Hideous Jealousy.
Another Air Route.
Flat and Round.
Coue for Farmers.
By Arthur Brisbane
— Copyright. 1526 by Star - —
CITY doctors, they work hard,
and too often their lives are
complicated by jealousy. Some
times their wives are jealous, for the
doctors are obliged to hold the wrists
of mournful lady pdtients. Some
times even their nurses are jealous.
Doctor William B. Borror. of West
Virginia for instance, was found
stabbed to death. The authorities
say his nurse did it, because she
was jealous of him.
IT isn’t always ns had as that, but
often nearly as bad. Jealousy is
the curse of the world, and a waste
of energy
Ladies, why be jealous? If he's
innocent he does not deserve it. If
guilty, he’s not worth your trouble.
THE first postoffice airplanes have
started across the continent from
Ix>s Angeles. Postmaster General
Mr. New has accomplished great
results in aviation promotion. Sepa
rate flying lines now connect the
Pacific ocean with the Atlantic from
Seattle, San Francisco. Los Angeles.
Less , than one hundred years ago
men on ponies were carrying the
mails.
IT is proposed to remove General
Andrews, head of the United
States Prohibit ion enforcement. He
is accused of saying that prohibition
is not working well, nnd that light
beer, would be better than bootleg
whiskey.
General Andrews could learn some
thing from the old-fashioned school
teacher, asked by trustees whether
he taught that the earth was round
or flat. Hp knew’ his trusters and
answered, “I teach both round and
flat.*
Republicans interested in
their party's welfare will con
aider the character and size of the
vote cast by Illinois agoing th*
World Court idea.
Senator McKinley and the World
Court were snowed under by the
greatest number of votes ever record
ed at any primary in the history
of Illinois. And the result was not
due to “the votes of Chicago, * al
though Chicago went 50.000 against
the court. A majority of more than
100.000 againet it came from the
rural districts, among the farmers.
This should be sufficient warn
ing, without further defeats, for ad
ministration candidates THAT THE
PEOPLE OF THE I NITED
WATER WANT TO BUN THEIR
OWN AFFAIRS, WITHOUT THE
HELP OF EUROPE.
CONG R ESSM A N KINCH ELC) E
of Kentucky, says the admin
istration is “giving the farmers the
Cone treatment,” meaning that the
administration is not doing anything
real.
The administration has at least
shown a desire to be of use to farm
ers. and that is more than you can
say of some other administrations.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE will be
interested in the British plan
to supply irrigation for tens of thou
sands of cotton acres in northern
Africa. Cotton of the best quality,
produced in a country where men
earn thirty-five cents a day. and
children five or ten cents, will make
subetnntial tariff protection for
American cotton absolutely neccr-
Z>XE definite thing, not along the
Cour line that the administra
tion should do is to dam the Colorado
river, making water and power that
now go to waste, available for farm
ers and cities.
And an all American caual, mak
ing this country independent of any
canal through Mexico should be part
of the program.

Mrs. Amos Graves Clashes
With Defense Counsel
During Questioning.
A clash between Mrs. Alios Graves,
slater of Tom Cooper, and defense at
torneys, and the testimony of Jess
Billings, giant stockman, that Ed
Knight's pistol was the only one he
saw in the room when* l ooper was
killed at an Apache street cold drink
stand a year ago last January, fea
tured the trial of Knight in Thirty
seventh District Con it Thursday.
Mrs. Graves and BillingtcCthe first
two state’s witnesses, occupied the

Tilts between defense and state's
counsel, arising from objections offer
ed by the former, enlivened the morn
ing session. *
MRS. GRAVES ON STAND.
“Mr. Watson. I tell the truth when
I speak, | do not lie,” Mrs. Graves
flashed at Dave Watson during his
cross examination of her, after she
bad testified that a voice which she
recognized as Knight called her moth
er'a home on the eve of the killing
and asked for her brother. Watson
had sought to impeach her on testi
mony given at the trial of W. R.
“Red* Hamilton, also indicted for th
killing of Coojier.
Her answer brought an appeal from
Watson that the witness be warned
against giving controversial replies
and one from District Attorney C. M.
('bombers that she be protected from
“any insinuating interrogations*' from
defense counsel.
BILLINGS TESTIFIES.
Overruling a motion that Billings,
who was given a life sentence in an
other trial, but granted a new trial,
be excused from testifying on the
ground that, it might prejudice his
case. Judge O. M. Fitzhugh ordered
him to take the stand.
He (Billings). Ed Knight, “Red"
Hamilton. Tom Coojter and a soldier
were in the cold drink stand on the
night of the killing. Billinks testified
Someone suggested a drink, he said,
and Hamilton went out for it. While
Hamilton was gone, he said, be and
Cooper started playing pitch. Then
Hamilton returned.
“’You didn't play that right,"' Bilf
ings said Hamilton remaikcd to Coop
er on a play.
SEES KNIGHT SHOOT.
“'I did."' witness testified Cooper
replied, whereupon Hamilton passed
the lie.
Knight quieted the two, Billings
said.
Later. Billings said, he saw Ed
Knight pull bis pistol and fire at th<
ceiling.
“Then I ran." Billings said, “anu
