WHAT TO DO WITH SHYSTERS
By Charles p. Driseon

The word shyster is used by lawyers to designate
a member Of theil profession who is unethical or
crooked. "A shyster is a lawyer who takes fees from
both sides in a divorce case, for instance, and, knowing
the man to be tie Weather of the two parties TO the
suit, rigs the case in the mans favor, although the
woman may have been his client. A shyster will stoop
to anything. He will rob orphans who have committed
to his care by the court. He will bluff widows out Of
their inheritance.
Bar associations are concerned about unfolding the
dignity and honor Of the profession, and they are con-
tinually worried about shysters. Once in a while they
get one disbarred.
But there are shysters in all professions and bust
nesses. The reputable matchmaker, for instance. must
have an awful time competing with the shyster watch-
makers. A friend was telling me this morning that
he took his watch to a jeweler to be cleaned, paid $3.50
for the job, and when he got the watch back il
wouldn't run. He took it to another jeweier, who
told him that the watch had not been cleaned and had
been improperly put together. This fellow charged
him $3.50, and the watch won't run. Also, the crystal
fell out. Ny friend is in a fair way to lose faith in
watchmakers and jewellers. And yet l know that there
are thoroughly reputable repairmen who will clean a
watch carefully, piece by piece, and assemble IL prop
erly. They generally charge a little more than the
shysters, and they ought to charge more. Also, they
ought to be patronized.
shyster bankers cast discredit upon trustworthy
bankers BY robbing banks from within and then buy
ing off justice if it is for sale. These shysters do un-
told damage to an honorable business. If | were a
reputable banker / would work night and day for state
and national laws that would infliet at least life i'm
prisonment upon any banker who betrays the trust Of
his depositors.
There are shyster druggists who water their drugs
of strong alcoholic content, and in a hundred petty
ways bamboozle their customers. Usually they are
%trifling tradesmen, robbing their ~neighbors Of small
sums and furnishing inferior goods. But all in ali
they constitute a serious problem for the public, which
wants good drugs just as earnestly as it wants good
undertakers, and a serious problem for the reputable
druggists, who have to face this unfair competition.
Every trade, business and profession ought to be
organized against the shysters in its own body. Law
years should be employed by the reputable tradesman
and professional man to prosecute the disreputable
competitor. Good dentists should b merciless in COM
bined effort TO scotch the quacks in their own profess
sion, and certainly reputable doctors should never
testify to save from justice a doctor guilty of mall
practice.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The re-
publican convention at Kansas City
was a flop, as q show, from the day
IL opened.
The democratic convention at
Houston was q flop dating from two
or three days before it opened.
The democratic stage management
was a little better than the repub
leans. There was a better imitation

ton was superior to the Kansas City
article. Still, you can't disguise it

stage Of the game al Houston that

strange"
Flavia concealed a smile.
They are artists, my dcar. Some

voice held a note of scorn in il. I've

Flavia shook with mirth.
Never mind, honey. everybody

This il one Of the places where the
funny-looking people hang out. That
is why we brought you here. There
are plenty Of other places that are

They were in and out Of several
interesting places during the eve-
ming. Flavia seemed to know some
one everywhere they went. Janet
was having a lovely time. But her
escorts were a trifle disappointed.
Instead Of the funny remarks and
questions they expected TO hear,
Janet was solemn as an owl. She
looked on wonderingly.
AS the four were driving 70 the
hotel in a cab, Flavia, feeling she
would rather not send Janet home
alone with Sir Henry, Janet surprised
them with suddenly asking seriously,
as though she were talking to her
self:
do you suppose those funny-look-
ing people enjoy themselves? They
don't look happy"
FlRvia explained:

~insulted If you thought them happy.

Some Texas democrats who have left the reserva-
ton, as respects their partys national ticket, are
j~ustifying themselves and trying to entice others TO
join them by saying that Gobernor Smith bolted he
party platform when he declared that he would advo-
cate modification of the volstead Act if elected. The
argument that when the nominee bolts the platform the
rank and file are morally free to bolt the ticket is log
zeal enough. But before it could be allowed in this
case as a justification Of those who have bolted the
ticket, better proof than has been offered would have
10 be demanded the Governor Smith did in fact bolt
the platform.
II has been said by one Of those who are trying to
convict Governor Smith of disloyalty to the platform
that the convention rejected q plank expressing the
view Of the volstead Act which he voiced in his tele-
r~.u 70 Senator Robinson. The intention must nave

was where she should be. and she
really had been lovely TO her.
Janet told herself maybe there was
something wrong with her, because
she didn't feel she could like those
kind Of people. IL was just because
everyone she had always known were
Just plain old acknowledgements.
She hadn't begun living yet! She
shook off the feeling of uncertainty
and fell asleep. There were muddled
dreams Of freakish looking men and
women, cellars and caves where they
dwelt, and Janet had a dreadful
nightmare. She dreamed she was
being chased BY an old bag who kept
trying 10 catch her to make her go
back home.
Janet awakened late in the morn
ing with the first headache she had
ever had, and an unpleasant taste in
her mouth that made her thoroughly
miserable until late in the afternoon.
She decided she did not like cock
tails. They we're all right when you
were drinking them. But she had
read enough about the after effects
Of indulgence to know that what she
had was a slight hangover.
Flavia had called a renting agent
early in the morning. and had given
him some idea about the sort of a
studio Janet would need. A large
room with an open fireplace, perhaps
a small kitchen and a bath, furnished.
By the time Janet arrived, he had
called Flavia and assured her they
had located just what her friend
would want.
Janet looked about her uncertainty,
as Flavia led her through dirty
streets filled with ragged children
and listless, unkempt ~grown-ups. Her
small nose was offended with the
odor Of the place. and her refined ma
ture rebelled against the general sur
r%oundings. But Flavia seemed to
take it all as q matter Of course, and
explained, as they went along:
These streets aren't very nice,
I'll admit-and the people look pretty
terrible. But nobody thinks a thing
Of it down here. Why, these studios
are at a premium. If / didn't know
this agent it would have taken days
to find even a prospect"
They entered q shack that looked
rs though il had once been q private
house and mounted stairs that were
not any too we'll kept. Flavia opened
a door, and exclaimed on the thresh-
old:
"PricelessI Oh. Janet, don't you
love this? It's perfect for you!"

The greatest need Of any country is high order IF
citizenship. Thai fact i beyond dispute. The citi-
zens Of any nation are factors which prescribe to what
heights that nation may hope to rise. On the other
hand, any country in which high standards Of citizen
ship are forsaken is sure to decline. History tells
this story in no uncertain language. Nations which
were once foremost in the annals Of world progress
have fallen in ruin when their people allowed their
national vigor to lapse.
Many years had passed before America began to
realize that ii was Of utmost importance to preserve
the fiber Of her citizens, by adding to that fiber only
such human stock as would strengthen it, rather than
intersperse it with weakening elements. When We
realized that careless immigration supervision during
past years had permitted too much human dross to seep
into the melting pot Of American civilization, We de-
termined that from that time forward eternal vigil
ance should be our watchword.
The knowledge has come to our national mind that
social and economic dangers lie in a tide Of inmigra-
ton which is not vigorously censored. The injustice
has been a double one-to the native American and u
the newcomer; and the congress has wisely limited
the admission Of aliens seeking opportunity and en-
ployment among US.
without such limitations we should have been soon
submerged IN social decay; and our unemployment
ranks would have grown 70 distressing proportions, y
say nothing Of the economic waste and expense OF con
triouting to the upkeep of many groups who were not
yet ready 70 enter fully into our national life. PHYS
N' 80" YAK MoEal oeleCtlVes nave also been put
under ban by the restrictive immigration laws, thus
lessening our responsibility to society in general for
the type Of people and the kind OF citizens which cas-
the mold of our national life.
And thus we have begun to preserve the standards
Of American civilization by enacting immigration laws
of exclusion. kindly tempered, but disqualifyng GER
tam types Of immigrant aliens who would, il admitted.
become a lasting menace to manp Of the things which
We hold most dear.
Our immigration laws, as they stand TO-DAY .ov,r
two general classes Of aliens: First, those whom ne
exclude, regardless of nationality, because of some dis
qualification, mental. moral, physical or racial; sec
ond, those who are natives Of countries upon which We
place a numerical restrict coming in excess of those
quotas.
