Had not the tales of former Secretary Fall and those of Edward McLean, E. L. Doheny and J. W. Zevely been entirely contradictory, the whitewash might have been applied so thickly that even this sordid tale would have Temained a secret. | It is regrettable the highly-honored public officials } should resort to falsehood, but it is a protection to the | public that lies are so difficult to sustain, Public officials, whether presidents or village mayors, | can learn from these notable cases that nothing is more foolhardy or dangerous than trying to deceive the public with lies. a ms, Mr. Bok’s intentions were good, but the senate ls paved with that sort pf material, he should have recalled. | Please, Calvin AY we it be permitted to ask President Coolidge why his man Daugherty, with all his Burns blood- hounds available, doesn't produce the thieves of the Vet- erans’ bureau and the scandal of Teapot Dome before Some able-bodied federal grand jury? Of course, we know that Attorney Daugherty may be busy over prosecution of Bok and keeping red flags off the White House, but there are a lot of federal juries that don’t seem to be doing much, and these Teapot and Bureau matters are ripe to rotteriness, ee ee re ee Mr. Coolidge takes no physical exercise other than walking, but, men- tally, he takes a few hurdles each day. With Lenin Gone ENIN and Trotsky! . For six years, these two have been before the world as no other pair of men, dreaded by some, abhorred by others, observed by all. Lenin, educated, statesman, strategist and, undoubtedly, patriot. Trotsky, man of sword, bloody executor of law. And Trotsky is left! There will be hot proceedings in Russia, unless the situation is as one close student of | Russia puts it, thus: “Inside the bolshevik party, Lenin was largely written | off; that is, his death was discounted, while outside he | still remained a great factor of stability to the adminis- | tration.” President calls 4 bankers’ conference to settle the difficulties of the | Northwest farmers. Won't the farmers be glad? li lata ieee | Interesting, if True interesting things, there’s never a shortage. A European physician claims he can tell the sex of a child several months before birth, by a new blood test. This seems no more implausible than the theory of the ‘circulation of the blood when first advanced by Harvey. A group of mystics, delving in phychic phenomena, claims it has word from the Other Side that a blue race is due to appear on earth to share things with the white, yellow, red, black and brown races. ‘Two days after Lenin's death Great Britain dagides to recognize the government he built. Fate was just a little bit late, ; Ramsay, Beware! 6¢ A FTER partaking of a light, quick luncheon in Amer- ican fashion, Premier Ramsay MacDonald, etc., ete.” Thus a London cablegram. The cables are overloaded with messages telling what Britain’s labor premier intends to do and will do, when of the highest importance is information as to the con- dition of his teeth and stomach and as to how and what he eats. Any good doctor, properly supported by any good dentist desirous of promoting business, will testify that our cemeteries are full of graves dag by American _ teeth and light, quick luncheons and occupied by men who had possibilities of premiership, or something else equally as grand, and Britain’s first labor premier should: be posted by somebody. For instance, you enter any Second ave. drug store. A number of young men, in white aprons, behind a long counter, look like old times, but aren’t. Twenty stools before the bar are topped by folks who are working their elbows as does a boy who is doing the family churning and wants to go skating. You go down the line and take position behind some fellow whose pie is 'most gone. Only a minute, and you are on his stool. “Ham sandwich, apple pie and plain soda, please!” Both hands to it, and in four minutes your stomach has a conglomeration, while your mind has the obsession that, having been light and quick, you've made $1 grow where only 95 cents grew before. Some years later, a surgeon whets his knives over you, on the ground that you’ve been having appendicitis, or ossified liver, or inspissated gall or ulcerated stomach. But it’s none of these. You've been having “the light, quick luncheon in American fashion,” Premier MacDonald. ‘The Prince of Wales has decreed a “studied carelessness in dress,” which is another way of giving the tailor fits. LETTER, FROM \V RIDGE MANN January 31, 1924. Dear Folks: I’ve noticed, on walking along the atreet, the cripple who sits on a sheltered seat. Because ho ts crippled or lame or blind, a job he could handle is hard to find. He gathers our coins in his little cup, as, pleading a pittance, he holds itup. . . + I give him a coin as I pass him by; I wonder @ bit, as I watch it go, if he isn’t making a lot more dough —than I And out of the hundreds who pass each day, I figure he really should make It pay. The nickels or dimes that the passers give are surely sufficient to let him live. Wor + people, at heart, area kindly lot, and often will share any change they've got. . . . And #0, as I notice his begging eye, I wonder a bit, as I drop my dime, if he ten’t wealthier most of the time—than I. But etill I am glad that I have my health, for that is the equal of lots of wealth. And whether a beggar can make it pay, I'm glad I am able to work and play—so what does tt r if he could fiount a bigger and healthier banic accotint? . » .« For tho we go by with our purses alim, and still give a beggar a bit of ald, no measure of money could make us trade—with him! _ Briggs Tom BIRDS AND BEARS 2—It L is feeding time in Hoilly- wood.
