a DIRECT CHALLENGE TO
THE CHIEF OF POLICE
Continued from Page z

ana CndOS TdtilcI tuon VAoSA -
But, this point of contact
between the gunner, the
blackmailers, the commercial
lied gamblers and the police
department in this city is going
to be broken if it takes the
United States Government to
do it.
This is. one time that the
gang and it's killers are up
against the real thing.
Guilford is fighting for his
life on cot in St. Barnabas
hospital-my own life has been
threatened, but we have never
weakened AND WE ARE NOT
FOR SALE.
Now, as to the curb-news
stands:
They are there through suf-
frage only. In other words,
they have no legal right to be
there but are permitted
through the courtesy OF the
PUBLIC-not the Chief of Po-
lice.
They are actually an OBJ
struction to pedestrian and We
hicle traffic and any taxpayer
can take legal action to have
them removed. If the police
find them displaying or offer
ing for sale any obscene, vile
or profane publication it can,
in the interests of public mo-
rails" order the offending pub
LEGATION removed from sale or
the proprietor arrested.
The Saturday Press cannot
be included in these classified
tons. It is not obscene, it is
not profane, it is not vile, it
incites no riot, it defies no law,
IT DEMANDS THAT LAWS
BE ENFORCED - that the
Chief of Police suppress vice
and crime in this city, rather
than protect it. And for dar-
ing to do that, it is banned
from these curb-stands that
exist only through suffrage.
Now, friends, neither Mr..
Guilford nor myself are posing
as ''bad men," we have no de-
sire to work a hardship on any
legitimate business; we are
sincere in our determination to
rid Minneapolis of its gunner
and gangsters AND WE ARE
GOING TO DO 1T. If in doing
that, we are compelled to put
your police department in the
same sack with the gangsters,
don't blame us. The fault is
not ours. We ask only that
Chief of Police Brunskill obey
the law HIMSELF and compel
the habitual law-violators to
obey it also.
If for demanding obedience
to law we are to be prosecuted
and impoverished, so be it,
BUT THE FIGHT GOES ON.

Current beef prices which have occasioned discussion in the press are not due 10 any scarcity of meat. though there is a temporary short age Of certain kinds of beef. Last week carcass prices ranged from IT to 23 cents a pound. This repre- sentG an increase of about 25 per cent over Q year ago and though there is an ample supply of whole some, palatable beef. the kind which makes choice roasts and steaks is wholesaling at the highest prices which have prevailed since the war.
 This is q situation which is bringing prosperity to the farmers and stock raisers of the country. Live cattle prices have been vt,t| low for q number of years and many producers have been bankrupted. This naturally resulted in the dis couragement O producers and a re- duction of herds so that the present year found q supply that was not adequate to the demand Of a pros- porous country, Cattle prices ac-

to Mexico City.

Paris, Dec. 15 Pl--Tha familiar features of Charles A. Lindbergh once more smile from the front pages of French newspapers. They appeared today in illustration of long cabled accounts Of his flight and reception at Mexico City.
 Technical experts emphasized that the exploit was all the more brilliant, as they believed that it was made in adverse weather condl- tons since the plane apparently did not attain the speed of which it is capable.
 The experts and the public arc both lost in admiration for the single-minded tenacity and indefati- Sability Of Lindy in the cause of aviation. It was remarked that he had hardly set foot in American upon his return from France when he started his campaign to pro- mote the cause of aviation by fly ing the length and breadth of the United States.
 Le Matin said that he made the Mexican flight by way of rest and recreation.

 Economic laws will work to keep a proper balance between the con sumer's demand and the farmers output. The existence of a plenti- full supply Of pork. veal. lamb and many grades Of beef priced materi- ally below those grades which are now causing comment, will enable the consumers to obtain their requi- site meat supplies even while the temporary shortage of long fed cat tie keeps the highest quality beef al top figures.
