney, William G.. Boatright, during
questioning as member of the goat
faction" The goats" are the fol-
lowers of the powerful Democratic Or
ganization leader, T. j. (Boss) Pender-
CAST, as contrasted with the rabbits" !"
Democratic followers of Representa-
tive Joseph B. Shannon. Shannon
was witness before the grand jury.
A previous jury convicted two men
but were unable to agree on three
other defendants who may be re-
tried. The three Republicans and
one Democrat who pleaded no de-
fense, placing themselves at the mercy
of the court, will be sentenced Thurs
day along with the seven convicted.
Judge Merrill E. Otis most extreme
choice could be $4,000 fine or 10
year sentence-or both.
I'VE are ready to go ahead" United
States District Attorney Maurice M.
Milligan said as he eyed the names OF
the next group of six, three Democrats
and three Republicans.
Judge Otis, against whom Luteran
was quoted by witness as voicing a
vague threat, gave considerable at
tention to the precinct captain In his
jury instructions.
"Luteran conducted himself in
such manner that both Republican
and Democratic women told you they
were terrified of him." the judge said.
