The Dope Ring" Scandal and
Politics

Developments the past few days in con-
nection with the spectacular federal raids on
dope kings" partly reveal the reluctance of
the Tammany city administration to "solve"
the murder of Arnold Rothstein. 1t has been
more than a month since Rothstein was
fatally shot at the plutocratic Park Central
Hotel The Tammany police, always quick to
act in behalf of employers against workers
on strike, are very careful to avoid unearth-
ing facts about Rothstein, his associates and
his murderers.
1t is now quite clear that Rothstein, who
was characterized as gambler, was in reality
head of a dope ring that handled millions
of dollars worth of opiates in a single tran
saction. 1t is equally clear that no such
organized band of dope peddlars could pos
sibly exist in New York without the knowl-
edge and connivance of Tammany Hall-the
new Tammany' that placed AL Smith at the
head of the democratic party as candidate
for president of the United States. This fact
explains the reluctance of the chief of police,
of Mayor Jimmy Walker, himself denizen
of the white light district of the roaring
forties and popular song writer to probe
the Rothstein affair to the bottom. 1t also
probably explains why the republican United
States district attorney, Tuttle and his
agents of the narcotic squad have suddenly
become so aggressive against the dope ring
of which the murdered Rothstein was I'M
questionably the head.
1t is certainly not because the republican
party, the party of Teapot Dome, the party
of the department of justice grafters, the
party of veterans bureau swindles, the party
that spawned Bill Ware in Philadelphia, Frank
L. Smith and big Bill" Thompson in Illinois,
is one whit better than Tammany and the
democratic party that the district attorney
moves against the dope ring.
In all the great cities of the country dom
mated by political machine, whether re-
publican or democrat, there are dope rings
and vice rings as part of the machine. The
republican district attorney is simply con-
centrating upon the New York ring because
it is part of the rival political machine. 1t is
part of the preliminary work for the coming
city election.
Comment in the capitalist press after the
raid of Friday night that Melted two trunks
full of assorted dope, valued at $4,000, 900,
indicates that the agents of futile have in
their possession the names of some of the
mightiest eminences of the city-the nabobs
of Fifth Avenue, Park Row and Riverside
Drive. Let no one be so naive as to believe
for moment that these best people," the
bulwarks of this capitalist civilization, will be
exposed as drug addiots. 1t would be very
poor policy to expose the fact that many of
the idle degenerates who parade as the
personification Of civic virtue are ordinary
hop heads.
The little address book taken from Joseph
Unger, the exquisite dope peddlar who was
arrested in his berth on the Twentieth Cen

ing, seriously influences certain
glands, so that the possibility of
development of the female body is
diminished. This explains why 30.4
per cent of all mill girls need medi-
cal assistance in child-bearing, and
that in 5.8 per cent of births the
dangerous caesarean operation must
be resorted to. On account of this
low state of health among the mill
girls, bourgeois doctors have de-
manded that no girl under IS years
of age should be allowed to work
in the mills.

Women's Wages Below Mems.

From the above it will clearly be
seen that the women's wages are
still Is to 90 per cent below those
of the men. In spite of the textile
mill owners huge dividends, ex-
tracted chiefly from the work of the
people on the lowest wage rates,
and in particular out of the bones
of the mill girls, in spite of the fact
that he unjustifiable range of wage
rates reduces more than half Of all
the textile workers to workers of
the second class. the trade union re.
formists have still not begun to ad.
vocate the old trade union demand
Equal pay for equal work."
Girls Health Ruined.
The mill girls ruin their health ir
damp, stuffy mills for a beggarly
wage. Examinations in the textile
districts show a number of narrow
hips and pelvis bones and abnorma
births far above the average. Thi.
fact is explained by the circum.
stance that the textile industry EN-.
ploys up to 66.4 per cent of girl.
from ID to 20 years of age, of whom
fully 60 per cent must go to worl
in the mills at Ia years of age, i. e.
when they are only half grown. The
intensive work by the textile ma.
chimes, most of which is done stand.

PENNEY COMPANY
PLANS TO OPEN
500 NEW STORES

The J. g. Penney Co., operators o.
1913 r>tail department stores will
negotiate 800 leases for new store
locations this sprIng for stores 10
be opened rs rapidly as store units
can be developed in Il special OK
pansion moVc Just authorized by tn"
board of-dircctors. This expansion
will involve an increase in retail
sales of between *l0,000,000 and
$50, ,000,O over the present rate Of
around %l90, 900, ,000 year. The
store locations VIII be confined to
cities and towns Of from $500 to
5000 population.
"The decision Of the board of
directors 10 authorize this new store
movement comes largely as result
of national demand from the
smaller towns for J. G. Penney CO.,
stores and services says Earl c.
Sans, president.
Mr. Penney has just returned
from Il trip lasting four months,
during which he jas covered seven
teen central western, southern and
far western states. have recently
covered several Of the east central
states. We have both discovered
that the smaller towns, with in
crc$s transportation facilities are
demanding the Same kind of shop
ping accommodations that the
larger cities are enjoying. In many
eases the sGcrctaryS of the local
chambers Of commerce have invited
us to open stores in their towns.
This is Il tribute not so much to tn"
growth Of the j. c. Penney Co.,, as
it is to the type Of service it rem
dcrs.
""Thc store units which will cstab,
lish in thcs" new locations will be
duplicates in stock, equipment and
facilities for service, of the stores
we are now operating in every
state in the union.
To Select Own Manager
Following the established policy
of the J. G. Penney Co., managers
for the new locations will be select
ed from the present store personnel.
We now have, in the company,
sufficient men to take care of the
managerial duties in the new stores
as fast as they are opened.
Central locations will be selected

Kings of Living

A grand and high-stepping monarch was old
Louis XIV-they still talk about him back in his
own home town. Nothing was too good for
Louis-in fact, the best wasn't quite good
enough
Yet his magnificent paIaa I'd neither gas nor
electricity and there wasn' led shower
in the place.
Today the average American citizen enjoys
conveniences and comforts exceeding Louis
XIVs most extravagant dreams. And many
things which we regard as absolute necessities
would have seemed the most elegant luxuries to
Louis.
Advertising has made possible this widespread
distribution of the good things of life. Advertise
inc has made possible large-scale production and
large-scale selling, resulting in prices that take
luxuries out of the "for-kings- only class.
It is well worth your while to read the adver-
tsements. They are largely responsible for the
hieh standard of living enjoyed in this country
today. And they are raising it daily, making us
kings Of comfOrt-kings for Louis to envy.
