n MOTHER gangster is killed and
n States Attorney Grove has
found his voice. "You will hear from
this office now" or words to that eff
feet, said Grove. The antics of the
police. judges, newspapers and the,
horde Of capitalist politicians who
make their living in the sewers of
capitalist society are Of interest to
Communists. If you follow the his
tory Of such cleanup campaigns" as
take place after every major murder
wave, you will notice that nothing
ever happens to those who violate the
law on a scale sufficiently large, to
enable them to put the law-enforcers
on the payroll.
DOBERT E. GROVE, the favorite
X son Of the Chicago chamber of
commerce has not opened his trap
about the Dean O'Banion murder.
Neither has he made any explanation
of the fact that the honorable O'Ban-
ion, who is credited with a mortuary
record of from nine to twenty-five.
was one of his chief political hackers
in the election fight. 1t is safe to say
that if a strikebreaker lost finger
curing a struggle between the work
ers and the bosses, that Grove would
be on the job Immediately with all
his allies.
n N Indian prince and lady of
~ easy virtue plus attractive per-
sonality are now the star actors in
one Of the greatest court sensations
in recent London history. The prince
parted with s65e.000 Of his money,
in order to keep his relations with this
fair lady out of the press. But the
Midland Bank, where he deposited the
money for the benefit of the "outrag-
ed" husband. did not take the neces-
aary precautions to protect the
princes money for said husband,
therefore the latter is suing the bank.
for negligence. 1t happens that the
prince is an officer in the Indian army
so the British government ordered
the court to keep his highness's name
out of the record This has not kept
the gentleman's name out of the press,
but he can ignore that, on the ground
that it is out of order.
THE London papers report that
Ramsay Macdonald has abandon
cd his plan to visit South America and
will visit Jamaica and Panama instead
Macdonald may travel far but he will
have some difficulty in leaving mem
cries of the "Zinoviev" letter behind
him. As was to be expected, the tories
who framed the plot now conclude
that the letter is genuine, but that it
does not amount to a row of sugar
stalks compared to other things.
Which is quite true. The tories are
more worried about Soviet influence
in India and Egypt than they are
about forged documents, forged by
the tories.
n MOTHER socialist paper has given
~ up the ghost Outside Of the
New Leader of New York, most
OF the existing socialist papers ara
printed in printing factory" in Read
ing, Pa, where papers are turned out
in mass. Even with this form Of pro-
duction, the socialists are so democrat
ized that they cannot raise the funds
to keep their weekly sheets alive.
But while the socialist papers are
sinking the DAILY WORKER is
forging ahead.
N MILITANT revolutionary mem
~ bership is the best guarantee that
thS. great American Communist daily
is aaing TO live and live vigorously.
The campaign now being conducted
for the DAILY WORKER will insure
it for 1925 and until the rule of CAPT
