recently. "But I didn't know there was a

carbon starts like a Jack Rabbit, purrs along

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,

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.

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.

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.
