GOVERNMENT BY CUNMEN

Several months ago the government Of Italy wiped
out by courageous and relentless methods the bandit
bands which for generations had preyed upon travellers
and natives in Sicily. Thus it gave to the people Of
that island security from the blackma and depreda-
tons of the brigands.
The situation in Sicily tina. Of government Of
crime, ramifying through official circles its methods
for defying and defeating justice
1t takes not student of crm!no.ogy to see that the
same condition is threatened in the big cities Of the
United States. 1t is matter of common knowledge
that the members Of the criminal gangs, which have
their organizations dangerously ramified throughout
the large centers Of population, in large part

There is no obligation resting Upon this nation to

and who a menace to the communities and who
demoralize the forces of law and order Deportation
is harsh but there is the least reason for failure
to employ it where it may be legally invoked to rid
the country of undesirable aliens
Federal officials should look into the antecedents of
all known gangsters and gunner and carry out their
deportation if it is established that they are illegally
in the United States. Doubtessly some of them were

THE NEW MINISTER

Although it may be distasteful to him. the modern
preacher, whether Of large small church. must
devote much Of his time and thought and energy to
administrative problems relating to the church. The
way it conducts its temporal affairs may affect the
Influence Of the church.
Recognizing this need in the ministry for knowl-
edge of business administration, the University of
Chicago has naugurated a course in church admins
traton for the student preachers in the Chicago Theo
logical Seminary.
The new course has revived old debate and pro-
voked new arguments from varied sources. Glenn
Frank, president of the University Of Wisconsin, is
among those lured into the discussion. His opinion Isl:
These offered to prospective and practicing
cergymen simply added evidence Of the tendency
to drain off into administrative work an altogether
improper amount Of the preachers energy that should
be free for his major duties prophet and priest"
While the weight Of the evidence is against ncreas
ing Of the preachers administrative responsibilities,
there is precedent in Biblical times for the prevailing
ytate.
Job divided his time between preaching and produc
ing Nehemiah spread the gospel while he undertook
to rebuild jerusalem Paul during the very formative
years Of the church found much of his day consumed
by the worldly troubles of the church. Daniel found
time to rule the province Of Babylon and preside
chief Of the governors the wise men while he
prophesed and preached.

STRAWS

! For several weeks the nation has been watching
with kesnest interest the progress Of polls being
Quoted by magazines newspapers and other enterprises
They have become important part Of every national
campaign.
It is not assumed that these straw votes indicate
with any degree Of accuracy the ultimate result. All
that be said Of them is that they indicate roughly
the tendencies They represent the intentions Of
cal groups rather than cross-section Of the whole
voting population.
On the whole tho straw votes forecast Republican
year. And this is . Republican country, and as the
Republican party is united they to indicate what
would naturally be expected under the circumstances
Republicans win not place much stock in the poll
giving Herbert Hoover more than hsh the states Of
the Solid South but when straw votes give New York
10 Hoover their hopes confirmed Something
prophetic is also in newspaper poll placing every
state outside the Democratic South in the Republican
column.
A poll conducted BY periodical Of national circu-
lstion, which missed the 1924 results only per cent
Is giving Hoover majority Of more than 6o0o0o with
2b38997 "votes" cast this proportion is carried out
election day, Hoovers majority would be about
100000 votes. There Is every to believe that
the poll viii prove not far wrong.

to 4. On election day most of the
New York betting was on an even
money basis.
Cleveland was the favorite over
Harrison in 1888, but in 1884 and
1892 the Wall Street favorite won.
Bryan was a slight favorite in the
summer Of 1896. but the odds shift
ed to Mckinley in early fall.
Mckinley was a 4 to l favorite
in 1900, Roosevelt to l in 1904
and Taft 8 to l in 1908. In these
cases the favorite bettors were
cautious at first and heightened the
odds subsequently,; the failure of the
odds against Smith to lengthen ap-
preciably may indicate a feeling Of
greater uncertainty. They foresaw
the Republican landslides of 1920
and 1924, however, as election eve
odds against Cox and Davis were 10
to / and Is to 1.
It may be worth noting that the
1880 election bets were 3 to on
Garfield. as they now are on HooF-
er, but that Garfield's popular ma
joriy over Hancock was only 10000
votes.
Summing up. it may be suggested
that betting odds are one of the best
political barometers we have, but
that they are by no means infallible,
especially in abnormal years. Rep
resenting the judgment of men who
are willing to risk hard cash on their
judgment, they are more reliable
than the irresponsible claims Of pro-
fessional politicians.
Straw votes are somewhat differ
ent because one can prove almost
anything with their results. When
the Pathfinder, with it's large rural
circulation, conducted poll which
ended with Hoover running 233, 900
to Smiths 10000 it was easy for
Democrats to shout jubilantly that
Smiths urban majorities could
easily overcome Hoover's slight
edge in the country and the small
towns.
The Literary Digest poll, not con-
fined to rural districts, gives Hoov-
err a much larger margin. The fig
ures thus far are bound to inspire
most Republicans with confidence.
Yet there are plenty Of Democrats
to exult over the indication that
there will be many more 1924 Cool

ana the result is thus described in John Drnkwater

upon an angry Tory replied that it was filter than
to trust it to men who had ruined themselves by

house that it was wrong that the previous speaker
was justified OF his reproof that he conscious

to atone for them.
