PHONE 229 Soennichsen Building 4. .t-M-t-I"!-!"! ,M..I,.M,I,.I..I.,T WHEN TO TALK President Lowell of Harvard, In! his first newspaper interview, boast ed that he has not spoken "to the press for seventeen years." Recently Bishop Candler of Georgia made a similar boast, although the bishop contributes a weekly article to the newspapers. They make the boast somewhat in the sense that whatever success they have achieved has come from refusing to talk to the newspapers. There is an element of common sense in refraining from interviews with the newspapers, but the common sense comes not in refusing to "speak to the press" but knowing when to speak. Many men have found the newspapers vehicles to public enlight enment and to the enlargement of their own statures when they have had something to say. That is the chief thing. That is the only reason for giving a newspaper interview, or writing a book or even opening one's mouth in a general conversa tion. The man who is innately fool ish cannot cloak it by refraining from newspaper Interviews, or from writ ing books or from speaking in public. On the other hand, when he indulges indiscriminately in any of them, he only magnifies his own folishness. That is aptly illustrated by any news paper in any city. Some one person generally intrudes himself into the news columns with an interview that is both foolish and unenlightening. President Roosevelt was contin ually in hot water because of his verbosity. He was either blasting away on the spur of the moment, at Senator Fcraker, or Aalbinger, or at the editor of the New York World, or the Indianapolis News, which made it particularly embarrassing for him in the Panama Canal matter. Upon one occasion, when a federal judge used his own judgment and his own inde pendence and ruled contrary to the president's wishes in a criminal libel action, instituted against the Indian apolis News by the federal govern ment at the president's direction, Mr. Roosevelt, in the heat of passion called the judge "a liar and crook." He made himself ridivulous, of course, and spent much time later explaining away and answering the charge that he was attempting to tear down the dignity of the federal bench. Mr. Depew is New York's most loquacious man. A few weeks ago he mde himself somewhat ridiculous by suggesting that a good combination for the presidency and vice-presidency would be Coolidge and Al Smith. Newspapers which had pre viously accepted the Depew interviews as oracular utterances have become somewhat suspicious of the soundness of his views. The ideal newspaper is either a truthful mirror or a truthful camera. Its function is not to magnify the stature of the man who appears before the mirror, or to tint the picture he gives the public through his utter ances and his actions. Mirrors are are newspapers responsible for the foolish people who talk through them. :o: LIEUT. HUNTER. In case you think your own life is a bit tough, consider the case of Lieut. brought down eight German planes. Then, a couple of years ago, his plane came down in a crash and he broke his back. He recovered, went back to aviation, and had to jump out in a parachute while 2,000 feet' above the ground when his stabilizer frame collapsed. Now he has again flirted with death by leaping 800 feet in a para chute, of course to the ice of Lake S. Clair. His plane caught fire. Some day, if that young man doesn't watch out, he's going to get into danger. :o: IT CAN'T BE DONE' Bya vote of 139 to 27, the Italian senate undertook to legislate Italy back to the Dark Ages. The vote ap proved a bill to forbid strikes, en force arbitration and to create so - called labor courts whose powers are mandatory. Mussolini spoke for the bill in his usual fire-eating way, and ' only 27 men in a once august de liberative body dared to oppose his will. On its face a blow against labor and all the things that labor has been championing for more than 100 years, the new Italian law will act as ai boomerange in labor's favor. It is, (after all, impossible in one session of a legislative body to make futile the blood, the tears and the sweat of a century. o: FOB SALE White Orpington Hatching Eggs J4.50 per 100.

One of them was a young man whose name was cairied on the Roose velt's articles as Ernest Heitman. He died gallantly, heroically, venturing out in a frail lifeboat when he, alone of all the ships company, knew that he could not swim a stroke. He was dropped into the water , clutching futilely at a dangling roap and sank out of sight. And now it develops that he was not really named Ernest Heitman. The real Ernest Heitman is living in New York, alive and well, driving a taxicab. Heitman was a sailor some years ago but quit the sea as sailors are always threatening to do. He knows only that his locker, in a sea man's club, was broken Into one night four years ago and his seaman's papers were stolen. Investigation indicates that the the sailor who shipped on the Roose velt as Ernest Heitman was a young German who found it hard to get a berth because he was not an American citizen. So he did what he could; he stole the papers cf Heitman and used them. It's an odd little mixup. Suppose the young German had known, when he broke into Heitman's locker, what those papers would bring him; how they would lead him to an unmarked grave far down in the cold Atlantic, in dead winter; would he have taken them? Perhaps not. And yet It doesn't really matter. The seeds of heroism, forgetfulness of self, were buried in his heart all the time, even if he did rob a fellow seaman of his papers. Hidden in the soul of this unknown young sailor was the capability to rise to a brave deed. Somehow it doesn't lessen our ad miration for hira to know that he' committed a mild form of burglary. He was ready when the time came. He met tne big test oin cheerily over the side to his death like a hero. Wanderer, never he was, what- iever his nationality the unknown hero was a chap we can gladly claim as an American. :o: This country has been a nation 145 j years before it was possible the federal government. It probably , will be that long again before the nescessary sumptuary legislation Is enacted enabling scofflaws to kid the police. :o: There is only one chance in twenty million years, says an astronomer, that the earth will get hit by a comet.

Others who prefer a lit- holders and other creditors of the as under the flexible provision of the tje quicker action incline to the sociation are hereby notified to pre tariff act. Subsequently he referred theory that some 6neriff dumped the sent th notes and oth er claims for , . . . payment to the Greenwood State ua iu u.m.x.uu mure luiuiuiauuu uu 119 1 ckuwuicuua - 1 V 1 ,,,! tion that the duty on linseed oil be reduced. The latest executive action in this connection is an increase of 50 per cent in the duty on butter. Tariff commission records show that it has made eight recommenda-i tions for duty increases under the flexible clause, and that in very case the president has acted promptly In accordance with Its suggestion. They also show that it has recommended duty reductions in three instances. and that in only one that on the anu mat m oniy one iuti on me duty on quail, which, from the public view, is insignificant the president has followed its recommendation. In the sugar case he postponed action for a long time and finally rejected the commission's finding. With re spect to linseed oil, an important raw material of the paint and varnish industry, he shows a similar dispo sition to avoid a duty reduction which would mean something to the Dublic trenerallv generally. If any further proof were needed that the flexible clause is a delusion the butter case affords it. Government f. , , ... . , figures show that this country pro - duced 98 pe rcent of its own supply, and Indicate, if they do not prove, has little to fear from foreign com - petition. But nevertheless the duty is increased 5 cents a pound, which increase, it is reasonable to suppose, will be passed on to the consumer. On its face the increased butter duty looks like another tariff con cession to the farmer. As a matter of fact, it is for the benefit of the great dairy interests which produce little or none of their milk and cream. The average American farmer has foo- gotten what a churn looks like. He will pay the butter duty exactly like the city consumer in an increase in price, from which he will derive no benefit whatever. -:o:- CALLES' STRONG-ARM METHODS When Gen. Enrique Estrada pre dicts the down fall of President Calles and his government as a result of his policies, his remarks must be accepted with reservations. As one of Adolfo de la Huerta's leaders in the revolu tion against the Obregon government, as a man exiled from his native Mex ica. he speaks as a partisan. Yet the reports from Mexico give some color to his statement that the Calles government is violating the will of the people. The street demon strations and pitched battles between the people and the government agents, the atmosphere of martyrdom with which the departed religious have been surrounded, the affectionate and emotional farewells these are all signs of a genuine hostility against Calles' policy. Wholly apart from every other con sideration, Calles has acted ruthlessly and tactlessly. We doubt If even old Diaz in his heyday of absolutism would have undertaken such high handed disregard of the deep religious attachments of the people. Calles deportation of foreign religious may be justified in his own mind, but to the simple peon it is sacrilege. We believe firmly that Mexico should be permitted to work out Its own destiny and its own salvation, but as a spectator on the sidelines we cannot but feel that Calles is very unwise to act so high-handedly as to inflame the Mexican people. Persecution of this sort always has a backfire. It is a method of gov ernment which is medieval in its harshness. In other ways Calles has shown evidence of enlightened states manship. Here he is harking back to to kid'the DarDarity or a Cortez.
