G. Lukens, serving a life term in the state penitentiary for being accessory to a murder com mitted in Cheyenne couaty, following a bank robbery, Lukens comes from a wealthy fam ily in Pennsylvania, and Governor Sproul is one of those who are ask ing that clemency be given the young man. He came west to see the coun try, and fell into the company of a man named Cornell, who was ostensibly getting orders for repro duction of photographs. In fact he stuck up the banker in the small town of Sunol and escaped in the car that Lukens was driving for him. Cornell has refused to take any part in the movement for Lukens’ re lease. He is also serving a life term. Lukens’ story is that after he found out that Cornell had robbed the bank, he got away from him. It was fol lowing this that Cornell turned on the posse that was following him and killed two members of it. Attorneys and detectives have been working for weeks on the case getting up evi dence to convince the board of par dons that he should be released. His case will be finally heed next week.

He drew tem porary compensation to the amount of several thousand dollars, and now desires to be placed on the permanent payroll. His claim was denied by the com pensation commissioner. The em ployer and Insurance company insists that he can do other work than that of bricklaying and therefore cannot be said to be permanently disabled. Hls lawyer told the court in reply, that It does not lie with the re sponsible parties to claim that he can work at being an orator, agitator op lobbyist, because bricklaying Is hls business and that is what he cannot work at.

Lincoln, Neb., June 18 (Special).— The Fanners Telephone Company of Fordyce, Cedar county, has been lummoned to appear before the state railway commission on July 7 to ex plain why it reduced its rates with out getting proper authority. A year ago the company officials came to Lincoln and asked for rates of $2 a month on business and $1.40 on resi dence and farm service. They showed that their total gross revenue did not equal the amount paid out for salaries and wages, and had no dif ficulty in getting the rates asked for. When the folks back home heard about it they raised such a row that the directors met and concluded to allow the residence and farm rates to remain at $1.25. They never told the commission about it, and it didn’t find out until an examiner stumbled onto the fact. A citation has also been issued for the Guide Rock branch of the Glen wood Telephone Company to come forward on July 8 and explain why it raised its rates without asking au thority. The law makes the rates of the commission the only legal ones, and it is as much an offense to low er as to raise without authority. The penalty is $10,000 for each violation. THINK JUDGMENT IN DAMAGE CASE TOO BIG Lincoln, Neb., June 18 (Special).— Asking that the supreme court order a new trial of the case where Flor ence S. Deter, an Omaha stenog rapher, secured a $13,000 Judgment for Injuries sustained when run down by their antos. S. S. Carlisle and W. W. Hoagland, wealthy residents of that city, give as one reason why the jury landed on them so hard that it was because they owned big cars and the girl was a working woman. This engendered a passion and prejudice reflected in the amount of the verdict They are willing to pay $5,000, and ask that the case be sent back with a direction to enter' judgment for that sum. The girl was waiting for a street car. and Hoagland’s auto, driven by his wife, skidded 60 feet and hit that of Carlisle, which in turn struck the girl. She claims to have lost the senses of taste and smell, but the defendants say this is largely im agination that Christian Science at something like that could cure. TO BE BITTER FIGHT ON UNION DEPOT PLAN Mitchell, S.' D., June 18.—Huron was Citizens of Wolsey are banded to gether to prevent the building of a union station at that place.

The court of appeals of the District of Columbia did Itself credit Mon Say and helped to remove from the Judiciary the charge of stacking the cards* against progressive legislation. It sustained the district minimum wage law by a vote of 2 to 1. The decision can be looked upon as putting an end to a* . long and bitter controversy. When a nfrnnar ease from Oregon went up to the supreme court of the United States the Oregon law was sustained by the - tie vote of 4 to 4. However, since that ume a number of things have hap pened. In the first place Justice Brandies, who wss disqualified because he had) been of counsel In the Oregon case, la free to vote on new nWmom wage eases and he has been an ardent and most able upholder of the principle. Indeed, the cause owes as ranch to his legal ability as to any other assistance it has had in this country. In the second place, Chief Justice White Is dead and he was one of the* Justices opposed to these laws. It Is not at all probable that anybody who le appointed to take his place will oppose this form of protection to women. — Opinion along this line is developing rapidly. Certainly whoever is appointed i to succeed Chief Justice White will be a conservative, but the conservative of today Is not the conservative of yesterday. One development that undoubtedly affected the outcome In this case was the decision recently in the supreme court of the United States that the leglslatore has the power to fix renting conditions when it judges that the emergency requires such power. If the legislature has the power to deal; with housing conditions, how c&n It be denied the power to l^lslate that women shall not be employed at wages below a certain minimum standard? The rent case decided much more than the specific question. It showed that the supreme court had reached a point whets it would not undertake to kill social legislation on thin excuses about "due process of law.** The argument against the constitutionallty of the law was along the line* that If we start on this line of public welfare legislation we shall find our selves ultimately automobiling down the slippery slope to bolshevism- It was the same argument used by Justice McKenna in the rent case. Chief Justice White knocked that argument out in two different ways. Ills first answer was like that of Justice Holmes in the rent case. It was not. the business of the court, he said, to go arguing about what might happen-, sometime, but to decide the case in front of It. But he did not stop there. He let loose his opinion alss about the rationaUty of that kind of reasoning. According to him, bolshevism is far from being encouraged by showing that our Institutions as they now exist are capable of protecting the weak. In his opinion, the very best wa$ to prevent the advent of bolshevism In this* country is to show that our institutions are elastic enough to allow us to obtain protection without any revolutionary measures. This argument looks so reasonable on the face of It that It seems as If it. ought not bo necessary even to say it, But It Is necessary. There are a lot. of persoas tn Washington, some In congress, some on the bench, who think they can petrify the world. But they cannot. Trusts Trying to Jerk Out , Trade Commission's Teeth By Norman Hapgood, of Universal Service. The real meaning of “less government In business” is a drive against; the federal trade commission. That drive la now on full tilt. On the other band, *n the tendency la toward more government In business. Extensive steps have beea taken to help the farmer keep up his export business. Fur the benefit of geassai export business the war finance corporation has been. Revived. The department of commerce has been the center for planning to promote business activity and straighten out business difficulties. Never hfc. its hlstocr has it taken so energetic a part In tfee country's business. Car* thinly not for eight years (and probably not for over 20'years) baa business* bad as dose and constant contact with the political powers-find as cordial a heagng aa It has today. “Less government in business.” then, on tbe promoting side has no mean ing whatever. On Ahat side It is altogether more government in business. Its total significance is to be found Oh the regulative side. Less regulation of business is what It means and it means that emphatlcaly. The three crest regulative bodies are the Interstate Commeree commission, the Federal Reserve board, and the Federal Trade commission. They have heretofore all been successfully kept out of politics. Whether any or all of them are to be put Into politics now will develop soon^In the case of the Interstate Commerce commission the question will center entirely around the* treatment of the railroad problem. The latest appointment was Aha J. Esrh, an able man, but a man, of course, thoroughly committed to the policy illu strated by the Esch-Cummlns MIL President Harding has Indicated that he Intended to let the Federal Re serve board go along as It has been going. The indication that there will be an attempt to Influence its treatment of the credit situation was not borne out. It has made Its own decisions regardless of suggestions from outside. The attack on the Federal Trade commission, however, is Immediate and determined. The plan Is to reduce it to a nullity by putting Its publicity powers In the commerce department and Its powers of control In the hands of the attorney general. H these two steps are taken there will be no sens*, at all In keeping It alive. The big drive against It Is being conducted by lumber Interests and tha* <: packers. There Is a delicate situation also with the steel trust, centering around the “Pittsburgh base" as the price fixing method is qpUed, but that. , relation has not developed as far as the activities of the ether two trusts. The method of pulling all the teeth out of the Federal Trade commission will be the method of re-organization. It will be re-organized out of any power except the power to converse with anybody who wants to call. It will be supposedly left with the power to tell any business man what he can do without breaking the law. That attempt was made In 1915 and 1916 and completely failed. It was clear that no statement made by a representative of a big trust about what they were going to do would be adequate to show what they were in fact, planning to do. This Impossibility has been made clearer also within the last > year or two. Certain trusts have asked the commission for advice. Then after a long delay a contract is brought around to Washington supposedly based on that advice. The commission points out that It is not really in lino with what has b'-en said. After another long delay another contract 1» brought with the jame result. By the time an agreement is reached what ever competition strangling enterprise was on foot has been accomplished. Meanwhile the commission has been kept from action to protect the smaller competitor. The moot question is whether the present administration believes in com petition. The Federal Trade commission is now supposed to protect legiti mate competition. The contest is unavoidable. It will be forced by about 20 senators and about 100 representatives. The agricultural bloc in congress Is favorable to the commission. They will put up a rather pretty fight to prevent the commission from being given a dose of laudanum. 4444444444444444444 4 AMERICA’S HERITAGE. 4 - 4 4 From the president’s address at 4 ■f Valley Forge. 4 4 This Is the heritage from Val- 4 4 ley Forge—equality of opportun- 4 4 ity, sustained in Justice, with 4 4 maintained authority under law 4 4 and order.

From the New York Post The French government will com mence distribution within the next few weeks of new patented matches that are made to withstand moisture and strike into flame even though first submerged In water. The development of this match into practical commercial use has been the result of some years of laboratory research conducted by Rene Dubrlaay, engineer of the state match factories __ Some Wool Facta. From the Chicago Tribune. Fearing the farmers1 wool pooling and other co-operative projects might be misunderstood as a result of statement* by Joseph P. Griffin, president of the Chicago board of trade, in the pit debate at Springfield, J. W. Coverdale. secre tary of the American Farm Bureau federation made the fallowing state ment: "In his zeal to defend the Chicago board of trade. President Joseph P. Griffin has seen fit to attack the entire farmers1 co-operative movement. He says that many Illinois farmers poole-t their wool a year or^more ago on prom ise of receiving good prices for it an.f that the wool is as yet unsold. "What are the facts? In 1919 Illinois farmers pooled 449.622 pounds of wool.. So well satisfied were they with the re sults of this new method of selling wood co-operatively that in 1920 they came back and consigned 1,677,007 pounds oF wool to the pool. "Despite the fact, Mr. Griffin say* tho wool is yet unsold, our co-operative wool marketing shows that all except " 70.060 pounds have been sold at fro i 22 to 24 cents, which is from 6 to l
