We let politics and graft infest our
police departments, and we bind up
our courts in a mass of red tape and
archaic procedure, and yet we are
puzzled because SO few criminals are
caught and convicted.
We send a Michigan man to prison
for life because he had pint of gin,
let an Albert B. Fall give away sew
eral hundred million dollors' worth
of government property without pun
iShment, and are surprised that the
ordinary man is losing his respect for

Three of our largest basic industries

textile manufacturing trade-are de-
pressed as seldom before; but any
man who dares hint that we are not

RELIEF FOR INDIANS
Duluth News Tribune)

While the action of the Hibbing
Kiwanis club in taking steps to
alleviate the suffering among the In
dians around Cass lake, by furnish
ing food and clothing is commendable,
the fact that private agencies find this
necessary is another reflection upon
the inefficiency and negligence of the
Indian bureau
If the Indians had what is right
fully theirs, they would not need
outside assistance. If the government
had taken steps years ago to admit the
Indians to full citizenship and had
worked along with them in agricul-
adapted to, most of them would now
be self-supporting.
But the Indian bureau has been
content to consider the Indians as
wards of the government, and to dole
cut from time to time the funds which
accumulate from the sale of lands,
which belong to the Indians AS long
as the government considers the In
dams as wards, it is responsible for
their well-being and it is up to the
Indian bureau and the government
to see that there is no suffering and
want.
If the present unfavorable condition
of the Indians caused by cold and
lack of food is an emergency then
emergency measures should be taken.
Red tape should be cut. The govern
ment should provide immediate relief.
1t should not be. necessary for private
agencies to do this.
The sooner the government does
away with old and obsolete Indian
bureau methods and begins to liqui-
date the affairs of the Indians, help
ing them to become self-supporting
citizens and giving them what is
rightfully theirs, the better it will be
both for the Indians and the govern
ment.

and First and Second Zones
Effective March 1, 1929, the
Askov American is $500 per
year to subscribers living out
side of Minnesota and the first
and second ZOnes-a greater dis
lance than $50 miles from the
office of publication.
The price remains the same
-S1.50 per year-tO those living
in the state Of Minnesota and
the first and second zones.
To advertisers-local especial
ly-the circulation that they
are mostly interested in is the
one we have in Pine county,
and therefore our stress is
largely laid on building up the
circulation within the county.
The postage on papers sent to
Iowa, Nebraska, and mOreso,
California and other distant
states is also more and hence
the raise to $500 per year on
those subscriptions.
Many rural weekly newspapers
are charging $500 per year for
their paper locally. We still
maintain the low price of $3.50

Bravo. PHILADELPHIA!

Philadelphia has had the reputation
for many years of being corrupt and
contented." But a certain momentous
event there yesterday conclusively DEM
onstrates that on occasion administra-
ton of justice in the City of Brotherly
Love can be swift and sure.
Late Thursday night "Scarface" AL
Capone of Chicago, the most notorious
"gangster" and "racketeer" in the
country, was picked up" on an ordi-
nary charge of gun-toting. With him
was his bodyguard, Frank Cline, an
other shining light of the Chicago I'M
derworld. On Friday morning Capone
and Cline were taken into County
Court, were branded by the peoples
counsel as common menace to the
community, pleaded guilty and were
sentenced to a year apiece in jail. An
hour later they were locked up In
Moyamensing Prison. American GRIM

amples of such expedition.
Philadelphia accomplished in less

has not dared to do. Capone has beer

Dwight F. Davis.

Dwight F. Davis has been appointed
and has accepted the Office of Governor
General sof the Philippines. The selec-
ton of Mr.. Davis for this important
post is happy one. AS Secretary of
War, Mr.. Davis was in close contact
with the affairs Of the Philippines. The
administration of the islands comes
under the Jurisdiction of the War De-
partment. Furthermore, the United
States maintains a considerable mill
tary force on the islands In which the
War Department is directly interested
After Mr.. Davis became Secretary of
War he was interested In building up
the utility of the Army in peace time
activities. Some of these activities have
been undertaken in the Philippines.
The Philippine Islands are far greater
in extent and in importance than many
Americans, living thousands of miles
away, realize. They represent. too. the
farthest outpost of the United States in
Asiatic waters. Upon their proper ad-
ministration much depends, not only
for the island peoples themselves, but
also for the continued good relations
Of the United States with the powers
Of the Far East. Mr. Davis Is well
qualified to have charge of the admin
istration as governor general. He has
demonstrated his executive ability as
Secretary Of War and as Assistant Sec
rotary Of that department. During the
World War he served In the Army over
seas, being commissioned first a cap
tain, then a major, and finally lieu
tenant colonel. He was awarded Dis
tinguished Service Gross for heroism in
France. Ever since he left college, in
1900, and returned to his home in st.
Louis, he has interested himself in pub
lie affairs. One Of his accomplishments
was The establishment of public baths,
and he was a member Of the st. Louis
Park Commission at the time when an
elaborate system of public parks was
outlined.
President Hoover regards the ONCE
Of Governor General of the Philippines
as one of major importance. He is to
be congratulated upon filing the post
so adequately. Problems of administra-
ton as we'll as of the policies to be de-
veloped and carried through in regard
to these island possessions call for
diplomatic ability, common sense and
flrmness. The trade relations between
the Philippine Islands and the United
States are always a matter Of keen in
terest to both. The new governor gen.
eral will be In position to advance
American interests as well as those OF
! the islands.

Wade Hampton's Life
Achievements Lauded

From the Charlotte IN. c. Observer
Statuary Hall, in the National Capt.
tai, will soon make room for the like
ness of Wade Hampton, Confederate
Cavalry leader in the War Between the
States, late Governor Of South Carolina,
and who has often been referred to as
the South's greatest soldier. her most
devoted son and one of her most devout
patriots
With the announcement that Hamp-
tons likeness will be placed beside those
of other empire builders, the remarkable
career OF this great South Carolinian,
his brilliant achievements during the
Civil War, the record of the turbulent
period in 1876 when he was elected gov
ernor OF the State. and finally wrested
his State from the rule of Negro and
the carpetbagger, are recalled.
The achievement of this man, who
proposed TO Jefferson Davis, President
of the Southern Confederacy, following
the surrender at Appomattox. that the
war be continued west of the Mississippi,
and who offered his services to the
rin-chief of the Southern
armies TO carry out this proposal. are
written in blazing letters throughout
the history OF this most trying period in
the life of South Carolina.
Hampton is an outstanding figure in
South Carolina history.s His labors for
the rehabilitation OF his State after the
war were as great as his achievement
as a soldier There is no slur upon the
record OF this great man. 1t is fitting
that his - ME should rest with those OF

past into the present somew be-

feriority completes for which he tries
to compensate in ways obvious to any
luckless motorist who has been unrea-
sonably "cussed out for driving past

On the whole police promotions have
been made on merit in most American
cities. The executives have come from
the ranks by their own efforts. But the
merit has been largely that of Drawn,
courage and personality. The success
of such officers in dealing with the
complicated situations they have been
called upon to handle has been due
largely to instructive capacity. The So
cial structure has become altogether too
complex for instructive solutions of its
difficulties.
II sometimes feel" said prominent
Washington clergyman recently, that
no man has any business being min
lister unless he is also a physician,
psychiatrist, a sociologist and lawyer.
But no man lives long enough to learn
enough to be minister" This applies
even more forcefully to the policeman.
He cannot possibly know enough to
meet the opportunities of his job or to
solve correctly all of the problems that
come before him. His work touches upon
every phase of human activity. He
should at least know enough to know
where to turn for help without too
much fumbling.
The courses planned at the Chicago
universities will include such studies as
anthropology, psychology, modern Ian
guages, psychiatry, sociology, chemistry,
law and fundamentals of medicine. The
application of all of these to the police
mans job is obvious. The perfect officer
would have professional knowledge Of
all of them.
The patrolman will be the backbone
of the city police department for many
years to come. But it may not be en-

will come when he will disappear al
together and the policeman will be a
learned gentleman who seldom leaves
his office. He will solve crime before 1t
happens.
This appears a fantastic picture. 1t
is unlikely that any one now living will
see it realized. But institutions just as
fundamental as the patrolman have
disappeared in the past because there
was no longer need for them. The es-
tablishment of the police colleges may
well be a step in this direction.

Retirement Bill Reported.

The Senate civil service committee
favorably reported yesterday the Dale
bill to liberalize the civil service retire.
ment law. 1t is now on the calendar
and may be passed by the Senate during
this extraordinary session. The calen-
OAR may be called and if there is no
objection the Dale bill may be passed.
The calendar was called last week
and some bills passed. The oues-
ton was then raised as to wheth-
er leaders would allow the pro-
Cedure to continue, some members eX-
planning that they had been holding
back because it was understood that
general legislation was not to be con-
sidered at this session. The answer
then was that the committees are
organized and the legislative machinery
may grind, although it has been the
hopes of the leaders that they might
be able to hold down as closely as pos
sible to farm relief and tariff bills. 1t
Is, therefore, for the Senate itself to
decide, and those who are leading the
fight for relief for the veteran Gov
eminent workers are hopeful that the
Senate will soon pass this bill.
The identical measure passed the
House last session by vote Of 219 to o,
after 281 members had signed petition
asking that it be allowed to come up
4Nder a special rule. Four hundred
M mbers of the House have signifed
that they are in favor of the bill and
only one has said that he is opposed to
ct. This measure was reintroduced In
the House by Chairman Lehlbach of
the House civil service committee.
So the prospects are bright for favor
hble action in the House. This would
probably not come up in the House
until the December session, because the
civil service committee is not organized.
IT could, of course, be called up under
special rule or by unanimous consent,

unanimous for the measure. There Is

The action by the Senate committee
yesterday is encouraging to the veteran

chem that their friends in Congress are
persistently working for this legislation.
It causes them to look forward with
more confident expectation to conclusive
action early in the first regular session
IN December. Theirs is worthy cause
