POLICE AND POLITICS Mere denial on the part of police officials will not suffice to take from the mind of the public the idea that Prosecutor Remy knew what he was talking about when he said that it was possible for criminals, violators of the law, to secure the shifting of a policeman who insisted on making arrests. The sad part of the thing is that most of us are not shocked by such a charge, so grave in its nature that in different days and different times it would : lead to immediate action and investigation. But so low is the general opinion of our city politics that we expect the men elected to office to ' protect the bootleggers and gamblers who vote for . them. We take it for granted that the politicians will use the police forte just as they use other departments of city government. True we try to hope that they will occasionally punish some of the major criminals and pray that the political control will not be so strong or unwise as to make it possible to commit murder in the daylight on public streets and get away with it. About the most that most of us expect is that there be enough efficient officers to protect life and property to*a reasonable degree. But the charge made by Mr. Remy hits at the very foundation of government. It is, essentially, a charge of treason. For if the officers of the law are made the puppets of lawbreakers, if they are forced to protect and not detect violations, if the law is traded for power or pelf, then we no longer have even the semblance of self government. ' Has any politician been able to save a law violator from arrest? Has any officer who persisted in making arrests for bootlegging been sent to a different part of the city? 1 Are there any secret tips to violators of the law that they may expect to be raided? Just how much bootlegging is being done at present and do the police know where it is being _ done ? Do the police know where other laws that can be violated with profit -are being openly mocked and flaunted? The charge by Remy should be followed by an investigation by a special grand jury. It should convince citizens who want decent government that the „time has come to change and get a city manager. Cleveland and Cincinnati have no such scandals. BRITAIN'S CHANCE TO HOLLER They are going to hold the 1927 joint Army, Navy and air maneuvers in the Narragansett Bay— New England area. The maneuvers will be to test the northeastern frontier sector with practically the .entire fleet attacking. i Likewise, it is said, the largest number of troops , ever assembled for war games in this country will take part. Also the greatest number of airplanes, aircraft carriers and whatnot. Now it’s Qreat Britain's turn to holler. Last year Japan became indignant, alarmed and almost abusive when similar maneuvers were held off flie Pacific coast and in and around Hawaii —and Japan 3,500 to 6,000 miles away. Next year’s tests will not only he at Canada’s very door, but what country, except Britain, would stand a chance attacking us by land or sea from that quarter? But Britain won’t say a word. Neither will Canada. They know full well that the maneuvers are merely a part of the game of modern armaments and that as long as there are such things as armies and navies and air forces these will have to be trained. ' Japan knew this, too, of course. But it served her purposes to make a fuss over it It stimulated the war spirit in Japan- It bucked up Japanese nationalism. It made compulsory military serviice easier to sell to the people. It made taxes for new warships and new aircraft and for the maintenance of a huge military establishment easier to bear. And it focused public attention on foreign “perils” rather than on increasing hard times at home.” It’s a moss-covered trick of western powers which Japan is just learning to play. We trust and even wager, however, it is one that Britain has forgot. A DOG’S LIFE Prince was a beagle hound with no' very great family tree. His home was in a middle western city of somewhat imposing dimensions, a little > crowded, perhaps, for a curious fellow like Prince to go poking around in. Prince was two weeks old he fell into a pit near a factory and was nearly drowned. Two weeks later he was run over by a bicycle and carried a lame leg after that. Then he was hit by an automobile. Next came distemper, then a battle with pneumonia. Prince x?as just wabbling about again, after be- : ing discharged from a dog hospital, when a bulldog stepped up and bit one of his ears. His young master took him to the country for a day in the open and the first thing Prince did was to run a stick into one of his eyes. , Finally disaster met him. An automobile, driven swiftly through a city street, skidded, ran over the curb and—there stood Prince. He died like a gentleman, without a whimper. The city finally got him. Or was it Life? WHY .HE RAN Evidently Senator Watson knew something when he ran away from the Senate chamber in order not to vote for a resolution to ihvestigate frauds and corruption in the Pennsylvania primaries. The Senator still insists that the people o# this State agree that corrupt or lavish use of money, such as the Senate condemned when ejected Newberry of Michigan, is all right. He shouts that Indiana differs from tie Senate viewpoint that too much money in elections is a vicious practice. He might even suggest that the Indiana view is that there should be more and not less of it to reward the voters who need persuasion of a financial character. When Watson ran, he dodged all blame for bringing tp light a very unusual situation, the use ' ' V

of so much money in the primaries that the sums spent by Newberry were mere dabsUp to date the committee headed by Senator Reed of Missouri lias discovered that Senator Pepper’s friends, chief of whom is Secretary Mellon, spent $1,046,000 and the probe is not over. It has found that Governor Pinchot spent $195,000 and Vare, who won, $142,000. The probe Jtas only just started. It is probable that the figures will grow and that the committee will discover where more money was used. Certainly it is illuminating to discover that Pepper, the dry candidate, spent over a million dollars to hold his job and then failed. Perhaps Watson knew what was coming, when he ran, for he, too, was indorsed by the drys. Or perhaps Jim just naturally hates to have any corruption exposed. SEVEN YEARS AFTER Sergt. Alvin C. York, who traipsed into camp one day with 132 well-filled German helmets following him, won America’s acclaim seven years ago as the World War’s greatest individual hero. He was stormed with theatrical and movie contracts. He rejected them. He had an idea. The other day his idea began to take real shape, when the sergeant broke ground at Jamestown, Tenn., for the Alvin C. York Industrial Institute. It is to be a SIOO,OOO school, with dormitories for boys and girls. York is more than a great hero of the war: He has placed himself second to the hill people in the Blue Mountains of the Cumberland plateau- It is his hope that these people, many of whom are still untouched by the finger of modern civilization, be given a chance to learn the practical, better things of l*feBringing in 132 German prisoners helps to win a Avar, but the courage of peace is not less great. POLITICAL BEDFELLOWS Senator Watson of Indiana has fought the President all session. Each has a certain opinion of each other. But yesterday Indiana committeemen came doAvn to Washington and lured the President out on the lawn for a photograph. There he was snapped standing between Senators Watson and Robinson. This picture will be shown around Indiana to convince the good voters that Calvin highly approves of Jim despite the above mentioned certain opinion each has of the other- ' Such are the amenities of politics. BLOOD'S STRONGER THAN WATER A bottle of good black ink is flung by a doughty congressional hand smack into the countenance of a lawyer. A glass of water —pure, clean, old-fashioned H2O, follows the blacker ink. Representative John E. Rankin, from Tupelo, Miss., a country where men are men and brook no insults, hurled the blacker fluid. Frank J- Hogan, counsel for Commissioner Fredereik A. Fenning, retaliated with the water onslaught. This stirring action ■was staged across a table within the Capitol itself, and Capitol police stormed the combatants. , . The country will split on the ink and water war. Some will affirm that a gentleman never slings ink but mud. Others will discredit the'watery, insipid H2O as medium of war, and say that vitriol is the only decent weapon in the hands of a gentleman. Yet others will clap their hands to know that Congressmen can really get mad and throw things. They will say it augurs well for ole Americy. You have to keep your nose to the grindstone if you want to turn it up at the bill collectors. No matter how much you cuss about the temperature, you Just simply can’t scare a thermometer. You never see a bootlegger having a rummage sale on old stuff. A refrigerator is where you put dishes containing a little food when you don’t want to wash them. The world changes. Airiving at a conclusloni Is about like writing the time on a piece of paper.

“ALSO WINE, CURRENT AND GOOSEBERRY CLARET” ■"■—By Mrs? Walter Ferguson————

Every now and then there comes a break In the cloud of rules that surrounds us and the sun of hope peeps through. The nutrition expert of the University of California says now that it is all right for us to eat three meals a day, and that the rational use of meat never hurt anybody. He insists that we are not eating ourselves to death, but, instead, the majority of us, especially the working classes, are undernourished. • Doesn't this sound good after all these diet warnings? Don't you get tired of being advised to live the remainder of your days on grapefruit and pineapple? Hark to this brave tale of long ago. Sir Alexander Dick of Scotland 'is entertaining at a birthday party at which Mr. James Boswell is present. This is an account of the dinner: “We had a line plec? of boiled beef with greens, a large turkey, some fine chickens, 250 asparagus from my hot bed, a fine pig, all from my farm. Also wine, currant and gooseberry claret and punch and a fine Parmesan cheese.” And this hearty old soul lived to the ripe age of 82. We Americans get paroxysms of enthusiasms. We run a fad to death. Right now dieting happens to be our hobby and many a good woman is hastening her death by the starving process. Hundreds of young girls who need above all else solid foods for the normal development of their bodies, will not eat because they are haunted by the bugbear of stoutness. They are ruining their health and destroying their chances to have strong and healthy children because of this foolish fad. The tuberculosis rate is increasing alarmingly in many cities, and doctors attribute this fact to the diet complex we women have acquired. And all the starving the women past forty does will never make her look like her daughter of sixteen. If she acquires the coveted willowy figure, she will have a face as wrinkled as a parchment. Jf We women would do a little more physical work and ride less in automobiles and think not so much of our looks, we would be happier and me e worthwhile citizens.

Tracy It Takes a Lot of Money to ‘Reach’ the Pennsylvania Voters,

By M. E. Tracy The first day of probing into the PennsylvaViia R 'l'blican primary left the impression that it cost about $300,000, the second lay raised that amount to SOOO,OOO and the third day revealed it as more ..han $1,000,000. It takes a lot of money of course to reach voters of such a large State as Pennsylvania with post cards, circulars. newspaper advertising and till boards. It takes a lot, also to maintain headquarters and hire watchers. No matter how much more of this may be necessary or whether it does any good, we hav'e built up a system that seems to call for it. Partially, at least, the Government and the law are to blame. Registration, for instance, Is compulsory, but no State has an adequate force to see that is honest, and about the only way to guard against illegal registration is through hired observers of opposing factions. The primary is also comptMsory, but here again the State fails to provide methods for keeping it clean, and here again the candidates are compelled to look after their own interests; The necessity for hired workers and Avatchers leaves the way open for hiring thousands of people to do nothing except vote. If the State is going to insist on primaries, it should handle them just as it does elections and if it is going to compel registration, it should provide means to keep it straight. + -t + Politics! Having slapped President Coolidge in the face with an anti-World Court plank to please the Ku-Klux and with a pro-Haugen bill plank to please the farmers, the Indiana Republican convention sends a committee to Washington for the purpose of inviting him to come out and please the regular Administration vote. •I- + -I* lowa Repeats The Republican State committee of lowa meets today to see Avhether it will indorse or repudiate Smith W. Brookhart, whom the A'oters recently nominated as Republican candidate for United States Senator by a majority of 71,000. Tavo years ago it met for precisely the same purpose and decided to repudiate him, which led to the election of a Democrat. It can repeat, of course. -I ' I -I Justice The law can be quick if it wants to. and once in a blue moon It Is. It was only a few weeks ago that the Whittemore gang was rounded up and four of its members have been practically disposed of. Whittemore himself was sentenced to death day before yesterday. two ICraemers were sentenced to forty years in prison yesterday and “Shuffles” Goldberg, who pleaded guilty, will be sentenced next week. If young America would know what it costs to go Avrong and the swiftness with Avhich payment can be demanded, this drama in crime is Avorth contemplating. -I- I- -ILabor’s Setback Russian gold to help the British miners and London sending a stern note to Moscow— You can sympathize with working people who strike to better their condition, especially if the condition is inhumane and unjust, and you can sympathize with them, even though they resort to very extreme measures, but it is a very different matter for one government to finance discord in another. Most of us had suspected that there was more class consciousness back of this upheaA r al than appeared on the surface and were ready to admit that Britain's social structure left room for it. Most of us realized that some of the British labor groups were inclined to be radical. But we took it for granted that leaders Avere telling the truth when they denied any connection Avith soviet Russia, particularly since they waived a rejected check to prove It. No doubt the majority of them were telling the truth, or thought they were, and that makes it all the more painful to find at least one “thanking God” for the receipt of $2,000,000 in communist cash. Small wonder that such men as Ramsey MacDonald, Arthur Henderson and Thomas are worried. The cause of British labor —a perfectly just cause to begin with —has been set back for many years. -!* -I- -IDon't Fight, Gentlemen! Poor Young Stribling. I feel sorry for him and for a lot of others, who wanted him to win, because of an .age-old conceit that a gentleman can be a prize fighter. It is my own idea that the combination seldom works, that to become a champion, it Is necessary to lay aside the frills of polite society and play the cave man. and that the chap who can’t do It had better stay out of the ring.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Dr. Gilroy Urges All to Read the Story of Joseph

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for .lime 13. Triumphing Over Trials; Joseph's Fidelity. Genesis 39:1-6, 19-23. By Wnt. E. Gilroy, D. D., Editor of The Congregaflonalis*. Many years ago I heard an abje public reader recite without comment the whole story of Joseph as recorded in the Authorized King James version. My recollection is that it occupied about ten chapters ot Genesis, and it was one of the most moving experiences that I ever had. I had read the story many times, mostly a chapter at a time, and I never realized until then just how wonderful a story it was from every point of view. The ancient writer who wrote it has availed himself of every literary device to make the high lights of his story and the emphasis of its deepest teachings conspicuous. It is a story of effective contrasts and logical development. I recommend to every one who would gain the full benefit of the story the need of sitting down and leading the entire story at one sitting. Only in this way can the full

value of any particular incident in the life of Joseph be realized in relation to the whole. Seen in this complete form, the story of Joseph is a remarkable tale of strength, courage and constancy. Joseph appears at first, it is true, as a dreamer, the favored child of his father, a sort of family pet who offends his brothers by a too-ready acceptance of this favoritism and by an attitude of superiority. • Probably ntuoh of this was the thoughtless attitude of a young boy. The real strength of Joseph and the stability of character come out tinder adversity. If he had been merely a petted child or a milksop, the experiences that came upon him would Very quickly have broken him down. But we have the picture of i a young man of courage who, in the midst of the darkest environment, trusted In God. The trials that came upon Joseph need not here be summarized. There came to him through the conquest of these trials the place of preferment and power, and then In the . midst of his seeming success came one of the most violent and'characteristic temptations that could shake i
