COOK COUNTY
JAIL IN RACE
WITH CICERO
Guard Threatens to Put
Judge in Barrel

How to keep booze out of Cook
County Jail Is becoming more of a
problem than to keep bootleggers in
side. Things are coming to such a
{ ass nowadays that prisoners Indicted
foi murder lurch into court as If they
were promenadlng the deck of an
ocean liner in heavy sea.
May Wear Nose Bags.
Honorable judges may soon have to
wear gas masks to protect themselves
from the strongly favored breath Of
the prisoner on the witness stand
when he turns around to ask. his honor
privileged question. 1t might be
considered contempt of court to even
suggest that the day may come when
the judge would accept a nip from a
prisoners hip flask to show that there
was no hard feeling, particularly if
the prisoner happened to be a repub-
lican or democratic ward leader whose
only crime was the dispatching of a
political rival.
The Deiuded Sheriff.
That the jail is running wide open"
for those who have the money is an
open secret. No sooner was Sheriff
Hoffman released from another Jail
where he spent thirty days for liber-
ties extended to the millionaire boot
leggers Druggan and Lake, than new
troubles confronted him. That poor
fellow has a dogs life with unfaithful
and indiscreet underlings
Crowds Floeked to Court.
While Martin Durkin was on trial,
a snooper smeIled liquor off his breath.
The following day saw the court
crowded with people standing on the
window stills and reaching in a long
que down three flights Of stairs. The
bailiffs cleared the corridors. There
was not enough smell to go around
anyhow. The jury got envious of
Marty and handed him a thirty-fve
years sentence. The judge also was
sore.
The Judge Got Fresh.
A few days ago a man who is sus-
pected of killing somebody in Indiana
was taken to court by Jail guard. He
was the star actor in a hearing on a
plea to have him returned to Indiana
for trial. The prisoner expressed his
desire to throw the judge out the
window and said what he thot of
States Attorney Grove. When the
guard got busy to remove the prisoner
to the jail, the former had locomotion
difficulties and there we're other indica-
tons that he had been imbibing a
prohibited, but it seems very available
beverage.
It Must Be Good Stuff.
When his suspected condition was
commented on by his honor, the guard
felt insulted and threatened to pry
the Judge loose from his underwear.
AS anybody, who ever sat in a court
knows, this borders on sacrilege or
lese majesty. Contempt of court is not
expressive enough.
Hoffman May Be Framed Again.
This only taps the key, so to speak.
Worshippers of Bacchus are reported
to be seen daily in the vicinity of the
county jail with extended nostrils hop
ing to catch. a stray Whit Of liquored
breath from Chicago's Bermuda. The
sheriff is doing the best he can to
stop the illicit traffic but we are in
agony lest a still is discovered in his
private Office one of those days. In
that case it will require the resource
fulness Of an Aimee Mcpherson or a
Mrs. Eddy to explain the plot" away.

Americas Workers Must
Stand BY the Filipinos
During Peace and War
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

American people. This is the same
stuff with which the deposed car
and kaiser tried to hold the Rus
sian and German masses in line
for their imperialist adventures.
There will be many who utter
brave words in defense of the
Filipinos, as the Tribune has been
in the habit of doing in the past,
that will turn turtle Immediately
the war drums begin to beat. This
happens in all wars.
But the number of workers and
farmers, who will oppose the next
Morgan war, will be many times the
small handful that dared stand out
against Americas participation in
the last slaughter in Europe to
make the world safe for Wall
Streets international bankers. Evil
IDENTIFY this is what the Tribune
fears, since 1t begins so early it's
campaign for the next splitting Of
blood, this time in the orient.
Nothing can indicate better than
the Tribune editorial that the
United States intends remaining in
the Philippines. That is inevitable.
Many Filipinos refuse to recog-
nize this fact. This resulted in a
very friendly reception being given
Colonel Carmi A. Thompson upon
his arrival in the islands as a rep
resentative of Coolidge. The horde
of American newspaper correspond
ents accompanying the colonel i'm
mediately interpreted this friendli-
ness as an indication that the
Filipinos have no desire for indie
pendence. 1t was heralded thru the
land that they were satisfied with
American rule.
No greater injury could have been
done the cause of Filipino independ-
ence. 1t will take some time to
counteract this impression spread
among great masses in the United
States.
The belated declaration of the
joint session of the senate and
house of representative Of the
Philippine legislature unanimously
asking Colonel Thompson to inform
President Coolidge of the intense
desire of the Filipino masses for
immediate, absolute and complete
independence, will help correct this
impression.
The fact that the Filipino legis-
lators sat silent and sullen when
Governor-General Leonard Wood,
the agent of American imperialism.
appeared before them in the CON-
pany of Colonel Thompson, should
go laundering thruout the land, as
indicating the resentment of the
Filipino against the foreign oppres-
sor.
Against what is fright or wrong"
for the capitalist class, labor holds
up what is right or wrong" for the
working class. 1t is right for Amer
lean labor to develop its struggle
against the exploiters at home by
developing their unity with the
liberation struggle of the Filipinos.
1t is wrong for American labor to
voice its pious wishes for the future
emancipation Of the Filipinos and
then, when the inevitable war is
declared, spinelessly acquiesce as
the Tribune suggests, and as was
done by the oficialdom of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor during the
last war. Opposition to the interests
Of Wall Street Imperialism must
continue even more theoretically
after war has been declared Amar.

DISPATCHES from China say that
- the Communists are embarking
on an ambitious move to seize control
Of all China. What they mean is that
the nationalist revolutionary govern
ment of Canton apparently has dis
patched strong army northwards to
unite with the northern armies of
General Feng. According to unpub-
lished stories from China, which were
Iilled by the capitalist papers, the re-
dictionary forces in China have suffer-
ed severe defeats recently.
. A FTER telling of the vandalism
L \ practized by the armies of WI
Pei Flu and Chang Tso Lin on the

Picking correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, winds up with the following
gruesome paragraph: "A woman
with bound feet circumambulating
twelve hours a day in the unmerciful
sun Of the Chill plains, dragging or
pushing the log that turns the heavy
stone roller, always under the rifle of
loafing soldier, would turn a strong
mans heart, but 1t is even worse.
Tho utterly exhausted by nightfall,
these women get nS rest; instead they
are victims Of the lust of these same
soldiers" That is the brand OF civiliza-
ton the capitalists have brought to
China.

This statement Of the aims and pur-
poses of the campaign was issued 10
the public yesterday by the group that
took part in the dinner discussion:
1.-THE sovereignty of the United
States covers the Philippine Islands as
1t does Texas or Illinois and is recog-
niZed by all the nations of the world
except Russia. This territory was ac-
quired first by the blood of our soldiers
and sailors and then by purchase and
treaty. Our flag flies there-our Navy
guards its Waters-our soldiers main
tain order and uphold our Constitu-
ton.
"Since May, 1898, we have occupied
this territory. Our schools followed
close on the heels of the soldiers. Next
came our pioneers with the old spirit
revived, seeking their fortunes in n
new country under our flag. Our bust
ness men were soon investing their
capital in the gold, iron and coal
mines. in the production OF sugar. to-
bacco, hemp and rubber, and in bank
ing, shipping, import and export trade.
