Phone 422 TASSOCIATED PRE89 DISPATCH " WASHINGTON, April 1. Ambas sador Sharp at Paris was cabled by the state department for a report as to the circumstances surrounding me arrest ot Kaymond Swohoda, an American citizen, charged with hav ing set fire to the La Touraine, a French liner, on her recent trip from New York to Havre. Frinds of Swohoda in New York had brought press reports of his arrest to the department's attention and vouched for his American citizenship. It was pointed out tonight that for present the state' department could do no more than instruct Sharp to see that Swoboda gets a fair trial in the courts. Diplomatic negotiations can follow only in the case the am bassador reported there is reason for believing that justice has not been accorded. Swobodas right to the passport he exhibited in New York and Paris is already under investi gation by the justice department, a duplicate from the files of the state department having been referred to for that purpose. This however, is rgarded merely as a routine pro cedure, and there seemed no ground for doubting the man was entitled to whatever protection the Fnited States government extends its citizens under similar circumstances.

W. R. Nelson of The Kansas City Star is recovering from his serious illness. Abilene Reflector. And yet if these two things, his money and the circulation and adver tising record of his newspaper, were all that he had to his credit, Mr. Nelson probably would be glad enough to turn over and die. and no one would care, whether he did or didn't. What he would live for. and what all the people would have him live for is to continue in his splendid struggle a struggle that has been his life's work for those things in his town, his section and his Nation, which maek life better. 1 v " Death's cue in the Frank Stiles tragedy.

The Star has upheld every good movement. It has Supported the Prohibition Law; The Primary Law ; The Anti-Pass Law ; The Bairk Guaranty Law; The Civil Service Law for the state; The growing state institutions; The State Printing Law; The fight against the book trust; The Board of Control Law; The law regulating the state treas ury: The 2-cent fare and reduced freight rates. And every good thing which makes life in Kansas better and broader. In Mis souri, in Kansas City, in Oklahoma and In Nebraska he has fought similar fights. If he was just a rich man con nected with 'big business," it would make no difference whether he lived or died. If he had a great big newspaper only, no one would care what happened to him. But because he uses every j ounce of his great power for the com- mon good; because he tries to help tlie j helpless nnd to make life better for) those who need more in their lives , that is why this part of the Vnited j States has watched with eager joy ev ery gain Mr. Nelson made on the grim i reaper.
