CURRENT COMMENT AT
TIE NATION’S CAPITOL
The latest issue of United
States government bond, amount
ing to a little less than $1,000,000,
000, was over-subscribed. Altho
many of the subscribers were con
cerns which always have plenty
of money for any dead-sure in
vestment, the small-sum subscrib
ers were present in considerable
numbers, and the over-subscrip
tion obviously indicates that many
citizens in average circumstances
have free money laid aside. It is
natural that those in stringent
circumstances should complain
and ask for help. It is unnatural
that those in comfortable circum
stances should publish the fact
and tender help. Unfortunately,
one class cannot be asked to close
its mouth, and the other to open
its purse, with any chance that
the request will be complied with,
but therein may reside a cure for
the existing business depression
The misunderstanding between
the Italian Government and the
prevailing church in the boot
shaped peninsula is about to be
patched up. The subject is so
delicate that it cannot be analyz
ed even in an intendedly neutral
article, without giving offence to
someone. All but the avowed
enemies of religion and civil rule
will agree, however, that the ter
mination of any contest between
them is salutary.

The Department of Justice is
after Washington policemen who
club prisoners until they confess
something. The Wickersham re
port condemned such practices,
and the action of the Department
of Justice indicates that this
pearl of the report was not cast
before swine. In principle, there
is no difference between a club
used on an arrested man to make
him confess, and the torturer’s
rack of the Dark Ages, employed
for a like purpose, and now view
ed with abhorrence.

A chap who got his training
as a rabbit hunter wins the rifle
championship of the United
States, which is reminiscent of
the fact that it was an army of
hunters that cleaned up the Brit
ish at the battle of New Orleans.
A let-down in the law against
owning and carrying fire arms
might be a wise move- As things
now stand the thugs carry guns
anyhow’, and the law-abiding go
unarmed, forgetting each year a
few’ more of the principles of the
effective shooting for which
America was once noted.

ment for deserting her and their
son who is now 21 years of age
Upon hearing that Robison had
been killed in Alaska she said she
married Edward Royce of Pasa
dena, but separated after three
years when she learned that her
first husband was alive when his
mother, Mrs. Andrew Robison, died
and bequeathed him $3,000.
Robison, who at first refused to
recognize Mrs. Royce, said he di
vorced her last January and he
told authorities, who are trying to
straighten out the tangle, that he
has been living with Mrs. Louise
Casebort since he came to Los An- j
geles from Alaska in 1919.
