A FRAME-UP PURE AND SIMPLE.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler has
been "wholly exonerated”by the Sen
ate report. There are two significant
facts In that report that In the
Campbell case *’he observed at all
llmea not only the spirit but the let
ter of the law.”
The first fact deserving attention
Is that the report Is signed by four
out of five rnembere of the commit
tee. Senator Sterling was the only
dissenting member of the committee.
The report carries the signatures of
two democrats: It Is signed by Sena
tor Borah, an Independent republican,
who took no part In Wheeler’s row
with Daugherty: and It la algned by
McNary, a old Guard republican of
Oregon. Partisan spirit was run
ning high, but there was no earthly
chance to bring In any other aort of a
verdict.
The second fact deserving attention
la that the Borah committee le care
ful to accentuate tfiat the sole ques
tion It was authorized to Investigate
was Wheeler’* own responsibility be
fore the law. Nevertheless, this re
port goes furthet than an exonera
tion. It Is an Indictment of those who
conspired to "get” Wheeler In order
to whitewash Daugherty,
Wheeler was a stumbling block In
the scheme. He absolutely refused
to be intimidated. In the Ingenlua
Mot to discredit him there were three
servile tools; Coan, an employee of
the Republican National Committed.
William J. Burns, who sent governs
ment spies to carry out the program,
and District Attorney ttlattery, of
Montana, who permitted his office to
be used for the purpose of furthering
the Interests of ths conspirators. This
has been a political affair from the
start anc) la the most sensational
frame-up of a government official In
the history of this country. It Is prob
able that Senator Wheeler, having
been triumphantly vindicated In Ilie
first bout with the conspirators, will
now qfoeped to fight ths case to a
finish In Montana, In ths event that
Attorney General Stone does not sea
fit to dismiss the proceedings on his
own Initiative.

Makers of auto tire* have aeven

The manufacturers blame the

young scientist, la experimenting with
a mysterious and Jerriflc power which
ia likely to change entirely tho nature
of tho next war.
Th'a power ia like lightning, arti
ficially made, and directed no that
armies and materials can be destroy
ed at the will of one man.
None ia permitted to see the in
ventor. One of his assistants describ
ed the ray to me In this waj:
"It la a aort of path through which
we transmit power. It l« moat easily
compared to lightning. When fighting
has no clear path, It zigzags about
until it strikes a tree, bouse or some
other conductor which gives It a path
to the earth. Tho power we have dis
covered a form of electricity—uses
the ray as a path just us lightning
usca thee tree.
Hitherto Almoat Unknown.
"It hasn't been tested out on a large
scale yet, hut I can say that In a dis
tance of 64 feet we have used It. We
have killed ink e Instantly, shriveled
up live plants, exploded gunpowder
and cartridges, set fire to various In
flammable things, Ighted electric
lamps and put out of action the mag
netos of airplane and motor cars.
"If our experiments on a large
aca’e hear obt what we have done In
a small way, then our formulae show
that for $15,000,000 we could build a
plant that would maintain a barrage for
60 mile* around London and the five
miles up In the air. As the ray is in
visible, a hostile airplane w*rew cpu&T
not dodge It and would not Rhmv when
we were turning It In its direction.
Zeppelins wouldn't live more than a
few seconds." ,
Until the other day the name of
Grindeil-Matthews was unknown to
the British people, it has Just been
revealed that the British government
for one discovery during the war paid
him $125,000 within 24 hours after he
told tho Authorities about it.

be steered from shore by such means.
Grlndeli-Matthews announced he
could do so. So one cold winter
morning some of the most dis
tinguished men of England, headed
by Admiral Lord Fisher and Lord
Balfour, w , ent out to Richmond
Park.
Grlndeli-Matthews launched on the
pond his motorboat, "Dawn," which
had on board an octagonal cylinder
composed of e'ght graphite selenium
tablets, each measuring three Inches
by a half Inch, made for him by the
famous se'entist, Dr, Fournier D'Albe.
The searchlight on shore was of the
ordinary type used on torpedo boats
and had a 24-Inch Parsons mirror.
Balfour stood by Grlndeli-Matthews
and told the latter what evolutions he
wanted the boat to perform. It fol
lowed his instructions like a live thing.
Next day Grlndeli-Matthews got his

—HAMILTON COLEMAN.
CHICAGO. —Modern business has
gone to the drama for help In sales
manship.
And the drama has responded,
through the Chicago producer, Ham
ilton Coleman, with the idea of
specMy written, professionally act
ed play* to carry a business mes
sage to salesmen’s conventions.
Such a play is intended to inspire
Its spectators to go out and get
orders in the same vivid fashion an
ancient morality play led men to
avoid satan’s wiles.
Trial shows the idea works. For
example, there is the play Coleman
produced for a stove company in De
troit. The scene, merely by chance,
was laid In Oskaloosa, lowa.
The salesman who covered the
Oskaloosa territory was impressed
with the methods exemplified. He
had been selling the town about a
dozen stoves a year, but he went
back and tore into the merchants
with his new enthusiasm. His order
was for a carload—lso stoves.
"They are real plays with a hu
man interest plot and all the setting
of first class theatre production,"
says Coleman.
"The problem is to make the pro
duction primarily a dramatic enter
tainment, with the business sermon
insinuated indirectly* And to busi
ness parts must be made to ring
absolutely true, In both lines and
acting. Wo are playing before an
audience of expert salesmen, to show

them better salesmanship than they
ever used.
* "It is logical to put the drama to
this use. It is used for every other
sort of propaganda.
"Ibsen and Shakespeare used their
plays for a social message. ‘lt Pays
to Advertise’ undoubtedly helped
the advertising busines, and ‘The
Old Soak* was effective anti-prohibi
tion argument. Why not business,
too?"
The first business play Coleman
produced was witnesesd by only 40
men, the branch managers of the
employing company. They were so
impresed it was decided to repeat
the performance for the 300 agents
and field men.

Blames Taxes, Not Landlords
For High Rents
(From Collier’s)
The Housing Bureau report to the
governor of New York shows that
there is a "progressive aggravation"
of conditions since, 1920. FPents have
Increased from 40 to 90 per cent.
What is true of New York is in only
less degree true of other great cities.
But it is not fair to lay the whole or
even the greater part of the blame up
on the landlords.
Their charge is "based upon the
law of supply and demand.” The
"supply" part of this ancient econom
ic formula consists of high taxes, high
labor and material costs and a rela
tively low return on money invested.
The "demand" part consists of the j
grim desire which even the most
care-free evince for sleeping under I
some sort of roof.
What our American lawmakers need
is some modern John Stuart Mill to
restate in simple language that a legis
lator can understand some of the el
ementary principles of what is called
the "incident of taxation" —where the
tax finally hits, in short.
Once we grasp the fact that the
ultimate consumer invariably pays the
