BRUTAL CRIMES
LAID AT DOOR
OF YOUNG MEN

A wave Of crime in which brutality
plays a prominent part appears TO be
sweeping over the nation. ln Chicago
within the past few days two young
men have been the victims Of the most
vicious crimes in the history of Chi
eago police activities.
One of them was mutilated by
enemies who apparently have no re-
gard for human life or character
The other was slain and thrown from
an automobile to the street where he
was found dead by pedestrian a few
minutes after the crime.
In Sacramento, Calf, recently an
aged man was found on a highway
with a sharp stick driven through his
abdomen. The man was in a dying
condition, but had been able TO drag
himself to the road after suffering all
night and part Of the day from the
assault.
He attributed the crime to two
young men associates, who he charged
with robbing him, and because Of the
small amount Of money found on his
person they drove sharp stick into
his intestines.
What deprayity human nature has
Nhen sell control ana MANHOOD are
wanting is seen in these incidents.
was it the knowledge that Union La
Dor has just passed one Of the most
successful years in is history, and
only recently clcesd one Of the most
effective annual conventions in the
history Of the American Federation
Of Labor?
Labor is an the threshold Of It's bet
ter days. There is an obvious turn
ing Of the public 10 an attitude Of
respect for the cause OF the Union
workman. National leaders Of finance
show a tendency to follow the exam
piles Of a few and grant Labor the
living wage If has demanded through
decades of hard fighting. That is
something worth while to be thankful
! for.

The country is Hooded with cheap,
unreliable publications Of the weekly
or monthly magazine form. The trash
published in these Un-American
newspaper" is soaked in by large
percent Of the public seemingly in the
belief that they contain the sum total
Of all truth.
The effect can be only to awaken
suspicion that everybody is wrong
but few would-be editors who are
either fanatical in their zeal for a
cause" or INSCRIPTIONS in their
methods Of making money.
The need Of the newspaper world
today is for editors, reporters and
writer's who have a higher regard for
truth than they have for sensational
reading, even though the latter may
entice the public and result in large
profits.

dent Harding will suggest Congress
change the Volstead law to end diff
culties growing out of the Supreme
Courts decision that foreign ships
must not bring even sea stores Of
liquor into American waters, it was
Indicated today by an Administration
spokesman at the White House.
At present Mr.. Harding feels the
Government has no choice in the mat
ter but must rigidly enforce the Su-
preme Courts ruling. He believes,
however. Congress had no intention of
making the law so drastic as the Su-
preme Court held 1t to be.
The Administration statement today
constituted an answer to the protests
from eight maritime nations against
the new hquor regulations. No ex-
ceptions. amendment or abatements
viii be made, 1t was clearly indicated
and all ships entering American wa
ters must remain dry under the regu-
latons until Congress changes the
law.
