spring. the comparison being made on

because of hail storm, showed that on
the larger farms, with larger capital
more acres in crops. and a larger percen-

an average making more money. This
work was so much appreciated that the
growers voted unanimously TO invite the
County Agent to continue the work
again this year A written report of this
area will soon be available to all inter
ested and each farmer whose record was
taken lastyear will be visited and he will
have a chance to 90 over his business

playing politics, and by supporting
pfnlng reform can easier get by
with their support Of Big Biz.
Somebody once said that you can't
eat your cake and have it. Big Bill
is probably beginning to understand
what that guy meant-for he's MAKE
ing a tough job trying to hold onto
the Drys with one hand while trying
to yank: the Vets into camp with the
other. And he never had a chance Of
getting the Republican Drys with him
for they play their politics with the
Republican newspapers that are out
for Big Bills scalp.
tits dead easy for politicians who
belong to clubs to take the Dry end
Of it politicaIly-for they can get all
the Sunday booze they want at their
clubs. In the meantime, they're get
ting Thompson into a jam between
the Vets and Drys, with a bright
prospect of him losing both.
But, while all this is going on, the
police captains don't know what to
do. They're up against a fierce
game, with the prospect Of being
damned if they do and damned If they
don't And it's dead easy for the adj
ministration to get the heads of the
captains they want to dump and
save their political favorites.
That's how Nick Hunt and Cap
tain Wheeler lost out several years
ago. They got in between the re-
formers and politicians and the gam
blers and politicians. After reporting
the city free from vice, investigators
came in with reports Of lots Of it
and Hunt and Wheeler walked the
plank for not enforcing the law. Yet
Hunt and Wheeler probably thought
they were doing what the political
mgher-ups wanted done.
So, after all, it isn't so much re-
form as it is politics that is making
al this fuss.

ice captains lot is a happy one when
a reform wave is on has another
guess coming. When the politicians
get to playing the game between the
Vets and the Drys, it's smart cap
tain who can keep out of JAM.
Some Of them viii probably walk
the plank now because they don't
know just whose orders to obey
and all because Thompson closed sa-
looms on Sunday and his political
leaders in wet wards want the lid
tilted for political purposes.
For example, a Thompson alder
man in a wet ward viii want the po-
lice captain to shut his eyes and let
some Of the favored saloonkeepers
get by. If he pleases the alderman,
then Chief Healey or Mayor Thomp-
son may bounce hin-under pres
sure from the Drys. And if he obeys
the letter Of the mayors order, he
gets the mayors influential heuten-
ants sore at him. So he makes pow
erful enemies no matter what he
does.
If he rtgidly enforees the law the
Thompson wet lieutenants may get
him removed from the district. And
If he doesn't enforce it the Drys win
report violations and insist on
Thompson or Healey doing some
thing.
The real trouble is that the city
administration, is trying to carry
water on one~shOulder and beer and
booze on the other-and isn't getting
away with it. And on a showdown
the police captain is the goat.
Thompson pleased the Drys and
made the Vets sore when he closed
Sunday saloons. Now some of the |
leading Drys, particularly Davis Of |
the Anti-SaIuOn league and Reform |
er Lyle of the Englewood Law and
Order league, are Just as sore at !
Thompson as most Of the Wets-and |
merely because Thompson doesn't |

sucker.
