alties quickly paid will have a very good
effect, and the only thing that will.
The limit of public patience has been
reached. as witness the several lynch
ings which have taken place lately of
criminals who have committed murder
and rape, and the average American
man is making up his mind that if the
which many of them are, he has no
other recourse than to administer quick
and summary justice himself, as pro-
lection TO his family and loved ones,
his property and himself.
These devlish criminals go in gangs
in the big cities, and the police have
long known of these gangs, their rem
devious and the crime records of their
members. yet their crimes of the most
inhuman and diabolical nature seem to
be on the increase instead of otherwise
What is the only logical solution? 1t
is that the officials are either getting
paid by the criminals for protection or
use them in politics, or both probably
both No other conclusion can be ar
rived at II this be true, which it I'M
questionably is, then the Officially are as
bad as the thugs and murderers aud

In San Francisco it has been proven
that criminals of the worst imaginable
kind have bought protection and free
dom from punishment for themselves
for years, the bail brokers, police de-
partment and police judges sharing up
on the Doodle of the thieves and thugs,
and the same is true in New York, Chi

universal I'VE are not responsible for
hats and coats, and it is quite possible
that the sabled woman will have some
trouble keeping tab on her garment. A
delegation from the Burns Detective
Agency will probably attend her wher-
ever she goes.
BY the way, let's indulge little
speculation. The amount that this
woman has put in one coat to keep her
back warm, would, if properly invested,
provide annually a sufficient income to
purchase at least four hundred coats
at $40 apiece If the $50, 900 coat lasts
ten years, then in the course of those
years the interest on the coat would
have warmed no less than 1000 cold,

aghast at the thought of the sable
clothed woman going cold in the tran
saction Even though the investment
was cut down to $59.000 and she in
dulged 81 900 coat, her benevolence
would still pass the 1000 mark. What

MAYS NOW MAINSTAY
OF NEW YORK YANKEES

NEW YORK. Aux. l3.-Carl Mays
mas had his ups and downs before
ana after going TO the Yankees. but
ne has been worth his trouble With
out Mays. the Yankees today would
not he one az the foremost contend
crs in the league. even though Carl
mas dropped his share OF games
II cant be said that Mays is pop
plar among the men with whom he
earns his bread and butter. The
Yankees are for him because he wins
ball games. but Mays never would
win any popularity contest
Most ball players love To win, and
Mays is ono Of them. Defeats glide
on some pitchers like water on the
back OF a duck. but Carl isn't that
kind. He is n hard player and uses
everything he has every moment he
Is In the box. Poor support frets and
annoys him. because he has his hear:
and soul in every game he pitches
on the field. Mays is a quiet. un-
obstrcDerous chap. who minds his
own business and likes to talk about
hunting and his family.
We have heard ball players call
Mays heartless because he pitched
and won game five days after the
unfortunate Chapman tragedy OF last
spring. Set We always held that
game to Mays credit. The eyes Of
the nation were upon him: thousands.
probably millions, were pulling
against him. yet he showed no bad
effects from the terrible strain he
had been under and pitched one OF
his best games OF the year.
No weak -knccd. faint-hcarted
pitcher could have given such an ex-
hibition.
Perhaps the sweetest music that
Mays ever heard in professional base
ball was the cheers OF the Cleveland
fans last spring when no pitched his
first game In "Chappie's" town after
the fatal accident OF last autumn.
Some hoodlums started 10 hiss Mays
when he went out on the rubber.
but the cheers OF the fair inded
fans drowned out the Kisses.
