(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Nicaraguan Intervention Now that the smoke of verbal battle in congress has to some extent cleared away we can examine this matter of United States intervention in Nica- ragua and discover for ourselves whether it was justified or not. Survey of the facts leads us to the inevitable conclusion that the landing of marines to preserve order was justified by reason and by precedent and that the United States could have done little else | and Keep faith with Central America and with its own nationals. It is a peculiar thing that most of the critics of intervention have entirely glossed over the fact, or entirely forgotten, that action to protect American lives and property in states subject to disorder is justified by long standing American and other pre- cedents as well as by the implications of the Monroe doctrine. As for this latter point it must be remembered that when we entnciated this now famous principle as applying to the Americas, but particularly to North America, we excluded foreign nations from protecting their nationals. Consequently in disor- dered times it has been the custom for these na- tions to notify the United States that their nation- als were endangered, leaving it up to us to protect the nationals of every other nation, besides those of our. own. Thus, when marines landed at Managua it was not as representatives of the United States alone, “but as a police force for the protection of all na- tionalities. be entirely practical at the present time, but it| shows that someone is on the right track and that) eventually someone will perfect a small, light | receiving set that will do all that this one is claimed to do. With all officers so equipped, the} apprehansion of criminals and the maintaining of order should become simpler and far more sure. The Senate Rules | Vice President Charles G. Dawes has not pro-} gressed very far in his fight against the unreason- | able and foolish senate rules. So far he has been like Don Quixote tilting at windmills and failing! to down his adversaries, Yet his day will come, for | the citizens are beginning to realize what a monu-} mental farce some of these rules are. | For instance, Senator Bruce of Maryland wanted | consideration for a certain bill he had introduced. It looked as if the bill would have to go over tem- | porarily. So Senator Bruce calmly engineered a} one-man filibuster that tied up the senate business other than his own, and in general so blocked prog- | ress that the day was lost. | Times without number in the past have filibusters contiued for days, lasting until the end of certain | sions, in fact, in successful efforts of an organ- | ized minority to block certain legislation. Our his- tory is full of such foolishness. Why can’t these rules be changed? They are} surely outworn and are undoubtedly inimical to the best interests of this nation. It is time something was done. | | With the rejection by Peru of the latest proposal of Secretary Kellogg for an adjudication of the| Tacna-Arica affair, the status of the situation has returned to that obtaining before the United States undertook its ill-starred effort to mediate the long | standing feud between Peru and Chile. It is our opinion that the Tacna-Arica dispute has its being only in the racial characteristics of the | peoples involved and that it will be virtually im-! possible for an outside nation to accomplish any- | thing but the losing of prestige for itself. | Editorial Comment _ | The Year’s Farm Prospects | (St. Paul Dispatch.) | In his address before the 300 delegates .in attend- ance at the 58th annual meeting of the Minnesota ‘ Agricultural society, Paul N. Kirk, United States | ! Agricultural statistician, pointed out that although |Minnesota has produced more flax, buckwheat, | potatoes, apples and livestock and fully as much eggs and dairy products, and very nearly as much | corn and other grains as it did in 1925, the farm value fell $5,666,000 for 1926, the 1925 production | $444,795,000 for 1926. He poi How is it possible to circumvent this obligation we owe other nations, in view of the Monroe doc- trine, even if we would stretch the point for our- ‘ There is no way, short of dishonor, and that course is not open to America, Money For Helium ~ President Coolidge, with an eye to the future, has asked for over a million dollars for the construc- tion of manufacturing plants for the rare and valuable gas, helium, which has done so much to #fiike air travel, safer and easier. Immediately critics arise and contend that he is nullifying his wm economy program with such a request, that we donot need helium for navy airships. They cite the Shenandoah disaster and other airship disasters to prove that the airship is unsatisfactory, and of little value in military maneuvers. But these critics lose sight of a fact that Mr. Coolidge has evidently kept well in mind, and that is the value of the airship in peacetime and in the future development of aviation. Mr. Coolidge sees that private capital would find it hard to. obtain helium, so he wants the government to build helium plants for the use of the navy, but of such a capa- city that private airship operators cduld obtain supplies of the rare gas for their vessels at a reasonable price and in proportions that woutd not cripple the supply necessary for adequate main- tenance of the fighting forces of the country. Tt. is estimated that helium raised the safety factor of the airship some 500 per cent. Previous to the helium era, the gas, hydrogen, was used. This was a very inflammable explosive gas and the history of the earlier days of aviation is full of disasters where airships were blown to bits through its use. Helium has enabled the airship to reason a very Ign peak of development and an adequate supply * of the gas is necessary to guarantee the perfection of the future. President Coolidge’s request for more helium plants should be granted at once. iH whos t(D tee Radio Sets "Phe city of Passaic, N. J., is testing out a radio set that may go far to counteract the crime wave by ‘the quick dissemination of warnings and in- : fgppation from central headquarters. It is a tiny no bigger than a cigaret case and receives ave length of 15 meters, the aerial being the 6fficer’s badge and the warning alarm, for the ol Fr to listen in, being given by a little red lamp. the tests are successful over a considerable _ period of time then all traffic officers and many patrolmen in isolated districts will:be equipped |. .with the device which would then furnish instanta- “Heous communication with officers at strategic speints throughout the city. Thus, if a holdup was ‘Feported, headquarters would immediately broad- cast the description of the thugs and the cat they ‘were eseaping in and their probable course. Every ) tefficer would be listening in within = wide radius “and almost as soon as it takes to read this para- ph, tie whole force would be in possession of . facts and be on the lookout for the suspects. i “Of course, it’s only a one way radio. The offi- oers can’t “talk back” to headquarters, but that PSZEad set be of mach vatve anyway. The receiving tet being 20 small and light would be ideal for the d service providing the tests show it entirely feasible. YY Peshape this particular model will not prove to decline mugt be added the decline in the purchasing power of the farmer’s dollar. With this as a base he ventures some prediction these words: | The combined purchasing power of the crops { produced in 1926, the livestock to be sold in 1927, as well as the revenue from dairy and poultry will hardly equal that for the calendar year, at~least not for the first six months, unless prices for all products are relatively higher. From a standpoint of world production it would not appear that any material increase in the price of farm products can be expected during, at least, the first half of the present year. Should the outlook for 1927 crops be improved, which would appear probable, tak- ing all things into consideration, this would in- still confidence during the second half of 1927. This is the situation that confronts agriculture and the business world of the Northwest, with Con- gress moving toward some form of farm relief. Mr. Kirk wisely rejects legislation based on the | idea of governmentally controlled acreage. “A mandate from the government that agriculture must provide a certain per cent of the food of the world or that manufacturers should limit their production to a certain amount,” he says, “would be met with grumblings and discontent.” The only kind of legislation that is sure to be effective is that which is based squarely on the fact that a surplus exists and will continue to do so. Gentlemen Farmers Also Pressed (New York Times.) A decision by the Board of Tax Appeals will make life look bleaker than it did before for the gentleman farmer. In behalf of the late Reginald C. Vanderbilt it was claimed that his farm at Sandy Point had been conducted at a loss of some $90,000 in three years, which loss ought to be deducted from his gross income for taxation pur- poses. But the Board of Appeals held that such a farm was not “a business conducted for profit.” That seems sensible enough as a matter of fact in view of the big yearly deficits, but as a matter of law it bears hard on the income-tax payer. | Perhaps in this incident we find an added reason why former Governor Lowden of Illinois has s0 keen a sympathy for the downtrodden farmer. He himself is a gentleman farmer, fortunately with means large enough to wear that title without going bankrupt. For all we know, his farms may be run for profit, whether any is made or not, but it would be hard to convince the tax authorities that they are. Perhaps if Farmer Lowden could show large callouses on his hands and complain of rheumatism got by bending over his plow handies, he might be allowed to deduct from his inccme tax any losses that he may have incurred as an agri- eulturist. ‘ a Another reason why the Vanderbilt deduction was not allowed was that his occupation was not exclusively that of farming. He had an office in| New York. It was in evidence also that he fre-| quently “bought and sold considerable volumes of securities.” That is the fatal mark of the gentle- man farmer. No honest-to-God worker on a Kansas farm would ever be kept out’ of his legal rights by any such reason. i ‘ Minn., after barber, was credited with 86-cupe, which was four caps below the mark us Comstock of Fergus Falls, a Harry Smet, Winn worth, England, is that it has 350 ‘The proud boast of the city of Ems. having a farm value of $450,461,000 as against |* ts out that to this |, as to the farm situation for the present year, in| | !

Wotton: Character of a Happy Life. |- Book Review | ¢—___________ The story of “Vivian,” 1 of H. L. Gates, asks and answers the question, “What kind of wife will the modern girl make?” ‘Vivian is an ultra-modern girl of the middle class who finds her excitement in flirta- ions and laughs at love. She is proud and confident of her beauty, and has a kiss for anyone who interests her. Despite her ideas of freedom, Viv- ian lives up to her own ideals of what is fair to the man she will mar- ry. When she becomes engaged to Walter Tarvers, a young clerk, she is very happy until she discovers that her fiance objects to her flirtations, innocent enough, she believes, and has an old-fashioned idea that his wife is his property. Misunderstanding at home - also adds to Vivian's troubles. After an all-night party Vivian is accused of lack of virtue by her father and her fiance. She leaves home and breaks her engagement. Calling Norman Foster, the young man who accompanied her on the party the night before, Vivian re- bels against the injustice and de- clares her intention of living up to the general opinion of herself. Foster will not hear of this, and asks Vivian to marry him... Following their marriage Vivian learns that Foster is the son of a millionaire family, socially prominent in the city. How she wins his aris- tocratic mother, holds her place among the socially elect, and. makes a F rire of her marriage speaks well of the modern girl. Vivian is published by Barse & Hopkins and sells for $2. | ——— | Radio’s - (By The Associated Press) ‘The Three Twins,” 2 musical farce which offered numerdéus tuneful numbers about 18 years ago, has been resurrected for the -weekly musical comedy and light opera hour which will be heard from WCCO, the Twin from 9:30 p. m. to 10 Pp. m, The presentation will be by orchestra, chorus and soloists, novel TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1927 of the dear old scrub-| -| tion will broadcast a program in commemoration of Robert Burns’ an- niversary.
