He is thus located hecause of a bench warrant istued under an in- dictment charging him with swindling a client out of $65,000 worth of ratiroad securities. ‘The facts of the charge against Fink and his incarceration are common enough and of no par- ticular interest, except for the further fact that he is the playmate of Roxie Stinson one of ‘the star performers of the Daugherty investigation. | ‘The lady of doubtful character that Mr. Wheeler journey from Washington to Columbus to induce to pour out the secrets of her divorced and dead | husband’s life.

The friendship and intimacy of Fink} and Roxie Stinson is sufficient to place them in the same classification. uAGG they are no better and no worse than the/ general run of witnesses before Wheeler's com- mittee, that have been exploited, pictured and) given pages of publicity in the press reports) of the metropolitan press ever since the school for scandal opened. Slant On News The other day an oil company attorney testi- fied before the senate oil committee that he pro- cured the services of President Wilson's broth-| er to help him confirm leases in the Salt Creek field and on Teapot dome from Secretary of the woes tl Che Casper Daily Cridune Such proceedings as this on the part. of ths|their work together for a genuine and lasting senate are deplorable. If the ate is regardless of their nelevency to the alleged subject under investigation, are confirmed, then the senate is an unrestrained oligarchy and lib- erty is as dead in the United States as it is in Russia, where the form of government fre- quently lauded by the chief of the senate inquis- itors is in full flower. The merits: of Sinclair's case or his motives in refusing to testify further do not constitute the fundamental issue. The question raised in this case is one affecting the liberty of every citizen. If a lawless thing may be done in a guod cause today, it may be done in a bad one to- morrow. If it may be done to punish the guilty today it may be done to persecute the innocent tomorrow. We are facing in this country fund mental issues affecting vitally the very fabr' of free government. There were days when pow- | erful voices would have been raised on ca: pitol | hill in yindication of the principles underlying our form of government, no matter how unpop- war or odious such a course would have seemed in a moment of nationul hysteria and convic- tion by mere denunciation. The reign of terror there has done its work. But such a situation cannot long exist. The people of this country still comprehend the fun- damentals of free government. They will in the regularly constituted, legal way, extirpate from government not only corruption but usurpation, not only the lawlessness that comes from greed for gold but that not less dangerous lawlessness which comes from unbridled lust for power. Its Judicial Rights No one familiar with the fundamentals of American jurisprudence, and with the under- lying principles of the American constitution with its guarantees of individual rights, can be in serious doubt as to the gross usurpation of power involved in recent proceedings by senate _ committees which have resolved themselves into partisan fishing expeditions, prying into every nook and corner in the hope of striking some- thing somewhero that can be used to campaign advantage. Usurpation is always undertaken in the name of some popular cause. The Sinclair-Doheny cases give a plausible excuse for tearing down the division of powers, among the three great branches of government in the palpable effort to make the legislative branch judicial as well. Andrew Jackson denounced such an effort the senate of hia own time and pointed out in characteristic language the menace involved in senate usurpation. Members of congress have taken an oath to support the constitution, and owe to it a rea- sonable regard. When the senate sets up courts which proceed to deny witnesses the rights guar- anteed in the constitution for all judicial pro- | ceedings, and which violate every rule of ,re- levancy and of fair play maintained in the most minor courts of the land, it has of course begun a process of usurpation which unless interrupted, must lead to the breaking down of all the safe- guards which American law hag placed between the individual and the power of government ty- rannically employed. It is fortunate that the question of the sen- ate’s unlimited right to conduct inquisitions without’ restraining rules of law or evidence, is to be submitted to the supreme court, that it has been transferred from the field of politics | to that of justice. The fact that it was one of | the defendants in the oil lease suits and prose- | cutions who raised this point does not impair ever much it may affect the expediezcy of main-| Interior Payne.

The Prospective Findings While the reports which have reached the public in regard to the work of the Dawes com- mittee of experts on German reparations are un- official, it is probable that they reflect very closely the lines along which the committee has been moving in its investigations. | It is apparent that the establishment of a gold bank at Berlin may be included in the recom- mendations to be made, this bank being intend- ed to assure the stability of German currency its issue department, however, to be located for its protection in a neutral country. Other proposals imply a moratorium for cash payments as distinguished from payments in kind; a loan to be issued promptly based on the German railroad system, now extremely well- equipped and freed’ from debt by the deprecia- tion of the mark; a budget system with a section for reparations into which certain revenues over the actual cost of running the government posal for international supervision of Germany's fiscal system to assure compliance with the plans suggested.

No public demand has ever been clearer than that for relief from ex- cess war burdens. Yet congress let March 15 pass wjthout lifting a hand to help the taxpayer. It ts taking no steps to make a 25 per cent rebate in the income taxes for 1923 appil- cable on June 15 next. It has failed to reapportion representation in the house and in the Electoral college, although this year's elections ought to be held under a new apportion- ment. It is doing nothing to tide the Northwestern hard wheat grow- ers over their economic difficulties. The bonus agitation demoralized Congress.

No ordinary tooth paste can effectively com- bat it. Food stains, etc., discolor it, then it forms dingy coats. That is why teeth lose luster. Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tar- tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Thus film causes most tooth ubles, — Modern science has for years sought ways to fight that film, and two methods have been found. One disintegrates the film at all stages of formation, one removes it with- out harmful scouring.
