Dr. Cooelend
Expelling Barry
IF firing Dave Barry will result in giving the senate a clean
bill of health, perhaps the sacrifice will be worth while.
But the punishment seems extreme for what was chiefly an
unfortunate wording in an article. Senators themselves have
been critical of the integrity of their own colleagues. Senator
R. M. LaFollette set the style a quarter century ago when he
traversed Chatauqua circuits assailing fellow-senators and
charging them with being tools of corrupt interests. The
progressive senators who have been most severe in their in
sinuations and charges were the ones who resented any slurs
cast on the body by an employe.
Senator Glenn in his defense of the aged sergeant-at-arms,
said:
I cannot distinguish very materially between attacking; a
body of this kind, as has been done in the present instance, and
the privilege which is exercised nearly every day la committee
rooms of the senate, of browbeating a witness, accusing him, at-,
tacking him as he sits there called in response to a summons,
abasing, condemning, blackening people's names and reputations,
knowing that the next morning upon the front pages of the re
sponsible newspapers of this country those charges, nnsustained,
will be broadcast to the world."
Barry should have been disciplined. As an ex-newspaper
man he should have had more skill in phrasing his thoughts
than he showed ; but for a body which has been ruthless'in
defamation of characters of other people who were quite
defenseless themselves, the senate administered punishment
which went beyond the magnitude of Barry's offense.
Utility Merchandising
NATURALLY the newspapers do not relish the idea of
prohibiting utility companies from handling appliances
because the papers would lose a considerable volume of ad
vertising. With the methods of handling the accounts the
newspapers are not immediately concerned; and of course
would take no part in contentions between groups of competi
tors. But the papers are having their struggles the same as
all other lines of business. Gas and electric companies have
been substantial advertisers of their services and commodi
ties; and the advertising has been handled in an entirely leg
itimate manner. The papers need that business and do not
want to see it legislated away from them.
General observation points to the truth of the assertion
that independent dealers profit by the promotional advertis
ing of the utility companies. In Kansas where a law similar
to senate bill 122 was passed, now the state press association
is fighting actively for its repeal; because they have been
deprived of a large volume of business. From the standpoint
of public policy it does not seem just to put the utilities out
of the business of selling appliances which they need to sus
tain and to increase the demand for their services.
Bargain rates In license plates Is the order of the day at the
state house, if proposed legislation is finally put Into law there will
be a 2.50 late for licenses to July 1st That is bringing up-to-date
merchandising in public affairs. And why not on April 1st have a
Dollar Day? There are various devices that might be used to pep up
plate sales. For Instance Hal Hoss might offer a puncture repair with
Tery pair of plates sold at a month-end sale. Or for full-rate sales
good fog-light might be thrown in. A little service might lead to
repeat business. Carl Qabrielson might put on a long linen coat and
wipe off windshields for cash customers. The railroads have gotten
off their high horse and are Jaizlng up their promotion of passenger
business. Perhaps the state can follow suit with lta stock of license
pittvw. ib ones mey nave leit will not be worth much when the
inventory is taxen June ()th.

Sufferers from this affliction should

Editor Statesman: in late
numbers some contributions re

of these seem to find contra dic
tions in the geneologise. As X

a careful study, these objections
have disappeared long ago, and
though supposed geneologles are
harmonised.
A tew years ago a non-Christian
writer stated that the New Testa
ment does not state that Jesus
was the son of David. I wonder It
he ever really read that testa
ment, or forgot what he read.
Perhaps 20 times the statement
is made that Jesus was the Son
