If the more log-/ ical and reasoning individuals will| |prefer to read his messages in the | public prints, where his words stand | fixed in black and white, many will “listen in” to the President who otherwise would barely take time| enough to skim the headlines in the newspapers.

Though} we are now a nation of a hundred | miliions, though California is three | thousand miles from Massachusetts, Presidents and cabinet officers can now become known to a very fair proportion of the American peole. | Ten or fifteen thousand-mile speak- ing trips are by no means uncom-| mon. And now the radio has doub-| led several times over the range of communication, The radio, in short, promises to become as much a part of a political campaign as the campaign adver- tisement, the street-corner rally, or) the party mass meeting. The |“radio vote” indeed may soon be a| factor that political wiseacres must take into consideration along with the “farmer's vote,” the ‘“church| | vote,” and “hyphen vote.” UNCLE SAM’S HELP IN THE EAST | A summary of the activity of the | Near East Relief for 1922 recently; |made public by the greatest gen- eral secretary of that organigation! once more shows Uncle Sam in the role of a great philantrophist.

Occupation Tax Upheld SHERIDAN, Wyo., July 2.—Judge s H. Burgess, in district court uesday: gave a written verdict favoring the city of Sheridan in its attempt to enforce an ordinance pro- viding for an dgcupation tax to be paid by all firms doing businesa in the city, and upheld the city’s con- tention for the constitutionality of the ordinance. The decision was given in the case of the city agaist Frank Litman, proprietor of a store at 264 North Main street. Litman was fined $5 and police court by Judge Scott fcr non-payment of the Litman appealed the case to the higher court. Unless Litman further appeals the decision in dis trict court it means he must pay the fine and the tax. ‘The case is of statewide tmportance according to R. GC, Diefenderfer, spe- cial counsel for the city, since Shert- dan was the first elty in Wyoming to frame such an ordinance and many other municipalities in the state have framed similar acts based on the Sheridan law. In announcing the decision, Judge declared, that “although Jam county | years than the Near East, the seat|there may be somé question as to the alidity of the ordinance, unless it is clearly unconstitutional it must be sustained.” The case will be appealed to tho | jbeen gained through revealing the|port of the Near East Relief out-jstate supreme court, M.

The Bishop of Smyrna, a man as well qualified as anyone else to speak with authority, declares that in that city alone American relief workers were responsible for the saving of at least 200.000 lives. It takes but little imagination to invest these figures with a vibrant |human interest. They spell life and happiness literally for thou: sands who have lost all hope.
