Little Mike Vengalli is dead.
He was playing in the street.
A big car swung around the
corner.
There were six men in the car.
AS they came to the place
where Mike played,
Guns roared,
A man fled,
Five children fell.
One of them was little Mike.
The bullet had gone through
him very easily,
For he was only years old.
WHO KILLED LITTLE MIKE?
lone of the men in the car"
you say.
Yes, but there was more to it
than that
Much more.
That man pulled the trigger,
But who gave him the chance
To pull that trigger?
How did those six men dare to
ride.
Publicly, on such an errand?
What has come to pass that,
every day,
Men should ride around
In cars like that,
Shooting guns like that,
Killing whatever gets in their
way?
Twenty years ago, things like
that
Didn't happen in America.
We were doing reckless things,
And foolish things,
And bad things,
But we weren't doing things
like that.
There were guns then, too.
And people who liked to use
guns,
And quick ways of making a
getaway.
Yet we weren't doing things
like that.
WE WEREN'T DOING THINGS
LIKE THAT,
BECAUSE WE WE'RE AFRAID
OF THE LAW.
The Law meant something then.
If the Law said a thing,
It didn't say things
1t didn't say things
It couldn't do.
It didn't bite off more
Than it could chew.
The Law worked then
That's why men respected the
Law.
The Washington times., 1931-09-11
LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

For one one respects
A Law which doesn't work.
A Law is only good
AS long as you can enforce 1t.
After that it becomes
A worse menace
Than the thing it fights.
A law you can't enforce
Calls the bluff on all authority,
Makes a joke of all decency.
After that, any thing can
happen.
That is why things like this
Are happening now.
WHY WAS LITTLE MIKE
KILLED?
He was killed because someone
Had made a monkey Of the Law
which should have protected
him.
Find out who has
Made monkey of the Law,
And you will know
Who killed little Mike.
Who made a monkey of the
Law?
Not the man in the car,
He was only an agent.
Not the gangster above him,
He is only an opportunist,
Profiting by a situation
Which somebody else created,
Profiting by the chaos,
Which comes when Law breaks
down.
Who created that situation?
Who is responsible for that
chaos?
The law breakers?
No-they are only the conse-
quence.
THE LAW MAKERS
THEY ARE THE CAUSE.
The respectable, righteous
citizens,
The stubborn, Short-sighted.
Well meaning but fanatical men
Who created a law
Which says things it can't do,
A law which bites off
More than it can chew
They made a monkey of the
Law,
They made it possible
For thugs to run amuck in cars,
For thugs to run amuck over
the nation,
Laughing at Law,
Spraying streets with death.
Those men,
Those good men,
Who wouldn't, personally,
Hurt a fly
THEY KILLED LITTLE MIKE.

Significant Notes in
Labor Day Speeches
But the most significant
note struck in these addresses
was one of protest against the
ballyhoo about the dole. No
one wants a dole-least of all,
the men in breadlines. England
did not want the dole-but it
meant dole or revolution there.
And William Green. of the
American Federation of Labor,
does not want the dole-either
from Government or private
charity.
But he serves notice:
"The antidOte for the dole is
work. There must be either
work or a dole in some form.
Which shall it be?"
And Senator Wagner says:
II am weary of the pretenSe
which shouts opposition to the
dole and in actual practice
fails to make adequate provision
for jobs and would limit its
efforts during the coming win
ter to the stimulation of local
and private dOles."
And Senator Borah says:
'If the public dole system is
established in this country, it
will be forced by those who,
having the means, refuse to do
their part in feeding the hun
gry."
And if they fail, he foreshad
ows possible events in Washing
ton this winter. when he said:
"If the wealth Of the country
does not voluntarily contribute
to the end that we may take
care of them, there is only one
thing to do, and that is to feed
those people from the Treasury
of the United States and in
crease the income tax, particu-
larly in the higher brackets, to
enable us to do it."
There was an abundance O
warning in the speeches on Labo
Day.
But no one wants a dole
either Federal or private. The
self-respecting workingm n
without a job wants no hand
out" in a breadline-he wants
an opportunity to work and
earn his bread.
That work must be furnished
by private industry or by Gov
ernment-and the National Ad-
ministration is still included in
Government"

The Labor Day address and
expressions may be divided into
parts. One, those of the cheer
full optimist, incapable of see
ing that the present depression
goes deeper than any we have
ever had before; and those who
face realities.
The former are the repre-
sentatives of the Federal Ad-
ministration which looks about
and can find no Armenian or
Belgium children among us
asking for bread.
Mr.. Doak, the Labor member
of the Cabinet, whose agility
was illustrated in the flip-flop
he took on the Wagner bill, goes
to the Administrators phono-
graph case and puts on the
old familiar record: prosperity
Is Just Around the Corner"

Eddie Rickenbacker, the ace of American aces in the world war, is still pretty good shot-with a harpoon-and admits it.
 Why, I'll tell you," drawled Ed die, as he unfolded his fish story on the dock of the Montauk Yacht club, the day before the Gold Cup races were run.
 We were out a few miles off the point, looking for game, and some one yelled shark. l took one look, ran forward with a har- poon and let. her fly. Believe it or not, it went smack through the middle of MT. Shark and if you're skeptical about it, there she is."
 There was no doubt about the aforesaid shark being harpooned, but it also looked as though this particular menace to the seas had been used for rifle practice.
 Anyway, it was a good story.

In Defense of Umps.
 These fellows who have been complaining about the umpiring this season." remarked the Nation al Leagues chief executive, John Arnold Heydler, without mention ing any names, do not stop to consider that the job of calling decisions is one of the toughest in the game.
 If an umpire makes mistake he is condemned. If a ball player makes an error. he is excused and encouraged to do better the next time. Very often, the fellow who makes the loudest ompla ain against the umpire did not even see the disputed ball clearly.
 Baseball players readily admit that Bill Klem is one of the best i,mpires in the business but hey forget that when he first broke in Klem was the target for all kinds of abuse. He refused to let it dis courage him and has won genera respect.
