ZANNI DISAPPOINTS
JAPANESE WATCHERS
Thousands Wait at Toxic Air Port
While Argentine Flyer
Rests.
BY the Associated Press.


kASUMIGAURA, October l0.-Dis-
appointed thousands waited at the
water front here throughout the day
for the appearance of Maj. Pedro
Zanni. Argentine aviator, who unex
pectcdly delayed his air cruise from
kagoshima, Japan, to this port, the
air base for Toxic. by landing at
kushimoto. where he decided to re-
main for the night.
The kasumigaura reception COM
mittee included Rear Admiral komat-
Su. commander of the flying base here.
and high officials of the army, navy
and communications department,
whose Disappointment was made more
intense by perfect flying weather,
which they thought would make the
Argentine aviator's arrival here today
certain.
The weather forecast for tomorrow
is unsettled. An ella borate banquet
has been planned for Maj Zanni to-
morrow night at the flying base here.

crop good, but the corn crop was
splendid. too, and to have two good

What are the issues? President
Coolidge was at the height of his
popularity in June, but there have
been recesSions since. So the situa-
zion has resolved itself into a Demo-
cratic and Republican fight, and with

this year the choice appears to be be-
tween two safe and sane candidates

Scared by Flank Attack.
The Republican managers have for
some time been scared by this flank
attack from one of the best known
natives Of Kansas Now they are
beginning to persuade themselves
that White will simply split the
Democratic vote. which is largely
anti klap, and the election of Paulen
viii be assured. Not so in Democratic
circles, where they point with signifi-
canye to the fact that scarcely day
passes that some NEGRO lodge or or
ganiZation doe mt send copies to
headquarters of the resolutions they
have passed on to the White House
petitioning President Coolidge to
come out Squarely against the klan
in statement over his ,own sigma
ture.
The negro vote is estimated at $4,000.
The Democrats cannot expect all of this,
but every vote they get is gain over
previous years. 70" it is quite out of
the ordinary for negroes to invite the
Democratic state chairman to attend
their meetings. and that's what has
been happening out here.
The shift in the negro vote. the re-
coyery of La Toilette votes by John
W Davis and the steady anti-Coolidse
campaign being carried on by the Demo-
Gratis are the main sources of their
optimism. They may be right but the
writer is inclined to believe that as
the race approaches climax the PreSl-
dent will have the advantage in the con-
test for the electoral votes of Kansas.
Those who have been counting on La
Toilette to carry Kansas, however,
might as well cross that off their list

Folding Beds 1000 Years Old.

From the London Answers.
Folding beds are a least 1000 years
old One of them was recently taken
from a tomb of old Egypt and con-
veyed to an American museum.
The Egyptians apparently con-
sidered a folding bed a very precious
and valuable possession. Nothing of
this sort has been found except in the
tombs of the very rich.
At the same time that these folding
beds were found an archeologist dis
covered a bunk used on the Nile boats

TROUBLE IN EGYPT.

The British have lost no time in pre- senting a military front on land and sea to the Egyptian malcontents There will be no popular uprising against the British in that country. Vengeance is too immi- nent and certain. It is not understood that the British mean to impose their will on Egypt in the present difficulty, but rather that the British will not permit the Egyptians to seek by violence to escape just decision as to the controversy. The Liberal press of England demands the interpretation of the League of Nations, and it may be that their demand is well conceived Perhaps, if eventualities arise, England will agree upon that course. However, the warships and the warlike battalions indicate that the sltua- tion will at least be held in statu quo un- til the league acts. The British ministry does not appear to regard the subject as a proper one for league mediation. But if the league is to mean anything, doubt less that is a decision the league will make for itself

REASONS FOR THANKSGIVING.

Y.o There are so many reasons why the American people should approach Thanks giving Day with spirit of gratitude that it is not easy to enumerate many ot them in limited space. For a long time the immediate past has not provided the na- tion with so many causes for optimism . and reinsurance. The future holds many promises of prosperity founded on a solid basis. Business is showing most gratifying evidences of expansion. Agri- culture is steadily advancing, with every prospect of still further improvement
 The world shows a purpose to emerge from the woes of war from winch It has . suffered so severely, morally and mate rially, and a hopeful spirit pervades the nations for the first time in years.
 Here in America not only have the harvests been fruitful, but labor has been we'll employed, business has felt the buoyant influence of a stronger feeling of confidence, peace has prevailed in the industrial field and there has been neither serious pestilence nor calamity. There are reasons for thanksgiving in the social, moral and spiritual life of the American people. There is lately a ,keener sense of values as respects civic ideals and law enforcement. The de- mand from every source IS for improve :, ment, and influences are at work that Z promise better conditions.
 7 The Birmingham district has been peculiarly fortunate in it's record of ex- pansion. There are few sections in the country which have attained so much progress in every field of worthy under :. taking. Industrial conditions during the $ year have been all that could be expected. i Commercial activity has been kept at high speed Building operations have set new high records, and standards of citizenship have shown unmistakable evidences of Improvement. Certainly the district has every reason to give thanks for the many blessings 1t has enjoyed, and for the ab- sence of community hardships.

CONFIDENCE IN THE FRENCH.

That the financial world has confidence in the thrift of the French people, as we'll as in the integrity of their govern- ment, is indicated again by the prompt way in which the new loan to France by a group of American bankers was over subscribed. The loan was in the form of twenty-five-year bonds the proceeds of which will reimburse the Bank of France for loans to the government, and thus stabilize the franc.
 The amount of the loan was small, con- Isidering the improved industrial and fi- nancial conditions in France. It was three times over-subscribed within an hour after the books were opened and com manded a premium in initial dealings on the New York Stock Exchange. Perhaps the comparatively high interest rate, coupled with the discount in principal, made a strong appeal to the American investing public, yet it is significant that other French loans since the World War, which sold at par, were quickly over-sub- scribed, and at time when both indus trial and financial conditions in France were regarded as less favorable.
 Since the American experts plan for German separations has been accepted by

CHIcAGo,s DRIVE ON CRIME.

%The law-enforcing agencies in Chicago have come to the momentous conclusion that "organized crime must be abolished This conclusion is admission on the part of these agencies that they have per mitted organized crime to develop. 1t has always been the opinion of the aver age citizen that organized crime and every other kind must be abolished as far as possible or held in check. The Chicago official opinion is that there should be more hangings. Which brings on the further thought that the more hangings there are, the less hangings there will have to be.
 Crime is doubtless to some extent disease, but to considerably greater ex. tent it is an impulse under the control ot the subject. This is proved by the fact that in countries where punishment ls swift, severe and certain crime is less than in the United States where the op' posite is true in all three particulars Prosecutor Grove, who waged such vigorous fight for the conviction and punishment of Leopold and Loeb, has ordered the police to arrest every known gunman and gangster in Chicago. This order is another confession, in that it is admission that there are scores of criml- nals in Chicago whose profession IS known to the police and whose only prob abile source of livelihood is crime. For known criminals it is not so much ques- ton of society's duty to them as of their duty to society. Society owes its first duty to those who are not criminals, and the foremost duty is protection of the public against criminals.
 It is hoped that Chicago will perform this duty of bringing criminals to book with the same thoroughness and eff ciency that have marked Chicago's achievement of other undertakings. It will be salutary example for both crimi- nals and law enforcement agencies else where. It will reduce crime.
