II you ever wonder Wig II Is that such a city as
Chicago continues to be oyerrun with gunner who
have their complete freedom despite the fact that
any school child can enumerate their crimes by the
dozen. IL might pay you to consider a recent article in
The Nation by Lawrence Howe.
Mr.. Howe was detective sergeant in Chicago for
two decades, and consequently speaks with the auth
ority Of long experience. Pointing out that Chicago
has 100 times as many robberies annually as London,
and u times as many as all Of Canada, he proceeds
to answer the question, How Gomez"
To begin with. he points out that Chicagos geo.
graphical location. her pre-eminence as a railroad
center. her proximity to state boundaries and the
nearnesS Of half a dozen state prisons condemn her.
inevitably. to more than her share Of crooks But that
isn't al Of it. He goes on to repeat what he once told
q candidate for mayor. who asked him If II would be
possible to rid Chicago Of criminals.
Il assured him. writes. that If l were permitted
10 pick p detectives, trustworthy and competent Of
ficers who knew the underworld. and had charge Of
their activities. I would undertake to rid Chicago Of
all professional crooks in go days, provided the mayor
would carry out his part Of the program. His part
would be to see that when We made an arrest and
prove the man guilty, there would be no fixing Of the
case. A conviction must follow.
The judges. states attorneys. court clerks and poll
ticians must not be allowed to be bought by the ac-
cused in an effort to thwart justice. They must be
invulnerable TO all approaches, whether Of bribery,
politics or friendship. The candidate for the mayor
atty recognized the futility Of attempting such q dras-
tic reform"
It Is that final sentence that sticks in ones mem
DRY. The candidate for the mayoralty recognized the
futility OF attempting such a drastic reform" Why?
Simply because the "fix"-the use Of extra-legal
methods to gain special favors-iS such an integral
part of American municipal government that trying
to root II cut as accepted. BY men familiar with such
matters. as an utterly hopeless task.
This, in turn, obviously means that the countrys
war on It's criminal class is, just at present. decidedly
a losing struggle. Favoritism is too deeply entrenched
Scoundrels have too many influential friends.
If this were Chicagos hard luck alone II would not
be 50 bad But II isn't. Chicago Is Just bigger. Other
cities duplicate its faults. Mr.. Howes remarks apply
for all Of us.

S5OO,OOO,OOO For Travel

The close Of the tourist season brings the estimate
that American travellers this summer spent no less
than $500. 600 900 to visit Europe. That is a rather big
piece Of change; one wonders just what the American
tourist got for his money.
In some cases. probably. he got nothing at all The
man who goes to Paris only TO infest the American
bar and exchange hometown "reminiscences with
some other compatriot might Just as well be staying
at home. But for the most part. very likely. the tour
lists got their moneys worth. IN crossing the ocean
they got a glimpse Of a civilization that Is quite IN
like their OWN.
Even granting the contention that many tourists
remain quite impervious to the effects OF this expos
ure Of old-world culture. II Is obvious that the effect
on America as a whole must be considerable. Provin-
cialism cannot live when people 20 travelling on such
a scale.

Cost of Couzens' Victory

Sen. James Couzens of Michigan. progressive re-

$500 to win a denomination. His majority was the

There was a haze of smoke

Webster was growing a trifle rowdy.
She noticed that Eve Brooks was
flirting openly both with Jimmie

The announcement that a law
