ROAD TO SUCCESS.

In the attainment of solid, well-founded success there has not been found a substiute for honest labor with the hands or mind. The ages have recog- 1ized this as an immutable truisrn, yet every age, includ- ing the present, has had it's skeptiss, it's unbelievers. it's seekers after fame and fortune without paying~the price in work.
 Some sage has said that to attain success use half as much effort as you would exert in attempting to seek success without work: There is much wisdom in the axiom that it takes less mental effort to climb to legitimate success than to climb to an illegitimate success. Legitimate achieve rnent requires no Qualifications, no protection. Illegitimate achievement demands more in its retainmenf than in it's at tainn1ent.
 l It is "a gross injustice to in-
Hyder weekly herald., 1926-11-08

humanity to say that if there
 is any one thing, more than another, that enlists very much of the attention, time and effort of the people it is in scheming and planning to get something of value for. nothing.

 ] Adding up all the various kinds of taxes and comparing with last year, Uncle Sam got some $250, ,000, ,00O more out of his nephews and nieces this year than last. More than one-quarter of all the taxes came from New York state.
 Tax reductions, strange as it may seem, have not reduced taxes. They have merely made it easier to pay. Evidently thre are more taxable proper ty, greater incomes and 1ore incomes of the taxable height than ever before.
 The fact that the country can take it's taxes out of it's in- come without any greater dis turbance than it has felt this year is an evidence of much stability. The removal is felt definitely in every income 'taxmonth, but not to an extent which cannot. be snioothed out midway between tax-due peri ods.

CONCERNING kioEIDAYs.

Some day somebody will be moved to utter a warming against the unlicensed multi plication of legal holidays. The more holidays we get, the less inclined people are to take them seriously. A few enthusi- astically observed would be better for the object intended than many indifferently 'cele- brated or neglected altogether.
 New Year long ago lost it's significance for most people. Even the public schools usual + do not close for Lincoln's birthday or for Columbus day. Comparatively few observe Thansgiving as a religious festival. Even Memorial day has become more a touring and outing occasion than one for remembering those who saved the Union.
 If legal holidays are to be merely occasions for escaping work they might as we'll be distributed evenly through the. year. It would simplify mat ters, for instance, to have a specified day of every month made a legal holiday, taking it's name in case from some historic anniversary occurring within the month.
 The tendency, of course, is always to multiply, never to decrease, the number of hol- days. We may ignore a holi- day, but we never legislate it out of existence; and it is small honor to a hero or an. historic event for the public generally either to- neglect, the holiday set aside in com- memoration or to turn the cell ebration into channels foreign to its original purpose
 Who will be first seriously to. suggest a revision of holi- day schedule in the interests of, a harassed and ; confused mankind7.

CHICAGO POLICE
KICHERUPS FACE
PRISON SENTENCE
Huge Liquor Graft Ex-
posed by Federal Probe

Wholesale indictments against Chi.
cago police officers from patrolmen to
the "higher-ups" will be brought in
by the federal grand jury soon, it is
reliably reported as result of In
vestigations made by federal agents
in connection with the graft revela-
tons of Chicago police bootleg activi-
ties.
Have Enough Dope.
Enough evidence is in the hands of
the government now to send at least
five police captains to Leavenworth,
it is reported, and by the end of the
week, it is expected that Is Of the
''higher-ups" will face similar charges.
The inquiry is uncovering an intri-
cate pay-off system, whereby police
officials are waxing rich protecting
bootleggers.
Officers Squeal.
Most Of the evidence in the case is
being cleaned from disgruntled police
officers who failed to get theirs"
when the graft money was distribut-
ed, federal investigators report. Not
only win these officers be called be-
fore the judy, but prominent figures
in Chicagos underworld are also slat-
ed to testify.
One angle in the investigation dis
closes that some police, while shak-
ing down bootleggers in their own dis
tricts were peddling booze them
selves on their off-time.
Received Huge Sums.
Sums paid officers for protection
range from $3.50 a month to flat pay
ments Of $1,000 and $4,000, it is al
legged. A cutting plant on ogden
avenue is reported TO have kicked
in" $1,000 as initial payment" and
$3.50 monthly besides. Three places
in single block on West Division
street, according to officials, put in
SO, 500 to be allowed to conduct their
business.
Chief Of Police Collins, 1t is indi-
Gated, will be asked to testify to ex-
plain the system of open bookings"
by which officers arrest offenders,
fine" them, and release them, with
out making records Of the case.
