ANTI.SYNDAcALISM UPHELD

By a sweeping decision the United
States Supreme Court has upheld
the Anti-Syndicalism laws Of Cali
fornia and Kansas. The decision
wipes out the claims of all Radicals
and political subversionists that
have had the right to operate to
the destruction of our constitutional
forms. The court holds that the
rights of free press, free speech
and free assembly do not extend to
annihilationistic processes or use of
force in m king fundamental
changes in our form of government
or industry.
Constitutional rights cannot be
resorted to for processes of treason
or sedition or of crime to promote
destructive ends. The California
law defines criminal syndicalism as
"any doctrine or precept. advocating,
teaching or aiding and abetting the
commission of crime, sabotage or
unlawful acts of force and violence
or unlawful methods of terrorism
as means of accomplishing changes
in industrial ownership and control
or effecting any political change" I"
Any person or organization, or one
belonging to any organization
formed to teach, advocate, aid or
abet criminal syndicalism commits
felony.
The reds, if they could gain the
power, would deprive all but them
selves of rights now commonly en-
joyed by Americans, and destroy
political freedom of all who dis
agree with them.
The Supreme Court has upheld
fundamental principles of American
Government and free speech under
majority rule as an essential means
of its exercise. But this does not
mean incendiary minds can start
fires with impunity, whether by the
torch or by less direct but even more
dangerous means. The law against
criminal syndicalism was intended
to restrict both those who openly
advocate and practice the doctrines
of destruction and those who lend
their influence to such movements.
Its effect has served the intent, and
the Supreme Court has set it's seal
of approval upon the letter of the
law, it's administration and its pur-
pose. A vast majority of citizens
will be pleased to receive assurance
that law morally and socially cor
rect is also technically right and
will continue to stand as bulwark
of righteous government by a
peaceable people.
California can feel well satisfied
with it's criminal syndicalism law.
1t has been judged valid by the high
est court in the land, and it's admin
istratioR fulfills the intent of the
lawmakers who framed it. Other
states might do well to copy it.

Mississippi floods: That this conti-
nent has started to go the way OF
the lost continent of Atlantis.
The popular belief has been that
the folks on Atlantis woke up one
bright morning and found them
selves at the bottom of the sea with
all their great cities.
This scientist holds to the belief
that the destruction of that lost land
began in some such way as the Mis-

THE ACCIDENT
PREVENTION PROBLEM.

Compelling every automobile
owner to carry liability insurance
will not in itself prevent accidents.
Indeed, there are those who con-
tend that a reckless driver, insured,
becomes more reckless than before.
Instead of constantly striving to
make it easier for the reckless
driver to operate car to the detri-
ment of the public. why not make
it more difficult by imposing obli-
cations based on character and
ability to drive.
During 1926, there were 1000
accidental injuries and 246 deaths
every day in the United States.
Motor cars were the largest single
contributor to the death, hospital,
and the $4,OOO,O0O,0O0 money loss.
Some accidents seem unavoidable
but by far the greater majority are
easily avoidable: by car inspection,
by reasonable driving, by fair con-
sideration of others, by pedestrian
decency and care. The speedster
and the jaywalker are twin perils;
the foot hog and the car hog are
other twins, alike deadly; the get
out-of-my-way driver and the YOU
observation-disclosures pedestrian run
neck and neck in the fatility list,
for themselves and for others.
Safety is largely an individual
matter; it must be taught to every
person, every succeeding generation
there is no hereditary or race
caution to save anybody.
The best contribution any man
can make to public safety is to be
careful himself, and to demand
caution in his own family whether
it walks or rides. This loss of
$4,000, 100000 year in accidents,
most of them avoidable, is every
body's business, and until everybody
does his part, the slaughter and loss
will continue.

DEMPSEY INSPECTS

Former Heavyweight Champion
Gets TumultuOuS Welcome

Chicago, Aug. 10 P-Inspired by
a tumultuous welcome Jack Demp-
sey today began looking over the
scenes OF his training, for the forth
coming effort to regain the heavy
weight championship.
Three great crowds were avoided
by the former cham pion, in getting
his wife, Estelle Taylor. comfort
ably settled in an uptown hotel.
Thousands were assembled at two
stations of the Northwestern rail-
| road but Dempsey alighted in a
suburb where he was unrecognized.
Then he went downtown to
! meet the bunch" but the Morrison
thotel lobby and entrance were
| damned so tightly that he tried
three times without success to get
| inside and finally had to enter the
back door.
Once settled in the bungalow on
! the roof, he greeted scores of old
friends and newspapermen.
Its great to be back in Chicago
Dempsey said to them all. II see
I've lots of friends here and I have
| always wanted to fight here. I
! don't know of any place I'd rather
win back my title than right here.

day. Manager Leo Flynn hoped TO
| get in a round Of golf with Demp-
sey and perhaps Tex Richard, to
help Jack get rid of his train
legs"
The latest word from Champion
Gene Tunney's camp at Spectator,
N. Y, was that Tunney would ar
rive late next week to finish his
training at the Cedar Crest Coun-
| try club.
The size of the purse Tunney will
carry off. win, lose or draw. in the
battle at Soldier field. Sept. %, is
one of the things Dempsey's friends
were concerned about while Jack
was resting up today, for the start
Of his training grind next Monday.
Champion Gene will get around
a million and quarter for his one
fight, Dempsey's advisers have fig
ured, while Jack will get about half
that sum. Tunney's contract calls
for $4,000 and one-half the gate
in excess Of a million.
Dempsey is the drawing card in
this fight" said Floyd Fitzsimmons
a promoter himself and one OF
lDempsey's close friends. "And every
body knows 1t too. If the gate goes
to 100000 as Tex Richard and
his hackers expect, Tunney will gel
in the neighborhood of 100000
for his share. Dempsey's percen-
tage will be no where near this
amount"
The former champion is figured to
get around 100000 while the mo-
ton picture profits will be shared
equally by Tunney, Dempsey and
/ Richard.

Prices Of Beetle and Ant Egg Food
Exceeds Those of zone Arm"

dried flies at forty cents a pound

sixty are holding menu costs at the
Bronx geological park far beyond

Fastidious appetites OF one of

Blair, director of the Bronx zoologi-
cal garden.
The city spends more than $44,-
900 annually, DR.. Blair says, to feed
hundreds OF animals and reptiles
and 2,040 specimens of birds. Birds
are among the zoos most expensive
residents. For some of them dried
fies are imported from Europe, two
of which are devoured daily. and
for other birds ground beetles and
ant eggs must be imported from
Africa and South America.
The weird assortment of Chow"
served from the zoo commissary
daily is as equally strange as the
assortment of residents there. How
ever, few people realize. officials say
that most of the poor, confined

the present environment than they
would be in the wilds.
This Is mainly because a great
proportion Of them are native New
