Martin, right-hand-man to the king, disap- peared but eventually was found in Canada and arrested. After a long and involved legal process he has een ordered back to the United States to stand trial. Only one more legal round remains before Canadian justice takes final action and the extradition takes place. Meanwhile, Samuel Insull’s permit to live in Greece is due to expire soon. ‘It probably will not be renewed. For reasons best known to themselves the Greeks like Insull, but they also want the good regard of the United States government. The probability is they will tell Samuel he must leave the country. And there is no place for him to go except home. The last border was closed to him when Albania signed an extradition treaty recently. The min- ute he steps outside of Greece he will be arrested as a fugitive from Justice and the wheels of justice will begin to grind. Samuel Insull is an old and broken | man who may not live to stand trial) for his crimes. It is easily possible that death may claim him before hu- man justice can operate. But even if this should be the case, who can say that he has not been punished al- ready? The thought of the lives he has wrecked, the hopes he has blast- ed, cannot be pleasant for him as he sits in his present exile, to say no- thing of the agonies of spirit he must suffer as a result of the collapse which he so eagerly brought upon himself. After all, human justice ts rather @ frail thing. Its apparent inability to function need not cloud our faith in the principle. Ingull defied the law for years, car- ried congressmen and senators in his vest pocket, bent the statutes to serve his ends or changed those he did not like. Better men than he were forced to bow to him and the populace, urged on by a desire for gold only a little less mad than his own, applauded his every act. His crimes were secret ones and the face he turned to the world was that of an economic angel. The gul- Mible believed and those who had their doubts found it best to keep them to themselves. But the pomp and show which marked Insull’s upward parade only made the ashes more bitter in his mouth. The justice which eventually came to him was all the more notable because it was delayed.

Triumph of Sanity James Joyce's famous novel, “Ulys- ses,” at last can be imported legally into the United States. Federal Judge John M. Woolsey ruled that, while the book is uncommonly frank here and there, it does not anywhere contain “the leer of a sensualist,” and hence is not obscene. ‘The ruling ends a ban which has existed ever since “Ulysses” was pub- ished; and it is a ruling which all People interested either in lterature or in freedom of expression are bound to applaud. In any book it is the spirit and not the letter that counts. The wording of “Ulysses” easily may be shocking to a sensitive person, But no one can fail to see that in spirit the book is serious, dignified, and completely sincere. Its moral tone is infinitely higher | than that of a dozen cheap sex thrill- ers that you can find on any drug store book counter. That it is at last to get by the censors can be re- garded only as a triumph for com- mon sense. A Rare Tribute An interesting footnote to the ope- ration of the NRA is supplied in the report filed the other day by the Na-| tional Coal association, which finds —after two months of code operation in the soft coal fields—that things are a whole lot better than they were, and which pledges its members to) cooperate fully in the code program. “This coding business is no longer @ theory,” says C. B. Huntress, exe- cutive secretary of the association. “The name-calling stage is past. We face a condition, and it is up to the coal operators to cooperate or close up.” And he adds: “It's easy to have hot fits and cold chills about this whole code bus- iness, but, while having the latter, one should not forget the chills that traveled up and down the spine last Spring.” This testimonial, from an industry which did not find it easy to accept all the administration's suggestions about codification, is a pretty good tribute to the effectiveness of the Blue Eagle.

More Cheerful Prospects (Williams County Farmers Press) Although only temporary in char- acter thus far, North Dakota's pros- pects for the immediate future are much more cheerful than they have been in many months. Williams county is an example of what is transpiring elsewhere. Ex- Penditure of $80,000 has been ap- proved for county projects, to provide labor for unemployed. Officials are expectant that this figure will be raised when congress gets into session in January. The Bank of North Dakota is pre- Paring, with the assistance of the federal government, to spend much money in this county in repair of farm buildings. South Dakota has already been granted a loan for that purpose and North Dakota bank of- ficials are expecting approval of their applications any day. The allotment for wheat, corn and hogs also means actual money brought into the county, as well as every other subdivision of the state. The corn-hog money has not yet been allocated but its combined should represent a sizeable sum for this state. Farm refinancing brings security for a number of years, even though nothing is paid, and the county gov- ernment is collecting tax money that it would be impossible to collect for some time otherwise. Finally, if the Big Bend diversion Project is approved, North Dakota labor will find long term jobs in very large numbers. Of course all these things do not Tepresent solutions, but every idle man is a liability, and any method to create employment will pay the gov- ernment handsomely. The distaste of the average man for relief is manifest by the numbers that have floczed to the courthouse to register for jobs. People must be cared for anyway, and a meagre monthly dole thing.

And the treasury’s present gold supply would be worth $1,400,000,000 instead of only $700,000,000. ‘The government might or might not take the profit, up to $4,300,000,- 000, and spend it in currency. There's every reason to believe that Prof. George F. Warren, Roosevelt's chief monetary adviser, proposes that it do just that. There'll be a hot argument as to whether such a course would be “in- flation.” One high authority says it would be “similar to inflation.” It was done in France and Italy when the franc and lira were devalued and the proceeds used to buy gov-' ernment securities. i The profit also might be applied to federal expenditures. SWEET, BUT WICKED Walrus-mustached Secretary of | i the Navy Claude Swanson seldom is asked for expert opinion on kisses. But comment was de- manded from him when a Naval Academy midshipman was sent to the brig for kissing his sweetie goodby in an “unseemly manner” —that is, too long and too ardent- ly. Uncle Claude delivered this dictum: “Of course a kiss can be an offense if it is bestowed in a cer- tain way. It all depends on how it’s done.” MILK ‘BOOTLEGGED’ ° Milk and liquor are altogether dif- ferent fluids. But they present the same problem in that you can put the price so high that bootlegging be- comes profitable. AAA officials ad- mit they found that out at the recent Chicago milk agreement hearing. They're disturbed. Legal price of milk in Chicago is 11 cents a quart. But hundreds of small stores are selling it at 8 and 9 cents, below the code price, mostly to Poor people. The problem of enforce- ment puzzles the AAA. But the government has aid from the- gangsters, who are in the milk racket as well as the booze racket. Low-price independents are terrorized and find their stores wrecked. LOOKS ON DARK SIDE" Winfield Riefler, sometimes called the administration's official “censor” because, as chairman of the Central Statistical Board, he is required to pass on all irtterpretations of statis- ties, is no pollyanna. Sometimes he leans over backward when an enthusiastic official wants to issue an optimistic interpretation. For instance, when automobile sales for October showed a 103 per cent increase over October, 1932, and auto- mobile installment sales increased 123 per cent, it seemed obvious that the consumers were more confident and English Playwright | to make more commitments.

The rain still beat down, but the thunder heads with their livid flashes had passed on east, 60 that there was no danger of the lightning betraying them. The cabins and Indian tepees ‘were all dark. ‘They went out the path to the Bay establishment. The store, twenty steps from Higginbotham’s resi- dence, was entirely dark, but to Curt’s disappointment there was a Ught in the house. From a window on the north side a yellow shaft streamed out into the rainy black- ness. Leaving Paul at the fur press, he circled around to the north side and crept up behind a cord of wood.

The room was Sonya Nichols.’ ‘With a chair drawn close to the window, Sonya was looking out into the night, an elbow on the window sill, The candle on the dresser turned her hair to a mass of thin- spun gold and lighted up the soft roundness of her arms and shoul- ders. She seemed too moody for sleep. a Less than ten feet away from her, Curt felt guilty for intruding on her privacy; but the expression on her face arrested him and he continued to watch. Evidently she thought herself alone with the night, and so made no effort to hide her feelings, as she normally did. She seemed bitterly unhappy and worried, but the thing that struck him most for- “eibly was her hard-set purposive Bess. Seldom fooled in such matters, he Amew that something wrong, badly ‘wrong, lay behind her tragic reverie, At the moment, pressed by his own work and the need of hurry, he could not pause there long; but the inci- dent left its impression on him, Around with Paul again, he whis- “It's all right; we won't be bother- ed.

He had scouted out the atore thoroughly that evening and knew the exact ledger that he wanted. His fingers closed upon it, he drew it out and took it over be- hind the counter. Making himself a little barricade of boxes so that his flash glow could not be noticed out- aide, he began examining the book. The record started with June first of the previous summer, and ran.for| exactly one year. Every transaction of the store, whether cash, trade or debt, had been entered by the methodical factor. Several of the months were scanty, others heavy.

He was by easy odds the best customer that Higginbotham had. Very plainly the fellow was buy- ing tor somebody in addition to him- self. His food items were double and triple the needs of one man, and he bought cartridges for two rifles, a Savage .303 and a standard Mann- licher-Schoenauer. Was he buying for some other trapper or crony of his? The items Proved he was not. Cigarettes in cans of five hundred each, a radio, @ ecore of unnecessaries that cost heavily—no trapper would ever pur- chase those things, This unknown whom LeNoir was buying for had the luxury tastes of a city man and plenty of money to indulge them. With his suspicion definitely fo cused, Curt turned again to the be- ginning of the record and started down across the LeNoir transac- tions, scrutinizing each item, In August the fellow had been hanging around Russian Lake, making little daily purchases like the other "breeds idling there. His entries then were “charge.” The record gave a perfect picture of a ‘breed loafing away the open season. But in late September the whole situation suddenly changed. He seemed to have come into money in a twinkling, for he not only began. buying heavily and paying cash, but he settled up a two-years’ account in full. Where had he got the money for that? No guide was ever paid such wages. Late September—that was about the time when Igor Kar- akhan had come north into the Lil- luars! Halt an hour before daybreak Curt straightened up from his long cramped study of the ledger and re- placed the book where he had got it.
