In no other record can you get the
same wonderful degree of surface
quietness and pure, uninterrupted
music, for the simple reason that
Columbia alone possesses the secret
of making material which, employed
as a surface for phonograph records,
obliterates obnoxious and intrusive
surface sounds.
This new substance does not hush
loud surface noises. They are never
created. Surface noise is merely fric-
ton, the point of the needle grinding
on microscopic roughness and multi
piled by the sensitive reproducer. In
New Process Columbia Records this
microscopic roughness is refined away
till friction is almost fiction. T

In 1920 the present mayor was

as though the voters approved OF

Vice: Its Significance.

Kansas City, Nov. 23.-Editor Ar
gus: II The Argus is On the level
in its fight against lawlessness in
Rock Island, l would suggest that
it publish the following taken from
the weekly bulletin Of the Jackson
County Medical association:
Recently published reports Of
so-called vice conditions in a small
city in the bordering state indi-
Gates deplorable condition; but as
bad as it is, 1t is not this specific
instance we wish briefly to discuss,
but to put the question: Why
should such a state of vice be per-
mitted to, exist in any city at any
time?
mo one stands for vice. Nobody
sits up nights to protect it. No.
body excuses it or apologies for it.
If vice were not a producer Of
profits there would be no difficulty
in suppressing it. The real center
of the vice question is not vice
1t has never been a question
OF vice, 1t is a question of
dollars. profits, revenue Vice,
alone, is subject that is men
toned only in whispers in polite
society, and the word is not known
in the vocabulary of those having
access to the inner circle. Those
who think the meat Of the vice
quest on is vice, are fooling them
selves, and those who think the eff
fective way to rid locality of vice
is to fight vice are wasting their
time and money.
"The individuals who furnish the
effective opposition to cleaning up
our cities care nothing for vice
they would fight it themselves. They
are interested in the profits Of
vice-the revenue it. produces. The
man. in the city referred to above,
who paid $1,000 per month for the
protection of his soft drink parlor
was shot down in the street when
business became SO dull he could
not make a payment. The higher
up who sent the collector back
with instructions to get the money
probably had never seen the par

money When the revnue stopped
there was a shooting Dead men
tell no tales. Don't lose sight of
the fact that vice makes dollars.
Dollars make votes. Dollars buy
drinks. Dollars pay. all kinds Of
bills. Dollars will also make bonds
and provide legal protection for
those in trouble The Lord only
knows what dollars won't do in
this country.
What snap it would be to
clean up our cities if the fight were
with vice; but it is not. It is with
vice concentrated. Vice has long
