The deplorable murder of a Chi
cago youth and the confession of two
young men under twenty-one years
of age, has been the leading headliner
in metropolitan newspapers through
out the week.
1t is difficult to believe that such
a crime could be committed. The
youths who confessed declared they
had no motive but adventure. The
ransome demanded was nothing to
either of the youths whose parents
are among the wealthy people of Chi
cago.
The tragedy has its moral lessons.
Both boys were given all the spending
money they needed-probably all they
wanted. The late Sam Jones, promin-
ent evangelist of his day, once said in
discourisng on the training of young
men: IF boy is worth anything he
don't need your money; If he is not
worth anything, every cent you give
him will sink him deeper"
These two confessed youthful muir
derers had access to one or more OF
the family automobiles. They wert
permitted to remain out all night
and apparently were not compelled tt
give strict account of their doings
They were allotted enough spending
money to keep working mans fam
lily in comfort.
That is one of the evils of great
wealth. Much is written about thu
hardships of poverty. Someone need.

question, and each be content to in
habit its own sphere then there would
be less likelihood Of war. 1t Is when
races clash that war is inevitable.
For generations America has been
a melting pot for heterogeneous races
people of different blood, varied
religion, and wide diversity Of inter
ests. Through our constitutional right,
which is granted to all people, we have
become a nation a. hopelessly inter-
mixed as it is possible to imagine.
Now we are facing the super-human
task Of bringing these antagonistie
peoples together under one banner and
one ideal. 1t will be generations be
fore this is accomplished.
There is today more misunderstand-
ing in America than ever. Alien peo-
pies who have come here purely to
take advantage of Americas oppor'
tunity are selfish. They have not
been trained in their own lands in
American ways and customs; they
have been unwilling to change their
own modes of living in conformance
with American traditions; they arc
here purely for what they can make
and earn-at least this has been the
history Of immigration.
We have not denied any alien peo-
pie the refuge of our land until re-
Gently when it became obvious that
unless we called a halt We would be
compelled to transform our ideals into
molly collection of European, and
oriental prejudices which would mean
that America would cease to exist
and that the constitution would cease
to function.
BY our leniency we have very nearly
approached this undesirable status
The restrictions upon immigration
/ became absolutely necessary in order
to preserve the freedom in which the
American nation was founded.
American born people do not hate
those of alien birth. They have simply

to give more. To continue the at

The city council is contemplating an
ordinance restricting motorists. There
are already laws on the statutes of
the city that provide for safeguarding
the public welfare and they are not
and cannot be strictly enforced. The
most that police officers can do is to
catch one violator now and then.
The reason is THE AUTOMOBILE.
Laws are made for automobiles; but
| automobiles are not made for laws.
Neither are the streets or highways.
They are made for horses and pedes-
trians. The automobile is made for
curved corners, double tracks, traffic
subways under the streetcars and
railroads, and numerous other changes
in the laying out of city that have
not kept pace with rapid transit.
Chicago found twenty-five or more
years ago that it was necessary in
carrying the suburban to his point of
labor in good time to press the button,
that elevated railroads were a neces-
sity-and> Chicago built them.
But the automobile is surface car
1t cannot travel on an elevated track.
1t must come down to earth. But our
streets and highways are still built
for horses. That is the reason-and
very simple reason at that-why
motor laws are not enforced and can
not be.
There is way to enforce them.
Reduce the speed of the automobile to
fifteen miles an hourl Forbid anyone
to operate a motor vehicle that can
travel faster than horse. Then the
laws can be enforced. If the public
is unwilling to do this then it should
be willing, for the sake of saving life,
to build cities and streets for automo-
biles and not for horses. In other
words either abolish the automobile or
prepare for it. 1t is nothing more nor
less than pure nonsense to expect a
motorist to obey the present traffic
laws. He cannot do it because he
hasn't the heart to do it.
In this age of progress the automo-
bile--a rapid transit vehicle, is made
for speed. Without speed we cannot
keep pace with other modern improve
ments. The automobile should not and
will not be abolished, nor will it be
reduced to an insignificant two cylin-
der affair that coughs and wheezes
and gets nowhere. The solution of
the problem of enforcing speed laws
Is to permit rapid travel and to re-
build the streets and highways for
rapid transit purposes where danger
is all but eliminated. This can be
done. But it will cost something and
it means that city councils must
study the problem of recreating the
cities of America, and building double
tracks instead of single tracks be-
tween cities.

Reds Renew Fund Drive
Under Guise Of Raising
Money For Relief Work

this campaign is the most direct rep
resentative of the Moscow hierarchy
in the United States.
The International Workers Aid in
the United States succeeds the
Friends of Soviet Russia. The Friends
of Soviet Russia had credentials from
what in Russia is known as the polit
bureua, which is really the executive
committee of the Russian communist
party and the highest and final au-
thority in the soviet machine The
standing of the polit bureau is best
gauged by the fact that it issues the
credentials for all spies and secret
service workers abroad
Relief Appeal is Bunk
The workers party of America is
affiliated to the red international and
the international Workers Aid is
likewise linked with that organization
The appeal for money for the 're-
lief" of political prisoners in Europe
is in reality an appeal by the highest
communist authorities in Russia for
money with which to sustain commun-
ist propaganda in Europe and with
which to sustain communist agents
who may be imprisoned for attacks
upon European governments and in
stitutions.
1t has been stated repeatedly in
communist official declarations that
the first purpose of communist efforts
is propaganda, and the present effort
is exactly like every other effort

ing deceived into helping the com
