Organized Crime and Prohibition

Those who fighting organized crime in Cook County
have depicted the situation in numerous appeals to the
public In substance it is this A few years back the
criminal was ndiyidualstic and had to defend himself
alone Today criminals have formed an alliance and
at their command paid attorneys and carefully pre-
arranged plans to foresta and in of detection to
evade the meshes of the law. The criminal and his
allies sysemzed crime Their efforts correlated
from the very inception of crime down to the time

fuge.
Those who responsible and who have proflted by
the barbarous conditions which has developed have put
forth the aib that prohibition has been important

criminal combinations. What these should say is

Ears to the Ground or the Sky---Which ?
(By GEORGE BRIGHAM SAFFoRD)

(By GEORGE BRIGHAM SAFFoRD)
HE keeps his ear to the ground The wise politician is
supposed to make this constant practice.
We all understand what the phrase means. The man
who keeps his the ground constantly listening to
the of his constituents He every means in his
power to learn what they want what the majority
think When he has discovered what the majority
thought upon any question: he complies with 1t IN his
legislative activities
Many representative in legislative halls considers
this his duty The favore phrase is, Il represent
the people in my district Whatever they want.
In such cases. even though the representative is
WINGED that the people wrong he sinks his
victons out of sight and follows the multitude.
But why he concerned about their opinion? Is 1t
for his information? Is it that he understand better
the subject under discussion? Usually it is because he
wants to be reelected. That that the main
for keeping his to the ground is purely selfish
His final doing is not What do for
the people?" but What they do for me?"
Acting from such motives the claim that he is seeking
TO know the will of his constituents is often mere pre-
tense Concerning this class of politicians. it is ap
propriate to ask after all what voice he listening
Is he actually listening the of his constituents
His masters voice? Much of the time it is the latter the
master being the local political boss who by years of
carefully applied chicanery is able to deliver the political
convictions OF his district on any doorstep from which
adequate financial returns may be obtained.
This ear to the ground policy, if carried to the
by public servant often amounts to the betrayal
of his duty to the country and his duty to his
stituents 1t is notorious fact that skifu manipuators

"Veal Wit Duplinks''
(By GEORGE BRIGHAM SAFFoRD)

We saw this sign in Greek restaurant the other day
the lower Northside in Chicago 1t was printed in at
tracve letters the front window 1t represented
honest effort of 100 per cent Amercnsm Instead of
inviting people to caeone heenicon it invited them
to truly patriotic dish. Veal and dumpings certainly
displays Amercanism unalloyed. But "dupinkS" shows
what the proverbal melting pot is doing to of our
defenselesS dishes It has knocked out letter and
changed another from "g" to "k' Perhaps the Greek
is a who worships the letter ok" Perhaps
"dupnks" nothing but the result of friendly effort
to help out the who does the spelling for the Ku
Klux Khan At any rate, we must conclude that the al
teaon of two letters out Of nine is not to be tolerated
perhaps the gastronoc center of our beings What
happy memories it arouses. How smoothly it rolls off
the tongue. What suggestion of delicious gravy and
we'll fabricated degutton conveyed in the sound
of it,
whole procession of domesticated members of the
NAL creation rises before in genial cloud. Veal and
dlunplngs may have been in the lead, but beef and
dumplngs" is at hand and chicken and dunplings"
follows close Turkey at its side and rabbit and squirrel
belongs in the list of dumping associates, and at the
end of the procession the posSu comes Shung along.
All of them familiar associates of the toothsome
"dumplings They suggest everything that is smooth,
easy and Hastily delicious.
But "duplnks" does not suggest anything smooth and
easy. It suggesting cold in the head and
is rough travelling auto on WORKOUT asphalt
pavement. It bumps and knocks you.
Such dissertation can not be tolerated Safety first
should take this before the League of Nations. We
not allow the unsophiscated immigrant to do violence
to traditions in this way The dumping" expresses
simon pure 100 per cent Americanism. 1t may be the
neal descendant of the British beef potpe but it has
been completely domeScated that all British charac-
eriscs long since removed The British potpe is
kind of stiff baked creation but the American
dumping is as soft and yielding a babys cheek.
It has become characteristic American DISH and the
traditions of ancestry involved in it's preservation.
Ignorance is True patriotism will not permit
us to pardon the Greek who feeds his customers
"duplinks."
America First" must stand guard and Safety First"
must investigate this transgression.
