New Investigation in Chicago

Chicago. ever jealous Of her fame. could not permit
the Philadelphia politicians, gangsters and thugs to
occupy the spotlight Of publicity more than a few
weeks.
Conditions in "the city OF ~brotherly love" were. ano
doubtless still are, exceedingly vicious; but, according
to a Chicago grand jury, the lake city is fully as
wicked as its competitor on the Atlantic coast.
Oscar dc Priest, republican negro candidate for con
gress and one Of the main cogs in Mayor Thompson's
machine, is among the number indicted BY the Chicago
grand jury after bringing to light evidence Of payroll
padding and "rake-offs" in connection with the vice
rings Of the city. Eleven police officers are under in
dictment with the negro candidate.
Commenting upon evidence presented, the grand
jury in its report says: Conditions disclosed present
a picture Of the vicious system Of 'spoils politics which
is responsible in large part for the constantly mounting
burden of the expense of city government with its at
tendant evil Of e~xorbitant taxation"
The blame for the gambling and vice ring is placed
on the Thompson administration by the grand jury in
the following language:
Disclosures regarding conditions in the Second and
Third wards of this city show that these conditions
could have existed only through police protection.
Evidence has been submitted TO show that a so-called
syndicate was formed shortly after the present admin
istration assumed control.
This syndicate, controlled by political bosses Of
these wards, was a '~racketeer' organization. In order
to operate under protection the owner Of n gambling
house. or a house used for other criminal purposes.
would nave 70 pay IN some cases as high rs S5oO a week
10 collecting agents Of the syndicate-these agents
having been shown to this special jury as being both
business and political allies Of the ward ledaers.
"Some operators tried to run without paying for
protection, bat soon found themselves raided and ar
rested while all about them other operators we're per-
mitted to run by police. unmolested in return for their
protection payments
Conditions such as the Philadelphia and Chicago
grand iuries have revealed are a reproach to the gov
eminent Of the United States. II is almost incon-
ceivabie that the national government should permit
such open Haunting Of law. It is true there has been
n close political alliance between the Thompson ma
chine OF Chicago and the Ware machine of Philadelphia
with the powers A. Washington, but the malodorous
scandals OF those cities have 20 incensed the decent
people Of the country, that the political ties are rap
idly looseninE. And IL is probable that in the not far
distant future public opinion will force either the state
or national government to intervene in behalf Of com
mon decency.

be no mistake about Senator Norris. He is no potter
He is an independent in politics. He supports demo-
cratic nolicies when he thinks they are wise and re-
publican policies for the same reason. He camPaigned
for William B. Wilson, democratic nominee Tor the
senate in Penn.ylvania, against Boss" Ware Of Phil
adelphia.
Although in opposition to President Coondge ana =
large part Of the republican party, Senator Norris gal
lantlv defended Muscle Shoals from interests seeking
TO get control Of this public property.
Senator Norris wants American agriculture freed
from the INEQUALITIES to which it is now subjected and
nIaeed on n profitable basis. He thinks Mr.. Smith and
the democratic party are more likely TO accomplish
that purpose than the republican party and its presi-
Dental candidate.
Senator Norris has for years waged war on the
mower monopoly and is the outstanding advocate OF
waterpower conservation for the benefit of the Ameri-
can people. Mr.. Smiths waterpower policy IN New
York state makes him acceptable to Senator Norris.
The senator is also a strong believer in progressive
government, as proved by his public career and his in
dependent attitude in the senate. The democratic
party has always been more progressive than the re-
publican party. In fact, this Is now the only major
difference between them.
Senator Norris is In congenial company and will
fight for principles he has long advocated. He should
be Of great service to the democrats in the middle and
northwest.

The Citrus Fruit Situation

The first car Of Valley grapefruit has been shipped.
The fruit passed the test prescribed under the green
fruit law, and, it is understood, will be given a favor
able reception on the Northern markets.
Valley growers. however. should not Re stampedod
into shipping fruit merely because X will pass the
test. Experts report there are some varieties suffi-
GENTLY matured 70 permit shipping. but the bulk Of
the crop will not be ready for movement before the
middle If November. Great care should bc taken not
20 ship fruit that is not up 70 the Valley standard in
every respect.
Northern dealers report that competition from Flor
ida this year. despite the rate decrease granted Florida
growers, will not seriously affect Valley markets.
Practically all dealers forecast profitable prices for
grapefruit throughout the season, but point out that
the mid-sesson price vii be reduced materially if the
early season fruit is not up 70 standard. In other
words, immature Of poor quality fruit, placed on the
markets at this time. will seriously affect consumption
and demand later in the season when the major part Of
the Valley crop will be ready for shipment.
Dealers also suggest that growers who are making
early shipments should pick their fruit with great care.
assuring the shipment If we'll matured fruit only. "A
few boxes Of inferior fruit shipped al this time. they
point out, may result in the loss n a very profitable
market later in the season. They also advise all
growers to insist that their fruit Re properly graded
and packed.
Indicative of conditions in the Northern markets il
a report from Seattle, Wash, to the effect that Crane
fruit is bringing IS per case on that market, but the
dealers will handle only well matured fruit. A small
shipment If immature fruit from California was
promptly rejected. the commission men refusing TO
place it in the hands Of retailers. In reply TO ship
pers' protest they asserted that sale OF the fruit would
result in destroying the market for the season.
As a result Of the severe losses sustained by Florida
and Porto Rico grapefruit growers, the supply Il ex-
pected TO be considerably less than last season with q
more widespread demand. Consumption Of grapefruit
h. increased enormously in recent years, in both the
domestic and foreign markets. and with decreased pro-
duction this demand is expected 70 create A very profit
able market for the Valley crop.
Valley dealers are confident the markets for the
Valley product will be expanded materially this wear
providing Valley growers refrain from pacing on tho
market fruit of inferior quality or not sufficiently ma
tured to come up to the Valley standard. They point
out that with increased consumption, and a more wide
spread recognition of the superior quality Of Valley
fruit, the foundation can be laid for markets that will
assure permanent prosperity for the industry.

The novelty of the thing made everybody smile

then looked up at the soaring plane, that's the human
race doing that! And I'm one of it, and so are you"
A little reflection caused M to quit looking proudly
