Is 1t a Plum?

Politicians are busy trying to select new feoeral
district attorney in order presumably, to relieve Mr.
Hoover from this task when he takes the Office
and Albert Ward. present incumbent, retires.
They insist on looking at this Office piece of
political patronage to be given out by politicians, and
administered in behalf of politicians. But is this Office
political plum?
It's Importance has increased tremendously since
the coming of volsteadism and the rise of gang
crime.
just how important it has become may be esti

1t is also easier to import narcotics than it is TO

In such situation it is rather CHASTITY to have
the Office discussed only reward to some man
who has been more friendly to Senator Watson than
he has been to Robinson and to wonder what Boss
Coffin wants.
The place needs fearless man who will throw
fear into the hearts of all crooks. 1t needs prose-
cutor, not politician,
Let it be hoped that before Mr. Hoover names a
man, he will study local conditions and history and
discover just how far he can trust the advice of those
who claim the Office perquisite They have not
been particularly pubic-minded in their advice to
Presidents in the past in regard to many federal ap
pointments
If the politicians have their way, there is

Government by Fraud

its aims is the protection of the ballot from fraud.

Over Rating Cruisers

CENATOR JOHNSON of Cali
~ fornia is one of the latest to see
red, with war looming on the Pa
cific, England breaking faith and a
japanese lurking behind every pos
Sible object OF concealment.
He, too, weeps for cruisers, as
though they spelled the differnce be-
tween eternal bliss and destruction.
Well, am not against cruisers.
What inks me is this nonsenSical
overrating of them, this yell about
the imminence of war sS an excuse
for their construction, this insinu-
ating that they would make us ever
laStingly safe in the face of an
aroused intriguing world.
Bosh, these fifteen 10,00O-ton
cruisers represent about as much
money as we spend for chewing gum
each year and would contribute
about as much effective fighting
strength in case of general conflict.
Either our lawmakers are unduly
alarmed, or they ought to authorize
something far more worthwhile by
way Of national defense.

Renlacing Ghosts

sour cruiser building policy has not been policy
of increasing numbers, but OF replacement"
Now who do you think. said that? Secretary of
the Navy Wilbur? No. you are wrong-and right.
That is the chief argument of Wilbur and Chairman
Hale of the senate naval affairs committee and other
boosters for the fteencruiser bill before the senate
But this particular quotation is from w. G. Bridge
man. first lord of the admiralty speaking to the
British Constitutional Club
There in a nutshell-or bombshell-you have the
explanation of the method by which both the British
parliament and the American congress are led I'M
willingly into an armament race, which started
is almost impossible to stop. How plausible the argu
ment is made to sound, that new building program
is not really new at ALL but merely matter Of re-
placements.
That argument is absurd when applied to the bill
before the senate Two of the cruisers that being
replaced" are the Rochester and the Olympia OF
Standardization war fame. Those ships, laid down
nearly forty years ago. have been replaced by every
building program since theCwar.
So with twenty other cruisers, laid down between
1895 and 1905. AS late as last spring the navy
department supposed these twenty-five had been re-
placed to DEATH but now they savaged again for
the same purpose.
But precisely the same sort OF thing is being put
over on the British by their admiralty. Only the
British case is even worse.
Whatever tricks the admiralty may resort to- why
can't our own navy department be frank about the
issue? 1t is not question of American requirements
but of building up to equal British strength Britain
always has been superior in cruisers.
Since the Washington naval conference she has
increased her superiority. AS result the American
people, as we'll as the navy department, are de-
termined for the first time to achieve parity.
We believe it is dangerous and unfrendy to re-
sort to the threat of an armament until the
possibility of peaceful negotiation by the Hoover adj
mnistration and the forthcoming new British gov
eminent has been exhausted The cruiser bill should
be postponed in the interest of Anglo-American
friendship and world peace.

the butler established the feet that
when he rushed into the library he
saw her bending over the dead man
with a smoking revolver in her
hand. And, of course, there were
blood stains on her sleeve.
Yet any reader of detective stories
must realize that this is the flimsiest
case in the world Against such
evidence he can point out the fact
that Felicia is the heroine of the
novel and inevitable innocent
HeroineS are never guilty in detec-

there is the circumstance that

Is Peace HOPELESS?

GONE say no." some say that we
~ are moving toward the greatest
struggle of all time, that the So
called yellow peril is not imaginary,
but real, and that though western
nations might learn to live in peace,
there is too much of a racial differ
ence between east and west to per-
nit anything like permanent &C
cord.
Some, indeed, go so far as to say
that even western nations can not
live in peace, that war remains just
as inevitable as it ever did and that
our only hope lies in being con-
stantly prepared. We have been
hearing much along this line since
the cruiser bill came up for debate
in congress.
