by Arthur Brisbane Intellectual America Valuable Lives Mexican News, Good, Bad All About Strange Man

Intellectual Americans paid JMOO.OOO to see Mr. Tom Loughran Mr. Jask Sharkey, a Lithua- ’ nian who borrows his fighting name. The gentlemen, who are “heavy weights” in more senses than one, fought three rounds. Sharkey won, Mr. Loughran “technically knocked out.” The same crowd will pay $300,more later to see them fight 3 more rounds, with Mr. Laughran winning. After that will come the deciding match. Sad, dull days for those who crave brutality. Os all the big business, life insurance is biggest. Frederick H. Ecker, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, predicts an increase in life insurance from one hundred to two hunderd billions by 1940, while discussing problems . involved in the investment of fourteen thousand million dollars, held in trust for policy holders. Two hundred million dollars insurance on the people of the United States seems gigantic. But it averages less than $2,000 per inhabitant. It’s a poor American that isn't worth more than that. Two pieces of Mexican news —one good, one bad —for Mexico’s people. With excellent intention, Mexico plans'to let the Mexican labor raise itself by its own boot straps. That is the bad news. Employers hiring more than twenty workers must make collective contracts with all. An-employer for any reason letting men go, even closing down for lack of business, must continue paying wages for three months. Such laws, if established would drive capitol and prosperity out of Mexico. It would expel the only automobile factory in Mexico, which belongs to Henry Ford. Mexico’s good news tells that the number of her schools has doubled within a year. The government plans public school education for every child on the American plan. Man is a strange animal. David Bernstein, Brooklyn tailor, deliberately killed a man against whom he held no grudge, pushing him oft* an elevated railroad platform in Brooklyn. No one saw him. He confessed to the police. Insane probably. The lawmaking machinery of New York decided to kill Frank Piaia in the electric chair. Acute appendicitis threatened the electric chair program. A good surgeon, hired at public expense, restored Piaia to the death house. “Out of kindness” he is allowed to play cards with his partner in crime, Michiel Sciafoni, a wall separating them. Strange uses of science killing men by electricity, saving their lives by surgery that the electricity may kill them, treating them kindly while waiting for the chair. A cat does no worse with its mouse. Earth’s 1,800,000,000 people are not QUITE CIVILIZED YET. Further details concerning the massacre of 3,000 Mohammedans by Chinese in Kansu province show that the human race has still some distance to travel. Os late Mohammedans had been murdering Chinese. Then came famine, most desperate, among the Mohammedans, who were invited by Chinese officials to come to Taochow for a conference, with promises of roasted ■=> barley. Whenthey came, men from fifteen to fifty were separated from the women, taken outside the walls and "3,000 of them butchered like sheep.” When they saw that they were to be killed, the Mohammedans asked no mercy. After the famine the Mohammedans will doubtless murder ten or twenty Chineses for each Mohammedan killed in the massacre. So it goes among the human beings, most cruel and bloodthirsty of all animate. Senator Borah says that Presi(CWtiaued to Last Page)
