A Murder a Day in Chicago.

Chicago, July 9.-Crime statistics
for recent months indicate that
{ licago is putting a slight crimp in
the activities of criminals, but those
two great indoor and outdoor sports,
or enterprises, stealing of motor cars
and murder, are showing steady
gains
Human life is about the cheapest
uf all commodities in Chicago and
the residents have become accuston-
ed to the average OF one day, but
motor cars cost money, and the in-
crcasing number of thefts is causing
anxiety.
Records show that 2.I5I cars were
stolen in the last six months. OF
that number 1920 have been recov-
cred The others have been run into
adjoining states, or reprinted, or
wrecked and rcassembled and are i
total loss. In all the recent bank
and and street robberies and raids
by labor sluggers, the raiders in
every instance were riding i'll high
powered cars they had stolen.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
Democratic Vice Presidential Nomi.
nee Strong Campaigner.

Born in Hyde Park, Duchess
County, N. Y, January 80, 1882, the
son of James and Sara (Dclano)
Roosevelt Of Dutch origin, the
family came from Holland in 164S,
and i'll the later generations inter.
married will, Scotch, Flemish and
Irish settlers of what is now is the
City OF New York
Graduated from Harvard in 1904
with the degree OF A. B. after re-
ceiving his preliminary education at
Croton School. He graduated from
Columbia Law School three years
later and was admitted to the New
York State bar.
Up to 1910 Roosevelt practiced law
first with the firm of Garter, Led
yard 4 Milburn and then with Mar
tin, Hooker & Roosevelt, of which he
was member.
In the 1910 state campaign he was
nominated for State Senator in the
district comprising Duchess, Put
man and Columbia counties, which
for twenty-eight years previously had
been represented by Republican.
young Roosevelt, as his Dutch
ess County neighbors knew him,
made vigorous campaign and sur
prised the old-line politicians by
gaining a decisive victory.
In the I0lI-I2 sessions of the Leg
islature Senator Roosevelt gained ap-
pfause as an -Tammany Demo-
crat. He became the leader of band
of about thirty Senators and assem-
blymen who who opposed the nom-
nation of William +. Sheehan to the
Senate OF the United States and wag-
ed successful fight against the Tam
many machine, which finally resulted
in Sheehans defeat.
In 1919 he was one of the leaders
Of progressive movement within the
New York State Democracy. He was
at the head of the Empire State De-
lnocracy, which advocated the nomi-
nation OF Woodow Wilson in lul2
Despite the opposition OF Tam
many leaders Roosevelt was renom-
mated and reelected State Senator III
1912, carrying district which went
Republican for the other candidates.
In March, 1913. he resigned from the
New \ DIRK State Senate to accept all
appointment as Assistant Secretary
Of the Navy, a post which he occup-
led during the war and in which he
still continues.
Roosevelt's appointment to Presi-
dent Wilson'S official family was re-
garded by Wilson supporters as a
fitting recognition of his proven
ability i'll politics and public af
fairs. The Tammany leaders,
who, when he first led the fight on
.,hcehan, referred to him contemptu-
cusly as kid and college boy,
soon found they had a powerful enc
my to reckon with. Roosevelt became
close ally OF the President, and his
influence with regard to patronage
repeatedly proved stumbling block
to the machines program

CROSSLEY RETIRES FROM
GOVERNORS RACE

Jefferson City. July 7.-Lieut
Gov Wallace Crossley Wednesda,
formally announced his withdrawal
from the gubernatorial race.
Governor Crossley statement fol.
lows:
In withdrawing from the contest
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, desire to extend my
sinccrest thanks to those friends III
every section and every county OF
the state who were giving ME or
stood ready to give me their loyal
support. My reason for getting out
OF the race is because | feared
could not win the nomination and
had no money to invest in what
might prove losing venture. Dis
erection is said to be the better part
LOT valor. 1t had been my earnest
hope that the primary fight could be
avoided because it is hurtful, not to
the candidate alone, but to the party,
and l had felt we were facing uncer-
tain results in November.
Now, however, the entire political
outlook is changed. The Republic
cans are i'll doubt and confusion. We
can stand little fight of our own now
and still win easily in November, I'M
less overconfidence betrays us. There
should be no talk among Democrats
about this or that candidate not be-
ing able to win if nominated. Any
one of the men whose names will
appear on the primary ticket can be
elected and | want my friends to
know that am retiring without fav-
or or prejudice, SO far as Democratic
candidates for governor are concern
ed. l was ambitious to- be governor
of Missouri and felt that my party
service and public record warranted
me in asking for that great honor,
but the fortune of politics is against
me, and l submit cheerfully, pledging
my heartiest support as always, to
the entire ticket when named.
Il was never SO proud of being
Democrat as today. The San Fran
cisco convention named the strongest
man available and the platform is a
Straightforward, hard-hitting declara-
ton of great principles. With the
success. of the Gardner administra-
ton here in Missouri, and the VIII
son record of achievement to stand
upon, we can carry Missouri for Cox
and Roosevelt and every man of the
state ticket.

BANKER BLAMEs STRIKES AND
NOT pROF1TEERS FOR IN.
CREASED PRICES
F. H. Sissons, New York Financier,
Puts Labor Loss at $a,ooo.-
100000

New York, July 1o.-.The epidemic
OF strikes since the armistice' has
done more to increase the commod-
ity prices than all the profiteers. &C
cording to Francis H. Sisson, vice
president of Me Guaranty Trust
Company. In placing the blame for
the increase in the cost of living on
industrial troubles. Mr.. Sisson says
it would be absurd to deny that there
has been considerable profiteering in
raw materials and commodities.
I'VE have heard much about rent
profiteers, and | dare say there have
been many of Them" he said in a
recent address to manufacturers.
''But organized labor does not real
ize or closes its eyes to the fact that
every time men employed i'll the
building trades go on strike or sh'rI
at their tasks they penalize society
which includes themselves by increas-
ing the cost OF building, thus increas-
ing rents, and as result make prices
for goods and services higher.
AN incomplete list of direct losses
due to strikes in 1910 places the cost
to labor i'll wages at nearly $725.ooo,-
30 and to industry at more. than 81
25oooo,ooo. Yet we wonder why
prices remain high. The policy of
less work and poorer work with more
wages visits its penalties upon cap
ital and labor alike
