HELPLESS Chicago

Seldom has society's helplessness in
the face Of gang insolence been more
clearly demonstrated than in the
case of Danny McGeoghegan, Chi
cago beer hustler, who got free of a
charge of conducting a 100000 bank
robbery the other day when the
states attorney asked the courts to
dismiss the indictment.
This action was taken at the re-
quest OF the two bank officials who
had identified McGeoghegan as the
robber and who were to be the prin-
cipal witnesses against him. They
had received SO many threats that
they had to live under constant guard
in a Chicago hotel, and they finally
begged the states attorney to call the
whole thing off so they could breathe
freely again.
Could there be more striking in
stance Of the utter breakdown of law
enforcement? The episode is a worse
stain on Chicago's record than any
OF its innumerable unpublished gang
murders. 1t reveals a society stand
ing completely helpless before the
threats of gang of desperadoes.

WHY DRAG IN GERMS?

The audacity of the charlatan is
astounding. He poses as health
authority and he practices as a ply
sician. He holds himself out as Doc
tor Wood U. Believit, and as his war
ranty for that he boldly announces
that he has a degree which no med
ical school or recognized educational
institution grants. The charlatan no
doubt invented his own degree. He
knows his public.
Here is his explanation or defini-
ton for tuberculosis:
"a continuous splitting up of the
waste products of bacterial decom-
position"
Please keep in mind particularly
the charlatan's acknowledgment that
the waste products are of bacterial
origin. In other words something
produced by germs. If your mind is
capable of retaining that impression
long enough you will enjoy the SEN
tence that follows. The charlatan
goes on to say:
1.-The germ is merely an acct
dent. The soil must be there first.
1t doesn't matter whether tu-
berculosis germ is present, or one
that produces pus. -"
There is second tacit and nc
doubt inadvertent admission that
germs have something to do with pu:
that germs produce pus.
Stick around. This fellow is hu.
morouS.
In another paragraph in the same
harangue-a direct appeal to pros.
pective customers - the charlatar
says:
The tonsils :. +. there is pus in
them the tonsils are loaded
with pus and other products of
putrescence. -"
Again an unconscious admission
that germs cause putrescence, for tn

germs produce pus, and here he ad

Shrapnel From Antietam

One of the oldest of recent news
stories, surely, was the one which told
how doctors removed two pieces of
shrapnel the other day from the nose
of Alexander Kile, 93-year-old Civil
war veteran.
Kile, who lives in Oregon, got those
two mementoes of his army days dur
ing the battle of Antietam, which
happened more than 60 years ago
Apparently he had carried them
about with him all this time without
being greatly troubled by them. It
was not until just recently, when he
went to a doctor because his nose felt
funny, that the bits of metal were
discovered.
Surely, this aged veteran must jus,
about hold the worlds record for 6

The International Squeeze

Was or was not the stage set at
Lausanne for an international squeeze
play with the United States as the
intended victim?
That seems to be the crux OF the
argument now going on between the
English diplomats at London and
those Of France at Paris. The United
States is sitting back and watching,
a more than casually interested spec
tator.
The French say that the gentle
mems agreement" reached at Lau-
same passes the reparations buck
squarely up to Uncle Sam. The Brit
ish say they are panied to think that
France could possibly make such an
Interpretation.
To us it is obvious that either one
or the other group is composed Of
fools or liars, or possibly both.
The text of the agreement discloses
that the Lausanne treaty, revising
Germany's war debts downward, will
not be ratified by the various nations
until they have, themselves, COM
pleted satisfactory arrangements with
their own creditors.
In international finance that
means the burden will eventually be
laid at our door, for the United

Goodby and Good Luck

Bismarck today says goodby to the
hundreds of young men who have
been here during the last month as
officers and trainees at the Fort Lin
coin Citizens Military Training Camp
The hand which it extends in fare
we'll will be grasped little more
firmly than that which marked our
greeting, for the last month has
made noticeable changes in these
citizen soldiers.
The trainees, here a month, are
bronzed and rugged. Most OF them
are stronger and heavier after a
month of activity in the out-of-
doors, bolstered by good food.
The citizen officers, most of whom
have made their camp period their
vacation from regular work, also ben
Gifted, renewing old acquaintance
and learning anew the finer points
of military tactics which are so cas-
lily forgotten.
The benefit to the men involved
has been substantial, but the national
defense is the greatest beneficiary
In time of stress America could call
on these officers and men with the
assurance that good many of the
raw edges have been taken off, that
relatively little additional training
under the pressure of an emergency
could fit them for active service.
Time was when the high-soundine
phrase citizen army was just 8

the only real creditor. It owes its
own citizens huge amounts which
they subscribed to carry on the war
and to help finance European ma
tions in their participation, but it
owes our late allies nothing. Nearly
every other nation owes England as
well as us, but England, in turn, also
owes us. If we would cancel our
claims, England could cancel hers
with small loss.
The Lausanne deal seems to be q
very neat arrangement and one to
the advantage of all concerned-since
the state department insists that the
United States was not represented.
If America is considered, however, it
seems a one-way bargain.
No matter what the French and
British diplomats say, it is obvious
that we are about to hear new and
heart-rending appeals for relief from
the just oeptS winch Cnelr war placed
upon them. Uncle Sam, great good
natured BOBBY, Is to be cajoled into
new sacrifices in order that the world
may again be made safe for an all
powerful British navy and an over
whelming French army and air
force.
1t Is a pleasant dream for Europe
but there are signs that the Ameri-
can people are about to give the plot
tiers a rude awakening. They GER
tainly have 1t coming.
Meanwhile, it is interesting to
watch the show and to see two of
the leading actors get their signals
mixed.

SHIP RACING
Wherever ship models are known,
Roosevelts pet hobby is legend. For
years no Roosevelt family reunion
was complete without a race OF mod
els on the Hudson. Each entrant was
required to furnish his own toy ship,
and competition was keen.
Also sailboats were insisted upon,
the design being left to the creator.
A 42-inch schooner or sloop was usu-
ally the largest size allowed. All four
children were participants. Two out
siders might generally be found: one
William Smith, pet boatman for the
John A. Roosevelts, and Louis Howe,
one-time newspaperman who has
been the governors aide for many
years.
The race was staged across the
Hudson, with Rosedale the most fire.
quent starting point.
It is one of the family's jests that
only once did Howe's boat win, and
that was due to a storm which un-
masted all other entrants.
Roosevelt's models and prints fair
ly clutter his town house, and there
is an overflow in his Duchess County
residence, which he has preferred to
all others.

1t is unacceptable, therefore, that
germs are concerned in putrefaction
when putrefaction occurs in the It's
sues.
The charlatan plainly implies,
without putting the idea into honest
words, that the toxins which he
deems it necessary to throw off"
or eliminate" in any and all ILL
nesses. are the products of germs, and
that is the nearest he comes to the
truth.
The charlatan betrays his ignor-
ance by referring to a chiropractor
thus "Dr. John Doe, D. c." whereas
any eighth grade schoolboy knows it
should be either DR.. John Doe, or
John Doe, D. c., If that is the mans
degree, but never both. Just as it
should be VIM. Brady, M. D., or DR..
VIM. Brady, but never DR.. VIM.
Brady, M. D. Again the charlatan
betrays his ignorance by referring
repeatedly to toxic poison" Now
poison is poison whether you think
so in Anglo-Saxon or in Greek, and
you can't make it any worse by call
ing 1t poisonous poison in both Ian
guages. If you are just airing your
deep erudition for an audience of
yokels, why, maybe you can win the
confidence of some of them by char
acterizing all poisons you deal with
as poisonous or toxic. But how any
honest individual or organization can
foist you on the public as compe-
tent health authority is hard to un-
derstand, though not so hard as it is
to understand how the public can
stomach you at all. Perhaps the Or
ganization that foists you feels that
its share of the plumber you take
from the gullible public is sufficient
to warrant the business. But for the
life of me can't see how the intel
ligent portion of the public can sup

The Speaker Candidate
(WaShinpton starr

In the nomination of John Nance
Garner as their candidate for vice
president, the Democrats have made
new political history. They have
chosen for their second nominee the
speaker of the house of representa-
tives, who. if elected, will move from
one presiding officers chair in the
capitol to another, from the south
end of the building to the north. 1t
has been in the cards that Mr.. Gar
ner might be placed at the head of
the ticket and, in the event of sue
cess in November. move from the
capitol to the white house.
A year ago the possibility that John
N. Garner might be a presidential or
vice presidential prospect was not
considered. He was a member of the
house of representatives, was, indeed,
the third oldest member of the house
in point of consecutive service. He
was floor leader of his party, with
the prospect of continuing in that
role during the 72nd congress, in
which it was expected that the Re-
publicans would control the organi-
cation. On the eve Of the opening Of
the session the narrow Republican
margin disappeared and Democratic
majority developed. The Democrats
organized the house and Mr.. Garner
was chosen speaker. He then became
definitely a national quantity. Soon
movement for his nomination for
the presidency began. He became a
"favorite son" Of Texas and, with the
solid vote of that state and the vote
Of California in the Democratic pri-
maries, in which, to the surprise Of
many, he was given preference, he
entered the lists at Chicago as Sc
rious contender for the presidential
nomination in the event that Roose-
welt was stopped" That did not
happen. Roosevelt was not stopped,
but went on to convention victory
unchecked, save for brief delay, and
it was the Garner vote that carried
him over the two-thirds line.
Roosevelt and Garner constitute q
geographically antipodal ticket. II
there is anything Of political advan-
tage in the wide separation Of the
two nominees, Is certainly effected
in this combination. The Northeast
and the Southwest are represented.
So also is the ticket antipodal tenn
peramentally. There is a consider
able difference in the characteristics
Of the nominees. -Four years ago the
Democratic party took almost an
equal geographical stride In combin-
ing New York and Arkansas. This
year 1t goes somewhat farther south.
