W.N WOULD COURT
The passage in the President's in
augural address which suggeMcd a
reflection of strops emotion when it
was written referred to the World
Court.
Phrases like, "we otisht not to
withhold our own sanction because
o( any small and inessential differ
ence," "we ought to eng-ase in no
roflnemems of logic, no sophistries
and no subterfuges to argue, away
the undoubted duty of this country;"
by dint of our leadership in the
world we should "actively and com
prehensively to signify its approval
and bear its full share of the respon
sibility of a candid and disinterested
attempt at the establishment of a
tribunal for the administration of
even-handed justice between nation
and nation."
Which led up to the resounding
phrase:
"The wright of our enormous in
fluence must be cast upon the side
of a reign not of force but of law
and trial, not by battle but by rea
son. "
The President repeated in strong
er language li is previous ajvoeaey
of the World Court, as Mr. Harding
had done before him. Attempt at
adhesion in the World Court, there
fore, can be accepted as being an
administration policy of prime im
portance. The House of the OSth Congress
"stood foursquare with the President
upon the matter, having approved
our adherence to the protocol es
tablishing the World Court by a ma
jority of Sul to US. Unly in the
Senate has there been wavering.

bought one of the newfangled two

to a police tatltm the august of

ordinances and the law books for
an hour and could tiu l no mention
of speeding on motorcycle's being
against the law. In fact, motor
cycles were not even mentioned.
Knowing the lueticuluu.s care with
whieh justice insisted on every nl

had to abandon the charge and

have to give tho I. C. C. authority

this unwieldy body discusses, de

interstate bus business will have
advanced to a point where the un

The men who make and - break
the English language nowadays are
the linotype operators, aided and
abetted by proofreaders who get
tired of making technical correc
tions which sometimes are not
technically corrected.
Capitalization in the news col
umns or the lack of it has
been almost entirely dominated by
the convenience of the typesetters,
who nowadays operate a keyboard
instead ofpicking type frfcm a ease,
like the accomplished and learned
Oifj-limers did. Itutln-r than culti
vate rheumatism In an arm by
ri aching over to the capital h tter
keyboard which is to one side
o' tli o small-btter keyboard they
would prefer to avoid capital let
ters altogether. If the carefree type-tiekh-rs
had their way a sentence
would look something like, ibis:
"president coolidge and secretary
hughes left Washington for a trip
down the potornac on the inay
tlower today."
These ingenious gentry haven't yet
reached Ihat point of utilitarian el
fi -ieney, but the wish and ib sire is
already in existence. Unly the fact
that proofreaders are not yet en
tirely bereft of reason nor entirely
blind pp-ventts the m-t important

When Ihirnnin sail a fool wis
born evry minu'e tno "Spanish
prisoner" .swindle was ah-.a-Iy an
Industry of international iinpoi
tance, v. ii h headquarters in Ma
drid. Nobody knows how much
money has iK-en sent i0 Spain in tie
half century that this swindle lias
been in operation, but it is reason
able to suppose the total would be
suffiebnt to purchase a half dozen
liarnum circuses and a few sky
scrapws thrown In.
Xow it is learned in a dispatch
from Madrid that "General" I!u
mon de Santa, alleged head of the
1S25 edition of the Infamous swindle
gang, is under arrest. Some wealthy
victim must have gone to Spain to
testify In person, the only manner
j in which, under SpnniMi ln, yro.-e.
j ttitiwii is po.ssild.
Ki?ry town in the Vnlted Btatoi
has a victim of this swlndla among
the population. Tliu wldo extent of
the dwindle bus concerned the
Slate 1 lepartment greatly, which by
tlio way was also .concerned over
tho ease, with which supposedly
usiute Americans fell for the for
eign b'aiiidUhiiietils,
Yet I he enormous buccpm of this
well-established swindle proved be
yond a doubt that at heart we arc
sympathetic and anxious to help a
person In distress. Thousands of
Americans have received mysterious
letters from Spain written lit
Knglish slating' that the writer
wus held a prisoner without ball
on a cooled-up charge. The pris
oner had plenty of money to fur
nish ball, but It was in a hidden
satchel which he could not reach
while held In jail. If tho Hylupu
thetic Aniericun would send u sum
of money to furnish the ball, Ihe
unfortunate prisoner, on gaining
his freedom, would share the money
In the satchel with his benefactor.
The prisoner's address looked like
1ba,t of a bastlle, but it only looked
that way to the American. The
swindlers got the names of pros
pective victims from agents on this
Side.
When -pickings we're slow addi
tional bait would be thrown ret gul
lible victims. This variant had to
do with a beautiful daughter of the
prisoner, whom he would be glad
to marry off to the American if he
sent the money. Jinny an American
sent the money merely to get fin
opportunity to become acQualnted
with the beaulifiil daughter.
Vnder Spanish law intent to de
fraud Is not a crime; and the ac
tual fraud is not punishable unless
the plaintiff appears In person.
After being bunked out of 25 or 50
dollars no bunkoes eared to spend
money and time to go to Spain as
a witness and be laughed nt.
The archives of the Stale De
partment are loaded with com
plaints about the Spanish prisoner
swindle, but the department could
do nothing but give advice.
Now that the supposed Spanish
arch-swindler is arrested more
money will remain in the country.
CATERING TO VISITORS
ix xr:w York
Nothing succeeds in New York
like the hotel business, with the
theater business running neck and
neck. Another enormous hotel is to
be. constructed and two more thea
ters. All of whieh. Is additional evi
dence of how the transient popula
tion of from l!jii,iftti to 4tiO,iCitj as
sists in "building up the city." Na
tive New Yorkers are fond of Imag
ining that, they are responsible for
the city's undisputed parainonntey
as an amusement enter; but the
harassed New Yorker, who is
briskly engaged in hustling for
a livelihood, with most of his time
laken up in so doing even as
the fellow living in Kalamazoo or
j Kankuk"e doesn't spend any
i more time amusing himself than
the average citizen elsewhere. He
j g' tfi tired at the end of a busy day
and likes his sleep, just like the
I rest of us. It is the visiting brethren
trom the sticks" who keep the ho
tel mdUMTry and the theater Indus
try at top notch in the great metro
polis, and not the l,H-;ll burgher.
The several hundred thousand
j transient, visitors w ho are domi
I etle.l in N--W York every day In the
I 5 ear keep the high life cauldron
j hoilinH. Mosi, of theiu are prenvlit
"on business;" but it makes a dlf
I fet-ener; when one is in New York
ion business and wlv-n one is al
l tending to business at home. The
1 main loudness of visitor in New
1 York Li to have a good time. That
j is ny New Yorker3 arc consiantly
I constructing new hotels and now
i theat'r.s. The visiting buver from
Keokuk or South Bond, having set
back the firm $Hiii in getting there
in style befitting its dignity and im
portance, is not loth to buy as many
'l seats as time permits which
is every night while in town. The
native New Yorker, unless he is one
of the idle bourgeois, l.s content with
the reor-end and hss costly scats
or fills the film temples.
Catering to tourists is New York's
greatest industry; and the best
terhniqiie o: the town is to make
suckers of them all. Which Isn't
horrible To contemplate in the least,
as the first inclination o: a tourist

A Seal Story
By Dr. Walter K. Traprock
One of my most profitable ad
ventures was when, as a yoiuig man,
I was prospecting among the vast
salt deposits of southern Russia.
These lie. at a level considerably
lower than that of tho nearby Cas
pian, sea. During the course of a
severe storm the Caspian broke Its
hounds and flowed into a salt bed
which I had Just staked out. With
the rushing waters came countless
fish. Two weeks laler my tempir
ary lake had seeped away or evap
orated, and I found lt bed filled
with every imaginable kind of flsli,
.uready salted and ready to mar
ket. The knowledge that they would
keep indefinitely made me careless,
and 1 delayed too long. During the
heavy fall rains the near-by Tchika
river overflowed Its banks, swqpt
into my saltery and carried most,
of my fish into the Caspian. Hut
this ironic trick of Fat.o was not
the end, Not far out in the Cas
pian, ut the point where the river
Hood boiled into the sea, was a
reef densely populated by seals.
They fell gluttonously upon my
fish, gorged themseh'es to repletion
and died miserably of thirst by the
hundreds. What 1 had lost in the
fsh business I made up a- hundred
fold in my harvest of seal-skins.
(Here Dr. Traprock paused, and
there was a twinkle in his tye
which suggested that we were, per
haps, to take his seal story with a
grain of the salt with which it so
profitably started. Editor.)

much space today to I'residont Coo

terday's ceremonies in Washington
little comment oil the speech has
so far appeared, the Liverpool Tost
and the Manchester Guardian alone
among the great dallies discussing
editorially Mr. Coolldgc's utterances.
Both these newspaper find in the
president's words the promise of a
continued and growing American In
terest in world affairs. They con
sider his rc-statcment of belief In
tho need of American adhesion to
the world court, and his references
to the hope that international con
ferences may occur at "frequent In
tervals," of outstanding Importance
to Kurope,
The Liverpool Post sees in the
address the determination of the
lTesident to make his personal in
fluence felt, and declares: "In that
event he may bo expected to talto
energtlo steps toward his schemes
for disarmament conferences and
for securing America's adherence to
tho protocol, establishing Ihe inter
national court of justice," tho presi

thinks, but it concludes that body
