CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ofede] BY ARTHUR BRISBANE Asked his opinion of Mr. Craig's Sentence for contempt of court, W. G. McAdoo wires this writer as fol lows: "Comptroller Craig’s criticism never seemed to me to exceed legal or professional proprieties. The freedom to make fair comment upon judicial action is just as essential to the operation and security of de mocratic institutions as a like free dom to comment on the acts of other governmental departments. “I do not believe that the ends of law and order can be carved best by granting immunity to the Judi ciary from fair criticism. Other wise, we are in danger of establish ing a judicial tyranny. "Since the Supreme Court has sus tained Judge Mayer's position, 1 should, if in his place, remit the sentence on the ground that tha dignity and authority of his court have been sufficiently vindicated and that no further action is neces sary in the case of the technical contempt, which, as T understand it, was not intentional." “W. Q. McAdoo.” W. G. McAdoo Is at present the most conspicuous candidate for the democratic nomination. Hiram John son, most conspicuous republican candidate, outside the White House, has already expressed himself vlg> orously on the Craig case. Apparently, the process of stop* ping criticism by sending critics to Jail is not taken kindly in America. What President Coolldge will do Is not yet announced. It does not seem probable that he will fall to use his power In rebuke of star chamber methods. Mr. McAdoo Speaks of Ihe Supreme court having "sustained Judge May er’s position.” The supreme court, however, did not decide *he case jn full, by the means. It mfiefy de clared that Mr. Craig’s lawyers had gone the wrong way about setting aside the sentence for contempt. And Justices Holmes and Brandels em phatically denounced the sentence Imposed. If Judge Mayer Is wise and listens to public opinion Instead of heed ing sycophants that surround all Judges, he will find a way out of the difficulty for himself. Whryfc beavers need houses, they cut down trees, dam a stream, then build with entrance below ths water, safe and warm. No one ever saw a beaver wonder ing, "where can I find a place to live?" That nonsense Is left to men, of whom millions, with all their science and intellect, now lack decent hous ing, even in this rich nation. S. W. Straus, of New York and Chicago, who has built houses all over the United States, financing within 20 years, probably, nure building of homes than any other 10 men, recently discussed the hous ing problem with President Cool idge. Mr. Straus told the presi dent that this nation, for building alone, will require eight billions bf capital in the immediate future. It’s a big program, but It has this good side: It means continuation of good times In building, much work and good pay for mechanics for years ahead. If work can be kept plentiful and wages good, there will be no need about worry as regards prosperity. Senator Ferris, of Michigan, In a farewell talk to the “home town" says great fortunes should not be used at their discretion by heirs, ignorant of life. He proposes not merely to tax Inheritances, but to absorb thorn, the government taking practically all. It does seem foolish for the child of a reservation Indian or the half Fi'.iplno child of an American sol dier to Inherit, with the “right" to squander, millions of oil dollars. Unit there Is something Involved mure important than the squander ing of some millions or even billions. 'i'he country’s development needs ha:d work from the ablest men up to the hour of death. And men will work hard for their children keeping at It long after they have got all they need and more. f!ay to them "your children can no; have It," and you kill their am bit.on. Foolish, perhaps, but it’s so. A coal black lion killer In Africa demands 60 fat black wives as his reward. Most foolish, for lie does not need so many. But let him have them. He won’t kill lions. It you refuse. I.et Inheritances be well taxed, as in England, that great accumulations may gradually melt. But don’t kill Incentive with any kind of taxation. Incentive to hard work is more im portant to the nation than any number of millions, no matter how foolishly spent. Senator Ferris says that young i men and women have a much bet ter chance in life If they start with little. Quite tfue. Even a half-fool can j succeed In spite of poverty. It takes | a superior being to succeed In spite of wealth and in spite of the flat tery that goes with wealth.

That’s good for the country. L< arned financial writers are dis j cussing "Just what will be the ef 1 feet on this country when Europe is finally pacified?" Yi ur great grandchildren won’t be able to answer that question, nor their grandchildren. When the nations become really pacified, emulation replacing selfish competition, no man demanding or wanting more than he really needs, material problems will solve them selves. But that's a long way off. And always the question remains: "What will be the color of the meek that Inherit the earth—white, black or yellow?” You cannot have widespread peace or meekness until that color ques tion is settled.

According to Secretary Wal lace, 11 of the leading crops are worth, this year, 12,000,000,000 more than last year. There seems to be some prosperity. The twentieth century, carrying this writer, and his portable type ma chine, from Chicago to New York, runs In four sections each with as many Pullman cars as a big engine can pull. And this 20 hour run costs much more than it did to go, first cabin, with all you could eat, from New York to Liverpool on the steamship Spain, in 1878. However, if you get more, it does not make so much difference if you pay more. To those with old fash ioned incomes, however, new fash ioned prices are not so easy. The material and mechanical prob lems of travel are solved in America, as far as they can be without the flying machine.

Paris newspapers say “American bankers are financing the return of the crown prince to Germany.” Those papers exaggerate the Insanity of the American bankers. He finances queer things, sometimes, but there 1b a limit. Paris papers, with Germany repud iating and ceasing payment of re parations, will soon have things more serious and dangerous than “Ameri can bankers” to think about. What might have been a pretty good German goose with golden eggs is dead. Her financial funeral will be painful for the pall bearers. Let him read that can read, and unload what is not good to keep. Some nice European bonds, of var ious nationalities may be bargains, soon. Learn from Germany’s once crown prince, back on his landed estate at Oels, that it pays to own a piece of this solid earth. His hope of a crown is gone, or dim, and gone his military hat with skull and cross bones on it. His miilions, or billions of marks, if he has them, will not buy enough to feed the dachshund at his feet. ,?ut that land will feed him. Pota toes, onions, carrots, grow as they did before the war. ■ Cows give milk, bees make honey, at the same old rate. Own a piece of the earth, take Vol taire’s advice “let us cultivate our garden” and you may laugh at the fall of the mark, or the rise of bol shevism. Real estate agents, here is your text: there is no real security, outside of real estate. Lawyers throw around their in sults carelessly. Samuel Untermyer, getting a separation for Mrs. Stokes, wife of a rich New York man, says: “My client would no more live with him than with a kangaroo.” The fact that a kangaroo can't sue for libel does not justify such talk. The kangaroo is a good husband. As soon as the baby is born, and tucked in the marsupial pouch, he goes’ off and forgets it. What more could you ask. And he never boxes unless men teach him, or attack him. Pick on the purple nosed baboon, the wallowing wart hog or laughing hyena, Mr. Untermyer, but don’t in sult the blameless kangaroo. He’s respectable. Chicago, with a Jail for human beings called a disgrace to civiliza tion. plans a zoological garden, in which animal prisoners will be made to feel at home; no cages with iron bars, instead, nice homelike pits. Philanthropy says "shame,” but there’s some doubt about it. The animal prisoners have committed no crime, and besides, they amuse the children, and educate adults. Crime at this particular moment, knowing no geographical or other limits, seems to need discouragement. In Kansas City, bandits, masked, with sawed off shot guns, enter a bank, compel customers and clerks to lie down on the floor, while the vice president fills their big bag with bundles of money. One lady In sists on standing and praying. The bandits don’t molest her, and escape, In their car. At about the same hour. In Brook lyn, “wild east” bandits kill two bank messengers, take $46,000 drive off through an overawed crowd. How will It be when bandits drop down before the bank door In their helicopter, collect, then fly up, per pendicularly. Nations that set the example kill ing and teaching killing as a patriotic profession, must expect crime to fol low. Glass hair and tangerine ears will be in vogue for the girl who has bobbed her hair, it is announced by the hair dres sers of the nation in convention at New York city. The “hair” is said to be a "shower of colored glass which cannot be distinguished from hair, and which cannot be made to match or harmonize with the wearer’s gown ” Bobbed hair will stilt be considered corrct for day and sport wear, the "transformation" being donned in the evening. The Canadian Pulp and Paper asso ciation says that newsprint production In six months of 1923 has set a record Up to the end of June. Canadian mills manufactured 619.802 tons of newsprint paper, which represented a daily aver age production of 3,973 tons, or about 470 tons more than the dally average throughout 1922. This tremendous in crease is due largely to the addition of new machines to the productive capa city of the mills but also reflects an increased efficiency of operation and the speeding up of existing machines. The penalty among the Hottentots for widows who marry again is a some what severe one.

Doubtless many young men were employed ami discharged before one wns found who could learn to take 300 hats from men entering the dining room nnd distribute them as the diners left, without checks and without an error. In a city lunch eon club with nearly 400 members, for example, says Edgar James Swift, the usuaf method of paging a man who Is wanted lms been changed to asking the colored man In the lint room whether the man in question has ar rived. And a glance over the hat racftf gives accurate Information. Conversation with those who dfsplny this wpnderful and peculiar memory has always brought essentially tha same reply. They have no system. They talk vaguely about something which, in psychological language. Is association between the appearance oi the hat and the face of the owner.— Scribner’s Magazine Jazz is what democracy will do to mn6lc.
