Justice and reason to determine. riving a car "I have always realized that there was some slight difference in gasolines," said a motorist recently. "But I didn't know there was a difference you could tell the moment you stepped on the accelerator until I tried Red Crown Ethyl! When a motor full of carbon starts like a Jack Rabbit, purrs along with an entirely new feel and absolutely can't be made to knock on the hills there's something in paying a few pennies more for a gasoline!" f 3 to 1 Favorite In 1928 Nebraska motorists bought three gallons of Red Crown Gasoline for every gallon of the next most popular brand. A preference based on the satisfactory year 'round performance of this always -reliable, balanced gasoline.

(5 SMASH IT WITH FACTS The fight on the Ilawley-Smoot tariff bill, in which Republican Sen ators are exchanging verbal wallops, is a bigger fight, we believe, than the country as a whole appreciates. As the Post-Disnatch sees it, it is more than a fight onTbe measure in ques tion. It is a fight on the ancient and wicked practice of enacting tariff laws by log-rolling methods. ConKider what Senator Rnrali said L. , . , the other day in his tiff with Senator Smoot: This tariff bill as it was brought out of the committee is a challenge to the whole pur pose for which the special ses sion was called and a disregard of the consumers of the country generally. Whom will this this bill help if it passes as framed? Mostly those who are already enjoying unconscion able profits. Who pays these profits? The people of the coun try. What little advan tage the farmers receive would be taken by the increased price they would have to pay for the things they buy, and the con sumers would contribute more and more to the already exorbi tant profits. This from a Republican Senator, a believer in the principle of protec tion, a man who helped write the Kansas City platform and is recog nized as Mr. Hoover's most effective campaigner. What he has said has of- tan been said In substance, but it is now said by a protectionist and a public official while a tariff law is in the making. The opinion grows that the bill Will never be passed as reported by the Senate Finance Committee. It is even ventured, in informed circles. that no tariff bill will be passed. If either result eventuates an amend ed bill to conform to the party's pledge and the President's counsel. or no tariff act something new will have occurred in . Washington. The combination of a Republican major - ity in Congress and a tariff lobby will have ben beaten for the first time. We hazard no prediction as to the outcome. But the ..opponents of the bill, it seems to us, have devastating ammunition with which to barrage this measure and the special interests it is designed to serve. Mr. Borah has asked a question which he him self may well undertake to answer. That question is: Whom will this bill help if it pass es as framed: It is not sufficient to characterize the beneficiaries as "already enjoying unconscionable profits." The .issue calls for facts. The facts are avail able in withering abundance. An ex cell en t survey . of the tariffs oper atlons was printed in the Sunday Post-Dispatch of Oct. 13. The article showed that less than 6 per cent of the people benefited directly from 1 the tariff. It also Hated the industries I of national' magnitude ; which derive either'no benefit from the tariff, or only an . indirect, negligible benefit. lit bristled with facte, competent, rel evant material facts which . might. if we may say - so, be used in the Senate controversy. "... . There are more .facts to be had. The interests "already enjoying un conscionable profits' and lusting for more who aTe they? What are their names, and what are their stockhold ings In concerns profiting by the tar iff? And the amounts of their on conscionable profiteering? Such facts are pertinent to the discussion. Their ( narration on the floor of the Senate by Mr. Borah would command the front page of the American press and would be read by the nation. If "guilt is personal,' as we are so fond of say lng in defense of corruption under I political parties, so, too, is profit per sonal. The principle of protection, it hard ly needs to be said, has the sanc tion of the American people. The abuse of that policy is the evil against which Mr. Borah and his as sociates protest, a position supported by public sentiment. The principle of protection has been perverted Into a system of soils venality. It ought to be smashed. Facts can smash it. St. Louig Post-Dispatch, :os Lying, on the other hand, is of the brain, or mind or sobI Indeed of aU three. It has been said that children and fools cannot lie. The art then seems to be oae of man's maturity. Some intellectual power must go into' it. Many wise men hare ' said the words have become almost proverbial -that liars must have good memor ies if they are to "get away" with their falsification. In a lie may be found "the fine felicity and flower of wickedness." To be a great liar is an achievement, though an evil one, and has brought fame to many men perhaps to some women. While no good man would covet this' distinc tion. It is a distinction, none the less. :o: It is said that modern poets don't receive Justice.

KOHREIX Corner 5th and Main JJ0T INSANE JUST ANGRY A psychiatrist who testified in the recent trial of young Earle Peacox, who was convicted of murdering his wife, made one of the most eminent ly sensible remarks we have yet heard from a psychiatrist on the witness stand. Peacox was setting up the 'emo tional insanity" racket for a defense, and it was pointed out to this epy cbiatrist that once, repairing a radio set, Peacox had become so enraged that he smashed the set all to pieces. This, it was asserted, proved that he was emotionally unstable and not responsible for the murder of his wife. But the psychiatrists said: "That was not a symptom of emo tional instability. It was anger. It could have bee-n cured by a spank ing." We do wish that a little common, ordinary horse sense like that could be Injected into a few more of our murder trials. It's refreshing. :o: THE FALL CASE The case of the United States against Albert B. Fall, a former sen- (ator from New Mexico and a former I cabinet official, will be called Cor I trial in a Washington court some time in October. It is said. It has been so long since the beginning of the trial of Mr. Fall on tne cnarge He was acquitted on one charge, but the charge that he accepted a bribe lln connection with leasing Elk Hills naval oil reserve, still remains to be tried. The case has been continued from time to time on account of Fall's ill health. There are those who say this illness has been feigned, but the prob ability is he has really been 11L Perhaps, he will never be conviCt- led in the court but he has already been convicted Ln the tribunal of popular opinion and his punishment must be nearly as heavy as If he had been tried and convicted in court. -:o: Many, a girl -arrives at.r the office looking as if she hadn't had time for her clothes' to catch up .wlth her.
