melancholy and uncivilized. They are
like ghosts Of dead woodlands which
cannot rest in the grave civilization has
dug for them.
The lawmakers, the policemen, the
sober and substantial citizens have not
found them. Nobody throws crumbs
sentimentally to the waif woodlands
But the neighborhood children have
found them and play with them. There
is "a mutual attraction between these
strayed patches of the soul of the
primeval wilderness and the primeval
soul of childhood. The waif woodlands
shrink in fear from men and women
but they love children. They would be
happy If left alone to play with the
children.
The neighborhood scalawags also have
found them-and this is responsible for
q major part of their melancholy. Their
shadowy depths are found strewn with
broken whisky bottles, corks, caps and
labels. After dark they are bits Of the
ancient. silent. beautiful forest night.
In the midst of this the bottle opener
seems an unspeakably obscene instru-
ment; the merriment of the drinkers
the most terrible blasphemy. One might
expeet that great, sad buried god, the
primeval forest itself, to rise from its
grave and smite the intruders.
If only these pathetic waits, strayed
so far from their natural habitat. could
be left alone to play with the children
who understand them!

Uncertainty of Jobs
In Base Ball Is Noted
Cleveland Plain Dealer

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Nothing could better illustrate the
absence of sentiment in major league
base ball than the announcement that
Manager Joe Mccarthy of the Chicago
Cubs will be out at the end of the
season.
Until two weeks ago the Cubs were
leading the league. There was every
indication they would again meet the
Athletics in the world series this
month. This in spite Of a serious run
of injuries that had kept much of their
playing strength on the bench.
Then for some unaccountable reason
the Cub pitchers forgot how to pitch.
When they returned to Chicago from
their Eastern invasion they were all but
out of the race.
Asserting that he must have a win
ner, William Wrigley, jr., owner Of the
Cubs, says Rogers Hornsby will lead the
team next year. He has high regard
for Mccarthy and will help him find q
new job, but he is through at Chicago.
Fair-minded fans who have watched
Mccarthy bring the Cubs from the bot
tom OF the league to the top in his
tenure of five years are unanimous in
the Judgment that he is receiving
shabby treatment at the hands of his
employer.
Who shall manage the Chicago Cubs
is not exactly public question. But
those who have so generously contribut-
ed to their support in recent years have
more than passing interest in it, If
the White SoX management is alert to
its opportunity, it will win back to the
South Side much of the hold it had on
the Chicago base ball public before the
Black SoX scandal of 1919.

Cramton Loses by twenty-five

Representative Cramton's defeat for
nomination in the seventh congress
sional district of Michigan has finally
been confirmed. After counting and
recounting, the contest eventually going
to the State Capital for conclu i've test
OF the returns, the margin in favor of
Mr.. Cramton's competitor has been
placed at twenty-five votes, reduction
of seVenty-seyen from the majority
originally announced. This is very
narrow squeak. But, as Mercutio said,
though not so deep as a well nor so
wide as a church door, 1t will serve.
Mr. Cramton is eliminated from the
race for Congress this year. His sue
cessor in the House of Representatives
will almost certainly be the successful
competitor for the Republican nomi-
nation, for the seventh district is par
ticularly Republican in the strongly
Republican State of Michigan. But, of
course, this does not mean that Mr..
Cramton is eliminated for all time
from the congressional equation. The
persistence with which he questioned
the primary returns until he worr his
opponents margin down to twenty five
votes shows that he likes the job of
Representative. He will probably be in
the running two years hence. He may
aspire to the Senate, He may go for
State office. He has distinguished
himself in Congress and stands well
with his party and with his State, de-
spite his present defeat, which is at
tributed to other than economic or per-
sonal questions.

nent resident was Fernando Lopez, a
Portuguese who was mutilated by order
OF Albuquerque.
O. What is the highest temperature
OF the ocean water during the bathing
season at Atlantic City and at Palm
Beach?-E. B.

the force of gravity. The air close to
the ground Is pressed down by the
weight of the air above it, which makes

Impersonality of the Census.

No matter how altru.stic may be the
aims of those DESIRING the information,
the Attorney General has ruled that the
/, Census Bureau may not furnish the de-
tailed data concerning names and adj
dresses which would form the basis for
contemplated work. In the case of the
Womans Bureau, which wanted certain
information relating to workers in
Rochester, N. Y. in order to conduct a
study in employment among women, and
in the case Of educational organizations
interested in specific cases of illiteracy.
the Attorney Generals ruling has for
hidden access to the census records
involved.
The ruling is based on the absolute
necessity for maintaining the inviola.
bility of confidential information OBJ
tanned by the Government in its work
of compiling statistical records. One
has only to realize the dangers inherent
in a departure from the traditional
secrecy surrounding the census returns
to agree that the ruling is sound. To
make any exception would open the
door to requests, for detailed data that
might soon undermine the faith of the
people In Uncle Sans ability to keep a
secret. Political pressure and "inf1u-
ence" being what they are, information
that would be worth its weight in gold
might be obtained from the Census Blu
reau that would not be used in any
such righteous work as fighting illiteracy
or lettering conditions of employment
among women.
The United States. once every ten
years. goes to every citizen and makes
conditional proposition. If the citi-
zen will answer personal questions, en-
abling the United States to provide
impersonal and purely statistical in
formation for those desiring it. the in
dividual answers will be jealously
guarded from all prying eyes, and none
will be the wiser. And every citizen
accepts this promise for what 1t is worth
and answers questions. The imper-
sonality OF census returns is the citi-
zen's protection against what otherwise
would be regarded as a decennial spy
ing expedition on the part of an army
Of census enumerators.

Chicago Crime Drive
OF Minimum Magnitude

From the Houston Post-Dispatch.
Chicago's latest crime drive, studi-
ously advertised in advance as coming
lion hunt in the jungles of gangland,
results in the bagging OF mouse. No
big game has been located, say the
hunters, but they have brought in the
youthful brother of an alleged racke-
teer. The youth will not be allowed to
escape. A charge of driving an auto
mobile without city license tag to and
from school has been lodged against
him. He doubtless will be duly pun
ished for this crime. Police, not only
in Chicago, but in most other cities, are
paragons of perfection when it comes
to enforcing the law against minor traf-
fic offenders. The citizen who runs
over an imaginary traffic line or parks
q few minutes too long is far more in
danger of apprehension than is the
murderer or the hi-jacker. In the
meantime. the brother of the luckless
young prisoner in Chicago remains at
large, and If there has been any dim
mutton of the illegal business con-
Quoted by him and the rs other pub
lie enemies" who were ordered to be
put ON the spot" by law enforcement
agencies, there has been no note of it.
The speakeasieS, we may be sure, are
running in their customary way and
without interference from the police.
Those institutions are getting their sup
plies of illicit booze regularly and they
are getting it from the liquor barons,
whose gunner continue to terrorize the
CITY, The definite relation between
crime and the liquor business in Chicago
has not been broken, but Chicago police
are unable to find any of the principals
in the racket. No police force in the
world, perhaps, is as distinguished for
inability or unwillingness to bring in
the real criminals as is the Chicago ag-
gregation. Just for the novelty of the
thing, it would be interesting to see the
force bring in q criminal they really had
something on"
