SHOOTING ON SENATOR'S

The senatorial mind is aroused again. This time it has been discov- cred that spies are on their trails. Then snoopers, it is surmised, are none other than gentlemen employ ed by prohibition organizations who wish to determine just how many senators drink in private while voting dry in public,'
 Some time ago a leading prohibit ton organization declared that il really made no difference whether q senator or congressman acted thus, So long as he voted dry, it was argued. the vote counted for just as much as if he really practiced how he yoted Can it be possible that this official attitude has changed?
 The new development, however, indicates once more how prohibition has made snoopery popular. Even senators are discoyerng that the dry law has its dangers. There is no teli- ing how soon a scandal may break if Senator Brookhart has his way

COSTLY ECONOMY

The State of Massachusetts has certain building regulations apply ing to public and private structures. Recently the Brockton City Home was destroyed by fire. resulting in seven deaths. The City Home lack ed fire escapes The reason it lacked them was that the city was "too poor" to provide them. Since 1923 the Home had been without state certificate of safety. It was in that year that city officials refused to place covered fire escapes on the building on the order of the state building inspector
 It is safe to assume that all pri- vate institutions which were order ed to install fire escapes did so. l. quite frequently happens that municipalities, which ought to set an example, are the least inclined to conform to the most elementary rules of safety that private institu- tions are forced to follow in tho same city.

\ FRANK MAYOR

Not everybody identified with politics is as frank as the Mayor Of Chelsea, Mass. He is Mayor John J. Whalcn. and he has a brother nam cd Frank Mayor Whalcn has been criticized for having done well by Frank,
 Frank is listed as a chauffeur on the city payroll He doesn't work at it, though, and doesn't even know how to operate the type Of cars own ed by the city; neither has he li- cense 10 operate one.
 The Mayor says his brothers duties are little or nothing"
 The Mayor puts it this way:
 "My brother was connected with the electrical department ot the city for nine years. When Lawrence Quislcy became Mayor he fired him and he pounded the bricks for two years Now he's going 10 have a soft job for two years 10 make up the time he was out"
 That frank admission should tend 10 disarm the Mayors critics. Had he tried 10 stall along with some lame explanation he would only have added fuel 10 the flame of opposition. All his critics now can do is to hold their hands up in dis gust and go their weary way.
