Chief Justice Shepard's Plans.

The approaching retirement of Chief
Justice Shepard will become effective
when he has completed his work on
cases which have come before him.
possibly the end of this month. There
is wide interest in the approaching va
cancy and the possibility of a vacancy
on the Supreme Court and much specu-
lation among lawyers and officials of
the Department of Justice as to what
President Wilson will do.
1t was recalled today that just before
Justice Hitz was appointed to the Su-
preme Court the name of Assistant At

as that of possible appointee to the po-

If We Are To Spread
the Spirit, Why Begin
To Crush 1t At Home!

Sixteen women, among them woman
Of our own city, were thrown into jail IN
the national capital the other day for
warning their government against falIing
into the ways of darkest Russia.
They paraded the streets Of Washing
ton. CARRYING banners, calling attention
to their cause.-The right to vote.
They paraded knowing they would be
thrown into Jail for it, on some charge
which developed to be that of obstructlng
traffic.
There is something the matter with the
Americanism of the man who does not
admire the spirit and the pluck of these
women.
His understanding of the meaning OF
his flag is defective if he will venture the
opinion that they were not within their
constitutional rights.
And there is no disposition at all on
his part to be fair if he refuses to admit
that the throwing of these women mo
Jail was done in an effort to BREAK
THEIR SPIRIT.
Our government is found on dangerous
ground here.
1t has contracted for job that calls
upon all the spirit we have. INTACT.
1t needs all the American spirit OF men
and all the American spirit of women
to wage this fight for democracy sue
cessfully.
1t is dangerous to trifle with it to the
extent of trying to break it anywhere. 1t
is the thing that must be counted on to
WIN THE WAR.
That which we hope to scatter to the
very corners of the world, is the spirit of
democracy, guaranteeing freedom and
the representation of independence.
It is most certainly the time for be-
ginning it, on behalf of these women,
rather than for crushing it, at home.

The Food Gamblers Are
Gambling Just As If We
Had No Congress AtrAll

That the food spectators have in cold
storage over 80 million pounds OF poul-
try. 80 millions of cured and 30 OF
frozen meats, and eggs almost without
number. doesn't tell the whole story. by
long shot, Notwithstanding the enor-
NOUS increase of such storage over last
years.
All of this stored stuff has been bought
by the spectators al heavy advances
on last years prices.
' Mr. Consumer, recall last years prices.
Sky high, weren't they?
Well the food spectators are betting
that YOU will pay higher this year.
We have a war ON cur hands, this year,

rather than board them along for their
eggs, and hence decent eggs enter cold
storage today to emerge as S0-cent eggs
in December.
Upon these things the food spectators
have gambled as never before, and they
win your money.
That is TO say, they win your money

Dishonesty might not be so bad if il
did not breed We wouldn't object to it
so much if it were not for It's family.
But when it is present in the mind it is
as prolific as house fly, and its progeny
as pestiferous. Let us make the ac-
quaintance of few of them.
Its eldest and frst-born son is Fear.
When you have stolen dollar from your
employers till, or told your mother you
were at school when you were playing
hockey or cheated at cards. or said you
had been to Rome when you never have
been east of Nantucket. the trouble is
that you Immediately are possessed by
the fear that you will be found out
Truth fits the scheme of things en-
tire. For lie you have TO imagine a
new order. This requires creative
genius, besides constant watchfulness
lest you forget
A dishonest person is like one with
thorn in his foot His contentment IS
spoiled. His quiet Of mind is destroyed.
He becomes irritable. His nerves suffer.
Fear, to greater or less degree, be-
comes his inseparable companion. And
fear is a bore and a nuisance.
Another of Dishonesty's offspring is
Self Contempt. There are some people
whom il is a comfort to detest, but your
self is not among them.
You can keep away from other dis
agreeable folks, but yourself you cannot
escape. You are always with you And
what condition can be more wretched
than TO have 10 nurse unremittingly
little secret sore of chagrin. TO know that
whatever others may think of you, you
think of yourself as contemplate!
Honesty is to be recommended as the
virtue nearest contentment.
And again, whatever unpleasantness
may be incident to being honest, it all
comes at first and at once. and you are
done with it. It's like paying cash; it
may not be easy to do, but when done it's
done and there's no worry ahead. Dis
honesty is a charge account by it we
weekly cumulate trouble for the future,
and the longer the day of wrath is de-
ferred the worse it is. SO if you've done
wrong, out with it and let's have it over,
so We can kiss and make up
Another of the litter of Dishonesty is
Shame.
There is also Humiliation.
And Suspicion.
And Loss of Credit.
And those and many other ugly in
sects of torment increase and multiply
as Dishonesty goes forward. The mesh
grows more complicated Strand after
strand Of the sticky web Of embarrass-
ment is spun around us, our struggles
grow weaker until the old spider, Dis
grace gobbles us.
Dishonesty is often very clever but
it is human shrewdness, and the puzzle
of consequences is too intricate for NOR
tai minds. But honesty is Gods wis
dom, by it we follow the logic of the
cosmos, the stars in their courses fight
for US.
BY and by We realize the strangely
cumulative tragedy of Dishonesty; as
the old couplet expresses il,
"Oh, what tangled web We weave
when first practise 20 deceive"

Our Police Must Fight
the Sicilian Fire on the
East Side With Fire

Emmanuel Rogers, the detective who
was better qualified than any officer on
the force to work on the numerous kill
ings that have occurred in the Sicillan
quarter this year, has fallen victim OF
the gang which he sought to extermin-
ate.
Tom Balone, an officer who should
have been a great help to Rogers, be-
cause of his knowledge of the Italians
and their ways, is in Jail, and high otfi-
GERS intimate that he might have been
connected with the plot against Rog-
gers.
There isn't an Italian detective left in
the local bureau.
Rogers and his companions worked
hard, but casting aside sentiment and
respect for this faithful officer, on look
ing at the record one must say that no
great progress was made in rounding up
the gunner. There might have been as
many as two prosecutions, but that is
the maximum.
Even Rogers could not rid Detroit
Of the Sicilian bandits. They showed
their murderous impunity by killing him
rs they had killed lowly countrymen.
Now the question is: Who is going to
do what everyone in Detroit knows must
be done? Who is going to wipe out this
gang?
The Sicilians were secretive and sus-
picious even in the presence of Rogers.
They will be more canny when they
match wits against the officers who are
not Italian.
The department says it has more tan
gible evidence in the Rogers case than
in any other similar one they have dealt
with. Similar statements have been
made in other Sicilian cases.
If results aren't produced quickly,
Commissioner Couzens. who insists on
results, might try TO equip Detroit's po-
lice department with few good Italian
officers and show favors to no one.
If these officers came from other
cities and were unknown here and RE-
NAMED unknown to the Sicilians and
other officers as well, until they had ac-
complished the job of making the ltal-
ian quarter a safe part of the city in
stead of a neighborhood of lawlessness,
the trial might produce the results
which Couzens seeks.
Certainly, it could not be more dis
couraging than the record of the last
- uonths.
