Mop Them Up!
IT IS announced from Klemington tliat the state will now
bring charges of perjury against some of Bruno Haupt
mann's witnesses.
Vte hope the report is true. And we also hope if evidenie
shows the defense attorneys conspired in this commission of
perjury, they be promptly disbarred.
Outside of swift and certain punishment for the guilty,
nothing woulij do more to check the crime wave in this country,
than serving notice on the underworld that falsifying on the
witness stand is no longer a safe racket but a highly dangerous
one.
Put a few perjurers in prison where they belong, and it will
not be so easy for crooked criminal lawyers, to buy witnesses
in the open market place, to swear to anything that will bolster
up their client's case.
A few perjury trials, vigorously prosecuted, and the oath
will begin to mean something, instead of nothing, in our
American jurisprudence.

Now if the latter will refuse to rest on their laurels until the
perjurers in this case, are put behind the bars, they will earn

The Lost
T 0 HUM! If any proof were needed to show the low estate
to which the League of Nations has fallen, this Italian
Ethiopian incident would supply it.
The League was designed to prevent war. It was particularly
designed to prevent wars of aggression, and to protect weak
nations from the strong.
Tet without the slightest word of protest from the League,
Dictator Mussolini, dispatches troops and ' warships to the
north African coast, and proudly authorizes an expenditure, of
millions, to bring this dusky little kingdom to its knees.
The time-honored camouflage is employed, of course.
Ethiopia is branded the aggressor, attacks on the border and
the slaying of loyal Italian troops, arc given as the caucus belli,
and deaf cars are turned to Emperor Haile Selassies' claim,
that all aggression eomes from the other side.s

war. For years he has had his eye on northern Africa, but
until very recently France barred the way.
A few weeks ago however, in return for Italy's promise of
cooperation in caso of trouble with Germany or Austria, France
decided to give 11 Duce a free hand. In reality, the two nations
are dividing up what is left of northern Africa, while the rest
of the world unprotcstingly looks on.
"No more war, the sacred right, of self determination,
protecting the weaker nations from the strong!"

wrong!

By the time they are read, the big
headline may tell what the Jury that

Meanwhile, nobody knows perhaps
not even the membera of the Jury.

The cost of the handwriting ex

Telegrams, cablegrams and telephone

Trips to Surer by otflr.rs cost s?..

THE biggest single Item ot expend!,

ANOTHER Interesting headline:

The African nation referred to la
Ethiopia, and the demand la for an
Indemnity for the killing of Italian
troops In varloua ruckuses along the
boundary between Ethiopia and Italy's
Italian colonlea.
The Ethloplana assert that the pay

Ye Poet's Cornei
I'll Be Waiting
The days are lonesome and long.
It seems years since you've been
gone.
Each night as the moon comes over
the peak.
In ita silvery light, your face I seek.
And the whole night through, to
'early daw
Each hour, each moment, for you
I yearn.
I miss the smile on your face so fair,
I miss the brightness of your gold
en hair.
I miss the light In your eyes of sap
phlre blue.
I miss the touch of your hand on
mine, too.
I miss the sweetness of your rosebud-
lips.
As I miss your corrections ol my
many slips.
I miss your friendship good and true.
. I miss everything that you used to
do.
And though I strive with all my
might.
I can't forget the word you spoke
tftat night.
Nor how you left me with a broken
heart,
As you sped away your career to
start.
Seems now my mind will brea . la
two.
If another day passes without hear
ing from you.
Yet 1 know my pain la suffered tn
vain.
As for my love you had nothing but
disdain.
Though I cannot believe our Creator
above.
Intended money to be more valu
able than love.
So remember dear as you travel afar,
The door of my heart has been left
ajar.
With a beckoning light on the win
dow sill.
To let you know I love you still.
And when your madness has run Hi
race.
Ill be waiting in the same old
place.
By L. R. Chandler.
