~ Ontted Press
CHICAGO, April 9.--Alfred Lin
gle was not a racketeer, as often
charged, and he was in no sense
"the unofficial chief Of police" the
Chicago Tribune, for which he
worked as reporter, contended to-
day in its story, THE Solution OF
the Lingle Murder"
The Tribune pictured Lingle as a
stock market plunger and race track
bettor who made a grand display
when he won and said nothing
when he lost.
After Lingle was killed last June
9, many stories we're published
charging that he had been go
between" for police and gangsters.
The Tribune said that Lingle's
reported huge income was largely
mythical and that his bank deposits
of $26,500 in one year represented
money he repeatedly Withdrew and
redeposited.
No evidence was found that Lin
gle accepted money from gamblers
or used his friendship with Po-
lice Commissioner William A. Rus
sell for personal gain, the paper
contended.

Mr.. HOOver's Chance
If He Can See It

President Hoover has the for depression in his hands
but unless he administers promptly will be too late to
administer.
The cure is call Congress special session at and
submit to it proposal for prosperity loan of five billion
dollars.
This loan suggested recently in nationwide radio broad"
cast by William Randolph Hearst would end unemployment
and the business slump. .'...s-.-. -
It is in substance least President Hoovers plan
He had much say about before he naugurated but
he has little do with it since he was naugurated Yet
the need for it is greater than ever .
Unless it speedily adopted six million men will be out OF
work another winter and twelve million women and children
dependents be hungry another winter as they
have been for the last two .
The prosperity loan for public works would give direct
relief to millions indirect relief to many millions
It would cut the Gordian knot of the depression.
It is Hoovers chance to do both his country and hn
self g. service. ..
It would not only jobs to the jobess but 1t would
restore Mr. Hoovers lost prestige as leader
And with his parys prospects what they are tne Mss
reason ought to appeal powerfully President seeking re-
election, even if the first does not.

Butler Can Find No
Real Leadership

Real Leadership
And on the day Senator Fess
was growing ecstatic over the
gorgeous leadership Of the Presi-
dent, Nicholas Murray Butler
in Paris was implying that
men in high position, who
should be leaders, are more
like Jockeys concerned solely
with keeping their seats.
He can find no real leader
ship anywhere-outSide Of Rus
sia; and no actual plan any
where-outside of Russia. He
laid a very depressing thought
upon our doorsteps-but one
long overdue.
Russia's Challenge
To the World
The ugly truth is that the
Russian Soviet has thrown down
the most serious challenge to
our capitaliStic system Of So
ciety it has ever received.
Coming to us at a time
when many millions OF bread
winners over the world cannot
earn bread for themselves and
children, it is all the more dan
gerous.
This, says DR.. Butler, makes
it all the more incumbent upon
the nations representing the
capitalistic system to put their
economic house in order and
to decide upon a plan.
When the hungry man finds
one system presenting a plan
and 'the other none, his loyal
ty to the system that has no
plan is apt to weaken.
An ugly thought. but one
that must be faced.
We now know that the World
War was brought on by the
stupidity of craftsmanship.
We have a right to ask If
the stupidity of craftsmanship
and the lack of leadership is
going to finish the wrecking
the war began.

a. bit SNUG and intolerant.
Their tempo is the same.
Neither one wants to forge
ahead or lag behind the other
in tackling life. AS q conse-
quence, neither one imposes
strain or humiliation on the
other. Neither character chal-
lenges the other or forces it
into conflict. And so, they
"get along" not because their

aren't. BUT BECAUSE THEIR

ARE THE SAME.

the important things in love
and life. If we could hon.

attitudes, we could practically
eliminate the risk from mar.

There never yet was, q lazy

didn't believe he was an eff

Intoxicated BY Love
Nor a slow-poke who wasn't
positive that he was a leapin'-

true Of those intoxicated by

MUST TWO PEOPLE HAVE
THE SAME INTERESTS IN
ORDER TO MAKE A HAPPY
MARRIAGE?
A young man is asking. He's
an engineer. She's a librarian.
His life revolves around pumps
and motors. Hers around books.
Can they "get along with inter
ests so widely divergent?"
Yes-if their attitudes click.
ATTITUDES, not INTERESTS,
are the "tie that binds" Yet
not one lover out of ten thou
sand realizes that truth.
Joan likes to dance-so does
John. John likes to play ten
nis-so does Joan. Having as
certained these facts, they mar
ry in the blissful certainty that
they were meant for each
other" and all will be well. Six
months later, they wonder why
they're bitter and bored. They're
bitter and bored because, al
though their interests are the
same, their attitudes are poles
apart. They face life and peo-
pie from entirely different
angles.
The GO-Getter
Johns a go-getter. Joan's a
Stand-patter. John likes to go
at life on high. Joan likes to
take her time. John has an
objective" mind-he lives out
side hirnself-is interested in
people and the passing show.
Joan has a subjective mind
likes to dream and mediate
prefers to be alone a good
deal of the time-iS bored and
irritated by too many people.
Johns business life-prompt,
orderly, a stickler for. system.
Joan'S careless-apt to dream
about vague distractions when
she should be calling up the
plumber.
John and Joan are both fine
people, valuable and useful citi-
zenS. The world needs Joan's
type of mind as much as it
needs Johns. BUT THE TWO
TYPES WON'T MIX IN MAR
RAGE.
