DAYS may be utilized in discus

before the Senate acts upon II and
sends ii along to President Hoover
for signature.
II was thought that the solons
would have been so weary that the
upper house would have taken the
word OF the house Of representa-
tives for It's contents and merits
and passed IL along. But it seems
a certain amount of arguing must
be done by senator's. even If awaken
ed in the middle Of the night.
But we must not kick. They are
sent up there to guard III money
and our economic safety and they
should look into the matter. But in
this particular instance w would
forgive them If they would just take
a dutiful peep and say 1t is al
right, Mr.. Hoover
. Had a query yesterday wanting
to know why they referred 10 the
j bill as the omnibus bill and some
times as the pork barrel. The first
arises over the fact there are so
many projects combined in the bill
and the second because it represents
the expenditure OF 50 much money,
with congressman supposedly favor
ing their own districts with a little
coin OF the government.
THOROUGHLY stirred over the
death of a reporter, Chicago
newspapers have opened fire
with their power OF public agitation
and as a result city officials are be-
ginning to pack their grips and
hastily retire from public life. The
church is stirred and demanding
an expose of any partnership found
between politics and crime, and a
Judge has administered terse in
Nd uctions TO a special grand jury.
The power Of the press TO stir
: public feeling and guide the actions
OF people is again demonstrated,
but you will notice that a life wen
thought of had 10 be sacrificed be-
fore the public became thoroughly
aroused. AS usual there has to be
spilled blood OF those considered in
nocent before radical action fol-
lows.
Should the death Of Alfred Lingle
be the means OF cleaning out Chi
