Aft during the period of the oil scandals in, Washington end the consequent attack upon Attorney-General Daugherty, President Coolidge sat with a watchful eye on the situation, and when it came time to act, he acted with firmness and fearlessness. He refused to make wholesale discharges with- cut reason for them. He stood by Grover Cleveland’s fam- 4g stand. When he was asked to discharge an_ official against whom vile rumors had been circulated he replied: “I canriot afford to find a man guilty on general denunciation.” DETROIT Kresge Bldg. » # Nevertheless President, Coolidge was assailed for inac- “tivity; he has been virtually charged in the Democratic na- 4 tional platform of shielding criminals: Yet the special prosecutors whom the Prestident named = to go into the bottom of the oil exposure ‘have secured crim- * inal indictments of former Secretary Fall, Sinclair and the : two Dohenys from a federal grand jury. The same corps of attorneys placed on the case by the President threw the - validity of the Teapot Dome and California leases into the federal court by injunction, there to be tried out on their merits. The President did not hesitate to ask Mr. Daugherty to go when he felt the Attorney-General could no longer * yonder the service that might be expected of the Attorney- General.

THE BEST NEWS The election news, the cyclones and the labors of the = Democratic national convention do not furnish optimistic ct a atts a ea = NA ER at EE ARR ‘ J : 1oading for summer days. But the bright spot in the news ot the week comes from all parts of western North Dakota. Jt comes in reports that the crop prospects are the best since 1915. Already western North Dakota is assured of a feed crop, rn ‘mportant element in the section where dairying is in- cre°sing and livestock is an important part of the farm oper- ; tions, A fine grain crop, which now seems in sight, will be of much assistance to western North Dakota in her march forward, but already it is assured that she will not take a backward step this year. CORNER British rubber growers, who produce 72 per cent of the world’s rubber, are forming a new selling combine to control world supply, according to the Wall Street Journal. ‘Americans are the largest consumers of rubber. Only two ways of protecting them from the high prices that in- evitably result from organized near-monopoly. The first is rrtificial rubber, already accomplished, but price is prohibi- five for auto tires. The second is to grow rubber on a big scale ourselves. Our best bet is the rapidly growing rubber plantations in the Philippine islands. Should be encouraged. BUILDING One industry that hasn’t slipped is building. For May the 157 leading cities report new building permits 10 per cent more than in May, 1923. Possibly increased prices rep- recent the 10 per cent gain, but the actual physical volume of building is about the same as a year ago, and that means it couldn’t be much more. - The nation is spending three and a half billion dollars a yeaf*for new buildings, including homes. This pace, con- tir , will eventually lower rents. =e nae HOW? Germany is buying from other countries about 60 mil- lion dollars worth of goods a month in excess of what she’s selling to her export customers. This puts her in the hole 720 million dollars a year. Until the situation is reversed and Germany builds up favorable trade balances by exporting more than she im- ports, there will not be much paid in the way of reparations. Cash, not oratory and conferences, pays indemnity. LEAK Three years ago, 60 per cent of the taxes paid by Amer- jeans went to the national government, 40 per cent to cities, counties and states. ‘The tables are reversed now. Uncle Sam gets 40 per cent, Jocal government 60. This is the real taxation menace. Keep an eye on spend- ing by Congress, but don’t forget local tax-eaters. 5 FACES 2 Human face is gradually becoming longer, claims the British scientist, Sir Arthur Keith.

They are, presented here in order that readers may have both sides: our of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. THE CONSERVATIVE A conservative is a person who dees not believe that because an idea is new it is necessarily good. He does not believe that excogita- tion is the answer to the universe. He tbelieves there ig also experi- erce. Fresh varnish does not ne- cessarily mean sound wood. All radicals and some of the lib- erals think such a person is politi- cally immoral. He is a tory squire. He grinds with the rents. He shoots the man who kills a rabbit. He sends the widow off the place, and takes away her .turnips and her two chickens. He shaves ‘his coin. He beats his wife and drinks himself under the table every evening. The radical has a halo. The lib- eral is morally ‘ious. Simply ‘because the radical wantg to de- stroy what is and the liberal wants to change jt into another form these two classes of political activ- A man who believes ‘hour rule in the steel industr: ‘ked, that cOmpulsory cheap | is a blessing, that sweat shops are the foundation of sound life, that armed force should protect the exploitation of the many by the few—this is the man in mind when the conservative mentality is considered.

They servatives and liberals do not dis- agree as to ends diesirable. They have different. ideas a9 to methods of ‘attaining the ends and both are needed in making decisions. It ig time for the country to un- derstand that in the moral political equation the true conservative needs no more apologies than the true liberal. The radical is as much out of tionality as the type ot person described above. Prog- ress is by urge and check, stimu- lation of ideas, restraint in action, vividness of perception and caution in action. ‘The conservatives might go too slowly. The liberals might go too rapidly. If they are honest and meet in compromise we get about what the nation can endure. If all the liberal ideas. could have immediate effect we- might bave confusion. The human being is conventional, habit ridden, hard to change. The conservative says “Wait a minute.” It is a beneficial check. It is a needed one. It f§ more than a check. It is also con- structive! It aims at betterment and oftentimes ‘by methods which easier of adoption and absorp- tion than are the methods proposed by. experimental liberalism and al- ways, we would’aay, than the meth- cds proposed by doctrinarie radi- calism.

They had just shrunk up. They climbed to the window sill where Johnny Jump Up was wait- ing and all three went down the rose vine into the magic garden. Tommy Titmouse was there watching for them. “You don’t need any tickets for your journey /to- night,” he said. “Because you are going to the same place you were last night. Down south!” All three got on Tommy . Tit- mouse’s back and the little bird ‘flew away and away and away till he came to the south in. \ This time he took them to a place where there were a lot of trees set out in even rows. “Do you know what asked Johnny Jump. Up. “It looks Pike grandma's fapple orchard,” said Nancy. “Now look!” said Johnny again as Tommy Titmouse flew down and lighted on one of the boughs. The. moon was as bright as.day and it didn’t take the Twins long to dis- cover that great golden oranges were hanging all about them. “Why, it’s an orange tree!” cried Nick. “Yes, this is an orange orchard,” said the little fairy man. “If you look again you will see that aM the oranges are not yellow. The yellow ones are ripe and ready to pick. But some are still green and won't be ripe for some time. They are dif- ferent from apples, for apples get ripe all at the same time.” #Are those stoves?” asked Nancy curiously, pointing to queer little iron things on the ground, “Sort of,” said Johnny. “They are called smudge pots and they have a queer use. You know that frost spoils oranges, just as it sweetens apples. And, although the south is nearly always warm, still Jack Frost does come snooping around some- times with his nuisance fairies, blowing their cold breath on the fruit wherever they get a’ chance.” “What have smudge pots got, to do’ with Jack Frost?” asked *Nick. “A lot!” said -Johnny. “Frost doesn’t come: where it is smoky. suppose that is because the frost fairies can’t see exactly where to blow their breaths. These little stoves or smudge pots make an aw- ful smoke when they are lighted, and so the frost can’t come down and hurt,,the orange trees, They" that . is?” but pretty dirty.” Tommy Titmouse flew away then.!

Tickets For Dem Meet Run Fifteen Days By Harry B. Hunt NEA Service Writer, New York, July 1.—The Demo- cratic committee, in preparing for the New York convention, foresaw a long drawnout siege. Tickets of ad- migsion to the big battle carry cou- pons for 15 days. ‘This’ provides for a longer session than that attending the record dead- lock in Baltimore in 1912 when Champ Clark, with a majority vote in his favor, was unable to pile up the necessary two-thirds and went down to defeat when the deadlock breke in favor of Woodrow Wilson. Just as Clark held a majorfty at Balttimore, but lost the nomination, so. are McAdoo and Smith likely to hold a majority at some time during the balloting in New York, gnly to find the necessary 732 votes still be- yond attainment. The accumulating bitterness in the battle between these two camps each of which will at least hold a vote, sufficient to veto the hopes of the other, makes the nomination of either of these first ballot leaders most improbable. Early maneuvering among dele- rution leaders makes it appear thar Ralston may be the first benefjciary of a conSiderable part of the McAdoo strength if and when the breakup begins. ws ~~ Hey, YP THeee Gan Cov PLAY Sove MUSICAL “Those are pineapples,” said John-j’ >Jevil-doer only in the- want of oppor- Ralston is second ‘choice for a very’ consiflerable block of McAdoo delegatts, particularly from the mid- cle west and ‘south.

With such a-plank adopted, they feel that. Ralston, next to McAdoo offers the best chance as a candidate who can stand on it sympathetically and at the same time hold other elc- ments of support necessary to carry on election. .

How- ever, when’ she repeatéd the ques- tion, I said: asiat . “Well, I heard you say. many times that you couldn’t understand why I married Jack when I could have mar- ried Karl—that you considered Karl the most splendid man in the world; and that you also could not conceive a girl marrying a poor man, When you annexed the most splendid. man. in the world with one of its great fortunes, I ¢hqught your ambition was satisfied.” Alice, little Marquise, . stamped with rage. “And you think,” >she said, her voice thick, and trembling, . “that Karl Whitney. still, loygg;you and is perhaps. marrying me, simply- be- cause he wants. to benear you and to know about you.” . fairly “I think nothing of the kind. 1 think Karl is very fond of you.
