Kresge Bldg PAYNE, BURNS & SMITH NEW YORK - : Fifth Ave. Bldg. 2 (Official City, State and County Newspaper) B Blue-bloods of Boston Fred Thompson, the Boston lawyer of profes-| sional prominence and aristocratic lineage who took up the case of Sacco and Vanzetti at a time| when it sorely needed strong legal guidance, has! admitted that his step has cost him both business! and friends, | . However one may feel about the merits of the} Sacco-Vanzetti case, there probably are many whvu! will welcome Thompson's demonstration that the| spirit of some of the old Boston blue-bloods who} risked life, property and social prestige 150 years | ago still lives. ~There is a striking parallel between the experi- | ences of Thompson and James Otis, the revolution- | ary patriot, born in Boston more than 200 years| ago. Otis was an aristocrat, a gentleman of birth,| breeding and culture. But at a time when most of! his kind were remaining loyal to King George IIL and classing themselves as, loyalists or Tories, Otis joined and helped lead the cause of the more lowly colonists. The similarity of the feelings that must have been shared by both Otis and Thompson may be| gathered by a paragraph from the famous speech of Otis against the Writs of Assistance before the Massachusetts superior court in February, 1761. He Said: “E have taken more pains in this case than I ever will take again, although my engaging in this ang another popular cause has raised much re- sentment. But I think I may sincerely declare, that*t cheerfully submit myself to every odious name for conscience’s sake; and from my soul I despise all those whose guilt, malice or folly has made them my foes. Let the consequences be what they will, I am determined to proceed. The only principles of public conduct, that are worthy of a gentleman or a man, are to sacrifice estate, ease, health and applause, and even life, to the sacred calls of his countr: The Rubber Exchange The operation of the ‘Rubber Exchange of New York has proven to be somewhat uncomfortable for Great Britain with her monopoly of the supply of crude rubber, and credit’is due to Secretary of merce Herbert Hoover for the conservation Policy which he instigated about cighteen months @yo.and which has borne fruit in a considerable increase in the use of reclaimed rubber. S$#4is only now that the British rubber producer is realizing that the move was not one of propaganda or ‘bluff, but rather the application of American seen retaliation against an uneconomic pro- on the part of one in temporary control of a,gituation. Certainly whatever may be said in fa- vor of the inauguration of a restriction policy on the part of the British five years ago, there has been ‘hothing in the last three years to justify its continuance. Knowing this the British rubber in- terests must feel rather uncomfortable as they realize that America has been able to go on with- out the usual imports of raw rubber. It has been in this situation that the Rubber Ex- change has demonstrated its usefulness. Manufac- turers seized the opportunity of selling forward de- livery on the exchange in substantial quantities, and in addition quite a sizable business was done for European houses as well as eastern shippers. The value of rubber to modern civilization can- not be gauged. It is self-evident, however, that it ranks among the first in importance in our scheme of life today. It is used in a thousand and one things where it is of the utmost importance. Of course, the greatest single use for rubber is in au- tomobile tires, yet the electrical industry is almost as dependent upon it as is the automobile indus- try. Advanced methods of reclaiming rubber will help, of course, but some method of gaining an ad- justment with the British rubber interests should ‘be found so as to guarantee the future supply. aie Our Porous Frontiers Only 750 men stand guard on our 7,000 miles of Canadian and Mexican borders to halt the inva- sion of aliens who slip through in violation of the law and in consequence it has been estimated that 1,000. enter illegally every day while a conservative estimate places the number at 100,000 a year. Which leads to the question—how valuable are our immigration laws which stop at our front doors 1 these who would be desirable citizens while through our back doors sneak all the undesirables of the world? fi And the condition is one which has given rise to + $7.20 20 | borders and the navy along the ‘waterfront, we {could not stop this invasion by infiltration.” | What, then, is to be the solution of the condi- |tion? Hire more guards? If so, then we would have to hire an army indeed to do the work. Or {shall we lower the bars to all immigrants and try to sort them leniently at the front door sv that the} | back door is less attractive? No Goal in Sight That the American college youth does not labor }to educate himself, but to satisfy a taskmaster |“who devises a series of obligations that may range \from the impossibly . difficult to the ridiculously | \easy,” is the conclusion reached as the result of a| survey of American and European educational processes contributed to the twentieth report of |the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching by Dr. W. S, Learned. According ty Dr. Learned the American college youth does not j know where he is going, whereas the college stu- dent of France or England has his goal clearly set |before him by his professor throughout his college | career. | If t is true, then something should be done | jabout it. If the French and British ways of doing} |the job are better why don’t we copy them to some! extent? The answer probably is that we are too| smugly satisfied with what we ourselves are do-| jing. We cannot see that there may be much bet- | ter ways of doing things than we practice in this | country. We imagine always that we are much} further advanced than the old world and that some- how their methods could never be as good. The modern American college has no lack of} aims—from the point of view of those who run it. Its representatives can and will discuss wisely and at length the philosophy of a college education as} they see it, But there is no intellectual purpose, that may confidently be offered to the student with the expectation that it will arouse him in any such | manner as a serious purpose moves an active mind | in everyday life. | So we must oonclude that something is wrong! with our system. Dr. Learned says other coun: | tries accomplish more in an inspirational sense.) Let us then, without delay, find out how to do this! and adapt it to our own needs here. | | Editorial Comment | The Little Pig to Market (St. Paul Dispatch) The little pig that went to market has it all over the little pig that stayed at home, in numbers just now. Last week 175,163 hogs were marketed at | the seven principal markets and, for the week to date 250,500 have arrived. Compare those receipts with those of a year ago, 127,063 and 118,803, re- spectively, and it is not difficult to understand why hogs are selling at 7 and 8 cents. Henry C. Carlson, head of Armour & Co.'s hog department, takes advantage of the drop in prices consequent to the flooded market, to point to the bargain the consumer has before him in buying pork. He has the figures to back him, which show that pork ribs, selling a year ago for 18.6 a pound to the retailer, are now being sold to him for 12.5 than a year ago. The consumer is getting the benefit. Pork chops are quoted by St. Paul retailers at from 23 to 27 cents a pound, and other cuts even cheaper. But the farmer is not taking just as roseate a view of it. He may be compelled to clean up the feed lot before the coming of hot weather; he may antici- pate a shortage of corn; he may have any number of sound reasons for sending his pigs to market unanimously. But the result is unfortunate for him. ; Of course the remedy fot it is plain. Let him diversify! Let him restrict production! This one- crop hog business is bad. Let him balance it by raising a little wheat! The fact is, no matter which way he turns he finds himself confronted by the same problem—no protection of any sort in his marketing, whether it is wheat or hogs, corn or cotton. The Trail That Led From Siskiyou (Minneapolis Tribune) ' The murder trail which began at Siskiyou, Ore., nearly four years ago came to an abrupt end Wed- nesday. The sentencing of the D’Autremont twins, Roy and Ray, climaxed one of the most “intensive and baffling manhunts in the history of the United States. The trail had its inception in-a railroad tunnel near Siskiyou, where a mail clerk and three trainmen were slain in an attempted holdup. It wandered vaguely at first, suddenly took definite shape as suspicion was cast on the three. D’Autre- mont brothers, and has since been followed. through two hemispheres with a desperate determination for justice which few crimes have inspired. Hugh, the youngest of the three brothers, was arrested in the Philippines a few months ago. 2 The Oregon holdup was a nice example of what many arg pleased to call “the perfect crime.” It had the earmarks of a technique inspired by a mas- ter criminal mind. For days there was expert sleuthing along blind trails. For days the fear was expressed that the murderers had covered their tracks completely and with consummate cunning. A chemist was consulted. From an article of cloth- ing, from a wood shaving, from a hair he pieced together the story of. three lumberjacks who had deserted the forests for a fling at ill-gotten wealth. Attention was finally turned to the D’Autremonts. Postal authorities and private detectives took up the trail, grimly pledging themselves to see it to the end. And the trail led, as the world now. knows, through as devious a maze of false hopes and clucs as a manhunt ever produced. @ very lucrative profession—the Bootlegging of aliens. This traffic has its agents in the capitals Salesmen of the easy route There is no such thing as a super-criminal. There is no such thing as a master criminal mind. There is no such thing as a perfect crime. © Every crime and every criminal may be, reduced, thanks to the modern scientific methods of detection, to terms of relative idiocy. The D’Autremonts eluded ~cap- ture for nearly four years; yet their arrest, if it signifies anything at all, signifies what science, aided and abetted by an uflagying will for justice, can accomplish. It is time to know. that the mas- ter minds belong, not to’ the fools who but to those who search the west Mounted Police exquisite skill in a pound, The price of shoulders is 22.1 per cent, Hames last year and that of spareribs 17.6 lower — F) It was exactly five months Cherry’s disastrous ‘wedding to Chris Wiley that the husband with whom she had refused to live, but whose hild she was soon to bear, paid his first call at the pretty new home of the Bob’ Hathaways on Serenity Boulevard in. the prosperous new suburb of Enfield. Without having said a word of her intentions to Faith or Bob, Cherry had instructed Stephen Churchill, her lawyer, to draw up a petition of divorce, Kate Lundy, Faith's maid of — all work, answered the door that Mon- day afternoon, curtly bade Chris wait} ki on the front porch, then stamped heavily to Cherry’s room, where the two sisters were sewing on tiny gar- ments for Cherry's unwanted child. “It's your husband, Miss Cherry,” Mrs. Lundy announced, her face and voice grim. “You say the word and I'll run him off the place.” “Chris?” Cherry | whispered, her lovely little face going quite white. “Oh, Faith! 1—I don’t want to see him I'm afraid to see him “Then I'll talk to him,” Faith sternly. “Thank you, Mrs. Lundy.” she added pointedly. And when the middle-aged housekeeper had trudg- ed out of the room, Faith turned to her cowering, wide-eyed little sister with a sharp question: ; “Does Chris know you're going to have a baby?” ‘ “No,” Cherry whispered, shaking her head violently. “Don’t tell him. Promise! He—he'd try to. make me go back to him—” “You don’t love him at all any more?’ Faith persisted, her brown eyes narrowed, her voice cold and steady. ‘ Again Cherry shook her head vio- lently, but color swept up over her neck and face. Her voice stammered as she answered: “I—I d-despise him, Faith! I hate him! Don’t let him come in here looking for me! If he does, if he gets his hands on me, kisses me—oh, Faith! I’m afraid of myself—" : “Listen to me, Cherry,” Faith begged, her voice suddenmiy soft aha \eoaxing. “If there is still a spark of love in your heart for Chris Wiley, OUT OUR WAY 79° Sigsleagah hon after, go back h of the baby you're going to bring) ' THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | Everybody’s Happy i | Ee to him. He is the into the world soon, and he has a right to that child, a right to stand by you during your agony—” “I hate him, I tell you.” Cherry whimpered, flinging Faith's hands from her shoulders. “He hasn't any right to this baby! It will be ail mine—just mine! I?d rather leave it on someone's doorstep than to give it Chris Wiley for a father. You don’t know—you can’t imagine—” she. shuddered. “All right, Cherry,” Faith said buskily, kissing the-girl’s distorted ‘mouth before she rose’ from her “But you'd better sue for a divorce hefore the baby is born, so there will be no question of its cus- tody. Otherwise, Chris will make trouble for you—" “I've already put the case into Stephen Churchill's hands,” Cherry confessed. “That's\ why Chris is here, of course. Churchill has shad him served with the papers. I hadn’t told you, but Chris has tried to sge me, has written a formal request that I return to him. That’s what. his silly letter said. “And now he’s dared to come here. Oh, I'd like to scratch his black’ eyes out of chis good-looking face! ‘If he just looks at me, narrowing his eyes and smiling with them, one corner of his lip twisted upward and one down, I'd be just like wax in his hands. Don’t let him come in here, Faith, Promise! 2 “Of course I promise,”. Faith re- assured her. “But I doubt if you can stay out of the living room your- self. If you do come in, wear that silkiest negligee—the pale blue one —if, you don’t want him to suspect the truth.” 5 “I won't come, don’t fear!” Cherry cried scornfully, but Faith gave her a sad, understanding little smile ax seeeeece to interview Cherry’s hus- nd.
