Here is the A. M. Daugherty case. Daugh- erty is a brother of former Attorn Gene ‘al Viarry M. Daugherty, and a banker at Washing: | ton Court House, Ohio. He refused to tes before the Wheeler committee or to exhibit t books of his bank for the scrutiny of the mem- bers of the committee. As a result Daugherty was arrested for contempt of the senate com- mittee. He applied for a writ of habeas corpus in the Ohio federal court and his petition has just been granted by Judge Cochran sitting at Cincinnati. This means that Daugherty, whose bank records were sought by the senate nos' committee need not produce them for scrutin, The court held that the only ground upon which M. A. Daugherty’a arrest by the senate | could be approved was that of impeachment of the former attorney general. He held, however, | that the senate can only try, and not impeach, cials of the government. not within the senate’s province to harass annoy, put in fear, render unfit or possibly drive from offic ny such officer, high or low, by in- stituting impeachment proceedings against him. The sole power which the senate has in the matter of impeachment is, to try such proceed- in It should act thereon as judge, not as pros- ecutor, ®& The senate is proposing to determine the guilt wrongdoings set forth in resolution. It is to hh ar judge and condemn. In so doing it is exercising the judicial function, This it has no power to do, It has been conferred expressly. Its exist- ence is negatived by provisions of the consti- Ag I view the matter, the senate has usurped judicial power and encroached on the prerogative of the house of representatives. There is nothing left for me to do but to adjudge that the petitioner is entitled to his discharge and a judgment will be entered to that effect. Mr. Walsh’s oil committee put its foot into the same sort of a hole when it arrested Harry Sin- clair on a similar charge. And the termination in his case will be a duplicate of the Daugherty case. Wherever these senate committees get their wild notions of judicial power, none but senate committees know. They certainly did not get them from a careful perusal of the constitution. That old document still stands the measure of the citizen’s rights in spite of the assumptions of all the Walshos and Wheelers there are. Keep Him Home The Republicans of Massachusetts are debat- ing the question whether or not they will ele- vate Representative Dallinger to the senate or spank him and keep him in the house. The sen- ate term of Sehator Walsh is about to expire and there is a great scramble among Republicans for the honor of the nomination. Speaker Gillett is also among the contestants. They all look upon the chances of election as lent, since Massachusetts is normally a re- liably Reput state and the people are un- animously fi Calvin Coolidge to succeed him- self. It is another instance of riding in on the Coolidge wave of popularity. Some of the more thoughtful of the party lead- ers point to the fact that Congressman Dal linger was one of the unfaithful ip support of the president’s veto of the bonus bill, and is therefore not to be trusted in a matter of future support of presidential policies. These are judg ing rightly. Mr. Dallinger along with the other equally remiss in their duty to their president, their state and their pari hould be kept at and given no furth ors at the hands y they have And there is Henry great state, one of the achusetts has e odge of the same patest Ktatesmen Mass r given to the national life of the republic. When his time comes in 1929 he should be reti nso. He has outlived his use fulness both to Republican party and to the] people of Massachusetts. He is ol enough to know better than to knife the very man that all Republican hopes are centerel in for success in this presidential ive all these bi old reliable woe 1 treatment and back ot the f Maseach rm. We h ‘ {ts possess the intestines to do it, The Convention and Afterwards No one doubts that the Cleveland convention will nominate Calvin Coolidge by nacelamation. | The dixposition of the convention will also be tol r » in the party platform his re as i ill include the acts as to which have denied support. ntion cannot at one time approve the Mellon tax reduction plan and the house com promise tax reduction combined with tax spend ing on bonus and pensic the Hughes world court plan and the Lodge substitute, Having re solyed to nominate Coolidge, the convention « epublican members of the house who were | ; must build its platform out of the materials he has provided in his conflict with congress. In the campaign the errant Republicans will have to get into line with Coolidge. By their own action they have made him and his record the issues on which the people will vote and a pledge of loyal support to him will be their best vote: getter. When elected on that basis, both the presi- dent and the next congress will be in a greatly changed position. Mr, Coolidge will have a di- rect popular mandate as head of the government und as leader of his party. That mandate will be > by implication an adverse vote on congress, es pecially on those members who have not been true to their party obligations to their leader. The surprising thing is that congress has ut- terly. failed to perceive the significance of the primary vote for Coolidge. It persists in its obstructive course as though the party had not passed judgment between it and the president. Should Read History A few days ago, the bishops of a great church sent a communication to the United States gov- ernment. Among other thing it contained this paragraph: “We respectfully remind the government. of the United States that’ we expect the federal authorities to discover a method other than war to settle international disputes, In all good faith the bishops might be remind- ed that conversance with the history of their country would disclose that the United States since its foundation has suggested, proposed and urged the adoption of methods other than war for the adjustment of the international dis- putes. Benjamin Franklin urged this reform in practically the same words as those employed by the bishop.s John Jay incorporated this plea in the first treaty ever made under the contitution. Jexander Hamilton proclaimed it as did Thomas Jefferson. The United States has always stood for the principle of conciliation and arbitration. It has practiced these principles wherever pos- ble. It ord of the United States surpasses that other nation. Lincoln, Cleveland, Mc Roosevelt and Wilson emphasized and supported this method, which very distinctly is our own. The good bishops should bend their energies to- ard securing the recognition and support of other nations of a method that with us has been in existence for more than a hundred and forty yearse= Meanwhile if the brethren will mount their pul- pits and preach to beat hell, they will remove quite a few of the dangers of future wars. What Ails Us Dr. James Edward Rogers, has just concluded | telling the congress of parent-tea tions of the country the disorder from which America is suffering. He says it is “bleacher- ites.” As he tells it, we haye become a nation of onlookers content with such amusements a: may be obtained with the least effort. The mov- ies, instruments of our degradation, our deteriora- tion fron igor and activeness. There is a cer- tain familiar ring to this protest. One has lately heard it from other sources with regard to our- selves’ but even before that it was a cry not un- known to us through the medium of literature. Indeed, from reading, the impression is gained that there never hag been a time when the man race was not suffering from bleacher’ and, though the writers protest that it is a di: ease which has just begun to exercise its rav- ages, from the very earliest times the symptoms have been remarked by social diagnosticians. For example, we read in Anthony Trollope’s novel “Barchester Towers,” that away back in 1857, of the sorrow of a stalwart lady Miss Thorne, in finding that the youth of the time had no love of the vigorous games which their an- cestors had enjoyed. She deplored their willing ness to look on inactively in preference to ta ing an energetic part in sport. Thorne look- ed back to the days of “merrie England” under Elizabeth as the halcyon period when men were men, And y it is not difficult to imagine that the social diagnosticians of that day deplored the deterioration of the stock as demonstrated by its love of plays and masks. No doubt the viewed with alarm the inertia preference for watching bear. ng to partic- ipation in tourneys and joustings. Thus we may see that each age worries about the physical de generacy of its youth; and yet the length of life is being appreciably extended rather than short- ened, Degeneracy cannot, therefore, be quite the immediate danger that our diagnosticians would persuade us, a Annointing the Chosen Something like thirty citizens good and true are named in the politician’s lists of possible winners of the Democratic nomination for presi- dent at the New York convention which assem- bles on June 24. Few experienced observers would concede, however, that more than four or five have the slightest chance of success. Yet surprising things often happen in national con- ventions. Reflect, for example, upon the nomina- tion of William'J. Bryan by the Democrats in 1e Democratic race is so different from the epublican, in which President Coolidge has al- ly captured many more than enough dele- s to nominate him, that none of the political men will hazard a forecast ag to the winner New York convention. According to pres- ations, none of the leading and most ised Democratic candidates can go into the convention with anything like the necessary two-thirds majority of the delegates, and the leaders will so block one another’s chances that perhaps none of them can be nominated. rom a national point of w that may be as. fortunate, since the best-qualified e ranks of Democracy for the office of e not among the mest 7 mentioned candidates, The country could watch with sine interest if in the New York meet ing this month McAdoo and Smith and the oth ers ut the top so tied up the conv¥enti id have to make a compromise choice for between David F, Houston and John avis. New York convention will have a chance to give the country a very great surprise. The Left Turn One of the causes of automobile accidents in city and town centers is the habit of cutting vers in making a turn to the left. A motorist ming to an intersection often thinks that if he n slip over to the left hand side and avoid going nroun@ the central intersecting point, he will not haye to reduce speed so much. Many hurrying drivers thus avoid the cor 1 because it is a bit slower. But the result is that the other drivers and pedestrians do not know what to depend on, Vhey were not looking for that car at the place turn has repeatedly asked other nations of | the world to do likewise. In this respect the rec- ers associa- the radio and the automobile haye been the Che Casper Daily Cribune where it suddenly appears, often going far too fast for that situation. ~ Automobile drivers should learn to follow the rules of safe operation because then other peo- ple will know what they are going to do, and can avoid them more easily. Ten seconds gained in cutting a_corner may mean ten days for some- one in a hospital. Making Comparisons The office statistician has it figured out that eighty-seven per cent of the happinesa that falls to the lot of mortals is a product of self-respect If this is true, and we will assume that it is, then it follows that the way to make happiness almost completely universal is to devise some simple method by means of which mortals cin feed their vanity. Very well; what makes your acquaintances yain? How do they get that way? In almost every instance they get that way by the simple expedient of comparing their virtues, pulchri- tude and possessions of persons less fortunate than themselves. Here, then, is the answer. Hap- piness is to be found by means of comparison. Two perfectly good legs do not make your heart rejoice until you pass a man who has but one. It will be answered that the seeker after hap- piness cannot fix his mind on the unfortunates and dismiss from his mind the beloved of the gods whom he now envies, but he can if he will, for vanity will aid him and a@ sense of his own limitations will exclude from the competition those who are too far beyond his class. For ex- ample, he may be unhappy because of his fear that he cannot whip the man at the next desk, but the knowledge that he cannot whip Dempsey does not disturb him at all. Every man in the world, except one, can look about and find some male mortal to whom he is superior. The average man can look about and discover multitudes to whom he is superior. Here then, is sufficient fodder, if judiciously used, to double mankind's store of self-respect. ’ There remains the problem of the one man who has no living inferior. Well, let the poor chap learn to read and delve in history. He will find many pages occupied with the story of great men who believed in witches, who ate with their fin- gers from a conimon bowl, who bathed but once a year, who thought the world flat, who were full of vice and had no respect for virtue. Let men but a little while ago, and he will find-suf- ficient reason to lift up his head. Following Old Trails You read something concerning a frail in- dividual who lies abed and suffers for many months, smiling all the wolile, and again you get word concerning some great hulk of a man who never before has been sick and now is confined at home with trivial ailment and howla to disturb the natives. Knowing these things, a praise the frail invalid too much and condemn the big boy too quickly; the first is following a beaten path that habit has deprived of its terrors, the other is adventuring in strange places and ignorance magnifies the terrors to be encountered, Of two children who follow a path after- nightfall, the one who has gone that way many times by day and by night will step forward without fear, while the other, ne- gotiating the path for the first time, will im- agine lurking wild animals in the shadows. Exery adult who has gripped the arms of a dentist’s chair knows that the ordeal is not one- hundreth times as painful as imagination pro- claimed it. If nature required each of us to have a new jaw tooth extracted each day, within thir- ty days we would face the business without flinching. As matters are, we tremble and turn pale because extractions are few and by the time one tooth needs remoying we forget how little actual pain the last one caused us as it was torn loose from its moorings. Snakes do not frighten people who are accus- tomed to snakes; the whine of a bullet does not ken the pu of the man who has heard bullets whine; tossing waves cause the sailor little anxiety. In only one particular has nature left us to face an ordeal without opportunity to travel that way with a guide, To each of us death is a new adventure to be entered upon without knowl- edge of what is to follow. If there is an explana- tion, it must be that nature wishes to keep us ffrighted of death so that we will avoid it while we can. Those who have seen death come to loy- ed ones have seen it come, for the most part, with great dignity and unattended by pain or fear. If those who are away could return and tell us how little the experience hurt them, millions who find life disappointing might be tempted to try the experiment. Nature knew her business when she taught men to love life and fear death. Pos- sibly she tricked him, but if so she tricked him for the good of the earth. : Fear of Failure Discussing some of the principles underlying the amazing development of his business, Henry Ford in his autobiography uses these significant words: “One who fears the future, who fears failure, limits his activities. Failure is only the opportu nity more intelligently to begin again. There is no disgrace in honest fuilure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail. What is past is useful onl as it suggests ways and means for progress. These words describe an essential American trait, implanted with the very aeeds from which the nation grew. If the grim Fathers had feared failure in 1620, there would have been no ‘w England! if the colonists in 1775 had feared ure, there might have been no United States; if Lincoln had feared failure in 1861, the Union would have perished. Young yien of toda ordinate positions be content to work in sub- se the fear of failure holds them back,- should take these words to heart, The grooves of routine are worn smooth by n who fear responsibility, who “play safe,” und by so doing, shut the door on progress, Tt takes « stout heart to risk failure, and if necessary, to use failure as a stepping-stone to success. Rashness,‘or even poor judgment, brings inevitable downfall, But no man achieves who is dominated by the fear of failure. Sir Broderick Hartwell of Londan, who organ ized a company through advertisements inviting the public to subscribe capital to purchase wine and spirits for export to a rendezvous, twenty miles off the coast of the United States, is ag- grieved because the prime ministe says it is a “disgraceful blot” and the press refer to him as a bodtlegger. The Burtons seem to be in high favor at Cleve. land this year. Theodore will be the temporary airman and official keynoter and Marion will make the nominating speech, The best route to reach the first page is a toss up between heretical preachers and asinine sen ators, him’ compare himself with those who were great] $1 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1924. Race for South American Trade close England is running the United States a race for the South American trade. Taking ue British pound sterling at par British supose f from South America during 1923 total ns rut $474,000,000, in rousid numbers; exports to those tries totaled 000. South America into the United States during 1923 totaled $467,000,000; exports to South a ica totaled $269,000,000, On the basis of preva’ ui ing rates of the pound throughout the year would seem that the trade of England and the United States with the countries of South aaa r- ica as a whole was just about even. This es pretty good indication that we cannot are 0 take things easy if we wish to hold the pri ey in trade with the Latin Americans. The proxi- mity of the Central American countries, SpRee and the West Indies enables us to make a be ter showing, but the race for the South Amer- ican field is on in dead earnest. 6 Taking the northern countries of the conti- nent, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, and the Guianas, and a! me pow one ree we find that British imports fro - tries were, respectively, $1,152,000, $7,120,000, $2,435,000 and $7,560,000; exports to them sy flay $2,781,000, $13,250,000, $7, and $6,455, i 5 Total imports from were $ ,000; exports to this area, $30,000,000. For the United Btates, im- ports were, mesboc tees ROHN $45,738,000, $13,112,000 and $1,762,000; exports 000, $22207 000, $11,918,000 and. $2,864,000. Total im- ports from $66,758,000; exports to $41,414,000. So we put it over the British in that sector. Now let us take the River Plate countries, Ar- gentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. British imports from these countries were respectively, $320,500,- 000, $23,610,000 and $97,000; exports to them; $136,580,000, $15,390,000 and $658,000. Total for this area, imports $344,000,000; exports $153,- 000,000. Our own trade ran, imports $115,000,000, $22,000,000 and $545,000; exports $13,000,000, $15,000,000 and $586,000. Total imports $137,500,- 000; exports $128,6000,000. In this sector the Brit- h took $207,000,000 more of imports and sent $25,000,000 more of exports. k Reserving Brazil for separate mention we pass on to the west coast and compare British and American trade in the countries of Chile, Peru and Bolivia. We find that British imports totaled, respectively $28,072,000, $41,700,000 and 037,000; exports $32,280,000, $13,465,000 and 37,000. Total for the three countri mpores $82,800,000; exports $48,380,000. Our ow rade with these Sotatri¢a , imports, $92,000,000, $24,000,000 and $1,800,000; exports $ 000,000, $19,775,000 and $3,028,000. Total, imports $117,- 800,000; exports $53,800,000. Here again we were in the lead, notwithstanding the strongly en- trenched position of Great Britain in this sec- tor. British imports from Brazil totaled over #28,- 000,000 and her exports to that country $53,000,- 000. Our own trade ran far above this, imports from Brazil being $143,000,000 and exports to that country $45,600,000. But England sells Bra- zil more than we do, and she is better entrenched. Summarizing, it appears that on the import side of the ledger our import trade from Ecua- dor, Colombia and Venezuela is larger than is England's while hers is larger from the Guianas. This holds true with regard to exports to that sector. In Argentina England is far ahead of us with respect to imports, about even with us in the Uruguayan trade, and the Paraguayan trade is still inconsequential. It is nip and tuck in the exports to Chile, Peru and Bolivia; England takes more imports from Peru and Bolivia, and we buy more heavily from Chile — fertilizers mainly, THE most flashlight in the world for the money.

It climaxed the bitter feelings between the north and south after the Civil War and the assassination of Lincoln. But did you know that an effort was made in congress many years before to impreach Presi- dent Thomas Jefferson? Comparatively few peo- ple are aware of the fact today, although it is related in the official records of the congress. Prime mover in the proceedings was Congress- man Quincy of Massachusetts, who introduced the resolution of impeachment in the house in 1808. It attacked the methods of some federal ap- pointmeni’ and specifically charged that the president was keeping General Benjamin Lincoln in office as collector of the port of Boston, two years after Lincoln was physically incapacitated for duty and after he had urged the acceptance of his resignation. Quincy claimed that Jeffer- son wanted Lincoln to hold the job until Jeffer- son’s term in the White House closed, when he planned to give the place to General Henry Dear- born, secretary of war. But the Quincy resolu- tion was voted down, and General Lincoln held his job.
